"Your Excellency Division Commander, the Russians are on guard. We gathered heavy troops in the area of Wafangdian. The chief of staff of the 14th Infantry Regiment, Yoshiaki Takahashi, reported.

Lieutenant General Mitsuharu Tsuchiya, commander of the 14th Infantry Division, had a very ugly face.

"Yaga! The Russians reacted too quickly, and if we wanted to raid the Shahe line, I am afraid it would be difficult to do so. The 53rd, 54th, 55th, and 56th Infantry Wings were ordered to quickly enter the offensive. 14th Wing of Field Artillery, 14th Regiment of Field Heavy Artillery, artillery to suppress the Russians! Lieutenant General Mitsuharu Tsuchiya gave the order.

Although it was impossible to raid the Shahe defense line, this made the next ~ battle even more difficult.

However, Lieutenant General Mitsuharu Tsuchiya simply had no other choice.

General Nozu Michikan took this operation very seriously, and before the 14th Infantry Regiment set out, General Nozu Michiseki summoned Lieutenant General Tsuchiya Mitsuharu and asked him to do his best in the following battle. Even the victory or defeat of the Fourth Army and even the entire battle of the Liaodong Peninsula was pinned on the 14th Infantry Regiment.

This naturally made Lieutenant General Tsuchiya Mitsuharu feel great pressure.

He had also made up his mind that in order to win, even if the entire 14th Infantry Division was wiped out, he would not hesitate.

"Hi, Your Excellency Division Commander!" Takahashi Yoshiaki Daisaku replied.

Soon, the attack of the 14th Infantry Regiment of the Toyo Army began.

The 14-mm Trinity field guns of the 5475th Field Artillery Regiment, the 14-mm Krupp howitzers of the 18th Field Heavy Artillery Regiment, opened heavy fire and poured shells on the Russian defense lines.

But then they were counterattacked by the artillery of the Russian army.

Forty-eight 75-mm field guns from two artillery battalions, plus artillery batteries from two infantry regiments, totaling 12 75-mm field guns, 24 75-mm field guns from the artillery battalion of the 6th Cavalry Brigade, 24,105-mm light howitzers from a 105-mm light howitzer battalion, and 24,155-mm heavy howitzers from a battalion of 155-mm heavy howitzers, were all put into attack.

At this time, the Russian army assembled 8475 mm field guns, 24 105 mm light howitzers and 24155 mm heavy howitzers.

This put the 14th Infantry Regiment of the Toyo Army at a complete disadvantage in terms of artillery.

Despite their best efforts of the 14th Field Artillery Group and the 14th Field Heavy Artillery Group, they could not compete with the Russian artillery. It is even more impossible to destroy those fire points on the Russian defense line.

It can be said that in this battle, the disadvantages of the Eastern Army in artillery were too obvious, and the losses were too great.

As a last resort, four infantry wings of the 14th Infantry Regiment of the Toyo Army had to attack without fire support.

A large number of Oriental infantry, braving the heavy artillery fire of the Russian army, launched a charge on the Russian defense line.

"Knock knock! Tap-Tap! "

Mortars and heavy machine guns on the Russian defense line opened fire wildly, and the dense fire wantonly harvested the lives of these Eastern soldiers.

No matter how brave they are, they are flesh and blood, and they are not invulnerable.

Hit by bullets, still killed.

If you are hit by a shell, you will be blown to pieces.

The attack of the 14th Infantry Regiment of the Toyo Army on Wafangdian did not achieve any results, but caused great losses to itself.

Even though Lieutenant General Tsuchiya Mitsuharu issued a stern order that the troops involved in the attack were not allowed to retreat, but could only move forward.

However, there was no other way but to make them pay more casualties themselves and make the Russian army consume a lot of ammunition.

Of course, if the time drags on a little longer, it may cause great trouble for the Russian army.

After all, the Great Stone Bridge is in the midst of a fierce battle, and the railway line has been cut off. As a result, the Russian army stationed on the Liaodong Peninsula has lost supplies.

However, the 6th Army of the Tsarist Army has long been ready. Even before the outbreak of war, the 6th Army had stockpiled large quantities of combat materiel on the Liaodong Peninsula. The Lushun Fortress and the Shahe Defense Line are key places.

The Russian army will naturally focus on storing materials in these two places. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

This allowed the Russian army to hold out for a long time, even if the supply lines were cut off.

The Eastern Army wants to crush the Russian Army in a short period of time by consuming the ammunition and other combat materials of the Russian army, which is simply delusional.

The 14th Infantry Regiment of the Eastern Army failed in its raid and failed to cooperate with the Second Army of the Eastern Army to break the Shahe Line of the Russian army.

This brought the war on the Liaodong Peninsula to a stalemate again.

Although, the Eastern Army is still on the offensive. However, their losses are growing.

As losses soared, so did the attack power of their troops.

In addition, the longer the time dragged on, the more beneficial it would be for the Russian army.

The original plan of the Eastern Army in this war seems to have been bankrupt.

Toyo Empire, Dongkyo, Imperial Palace.

Ming Zhi Tianhuang was furious after reading the battle report on the front line.

"Yaga! A bunch of waste, rice buckets! What the hell are they doing? It has been a month since the war began, and the Imperial Navy did not take out the main forces of the Pacific Fleet of the Russians. On the battlefield, the Imperial Army also did not have the slightest achievement, but paid heavy losses. How can this battle continue? "Ming Zhi Tianhuang's whole person is under the wrath.

This was completely different from the predictions he had heard about the war before the war!

Before the war, both cabinet ministers and senior military officials told him that the Russians were vulnerable. Once the war begins, the Eastern Army and Navy will be in full swing, easily defeating the Russians and winning the war.

And the Eastern Empire was able to step on the body of the Russians and successfully become one of the world's great powers.

This made Ming Zhi Tianhuang always dream, thinking that he would soon be able to become the monarch of a world-class power.

But now, the dream wakes up, and everything is illusory.

With such a big gap, Ming Zhi Tianhuang naturally couldn't accept it.

Prime Minister Gen. Katsura Taro, Minister of War Vice Admiral Masatakeshi Terauchi, and Minister of the Navy Vice Admiral Yamamoto Gonbei knelt on the ground, bowed their heads, and did not say a word, allowing Ming Zhi Tianhuang to drench the blood of the dogs they scolded, and did not dare to refute a word.

Although, Tianhuang has no actual power, he is just a puppet.

But Ming Zhi Tianhuang had great influence in the entire Eastern Empire, and even the cabinet and military did not dare to disobey his will.

What's more, this time it was indeed their loss. Who let the army behave so badly on the battlefield?
