Although the traverser did not know about these tearing things between the countries, he also knew that after the capture of Weihaiwei, the countries would definitely think that the next target of the traverser would be Qingdao, after all, the two places were too close, and there was no reason for the traverser to let Qingdao go. Therefore, it is definitely impossible for the traverser to raid Qingdao again, and Germany will definitely strengthen the garrison of Qingdao, and will do everything possible to strengthen Qingdao's troops.

Although Germany has no other armies in China, there are still armies in other countries, and although there are many internal contradictions in the Eight-Nation Alliance, they are a whole after all, and the traverser cannot bet on the fact that other countries will not reinforce Qingdao, so it is necessary to launch a battle to attack Qingdao as soon as possible, and capture Qingdao before Qingdao's reinforcements arrive, resulting in a definite fact.

And the day after the traverser captured Weihaiwei, the support fleet from Tianjin also arrived at Weihai Bay, bringing with them the second, fifth, sixth, and seventh combat battalions of the New Army, as well as the fire reinforcement battalion and artillery battalion, as well as the cavalry company. Of course, only two companies of the firepower reinforcement battalion and the artillery battalion came, and the remaining one company remained in Tianjin. In addition, there are four Sea Dragon-class torpedo boat destroyers, with a strength of more than 2,600 troops. And with the army that attacked Weihaiwei in the early stage, the total strength is about 4,800 people.

At the same time, the crossing army also established a front-line general headquarters in Weihaiwei, and set up front-line institutions such as a front-line field hospital, a front-line material management office, and a front-line weapons and ammunition management office. The next day, Xiao Jianjun summoned the captains of various ships and battalion-level officers to hold a meeting to lay out a battle plan for attacking Qingdao. As the commander of the first battalion of the New Army, Luo Yue was also able to participate in a formal military meeting for the first time.

As a matter of fact, the operational plan for attacking Qingdao had been drawn up a long time ago, that is, to attack on two fronts, either by sea or land, and now only some minor adjustments have been made, and the most important thing is the distribution of troops on both land and sea fronts.

The strength of the land offensive will be commanded by Army Commander Zhu Yaping, including the 1st, 2nd, and 5th battalions of the New Army, as well as the fire reinforcement battalion, artillery battalion, and cavalry company, with a total strength of about 1,800 troops, including 9 105 mm field artillery, 18 75 mm howitzers, 9 Haqikaisi machine guns, and 18 imitation Makqin machine guns. In addition, there are more than 20 donkey carts accompanying the army. At the same time, Xiao Jianjun also pulled out 8 warrior vehicles, 2 trucks, and two WZ-5 unmanned helicopters and a Z-9C helicopter to fight with the army.

With these 10 motor vehicles, the battlefield mobility capability of the whole army and the load-bearing capacity can be greatly strengthened. And the three helicopters can not only strengthen the reconnaissance capability of the army, but also, if necessary, serve as the last trump card weapon.

The 6th and 7th Battalions of the New Army were responsible for guarding Weihaiwei, transporting and supplying logistics materials, and serving as reserve troops. After all, Weihaiwei and Qingdao are more than 300 kilometers apart, and although there are 10 motor vehicles to ensure the supply of logistics materials, it is impossible for combat troops to carry too many supplies, so most of the military supplies still need to be transported from Weihaiwei.

On the naval side, four Sea Dragon-class torpedo boat destroyers protected the transport ship to return to Tianjin to deliver the next batch of supplies. The combat mission of attacking Qingdao was carried out by five warships, the Kunming, Yueyang, Xiangyang, Huaihua, and Changbaishan, as well as the Marine Battalion, while the Sanya remained in Weihai Bay.

The navy had two tasks: one was to annihilate the seven German warships anchored in Qingdao, and the other was to land near Qingdao and cooperate with the army in attacking Qingdao.

After the reconnaissance of the traversers, the German fleet was defeated by the traversal fleet, and the remaining seven warships fled back to Qingdao, where they are now moored in Qingdao Bay, which is the location of the sea area where Qingdao's famous scenic spot Qingdao Zhanqiao is located in the old time and space. The construction projects currently carried out by the German colonial authorities in Qingdao are basically concentrated in the coastal areas of Qingdao Bay.

After the occupation of Qingdao, Germany first built two forts on Bismarck Mountain (Qingdao Mountain) in the northeast of Qingdao Bay, called Bismarck Fort. At the same time, it was planned to build three barracks in the adjacent Moltke Mountain (i.e., Water Storage Mountain) and Mount Irtis (i.e., Taiping Mountain) to Bismarck Mountain, as the area of the German garrison in Qingdao, of which the Irtis military camp has been completed, and now the German troops in Qingdao are stationed in this barracks, and the Moltke military camp has also started construction, only Bismarck's military camp is still being designed. The location of the Bismarck battery, the firepower could cover the entire bay of Qingdao, as well as the area currently occupied by Germany in Qingdao.

However, the German rule in Qingdao was not long, so the Bismarck battery is still very simple, and only 8 German guns are placed, namely 4 150 mm guns, 4 105 mm guns, and 2 old 120 mm guns and 5 88 mm guns that originally belonged to the Qing Dynasty army. constituted the heavy firepower of the German army in Qingdao now.

