This is a Japanese war movie "Two Hundred and Three Highlands"
On the battlefield, what was the craziest sea of people you've ever seen?
In order to take the Russian fortress, fifty thousand Japanese troops did not even want to die, they had to rush to the machine gun hole, tens of thousands of Japanese troops were slaughtered in a crackling, this is like fighting, I look like rushing to reincarnate, and then from morning to night, the speed of fire of the Russian machine guns can not catch up with the speed of the Japanese army. Therefore, the Russian army can only wait on the big killing weapon, mines, cannons, spike traps, and even the torpedoes of the bombing warships are moved out to help the Japanese army ascend to the sky, which is wondering, the charge to send death, should be the characteristics of our Russian army, ah, how the Japanese army is more outrageous?
It turned out that these Japanese troops were cannon fodder for the Russian army's 203 heights in the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, and in order to take this inconspicuous hill, they actually suffered 17,000 casualties, and they had to use human lives to pave the way to attack, and the reason why the Japanese army had to nibble the 203 heights hard was because the Japanese Army could set up artillery here and bomb the Russian ships in lushun port, so as to cooperate with the navy to annihilate the Russian Far East Fleet, and at the same time take the Lushun fortress and lay the foundation for the victory of the Russo-Japanese War. The essence of the Russo-Japanese War was that Japan and Tsarist Russia were vying for the three northeastern provinces and the Korean Peninsula, seizing colonies and spheres of influence, purely imperialist dogs biting dogs, there was no way, at that time the Qing government was the fish on the chopping board, allowing people to fight in their own territory, and whoever won was divided and slaughtered by whom.
When the war began, the Japanese army's target was directed at Lushun, commanded by the commander-in-chief Nogi Yoshinori, and the chief of the general staff, Kodama Gentaro, and the two of them combined, Kodama was full of confidence: Isn't it Lushun? It's easy to take. It turned out that these two people were partners during the Sino-Japanese War, when they only lost more than two hundred people, defeated the Qing army, and captured Dalian Lushun.
Unexpectedly, this time Lushun was built into an impregnable fortress in the hands of the Russians, and this was not the end, the surrounding large and small hills, including the key 203 highland, were also built into fortress groups, and cannons and machine guns were everywhere, strictly guarded. Therefore, the first wave of general offensive launched by the Japanese army was completely sent to death, and was ruthlessly harvested by the Russian machine gun cannons, and the Japanese army was either shot into honeycomb coal or blown up into gunpowder ash, and in the blink of an eye, the battlefield in front of Nogi was instantly covered with Japanese corpses, and the battle reports in the ears were either completely destroyed by this division or the squadron died.
Nogi's eyes were straight in an instant, he had experienced hundreds of battles, he knew that such a fight was purely a white send, and hurriedly ordered the stop of the strong attack, but Nogi suddenly saw that among the corpses of the Japanese army scattered throughout the mountains, there was actually a small team of lone troops surviving, and they were still attacking forward despite the total destruction of their own army, and a few bombs destroyed the Russian bunkers, and Nogi was immediately moved by them, so he ordered the whole army to continue to attack, learn from this lone army, and bravely move forward.
In this way, countless Japanese troops continued to die and sacrifice in this way, the Japanese army attacked from morning to night, and as a result fell off a cliff more than ten meters high, fell to the trap of the Russian army, the heart of the Russian army was fierce but not covered, the trap was actually full of spiked wooden stakes, the Japanese army was all worn into meat skewers, next to countless machine gun holes, the Russian army turned on the searchlight, it used the light to shoot wildly, and brutally killed the Japanese army. In the artillery fire, countless Japanese troops burned into burning people, and one Japanese soldier even shouted and scolded, dragging the barrel of the Russian machine gun, but still could not stop it, and the surrounding comrades were slaughtered by all the tragic.
In this way, the first wave of the Japanese general offensive was completely defeated, the five companies of more than 10,000 people were completely destroyed, only a hill outside the 203 heights was laid, and the Japanese soldiers not only became defeated dogs Morale was low, but also became chickens in the soup, shrunk in the trenches, and ate in the heavy rain to fill the hunger of the group, and halfway through eating, they suddenly found that the rice balls were soaked with battlefield blood and vomited out in an instant.
And a trumpeter, who had been seriously injured and lost both legs, actually blew the attack horn alone at the last moment of his life, and in the elegy of mourning this attack, he passed away in a long time, and a soldier who was burned to the point of no human form even crawled out of the pile of dead people, and he murmured: Around this Lushun fortress, it has become a haunted house hell. As soon as the words fell, he was found and shot by the Russian army, and seeing that the direct charge had failed, Nogi sent troops to infiltrate the surprise attack, ordering that he should not stop in the middle of the way, and the Russian army must penetrate all the way to the rear of the Russian fortress group, so as to achieve division and encirclement.
The surprise attack troops took advantage of the night to go out, unexpectedly, by the Russian searchlights found instantly, the Russian army immediately greeted the machine gun, the Japanese army could not fight back, the result was all beaten into a sieve, which is the infiltration of the surprise attack, completely became a door to the door, the front line lost, even if the more fatal is the Japanese army ammunition is limited, especially the number of artillery is insufficient, it is impossible to support the full line of attack, and because the long-term attack brigade can not go down, so the supply is difficult.
