Anti-Japanese War: Red Alert Base, I am the Power

Two consecutive pieces of bad news reached the Lushun Fortress.

One is that the reinforcement fleet was completely wiped out, and the army and navy suffered heavy losses.

The second is that the Lushun Fortress port is full of mines, and they are blocked.

These two points indicate one thing.

The Lushun Fortress has become an isolated island.

The annihilation of the reinforcement fleet means that China has cut off the sea route between the mainland and them.

Domestic reinforcements and supplies can't come over at all.

Even His Majesty the Emperor acquiesced.

They have another retreat route.

That is to cross the sea directly and land in Yangping.

This is also the nearest retreat route.

But now the Lushun port is full of mines.

Their ships can't move at all in the port.

It's not known how long it will take to clear a channel.

Besides, who knows if there are any enemy submarines near the Lushun port.

The atmosphere in the entire Lushun Fortress is very depressing.

Perhaps everyone knows that they may not be able to leave.

Prince Asaka Naruhiko also reported the situation here to the General Staff Headquarters.

And sent a telegram to Emperor Hirohito.

Vowed to live and die with Lushun.

It was on this day that the vigorous battle of Lushun Fortress officially started.

Lushun Fortress is not a false reputation as the first fortress in the Far East.

At the beginning of construction, all the highlands near Lushunkou were used.

After decades of construction by the Qing Dynasty, the Bear and Japan.

Lushun Fortress is becoming more and more solid and more perfect.

The entire fortress currently has a total of 29 artillery batteries.

The number of heavy artillery equipped exceeds 200, reaching as many as 216.

Among them, the largest caliber artillery is the coastal defense artillery converted from a 383mm naval gun.

There are various caliber artillery such as 105mm caliber, 120mm caliber, 150mm caliber, 203mm caliber, 280mm caliber, etc. There are many types of howitzers, cannons, mortars, etc.

Basically, each artillery battery has more than 7 artillery, and the minimum caliber is 105mm.

This does not include the artillery regiments of multiple divisions of the Japanese army.

The total number of large and small artillery pieces exceeds 400.

In terms of quantity, it is not less than that of the Red Alert Corps.

In order to capture Lushun, 27 must destroy all 29 artillery batteries.

Including the fortifications on the batteries.

24 The 450mm caliber Red Alert cannon and the Grand Slam earth-penetrating bomb are the basis for Lingliang to capture the Lushun Fortress.

The 203mm and 240mm caliber heavy artillery still seem a little bit inferior in front of the Lushun Fortress.

"240 railway guns are divided into four groups, each responsible for a high ground.

Start from the nearest artillery.

Just like peeling an onion, peel off layer by layer.

The Port Arthur fortress will fall without a fight.

This bombardment will last for ten days.

I will let the air force assist in the operation and use bunker-buster bombs to destroy the Japanese fortress artillery.

It is a two-pronged approach.

Destroy these 29 artillery emplacements within ten days.

" This is what Ling Liang said at the last military meeting on the eve of the Battle of Port Arthur.

In the early morning, just after daybreak, the railway artillery regiment began to act.

All 24 railway artillery pieces gathered in the Jinzhou area, and the Railway Corps also laid special tracks for them.

It is less than 50 kilometers away from the Port Arthur Fortress.

With the performance of the Red Alert cannon and the superb skills of the soldiers.

Although it is not possible to say that you can hit whatever you point to within 50 kilometers.

However, the area of each high ground is not small, and the hit rate is still quite high.

The first targets of the 24 railway artillery pieces are the Songshushan Fort and the Erlongshan Fort at the front.

As for Hill 203, Ling Liang currently has no idea.

The attack here will be subjected to concentrated fire from all nearby Japanese artillery positions.

The price paid is too high.

After the number of Japanese artillery positions is weakened, it will be more appropriate to seize Hill 203.

""Fire!"

With the order, four 450mm Red Alert cannons began to roar.

The shells whistled towards the two highlands of Songshu Mountain and Erlong Mountain.

At this moment, there was a battalion of Japanese troops on each of the two highlands.

"boom....boom......"

The noise caused by the 450mm shells was still very spectacular.

Flames and dirt and gravel shot up into the sky.

One of the 450mm caliber shells landed accurately less than 10 meters away from the Erlongshan Fort.

Despite the protection of concrete fortifications.

But two 150mm caliber cannons were also affected.

Even the members of the artillery crew were blown away.

A gap was blown in the fortress of the Erlongshan Fortress.

There are three open-air turrets built with concrete fortifications on Erlongshan.

Each turret has three large-caliber heavy artillery.

Now one is directly destroyed.