The navy marched along the Shandong Peninsula toward Qingdao, with the Kunming, Xiangyang, and Huaihua ships responsible for attacking the German warships in Qingdao Bay and the Bismarck Battery, while the Yueyang and Changbaishan ships sailed into Jiaozhou Bay and landed in Xiaogang Bay.

Xiaogangwan is the area around the ferry terminal of Qingdao-Huangdao in the old time and space, located in the north of Jingdao Bay, which happens to be the weak area of the German defense.

Of course, the bay of the small harbor is narrow and shallow, and the ships are easy to run aground on the reef, so it is not a good place for landing, and it is precisely because of this that Germany did not pay attention to the garrison of the small harbor. However, the landing of the traverser here can play a surprising role, directly into the German Provisional Governor's Palace in Qingdao, that is, the original Jiaoao General Army Yamen, located in the east of Qingdao Bay (now Qingdao People's Hall). Moreover, there are two large hovercraft for the crossing army, so it can greatly overcome the adverse influence of the terrain and ensure the success of the landing of the crossing army.

The time for the army to dispatch troops is set for the morning after tomorrow, and the army's overall tactical arrangements are to be drawn up by the principal generals of the army themselves, and then submitted to the command for approval. Of course, the land distance from Weihaiwei to Qingdao is 300 kilometers, and it is not possible to cover it in one or two days, and after arriving in the Qingdao area, it is necessary to reconnoiter the distribution of German forces before we can draw up a general battle plan.

For the army, the navy's march was much easier, although the sea distance was farther than the land route, but there were warships to travel, so it only took one day to reach the waters of Qingdao.

After the meeting, Zhu Yaping recruited the commanders of each battalion of the army and assigned the task of marching into the army. This land attack on Qingdao was the first long-distance land attack by the traversers, and although there were previous cases of attacking Tianjin from Dagu Pass, the distance from Dagu Pass to Tianjin was less than 50 kilometers. Therefore, the two are completely incomparable.

Long-distance land marching is an extremely complicated matter, and in this era of mainly walking on foot, it is not only necessary to rationally distribute the physical strength of the soldiers of the whole army and the order of marching to ensure the unity of the speed of the whole army, but also to arrange and arrange camping sites in advance, as well as food and rest, so as to maximize the marching speed of the whole army. In addition, it is necessary to prevent enemy ambushes, sneak attacks, etc., so it can be said that it is necessary to make comprehensive preparations before departure.

In addition, if there are a large number of marchers, they must march from different roads and then assemble at a certain place, otherwise the large army will be crowded on one road, and the front team will reach its destination, while the rear team may not have set out yet. Fortunately, there are only more than 2,600 people this time, so there is no need to worry about this problem.

Chu Yaping first assigned the order of the march, with the first battalion of the new army as the first team to open the way for the whole army, and assigned them a cavalry platoon. Fu watched and detected the whereabouts of the enemy, as well as the ambush location, if they encountered an attack by the enemy, or the enemy's forward position, on the one hand, organize positional resistance on the spot, on the other hand, immediately notify the rear army, and at the same time allocate them 3 warrior vehicles, and 1 unmanned helicopter. Make sure they can travel light.

The 2nd and 5th Battalions of the Forces nouvelles and the cavalry company were the second team, which was about 20-30 kilometers behind the first team, which was equivalent to half a day's march. Once the first team is attacked by the enemy, or the forward position, according to the actual situation, either to support the first team, or to organize a second line of defense on the spot, also equipped with 3 warrior vehicles, and 1 straight 9C helicopter.

The fire reinforcement battalion and artillery battalion are the third team, which will be 30-50 km behind the second team, equipped with 2 warrior vehicles, 2 truck trucks and 1 unmanned helicopter. Each truck has a capacity of 10 tons and is responsible for carrying artillery and machine-gun ammunition, as well as corresponding supplies.

Generally speaking, the whole army can carry food supplies that guarantee 10-15 days and combat ammunition for 3-5 bases, which can guarantee a full-scale war for about 3 days.

After the task is assigned, it is to go to the various material management offices on the front line to receive all kinds of weapons and ammunition materials, of course, the base number of all materials is standard, and it is only necessary to determine the time that needs to be guaranteed.

The first battalion of the new army was the first to set off, leaving them the least time to prepare, and after the supplies were received, they had to be distributed to each soldier, and at the same time, they had to meet with the cavalry platoon, the warrior vehicle group, and the drone control group. Therefore, Luo Yue did not dare to delay, and immediately returned to his camp after the meeting, leading the members of the battalion headquarters and the company commanders of each company to the various material management offices to collect their supplies.

There are not so many complicated procedures for receiving supplies in wartime, but not everyone can come to receive them, at least the battalion commander has to be present to sign, so everywhere he goes, after Luo Yue signs the bill and counts the materials he requires, he leaves a company commander responsible for transferring soldiers to carry them back to the camp, and Luo Yue takes the others to run to the next management office.

First of all, they went to the front-line weapons and ammunition management office to receive the weapons and ammunition they needed, then went to the material management office to receive the rations and other supplies for the army, and finally went to the field hospital to receive the medicine for the march.
