Lushun Railway Station was first built by the Tsarist Russian garrison in October 1900. It is a red-tiled bungalow, facing the military port in the south, Baiyu Mountain in the east, and Long River in the west. It is a Russian-style building. After the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese wanted to permanently occupy Lushun.
, completely erasing the imprint of Tsarist Russia on Lushun, and built the current railway station opposite the Lushun Railway Station built by Tsarist Russia, using the drawings of the new Lushun Railway Station that Russia did not have time to build. It is located at the foot of Baiyu Mountain, facing the Long River in the west.
It is adjacent to Lushun Military Port in the south and covers an area of 420 square meters. It is a typical Russian-style wooden bungalow building, facing east and west, and consists of a waiting room, a crew room, a platform corridor, etc. There is a Russian-style iron sheet built in the middle of the top of the main building of the waiting room.
Fishscale Tower.
The Japanese renamed Lushun Railway Station Lushun Station.
In fact, Lushun Railway Station is right next to the Japanese military camp, and the backup railway has been extended into the military camp.
The main defense point of Lushun Railway Station is Baiyu Mountain behind the railway station. This is a small hill with an altitude of only more than 100 meters. There are fortifications built by the Japanese army on the basis of Russian military fortifications. There used to be only one outpost. Now due to the Pacific War and the Eighth Route Army yesterday
During the air raid, the Japanese army strengthened their combat readiness and set up two anti-aircraft firepower points on the hilltop, each with an anti-aircraft machine gun, to cover the station. When the military column pulled up to the station, the Eighth Route Army had already touched down and used knives to kill the Japanese on the hilltop.
The sentry and the two Japs at the anti-aircraft fire point quietly dealt with it. When Zuo Ye ordered the fire support company of the first battalion to set up defenses, they occupied the position on the hilltop of Baiyu Mountain.
The Japanese infantry brigade attacked along the railway from the east of the station where the military camp was located. At first, it was just a tentative attack by a small group. As a result, the little Japs were knocked down one after another amidst the sparse gunfire of the Eighth Route Army. In this way, the Japs brigade leader thought there was a mutiny.
Soldiers should only deploy rifle firepower in this direction. Even machine guns should be deployed in front of the station.
Considering that there was only one squadron of mutinous soldiers, the Japanese captain became ruthless and gave an order. The four squadrons were divided into three waves and launched a strong attack on the small Lushun Station. At the same time, the front of the station was the first to rush to suppress the garrison of mutinous soldiers.
The headquarters guard squadron also joined the battle. It launched a feint attack from the front to contain the mutinous soldiers, and covered the infantry brigade east of the station that was attacking along the railway to launch a thunderous strike.
The Japanese infantry brigade launched an all-out attack along the reserve railway of Lushun Railway Station, and hit the heavy firepower of the fire support company of the first battalion on the hilltop of Baiyu Mountain. Because Zuo Ye strictly ordered not to use rocket launchers, Bayi automatic rifles, submachine guns, and fire support of the first battalion
The company's Type 92 heavy machine gun played the leading role, forming a crossfire, screaming and spitting tongues of fire at the Japanese troops.
The little devils have strict military discipline, and the soldiers have been indoctrinated with the spirit of bushido and loyalty to the emperor by the militarists. They will not take a step back until they are ordered to stop attacking. These soldiers have never been on the battlefield and do not know "
How do you write the word "die" for Japanese soldiers? Amid the roars of the officers, they shouted and bravely charged against the rain of bullets splashed by the Eighth Route Army's heavy machine guns.
Wen Shengwu, commander of the fire support company of the first battalion, looked at the charging formation of the Japs with a sneer on his lips, and calmly directed the two heavy machine gun platoons to open fire.
As soon as the Japanese captain saw the heavy machine gun firing on the hilltop, he knew he had underestimated the enemy and made a mistake in judgment. Too bad, he hurriedly ordered the infantry artillery battalion to be pushed up, occupied the position, bombarded the damn machine gun position on the hilltop, and covered the infantry to turn to the front.
Capture the hilltop and seize the commanding heights.
Now that artillery was about to be used, the first attack of the Japanese infantry brigade came to an abrupt end. In just a moment, under the cross fire of the Eighth Route Army's heavy machine guns, the Japanese infantry squadron rushing at the front dropped eight or nine
Ten corpses.
As soon as Zuo Ye saw that the arms on the military column were almost finished unloading, he ordered the unloading to stop, and sent a squad of soldiers to escort the military column, so that the military column could quickly return to Jinzhou to strive for more transportation and rapid transportation of reinforcements. He knew that with his own strength,
It is difficult to defend Lushun Railway Station with only a small amount of troops. Once the Japanese army finds out that it is not the mutinous soldiers who have occupied the station but the Eighth Route Army that has captured Lushun Station, the Japs will bombard it with heavy artillery. In that case, their own troops will not be enough to fortify the Lushun Fortress.
Boom. Because this is a permanent fortress, the Japs have many heavy artillery, large caliber, and naturally very powerful.
Vice Admiral Kobayashi is an old man. When he saw the mutinous soldiers occupying the hilltop of Baiyu Mountain, controlling the commanding heights, and using heavy machine guns to deal with his infantry brigade, he knew that he was in trouble. He stroked his mustache and said to a Japanese officer next to him.
To: "The Kwantung Army's combat effectiveness is well-deserved. These soldiers are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. They know how to seize the hills and use heavy machine guns to deal with our attacks."
