At five o'clock in the morning, a sharp whistle pierced the sky.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
In an instant, the entire Japanese headquarters was in chaos. No one expected that the enemy had quietly reached the headquarters.
Soon, all the officers gathered at the headquarters. However, the situation in the headquarters was beyond everyone's imagination.
Their supreme commander Nogi Nogi and the newly arrived Chief of Staff Gentaro Kodama were all dead in the headquarters.
Seeing this scene, the same thought came to everyone's mind.
It’s over!
It's all over!
The two most senior generals on our side actually died in the heavily defended headquarters. If the base camp knew this news, even if they successfully captured Lushun, they would probably not be able to escape death.
"Send power to base camp immediately!"
Both commanders were dead. As the highest-ranking person on the scene, Yunchi Yusuke had no choice but to go ahead and issue the first order.
To be honest, Yunchi Yusuke had never seen, no, never even heard of, that his commander died silently in the heavily guarded headquarters.
It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Although the news has not been sent out yet, Yunchi Yusuke has already thought about how the base camp will react.
The base camp would definitely not believe this telegram for the first time!
This is normal. No one with a right mind would believe such a ridiculous telegram!
There are even suspicions at the base camp that the real murderer is not an outsider, but someone in their group, or some people. After all, in the Sakura Country, it is not uncommon for the lower class to defeat the upper class, but it has been left to them since ancient times. 'Fine Traditions'.
A staff officer in charge of communications swallowed subconsciously and asked in an uncertain tone.
"Secretary-general, are you really going to send it?"
"idiot!"
Hearing the other party's tone, Yunchi Yusuke suddenly became furious.
"Do as I command!"
Seeing the exposed appearance of the deputy chief of staff, the communications staff officer bowed repeatedly.
"Hi! Hi!"
…

…
On the other side, Li Jie, who had completed the assassination, was already walking back on the mountain road.
This assassination operation was simply not difficult for him. If he had to do it, the hardest part would probably be getting into the headquarters. After all, the Japanese defense was still very thorough. If it were anyone else, He was probably spotted by the sentry before he even sneaked in.
Although killing the two senior generals of the Japanese side can make the Japanese side busy for a period of time, it will not have much impact on the current situation.
The location of Lushun is too important, and the Japanese will never give up easily. Not to mention the death of two senior generals, even if all the soldiers of the Third Army are replaced, the Japanese will not change their intention to occupy Lushun.
Because once the Lushun area is handed over, the bear will be able to actually occupy the northeastern region and threaten the Korean area at any time.
This is absolutely unacceptable to the Japanese!
Therefore, no matter how great the sacrifice is, Sakura Country Base Camp will grit its teeth and persist in the stalemate.
On the other hand, Mao Xiong, before the arrival of the Baltic Fleet, they would never be able to regain control of the sea. Without control of the sea, they would be at an absolute disadvantage regarding the battle for Port Arthur.
As long as Maozi's commander is not stupid, he will not make the decision to reinforce easily!
However, although killing Nogi Nogi and the guy named Tamaro will not affect the overall situation, it can be regarded as a bad breath to make the Japanese side get into trouble.
In addition, in the next two days, before the order from the base camp is received, the Japanese side is bound to slow down the pace of the attack. Even if it temporarily stops the attack, Li Jie will not be surprised. After all, the two who died were the first The top general of the three armies.
Li Jie's footsteps were fast, and it didn't take long for him to return to the small courtyard where he temporarily lived.
However, when he just stepped into the courtyard, he ran into Xia Yuanzhang, who had red eyes and a haggard look.
"Little brother? How is the situation?"
Li Jie pointed to his red eyes and said unexpectedly: "Shopkeeper Xia, have you been awake all night?"
"well."
Xia Yuanzhang sighed numbly.
sleep?
How could he want to sleep?
As soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of his wife and daughter in the city. Sometimes he would see his wife and daughter freezing and starving, sometimes he would see his wife and daughter being injured by grenades, and sometimes he would see his wife and daughter being injured by a grenade. Scene of people being killed.
With such scenes in his mind, how could he sleep peacefully?
"Shop Manager Xia, I know you are worried about your family, but Lushun has become a meat grinder. If there is not much change in a short period of time, I am afraid there will be no chance to enter the city."
"So, what I mean is to wait a little longer. I believe that I will definitely wait for this opportunity."
Then Li Jie picked out some of what he saw tonight and told Xia Yuanzhang to let him know how tragic the Battle of Lushun was.
After listening to Li Jie's story, Xia Yuanzhang had to give up his thoughts of sneaking into the city even though he was extremely anxious.
If you want to take your family home smoothly, you can only wait and wait patiently.

Manchuria Army Headquarters.
"idiot!"
Dashanyan, who was the commander-in-chief of the Manchurian Army at the time, was furious at this time.
"idiot!"
Just now, an urgent coded message was sent from the front line of the Third Army. The coded message stated that the Commander of the Third Army Nozomi Nozomi was shattered. At the same time, the Chief of Staff Gentaro Kodama who he had just sent to take over the command was also shattered!
The most ridiculous thing is that both of them died in the heavily defended headquarters!
When he saw this telegram, Dashanyan's first reaction was disbelief. In his more than ten years in the army, he had never seen, let alone heard of, such a thing!
Then, his second reaction was that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy against him.
The Battle of Port Arthur has progressed so far, and the Japanese losses can no longer be described as "tragic". More than 40,000 imperial warriors have been shattered, and the number of wounded has reached an astonishing 80,000.
Although the person in charge of the on-site command was Nogi Nogi, as the commander-in-chief of the Manchurian Army, he would definitely be held responsible if the base camp held him accountable.
In addition, despite Oyama Iwa's seniority, he was one of the nine elders of the Meiji period and one of the founders of the Imperial Army.
But even so, he was not without competitors within the empire.
'no! '
'We must investigate thoroughly! '
Dashanyan secretly made up his mind that he must wait until the truth is found out before he can continue to attack Lushun.
As one of the veterans of the army, Dashanyan has participated in many foreign wars. Considering the current situation, it is not difficult to judge that at this point in the war, Lushun is already in the possession of the empire.
But if the current matter is not clarified, Dashanyan may not be able to explain it to the base camp.
