At 6 o'clock in the morning of the 19th, when the defenders of the Beitang Fort discovered that the Japanese ship group appeared in the sea area due east, when the fast horse went to the Dagu Fort to Xin'er, they also sent the fast horse to the Ninghe camp to ask for help.

Liu Weiye and Mu Changcai, the two battalion officers of the Beitang Artillery Battalion, believed that the Jinmen Brigade, which could annihilate the Japanese soldiers at Shanhaiguan, must be a hundred times stronger than the 5,000 recruits in the Dagu Fort.

At least, the three or four thousand troops in Ninghe, everyone can have a fast gun in their hands!

The 2,000 anti-Japanese recruits in the Dagu Fort heard that there were only five or six hundred rifles for training.

The sixth battalion of the Hongzi Army in Nanhe was even worse, I heard that there were only about 100 old rifles, more than 200 Tutong bird guns hunted by rural hunters, and dozens of cannons.

The rest were armed with broadswords, long hair, and bows and arrows.

There are more than 1,300 people in the two battalions of Liu Weiye and Mu Changcai, and there are still 300 fast-firing guns squeezed out of the city defense battalion in their hands, which shows how poor the group of soldiers in Dagu can be.

Of course, I can't expect to come to the rescue.

At about 7:30 in the morning, Beitang sent the cavalry into the Ninghe camp.

Suddenly, the entire Ninghe camp was disturbed.

At 8 o'clock, the 1,300 troops of the three infantry battalions led by Liu Gangzhi first set off from the Ninghe camp, along the Ji Canal embankment, and went straight to the Beitang Fort 50 miles away.

At 9:15, Liu Gangzhi saw a group of Qing cavalry on the south embankment, about thirty or forty horsemen.

Soon the two sides encountered, it turned out that Liu Weiye and Mu Changcai retreated, and they did not dare to return to Jinmen or Dagu, so they discussed coming to the Ninghe camp to ask for troops, thinking of relying on the Jinmen Brigade to recapture the Beitang Fort.

Liu Gangzhi had a smile on his face, and immediately agreed, boasting that the Jinmen Brigade was strong and strong, and it would not be a problem to recapture Beitang.

I like Liu Weiye and Mu Changcai, and no matter how old I am, I can almost be Liu Gangzhi's father, and I have a 'Brother Liu' that is called affection.

And it is obvious that he has repeatedly 'hinted' that he is the henchman of Li Minchen of Jinmen Dao, as long as Liu Gangzhi pulls them today, he will definitely introduce Liu Gangzhi to the promising Daotai Lord in the future.

Then, the two promised countless financial benefits.

And after Mu Changcai learned that Liu Gangzhi was still unmarried, he even proposed that his youngest daughter was still in the boudoir at the age of fourteen this year, and she looked beautiful and well-read.

Liu Gangzhi, who 'likes', his eyes lit up, and he rubbed his palms anxiously.

Seeing this scene, the two old foxes in their early forties secretly glanced at each other, and saw the smile and disdain in each other's eyes.

- What kind of effort is needed to deal with this kind of hairy boy? The words 'power', 'wealth' and 'sex' can press him to the crotch and let them ride willingly!

Subsequently, the vanguard of the Jinmen Brigade and the cavalry of Liu Weiye and Mu Changcai marched south.

Collect the rout all the way.

At this time, it was already 9:50 a.m., and the coastal defense battle of Dagu Fort began to enter a real climax!

"Boom, boom, boom-"

"Whoa, whoa—"

Between heaven and earth, there was a dense burst of artillery and bombs, and countless high-explosive explosions smashed into the battery line of the North Artillery Group, and yellow smoke and flames were everywhere.

The artillery position on the hillside from the north mouth of the Haihe River to the northernmost part of the Dagu military station was fiercely ploughed by the Japanese warships.

In the Japanese army, there are 4 ships, except for Matsushima, Hashidate, and Itsukushima, and 3 320mm Ghanaian main guns in the stern, which belong to waste.

The 8 47mm Habekaisi single-barreled rapid-fire guns on the port side can shoot about 160 solid projectiles per minute, although they are sharp, but the damage to the Beidagu gun group is limited after all.