The Japanese officer hurriedly lowered his head and said "Hai."
Vice Admiral Kobayashi was much more ruthless than the Japanese infantry captain. Just when the Japanese infantry captain ordered the infantry artillery to be brought up, he decisively ordered another infantry brigade to come over and a heavy artillery brigade to bombard the train.
Standing on the hilltop of Baiyu Mountain behind the station, the heavy machine gun position of the mutinous soldiers was completely destroyed.
Vice Admiral Kobayashi has now determined that the mutinous soldiers are rebels, and he will resolutely eliminate them!
While the Japanese army was waiting for the artillery, the military column completed the U-turn of the locomotives, rumbled out of Lushun Railway Station, and returned along the original route of Lushun-Dalian Railway.
Seeing the military column suddenly leaving Lushun Station, Vice Admiral Xiaolin felt regretful for not blocking the railway to the west of the station in time, trapping the military column here, and allowing the mutinous soldiers to escape.
The Japanese infantry captain was also anxious. He also thought that the mutinous soldiers had escaped on a train. He pointed his sword and ordered the troops to attack quickly and occupy the hilltop and the station.
It's getting lively now. The Japanese infantry brigade in the east is meeting again, and the Japanese garrison headquarters guard squadron opposite the train station is also charging. The little Japanese is going crazy!
If you can't seize this opportunity to severely injure the Japanese, Zuoye will no longer be called Zuoye!
Zuo Ye secretly shouted in his heart that it was a good call, and immediately ordered the first battalion and the fire support battalion of the 64th Regiment to go into battle, and brought the Japanese closer to fight. This time, he wanted to keep the Japanese infantry brigade and all the Japanese in front of the train station.
.
If the Eighth Route Army attacked the Japanese fortifications in Lushun Fortress, we don’t know how many casualties it would have to pay and how long it would take to end the battle successfully. I’m afraid none of the soldiers Zuo Ye brought could return. Now Zuo Ye has attracted the Japanese to
At the Lushun Railway Station, the Eighth Route Army defended and the Japs attacked. The offensive and defensive positions were easy. The Eighth Route Army's light infantry firepower was strong enough, so Zuo Ye naturally wanted to kill the Japs.
The unlucky little devil only thought that the military column had driven away, and that the mutinous soldiers might have escaped in the car, but he did not think that it was a trap. Those who seized the hilltop of Baiyu Mountain and those who seized the train station swarmed up!
Lushun has been at peace for a long time. The combat knowledge of these Japanese garrison soldiers comes from infantry drills. This battle is likely to be their maiden battle. If it were the Shandong Japanese field division that had fought against the Eighth Route Army for a long time, it would definitely not be possible.
If they do this, they will carefully send three to five soldiers to search and confirm that the mutinous soldiers have indeed escaped, and then they may enter the station.
On one side are the Japanese garrison who have never fought on the battlefield. On the other side are the elites who have been fighting on the anti-Japanese battlefield for several years. On the one side is the menacing black blind man. On the other side, the trap has been dug and is waiting for the black blind man to enter.
Jumping hunter!
Lushun Railway Station is such a small place, and the little devils are running like crazy. Those who are facing the front quickly rush to the front of the station, and are about to rush in from the entrance; those who are attacking along the railway have already rushed into the station.
Even the little devil, who was the slowest climber and ran towards the top of the hill, was already panting halfway up the mountain and saw that the top of the mountain was already in sight.
At this moment, the Eighth Route Army started!
The first unlucky ones were the little devils who had worked so hard to climb halfway up the mountain. They were working hard to climb. Suddenly, a group of grenades flew up from the trench in front of them that had been motionless.
It fell towards the Japs' heads on the hillside. Immediately afterwards, the black machine gun muzzle was exposed from the empty bunker's perforation on the top of the mountain, and it opened towards the Japs. It would be okay if this was a machine gun, but unfortunately it wasn't.
, the black muzzle of the Type 92 heavy machine gun was exposed from several hidden bunkers built by the Japanese army halfway up the mountain, clicking, clicking, clicking, spraying ammunition towards the Japanese troops.
The first battalion fire support company has a grenade platoon, a 60 mortar platoon, two heavy machine gun platoons, and a rocket launcher platoon. It is the standard configuration of the battalion fire support company of the main force after the reorganization of the Shandong Eighth Route Army. It is just**
, a heavy machine gun platoon of the Japanese army has two heavy machine guns, or at most three, while the Shandong Eighth Route Army has equipped its heavy machine gun squad with two heavy machine guns since the Battle of Xikou during the Red Army period. A battalion fire support company has two heavy machine guns.
The heavy machine gun platoon consisted of 12 heavy machine guns. When all of them opened fire, the little Japanese who occupied the top of the hill were all enveloped in the firepower net of the Eighth Route Army's heavy machine guns.
The little devil dances under machine gun fire!
The Japanese who rushed into the train station were even more unlucky. They encountered stronger firepower, including light and heavy machine guns and rifles.
The little devils who rushed to the station were originally very excited, because they could not see the situation in the station through the row of Russian-style buildings at the train station. They were eager to rush in to see if there were any mutinous soldiers in the station.
, didn't care about anything else. They didn't even notice a row of machine guns suddenly sticking out of the windows of those wooden buildings. They just screamed and rushed forward. Until the Eighth Route Army's machine guns rang out like beans, and bullets came pouring over.
After helping the damn little devil, I thought: Oh, this is what it feels like to die for His Majesty the Emperor! (To be continued)
