Just when Nogi Nogi was sighing at the power of the bear, an adjutant walked into the command room with a heavy face.
Ta-ta-ta!
Nogi Nogi woke up from the sound of footsteps and turned to look at the adjutant. When he saw the look on the adjutant's face, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Did another accident happen on the front line?
It has been more than half a year since the attack on Port Arthur. At the beginning of the war, the Japanese had three divisions, two reserve regiments, and two field artillery regiments, totaling 56,000 people.
With such a powerful force, Nogi Nogi thought that he should be able to easily capture Port Arthur. Who would have thought that half a year later, the Japanese had invested hundreds of thousands of troops, with a total of more than 40,000 killed and countless injured.
Now the soldiers of the Third Army have been replaced over and over again, but they still have not been able to capture Port Arthur.
What is even more frightening is that the discord between the Japanese navy and army has become a tradition, and the third army is on an expedition to other countries, and its logistics supplies are all provided by the navy.
Therefore, when he saw the adjutant's unhappy expression, Nogi Nogi was afraid that another accident would happen.
"Commander, there is a battle report coming from the front..."
Having said this, a trace of hesitation flashed across the adjutant's face, because the news that followed was too cruel to Nogi Nogi, and he was worried that the commander would not be able to bear it.
Seeing that the adjutant was hesitant to speak, Nogi Noriki's face darkened.
"Um?"
The adjutant looked sad and said: "The battle report came from the front, Lieutenant Nogi Bodenou has served His Majesty the Emperor with all his loyalty!"
Hearing the news, Nogi Nogi's whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his heart felt like a knife, and his eyes widened.
Nogi Boden was his second son and his last son. His eldest son had just been killed in battle not long ago. Unexpectedly, his second son also followed his eldest son.
On the other side, the adjutant glanced at Nogi Nogi secretly, not even daring to take a breath.
However, Nogi Nogi's reaction was a bit unexpected by the adjutant. He quickly adjusted his emotions and acted very calmly.
"I understand, you go down first."
"Hi!"
The adjutant saluted with a military salute and slowly exited the command room.
After the adjutant left, Nogi Nogi was the only one left in the huge room. At this moment, he finally couldn't hold himself any longer and instantly collapsed on his seat.
boom!
boom!
I don't know how much time passed before Nogi Nogi was awakened by the sound of gunfire from the outside world.
…
…
…
At the same time, taking advantage of the darkness, Li Jie took Xia Yuanzhang to the outskirts of Lushun. Listening to the sound of gunfire coming from the distance, Xia Yuanzhang looked extremely bitter at this time.
Because he knew that under the current circumstances, they would never be able to enter the city.
Not being able to enter the city meant that he could not pick up his wife and daughter. What made him even more worried was the safety of his family in the city.
Facing such fierce artillery fire, it is conceivable that the city must be in ruins. In addition, the Japanese have besieged Lushun for a long time, and the city may have run out of food.
"Brother Xia, the fighting between Japan and Russia is too fierce. I can't take you the rest of the way. How about this? You go back first. I'm looking for an opportunity to see if there is any way to find out what's inside the city.
situation."
Xia Yuanzhang glanced at the burning city of Lushun, and then glanced at Li Jie.
"Little brother, thank you, but it's too dangerous ahead. I think it's better not to go."
"It's okay, I'll just take a look from a distance."
Of course Li Jie would not agree. He would have to touch the Japanese headquarters later. If he went back now, where would he have a chance?
Hearing these words, Xia Yuanzhang suddenly felt a deep sense of gratitude in his heart.
After all, the two of them just met by chance, and 'Brother Zhu' actually went deep into such a dangerous battlefield for himself. Even though he has been in the business world for a long time, he couldn't help but be a little moved.
After hesitating for a moment, Xia Yuanzhang said with concern.
"Then, little brother, be careful!"
At the same time, Xia Yuanzhang secretly made up his mind. If they could reach Yuanbao Town safely, no matter whether Li Jie could help him pick up his family, he would not break his promise. Not only would he not break his promise, he would also give him the best.
The finest fields!
Li Jie smiled and nodded: "I know, Brother Xia, just go back first and I'll go take a look in front."
Although he had only entered the dungeon not long ago, with his rich experience and amazing spiritual awareness, he still dared to break into this kind of war zone.
Xia Yuanzhang was not the kind of person who looked after his mother-in-law. After a while, he was on his way back alone.
Afterwards, Li Jie was the only one left at the scene. After getting rid of Xia Yuanzhang as a 'burden', he could finally break into the war zone unscrupulously.
The Battle of Lushun was one of the iconic battles in Asia at the beginning of the 20th century. When entering the dungeon, Li Jie naturally did not forget to collect detailed information about the battle.
I'm afraid no one knows this battle better than him.
About an hour later, based on the information reviewed by later generations, Li Jie successfully found the location of the Japanese military headquarters.
Although the Japanese command post was very concealed and the internal defense was very thorough, in front of Li Jie, the master of stealth, such a little defense was still not enough.
With almost no effort, Li Jie avoided all the sentries and reached the vicinity of the headquarters.
In the dark night, looking at the brightly lit headquarters, Li Jie waited patiently for an opportunity, an opportunity to get close to the headquarters.
Tick!
Tick!
Time passed slowly, and it was late at night before you knew it. At this time, the sound of artillery fire in the distance gradually changed from dense to sparse, and the flow of people coming in and out of the headquarters was also much less.
After all, people are not machines and they always need a moment to rest. Moreover, Japan and Russia have been fighting for several months, and most people have been exhausted by this long offensive and defensive battle.
Tick!
Tick!
As the sound of artillery fire on the front line became smaller and smaller, the officers of the headquarters tacitly agreed to leave enough personal space for Nogi Nogi.
The news of the death of the commander's second son had already spread throughout the headquarters, although the commander acted very calmly, as if he was not affected in any way.
But the eldest son and the second son were broken into pieces one after another. If you think about it with your toes, you can tell that the commander must be extremely sad in his heart. It was only because of the responsibility of the soldiers that the commander forcibly suppressed the sadness in his heart.
After finally waiting for the battlefield to calm down, everyone felt that it was time for the commander to take a good rest.
On the other side, Li Jie, who was hiding in the shadows, keenly discovered the anomaly in the headquarters.
Seeing one officer after another come out of the headquarters, Li Jie found that only Nogi Nogi Nogi was left in the huge headquarters!
This is simply a God-given opportunity!
Originally, he was just planning to visit some places this time. Who would have thought that the opportunity would come so suddenly!
