Of course, there is no suspense in this ambush. The People's Army is far superior to the Japanese in terms of number of people, firepower, intelligence, etc., and there is also firepower support at sea. The only advantage of the Japanese army is that it has high quality and rich practical experience, but it cannot make up for the huge gap in other aspects. Therefore, it can be said that the Japanese army has almost no chance in this battle.

When the two rear defenses of the Japanese army entered the ambush positions set up by the People's Army, the first thing was the warships launched a strike from the sea, and the shells fell into the Japanese army's queue, which immediately disrupted the Japanese army's queue. Then the People's Army's large and small mortars launched shells, and the dense shells fell into the Japanese army's team, which completely caused chaos in the Japanese army. In addition, the various machine guns, rifles, and grenade launchers of the People's Army launched fire, killing the Japanese army to death.

In fact, the Japanese army also wanted to organize effective resistance, but the People's Army's artillery bombardment was very accurate. Once it was discovered that the Japanese army organized a defensive position, it immediately organized a wave of mortars to attack, which immediately broke up the Japanese resistance.

After about 30 minutes of fire strike, the Japanese army's ranks were in chaos, and there were huge casualties. They had no system and organized resistance. Only then did the People's Army launch an attack on the Japanese army, and the two sides launched fierce hand-to-hand combat.

Although the Japanese army was very stubborn and insisted on fighting even in an unfavorable situation. Many Japanese soldiers were not afraid of life and death, but the situation was hopeless after all, and relying solely on the soldiers' personal spiritual strength could not save the situation.

However, it was precisely because of the Japanese army's tenacious resistance that the battle started at 1 noon and ended until after 5 pm. The Japanese army was annihilated more than 8,000 people, and more than 3,000 others were captured by the People's Army. More than half of them were wounded, and only more than 1,000 people successfully broke through the battlefield and fled. The People's Army also suffered 1,159 people, 1,894 people were injured, and the combat was reduced by more than 3,000 people, and the intensity of the battle was also possible. However, Bi Jing wiped out the Japanese reinforcements, so strategically, it completely isolated the defenders of Lushun.

After winning, the 7th Division and the 2nd Reserve Regiment did not participate in the work of clearing the battlefield, and left the wounded, and immediately set off to rush to Jinzhou. At 8 pm, he arrived in Jinzhou.

At this time, Jinzhou was just an empty city, with only thousands of Japanese logistics personnel and hundreds of left-behind troops in the city. No one expected that the People's Army would reach Jinzhou at this time, so there was no defense. Moreover, Jinzhou had no city wall protection, and the People's Army successfully advanced into the Jinzhou urban area.

The scope of Jinzhou City was not large, and with the help of intelligence personnel, the People's Army quickly controlled the key points of the city. By 11 o'clock in the evening, it had completely controlled Jinzhou City. During this period, only a few sporadic battles occurred. The People's Army killed more than 200 resisting Japanese soldiers, and captured more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers and logistics personnel, and seized a large amount of supplies. The People's Army also paid the price of 53 killed and 87 injured.

After dawn, the 7th Division sent two regiments to attack, occupying Sitai Mountain, Miaoshan, Dadingshan and other areas in the northern part of Jinzhou, and also stabilized the guards of Jinzhou City. After conquering the Lushun city, they could lead their troops eastward and attack into the Liaodong Peninsula area.

After receiving the news of the victory of the ambushing the Japanese reinforcements, Luo Yue no longer hesitated and decided to launch a battle against the Lushun city the next day.

The urban area of ​​Lushun is built on the Lushun Bay and is divided into two parts: the old city and the new city. The old city is located on the east bank of Lushun Bay, south of Jiguan Mountain. The urban area is about 2 kilometers long from north to south and about 2.5 kilometers wide from east to west, and is also the old city location of Lushun. The new city area is located on the north bank of Lushun Bay, about 1.5 kilometers long from north to south and about 2 kilometers wide from east to west. It was the new city area that was expanded after the Beiyang Navy formed its army, and Lushun was used as the home port. Therefore, the new city area was expanded with Longhe and Baiyu Mountain as the dividing line.

After Russia forced the lease of Lushun, it also used the new city area as the development area and built a large number of new buildings and streets in the new city area. After the Japanese army occupied the neighboring Lushun, it requisitioned a large number of these buildings as Japanese stationed and used for offices. The main ones include: the Army Department of the Japanese Kanto Governor's Office, the former Russian Kanto Army Artillery Command, the Japanese Generals' School Assembly, and the former Russian Lushun Industrial School; the Japanese Kanto Gendarmerie Command, which was originally the Civil Affairs Department of Kanto Prefecture of Russia; there are also Russian Generals' School Club, barracks, naval barracks, etc. The main buildings in the old city include: Russian Lushun Prison, Lushun Railway Station, the Governor's Office of the Governor's Office of the Qing Dynasty, the Beiyang Naval Office, the Beiyang Hospital, etc.

Between the new and old urban areas, Baiyu Mountain becomes the highest point in the Lushun city, with an altitude of 165 meters. At the southern end of the old urban area, there is also the Golden Mountain Highland, with an altitude of 119 meters, echoing the Tiger Tai Mountain on the west side of the Lushun Bay entrance, guarding the estuary of Lushun Bay.