These four shells are just calibration fire.

The first round of hit rate is still very good.

What awaits them next is a volley.

20 Red Alert cannons roared in unison.

Dense shells whizzed towards the two turrets.

At this time, all the Japanese troops hid inside the fortress.

But their heavy artillery could not hide.

"Boom boom boom......."

Incredibly dense explosions sounded one after another.

The two heights were like dense volcanic eruptions at this moment, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

The ground was also shaking violently in the explosion.

The destructive effect caused by one shell was very large.

20 shells fell together.

The damage to the fortresses and fortifications on the two heights was still very large.

Many fortresses and positions were destroyed.

The Japanese wanted to fight back.

But the railway artillery position was too far away from them. The range of their farthest artillery was only 20 to 30 kilometers.

And they couldn't move, so they could only passively withstand the bombing.

A feeling of powerlessness emerged in my heart.

This was the most torturous.

They could only watch one artillery position after another being blown up like this.

Prince Asaka Naruhiko was also very shocked.

He couldn't figure it out, why���Why are the Chinese equipped with so many large-caliber heavy artillery?

If they were in the army, it would be very good to be able to produce two.

After all, their steel production is only more than 2 million tons.

A part of it is needed for national construction, and the navy takes the bulk.

There is not much left for their army.

"Buzz......."

How could the attack on Lushun be without the presence of the Air Force?

30 peacekeeping bombers formed two 15-plane formations, and each 15-plane formation was divided into 5 3-plane formations. At this moment, they were flying at an altitude of 5,000 meters.

At this altitude, it was beyond the firing height of all the Japanese army's current small and medium-caliber defense artillery.

And this altitude would not have much impact on their accurate bombing.

The Grand Slam earth-penetrating bomb can be said to be the nemesis of all fortress fortifications.

Looking at the roaring bomber group, many Japanese soldiers changed their faces.

They were naturally soldiers of the Third Division.

They saw with their own eyes that these bombers dropped earthquake bombs and forcibly collapsed a Daheishan highland with an altitude of more than 400 meters. No matter how strong the Lushun Fortress is, it can't withstand such an explosion.

This time, Jiang Fan prepared a total of 1,000 such Grand Slam bombs for the Lushun Fortress.

One bomb is 2,000 funds, and these 1,000 are worth two million.

This price is not cheap.

Even if all of them were used up, each turret would basically get about 30 bombs.

These were 10-ton bunker-buster bombs.

The aircraft in front began to drop bombs on the Songshu Mountain Heights.

The sparse anti-aircraft artillery fire below began to counterattack.

This had no effect on the bomber group at 5,000 meters in the air.

"Chirp......"

The location of the fortress can be clearly seen through the sight in the air.

The bombardier only needs to aim at the open-air fortress.

Basically, the hit rate can be over 90%.

After all, the area of these open-air turrets is not small.

Even if it is not an open-air turret, there is no need to worry if it is inside the mountain. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

The Grand Slam bunker-buster bomb is used for this.

The penetration depth is 40 meters in the soil layer and 7 meters in the concrete.

Once discovered, it will definitely not be able to withstand it.

The first Grand Slam bunker-buster bomb accurately landed in a fortress turret on the Pine Mountain Highlands.

It broke through the concrete layer directly and drilled downwards.[]

The fort's turret was located right below the ammunition depot, which was protected by three meters of concrete.

"boom......."

With a loud bang, the high-temperature flames instantly swept the entire space.

The shells inside were detonated one after another. An extremely violent explosion occurred.

The entire fortress turret was destroyed instantly, and a huge deep hole was blown out directly.

Then one after another, the earth-penetrating bombs and 450mm cannon shells fell.

Songshu Mountain Heights and Erlong Mountain Heights were subjected to unprecedented fierce bombing and artillery fire.

No matter how strong the fortress is, it can't withstand such destruction.

After half of the Grand Slam was dropped, the fortress turrets on the two heights were completely destroyed.

The surface position fortifications suffered even more devastating damage.

Huge deep pits were densely dotted on the two heights.

The mountaintops were almost flattened.

But the air force continued to drop bombs. It was not until all 30 bombs were dropped that they reluctantly returned.

The specific effect is unknown, but at least now there is no shadow of fortifications on the two heights.

There are only deep pits of varying sizes.

In one morning, 24 450mm cannons fired more than 500 shells at the two heights.

Basically, each gun fired 20 shells.

The two heights were plowed again.

The height of the two heights was only one or two hundred meters. Although the mountain was not trampled, the two heights were basically completely destroyed.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the bombardment began on time.

This time the target has been changed to the Lookout Fortress and the East Jiguan Mountain Heights.