And on the port side of the 4 ships, there are 23 120-caliber Armstrong rapid-fire guns, which can fire about 150 high-explosive shells per minute, which is really not an ordinary horror!

"Boom, boom—"

The Japanese naval group, along the diameter of the long central axis of the elliptical of 2000 and the semi-circumference of the elliptical of nearly 2200 meters, maintained a speed of nearly 5 knots, and fired all the way to the northernmost point from the southernmost point of the ellipse.

It took about 14 minutes to drive.

It was also bombarded for 14 minutes!

Nearly 2,000 rounds of 120 high-explosive shells, 2,200 rounds of 47 solid shells, in just 14 minutes, all smashed into the Dagu North Artillery Group's 'door' character fort, 'high' character fort, 13 small forts, as well as the Dagu military station and Beishan fort of the anti-Japanese army.

From the north entrance of the Haihe River to the Beishan Fort, the distance of nearly 1.6 kilometers was full of wolf smoke and flames, covering the sky and the sun.

"Woo-"

From the Japanese No. 1 Guerrilla Squadron came the whistle one after another, which was a noble tribute to the shelling of the unit.

"Woo-"

The four ships of the Japanese army echoed the flute, and the ship group had already sailed to the northernmost point of the long radius of the ellipse, and all the ships had stopped shelling and began to make a 180-degree turn towards the eastern semicircle of the elliptical line.

Ito put down his binoculars with satisfaction, and in the footage he had just taken, all the batteries of the Qing army were shrouded in smoke and flames.

And the small city that was suddenly established at some point, the walls and houses collapsed in large pieces, and the houses were even more ablaze, and black smoke rose into the sky.

As the Japanese fleet stopped firing its guns, the sky and the earth suddenly fell silent, only the two detachments of ships cruising lightly on the sea, and the fires burning in various places at the mouth of the Haihe River.

There was no more blast of artillery fire.

This shows that in this short period of 14 minutes, after the First Guerrilla Army easily defeated the Southern Artillery Group of the Qing Dynasty, the Northern Artillery Group was also completely dumbfounded!

"I can't surprise anyone!"

The corners of Ito Hengyou's mouth rose slightly, and he said with a smile: "Now in the entire Bohai Rim, there are no military facilities worthy of attack by the Imperial Navy, not that I am afraid that those damn sunset horse monkeys who went to Dongying will blackmail again, and now I really order the fleet to go around Dongying." ”

"Commander, when the 11th Brigade is landed, the ship group will return to China, I really don't know if there is a chance to hit Port Arthur, the first fortress in East Asia?"

Omoto knew that he was a pity, as a captain, he couldn't perfectly take the first military port fortress of the Qing Dynasty, and if he didn't sink the two immortal kings in it, he couldn't help but say that it was a small flaw in perfection.

"Although the Qing army temporarily withstood the attack of the 2nd Army of the Imperial Army at the Lushun Fortress and created a small miracle at Shanhaiguan, it should not be forgotten that the Qing army was completely defeated in the general trend; In Shanhaiguan, nearly 40,000 elites of the Qing army, including a large number of their commanders and general soldiers, were all perfectly annihilated and killed by the empire! ”

Ito Henyoue said categorically: "Although it is not yet known whether the 1st Army of the Yama Prefecture General has hit the capital of the Qing Dynasty, it is not far away, plus the 8,000 troops of the 11th Brigade, and the Qing Dynasty's begging and embassy should have arrived in Tokyo by now; Therefore, this Lushun fortress, the armies have no chance. And yet—"

Ito Hyungyou suddenly raised his voice and said: "The Great Qing Dynasty is only the first step of the empire's strength, and Lushun is only a small fortress of an outdated country, our opponents, our eyes should not be on these eliminators!" You should look to the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Great West—"

"Boom!"

At this time, the 'high' fort of the Northern Artillery Group of the Great Qing Dynasty, which was still full of smoke and flames, suddenly emitted a muffled thunderous cannon roar.

A 120 armor-piercing bomb rushed out of the smoke at a rapid pace, and with a sharp roar of 'Woo-', it smashed into the Japanese naval group that had just completed the folding.
