Another World: Naval Storm

Chapter 43 Death Squadron

大本营提供的支援已经到位,乃木希典鉴于前几次的失败,开始集中所有的340门大炮布置于打米庄、角山、长山一线,准备在进攻前进行短促而充分的炮火准备。经过10天的部署,乃木希典命令各炮各自选择攻击目标,对203高地各处进行炮火覆盖,在其后的时间里,203高地承受了榴弹3万2千多发、榴霰弹1万多发、小口径炮弹23万余发。炮弹呼啸着从空中划过,直飞罗刹守军阵地。随着阵阵猛烈的爆炸声,罗刹守军防守的203高地上的士兵伤亡惨重,堑壕被填满,城墙被夷为平地,很多火力点也被炸毁。

"Puh, puh, puh!" The Rakshasa soldier covered with mud raised his head and shook off the mud on his body.

The stunned Rakshasa soldiers regained consciousness one by one, and began to collect usable weapons and ammunition and to place their dead companions in a safe place.

"Hurry up and collect all the ammunition you can!"

"We need to repair the fortifications quickly. The Japanese won't give us much time!" The Rakshasa officer tried to gather as many people as possible to repair the dilapidated fortress, but with limited resources at hand, he could only make simple repairs.

27日夜,倭军对203高地的夜袭开始了全面进攻,203高地前战斗异常激烈,倭军士兵一茬茬死去。28日,乃木希典命令第1师团、第1旅团从东北、北、西北方向全部投入战斗。

"The yellow-skinned dwarfs just don't know their lesson. They will get their heads broken and bloodied against our iron wall." Kontrachenko wanted to cheer everyone up.

"General, their artillery fire is too fierce and the morale of the troops is very low. Are we going to fail?" a colonel whispered.

"At this moment, I can only sacrifice my life for my country. Don't say anything more. If things cannot be violated, I allow you to surrender, but before that, please continue to fight!" Kontrachenko said in a deep voice.

Kontracenko misjudged the battlefield situation this time, thinking that the Japanese attack on Hill 203 was just a "feint" to cooperate with the Japanese attack on East Jiguan Mountain. On the 29th, the Japanese 1st Division attacked the hill from the direction of Changshan, and Hill 203 was in danger! Only then did Kontracenko wake up and immediately transferred the reserve troops from the direction of East Jiguan Mountain to launch a counterattack. Because the Japanese reinforcements did not keep up, after several hours of fierce fighting, the hill was recaptured by the Russian army.

The Manchurian Expeditionary Force Headquarters was very annoyed after learning about the battle situation on the 29th. On June 6, Commander Oyama Iwao sent Chief of the General Staff General Tachimi Naofumi to Maishin to hand over Commander Oyama Iwao's order.

"General Nogi Maresuke, Commander Oyama Iwao orders you to return to your homeland. Your body needs rest!" General Tachimi Naofumi ignored the other officers of the Japanese 3rd Army and announced the order to Nogi Maresuke alone, hoping that he would leave in a dignified manner.

"I will hand over the command of the 3rd Army to you, but please allow me to fight with the troops! I will not rest in peace until I capture Ma Ishijin! Please!" Nogi Maresuke said miserably.

"I don't have the right to keep you, but I also don't have the right to drive you away!" Tachimiya Naofumi answered ambiguously.

"Thank you!"

第一师团在6月3日改变攻击方向,试图尝试着绕过203高地正面从西北方向(203高地背面)展开进攻,这次尝试没有取得任何效果,但牵制了部分罗刹守军,争取了些许时间。倭军第1旅团得以在203高地火线正面全线展开。倭军倾全军之力鏖战,最后搏斗的时刻到来了,倭国的命运全在那些蜂拥向前作自杀性进攻的倭军士兵身上。

"Long live the Emperor!" "Long live the Emperor!"

“Long live!” “Long live!” “Charge!!!”

During these few days, the Japanese army attacked Hill 203 day and night. Under the dense hail of bullets from the Russian defenders, many Japanese soldiers were knocked down in front of the Russian defenders' positions before they could even fire a shot. The desperate attack of the Japanese army turned the front position of Hill 203 into a scorched earth covered with torn pieces of clothes, incomplete corpses and broken shrapnel.

“Mom and Dad…” A young soldier was lying in a puddle, his life fading away as his mumblings became increasingly quiet.

"Jia Zi...can't go...back..."

"Save me, save me!" The wounded soldier with his leg blown off crawled backwards while dragging his broken leg.

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!" The wounded soldier who fell to the ground was shot dead by his own soldiers behind him without saying a word.

"Remember, they are beyond saving, free them!" a lieutenant colonel who had taken back his rifle ordered sternly.

During the war, the Luosha defenders used the wounded soldiers to lure the Japanese soldiers to rescue them many times, killing more Japanese soldiers. The blood of the Japanese soldiers even dyed the entire hillside into a bloody dark red, and later the Japanese called this hillside the Red Slope.

"General Nogi Maresuke, you are an imperial general, not a brave and fierce ronin!" Tachimi Naofumi looked at Nogi Maresuke with a headache, who was standing in front of a group of Japanese suicide squad members with a roll on his head and a Japanese sword in his hand.

"Tachimiya-kun, I'm just an imperial soldier now! Please give the orders!" Nogi Maresuke's words made the death squad members behind him feel like they were injected with chicken blood, and they looked at Nogi Maresuke like a god.

Seeing this, Tachimi Naofumi had to arrange a few more guards to follow Nogi Maresuke. As night fell, Hill 203 was temporarily quieted down with a strong smell of blood. Under the personal deployment of General Tachimi Naofumi, the suicide squad composed of non-commissioned officers of the 4th Reserve Brigade, who suffered too many casualties, wrapped their heads in white towels, their snow-white shirts were tied around their waists with black belts, and each of them held a shiny Japanese sword.

Led by a fanatical militarist like Nogi Maresuke, the Japanese army launched four large-scale attacks. Groups of death squads rushed to the machine gun fortress of the Rakshasa defenders with their flesh and blood. Nogi Maresuke waved his saber and shouted to the death squads running by: "Every trapped Rakshasa soldier who dies is one less! But the empire's soldiers are endless!"

拼死冲过了203高地正面的“红坡”,在倭国第22工兵中队的协助下,前几天由几千人的尸体换来的埋在203高地核心工事前的的3吨炸药被引爆!震天动天的巨响之后,尸体和工事的残骸被抛向空中,203高地的防线出现了一处大的缺口,剩下的敢死队员们不顾一切地呐喊着从缺口处猛冲上203高地。
