January 19, 4 a.m.

Members of the Executive Committee of the General Office, the highest body of the Anti-Japanese Army, held an extraordinary meeting in the conference room.

In addition to He Changying, chairman of the executive committee, Xu Ru, Xiong Kaiyu, and Qu Desheng, a preparatory member, four people.

Wu Weiyang, Lin Yunyu, vice chairmen of the Executive Committee, Shen Zhaoao, Chen Shijie, Mao Chao, Li Bohu, Hao Tiansheng, Li Zhenhua, Zuo Shangqing, Liu Xueren, and ten members gathered together.

The house was filled with smoke.

"After Ding Ruchang went through these things, his temper was much smaller; The commander-in-chief entered the governor's yamen for the first time, and the little old man was present at that time, and his tone was bullish and coaxing, but now it seems that the commander-in-chief's inference about their Beiyang is the fulfillment of eight or nine inseparable tens. ”

Mao Chao held a cigarette in his mouth: "This old man has a good heart, if I were like him, now the world is cursed, Guangxu three days and two telegrams reprimand, I would have led the sailor to the sea to fight the Japanese army to the death." ”

"A navy that does not abide by military discipline or is greedy for life and fears death, if they do not reflect on and change now, I would rather expel them from Lushun, because the existence of such an army is not only useless, but will bring subtraction to Lushun's defense."

Lin Yunyu said in a deep voice: "The commander-in-chief has instructed that it is better not to have a sailor than to let their corrupt military discipline bring a negative number to Lushun. ”

"The key is not to let them come into contact with some people who are interested in knowing the changes in Lushun; Chen Shijie, this will be handed over to your gendarmerie brigade. ”

Tonight's matter, Wu Weiyang is also helpless, because according to the plan, part of the Beiyang Navy Division ships will cruise to Jinmen and Shanhaiguan in the near future.

They must not allow the Lushun armies to be reorganized by the anti-Japanese army, and this matter was reported back to Jinmen.

"The Westport wharf, the maintenance dock, and the naval camp by the wharf have all been designated as off-limits; The maintenance personnel who participated in the Zhenyuan, Laiyuan, and Jingyuan ships have also passed strict examination and admonishment, and those who are not sure are directly excluded this time, so that there are too few maintenance workers, but they are not in a hurry, and they can always be repaired slowly. ”

Chen Shijie, who served as the captain of the newly formed military police brigade, said confidently: "This matter is not a problem at all. ”

In Chen Shijie's office, there are still 300 copies of "The Scream", and at this time he is ambitious to take this opportunity to quietly send the propaganda team in, and infiltrate the soldiers on the Zhenyuan, Laiyuan, and Jingyuan ships.

"Now I'll read the list of reinforcements drawn up by the General Staff."

Shen Zhaoao picked up a letter and began to read: "Wang Shizhen, Liu Gangzhi, Lu Zhaomei, Yang Guang, Li Xiang, Xu Weijie, Ye Chuansong——"

Shen Zhaoao read the twenty-seven lists in one breath, then looked at everyone and said, "What are your opinions?" ”

Since the Japanese Second Army attacked southern Liaoning, the people who have taken refuge in Lushun from Jinzhou and Dalian, plus the original residents of Lushun, have approached 40,000 people.

During this time, because of the treatment of the anti-Japanese army, a large number of people asked to join the army, and the anti-Japanese army recruited about 3,000 people from the north inside and out.

Excluding the more than 1,600 cavalry of the cavalry regiment that rushed to Liaodong, the strength of the Lushun anti-Japanese army had reached more than 26,000 at this time.

However, because of the combination of the Lushun army, even with such a good opportunity this time, He Changying and the command office of the anti-Japanese army still did not dare to send a large number of ordinary soldiers to reinforce the Shanhaiguan regiment.

It's just that some excellent officers at all levels are selected, ready to fill the frame.

