Chapter 164 Siege Of Lushun Fortress (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe!)
The Eastern Empire mobilized frantically, preparing to invest more troops on the battlefield in a short period of time, and fight to the end with the Tsarist Empire. Through a large-scale increase in troops to defeat the Tsarist Empire in one fell swoop and win the war.
And the Tsarist Russian Empire also showed no sign of weakness, and began to deploy troops from Europe to reinforce the Far East battlefield. And, let the rest of the European troops be ready, and if necessary, immediately take the train to the Far East battlefield.
After all, five of the seven armies of the Tsarist Russian Empire Army are deployed in Europe. Even if ten infantry divisions are deployed to reinforce the Far East, there are still forty infantry divisions left.
Although the situation in Europe is tense, but there is no possibility of war breaking out in a short period of time, even if the Tsarist Russian Empire only leaves 20 or 30 infantry divisions in Europe, there is no problem at all.
What's more, the mobilization system of the Tsarist Russian Empire has been very complete over the years. Mobilization can be carried out immediately if necessary.
It's just that mobilizing a large number of troops requires a lot of money. Under the circumstances that the Orientals could be defeated without mobilization, Mikhail avoided large-scale mobilization as much as possible.
Unless, the situation in Europe changes dramatically and war is about to break out. In that case, the Tsarist Russian Empire may have to mobilize.
Otherwise, only the Eastern Empire would not be able to mobilize the Russian Empire on a large scale. The strength of the Orientals is still a little weaker. In other words, the Tsarist Russian Empire in this time and space is much stronger than the other time and space.
Liaodong Peninsula, Yinlian.
All the units under the Third Army of the Eastern Empire Army have arrived.
As a main force of the Eastern Army, the Third Army has many elite units under its jurisdiction, including the 1st Infantry Division, the 7th Infantry Division, the 9th Infantry Division and the 11th Infantry Division
And the 1st Cavalry Brigade also Field Heavy Artillery - 1st Brigade.
The reason why the Dongyang Army has assembled so many elite troops in the Third Army has only one purpose, and that is to hope that the Third Army can play an extremely important role on the battlefield, that is, to take down Lushun Fortress in the shortest possible time and let Dongyang The imperial navy was able to command sea power. In other words, it will allow the Oriental Empire Navy to gain a greater advantage in the next decisive battle at sea.
The commander of the Third Army Command of the Eastern Army, General Nogi Nozomi, summoned a group of high-level generals to mobilize before the war.
Major General Toshisuke Iida, Chief of Staff of the Third Army, Lieutenant General Fushimiya Prince Sadae, Commander of the 1st Infantry Division, Lt. Lieutenant General Ka, Lieutenant General Shigeo Samejima, commander of the 11th Infantry Division, and the brigade commanders of the infantry brigades, cavalry brigades, and artillery brigades under their jurisdiction all gathered here.
"My lords, the war between the empire and the Russians has entered the most critical moment. The first army, the second army and the fourth army have failed His Majesty Tianhuang's trust in the war. Not only did they fail to defeat the Russians, On the contrary, they suffered heavy losses, and it was like disgrace to the Imperial Army. Our third army must never be like them. The glory of the Imperial Army needs us to restore!" General Nogi Xidian looked heartbroken, It seems that they are very dissatisfied with the performance of several armies.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" All the generals answered one after another.
"The task of our third army is very simple. It is to capture the fortress of Lushun, which is supported by the first fortress in the Far East. The main force of the Russian navy has already set off from the mainland, and is preparing for a decisive battle with the imperial navy. However, before the decisive battle, They will definitely let the navy enter the Lushun military port for rest and maintenance for the warships. Once the Russians achieve this goal, then their navy will have a great advantage. The imperial navy wants to defeat the Russian navy , is undoubtedly more difficult.
The victory or defeat of the navy is crucial in the next battle, not only related to the victory or defeat of the empire in this war, but also to the safety of the empire itself.
His Majesty Tianhuang has issued a strict order, requiring us to take Lushun Fortress in the shortest possible time, absolutely not allowing the Russian navy to use it to restore its strength. No matter how much you pay, you will not hesitate!"
General Nogi Nozomi had a serious face.
General Nogi Noki was extremely loyal to Mingzhi Tianhuang. In another time and space, after Mingzhi Tianhuang passed away, General Nogi Noki, together with his wife, died for Mingzhi Tianhuang. He was a loyal minister!

Now on the battlefield, General Nogi Xidian also showed incomparable loyalty. Now that Mingzhi Tianhuang had given the order, he would naturally complete it without compromise. Even if you die on the battlefield, you must ensure the completion of the mission.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" All the generals answered one after another.
"Gentlemen, I admit that the Russians are very strong. However, the strength of the Russians is mainly reflected in their weapons and equipment, especially their firepower. In terms of soldiers' fighting will and fighting literacy, they cannot compare with us at all. Although, There is a certain gap between our firepower and the Russians. But I believe that the bushido spirit of our soldiers is enough to make up for the gap in firepower. I believe that the bravery of our soldiers is enough to shock the Russians , It’s enough to make them terrified. Let the Russians see how powerful the Imperial Army will be!” General Nogi Nozomi is confident in the combat effectiveness of the Eastern Empire Army.

He believes that the reason why the First Army, Second Army, and Fourth Army fought this battle like this is entirely because they did not bring out the bravery of the Japanese soldiers. Otherwise, they might have won the battle long ago.
"Tomorrow morning, the attack will officially begin. The 1st Infantry Division and the 7th Infantry Division will launch an attack on Lushun Fortress from the north and the south. Regardless of losses and costs, we must take down Lushun Fortress. Even the entire division If the regiments are all gone, I will not hesitate!" General Nogi Nozomi ordered.
"Hi, Your Excellency Tong Lingmian!" Lieutenant General Prince Fushimi Gong Zhenai and Lieutenant General Dazao Shangmin replied one after another.
"Yoxi, it's up to you next." Lieutenant General Nogi Xidian nodded in satisfaction.
In this war, the most tragic battle broke out.
The Eastern Army, the Tsarist Russian Army and the Tsarist Russian Marine Corps will have a brutal bloody battle at Lushun Fortress.
Of course, the most important casualties came from the Eastern Army. They paid a huge price for conquering Lushun Fortress. But unfortunately, in the end, it still failed
