The anti-Qing movement began with the looting of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Chapter 204 The Capture of Lushun

Kanichi Suzuki also knew the importance of the port, but unfortunately, he only had some remnants of his troops and lacked heavy weapons.

Two hours later, Suzuki Kanichi organized four or five thousand soldiers and, with a heavy heart, charged toward the Chinese army's beachhead.

The Japanese troops charged toward the New Army in dense formations; they had captured Lushun Port a few months earlier using sheer numbers.

Even with its strong permanent fortifications, the Russian army couldn't hold out!

These Chinese troops have no strong fortifications at all. The Japanese army is prepared to press their advantage and crush the Chinese troops that have landed into the sea, annihilating them all.

"Good!" A Marine Corps major at the front line held up his binoculars, looking at the densely packed Japanese troops charging towards them in the distance, a cruel smile on his face.

"Walkie-talkie!" The major ran into a nearby house and shouted at the sergeant carrying a walkie-talkie.

This walkie-talkie is a top military secret, even more classified than radio. Ordinary soldiers are not allowed to see it when it's in use.

Although this walkie-talkie technology is not yet advanced, with a communication range of only a few kilometers, it is sufficient for current needs.

Several shells landed on the Japanese troops who were preparing to launch an attack, killing dozens of people instantly.

"Give me the kill!" The Japanese officer raised his sword and swung it forcefully. They knew that now that the army had opened fire, they couldn't just stand there and take the bombing.

It would be better to rush up and engage the Chinese army, then their artillery and naval guns would be useless.

"Fire! Fire!" The 25mm twin-mounted rapid-fire guns on the armored vehicles, which were already prepared, began to shake violently. The Japanese troops, who were about a kilometer away, poured shells down on them.

These armored vehicles were all experimental products, basically just a large metal shell with four wheels. To reduce weight, the armor was very thin, meaning it could only withstand heavy machine gun fire.

Large-caliber cannons couldn't be installed, so for the time being, they installed the 25mm rapid-fire cannons from the warships.

Dozens of mortars and heavy machine guns from the Marine Corps opened fire, felling rows of Japanese soldiers to the ground.

The most terrifying thing was the large-caliber naval guns; a single shell could send dozens of Japanese soldiers flying into the air. Limbs and severed bodies were scattered everywhere.

Many warships along the coast joined the bombardment, raining down a dense barrage of shells on the Japanese troops. The bombardment left countless Japanese corpses strewn across the battlefield!

If Shen Lian were here, he would definitely shout that it was so much fun!

Decades later, during the Battle of Shanghai, the National Revolutionary Army charged forward in the same manner, braving Japanese naval gunfire. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died under Japanese naval artillery fire.

The poor Guangxi Iron Army, which had traveled thousands of miles, was wiped out in a single day! (Salute to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the War of Resistance!)

Under the fierce attack of the new army's navy and land forces, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties. Even their commander, Suzuki Kanichi, was blown to pieces by naval gunfire.

The remaining thousand or so Japanese soldiers were terrified by this horrific scene, threw down their weapons, and ran away.

"Too brutal!" Marine Brigade Commander Ao Hong exhaled a puff of smoke and shook his head.

In just one or two hours, they wiped out three to four thousand Japanese soldiers. And under the bombardment of naval guns, many Japanese corpses were mangled beyond recognition. Heads and severed limbs were everywhere, a sight that made one want to vomit!

"Advance the tanks! Pass down the order: clear out all the wounded Japanese soldiers!" Ao Hong ordered coldly.

We are at war now, and we are fighting the Japanese army. There is no room for mercy.

The landing vehicle started up and slowly advanced, pressing down on the bodies of Japanese soldiers, while infantrymen with rifles followed to provide cover!

With a soft "thud," the large wheel of the armored vehicle crushed the head of a Japanese soldier.
