General Notsumi Notsumi was woken up from his sleep, and the first clear sentence he heard was: "Your Excellency Commander, we were attacked by the enemy."

The general immediately felt excited and woke up from his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw his lieutenant Heijiro Ono's frightened and suffocated face, and at the same time he heard the sound of "booming" shelling. Nozu Nozu sat up from the bed and said, "What are you panic? The overseas Chinese army launched an attack on that position."

Notsushi Daogui was not pretending to be calm, because he knew that the joint fleet had planned to intercept the Russian fleet in the Tsushima Strait, and it was about these few days. Therefore, if overseas Chinese wanted to intervene in this war, it would be certain that in these days, Notsushi Daogui was ordered to organize the Liaodong defense line for more than three months. Not only did he make sufficient preparations, but he also formulated several plans for emergency moments. It was precisely with these preparations that Notsushi Daogui was not panicked. As long as he understood the direction of the enemy's attack, he could follow the plan and execute it step by step.

However, Heijiro Ono's answer was: "It was our Zhengjiatun position that was bombarded."

Notsugi was wearing clothes. After hearing this, he couldn't help but be stunned and immediately said, "The Zhengjiatun position...how could it be the Zhengjiatun position?"

Due to insufficient troops and the large number of rivers in the Liaohe River system, the Japanese army adopted a loose front and tight back to deploy troops. In the defense section of the middle section of Liao, the Japanese army set up front positions in Sanjiafen, Taojia Village, Kabei Village, Houzheng Tubao, Majiafang Village, and Daju Village on the Liaohe River, about 1,000 kilometers away from the Liaohe River, and each position has a battalion of troops stationed, with the goal of monitoring the movements of the People's Army; and in Liujiagang Village, south of Liaozhong County, relying on the Hala River, a second line of defense was set up, about 10 kilometers away from the Liaohe River. The main forces of the Japanese army were stationed on this position. Once the People's Army launched an attack on the Liaohe River defense line, the main force of the Japanese army arranged on the second line immediately rushed to the front line to support the garrison.

The advantage of distributing troops in this way is that it can flexibly use limited troops instead of fixing them on the frontier positions to become dead chess. At the same time, it can also avoid artillery strikes on the frontier positions before the People's Army launches an attack, causing casualties. Moreover, if the frontier positions are lost, they can retreat to the second line of defense to continue to garrison and maintain the front line. However, Nozu Dotaka did not expect that the opponent actually crossed the frontier positions and directly bombarded his second line of defense.

But his second line of defense is about 10 kilometers away from the Liaohe River, which is almost the limit of the range of the army's artillery in this era. Did the People's Army place artillery by the Liaohe River? If that's true, the People's Army's artillery positions will be exposed, and he can take the opportunity to attack the People's Army's artillery troops. If he can really knock out the People's Army's artillery troops, then it is worth it even if his second line of defense is bombarded. But will overseas Chinese be so stupid?

Thinking of this, Notsu Doki immediately became energetic again, hurriedly put on his clothes, and came to the command center. At this time, the other officers and staff of the 4th Legion had all been in place, and the telegraph machine in the next telegraph room was also filled with people. The "beep beep beep beep beep" sounded constantly, and people came from time to time to hand over the telegrams they received.

Notsu Doki sat in his position and said, "How is the current situation of Zhengjiatun position?"

A adviser said: "We have lost contact with the Zhengjiatun position. It is estimated that there must be a problem with the telegraph or antenna. The last message we received was that the enemy was suspected of using large-caliber artillery, and the losses of the position were very heavy. We have sent people to the Zhengjiatun position to check it."

Notsugi frowned. Although the army rarely uses large-caliber artillery, it is not completely missing. The Japanese army used 280mm caliber artillery to conquer Lushun, and of course the diameter is only 15 times, so the range is only more than 10 kilometers. The Japanese army had to abandon the tragic price to capture the 203 Highlands, and then spent all their efforts to move the giant cannon to the highlands in order to launch a strike against Lushun.

However, the movement of the giant cannon is very difficult, and it must be disassembled and transported to the position and then assembled. Therefore, the movement is quite large, and why did our scouts not find any clues? However, it is not the time to hold the scouts responsible, so he said: "Immediately find out the artillery positions of overseas Chinese and order our artillery to prepare."

Another adviser said: "We have contacted six frontier positions and have not found overseas Chinese artillery positions along the Liao River. Judging from the sound of artillery, it is at least 7 or 8 kilometers away from the Liao River."

