c_t; Zhang Enyuan replied: "Instructor, in the morning, I led Brother Blue Wolf to detect the enemy's situation, but unexpectedly, we have not found any trace of the Japanese cavalry wing, and now that the Japanese army is passive on the whole line, it is reasonable to send cavalry to attack our position and relieve its own huge pressure." ( Advertisement) "

Zhang Yi's face changed, and he asked, "Enyuan, do you mean that the cavalry wing of the Japanese army is not in Weihaiwei?" ”

Zhang Enyuan replied: "Instructor, at least so far, we have not found the shadow of the Japanese cavalry, and we have not heard the neighing of the horses. ”

Zhang Yi stomped his feet and said hurriedly: "It's bad, it must be that the Japanese soldiers are divided into two ways, and the cavalry is rushing to Jinan!" Summons, let Bagan come to see me at once! ”

In a moment, Bagen rushed up, this battle is a positional offensive and defensive battle, and it is difficult for the cavalry to exert great power, so Zhang Yi has been hiding Bagen Xue, and there is no exclusive cavalry on the field, which makes Bagen sweat in a hurry.

At this moment, Zhang Yi summoned, and Bagen rushed into Zhang Yi's command post like a whirlwind, shouting: "Instructor, shouldn't the instructor send me to play!" ”

He rushed into the command post in a hurry, and saw Zhang Yi's gloomy face, he couldn't help but be stunned, Bagen, who had been with Zhang Yi for a long time, knew that he couldn't easily touch Zhang Yi's brows at this time, otherwise he would be unlucky, the leaders of the entire blue wolf battalion, except for Xu Huaijin, together with Zhang Yihu, there was no one who had not been scolded by Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi saw Bagen close his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Bagen, it's time for you to appear, but it's not here, now the Japanese cavalry wing has moved west, and it is not clear where it is now, but the biggest possibility is that the Japanese army is wrecked, ordering the cavalry wing to go north directly to Beijing, and coerce the imperial court to sign an alliance under the city, your biggest task now reads;." It is to go straight to Dezhou, stop the Japanese army when it enters the territory of Zhili, and intercept the Japanese army before arriving in Tongzhou. Let Li Yingnian act with you, and you will be the main one in battle. Let him lead the way, hurry up! ”

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Bagan bowed down and walked out of the headquarters, ordered the cavalry and Li Yingnian, and went on the road together to chase the main force of the Japanese cavalry wing.

Zhang Yi continued to command the Qing army to besiege the main force of the Japanese army, and when the Sino-Japanese war was in full swing, the main fleet of the Japanese army also began to approach Weihaiwei.

Under the setting sun, more than 30 large and small ships of the Japanese main fleet were dispatched together. Approaching Weihaiwei Military Port, Navy Commander Ito Yuheng sat steadily on the flagship, he had received the information that the Japanese army had taken the north and south batteries of Weihaiwei, and he led the main fleet of the Navy to attack Weihaiwei Military Port, and the Beiyang Naval Division has now become a turtle in the urn.

Ito began to attack inside and outside, and the dream of blowing up all the Beiyang Naval Divisions to the bottom of the sea.

Just as the Japanese Navy was approaching, a scout suddenly ran up. He said in a hurry: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, we have found an unknown number of mines in the waters ahead, and it is preliminarily estimated that the entire Weihai Weijun Port has been arranged on the periphery, which has seriously hindered the speed of our fleet!" ”

Ito Yuheng was shocked, mines? Is it really Weihai Weijun Port full of mines? How is this possible, this is the lair of the Beiyang sailors. Once this place is covered with mines, not only will the Japanese army enter Weihaiwei in danger, but even the Beiyang Naval Division will not be able to be stationed here, once the mines are triggered, the main warships will suffer huge losses!

Ito Yuheng said urgently: "Immediately send minesweepers to clear the mines in front, and at the same time ask all warships to take strict precautions." Don't punish the mines, damage the ships, order the guerrilla formations in front, the main fleet in the rear, advance in echelons, and pass through this water area as quickly as possible!

While they were arranging, the signal corps reported to Ito Yuto: "Your Excellency, the commander, who is at the front, sent a message from the Takano that they found a large area of smoke in Weihaiwei, and at the same time there was a faint sound of artillery, as if a battle was underway!" ”

Ito Yuheng's heart sank, faintly felt that something was wrong, at this time there was a big battle in Weihaiwei, the only explanation was that the main force of the Japanese army and the Beiyang Naval Division had started a battle, and now Kuroki Weizhen and Sakuma Zuo Matthew, I am afraid that they have fallen into the siege of the Qing Army and the Beiyang Naval Division, if they don't rush over to help the battle as soon as possible, I am afraid that the front will be more auspicious.

Ito ordered all ships to move forward carefully, increase their speed as much as possible, and fully support the Imperial Army in Weihaiwei.

As soon as the Japanese main fleet finished adjusting its formation, the signal corpsmen shouted loudly: "Your Excellency Commander, we have found traces of the Great Qing Navy, which is already less than five nautical miles away from our army!" ”

Ito Yuheng perked up and asked, "How many Qing ** ships are ahead?" ”

The signal man replied: "Your Excellency, the Longye has sent back a message that there are about ten ships of the Qing army in front of the sailors, large and small, docked in the distance, and do not advance, but only block our way. ”

Ito Yuheng ordered: "Pass the order to the Takano in front, and the entire guerrilla formation will immediately rearm and fight and annihilate the Dumping Naval Division in front in one fell swoop!" ”

There are only ten ships, and they came to intercept the Imperial Navy, and this Beiyang Navy really doesn't know whether to live or die! Ito Yuhiro thought coldly.

It was the mixed fleet of the three major naval divisions of Nanyang, Fujian, and Guangdong that intercepted the Japanese army in the front, and the strength of these three naval divisions was very weak, and the three major naval divisions did not yet have a unified command, and in Weihaiwei, the three major naval divisions could still temporarily obey Ding Ruchang's dispatch, after all, Ding Ruchang was nominally the supreme commander of the naval division appointed by the Qing court. Now out of Weihaiwei, above the sea, the three major sailors have their own ghosts, which obviously gives the Japanese army a great opportunity.

The Japanese navy in front of it had the vice-admiral of the navy, Commander Quan Quan Gunbei, who was an elite figure in the Japanese navy, and he could see at a glance the problems of the fleet in front: more than a dozen warships did not even have a unified formation, and they were scattered on the sea, and one after another battleships entered Yamamoto Gonbei's telescope, and the great warships were dilapidated and did not look good, and there was no trace of tension in preparing for war on the ships.

What is the situation, although the military discipline of the influential Beiyang Navy is not very good, but the military quality is still good, why is this fleet not at all, it is not as good as armed merchant ships!

Yamamoto Gonbei hurriedly sent a flag message to Ito Yuhiro, reporting the dynamics ahead, and waiting for one sentence: Concentrate all firepower and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop!

The corners of Yamamoto Gonbei's mouth provoked a smile, such a warship did it, it really insulted the prestige of the Imperial Navy!

Yamamoto Gonbei shouted: "Order, Chiyoda and Takachie will bypass the flank of the front fleet, Fuso and Yoshino will advance forward, and the rest will be lined up in several columns to divide the sailors of the Qing army for me, and we will wrap them all in dumplings!"