Wang Shizhen went to Jinmen, in addition to transporting about 100 rounds of rifle ammunition to the Dagu Military Station, in order to quietly transport nearly 1,000 beautiful 120mm caliber solid armor-piercing bullets from the Lushun Arsenal to the Dagu Military Station when the Beiyang Naval Division returned to Lushun.

Replace it unknowingly, and dig nearly 1,000 120mm high-explosive shells from the Dagu Fort to get from digging tunnels.

Although most of the high-explosive bombs purchased by the imperial court this time were allocated to the Beiyang Naval Division, in addition to the Weihai Wei Security Battery, there is now a lot of pressure in the bilge of the naval fleet.

However, with the current relationship with the sailor, it is estimated that it will be difficult to want their baby.

"Well, since no one has raised opinions, it is so decided; Everyone rest early, Yun Yu, Zhao Ao, Mao Chao, tomorrow to participate in the discussion with the Beiyang Naval Division. ”

Wu Weiyang yawned and looked at the time, it was already five o'clock in the morning, and half an hour later, the soldiers of all departments were about to start their drills to welcome the arrival of the 22nd of the lunar month.

On the morning of the next day, the Lushun military represented by Jiang Zikang, Song Xi, Wu Weiyang, Lin Yunyu, Shen Zhaoao, and Mao Chao, and the Beiyang naval division represented by Ding Ruchang, Liu Buyun, Yang Yonglin, Qiu Baoren, Ye Zuqi, Li He, and Lin Guoxiang held a consultation on the Dingyuan ship.

After the first confrontation last night, the Beiyang Navy Division knew that the rising stars of the anti-Japanese army in front of them were not good guys.

Therefore, this group of Beiyang Sailor Qingzhuang faction, whose eyes are higher than the sky and whose eyes are long above their heads, have put away their difficult and domineering spirit, and their conversations are not angry or angry, and they are quite kind.

This made Mao Chao, who didn't sleep last night, was pulled over by Wu Weiyang to sing blackface, and gags, yawned again and again, and was depressed.

After a contested negotiation, the two sides reached the following agreement.

Because it was in wartime, the wharf, dock, and wharf barracks of Xigang were temporary activity areas for the sailors, and they were turned into forbidden areas and garrisoned by the military police of the anti-Japanese army.

The Pingyuan ship of the Beiyang Naval Division, 8 torpedo boats, 2 minelaying boats, Zhennan, Zhenbei, Zhenxi, and 3 gunboats remained on the surface of the garrison harbor of the military port.

Zhenyuan, Jingyuan, and Laiyuan will enter the dock and carry out a thorough repair.

The Port Arthur provided all the materials and parts for repair, and provided the food and various basic material needs of the soldiers stationed in the port.

Ding Ruchang and the others were actually not very satisfied with this agreement, because since the construction of this Lushun Military Port, it has always been the main base of their sailors, and it is their other home besides Weihaiwei.

To put it mildly, just like Wang Ping, who had just been released, scolded them, in fact, they were the masters of the Lushun Military Port, and these armies were just janitors sent by the imperial court to guard the water division.

As a result, now he seems to be a door-to-door begging for food called Hanako, not only the original mansion, the house can not go to stay, but also restricted freedom of movement.

However, the fiasco of Dadonggou has worn out the arrogance and confidence of these naval generals, and a series of proud achievements of the anti-Japanese army have also made them unconvinced.

So I had to agree to the request of the anti-Japanese army with grievances.

After that, Ding Ruchang did not mention the previous plan to inspect the front line of the anti-Japanese army, in his opinion, if even such a 'more real' anti-Japanese army could not hold Lushun, then the Weihai guard army would be even more unbearable.

Good feelings choose trees and inhabit them.

Unless they flee south, Port Arthur will be the only driftwood that is related to the survival of Beiyang sailors.

Lushun is here, and the sailor may or may not be there.

However, Lushun is dead, and the sailor is dead!
