    "Otherwise, I don't see it that way. Port Arthur Fortress has been the focus of our empire-building efforts for many years, and it definitely cannot be captured by the Chinese army in a day or two!"

    "China's First Army Yijing has begun to clear out the front lines outside our city. I, the Warrior of the Japanese Empire, Yijing, are ready to smash the jade into pieces. We will call the Chinese people to know. The empire cannot be humiliated!"

    "Baga We need to completely abandon the front outside the city, shrink into the Lushun Fortress, rely on the Lushun Fortress to hold on, and wait for domestic support." "Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!. The Chinese army is gaining momentum, and the number of people  It is ten times larger than our empire. Only by relying on the strong city fortress can we hold on"

    "How to defend? We can rely on the strong city fortress to block the siege of the Chinese army, but what about the sky We have lost the sky. How many more days can we hold on under the attack of the Chinese air power?"

    "Reinforcementswhere are our reinforcements"

    In the war room, there was a panic at this time, and the staff officers were all red-faced, and while they were arguing, bad news kept coming one after another.

    "Shime? The Chinese 107th Division captured Highland 226, and all the warriors of the two squadrons of the 112th Brigade were shattered?"

    "The Chinese army's planes dropped another batch of poison gas bombs into the city? The location was Shimew¨¨izhi? Shime, less than a mile away from the Nancheng Military Field? Baga Yelu, quickly, quickly, evacuate all the wounded soldiers from the Nancheng Military Camp immediately?"

    Jinzaburo Masaki, chief of staff of the Kanto Prefecture garrison, sat there slumped, looking blankly at his subordinates dealing with endless frontline matters.  The entire headquarters was in chaos. A young man like him who had been on the battlefield a few times couldn't believe that during the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1895, two regiments once defeated the enemy.  The Qing army was defeated several times in size. What happened to the invincible Imperial Japanese Army?

    This, this panic should never be what the empire¡¯s army should have!

    On the battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula, the empire stationed two divisions with more than 40,000 troops. Originally, according to his calculations, they should have easily captured Liaoning Province with the cooperation of the Manchurian Railway after the conflict with the Chinese, and then cooperated with North Korea  On the peninsula, the main force of the fourteen divisions mobilized by the Imperial Army launched an attack on the Chinese army from two directions.  With Jinzaburo Masaki's arrogance, he always believed that the Chinese were simply not able to resist the powerful Japanese army.

    But who would have expected that in just a few days, the initiative on the battlefield would change hands!  The Chinese sneak attack caught them off guard. The planned garrison in Guandong Prefecture was originally scheduled to provoke trouble, and then the Manchurian Railway garrison's cooperation with the Chinese Northeast Military Region in the sneak attack was completely ruined. The situation in the Liaodong Peninsula was so dangerous that it was about to collapse!

    During the previous shiji¨¡n dispute, Masaki Jinzaburo received the tacit approval of the domestic military department, aggressively recruited young officers in the Kanto Prefecture garrison, and seized control of the Kanto Prefecture garrison from Oshima Yoshimasa.

    After the war began, especially in the days after the fall of Dalian, Masaki Jinzaburo sent telegrams to the country almost every day, requesting reinforcements.

    He can no longer care about maintaining the pride of the Imperial Army!  Because the most realistic scene before him now is that the Chinese people concentrated their forces on the Liaodong Peninsula and defeated them. They lost the protection of the sky and were exposed to the Chinese people. The imperial army worked very hard, but  , they were not fighting on a horizontal line from the beginning, and on the battlefield in Liaodong, the Chinese concentrated thousands of artillery and troops several times their size, and even used poison gas bombs and incendiary bombs.  It was very difficult for them to hold a fortress like Lushun.

    Oshima Yoshimasa was also in the headquarters. Although he still tried his best to maintain a calm attitude at this time, his hands would tremble slightly every time a call reporting military information came in.

