At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the wind settled, and the goose feathers and heavy snow began to fall quietly from the sky. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"It's snowing, it's snowing, it's snowing, it's better to fall into a white expanse.!"

From Xiuyan on Liaoyang West Road, to Motianling and Horse Racing on Liaoyang East Road, and then to Jinzhou and Lushun in southern Liaoning, all the Qing troops were very happy.

Especially Nie Guilin of Xiuyan Defense, Jiashan, the guard of Xiuyan City, Song Qing and Nie Shicheng of Motianling, and Yike Tanga of Saimaji.

Hopefully, this timely snow will allow the Japanese to stop attacking.

After Xiuyan is Haicheng, Yingkou.

Motianling, behind the horse racing set is Liaoyang.

They are already irreversible!

Phoenix, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army.

After several days of thinking, Yama Prefecture Youtomo finally formally put forward his "Three Strategies for Conquering the Qing Dynasty" for the future process of the entire Qing-Japanese war, and sent it to the Hiroshima base camp.

Looking at the slowly falling snow outside the door, Shan County Youpeng had a resolute face: "I can give you a choice, but I must kill this Qing pig for the New Year!" ”

Toyo, the wartime base camp of Hiroshima.

Yamaguchi Aritomo's telegram immediately caused an uproar in the base camp, and at the military meeting chaired by Meiji himself, Ito Hirobumi stood up directly and denied it.

"The first strategy is to land again from the sea to the vicinity of Shanhaiguan and establish a base area for direct operations; Hehe, the Earl of Shanxian seems to have forgotten that Lushun and Weihaiwei are still in the hands of the Qing army, and although the Beiyang Naval Division has suffered heavy losses, its strength has not decreased; Therefore, before the empire did not occupy Lushun and Weihaiwei, and did not defeat the Beiyang Naval Division, the first strategy was simply nonsense. ”

After listening to Hirobumi Ito's words, Emperor Meiji, Saigo Congmichi, Mutsu Munemitsu, Kawakami Koroku, Kayama Shiki, Navy Osayama Gonbei, First Chief of Staff Headquarters Masaki Terauchi, and Kodama Gentaro, Chief of Staff of the Hiroshima Base Camp -

These top-level builders of the East, no matter what mood they have, have to nod their heads in agreement with Ito Hirobumi's conclusions.

"The second strategy, the first, and the second army all marched towards Lushun and moved the base of the military station to the ice-free port; Isn't the attack on Lushun exactly what the Second Army is doing? Moreover, the second strategy of the general of Shan County is just an improvement of the first policy, and his purpose is to attack Shanhaiguan by sea and land after the occupation of Lushun. ”

The top floor of the Oriental War in the conference hall was all looking at each other and smiling, everyone knew that difficult and persistent guy too well.

"Third, abandon Lushun, and the whole army immediately marches north to capture Mukden;"

Ito Hirobumi smiled and began to read the third policy: "I'm afraid this is the real intention of the general of the prefecture; It's just that Liaodong is dripping into ice, and the Qing army is relying on the dangerous city, with the cold winter coming, the logistics supply of the empire will become more and more difficult, and the soldiers lack food and clothing, how to fight this battle? ”

"I suggest that the First Army of the Army shrink and retreat to the front line of Jiulian City, and after the Second Army captures Lushun, it will be stationed in place; Everything will wait until next spring, and then the next step of the operation. ”

Gentaro Kodama, the chief of staff who remained at the base camp, immediately made his position clear.

Everyone in the conference room nodded again and again, not to mention the cold winter weather, even if it was cold without a brazier in the house, how could they go to war.

"Well, your staff will give an order to Shanxian according to this resolution."

Emperor Meiji nodded in agreement with Hirobumi Ito, who thought that the war had already given him too many surprises in the current situation.

Now that the empire has taken the military initiative, there is no need to take risks.

Anzhou, Jinjia Village.

A group of ronins from the East, led by the local defenders and interpreters, entered the village.

