Chapter 242 Battlefield Observation

After a heavy rain at night, a thick layer of milky white fog accumulated in the valley, the faint sound of gunfire in the dull air, and the relatives became a little dull.

As soon as Duan Qirui was out of the tent, wearing a major general's costume, walked around the Japanese army's position as usual. At this time, William, Jefferson and others had not woken up. Duan Qirui was sent by the ruling axe to Lushun as an observer. Although he had any reluctance in his heart, in addition to obeyed, There is no choice at all.

On the trenches of more than 100 battles in front of them, there seemed to be smoke. The Japanese soldiers in navy blue military uniforms straightened up and walked along the trenches. In some places, some of the bonfires at night had not even been extinguished, and there was silence around, but this silence only lasted for a while. Soon, these soldiers would be sent. There is a "meat bomb assault".

"General Duan, you got up very early!"

Hojogawa showed some smiles on their faces when they saw Duan Qirui. In the past ten days, the two occasionally felt free of military and Eastern civilization together, and even made Hojogawa feel that it was too late to meet.

On the other hand, Marshal Naiki asked officers at all levels to respect the observers sent by Nanjing. The reason why he specially emphasized this point was, on the one hand, the contempt of the Chinese by officials at all levels, but on the other hand, it was because of the ambiguity shown by Nanjing in the Russian War.

Two days ago, the Chinese [***] team had recovered Lanzhou, and Li Jingxi of Yunnan had announced a change of flag. Now that China's affairs have been decided, the corresponding Chinese attitude in this war has become very important. The "volunteer army" outside the customs was divided into two months ago. Some of them entered the customs as the restoration army, and some were still in the northeast. This is about the survival of Japan, and there must be no possibility of affecting China's reversal.

Especially after the Russian ship "Lecitrone" escaped into Yantai, the two sides wanted to exchange fire, and they were not willing to make trouble again.

"The gun will be sound, and I don't want to sleep!"

At that time, Qi Rui looked at the soldiers who were grabbing the rice in the wooden box to eat, and a battle was about to start today.

"It's really gratifying to hear that General Duan will return to the Nanjing Staff Department today!"

Duan Qirui, who was staring at Hojogawa, pressed the handle of the knife with the palm of the saber.

"If this war can be done for China to join hands and refuse the West to touch East Asia, maybe you and I will work together again!"

"All this depends on the meaning of the ruling axe!"

Turning his head and looking at Hojo River, Duan Qirui said coldly.

"Sad Colonel Hojo needs to know that whether China participates in the war or not, it needs to show equal performance. We allow your military materials to enter Liaodong through Dalian Commercial Port, but your army does not comply with China's designated war zone, and issues military tickets in the war zone, requisitions without authorization, and even blames our citizens for the crime of Russian annihication. This is nothing. What a friendly move!"

This... Hojokawa's voice is hoarse, and those things are always inevitable in war.

"General Duan, those are inevitable in the war, aren't they?"

Just as the two were talking, the gunfire suddenly sounded, and the dull explosion echoed in the air, followed by the dense sound of rifles. The shooting on both sides became more and more intense, and soon turned into a roar that could not distinguish the sound of guns.

At this time, Duan Qirui and Hojokawa ended a pleasant chat and quickly walked towards the foreword observation post. At this time, the observation post was full of military observers from Britain, Germany, the United States, France and other countries. After entering the observation post, Duan Qirui, like others, picked up the telescope. Looking up at the mountain, the cannon tongue on the mountain kept spitting out, and the army's artillery quickly approached the faintly visible wall. The wall-style fort should have been built when Li Zhongtang founded the Beiyang Marine Division!

Duan Qirui thought so in his heart. In the smoke, a single infantry soon appeared, and then a team of Japanese soldiers attacked. Thousands of bayonets reflected the white light shining towards the light. The Japanese soldiers on the hillside were constantly blown away by shells and hit by bullets. This attack was completely a massacre.

"stupid!"

Chen Feng next to Duan Qirui said in an extremely subtle voice on his lips, and then continued to watch the war ahead. This was the best time to investigate the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. For this reason, the staff sent up to 30 observers. Like Chen Feng, the vast majority of people have only one comment on the way they attacked the Lushun fortress. The price.

"stupid!"

However, this evaluation is only hidden in their hearts. They don't mind that they shed all their blood in Lushun. For China, the best outcome of this war is to lose both sides. Only in this way can we guarantee China's interests, and only the fortress of Lushun can make the Japanese army bleed.

Chen Feng, who was not interested in this brute force without any strategy, put down his telescope and turned his head to look at Duan Qirui.

"General Duan, when are you leaving? Is it this afternoon or tomorrow?

"Tomorrow! ...I copied the fort from the back of the day!"

The Xuqi suddenly appeared on the mountainside in the telescope, which made Duan Qirui and Chen Feng turn their attention to the fortress on the top of the mountain again.

