Chapter 167 Fearless And Fearless (Second Update, Please Subscribe!)
The third army of the Eastern Army attacked Lushun Fortress very violently. The casualties are naturally very tragic.
The soldiers of the Eastern Army almost never retreated, even if they were massacred by the intensive firepower of the Russian army, they were still marching forward bravely.
This attack method of the Orientals shocked the Russian soldiers. However, even so, it did not affect the Russian soldiers to shoot and kill these Orientals with mortars, heavy machine guns, light machine guns and rifles.
"Heavy machine gun, where is our heavy machine gun?"
"Fire, fire now, suppress the Russians!"
A young lieutenant commanded loudly.
He is officially the eldest son of General Nogi Noki, and the big brother of Nogi Yasunori, who has been beaten into a honeycomb. However, Lieutenant Yasunori Nogi served in the 1st Infantry Regiment. At present, he is already the captain of the lieutenant squadron.
If it goes well, maybe two or three years later, he will be able to be promoted to captain.
With the father of a god king army general, his official career will undoubtedly be very smooth. However, because of this war, everything has changed.
"Da da da!"
The two Maxim heavy machine guns of the Eastern Army fired violently, and the dense bullets shot towards the Russian defense line.
The bullets killed several Russian soldiers, making the Russian soldiers in this section of the position unable to lift their heads.
And many Japanese soldiers took this opportunity to play center forward.
However, two 80mm mortars have already discovered the situation here.
"Boom boom boom!"
Two 80mm mortars, after adjusting the parameters, immediately began to shoot rapidly.
Several mortar shells exploded around the firepower of the Japanese machine guns.
In the violent explosion, the two Maxim heavy machine guns were directly blown into parts. At the same time, the machine gunner was completely blown to pieces. Lieutenant Masanori Nogi, who personally commanded the two heavy machine guns, could not escape.
A mortar shell exploded right beside him. His body was directly blown into two pieces, and his intestines flowed out.
The offensives of the 1st Infantry Division and the 7th Infantry Division of the Eastern Army were very fierce, but the losses they caused to the Russian army were quite limited. Moreover, under the powerful firepower of the Russian army, the two infantry divisions also suffered great losses. A large number of Dongyang soldiers fell on the battlefield.
General Nogi Nozomi stayed behind, watching the attack of the Japanese soldiers with binoculars.
Although, their losses are great. However, the courage shown by the troops made him very satisfied. He believes that as long as the Eastern Army maintains such an offensive force, it will launch an offensive regardless of losses. It won't take much time to break through the Russian army's defense line, break into Lushun Fortress, and occupy it.
"Yoxi! The soldiers have performed very well. They are worthy of being the warriors of the empire. Order the 1st Infantry Division and the 7th Infantry Division to stop attacking, and let the infantry regiments withdraw. Replace the cavalry regiments, and the engineer regiments. Continue to attack and maintain the pressure on the Russian defense line~`!" General Nogi Noki ordered.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" Major General Iida Shunsuke replied.
Then, the order to retreat sounded. The fanaticism on the faces of those Japanese soldiers seemed to have gradually disappeared.
However, in this round of attack alone, the 8 infantry regiments of the Eastern 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 against such a fearless enemy, even if they have an absolute advantage in firepower. But also under a lot of pressure.
Now that the Dongyang people's attack has stopped, they can finally take a good rest.
Those damaged weapons can finally be repaired or replaced.
But soon, their ideas fell through. Because the Japanese attack did not stop for a long time, it started again.
The 1st Regiment of Cavalry, 1st Regiment of Engineers and 1st Regiment of Supplies, as well as the 7th Regiment of Cavalry, 7th Regiment of Engineers and 7th Regiment of Supplies of the Eastern Army joined the attack again.
Although these troops are only second-line combat troops. However, this moment is also very brave. Even, those artillerymen who lost their artillery also picked up their rifles and began to charge.
Moreover, when the cavalry regiment of the Orientals charged, they did not ride horses, but left their horses behind.
To launch an attack on the Russian fortress, the horses are useless. Even if it is invested in the charge, it will become the target of the intensive firepower of the Russians. In the Eastern Empire, war horses are very precious, even more precious than the lives of cavalrymen. Therefore, these cavalry directly dismounted and ran to charge, leaving the precious horses behind.
The Russian soldiers, regardless of rest, fired violently again.
The fierce battle began again.
* `々Come on! Kill all the Russians!'
"Onboard His Majesty Tianhuang! Onboard the Eastern Empire!"
A large number of Japanese soldiers, under the leadership of officers at all levels, once again launched a fierce attack on the defense line of the Tsarist Russian Army.
Although, these cavalry, engineers and supply troops are 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 army are different. Once on the battlefield, these oriental second-line soldiers can also unleash extremely powerful combat effectiveness. It's not even worse than the army at all.
More than 20,000 troops attacked Lushun Fortress again.
Countless Orientals charged against the fierce firepower of the Russian army until they were killed by shells or bullets.
"Boom boom boom! Da da da!"
(De Nuozhao) On the defense line of the Tsarist Russian Army, all kinds of weapons are firing fiercely.
Shells and bullets poured out like pouring rain, harvesting the lives of these Eastern soldiers.
"Da da da!"
A heavy machine gun was directly scrapped due to continuous shooting for a long time.
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 goes 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 actually made the soldiers of the Eastern Army almost approach the front of the position
However, as the Tsarist Russian Army continued to invest new troops and rotate front-line troops, the combat effectiveness of the Tsarist Russian Army remained abundant. This made the Dongyang Army's offensive still end in failure. Moreover, it also paid a great price. .
