For the 4th Armored Division, no matter what, they had to bombard the enemy before attacking.

The 4th Self-propelled Artillery Brigade was deployed in the rear.

They were not qualified to participate in the previous artillery battle, but now it was finally their time to show their skills.

36 Wild Bee 155mm self-propelled howitzers, 12 Black Panther 210mm self-propelled howitzers and 24 V1 self-propelled rocket launchers all aimed their guns at Hill 203.

"put!"

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

"whoosh whoosh whoosh......."

Dozens of heavy artillery and 24 self-propelled rocket launchers began to fire at Hill 203.

Countless shells whizzed towards Hill 203.

Suddenly, the entire Hill 203 was in flames.

Especially the 210mm shells fired by the Black Panther self-propelled artillery.

One shot left a huge crater.

The Japanese fortifications were built on the ruins of Hill 203.

They were not very strong.

How could they withstand the bombardment of large-caliber heavy artillery?

All the small positions that were hit were basically taken away by one shot.

The rockets poured down like a rainstorm.

A fierce and continuous explosion set off on Hill 203.

It caused a lot of damage to their simple defense line.

Many surface fortifications were directly blown up.

The bombardment did not last long.

Within an hour, more than 3,000 rockets were fired. There were more than 1,000 shells of various types.

"The first brigade attacked from the front, the second brigade drew some troops to cover the attack, and the third brigade divided its troops into the left and right wings to encircle the enemy.""The 603rd Brigade is the core unit of the 4th Armored Division and also a tank brigade.

The slope of the 203rd Heights is not high.

The Guardian main battle tank's climbing ability is fully capable of rushing up.

With the cover of tanks, it is not a problem to take the heights.

At this time, fierce battles were also breaking out in other major heights.

They could hardly protect themselves, let alone support the 203rd Heights.

More than a hundred tanks lined up in a row, looking for an angle to attack the 203rd Heights.

There were also multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles following behind. In the sky, a series of Invader fighter-bombers rushed out of the clouds and dived towards the 203th Heights.

Looking down from a high place They could see the movements of the Japanese troops on Hill 203 more clearly.

Seeing the Japanese troops running back and forth everywhere, they decisively launched an attack.

They lowered the nose of the plane and sprayed dense bullets, rockets and bombs at the Japanese.

The Japanese troops just wanted to show their heads to fight back. They were suppressed by the reinforcements of the invader fighter-bombers.

Their artillery hidden in the mountains no longer hid at this moment.

They began to bombard the tank cluster.

However, before they could fire two shots, they were taken care of by the invader fighter-bombers.

The tank cluster continued to advance steadily.

"Kill......"

In desperation, the little Japanese launched a desperate charge. They rushed towards the tank cluster one by one.

Then faced with the fierce firepower of tanks and multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles, they had no chance to get close.

At this time, multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles also put down soldiers one after another.

They began to spread around and wipe out the remaining Japanese forces.

Soon, dozens of small positions on the periphery were basically cleared.

Many of them were destroyed in the previous artillery bombardment.

When they launched an attack on the main position on the top of the slope, they encountered a fierce counterattack.

The little Japanese were completely fearless and fought back in the hail of bullets.

Dense bullets swept towards the tank cluster. The armor of the tank hit by the bullets made a clanging sound.

The self-propelled mortar vehicle in the rear fired fiercely.

With the help of the semi-automatic loading device,

120mm mortar shells were sent to the top of the slope at a rate of more than 15 rounds per minute.

The Red Alert Corps pays great attention to the coordinated operations of multiple arms.

The weapons and equipment system is also very complete.

How could this group of toothless devils resist?

However, the devils dug a lot of deep pits in front of the main position.

They formed simple anti-tank trenches.

They tried to block the advance of the tanks in this way.

At this time, the armored engineering vehicles of the engineers came up.

These engineering tanks have various tools such as buckets and bulldozers.

And they are also heavily armored.

These armored engineering vehicles are modified on the basis of the Rhino heavy tanks.

