Under the leadership of Liu Xunchan, the Huaxia fleet sailed back to Kaohsiung Port, only more than 100 kilometers from Mawei to Kaohsiung, and it could be reached in less than three hours at the speed of the fleet. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]。 The update is so fast. say

After a whole day of fighting, there are not many shells for each battleship, and they must return to their home port, add shells, and stop down, the Huaxia fleet, only the Lanzhou and Xi'an have been bombarded by more shells, and there have been some minor damages, but they still do not damage the overall situation, the combat power still exists, and the other new ships have no damage at all.

When they arrived at the Kaohsiung Naval Base, Yang Yonglin and Xu Shuzheng hurriedly greeted them.

Xu Shuzheng asked, "Chief Liu, how is the battle today?" ”

Liu Xiaochan smiled proudly and said: "Brother Zheng, in today's battle, the Fujian Navy Division was wiped out in Mawei Harbor, only four or five Qing court warships were heavily damaged and fled back to the military port, and then the main force of our fleet besieged Mawei Military Port, and the defenders of the military port fort 'fiercely' battle, destroyed several Qing army forts, and frustrated the enemy's spirit, until the night, Fujian Admiral Zhao Zhi'an led the new army to help, and our army withdrew because of the lack of ammunition 'medicine'!" ”

Xu Shuzheng was overjoyed and asked, "Chief Chief, you say, if we fight again tomorrow, can we take Mawei Harbor and land directly from Mawei?" ”

Liu Xiaochan shook his head and replied: "Impossible, although our army won a big victory, but that was because only in the face of the defenders of the Mawei Fort, they fought independently, and they were inevitably discouraged and turned upside down by us, but now Zhao Zhi'an personally led the new army of the Tenth Town has arrived, even if we attack with all our strength tomorrow, I am afraid that it will be difficult to help the other party, if you want to take Mawei, you must advance by sea and land, just with the main force of the fleet, it is difficult to take Mawei!" ”

Xu Shuzheng couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and said: "Alas, I'm happy in vain, it seems that it's still going to be a night attack." Just love)"

Liu Xiaochan nodded and said: "Rest for the night today, use Lin, give orders, the base will replenish the fleet overnight, tomorrow at noon, we will continue to fight, from the afternoon until the early morning of the day after tomorrow, we will continue to maintain a large-scale offensive to attract the attention of the new army in the nearby tenth town!" In the second half of the night, Zheng He and Hangzhou personally escorted the troop transports to Shenxian Bay and landed on the beach. ”

Xu Shuzheng nodded and said, "Okay, our heavy weapons have been loaded onto the troop carrier, and with 18,000 troops, we can board the troop carrier at any time and go to Shenxian Bay!" ”

Liu Xiaochan's eyes flickered, and he said: "You Zheng, don't press the entire Seventh Division, we also have to leave some troops here in Taiwan, Brother Huai Jin means, let you leave a regiment of troops to protect Kaohsiung Port, Kaohsiung Port is our top priority, the entire navy's operations in the south need the support of Kaohsiung, there can be no half-point difference here!" ”

Xu Shuzheng pouted and said: "Chief Zixiang, we now have three divisions in Taiwan, even if the seventh division is all pressed, there are still two divisions, that Zhang Zuolin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if you want to take our Kaohsiung, I am afraid that there is no force around us that has such strong maritime strength!" ”

Liu Xiaochan's face sank, and he said: "You Zheng, don't underestimate the enemy, we are just soldiers, and we are familiar with military affairs, but for politics, we don't know anything about it, and there will be absolutely nothing wrong with the words of the commander-in-chief, be careful, with your seventh division, once you go ashore, deal with the new army of the nearby tenth town, isn't it as simple as teasing children?" Are you still afraid of capsizing in the 'yin' ditch? ”

Xu Shuzheng was in a hurry when he landed, what to deal with the Qing army with a total of 15,000 people in a town, his seventh division would capsize in the 'yin' ditch, and it would be better to jump directly into the Min River and drown!

Xu Shuzheng shouted: "Chief Liu, I, Xu Shuzheng, have never known what fear is since I joined the army!" What's more, it's not that the big war is coming, these people under his hands are holding back their strength to do a big job, you say this juncture, who do I let stay? Whoever receives such an order has to turn my face! ”

Liu Xiaochan smiled helplessly and said, "You Zheng, is it that you are facing such a problem yourself, and others are not facing such a problem?" If you can't do this, then you are not a qualified soldier, let alone a qualified officer, do you want your subordinates to have such officers? Yang Tonghuai and Xu Zhi'an are rare talents in the Chinese Navy, which one is not like a fire, and which one does not want to come to Taiwan? Why don't you stay in Qingdao honestly? ”

Xu Shuzheng was silent, Liu Xiaochan was right, since the chief has such considerations, then he must leave a regiment, which regiment to leave? Alas, what a headache! “

It's not just Xu Shuzheng who has a headache, but now Yang Zhian has an even more headache, in just one day, the Fujian Navy Division has made the family scattered, and the twelve forts are also scarred, and the entire horsetail is full of mourning, how can this battle be fought?

Just now, Yang Zhi'an also received a call back from Yuan Shikai, although Yuan Shikai encouraged Yang Zhi'an, but there was no answer to the reinforcements, now the Qinhuai front, the war is more intense, the entire Qing court's troops are more nervous, the 'elite' soldiers have been transferred to the front line, where are there still reinforcements to send?

Yang Zhi'an was shocked and sad, the only thing he was glad about was that Yuan Shikai personally sent a telegram, telling Yang Zhi'an to defend with his heart, if it is impossible to do it, Fujian is lost, then save the strength and retreat towards Jiangxi, Yuan Shikai will definitely not hold him responsible for losing his land, but he must be careful not to let the Chinese Revolutionary Army easily succeed!

"******, fight!"

Yang Zhixin thought silently, Lord Yuan even said such things, if he was cowardly and afraid, it would be too sorry for his old man.

Isn't it the Chinese Revolutionary Army and the Chinese fleet, anyway, their fleet can't land on the shore, what's the use of just showing off their might at sea, as long as they hold the horsetail, they have no way at all!

Yang Zhi'an stabilized his mind and began to deploy tomorrow's defense, and now the focus of defense is on Mawei, but it is not equal to other places of insurance, and he still has to be more careful!

Yang Zhi'an left the troops of the two associations near Mawei, and the 33rd association was sent to other strategic places to defend, and all of them carried radio stations to keep in touch, there was no way, without a radio station, it would be equivalent to losing the opportunity everywhere, and there was no way to fight this battle.

Yang Zhi'an arranged all the defenses, and the time was already three or four o'clock in the evening, and then he fell asleep.

The next day, we will face a new big war, how can we do it if we don't have enough 'essence' strength? say
