Just half an hour after the attacking regiment led by Guo Zi'an launched an attack on Wangjiahezi, the main force of the 57th Division finally arrived at the city of Gaizhou and launched a strong attack on the county town stationed by the 18th Regiment of the Japanese Third Division.

The geographical location of Gaizhou is very important because most of the low mountains and hills are low. To the north is the territory of the Republic of China, and to the south is the so-called "Kanto Prefecture" hinterland occupied and separatist by Japan. In terms of strategy, if the Japanese could firmly defend Gaizhou, they could block the main force of the First Defense Army north of Kanto Prefecture. If the Republic of China grasped this place, they could march straight into the Liaodong Peninsula.

Since ancient times, Gaizhou has been a must-fight for military strategists. In the late Ming Dynasty, the control of Gaizhou was surrounded by the control of Gaizhou. The Ming army and the Qing army had a fierce tug-of-war in this area. When the Qing army controlled Gaizhou, the Ming army completely lost control of the Liaodong Peninsula and could no longer form a double-corner to restrain the Qing army's spices and attack in the western region. After the Eight Banners entered the pass, they attached great importance to Gaizhou. There were heavy troops stationed here, and the Shengjing garrison general was directly responsible for the defense of Gaizhou. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, a war broke out in the Gaizhou area. When the Qing army completely withdrew from Gaizhou half, it also meant that the Liaodong Peninsula was completely lost. As expected, the Qing court later collected the remaining defeated generals and could only concentrate on the Jinzhou area, barely preventing the Japanese army from invading Shanhaiguan from the Liaoxi Corridor and entering the Beijing-Tianjin area.

After Japan controlled the Gaizhou area, out of contempt for the Qing Dynasty's military power, it did not value the military importance of the place at first. It only stationed an infantry brigade here, and several mountain cannons were used to deter the Qing Dynasty.

After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, facing the chaos in the Northeast. At that time, the Governor of Kanto Yoshima Oshima realized the opportunity to interfere in the Northeast affairs of the Republic of China, so he increased the military stationed in Gaizhou to two infantry brigades, and then sent one machine gun team and one artillery team, staring at the northeast region.

Liu Jing'an, the commander of the 57th Division, was born in the new army. He was from Zhejiang, and his family was rich. He traveled to Japan to study with the help of his uncle in his early years. After returning to China, he joined the new army. When the Revolution of 1911 broke out, he was already in charge of the first battalion with his own abilities and family management. When the Revolution of 1911 broke out, he was the first person to respond to Zhejiang. Unfortunately, under the suppression of the governor of Zhejiang Zhu Rui, he lived a poor life. It was not until Li Han annexed Zhejiang that he had a place to use his skills. After Li Han took over the national regime, the National Defense Force entered a stage of great development. The large demand for high-quality officers made Liu Jing'an rise steadily. Over the years, he accompanied the National Defense Forces to fight south and north, and gradually changed from a battalion to the current commander of the First Division.

Gaizhou is not easy to fight!

As a permanent force stationed in Jinzhou, Liu Jing'an was also one of the senior generals. Naturally, he had heard some rumors and knew that the country would take back the Liaodong Peninsula sooner or later. However, before the war, Liu Jing'an studied the Liaodong Peninsula and was also a little aware of the complexity of Gaizhou. But when he really started, he felt even more troublesome.

Although the Gaizhou County is not a Xiongcheng or a fortress, as the second-line hub in the direction of the Liaodong Peninsula in Japan, it has been built with cement and steel in the past few years. There is only one 18th Regiment opposite. In terms of force, the 57th Division is almost four times that of them. However, the Japanese soldiers are very tenacious in fighting. The Third Division where the 18th Regiment is located is one of the elites. In addition, there is a city to defend, so it is not easy to capture Gaizhou in the shortest time.

After learning that Wang Jiahezi had been taken down, Liu Jingan had already understood that the Japanese might have known the news that they were coming, so he had no intention of concealing it. He directly led the large army and rushed all the way to the city of Gaizhou with a mighty momentum.

After discovering that there were hilly peaks around it, and the Japanese gave up their scattered forces and directions outside the city, retreated all back to the city and several nearby mountains to defend. At the command of Liu Jing'an, the 57th Division quickly set off at the hem of the Gaizhou City and immediately established artillery positions on the nearby hills, preparing to suppress the Japanese artillery fire on the other side. As the main force of the offensive, the 57th Division specially strengthened the artillery force for the division before the war. In addition to the 75-mm mountain cannon and field artillery that were originally equipped, the troops have now strengthened a heavy artillery battalion, equipped with eight 128-mm heavy howitzers, and have supporting automobile companies, and mule and horse teams provide logistics supplies.

Of course, the heavy howitzers are too heavy and cannot be pulled up to the mountain to establish positions. They can only choose a safe area to build positions near the city. Although the front line is far away, the heavy howitzers have a long range, which can easily suppress the Japanese artillery in the city. After the construction of the artillery position was completed, Liu Jing'an immediately sent a call signal to the Land Airlines through a dedicated radio, asking them to send planes to cooperate with the 57th Division to attack Gaizhou.

Everything was done step by step. As a quasi-front force in the 57th Division, it has fought dozens of battles in the past few years, and the hospital quality is still very good. Liu Jing'an is not worried that the troops will not be as good as the Japanese. What he is worried about is whether he can take down Gaizhou within the time specified above to support the engineering team in the rear to repair the railway to supply materials to the front line.

