January 15 in the Western calendar, early in the morning.

Dalian Bay.

In the twilight of the day, a small sampan dragged across the long ice and then slid into the icy water with a 'whoosh'.

The eight soldiers on the sampan rowed forward as they smashed the ice blocking the road with their oars, carefully dodging the massive ice.

In the center of the bay is the gunboat Torikai of the 2nd Guerrilla Group of the Combined Fleet, which is ready to receive the latest orders from the Hiroshima base camp.

Dashan Yan stood on the dock on the shore, deep down excited and humiliated.

I really didn't expect that in the end, Lushun's predicament would still have to be helped by the navy.

After this incident, the battle for sea routes within the military headquarters made the army even more unconfident!

It's really depressing and hurts people.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

Suddenly, in the west of Dalian Bay, the dense gunfire filled the sky and the earth like a tide, making the first shock and inexplicable Dashanyan tremble in surprise.

"Qing army, is it finally out of food?"

The chief of staff of the Second Army, Yasumi Osa, turned his head to look in the direction of Nanguanling, and his voice was full of long-awaited surprises.

"Order all departments, stick to their respective positions, and not let a single Qing army escape!"

Da Shanyan yelled and gave orders to the staff officers around him, and at the same time quickly jumped on his war horse and ran towards Nanguanling.

For a time, the entire Dalian Bay was like boiling water in a mess.

Countless Japanese soldiers who had just picked up their rice bowls, under the shouts of the officers, only cared about filling their mouths with a mouthful of white rice, and rushed to the gun rack to get their rifles.

Then they hurriedly assembled and rushed to the forward position of Nanguanling.

At this time, the ordinary soldiers of the Japanese army, almost all of them scolded the Qing army on the other side, and they had stopped for more than a month, so why did they think about fighting again.

Paralysis is really going to be beaten, so you can't wait for the Chinese New Year to fight?

If you are paralyzed, you lack the kung fu of these ten days, and you are in a hurry to see the king of Hades!

January 15th, 6 o'clock in the morning.

Wu Weiyang, Lin Yunyu, Li Bohu, Mao Chao, Xu Sijin,——

A group of anti-Japanese troops, senior generals of the Gongwei Army, and Huang Xingwu of Zhou Dingchen of the Jiesheng Battalion, each commanded the soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese position in their own combat area.

Before this attack, the anti-Japanese army completed a new round of reorganization, integrating the 5,000 soldiers in front of Wei Rucheng, Huang Shilin, and Zhang Guang into the system of the anti-Japanese army.

The total strength of the Lushun anti-Japanese army reached more than 17,000 people.

In this attack, the anti-Japanese army used all the troops except the artillery of the Lushunkou Fort, plus 2,000 Gong Guards and 500 Jiesheng Battalion Han Army.

The whole army has a total of 18,000 troops, and it is on a long front of 30 miles from Monk Island in the east to Sidaolingzi in the Bohai Bay in the west.

On the gentle slopes of the Nanguan Ridge and the undulating and steep peaks on the east and west sides, fierce battles were fought with the Japanese army.

"Kill!"

With the desperate charge of the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment and the 3rd Battalion of Lin Yunyu's department, the Japanese army soon fell to a dangerous mountain on the edge of Monk Island by the anti-Japanese army at the cost of more than 40 deaths.

After seizing the mountain ridge, Yuan Sikai, the deputy regiment commander in charge of the attack in this theater, did not hesitate to order the third battalion to continue the pursuit of victory and rush towards the Japanese position above the Fort on Monk Island.

"The whole army lined up in a skirmish line, the first row prostrate, the second and third rows squatted and fired; Wait for the attack order! ”

Marui Masaki, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Wing of the Japanese Army, led three squadrons of troops to defend the positions along the Monk Island Peninsula and the mainland.

Seeing the Japanese troops fleeing between the mountains, constantly being killed by the anti-Japanese troops who swooped down, screaming and rolling down the cliff, Marui Masaya couldn't help but scream 'wow' angrily, hiding behind a big rock, brandishing a saber and shouting.