There are only five heights in the east of the Lushun Fortress.

These five heights are connected to protect the Lushun Fortress.

Today's goal is to completely destroy these five heights.

The Japanese troops in the Lushun Fortress could only watch their heights and artillery fortresses being destroyed one by one.

Some radical Japanese troops even clamored to launch a desperate charge.

But the two sides were about 40 kilometers apart.

It is estimated that they were directly blown up before they ran over.

This undoubtedly made them more angry.

After the Red Alert cannons plowed the Lookout Fortress and the East Jiguan Mountain Heights, they basically destroyed part of the anti-aircraft firepower.

I just don't know if the Japanese have deployed anti-aircraft guns.

The fighter planes sent by the Air Force this time are still 30 peacekeeping bombers and 24 MiG fighters for pure escort. They followed the same pattern and attacked the two heights just like in the morning.

This time the Japanese actually learned to be smart.

They actually began to use smoke bombs on a large scale to cover the location of the fortress turrets.

Don't say it, this really has some effect.

Looking through the sight, it was gray and hazy, and the location of the opponent's turret fortress could not be found.

This is actually easy to deal with. The fleet immediately responded.

No longer using the method of concentrated bombing, but dropping one by one.

The shock wave after the explosion of the Grand Slam bomb will directly disperse part of the smoke.

In this way, the bombers behind can vaguely know the location of the opponent's turret.

Although it is a bit more difficult to do this, it is still effective.

When the first Grand Slam bomb went down and exploded with a bang.

The shock wave swept up the strong wind and dispersed part of the surrounding smoke.

The location of the artillery position could indeed be vaguely seen from the air.

So one after another, the Grand Slam fell.

The effect was also very obvious.

The artillery was still blown up one by one.

The Japanese army's smoke tactics were cracked in this way.

The Lookout Fortress and the East Jiguanshan Artillery still did not escape the fate of being destroyed.

The shelling lasted for another three hours and did not stop until five o'clock in the afternoon.

Then the 813 target was turned to the last artillery in the east-the Baiyinshan Artillery. The

Baiyinshan Artillery is not large in scale, with a total of 5 independent artillery.

Each artillery is more than ten meters apart and is wrapped in a thick layer of concrete.

"Woo woo woo....."

24 Red Alert cannons began to concentrate fire.

More than 50 shells were dropped in half an hour.

After a day of fighting, the barrels needed to cool down, but basically maintained a rate of fire of 3-4 rounds per hour.

Then came a bomber formation consisting of 18 peacekeeping bombers.

18 Grand Slam bombs went down.

The Baiyinshan Heights were also directly taken out.

It was already past six o'clock at this time.

The Red Alert Corps ended the first day of artillery and bombing.

On this day, 78 Grand Slam earth-penetrating bombs were used alone.

During World War II, the Allies only produced a total of 99 Grand Slam bombs.

The number used was only forty or fifty. The number used today exceeded the number used by the Allies. No matter how strong the Port Arthur Fortress is, it has its limits.

This is the most powerful weapon during World War II.

The five heights were completely destroyed, and the Japanese began to panic.

The combination of the Red Alert cannon and the Grand Slam directly stunned the Japanese.

Originally, they were confident that they could hold on for half a year or even longer.

But if we continue at this speed, the entire fortress of 29 highlands may not last even half a month.

Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko is still confused.

He admits that the Chinese have a lot of railway guns. Judging from the scale of the bombardment, there are at least 20 guns.

Not to mention how difficult and expensive it is to produce this railway gun.

But are their shells free?

This kind of large-caliber shells are not cheap.

How many were fired today.

And the earthquake bombs are particularly terrifying.

The railway cannon is better, and it cannot pose a great threat to the tunnel fortifications inside the highlands.

But this kind of drilling earthquake bomb is different.

This thing is to drill inside and explode, and the power is extremely terrifying.

The damage to the internal structure is particularly huge.

Basically, the five highlands were destroyed by these earthquake bombs.

But why are these earthquake bombs free of charge?

Many highlands have been destroyed, and they continue to be thrown down.

He was right, basically, they are like free of charge.

More than 10,000 450mm shells plus more than 1,000 Grand Slams.

Jiang Fan only spent about 10 million yuan in total.

That's just over three days.

As long as they can take down the Lushun Fortress, it doesn't matter.

In addition to the artillery, their casualties today were also very heavy.

More than 4,000 soldiers were blown to death.

They didn't even dare to send people to the high ground to find out if there were any surviving soldiers.

The next day, just after dawn, the bombardment began again.

The target of this bombardment was the high ground group west of Lushun.