The preparations for the 57th Division were still ongoing. One by one, the shells and bullets were unloaded from the mule and horse carriage and moved to a place where they could touch them at first and second lines. Everyone felt the dullness before the war, and everyone knew that soon, they would launch a strong attack on the small county town.

It was a battle between life and death, with no fancy at all. So, they had to be prepared now, and they could not wait until the soldiers had exhausted all the bullets on their bodies, and they found that the supplies were all in the car behind and had not been lifted down.

Soon after,

The roar of the engine came from the sky and walked out of the division headquarters. Liu Jing'an saw dozens of planes flying towards this side. These were planes flying from Haicheng County. Luhang also built a medium-sized airport in Haicheng County. Before the war, there was never a plane there to avoid arousing the vigilance of the Japanese. It was not until the war broke out that all the disguises were taken away immediately and used. The warriors of Luhang, they would cooperate to launch an attack on Gaizhou from the sky as brothers of the 57th Division!

Amid the roaring explosion, the battle for Gaizhou started!

The sun sets and the night begins to rule the earth.

The city of Lushun fell into a terrible silence. The outlines of the huge warships that could be seen in the night of the military port not far away had almost completely disappeared. The whole city was filled with smoke and choking mist, as well as low wails and pain. Looking around, there were ruins everywhere. Since the Japanese announced that they would ban their casual movements, even the foreigners who were as arrogant as the Japanese in Lushun hid in their residences early and looked outside in horror, fearing that the death-seeking bomb would fall on the sky that had begun to blur!

No one expected that China declared war on Japan, and even declared war on its own initiative, and launched a sneak attack on Japan before declaring war!

The Japanese who were not prepared for the slightest loss, and the Japanese could not find any other adjectives to describe their mood at this moment!

Japan, the strongest country in Asia, the superpower with the world's fourth navy, actually fell into a big blow in the hands of the Chinese who repeatedly blackmailed and bullied them. Not only did several ten thousand tons of warships sink into the sea and become a paradise for fish and shrimp. What the Japanese even more unacceptable is that these losses were caused by the air power of the Chinese who completely suppressed the empire from the sky. They only paid a little loss, which forced the empire to swallow such a bitter fruit. However, the terrible thing was just the beginning. Not long after, when the battle report from the Third Division on the front line was sent back, the Japanese realized their failure.

The Jinzhou defense line was bombed by the Chinese people on the whole line, and the losses were heavy. The front-line position was too close to the Republic of China and was also the focus of the Republic of China fighter jets from Fengtian direction, so most of the position was destroyed during the first sneak attack. Not long after that, the losses further increased. Before the Third Division could fire a shot, the defense force of their great enemy was forced to retreat and retreat to the second and third-tier positions to resist the terrain and the city.

The news came back to Lushun, which really shocked many people.

Oshima Yoshima was already in a state of grey face. He had just received the order from the country. This was the third order sent from Tokyo in one day. Especially in the direction of North Korea, the Chinese mobilized two troops to attack the Korean Peninsula by more than 200,000 troops. Three of the five divisions stationed in North Korea have been transferred to the front line, and one division is ready to go to the front line to support at any time. In addition, although there is still a division reserve force left, they cannot provide any help to Liaodong at all, because... the Chinese navy!

Ridiculous, shameful!

The Chinese fleet of existence actually launched a large-scale move, swimming along the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula, and had sunk several Japanese fishing boats and merchant ships, blocking the possibility of Japan's transfer of troops from the Korean Peninsula to support Liaodong. In short, before the domestic naval fleet arrived, they now rely solely on the small ships on the Korean Peninsula on the Liaodong Peninsula, which was not enough to threaten the main warships of the Republic of China.

What made Oshima Yoshima even more embarrassed was that he received two completely different orders from China.

The order from the Prime Minister's Office immediately closed the defense line and ensured that Lushun and Dalian were only required to hold on for a while, using the construction of a fortress to drag down the Republic of China, and at the same time, it also gained time for Japan to dispatch troops and generals, so that the Republic of China would not take the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

However, the orders from the Mainland Prime Minister were completely opposite. The combat power of Tanaka was too confident compared to the army. He gave an example that in the past battles, the ratio of the war loss between the Japanese Army and Chinese soldiers had always been 1:3 or even higher, and in this way, he was able to command the Third Division and the Eighth Division to take the initiative to attack, taking advantage of the best opportunity to declare war this time, he fought to the Northeast in one fell swoop, and even occupied the entire Northeast.

Tanaka Yoichichi told him to let him go. He had contacted the North Korean army and cooperated with the Kanto Prefecture garrison on the Liaodong Peninsula to launch a counterattack. He used the bravery of the imperial warriors as a knife to destroy the Chinese resistance as quickly as possible, and successfully spread the war into the Chinese border.

What's ridiculous is that when he told the mainland prime minister what he had encountered on the Liaodong Peninsula, after he scolded himself in anger, he repeatedly told him to contact the navy as soon as possible and transport more reinforcements to the Liaodong Peninsula.

Oshima Yoshima knew that this would take time, it would take three or five days to get faster, and it would not be possible to complete it even a week or two.

Today's bombing shocked Yoshihara Oshima too much. He was no longer as confident as before. He only needed two or three divisions to sweep the garrison of the Northeast China!

Yes, under the power that tore through the sky, everything on the ground is an unstoppable fish belly, and can be slaughtered!