The Japanese army shouted "Long live" from the insuring fort behind. What they rushed up the mountain carried out was the so-called "meat bomb" of the Japanese army. The hand-to-hand combat with flesh and blood as the cannonballs. The Russian army in the fort on the mountain also roared "Ula" without showing weakness. He killed the army, and the cruel white-edged battle was launched outside the fort, in Russia. At the moment of the army's counterattack, the Japanese army seemed to have been suppressed for dozens of meters. Thanks to the advantage of a coalition's "meat bomb", they pressed the Russian army back with a bayonet. At this time, the artillery of both sides had completely stopped shelling, and the struggle between the most primitive force and the knife and the knife staged on the "B" fort. The balance between will and will.

In the telescope, it can be clearly seen that a lieutenant colonel of the Russian army waving a saber in one hand and a pistol in the other hand, and killing left and right on the battlefield. At this time, even the artillerymen in the fort rushed out with a push turret and started a hand-to-hand fight with the Japanese army, which had the advantage of troops. At this time, the Japanese army, which was detouring from the right wing, was about to attack the fort. This scene made observers all over the country sigh for Russia. Maybe the "B" fort will fall today. These days, they have been used to the blood and bravery of the East.

"Maybe the military can..."

The words of the British observer Major Kurt did not fall, and suddenly sounded on the mountain. The cannon was fired from the fort. When the day was about to attack the fort, the gunners left in the fort bombarded several cannons one after another with shotguns to the front that was tearing. At the moment of the gunfire, the originally fierce battlefield gushed out. The blood fog was torn to pieces by shot bombs, not only the Japanese army, but also the Russian army.

A series of cannons roared into a shotgun to repel the Japanese army, but Kurt and others opened their eyes wide at this moment, muttering their lips and unable to speak for a long time.

"The bravery of the Russian army is the only one!"

Duan Qirui couldn't help sighing that it can be clearly seen from the telescope that the Russian soldiers from the beginning planned to lead the dominant Japanese army from the dead corner of firepower to the area with dense firepower. The gunners can use shotguns to hit these Japanese soldiers who threaten the forts, and they will also seriously hit those who rushed out of the fort. Russian soldiers engaged in a hand-to-hand combat.

Chen Feng nodded. In the past half month, he has raised the Russians several levels in his heart. As those foreigners said, Russia has the best soldiers in the world. I'm afraid the only regret is those officers.

When the Japanese army, which was heavily hit by the concentrated attack of shrapnel, retreated to the vicinity of the city wall, the Russian infantry that arrived in time cut off their retreat there. They came up from the two wings and tried to annihilate the Japanese army. Under the wall, they launched a white-handed battle between people. Thousands of Russian troops in white military uniforms and Japanese soldiers in Tibetan navy uniforms. White and navy blue are completely mixed together. Whether it is the Japanese artillery or the Russian artillery, they no longer fire on this battlefield. In terms of the Russian army, a batch of new troops came one after another, and soon the navy blue figure was swallowed by the white figure. When the navy blue figure was swallowed up, the war was once again bombed. It was the shelling of the Japanese army.

"Oh!"

When the Japanese army's shelling stopped again, Duan Qirui couldn't help sighing and looked at the blue-faced Beijo River, with some sympathy on his face. Now Lushunkou is a meat grinder that devours life. If they continue to fight like this, Lushunkou can only be stained red by the blood of the Japanese army.

"Gentlemen, today we have once again witnessed the bravery of the Japanese army..."

The words of Lieutenant Colonel Charles King of the United States only let Chen Feng and Duan Qirui look at each other. Every time it is like this. This is a praise of the Japanese army. It is clearly encouraging the Japanese army to continue their "meat eggs", continue their martial arts, and continue to bleed here. It is said that if my blood is dry, it will not threaten the Philippines of the United States. Maybe that's what Lieutenant Colonel Chalkin thinks.

The impact that began in the morning ended in the near noon, and the battlefield fell into calm again. In the hot summer air of Lushun, there were only occasional scattered gunfire. The barracks were full of screams of the wounded soldiers, but more people were resting in the shelter or bunker. Maybe they still need to launch it after night. An attack.

"If you want to maximize the benefits from the war between the two countries, you should participate in it!"

When working for Duan Qirui, Chen Feng took out a letter.

"This is my letter to the commander-in-chief. I hope General Duan can transfer it to the commander-in-chief on his behalf. The general needs to know that the time is not waiting for me now. I hope that after the general returns to Nanjing, he can persuade the staff to make a corresponding plan and participate in this war! It is said that the ambition of the wolf, if China does not participate in it, it only expects to return the rights and interests of the northeast after the war, almost like a dream, only to use..."

"I understand!"

Duan Qirui nodded from outside the house and motioned him not to continue talking. There are many people here. Not every country is willing to involve China in this war. For some countries, they prefer that China can remain neutral.

"Have a good trip!"
