Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

For the Japanese troops who entered Jin County, this small county town was really weird. Explosions could be seen everywhere, some of which were so small that they could only break a leg or an arm. This was exactly what happened to Fade Chen. In this way, the injured Japanese army not only lost their combat effectiveness, but also brought great difficulties to the Japanese army's medical treatment, and they would consume a lot of medical supplies.

Not only that, in this era without antibiotics, the mortality rate of sepsis caused by wound infection is almost [-]%, and those who are not injured see their injured companions die painfully in high fever, which is also a big impact on morale.

Masao Chuangu then ordered the troops to withdraw from the county seat. Nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers were injured or died in the county seat. Although the number was small, it affected morale very much. The Japanese army had no choice but to set up tents in the ice and snow. They were afraid of being attacked. spent the night.

The next day, the Japanese army arrived at the outskirts of Jinzhou and conducted reconnaissance on Zijing Mountain and Nanshan outside Jinzhou City. In fact, it was meaningless for them to do so, because Lin Yuan had already reconnaissance, and the tops of Zijing Mountain and Nanshan had no open land, so it was impossible to Artillery positions were set up here to shell the city of Jinzhou.

Masao Chuangu then ordered to camp outside Jinzhou, waiting for Nogi Noki's First Infantry Brigade.

Two days later, the [-]st Infantry Brigade joined forces with Masao Kawako, and Nogi Nozomi couldn't wait to hold a meeting and prepare to attack the city!

A map of Jinzhou was placed on the table. On that map, the locations of ammunition depots and granaries in Jinzhou City were accurately marked, and even the positions of the fortress guns were clearly marked.

Nogi Xidian said: "Let's take a look at the city wall of Jinzhou. It is about a semicircle, with Maoshan on the north, so it is impossible for us to attack from the north. We can choose to attack from the east, west and south. The perimeter of the city wall It is about [-] kilometers, and our number is about [-]. If we spread it to every point to attack the city, our strength is far from enough, so we must hit the strength and attack a little bit."

Nogi Xidian continued: "I have decided that we will attack from the east gate. From what we have known in advance, there are thirty large-caliber fortress guns in Jinzhou City, most of which are deployed at the south gate. The fortress guns of the Chinese people are all old-fashioned front The artillery is installed, and it is a fixed gun mount, and the pitch angle cannot be adjusted, so it is not a concern.”

Nogi Xidian also said: "Our offensive strategy is that the artillery of the No. 18 Artillery Regiment first blasts the city gate, and then the No. [-] Infantry Regiment first enters the city. Based on this, we will gradually attack westward, and after the outer wall is completely occupied, we will attack the inner wall."

Takashi Imazu, the captain of the First Artillery Wing, said: "Brigade Commander, I am afraid it is not a good time for us to attack the city. Our artillery has a caliber of only 70mm, and the width of Jinzhou's city wall is six or seven meters. Our artillery may not be able to attack the city." Breaking through the city wall, if you just blow up the city gate, the width of the city gate is less than three meters, and at most five soldiers can pass through at the same time. If the Qing army sets up a machine gun here, it will undoubtedly cause damage to our siege troops. Great damage."

Nogi Nozomi said, "Then what do you mean?"

Takashi Imatsu said: "We have dismantled the heavy artillery of the Qing army on the Lushun Fort, and it should be transported over in a few days. Then we will be able to attack the city with greater confidence!"

Nogi Xidian said with a smile: "As soon as our cannon fired, the Chinese slipped away with their tails between their legs. Is it still so troublesome!"

Imazu Takashi wanted to say something more, but Nogi Nozomi sneered and said, "If you don't even know how to obey, you're still a samurai!"

Imazu Takashi was immediately furious when Nogi Norishi said this, but Nogi Noki was the boss and had a higher military rank than himself, so he could only swallow his anger.

In the history that Lin Yuan is familiar with, Nogi Noki is called the "Military God". Of course, there is an element of flattery in it, but Nogi Noki's ability should not be underestimated. He deliberately refused to listen. On the one hand, he looked down on the Qing army at all, and more importantly, he already had a clever plan in his mind!Then I said it just to show Takashi Imazu who has always been at odds with him, and let him know who is the boss in this army!

It is said that people are the most exhausted around two o'clock in the morning. At this time, people don't want to do anything except sleep, and the Japanese like to choose this time to attack the city. Covered with a layer of horrible black veil.

The artillerymen of the Japanese army pushed the 70mm mountain cannon to the firing site - a small slope outside the east gate.At this time, even if someone who doesn't understand artillery at all looks at it, he will find it strange, because the angle of the muzzle of this artillery is indeed too high. With the slope of the soil, the muzzle of this gun is almost straight point to the sky!Then the muzzle flashed, the cannon roared, and a shell instantly pierced the peaceful night sky.

The shell flew towards the sky. The strange thing was that it did not fly to the top of Jinzhou City, but threw a parachute in mid-air. For a moment, the night sky was illuminated by dazzling white light.

It turned out to be an illumination bomb. When the shell was in the air, the propellant contained in it was ignited. The so-called propellant was actually a small dose of explosives. The lighting torch below is filled with a certain amount of magnesium powder and barium nitrate. Under the action of the catalyst, they instantly produce a strong chemical reaction and emit white light close to [-] candela!

The parachute slowed down the falling speed of the lighting torch. In the white light, the city wall of Jinzhou can be seen at a glance!

Subsequently, the artillery of the Japanese army began to wreak havoc!Countless shells flew towards the city gate!

Compared with the city wall, the city gate is only a small piece, so more shells hit the wall, and the ice layer on the wall was smashed to pieces in an instant. A rainstorm of stones and clods.

The flare lasted less than a second before it fell, and when the sky and the earth were about to fall into darkness again, another flare rose into the sky. In this white light, Nogi Xidian sneered slightly, According to his experience, as soon as the cannon fired, the Chinese ran away in fright!It's ridiculous that Imazu Takano is still waiting for some heavy artillery.

A few cannonballs finally hit the city gate. The city gate was made of wood, but it was covered with a layer of iron sheet. Such a gate obviously couldn't stop the shells from attacking!

More than a dozen Japanese soldiers loaded their bayonets silently. They rushed out of the bushes only 200 meters away from the city wall, and rushed towards the blasted city gate with the fastest speed. Afterwards, more soldiers armed with bayonets rifles, to the gates!

The strange thing is that there is not even the slightest sound of counterattacking guns on the wall!