Their existence is for armored mechanized troops to clear obstacles, open roads, repair roads, build bunkers, etc.

The Japanese army has no anti-tank capabilities and can only watch the obstacles they set up being cleared one after another.

They also set up a large number of mines here before.

But during the bombardment, most of these mines were detonated.

When the armored engineering vehicles laid the offensive road, they retired.

One tank after another crossed the obstacles and launched a final attack on the core position of the Japanese army.

The exhausted Japanese army also began a crazy counterattack.

One by one, fearless of death, they jumped out of the position holding explosive packs and anti-tank grenades.

They wanted to die together with the tanks.

However, facing the coordinated tactics of infantry and tanks, their method was useless.

Soon, under the cover of the tanks, one soldier after another entered the Japanese position.

STG-The sound of 44 rifles began to resound in the positions.

The two sides fought fiercely in the positions.

The Japanese army was determined to fight to the death, and the resistance was particularly fierce.

The fighting style was completely life for life.

It still caused a certain amount of pressure on the soldiers of the Fourth Armored Division.

After a fierce battle for half a day, hundreds of Japanese troops were finally compressed into a very small position.

This was originally a bomb crater formed by the explosion of a Grand Slam bunker-buster bomb.

It was transformed into a circular position by the Japanese army.

They also knew their fate.

Facing the multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles surrounding them from all directions, they all had fearless eyes.

"For His Majesty the Emperor, onboard!"

"Onboard!"

The crazy Japanese army launched the final desperate attack.

In less than ten minutes, the gunshots dissipated above Hill 203.

The flag of the Red Alert Corps fluttered above Hill 203.

From here you can directly overlook the entire Port Arthur.

No wonder the Japanese army deployed heavy troops here.

But it was of no avail.

After nightfall, the First Army entered a rest period.

Today, they have achieved a lot.

Among them, the Seventh and Eighth Motorized Infantry Divisions on the Eastern Front took all the high ground. (To read the violent novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

The Japanese army had only about 10,000 soldiers there.

They could not stop the attack of more than 40,000 people from two divisions.

They were easily taken down under the overwhelming odds.

The door to Port Arthur has been completely opened to the Fourth Army.

The demise of the Japanese army in Port Arthur has entered the countdown.[]

The next day, the 4th Armored Division, the 1st and 2nd Mechanized Infantry Divisions concentrated their forces to launch a general attack on the highlands on the west line.

The 7th and 8th Mechanized Infantry Divisions, which had broken through the highlands on the east line, were divided into two routes.

One route went straight to the rear of the highlands on the west line of the Japanese army, assisting the 4th Armored Division, the 1st and 2nd Mechanized Infantry Divisions to capture several highlands on the west line.

The other route directly attacked several highlands on the seaside.

These highlands are where the shore-based artillery positions are located.

The Japanese army also has some troops stationed on them.

In order to make the attack smoother,

Lingliang sent the 9th Mechanized Infantry Division as the general reserve to join the battle.

The battle on the highlands on the west line was particularly fierce.

Most of the Japanese troops were concentrated on these highlands, with almost 40,000 people.

Among them, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko also personally commanded the Niujiao Mountain Highlands.

The Lushun Port area was no longer safe, so they were forced to set up their headquarters on the relatively safe Niujiao Mountain.

However, when the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division appeared in the rear, it became unsafe here.

But these highlands are not easy to conquer.

This place is not isolated like Hill 203.

These hills are basically connected and can support each other.

The terrain is also more complicated, and there are not many places for tanks to go up.

However, the 4th Armored Division did not back down.

It directly concentrated its forces to attack Sunjiagou, which has the flattest terrain.

The Japanese army deployed the most troops here, more than 10,000 people.

But facing the tank cluster that swept in like a tsunami, no matter how many people there were, they could not stop it.

And they completely lost air superiority.

Artillery basically did not dare to show up..........

As soon as they showed up, they were destroyed, without exception.

After losing more than ten Guardian tanks, they forcibly rushed into the Sunjiagou position group.

