Although there are complete positions and fortifications on the 203 Highlands, Bijing does not have a solid fortress, so the shelling of large-caliber artillery is indeed a great threat to the position. Moreover, Nogi Kidino soon observed that the strike on the 203 Highlands came from the sea, and he was not surprised, and his confidence in this battle could not help but shake.

When Japan entered Lushun, although the navy also participated in the war, for example, three port-blocking operations, it basically had no support for the army's battles, and the navy and army basically fought their own. This was not due to the conflict between the Japanese navy and army, which affected the combat level. Although the Japanese navy and army have always been inconsistent, at this time, the navy and army fight with each other and will not affect the overall situation. Moreover, when it is time to cooperate with each other, the navy and army will still cooperate with each other.

However, in the battle against Lushun, the navy did not want to provide firepower support to the army, but it was really impossible. The mountainous terrain in Lushun is not only a natural barrier on land, but also can block attacks from sea, because the landing point of the shells cannot be observed on warships, which makes it difficult for naval guns to exert their advantages of long range and great power. Therefore, the Japanese firepower mainly relies on the army's artillery, which is 20 280mm caliber mortars, which are the main firepower support for every day. However, the mortars are not only difficult to transport, but also have a range of only 9 kilometers, which is quite inconvenient to use.

Of course, Nogi Kidino is clear about these principles, but the People's Army can use naval guns for fire support, and it also hit the 203 Highlands very accurately. This shows that overseas Chinese have found a way to observe the landing points of shells, so that they can fully utilize the navy's firepower advantages, which is a huge asymmetric advantage for Japan.

At 6:30 am on the second day, the Ocean and Ouyang opened fire first and fired at the 203 Highland under the guidance of the drone. Although the drone is an auxiliary weapon and has no lethality, in fact, among the various weapons that cross, drones are the most important. In the past battles of the People's Army, drones have played a key role. They can not only be used for reconnaissance against the enemy, but also provide precise shooting parameters, so that the People's Army's artillery use far exceeds the level of this era and has an advantage on the battlefield.

After three rounds of calibration, the 12 280mm cannons on the two warships finally determined the firing unit, so the 12 cannons opened fire together and shot the shells at the 203 Highland. The sound of cannons rumbled on the sea surface, with a shocking momentum, as if Thunder God was coming.

The shells fell with a sharp whistling sound, making a shocking roar, and burst out huge energy of landslides and cracks. For a time, the earth was trembling on the 203 Highlands, and sand and gravel were flying, bunkers, wire mesh, artillery, etc. all collapsed in the explosion. Although the Japanese soldiers were hiding well, there were still heavy casualties. After all, the 280mm shell was too powerful and had too fierce lethality. Some soldiers were directly blown to pieces and their limbs were broken. Many soldiers were more than ten meters away from the landing point of the shell, but they were still shattered by the huge vibrations of the explosion, and they vomited blood and died; some soldiers were thrown up and fell down by the huge shock waves generated by the explosion; some soldiers were killed by the rocks that were blown away and solid.

The two warships took about 25 minutes to shell, and a total of 22 rounds were fired, with more than 260 shells fired. The shells fell on the 203 position were more than 200. The shells fell on the Japanese position were about 150, and almost washed the entire hill with shells.

The shelling had just stopped and the smoke had not completely dissipated. The two battalions of the 1st Marine Division, 1st Marines, launched an attack on the 203 Highland from the west and south.

The People's Army's attack was extremely smooth, and it was almost unhindered, and successfully attacked the 203 Highland. Of course, this was due to the artillery just now. After the artillery just now, most of the barbed wire, bunkers, artillery positions set up by the Japanese army on the positions were destroyed, and most of the defenders in the positions were injured and killed. Moreover, the People's Army's infantry and artillery cooperation was almost perfect. Almost as soon as the artillery stopped, the People's Army immediately attacked the highland. Before the remaining half of the Japanese soldiers came to their senses, the People's Army rushed to the position.

However, when the Japanese army never surrendered, they had to slap a few times before they died, so both sides launched hand-to-hand combat in the position. However, at this time, the forces and spirit of both sides were not on the same level. Therefore, even in the Japanese army's best-quality hand-to-hand combat was completely overwhelmed by the People's Army and could not resist the attack of the People's Army. In the short time, the remaining Japanese soldiers in the position were killed and poked out by the People's Army.

But at this moment, countless Japanese soldiers rushed up from the northeast of the 203 Highland, holding bayonet rifles, shouting "Banya", and rushing into the position.