"All the silver, jewelry, including copper plates, were deliberately left behind by the Qing army; Fat chickens, pigs, sheep, all confiscated - flowers, flower girls! ”

A shouting ronin squad leader saw a woman in a topless dress running out of a house, and the pair of white and tender peaks on his chest that only had the right to show when he gave birth to a son suddenly made the ronin captain's greedy saliva flow out.

"Flower girl, flower girl—"

The leader of the ronin squad shouted and chased after her, pressed the frightened pale woman to the ground, lifted the cotton skirt and lay down in broad daylight.

"Ahh

In the heavy snow, there were women's wails and moans everywhere.

In this part of North Korea, these Oriental ronins who are desperately suppressed in the country have become extremely unscrupulous.

Like a hungry wolf.

When they saw gold, silver, money, and fat chickens and pigs, they went up and robbed them.

When he saw a beautiful woman, he rushed up and insulted her.

With a look in the eyes and a wrong word, he will draw a knife and kill people.

――

Unconsciously, because of the Black Dragon Society's 'Heavenly Bless Hero' raging in the Road of Peace.

The entire Korean people of Pyongan Province, the landlords and gentry, were pressing a fierce flame in their hearts.

It is like a surging lava lurking under a tranquil extinct volcano.

Yanbian Lake, the station of the North Korean Army's mountain guerrilla interception brigade.

Because of the opening of the route from Shuifeng to Yanbian Lake, Shuifeng China and North Korea jointly resisted the Japanese army, and the Shuifeng anti-Japanese army stayed in the logistics department, and the contact with Fang Dahai became close and frequent.

Luo Hongwei of the Anzhou Intelligence Station secretly moved the telegraph line to a deep valley on the west bank of Yanbian Lake, so that communication between Jinzhou, Dalian and Yanbian Lake was immediately established.

The Jinzhou Liaodong Anti-Japanese Commander-in-Chief Office immediately sent a telegram order: Continue to hide, steadily expand strength, work hard to train troops, and wait for instructions.

At this time, Fang Dahai, Chen Zhihui, Wang Guanji, Huang Minghe, Chen Erniu, and a group of commanders of the guerrilla brigade were sitting on the leeward side of the lake to burn a fire and hold a meeting, waiting for the lake fish.

The roar of the surrounding mountains and forests suddenly stopped, and the snow fell from the sky like goose feathers.

"Haha, it's finally snowing; Brothers, it won't be long before we can exert our might! ”

Looking at the heavy snowfall, Fang Dahai laughed happily.

After the heavy snowfall, the entire Northeast region will start to start extreme weather for several cold winters.

The coast was frozen, and the logistics of the Japanese army would have to stop water transportation and rely on land transportation.

"It's time to fight a dozen too, otherwise those new North Korean soldiers who joined with hatred will be suffocated by hatred!"

Wang Guanji looked at a group of North Korean men who were swimming in the lake to catch fish, and knew that they were not catching fish, but using the cold lake water to extinguish the resentment of their family's ruin.

Otherwise, they would either be angry to death, or they would go out of the mountain to Anzhou City with guns without permission, and find the Japanese army and those ronins to fight hard.

Seoul, Jeongdong, Ginkgo Garden.

When Miki Kamio walked into the ginkgo orchard lonely, the leaves of the ginkgo trees in the yard had already fallen, and only the bare branches remained.

Concubine Kamio, who was also an orphan and was adopted by Kamio Mitsutomi, stood faintly under the eaves of the attic, quietly waiting for her titular sister.

And Shan Shan Xiaoman, who is wearing a traditional kimono, has cute big eyes, and when her eyelashes are light and shaking, a snowflake is stained on her eyelids.

"It's snowing!"

Shan Shan Xiaoman looked at the sky and said.

Snowing?

Miki Kamio stretched out her right hand and spread out her palm.

A large white snowflake gently fell on the palm of her hand, and then slowly melted.

"Boom-"

The wind stopped and the snow and the waves were fixed, and the Oriental Combined Fleet lined up in a horizontal formation at the mouth of Dalian Bay.

With the explosion of the 320mm caliber Ghanaian main gun in the bow of the ironclad cruiser Hashidate, the artillery battle in Dalian Bay officially began.