A gap was torn in the Japanese army's western highland defense line.

So the 1st and 2nd Mechanized Infantry Divisions followed this gap and launched attacks on the highlands on the left and right sides respectively.

The 7th Mechanized Infantry Division launched a fierce attack on the Baiyu Mountain and Niujiao Mountain defense lines behind the Japanese army.

Under the front and back attacks, the Japanese army began to retreat.

On the second day, many construction sites were lost, and the remaining troops were trapped on the two highlands of Xiao'anzi Mountain and Yizi Mountain.

At this time, the remaining Japanese troops were less than 30,000.

It is conceivable how fierce the battle was in the past two days.

Even the Fourth Army suffered more than 3,000 casualties.

The battle loss ratio reached more than ten to one.

To be able to achieve this level, this group of little devils is worthy of being the old division of the Japanese army.

But even the oldest old division is powerless to turn the tide under the absolute advantage.

On the third day, under Ling Liang's order, the Fourth Army launched the final general offensive.

The First Independent Heavy Artillery Division, the First Mixed Heavy Artillery Division and several artillery brigades.

More than 200 heavy artillery with a caliber of 155 mm or more and more than 100 self-propelled rocket launchers were assembled.

A fierce bombardment was launched on the last two heights of the Japanese army, Xiao'anzi Mountain and Yizi Mountain.

The Air Force also assembled 120 peacekeeping bombers to carpet bomb them.

After the war, on these two heights, basically if you picked up a handful of soil, you could find that half of it was shell fragments.

It can be seen how dense the shelling and bombing were.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my incompetence and inability to defend the Port Arthur fortress.

We will sacrifice everything to build the Great Wall of the Empire's Heroic Souls."

Finally, a farewell telegram floated from Port Arthur to the Japanese mainland.

The Japanese army no longer launched a fearless desperate charge.

Instead, they chose to resist layer by layer.

They wanted to kill as many Red Alert soldiers as possible in this way.

Their cowardly fighting style did delay their demise.

However, the battle ended at nightfall.

The soldiers also found the body of Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko in the ruins.

Since then, the battle of Port Arthur has basically come to an end.

There are still some Japanese soldiers scattered on the high ground in the southern area of Port Arthur.

It took more than 20 days, a large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies were spent, and more than 6,000 people were sacrificed. The casualties of the soldiers.

Finally, the first fortress in the Far East was captured.

The most important ones were undoubtedly the Red Alert cannon and the Grand Slam bunker-buster bomb.

If it were not for these two heavy weapons to destroy the Japanese fortresses and artillery positions.

It would probably take an unimaginable price to capture this fortress.

When the news of the capture of the Port Arthur Fortress by the Red Alert Corps on April 9 spread, it even caused a shock around the world.

The name of the Port Arthur Fortress was well known to everyone during the Russo-Japanese War.

They knew very well how strong the Port Arthur Fortress was.

However, it was such a famous Far East fortress.

There were more than 100,000 Japanese troops stationed on it.

But But it fell within a month, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were completely wiped out.

Whether it was England, France or the Russian Bear, if you ask yourself, it would be very difficult for them to do it.

For the first time, they paid attention to this local warlord in China.

Especially England.

Because they have a lot of interests in China.

The rise of the Red Alert Corps is not a good thing for them.

What they hope to see is the separatism of Chinese warlords.

When one side is too strong, it will pose a threat to their interests.

So they also began to contact Nanjing.

Hope to achieve a goal by strengthening the national army. A certain balance of power.

However, Jiang Fan did not care much about their actions.

Even if they went on an expedition, they could not change the outcome.

After taking Lushun, it also meant that he had recovered the entire Northeast.

He could also relax and develop people's livelihood.

Next, he could implement the next two plans.

The first was to launch an offensive against the Choshin Peninsula.

Make it a meat grinder for the Japanese army and complete the base upgrade task.

The second plan was the Sunset Plan for the Japanese mainland.

Although he had no way to destroy Xiao Rizi now, nor could he land on its mainland.