Therefore, the staff officers around Nogi were all anxious and clamoring about how to fight, at this time, Nogi forced everyone to abandon the full line of attack, and the main attack on the 203 heights, so as to open the sea supply line as soon as possible, the Japanese army transferred all the artillery, bombarded the 203 heights, tilted more than 10,000 shells, cut the mountain to a height of three meters, but the Russian army still stubbornly returned fire, the Japanese army attacked by the former servants and the Japanese army, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, and could not take it.
Even Nogi's youngest son was killed here, and when Nogi learned the bad news, his hands trembled with grief. It turned out that Nogi's eldest son had just died in battle during the attack on Lushun the other day, and now his two sons were both killed, and as a father, he was in pain, but he was burdened with the burden of a commander, so he turned off the lights, did not let his subordinates see his tears, and even endured grief, saying nothing about his son's death, but continuing to command the battle.
At this time, the Japanese army has been fighting for nearly half a year, with nearly 40,000 casualties, but only a few hills, delay in attacking the 203 highlands and Lushun, nogi attack failed, so that the Japanese government is facing great pressure, at home, the economic burden is getting heavier and heavier, can no longer be consumed, in the international community, Japan is also in a dilemma, if it is no longer able to win, Japan will be discredited, lose allies and diplomatic support.
In short, if japan could not take the 203 heights and Lushun any longer, Japan would not only lose this war, but also lose the future of the whole country, so the Japanese top brass pressured Kodama, chief of the general staff, and ordered Kodama to seize nogi's command, and must seize the 203 heights at all costs before the Russian Baltic Fleet arrived, and swept away the Russian Far East Fleet in lushun port, leaving the Baltic Fleet alone, and in the face of Kodama's seizure of power, Nogi did not object, because at this time, Nogi had put everything aside, even life and death.
His two sons have been killed here, and he let tens of thousands of soldiers die, and did not take the 203 highlands, feeling ashamed and embarrassed, and failing the country, so Nogi said that he would rather personally lead the squad to charge the front and die in front of the 203 highlands, with his own death, to apologize for the fallen soldiers and the motherland. Kodama immediately stopped Nogi, saying that Nogi was the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, and that he was responsible for the entire Russo-Japanese War, and that he could not take his life lightly for a moment of honor and humiliation, and after taking over the command, Kodama completely changed the offensive policy.
First of all, he ordered the artillery, all transferred to the northwest of the 203 heights, concentrated firepower, only bombed this corner, the generals listened to the sudden urine, which is equivalent to withdrawing the artillery fire in other directions, exposing the flaws, once the Russian army took the opportunity to counterattack, the Japanese army must have suffered a fiasco, but Kodama was bold, it was expected that the Russian army did not dare to go out of the fortress to counterattack, even if the Russian army counterattacked, it was equivalent to abandoning the fortress, just in the arms of the Japanese army, Kodama's second order was to carry out an uninterrupted onslaught, while the infantry charged, the artillery continued to fire, Regardless of whether it will hit its own people, it is important to take the 203 highland first.
In this way, the final attack of the Japanese army began, ten thousand cannons were fired, the small 203 heights were instantly full of holes, and the Japanese soldiers who spread over the mountains also kept charging, but Kodama's death orders, but these soldiers, they braved the Russian artillery fire all the way, it was difficult to rush to the front of the Russian army, but they were killed by their own cannons behind them, a Japanese officer turned around and shouted, don't fire their own people again, but the next second is still blown into ashes, the Japanese army bombardment and charge continues, the Russian machine guns are also full of fire, crazy massacre, Resisting the Japanese army, but still killing endlessly, unable to stop, even, the Japanese and Russian armies fought so fiercely that they ran out of ammunition and ran out of bullets, so they threw stones at each other and attacked each other.
In the end, the Japanese army paid the price of 8,000 casualties, only to forcibly attack the 203 heights, waving the Japanese flag on the top of the mountain, as soon as the Japanese army occupied the top of the mountain, immediately used the corpses along the way as road piles, set up a telephone line, informed Nogi and Kodama that the view of the 203 highlands was excellent, the Bohai Bay and The port of Lushun were in full view, and after taking the 203 high and low, the Japanese army quickly set up artillery, bombed the Russian warships in the port of Lushun, cooperated with the navy to completely annihilate the Russian Far East Fleet, and took the 203 highland as a breakthrough point, completely destroying the fortress group on the outskirts of Lushun. Successfully captured Lushun.
At this time, the Baltic Fleet of Tsarist Russia was still on the road, crossing the ocean, crossing half the world to participate in the battle, but soon after, this fleet would be annihilated by the Japanese army in one fell swoop in the Battle of Tsushima, allowing Japan to win the final victory of the Russo-Japanese War, in the Battle of the 203 Heights, the Japanese army suffered 17,000 casualties before taking this mountain, and the entire Lushun Campaign, the Japanese army lost as much as 50,000, ironically, with the cost of 50,000 soldiers' lives, only to win a tragic victory, was actually deified by the Japanese official and civilian, Call him a god-like hero.
Does Nogi deserve the honor? In addition, why was it that less than forty years after the Meiji Restoration, Japan was able to defeat the old tsarist Russia and win the Russo-Japanese War? Feel free to leave your comments and opinions.