It turned out that the shelling was discovered from the sea, and Nogi Haji knew that the 203 Highland could not be defended. If the giant fortress and two prisms on the 203 Highland were still there, they might be able to withstand a while, but relying on the current tunnels and trench construction is a fortification, it is impossible to withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery. However, Nogi Haji was experienced in many battles and immediately came up with a solution. After the shelling, the People's Army would definitely send troops to occupy the 203 Highland, and at that time he also sent troops to reinforce. If it was too late, he could enter the position to guard the position before the People's Army entered the position. If it was not good, he could take advantage of the position that had just occupied the position and had not yet reached a firm foothold, and then fight for the position. At this time, the two sides fought together, and the People's Army's advantage in firepower could not be exerted. He could only rely on the morale, quality and organizational ability of the soldiers to decide the victory or defeat.

So as soon as the People's Army's artillery stopped, Nogi Hinomi immediately sent two corpses to the 203 position to reinforce. However, what Nogi Hinomi did not expect was that the People's Army would be so rapid. When the reinforcements of the Japanese army arrived, the People's Army had basically occupied the position. Although the Japanese army still allowed the Japanese army to enter the position due to its unstable foothold, most of the positions were under the control of the People's Army, and the battlefields between the two sides were mainly concentrated in the northeast part of the position.

Of course, such a result is acceptable to the Japanese army. After all, the two sides are in close combat and conducting close-knit hand-to-hand combat. As long as they fight for the sting force, the Japanese army has never been afraid of anyone.

The two sides fought fiercely on the 203 high ground, with bayonets flashing and killing sounds shook the sky. The soldiers on both sides refused to give in and fought to the death. They all showed high morale and courage, and used bayonets, *, stones, and even teeth and hands to fight. They forced a hot war in the modern firearm era into a medieval cold weapon hand-to-hand combat.

To be honest, Luo Yue did not expect this battle to evolve into such a situation. At this point, the commanders of both sides had no good idea and could only rely on the soldiers who fought hard on the battlefield. The troops of both sides were roughly equal. Although the Japanese army was going to win in bayonets, the People's Army also had certain advantages in weapons and tactics, so it also killed an indistinguishable and evenly matched. Of course, due to the limited space on the 203 Highland, both sides could no longer increase their troops to the battlefield.

Luo Yue could only order the drone to lower the altitude and point the close-up camera at the 203 Highland so that he could watch the battle in the command center.

Before we knew it, the battle on the 203 Highlands had been going on for nearly an hour. Both sides suffered a large number of casualties, but they were still fighting to the death. Neither side retreated. Luo Yue is now a general who has experienced many battles, but when he saw such a war scene, he couldn't help but feel a little palpitations. It was indeed too tragic.

However, at this time, good news came. The Shengjia Dashan position was captured by the Marine Corps. In the Hugou Mountain, the People's Army had already captured the position and gained a huge advantage. Therefore, the entire battle situation began to spread to the People's Army. However, the two most important positions, Dading Mountain and 203, were in a stalemate. If these two positions cannot be taken down, then this battle would not be considered successful.

At this time, the staff officer Chen Yuantao reminded Luo Yue: "Commander, the Japanese army has sent reinforcements, so we will send the reserve team to the table."

Luo Yue then realized that he was too focused on the battlefield of the 203 Highlands and forgot to take the overall situation into consideration. Looking at the big screen, he saw a Japanese army approaching the 203 Highlands, about 1,000 meters away. It was too late to bombard the ship gun at this time.

Chen Yuantao said: "We still have a battalion reserve team, and it's time to send it out."

At this moment, Luo Yue's heart moved and said, "Contact Yi Xun to ask him to send the reserve team immediately, and also the machine gun and mortar troops, they will also be dispatched. They will set up machine gun and mortar positions in front of the formation, and shoot me if you have the chance."

Another staff officer Lu Qin hesitated for a moment and said, "Commander, are you a little anxious now to put the machine gun and mortar troops? And it's too dangerous?"

Luo Yue shook his head and said, "At this time, I can only take a risk, otherwise I will add fuel to it until dark. Moreover, the terrain here used to be complicated, and the distance between positions was too close, so there was no way to use naval guns to carry out accurate strikes. I just ordered Yi Xun."

Yi Xun is the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Marine Division and a time travel warrior. He has rich practical experience. After receiving Luo Yue's order, he immediately understood what Luo Yue meant, which was to risk arranging machine guns and mortar positions in front of the formation. Only in this way can he attack the Japanese reinforcements and cut off the Japanese reinforcements and have the chance to win the battle.
