The Russian army directly told the Japanese army that the decisive battle between them had begun.

Faced with the overwhelming artillery fire of the Russian army, several artillery regiments arranged by the Japanese army on the front line immediately launched a counterattack.

However, as soon as they fired the artillery and exposed their target, they were targeted by other artillery soldiers that the Russian army had to prepare.

Finally, the three Japanese artillery corps were devastatingly hit by the Russian artillery troops without even firing out four rounds of shells.

As for the artillery corps arranged by the Japanese army behind, they could only counterattack after at least twenty minutes because they were not prepared.

Twenty minutes were enough for the Russian artillery to deal a devastating blow to the Japanese front-line defenders.

The three Japanese defenders had more than 40,000 troops, and nearly 4,000 people were lost in the firefighting conflict for several consecutive months.

He just blocked the attack of three main divisions of the Russian army and lost more than 2,000 men again.

In the counterattack against the Russian army, nearly 5,000 people were killed and injured by artillery shells.

In this way, the total strength of the Japanese defenders on the front-line positions was only a little over 30,000.

However, these 30,000 defenders had to withstand the continuous attacks of the Three Kingdoms by the Russian army.

More than 200 artillery pieces, with a firing speed of more than 1,000 shells per minute, were continuously firing shells at the Japanese positions.

Ten minutes later, the Japanese army's defense line that stretched for more than ten kilometers had been bombarded by more than 10,000 artillery shells.

At first glance, the trench like a dragon was blown up to an extreme.

A little over 30,000 defenders were bombed in just ten minutes, with more than 19,000 remaining, including almost two or three thousand minor and serious wounded.

Faced with this situation, the Russian army decisively extended artillery fire. The infantry pushed forward and launched a final attack on the Japanese front-line positions.

When the Japanese rear artillery troops joined the battle one after another and began to engage in artillery wars with the Russian artillery.

The Russian army of tens of thousands of people has broken through the firepower interception, and more than 10,000 Japanese troops are fighting together.

Although the Japanese army had good stunt fighting skills, if they were to fight one-on-one, almost no Russians were the opponents.

What they are facing now is not a one-on-one challenge.

In front of the Russians with absolute military strength, no matter how powerful the Japanese army is, they can't beat four hands with two fists.

The Japanese troops defending the second-line position, before the reinforcements arrived at the battlefield, they encountered the defeated soldiers on the front line and received the latest battle report.

More than 40,000 defenders on the front line, except for less than 5,000 lucky escape from the battlefield, nearly 40,000 other troops were all wiped out.

The Russian army suddenly launched a decisive battle. It caught the Japanese army off guard, causing the Japanese army to lose nearly 40,000 people in three divisions. However, the Russian army's losses were not much better.

Nearly 20,000 people were lost, especially in the final battle with the Japanese army, nearly 10,000 people fell under the Japanese bayonet.

Perhaps because the troops suffered too much losses, the Russian army, which won a small game, did not continue to attack.

The Japanese reinforcements, which were about to arrive at the battlefield, did not launch a counterattack while the Japanese army had not yet established a stable position and regained the front line.

Both armies seem to be summarizing experience, secretly accumulating strength, and giving the opponent a fatal blow in the next round of decisive battles.

At this time, Yang Xingguo, dozens of kilometers away, also received news of the decisive battle between the Japanese and Russian armies.

According to historical development, the entire decisive battle was a complete defeat in the Russian army.

And in front of us, the Russian army not only did not defeat, but also won a small victory.

Yang Xingguo didn't know whether he was happy or sad about this result that had deviated from the historical track.

So, from the time of receiving the news, Yang Xingguo stared at the map. Based on the news sent back by the Special Forces Detachment, he analyzed the battlefield situation and saw if the battle situation could return to the historical track.

At this time, Sun Lichen, who had received the news, frowned and asked Yang Xingguo.

"Commander, would you say the final winner of this decisive battle be the Russian army... After destroying 40,000 Japanese troops at a cost of 20,000, the Russian army's military strength advantage became even more obvious, and the firepower of both sides was similar, especially the number of artillery..."

Yang Xingguo, who looked thoughtful, immediately replied: "I don't know who wins, but this victory of the Russian army has too many luck and luck."

"As for the firepower of both sides, you are wrong... Although the number of artillery is not much different, the power and caliber of artillery are very different!"

"The Russian army is equipped with almost all mountain field artillery, while the Japanese army's smallest cannons are all field artillery, with great power, howitzers, and even siege cannons. In front of us, both sides are hidden in trenches. If they want to eliminate their opponents from a long distance, they can only rely on artillery."

"The Japanese artillery strength far exceeds that of the Russian army. Even if the Russian army wins a small game now, the final victory is difficult to judge now..."

After thinking about it, Sun Lechen replied: "Commander, you are right. A decisive battle of such a large scale, a small victory cannot determine the outcome..."

"Now we can only wait here for the situation to become clear before we can make a judgment."

Speaking of this, Sun Lechen seemed to have thought of something and continued to ask: "Commander, you have drawn so many troops to get a bargain... Now the troops of the eight regiments have all been in place, and the decisive battle between the Japanese and Russian armies has begun. Should we move too?"

"Don't hold on..." Yang Xingguo vetoed without thinking.

"The Japanese and Russian armies are now the critical moment of the decisive battle. I don't want to affect the entire battle because of me..."

Sun Lichen frowned and continued to ask: "The Japanese side... If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese will definitely send someone here today and let us attack the Russian army from the flank as agreed... " "When the Japanese come, tell him that the time has not come... The time has come, our Liaodong army will naturally take the initiative... They are not capable of fighting the decisive battle with the Russian army now, so they have no energy to take care of us. At most, they will protest, and there will be no impact." Yang Xingguo answered without thinking.

Then, looking at Sun Lechen, who was stunned, continued: "Of course, we did nothing for us to get a bargain and get a smoother one!" " " immediately ordered the special operations detachment on the front line to find out all the artillery positions of the Japanese and Russian armies, including the number, model of artillery, and the situation of the defenders. The faster the better..."

"Commander, you are going to attack the artillery of the Japanese and Russian armies..." Sun Lichen exclaimed subconsciously.

"Of course..." Yang Xingguo answered as if he were rightly so.

"Since we are here to pick up the most important and valuable things first. Otherwise, the things we have worked hard to pick up the cheap will not be enough for our military expenditure!"

"Execute the order immediately... In addition, let the Special Forces Detachment pay close attention to the battlefield situation and report it immediately if there is any news..."

Neither Japanese nor Russians had expected them.

As the protagonist of this decisive battle, as soon as the decisive battle between them began, their artillery was targeted by the third party Liaodong Army.

Of course, they don’t have the time and energy to care about these things now.

Dashanyan, which lost three divisions and lost the front-line positions.

Taking advantage of the Russian army's cessation of the attack, they immediately ordered the troops to prepare for the next attack.
