Although the troops and firepower at hand increased significantly, the death order to win a decisive victory within a time limit still made Shinji Ishii feel tremendous pressure. During the Russo-Japanese War, although Noki Noki was unable to attack Lushun for a long time and lost his troops and generals. He should have been dismissed long ago, Noki Noki's seniority in the Japanese Army and was deeply trusted by the Emperor. Therefore, the Manchurian Army Command did not dare to touch him easily. He just sent Otaro Genha as the chief of staff to command the battle instead of Noki's Qidun, and finally conquered Lushun and saved Noki's Qidun's face.

Unfortunately, Shinji Ishii is not Nogi Hakinori, and no one will take care of his face. Therefore, for Shinji Ishii this time, this is a battle of back and for him, he will succeed.

However, the last attack also allowed Shinji Ishii to accumulate a lot of experience. Although the troops and firepower on hand have increased significantly, they are still not as good as the Japanese troops participating in the Far East. Therefore, a comprehensive attack is obviously not feasible. If the troops are too dispersed, they should still concentrate their forces and attack a little in order to break through the overall situation. However, a concentrated attack must also have some forces on the flank to restrain the defensive power of the People's Army. Fortunately, Shinji Ishii is now at a high price, because he has enough firepower and can also be arranged calmly.

So after consultation between Shinji Ishii and the staff, they decided to attack the People's Army's defense line in three ways, and attack the coastal attack on the left and right wings was naturally a feint as a feint attack, aiming to restrain the People's Army's forces, but they also assigned two divisions and more than 180 artillery to ensure that there is enough force on both wings and as much as possible. In the middle attack, three divisions and more than 300 artillery were concentrated, including 20 152mm artillery and 8 280mm caliber artillery guns, all of which were arranged in the middle, striving to suppress the People's Army's resistance with heavy firepower and pave the way for the Japanese army's offensive. They strive to break through the People's Army's defense line in one go and achieve a decisive victory.

After the attack tactics were arranged, the Japanese army launched an attack on the People's Army's defense line the next day. Moreover, the Japanese army's attack this time was much louder than last time, and the artillery alone was twice as powerful as the artillery. It was eight 280mm caliber guns. Although the diameter was not large, they were 280mm caliber guns after all, and they were really powerful. Once they were activated, they were naturally earth-shaking and amazing. The 8 280mm caliber guns were divided into two batches and fired in turn.

What's more, Japan has 20 152mm artillery guns. Although the power is not as powerful as the 280mm mortar gun, for the army, this is a large-caliber heavy artillery. Therefore, every time the Japanese army opens fire, the vibration on the ground can almost be transmitted to the command center 3,000 meters away.

Shinji Ishii was very satisfied with the Japanese firepower this time, because he had never participated in the Russo-Japanese War, so this was the largest shelling he had ever seen in his life. Looking at the positions of the People's Army, every time the Japanese army fired, a large number of explosive sparks and thick smoke would inevitably rise, and the impact was far from comparable to last time.

At this moment, Shinji Ishii couldn't help but relax. Under such a powerful firepower attack, the People's Army's defense line could not withstand such firepower attacks by the Japanese army.

The shelling lasted for about 10 minutes, and Shinji Ishii also had a rare relaxation in the command center, so you could sit down and make tea with the staff.

However, just as Shinji Ishii poured the brewed tea into the tea cup, there were only a few loud noises of "boom boom" and the ground trembled. Two tea cups fell to the ground and smashed it. The tea in the other teas also splashed the table and the ground.

Shinji Ishii was also shocked because the loud noises just now were not the sound of artillery fire, but the sound of artillery shell explosion. Although Shinji Ishii had never experienced the front-line battlefield after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, he could still hear the difference between artillery fire and explosion. And judging from the direction of the sound, it was within 4,5,000 meters of the command center. Is it difficult for the People's Army's artillery fire to hit the Japanese position? But from the situation in the previous battle, the range of the People's Army's artillery was only about 5,000 meters, and Shinji Ishii's command center was 12,000 away from the People's Army's position, so it was impossible for the People's Army's artillery to hit the Japanese position.

Shinji Ishii was still thinking about it, but a communications soldier ran into the command center in a hurry and said, "Report to the commander, our artillery position has been shot."

Shinji Ishii hurriedly asked, "It's that artillery position."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the explosion of "boom boom boom boom boom" and several tea cups on the table fell down. A high-data rack was shaken down, and the "Lailai" of the command center scattered sand and dust. Shinji Ishii's face changed drastically. Without waiting for the communications soldiers to answer, he rushed out of the command center and came to the observation deck. He could see clearly without using a telescope. Sure enough, he saw that two 280mm mortar positions were bombarded, and at this time, shells continued to fall to the ground and exploded.