In addition, there is a naval camp north of Jiguan Mountain, which was the garrison of the Lushun Naval Division in the early years of Kangxi. It has developed to this day and has become a residential area. The Bumai naval camp has been occupied by the People's Army.

Before the People's Army launched an attack, we got another good news. After several days of intensified repairs, we finally built a simple wooden structure trestle to transport the 155mm* guns from the 1st Army to the shore. Although this type of gun is pulled with animal power and is not very mobile, it is an army gun after all, and it is a relatively flexible arrangement. Although the power of the 55 mm caliber is not as powerful as a naval gun, it is only 25 times the range and has a 12-kilometer range, such data is enough in land warfare, and after all, large-caliber artillery is not needed in urban combat.

Moreover, the 1st Army did not have only this artillery regiment, but also a 125mm* artillery regiment. In addition, each division had a 105mm* artillery regiment. It can be said that these artillery came ashore and greatly strengthened the firepower of the People's Army.

Luo Yue and the commanders of the 1st Army decided to adopt a two-pronged tactic to use a two-pronged tactic to attack the Lushun New City District, the 1st Division attacked the Lushun Old City District and Baiyushan, and the 6th Division was the general reserve. Since the Marine Corps did not have artillery of more than 75 mm, the 105 mm artillery regiment of the 6th Division was handed over to the Marines to command. The warships attacked from the sea, attacked the Golden Mountain and the Tiger Tail, and restrained the artillery of these two positions.

The 125mm* artillery regiment and the 155mm* artillery regiment directly under the 1st Army are respectively arranged on each high ground around Lushun to serve as fire support for the two battlefields, because the range of these two types of artillery is more than 10 kilometers, which can basically cover the entire Lushun urban area.

After the plan was determined, the artillery troops also set up positions overnight to prepare for tomorrow's battle.

Of course, the Japanese army was not idle in the past few days. Nogi Hajiri had already made up his mind to live and die with Lushun. Therefore, in the past few days, relying on buildings and streets in the Lushun urban area, a total of 66 defense strongholds and more than 100 shooting points were arranged, and they were preparing to make full use of the urban terrain of Lushun to fight a city war with the People's Army. Even if it was finally lost, the People's Army would pay a heavy price.

Nogi Hidian set up his command center at Lushun Railway Station. Of course, Nogi Hidian's arrangement was carefully considered. Lushun Railway Station has the Long River as a chasm in the west, Baiyu Mountain as a screen in the east, and Lushun Bay as a barrier in the south, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. At the same time, Nogi Hidian also plans to destroy the railway station at necessary moments, leaving a Lushun with all kinds of innovations for the People's Army.

At the same time, Nogi Kinomi did not forget to inspire the morale of the Japanese army, so he recruited all the Japanese soldiers in Lushun City to give a lecture. He first admitted that Lushun is now an isolated city, and the surrounding tactical points are occupied by the People's Army, so it must be impossible to defend. The Japanese army in the city has only two choices, either fight to the death and eventually die gloriously, but this is to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country for seven purposes. In the future, their names will be left in the Yasukuni Shrine and win eternal glory. Their families, Ji Wu, will be proud and respected by the entire Japan; or they will surrender humiliation, even if they are finally able to survive, they will endure humiliation and live in peace. Not only will they be looked down upon and unable to raise their heads, but their families will be ridiculed by the whole of Japan.

Sure enough, after hearing Nogi's words, the Japanese soldiers were immediately excited and expressed their desire to fight to the death with the People's Army and guard Lushun to the death. Some people shouted the slogan "Lushun Jade Broken".

Nogi Hinomi was also very satisfied with the effect of his agitation, so he announced that he would stay in the command center and never take a step back. If the People's Army attacked the command center, he would commit suicide by cutting his caesarean section in the command center, and make an appointment with the soldiers to meet in the Yasukuni Shrine. The atmosphere of mobilization was pushed to *.

The battle to attack Lushun began on May 19. Since the People's Army had already used drones and had a good understanding of the Japanese defense arrangement, it first used artillery arranged on the peripheral positions to launch violent artillery bombardment on the Lushun position.

Although the medium-caliber artillery used this time, it was defeated by a large number, with a total of more than a hundred pieces. The firepower projection per unit time was quite considerable. Moreover, it was impossible for the Japanese army to build such a strong fortification in a few hasty days, so it was bombarded and injured and killed countless times, and many defensive positions were razed to the ground by fierce artillery fire.

Of course, the Japanese army also had artillery, but the number was not large and small. It only had more than 20 pieces in total, half of which were set up on Baiyu Mountain. Although the Japanese artillery also tried hard to fire and fight back, the People's Army's artillery positions were very scattered, with a total of 18 positions set up. Even if 1 or 2 were knocked out by the Japanese army, it was irrelevant. Moreover, once the Japanese artillery fired back, it would immediately reveal its position and immediately suffered a series of fierce artillery fire covered and had no chance to run away. In particular, the Baiyu Mountain position was given the focus of the People's Army's firepower attack.