    For the current defeat of the Japanese army in Kanto Prefecture, Oshima Yoshimasa is very self-blame.  At first, when Masaki Jinzaburo, with the support of the new Prime Minister Tanaka Giichi, launched a power seizure that caused him to lose control of the Kanto Prefecture garrison, although he originally complained about the excessiveness of the military's young faction, he did not want to stay out of the matter and break away from the Kanto Prefecture.  Meaning of powder keg.  Who would have expected that the war would come so quickly? The Chinese were so well prepared that even if meiyou Jinzaburo Masaki and Giichi Tanaka were provocative, this war would probably be a sleepless one!

    Oshima Yoshimasa thought uneasily that this battle was very similar to the "Sun-Dew War" they launched against the Dew Country.

    There was a rush of footsteps, and a staff officer was seen running into the headquarters. He was holding a telegraph newspaper in his hand, and the expression on his face was very complicated. Just as Oshima Yoshimasa was about to ask, he saw Masaki Jinzaburo.  After walking fast for a while, I didn't forget to ask: "Where did the telegram come from?"

    After finishing speaking, without waiting for the staff officer to reply, he just followedHe grabbed the telegraph newspaper in his hand and read it.

    "Report, telegram from the military department."

    The staff officer replied loudly, but the expression on his face was mixed.

    Although Oshima Yoshimasa has now lost control of the military power in the Liaodong Peninsula, he is still a qualified Japanese general. When he heard that the latest telegram had been sent from the country, he ignored the conflict with Jinzaburo Masaki and came over to think about it.  We need to see what is written on the telegram!

    There was obviously a lot of content in the telegram. Jinzaburo Masaki quickly read it with a gloomy and uncertain expression on his face.  Seeing Yijing Oshima Yoshimasa standing next to Ziji, Jinzaburo Masaki didn't want to be with him, but then he thought that he was the nominal highest military commander of Kanto State, so he handed him the telegraph newspaper.

    Oshima Yoshimasa saw the gloomy ups and downs on his face, and was a little curious about what was written on the telegraph newspaper.  Now as soon as he handed it over, he immediately took it and glanced at it, his gray brows suddenly frowned.

    After a long time, he silently folded up the telegram, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Please cheer up, gentlemen, the telegrams from the country and the military have finally arrived, and the empire's reinforcements are finally coming."

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Although he took advantage of the current favor to gain the favor of Prime Minister Tanaka Giichi and seized the military control of Kanto State from him, the difference between him and him is not two points.

    The news in the telegram was not entirely good, which was why several people who had read the telegram had a look of surprise on their faces.  But Oshima Yoshimasa knew that the Japanese army needed to boost morale, so even if it was not good news, they needed to make it sound like good news.

    "We received a call from the Military Department. Our domestic reinforcements have been dispatched. Four additional reinforcements have been dispatched to the Korean Peninsula, totaling four divisions. Two more divisions will be transferred to the Korean Peninsula in the next half of the month. We must ensure that China will be completely conquered within one month.  The invading army is repelled, and the warriors of our empire will take the opportunity to invade Manchuria and Mongolia, burn the war into China, and force China to surrender. At the same time, the imperial navy has arrived at the Yellow Sea, which is less than a thousand nautical miles away from our headquarters.  In order to maintain the maritime logistics line, the warriors of our empire will launch a decisive battle with the weak China Navy in the near future, in order to wipe out China¡¯s maritime power in one battle. At present, the empire¡¯s navy is basically locked in the China Navy, and the military department hopes that we will  The garrison will wait cautiously for four to five days. When the sea calms down in a few days, it will be time for reinforcements from our empire to arrive and counterattack China!"

    His voice was not loud, but it was ups and downs, and his gray beard trembled, giving people a joyful expression.  Sure enough, his momentum immediately cheered up the Japanese officers present, and they started working hurriedly.  The noisy war room gradually became orderly.  Oshima Yoshimasa immediately called a staff officer out and ordered him to leave and send people to spread the good news to the defenders everywhere.

    Xiao Bing is easy to hide, but those things that come are easy to pass by.

    Oshima Yoshimasa walked to the corner, and Lieutenant General Kikuchi Shinnosuke hurriedly surrounded him and said to him and Masaki Jinzaburo: "The morale in the city is low, and the Chinese people are throwing poison gas bombs and incendiary bombs into our city without any reason for international regulations. On one side.  There are heavy Chinese troops looking around, and I'm worried that it will be difficult to hold on for a few more days just relying on the remaining troops in the city!"