At this time, the staff members also ran out of the command center. Looking around, they couldn't help but be shocked, because no one expected that their artillery positions, especially the two 280mm mortars, would have been bombarded by the People's Army. Where did the shells come from?

Fortunately, the shells continued to fall at this time, so it also provided conditions for the staff to observe the source of the shells. Of course, they could only observe a rough direction, but the staff could clearly see that these shells were all from the ocean. At this time, Shinji Ishii's legs became weak and fell to the ground. He regretted it even though he had forgotten the People's Army's navy.

It turned out that when the Japanese army gathered their troops, Luo Yue estimated that this time the Japanese army's attack was bad, so the navy's fleet was going to join the war this time, so he ordered the fleet to prepare, first divide the fleet into two, park in the left and right waters of the Neng Peninsula, and measure the relevant parameters.

After the Japanese army launched an attack, Luo Yue immediately ordered the takeoff of the drone and observe the position of the Japanese artillery positions. Since the Japanese 280mm mortar gun was indeed powerful, even if it was the trenches of the People's Army and the defense line was fully designed to prevent artillery, it was still somewhat out of focus for large-caliber artillery such as 280mm. Therefore, the Japanese 280mm artillery did cause considerable losses to the People's Army's positions.

Luo Yue immediately ordered the drone to first observe the location of the 280-million artillery position, and then immediately transmit the data to the warships anchored on the sea. At this time, the warship had already made preparations. After receiving the data and orders from Luo Yue, it immediately launched a bombardment.

The People's Army Fleet's two battleships and four iron armored ships had a total of 28 280mm artillery pieces, and two armored cruisers, with 4 240mm artillery pieces; 4 203mm artillery pieces; and there were more than 30 152mm artillery pieces. At this time, they all opened fire together and launched fierce bombardment on the Japanese 280mm artillery position.

Despite the precise positioning, the fleet's artillery distance was more than 20,000 meters, and it was affected by waves at sea, so the hit was not high. However, the artillery position was a huge target and did not require accurate strikes. So after the People's Army fleet launched a strike, the artillery shells continued to fall into the Japanese artillery position, and immediately bombed the Japanese position and was beyond recognition.

After 5 minutes of artillery attack, the two 280-million artillery positions of the Japanese army were completely destroyed. Therefore, the People's Army fleet also changed its targets and attacked other Japanese artillery positions. The Japanese artillery positions were destroyed one by one. Other artillery positions that had not yet been attacked by the People's Army fleet hurriedly put away their artillery, withdrew from their positions, and hid in the dense forest.

Although Shinji Ishii also hurriedly ordered that the Japanese army attacking on both wings change the direction of the artillery attack and attack the People's Army's fleet to restrain the People's Army's naval strikes, the People's Army fleet was anchored at a location 10,000 meters away from the shore. The Japanese army on both wings lacked large-caliber artillery, so it basically cannot pose any threat to the People's Army fleet. In addition, there are protective cruisers in the People's Army fleet that can bombard the shore. Not only are they covered, but they also continuously destroyed many Japanese artillery.

So in just over 20 minutes, nearly half of the Japanese artillery were destroyed, and they were all destroyed by the People's Army's fleet.

Shinji Ishii never expected that this attack would be like this because the People's Army dispatched the fleet's firepower support this time. Now it seems that the people had not used the fleet last time, and they deliberately set up a trap for the Japanese army. But they actually came in in a daze and ended up losing.

And this consequence is definitely not something I can bear. Thinking of this, Shinji Ishii's heart trembled. Is it hard to really commit suicide by having a caesarean section? In fact, before the attack, Shinji Ishii was also mentally prepared and was very calm at the time. If the attack failed, he would commit suicide to thank Japan. But now the Japanese army had not launched a formal attack, and he committed suicide like this. Shinji Ishii was also very unwilling to accept it. After struggling several times, Shinji Ishii finally made a decision and ordered the armies to launch an attack on the positions of the People's Army.

The staff members were shocked after hearing this order, because at this time, they could only cause losses and it was impossible to break through the People's Army's position. After all, the result of the last attack has been proved that it is useless to rely solely on people to pile up the People's Army's defense line. Therefore, they all advised Shinji Ishii to not launch an attack, and it is best to withdraw troops.

Na Zhishi Ishii Shinji was furious, pulled out his sword, slashed hard on the podium, and said sternly: "I am determined. If anyone dares to object, I will engage in military law." When the staff members heard this, they immediately became cold and did not dare to persuade him anymore. Everyone knew that the commander had completely lost his mind.