Notsu Doki was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said, "This is impossible? The artillery of overseas Chinese cannot be so far away? Unless they bring the naval naval guns ashore."

At this moment, a telegrapher came in and handed a telegram to a staff officer. When the staff officer saw it, his face immediately became terrible and said, "Hisser Commander, our artillery position in the old room was bombarded by the enemy."

Notsu Doki couldn't help but be surprised again. The artillery position of Lao Fangsen was set up as a supporting artillery position of Kabei Village and the two frontier positions of Houzheng Tubao, which was about 6 kilometers away from the Liaohe River. This is also a relatively safe distance and is well hidden. His own firepower can basically cover Kabei Village. The Liaohe waters in the two areas of Houzheng Tubao, unexpectedly, this artillery position was also bombarded by the enemy. It is difficult for overseas Chinese to really move the navy's naval guns to the land.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At this time, the position of the Japanese army's Zhengjiatun was in a mess, and there were fire everywhere, and almost all the tents were destroyed.

It turned out that after the first train shell hit, two train cannons fired in turn, and two self-propelled cannons also fired at the Zhengjiatun position. Although there were only 4 cannons, they were all large-caliber artillery, which was amazingly powerful. The explosion of a 200-mm shell can cover the range of most of the football field, while the 240-mm shell is even more powerful. Within 30-50 meters around the shell explosion, people will be shaken to death or shaken to internal injuries.

In fact, the positions set up by the Japanese army have also considered the attack of defensive artillery, but they are to lay a few logs on the top of the trench and cover them with some sand bags. Such defenses have a considerable effect on small and medium-caliber artillery shells, but the defense power of large-caliber artillery shells such as 200 mm and 240 mm is greatly reduced. Such fortifications can be destroyed by one shot. Therefore, as the shells fall one by one, although there are not many explosions in the entire position, each explosion will cause huge damage to the position.

The entire shelling sequence was not long, and only about 18 minutes were carried out in total. Two train guns fired 16 times, while two self-propelled guns fired 27 times, shooting a total of more than 80 shells into the positions. Most of the positions were cleaned by shells, which also caused an explosion in the two corpses and ammunition depots, and the Japanese army suffered countless casualties.

After the shelling was over, the self-propelled artillery immediately turned to the next artillery position, while the train cannon revised the shooting unit and fired at the next target. The drone sent the position image after the shelling back to the command center. Qiu Yahui and others were quite satisfied with the result of the shelling. Deputy Commander Wang Jianping said: "It was a good fight. This position was destroyed. The train cannon and self-propelled artillery are indeed powerful."

Liu Jun said: "Old Wang probably won't blame the command center and the Military Commission for the bias towards the Marine Corps now."

Wang Jianping was also a little embarrassed, touched the back of his head and said, "I really didn't expect that these modified weapons would have such great power."

Qiu Yahui said: "This is the advantage of being one step ahead. Although our weapons are modified, the basis for modification is the technology of old time and space, and there are drones for guidance. Therefore, in total, it is probably one to two generations ahead of Japan. Such a big gap can fully support us to win this battle."

At this time, Liu Jun said: "Our first round of strikes has been successful. Should we let the car towing gun group open fire? Strike while the iron is hot and take down the Japanese position in one breath."

Qiu Yahui nodded and said, "I inform the car towing gun group that you can open fire."

The target of the 155mm caliber vehicle towing * artillery regiment was the Japanese artillery position set up in Lao Fangsen. Although the Japanese army had a good cover for Lao Fangsen artillery position, there was no way to hide under the aerial reconnaissance of drones. After all, from the perspective of aerial reconnaissance, peaceful reconnaissance is different from the perspective of aerial reconnaissance. The Japanese army did not cover the artillery positions set up by the Japanese army. Therefore, the drone reconnaissance was very clear and provided accurate firing parameters for the People's Army's artillery attacks.

The Zhengjiatun position of the Japanese army was to cut off the support of the Japanese army to the frontier positions, while the artillery position of the Japanese army was to destroy the Japanese army's attacking ability of the attacking troops across the river. Otherwise, there would inevitably be major casualties when the People's Army crossed the river and attacked. Only after these two parts were destroyed can the safety and success of the attacking troops across the river be ensured.

At this time, the 155mm caliber car traction artillery regiment had already been prepared, and all the firing units of the artillery were set up, waiting for fire. Therefore, after receiving the command from the command, a round of calibration was immediately carried out to determine the accuracy of the shooting results. All 18 fires immediately launched violent continuous artillery bombardment.