    Xu Ziji's performance just now was not as good as Oshima Yoshimasa's. He took the opportunity to give orders, which irritated Jinzaburo Masaki. He said with a cold face: "General, please believe in the warriors of the empire. For His Majesty the Emperor, for our great Japanese Empire forever.  Great cause, all our officers and men in Guandong Prefecture are ready to be destroyed."

    Oshima Yoshimasa snorted. He wanted to refute the blind and arrogant Jinzaburo Masaki, but he still remembered Ziji's identity. Now that he has taken away the military power in his hand, Ziji, the governor of Kanto State, is in name only, which is extremely ridiculous.

    However, Jinzaburo Masaki's arrogance also made him very uncomfortable. He did not want to stay in the same room with him anymore, otherwise it would tarnish Ziji's reputation.

    After adjusting his military uniform, he said: "Let me go to the front line and take a look. According to the intelligence coming from outside the city, the Chinese people have captured Flood Bay. After taking the Sheep Head Mountain defense line, the Chinese people's siege artillery is coming in a steady stream.  They are concentrating on our Lushun Fortress. Do the math, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, or even today, we will face even more brutal artillery fire."

    Jinzaburo Masaki's face was cold. He wanted to scold him a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

    Lushun, which the Japanese have painstakingly built for more than ten years, has gradually replaced Vladivostok and become the number one fortress port in the Far East.  The Japanese concentrated more than 400 large and small caliber artillery pieces in this fortress, which was even more powerful than during the Russian occupation. According to the proud design of the Japanese military architect who originally planned this city, they only needed 10,000 defenders to defeat the enemy.  Relying on this fortress and complete material reserves, it was possible to withstand 200,000 Russians for eight months or more.?A year of onslaught.  However, no one could have imagined that their fortress had just been built and was already out of date.

    Because, another weapon in human history that will compete with artillery for the throne of the God of War, the aircraft, was born.

    Yes, the Lushun Fortress can indeed withstand strong enemy attacks from sea and land.  Born in the face of enemies from the sky, their defense power is zero and almost useless.

    Therefore, the Chinese bombers repeatedly passed through the strong permanent military defenses and dropped bombs directly on artillery positions, intensive bombing of military supplies storage areas in the city, and barracks and other buildings.

    The Japanese attach too much importance to the army and navy, so much so that they paid the heaviest price for their negligence when it came to new military technology aircraft. Not only is there a huge gap between them and the European and American powers, but even the rising star China is far behind.  In front of Japan.

    So, a fortress that was supposed to be strong and unassailable became a piece of cake on someone else¡¯s chopping board.

    "Yesbut for your safety, I still need to arrange a few guards for you."

    In the end, Masaki Jinzaburo got into trouble with Oshima Yoshimasa, but he called a few confidants to personally 'protect' his safety.  The young military forces seizing power in the Kanto Prefecture and the North Korean garrison had the tacit approval of Prime Minister Tanaka Giichi, but the bijing committed the unforgivable crime of "the following is the first."  Jinzaburo Masaki knew this well.

    Oshima Yoshimasa glanced at him coldly and replied indifferently: "Please!"

    After saying that, he coldly tidied up his military uniforms and prepared to go to the front line for inspection.

    He had just walked for half an hour when a shocking explosion came from somewhere on the front line.  Just a minute after the explosion, a crying phone call came with bad news, "Report, Dadingshan Fortress was bombarded by Chinese heavy artillery, the arsenal was detonated, the southwest defense line cannot be defended, please support!"

    The area from Dading Mountain to Anzi Mountain is one of the five permanent fortresses of Lushun. Once the southwest of Lushun is captured, there is no danger to defend it. If the Chinese attack from the southwest, Lushun will be trapped for three to five days. The only thing left for them is the last line of defense.  Human bombers bombed Port Arthur to pieces. In other words, maybe today, maybe tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the fall of Port Arthur is just around the corner.

    "shime"

    Jinzaburo Masaki's vision went dark and he fainted.
