c_t; After a day and a night, the third battalion of the Qing army successfully docked at the port of Weihaiwei.

The third battalion was formed by the merger of the two new armies of the Zhongzi Department and the Yizi Department, with a number of nearly 5,000 people, which is the descendant force of Zhang Yi's personal control, and the backbone of the battalion at all levels was formed by Zhang Yi from the elite of the blue wolf.

On his return to China, Zhang Yi also specially dispatched a cavalry battalion and an artillery battalion to follow him back to China, which is already an army with a modern mixed composition of various arms, and compared with a mixed brigade, it is not much worse.

Wu Peifu, Zheng Hao, Ling Chuanqing, and Mo Qi are all the original detachment leaders and deputy detachment leaders of the blue wolf, and the other pipe leader of the fifth battalion is Duan Qirui, an outstanding graduate of Tianjin Wubei Academy!

These people have either accepted Zhang Yi's words and deeds and rushed out of the bloody rain, or they are the top students of the Tianjin Martial Arts Academy, all of whom are talented and bring the new army to a tiger-like style, full of vigor and murderous spirit.

Several supervisors arranged a team and came to see Xu Huaijin together, Xu Huaijin was overjoyed, he was almost crazy in the past two days. The Japanese army has completed the rest, the cavalry wing has attacked Jimo again, replenished a large number of armaments and materials, and is about to converge at Motianling, the newly prepared Japanese Sixth Division, sharpening knives Huohuo, it is estimated that before tomorrow afternoon, it will be able to rush to the vicinity of the Nanbang Fort, at this time Xu Huaijin's soldiers are only enough for him to plan the empty city, where can it work, therefore, two days, chic and elegant Xu Huai

Jin, the bubbles on his mouth are up.

Xu Huaijin gathered with everyone and explained the current situation, now that the Sixth Division has finished resting, it will break through to the northeast at any time and attack the Nanbang Battery. In the area of Yantai, now the Fourth Division landed in Yantai under the leadership of Sakuma Zuo Matthei, the commander of the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army, with less than 10,000 troops, trying to go south to join the Sixth Division, and was engaged in a fierce battle with Yuan Shikai, and now it has entered the fifth day, Yuan Shikai's Huai Army descendants suffered heavy casualties, and in five days, four or five thousand people have been lost, and the battle was extremely hard.

Wu Peifu was dissatisfied: "How did Yuan Shikai do it? Now that the Qing army occupies a favorable geographical position, does the Japanese army have follow-up support, and it is still fighting so hard, is it really difficult to live up to its reputation? ”

Xu Huaijin glanced at Wu Peifu and said: "Ziyu, compared with the Lutai training army in North Korea, today's Huai army is not on the same level, the domestic Huai army has been lacking in war training in recent years, and the armament is relaxed, and it is strange if you suddenly encounter a strong enemy, it is strange not to suffer, that is, Yuan Xiangcheng, for other commanders, I am afraid that the Qing army will be defeated a long time ago, even so, Yuan Xiangcheng is extremely hard to support." ”

Zheng Hao was originally Xu Huaijin's old subordinate in the blue wolf, and said directly: "Captain, you say, how do we deal with it next, the instructor is not there, you are our backbone, how you say to fight, let's fight!" ”

Xu Huaijin replied: "Well, the Japanese army will arrive soon, and if you want to be idle, it is impossible." ( ) Now the Japanese army is in Motianling, and if they want to come to the south bank fort, there are two roads, one is Hushan and the other is Jingjing

From the White Horse River, these two places are the key, I am afraid that the Japanese attack will be divided into two routes, all the way to attack Hushan, all the way to attack the White Horse River, forming a situation of encirclement, the Japanese army is strong, and it will inevitably advance step by step. And what I'm worried about is that once Yuan Shikai in Yantai can't hold on, the Fourth Division will drive straight into the north bank and attack the north bank battery, and now we are controlled everywhere, it's all done by that straw bag governor Li Bingheng, one wrong move, all the games will be lost! ”

Zheng Hao asked, "Then, captain, how do we deal with it?" ”

Xu Huaijin replied: "Wu Peifu, Zheng Hao, the two of you lead the men and horses of your department, together with my artillery here, and garrison the north bank of the Baima River, so as not to let the Japanese army cross the river easily." ”

Wu Peifu's eyes narrowed, and he replied: "My lord, instead of preventing the Japanese army from crossing the river, it is better to let them come over, and we will definitely be able to win in one fell swoop." ”

Xu Huaijin smiled and nodded, this Wu Ziyu is worthy of being a talent favored by the instructor, but this move is not good, thinking about Xu Huaijin replied: "Ziyu, your strategy is good, you can try it, but what I'm worried about is that you don't grasp the timing well, the Baima River is flat, and it's not very wide, it's just a small river, half-crossing and attacking, it's easy to say, if the Japanese army covers the south bank with heavy artillery, you can cross the Baima River in a short time, how do you plan to attack half-crossing?" ”

Wu Peifu's face turned red, and he really took it for granted. Now is not the era of cold weapons, the range of heavy artillery is as high as four or five miles, can completely cover the north and south banks, a small White Horse River, but dozens of zhang wide, their own half-crossing, but not easy to realize

Done.

Xu Huaijin continued: "After you arrived at the White Horse River, the first thing you did was to blow up the bridge there for me, and the second was to urgently clean up the ships on both sides of the river, no matter what kind of boats they were, and then the heavy artillery was deployed close to the coast, covering the range of miles where the Japanese army landed, so that he could not get close to the ferry. Medium machine gun positions are placed on both sides to block the river with crossfire! The troop ladder is set up, and if the ferry is lost, fight again and again, buy time for the arrival of reinforcements, understand? ”

Wu Peifu hurriedly nodded, Xu Huaijin was still a step ahead, and Wu Peifu was convinced.

Xu Huaijin looked at Ling Chuanqing and Duan Qirui again, and said: "Chuanqing, Qirui, you lead your subordinates to enter Tiger Mountain, occupy the commanding heights of Tiger Mountain, defend Tiger Mountain with danger, and don't let Tiger Mountain be lost." Remember the same, arrange the stepped positions, block the attack step by step, don't hit the hard, the Japanese army is outnumbered, if we only fight hard, we will suffer heavy losses. ”

Ling Chuanqing and Duan Qirui nodded one after another, signaling that they understood.

Xu Huaijin continued: "Mo Qi, lead a battalion of troops to garrison the fort with me, forget it, just leave the troops to me, you go and take over the blue wolf detachment, let you also pass the addiction of commanding the blue wolf alone, I want to see what I have handed over to you after I leave?" ”

Mo Qi pouted at first when he heard that he should stay in the fort, these people were all full of militants, how could they stay in the rear honestly. When he heard the second half of Xu Huaijin's words, he jumped up happily and commanded the blue wolf to fight, this is the highest honor of the old blue wolf, not that person can have this

kind of opportunity.

Mo Qi proudly glanced at Wu Peifu, Zheng Hao and others, and hurriedly agreed: "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job and never disappoint your expectations!" Wu Peifu pursed his lips and said: "Lao Zheng, why don't we change the two of us, let me command the blue wolf, and ensure that I do a better job than you!" Mo Qi said angrily: "Get out! Take your first battalion and defend the White Horse River, what are you fighting with me!
