"Your Excellency, Commander, you're right!"

After a long time, Nogi Noshinori finally said a word.

Xiaoshan Yan was so happy that he flew up.

Holding Nogi Noshinori's hand, he shook it excitedly: "Nogi, the empire will not forget you." I have reported the deeds of the treasure book to the base camp, and I will definitely give it to him posthumously. ”

Nogi Noshinori smiled bitterly: "People are dead, what's the use!" ”

Xiao Shanyan shook his head helplessly: "You have to understand me, our situation is not good now." ”

With a wry smile: "The base camp did not estimate the fortification of Lushun enough, not only did the map be wrong (don't think that the Japanese maps are always good), but even marked the fortifications around Lushun as "semi-permanent fortifications".

However, after we attacked, we learned that the fortress could withstand 23 cm artillery fire, and our largest caliber artillery was only 15 cm, and the weight and lethality of the shells were far from enough. If the artillery can't provide effective cover, we can only pile up with a sea of people. ”

"But how many of us have died in just a few battles. Fifteen thousand people died in the first total attack, and the casualties have continued to increase these days, reaching 60,000, if we can't break the situation, we will all return to China and be punished. ”

Xiaoshan Yan was also forced to be anxious.

"The base camp has given an ultimatum, twenty days, if we can't break through the Fort Arthur in twenty days, we will attack the 208 heights, what is the situation, you know."

Xiaoshan Yan's words made Nogi Noshinori smile helplessly.

208 Highlands, that's a meat grinder.

Nogi Noshinori didn't want to attack there.

Although artillery positions can be erected there and directly attack the interior of Lushun, Hongmao is not a fool, it can be heavily guarded there, and countless trenches have been built.

He estimated that if 100,000 people died, he would not be able to take it.

"I know what Your Excellency Commander means, but I'm going to try again, please allow Your Excellency Commander, if you can't win over that Nie Li again and attack from behind, okay?"

He was still unwilling.

So let go of the murderer of his son.

Koyama Iwa knew that he wanted to give Nogi Noshinori a face at this time.

"Good! But if it doesn't work out, then you have to win over Nie Li, you go in person. ”

Nogi nodded solemnly.

I'm going back to working on the second attack right away.

This time he intends to use new tactics. Determined to dig tunnels to plant explosives and blow up the three major fortresses in the northeast, he only had eight days.

The base camp gave Xiaoshan Rock twenty days.

And he only had eight days

Digging tunnels is impossible to complete in a short period of time, and eight days is estimated to be in a hurry.

Eight days later, Nogi's plan failed, and he miscalculated the difficulty of breaking ground in winter.

The soil of the three provinces is hard, and the iron is hard.

In desperation, he sent a report to Nie Li.

He decided to listen to Xiaoshan Yan's arrangement.

Nie Li received the telegram from Nogi Noshinori and was a little confused.

Discuss the big picture? I'm talking to you about what a war chief. Let's not get along.

However, due to the excessive spending these days, the three million that Nie Li borrowed had been spent.

I decided to talk to Nogi Noshinori anyway.

Let's see if we can make some gains.

In the past few days, Nie Li has been a big deal.

Blacksmith shops, hospitals, training grounds, and car dealerships, large-scale construction branches.

The three million borrowed drifters didn't fight, they were gone.

I don't even have the money to summon my little brother left.

In the past few days, Nie Li has not been idle, the Sailor Battalion is a good position, he can attack the city area of the ice-free port when he enters, and he can slowly encroach on Longwangtang and other places when he retreats, and he can even attack in the direction of Fengtian.

Nie Li took a fancy to it.

The security division was also transferred, and only one battalion was left there in Zhangjia Village.

The rest were all pulled to the sailor battalion.

He wants to make this place a base camp and a nail in the coffin for both sides.

More than 10,000 people controlled the entire battalion of sailors.

And those people who fled, Nie Li temporarily settled near Longwangtang, and even recruited a group of soldiers because of Chen Liuzi and others.

Not much, that is, three thousand.

But it's all young laborers.

With a little training, you can go to the battlefield, and Nie Li estimates that it will take a month to reach the combat effectiveness of the red-haired soldiers.

If you want to reach the combat effectiveness of your own troops, it will take at least three months.

At the same time, Nie Li also sent out a bright telegram, and a lot of news was also spread around.

"Nie Li is stationed in the Sailor Battalion, and people with lofty ideals are welcome to come and join."

This act, as the black word says, can be regarded as a stick.

Nie Li officially took root in the three provinces. So, near the Shuishi Camp and near the Longwang Pond, they all came to vote.

Even those killers who had killed the foot basin chicken man before and seen blood were also looking for a future.

Nie Li is also generous, whoever comes, no matter what, will be reimbursed for the travel expenses.

Selected, ten ocean settling-in expenses.

In eight days, Nie Li accepted such people successively, at least three thousand.

They were all sent to the training ground and trained.

In other words, Nie Li's forces have expanded again. From 14,000 at the beginning, it has increased to 20,000.

Just give him three months, and six thousand howling soldiers will come.

also received the news that Fengshan was out of the customs, and Nie Li temporarily settled Fengshan near Zhangjia Village, and that battalion was just to wait for them.

There are still quite a few long ones, and they are also on the way.

Prepare to follow Nie Li for a future.

Near the sailor camp, Nie Li built a war fortress out of cement, which was not enough time in eight days, but it was enough to build a rudimentary fortification.

It's like a trench, and it's almost dug all over the sailor battalion.

Even to increase the power of the trenches, Nie Li even added sandbags, concrete permanent mechanisms, turrets, machine gun placement points, barbed bars, spurs, barbed wire, and underground weapons warehouses and bunker-like command posts.

Moreover, this will be Nie Li's base camp, and the soldiers' lives are equipped with canteens, underground health centers, and toilets.

In short, the Sailor Battalion will become a combat bunker in the future.

Self-propelled guns of 194 mm caliber, and large guns of 230 calibers purchased from newly purchased drawings.

Align with the direction of the port.

Such a cannon can already be used as a foolish artillery for battleships.

There is a great power.

Nogi Noshinori received a call back from Nie Li, and specially invited Nie Li to come to the battleship along the river. But Nie Li, who spared his life, refused perfectly.

There was no way, Nogi Noshinori sent the ambassador of the foot basin chicken to Mukden to meet Nie Li.

Another day later.

The negotiator of the footpot chicken, that is, the ambassador came with two footpot chickens.

When they met, they bowed first: "Nie Overseer, I am the negotiator sent by Commander Nogi Noshinori, my name is Yamaguchi Youxian, please take care of me." ”

Nie Li summoned Yamaguchi Youxian in a bunker outside the sailor camp.

Looking at the respectful Yamaguchi Youxian, Nie Li smiled and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Yamaguchi, Commander Nogi Noshinori told me before that he wanted to discuss something with me, what's the matter?" You can also see that my sailor camp is quite busy. ”

"Let's make a long story short?"