"Find cover nearby and shoot prostrately!"

Yuan Sikai led more than 500 soldiers of the third battalion to rush down the hillside, and saw the Japanese army array in the grass 200 meters ahead, and it was obviously an extremely unwise thing to rush hard at this time.

"Shoot!"

Disappointed to see the anti-Japanese army rushing down the mountain, they actually stopped charging, and Marui Masaya had no choice but to order the troops to attack.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

The Japanese army and the defense line of Monk Island immediately burst into gunfire.

Xujiashan.

In the end, Dashanyan failed to go to the front line of Nanguanling to personally direct the battle, and he was dissuaded by Dasi Anchun and Shandi Yuanzhi, so he had to retreat to the second place and run up to Xujiashan to watch the battle from afar.

In just half an hour, the battle of more than 30 miles from Monk Island to Sidaolingzi became a mess.

Many of the positions were broken by the Qing army in a flood of water, but they were soon stopped by the second and third lines of defense behind.

A long jagged front from the Yellow Sea to the Bohai Sea was formed.

"This style of play of the Qing army is simple and direct, without a trace of planning and calculation; It seems that it is really possible that there is no food, and he just wants to break through the defense line of the empire in a desperate attempt and flee to Liaodong. ”

Major General Yoshimon Kurose, head of the artillery of the Second Army of the Japanese Army, suddenly felt a lot of evil anger in his heart.

In the Nanguanling artillery battle that day, he was in Dadongshan outside Jinzhou with the captain of the 3rd Brigade of the 6th Field Artillery Wing, Ishii Hayabusa, trying to repair the six steel-body artillery pieces that were damaged when Huang Jianxing of the Gongwei Army evacuated the Dadongshan artillery position.

When he got the news and rushed to the artillery position in Xujiashan, the idiot Imazu Takanori was making a caesarean section, and was kicked half to death by the angry half-dead Kurose Yoshimon with riding boots.

Today, it's finally time to let out this bad breath.

Just thinking about the cannons of the Lushun Fortress like a mountain, there was a hot current surging in Kurose's heart, which was even more exciting than pressing an old woman under him.

"This kind of unfettered battle is the most advantageous way to attack the Qing army that jumps over the wall in a hurry, and it is not good for the imperial army; Even if the losses of the imperial forces were smaller than those of the Qing army, they were still limited, and the approximate proportion of casualties would not be too far apart. ”

The chief of staff of the Second Army of the Japanese Army, Ojima Yasujun Daisa, held the binoculars and looked at them for a while, put down the binoculars and frowned and proposed: "There is an old saying in China, it is called the trapped beast is still fighting, and the poor should not be stopped; I suggest that a part of the Qing army can be released, let them break through the defense line of Nanguanling, and then use the layers of defense from Nanguanling to Jinzhou to kill them little by little. ”

Dasi Anchun's words made a group of generals and staff officers on Xujia Mountain all shine brightly.

"And we are now assembled in Dalian Bay, the Tokyo 1st Cavalry Brigade, and the 1st Squadron of the 6th Cavalry Brigade stationed in Jinzhou, which can carry out long-distance tracking and shooting, so that these Qing troops who escaped have no way to go up to the sky and no way to go down in the ice and snow."

The 2nd Army's Chief of Intelligence, Staff Officer Kamio Mitsutomi Nakasa, followed by the words of Yasumi Oji.

"Yo Xi, then let a Qing army come in first, as for how many troops to put and let the Qing army in which defense zone break through and break through-"

Da Shanyan was suddenly speechless, and in his sight, the No. 1 and No. 2 heights marked on the east flank of Nanguanling fell almost at the same time.

A large force of anti-Japanese troops wearing Western-style military uniforms rushed to the high ground positions, and then continued to rush towards the hillside.

"Yaga, bastard!"

Although Dashanyan had decided to release a position for some Qing troops to break through, the violent breakthrough of the Qing army on the opposite side still made him furious.

The result is this result, but this kind of passive process is obviously what Dashanyan does not want.
