The attack of the Third Army of the Eastern Army on the fortress of Lushun was very fierce. And the deaths and injuries were naturally very tragic.
These soldiers of the Eastern Army are almost all fighting to the death, even if they are slaughtered by the intensive firepower of the Russian army, they are also moving forward bravely.
This attack method of the Oriental people greatly shocked the soldiers of the Russian army. However, even this did not prevent Russian soldiers from shooting these Orientals with mortars, heavy machine guns and light machine guns and rifles.
“Heavy machine guns, what about our heavy machine guns?”
“Fire, fire immediately, suppress the fire of the Russians!”
A young lieutenant officer ordered loudly.
He is officially the eldest son of General Nogi Yoshinori, and the elder brother of Second Lieutenant Nogi Honorori, who has been beaten into a honeycomb. However, Lieutenant Honori Nogi served in the 1st Infantry Wing. At the moment, he is already a lieutenant squadron leader.
If it goes well, perhaps in two or three years, he will be able to be promoted to lieutenant.
There is a father of a god king army general, and his career will undoubtedly be very smooth. It’s just that because of this war, everything has changed.
“Tap-da-da!”
Two Maxim heavy machine guns of the Toyo Army opened heavy fire, and dense bullets fired towards the Russian defense line.
The bullets killed several Russian soldiers, making it impossible for the Russian soldiers in this section of the position to raise their heads.
And quite a few Oriental soldiers took this opportunity to charge.
However, two 80-mm mortars, the situation here has already been discovered.
“Knock knock!”
Two 80-mm mortars, after adjusting the parameters, immediately began to fire rapidly.
Several mortar shells exploded around the Oriental’s machine-gun fire point.
In the violent explosion, these two Maxim heavy machine guns were directly blown into a parts state. At the same time, the machine gunner was blown to pieces in its entirety. Lieutenant Nogi Seiden, who personally commanded these two heavy machine guns, naturally was not able to escape.
A mortar shell exploded right next to him. His body was directly blown in two, and his intestines flowed out.
The offensive of the 1st Infantry Division and the 7th Infantry Division of the Eastern Army was very fierce, but the losses they inflicted on the Russian army were quite limited. Moreover, under the powerful fire blows of the Russian army, these two infantry divisions also paid great losses. A large number of Oriental soldiers fell on the battlefield.
General Nogi stayed in the rear, watching the attack of the Toyo soldiers with binoculars.
Although, their losses are significant. However, this courage shown by the troops made him very satisfied. He believed that as long as the Eastern Army maintained such an offensive intensity, it would always launch an offensive regardless of losses. It will not take much time to break through the Russian defenses, storm the Lushun fortress, and occupy here.
“Yo West! The soldiers performed very well, worthy of being the warriors of the empire. The 1st Infantry Division and the 7th Infantry Division were ordered to stop the offensive and allow the various infantry wings to withdraw. Replace the cavalry wings, engineering wings and heavy army wings, continue the offensive, maintain the pressure on the Russian defense line .~! Senior General Nogi Yoshinori ordered.
“Hi, Your Excellency Commander!” Major General Shunsuke Iida replied.
Then the order to retreat sounded. The fanaticism on the faces of those Oriental soldiers seemed to have gradually disappeared.
However, in this round of offensive alone, the eight infantry wings of the Toyo Army paid a price of more than 8,000 casualties. Many infantry brigades were even directly disabled.
This also made the soldiers of the Russian army breathe a sigh of relief.
Fight such a fierce enemy, even if they have absolute superiority in firepower. But there is also a lot of pressure.
Now that the Oriental offensive has stopped, they can finally take a good rest.
Those damaged weapons can finally be repaired or replaced.
But soon, their idea fell through. Because the Oriental attack did not stop for long, it began again.
The 1st Cavalry Wing, the 1st Engineer Wing, and the 1st Heavy Infantry Wing of the Toyo Army, as well as the 7th Cavalry Wing, the 7th Engineer Wing, and the 7th Wing of the Heavy Army, were once again engaged in the attack.
These units, although only second-line combat units. However, this moment also showed great bravery. Even those artillerymen, who had lost their artillery, took up their rifles and began to charge.
Moreover, when the cavalry wing of the Orientals charged, they did not ride horses, but left their war horses in the rear.
Launch an attack on the fortresses of the Russian army, the war horse will not be useful. Even if it is thrown into the charge, it will become the target of the intensive fire of the Russians. In the Eastern Empire, war horses were very valuable, more precious than the lives of cavalrymen. Therefore, these cavalry directly dismounted and ran to charge, leaving the valuable war horses behind.
The Russian soldiers, ignoring the rest, opened heavy fire again. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
The fierce battle began again.
“Rush! Kill all the Russians! ”
“Your Majesty Tianhuang is onboard! Toyo Empire onboard! ”
A large number of Oriental soldiers, once again led by officers at all levels, launched a fierce attack on the defensive line of the Russian army.
Although, these cavalry, engineers, and heavy soldiers were only second-line troops in the Eastern Army. However, their usual training is no less than that of infantry. It’s just that the specific tasks in the troops are different. Once on the battlefield, these second-line soldiers in the East can also burst into extremely powerful combat effectiveness. Even, not worse than the army at all.
More than 20,000 troops once again launched an attack on the Lushun fortress.
Countless Orientals faced the fierce fire of the Russian army until they were killed by shells or killed by bullets.
“Knock knock! Tap-Tap! ”
On the defensive line of the Russian army, all kinds of weapons were firing fiercely.
Cannonballs and bullets poured out like pouring rain, harvesting the life quality of these Eastern soldiers.
“Tap-da-da!”
A heavy machine gun was directly scrapped because of a long period of continuous firing.
The deputy shooter immediately wore asbestos gloves, removed the scrapped barrel, and then replaced it with a new barrel to ensure that the machine gun could continue to fire.
The same is true for other light machine guns.
Perhaps because of this, the continuity of the firepower of the Russian army has been affected, and it is no longer so continuous. This made the soldiers of the Eastern Army almost approach the front of the position.
However, with the continuous investment of the Russian army and the rotation of front-line troops, the combat effectiveness of the Russian army has also remained sufficient. This made the attack of the Eastern Army still end in failure. And, at a great price.
