"Alas, the key is not to hold Dalian Bay, otherwise Jinzhou City will be an excellent defensive battlefield;"

Xu Bangdao, who was on the side, looked annoyed: "Even if Jinzhou City is lost, as long as the infantry is fortified layer by layer between Xiaotuozi Bay and Jinzhou Bay in the Bohai Sea, and the naval division provides artillery support in Dalian Bay, it is easy to beat the Japanese out of Jinzhou and recapture it; Even if 100,000 Japanese troops come, we can resist it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Commander Xu is right, I deliberately sent a telegram to the sailor to encourage the generals, just hoping that Ding Ruchang and them can have a trace of blood and come over to help defend Dalian Bay; Hehe, as you can see, we are fighting against the Japanese fleet here, but they are hiding in Port Arthur, and the turtle's head is not daring to show it! ”

He Changying said coldly: "Those high-explosive bombs, why do you want to leave them at the bottom of the bilge?" In the end, it either sank to the bottom of the sea in vain, or became the trophy of the Japanese army! Why can't it be a weapon for us to kill the enemy? ”

He Changying's words made the generals' hearts sink, thinking to themselves, could it be that the commander-in-chief had already concluded that the Beiyang Naval Division was doomed to destruction?

"It's very difficult, only the sailors have always taken food from the army's mouth, just to get them to give up a few flowering bombs, it's more difficult than climbing to the sky."

Xu Bangdao listened to He Changying's words and shook his head again and again.

"Send a telegram to Li Zhongtang, the Yamen of Jinmen Zhili: The battle of Lushun is related to the survival of Beiyang, and it is also related to the turning point of the war between the Qing and Japan, and Lushun must not be lost; Hearing that the flowering bombs ordered by the customs department are about to arrive in Tianjin, Anzhi's stealing water division cannot go to sea to fight against Japanese ships, and cannot enter the port to defend the territory and cooperate in the battle; ”

He Changying complained coldly, and staff officer Li Yuanwen quickly recorded: "It is not only a threat to the Japanese troop carriers, so that they do not dare to easily enter the Bohai Sea for frog jumping operations; In this way, to deter the Japanese merchant ships, only ordinary small artillery live ammunition is required, and Arthur Defense urgently needs to import flowering shells to blockade the tiger's tail and severely damage the Japanese ships; This electricity is all measured by the country, and there is no trace of selfish distractions, please allow it. ”

"Send a telegram to Tongzhou's 'Supervision and Military Affairs Office': Lushun must not be lost, and if Lushun is lost, Tianjin and Beijing will be in danger, and tens of thousands of troops in southern Liaoning have been prepared to kill Shengren in order to repay the country; however, they have courage in vain, but they have no sharp weapons to control the enemy, and when they hear that the Nanyang Naval Division has a batch of Western flowering bombs that will arrive in Shanghai, please transfer them to the north, instead of staying in the treasury and rusting and mildew, why not take them out to the warriors who are going to die to kill the enemy?" This electricity is all measured by the country, and there is no trace of selfish distractions, please allow it. ”

With He Changying's oral complaint, the surrounding generals looked at each other, where are these two telegrams, they are simply two sharp knives that cut out the heart.

If Li Hongzhang does not agree, then in order to block the hundreds of millions of secluded people in the world, he, Li Hongzhang, must order the Beiyang Naval Division, which is carrying flowering bombs imported from the West, to go to sea to fight against the Japanese Combined Fleet.

It is also the same reason, if Weng Tongyi and the newly appointed governor of Liangjiang, Zhang Zhidong, do not agree to give up the flowering bombs, then in case Lushun is lost and the Japanese army transports troops to attack Jinmen, they will have to bear most of the great responsibility.

One is not good, that is, like Qin Hui and others, it will be stinking for thousands of years.

This kid is ruthless enough, he is ruthless to others, don't be more ruthless yourself, and leave no way back!

I don't want to think that once these two telegrams are sent, they will directly offend Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, and Weng Tongyi, and these bigwigs.

In short, the powerful ministers of the world can make him give most of the guilt at one time!

"He Dutong, can the tone of this telegram be a little more tactful?"

Xu Bangdao admired and had a good impression of He Changying, the little general, and couldn't help but want to persuade him when he was young and vigorous and offended people to death.

He Changying shook his head slowly: "It's not that I'm ruthless, if I'm not ruthless, these old foxes will give me Tai Chi, and it won't be enough to go around the east and west, this dynasty is such a slot; In that case, I won't give them a way out! ”

Seeing that Xu Bangdao still wanted to speak, He Changying smiled: "Commander Xu, after this big battle, it is unknown whether we can survive or not, why bother about the future?" If you can really be distressed in the future, that's a good thing, at least it means that we're still alive, right? ”

Listening to He Changying's words, all the generals couldn't help but have a sour nose, and then thought about the dead comrades-in-arms, all of them had a sad face.

"That's it, that's it!"

Xu Bangdao was also poked into tears by He Changying's finger, and the old tears in his eyes couldn't help but shoot out.

This time I left Jinmen in a hurry, and I couldn't tell my old wife and children that I would never see each other.

"For the sake of this country not to be humiliated, we bravely stood up and used our chests to block the enemy's artillery fire, that is, to prevent these evil shells from falling into our rear homes, so that our parents and relatives can live and work in peace and contentment."

He Changying looked at the solemn officers and soldiers around him, and roared: "The land of Yaoshun, the land of our ancestors, the homeland where we have multiplied for generations, will never be defiled by dogs; I swear that I will expel the Japanese captives and never die! ”

"Expelling the Japanese captives, never dying!"

"Expelling the Japanese captives, never dying!"

On Monk Island, the roar that shook the sky shook the sky.

Dalian Bay Estuary, Japanese Combined Fleet Ship Group, Hashidate Flagship, Operations Center Hall.

"The Qing army has a brave will to fight, but the artillery operation skills are extremely inferior; If the Imperial fleet could drive to a distance of 4,500 meters, with the dense artillery fire of the Haqikaisi 47mm rapid-fire guns like raindrops, the Qing army battery would have more artillery and powder. ”

The Combined Fleet Staff Officer Masato was Captain Taro's words, and a group of generals frowned when they heard it.

"At present, gunboats and torpedo boats are focusing on sweeping the sea area beyond the range of 7 kilometers of the Qing army's artillery fire.

The commander of the minesweeping detachment of the Combined Fleet, the captain of the gunboat Akaisei, and Captain Tetsutaro Sato, who took over the position of Hachiro Sakamoto, who was killed in the Battle of Daitogou, as the commander in charge of minesweeping on the front line, spoke:

"When clearing mines at 6,500 meters, eleven ships had the experience of being bombarded at close range by Qing artillery fire; If you go any further, you will face great danger. ”

"Yaga!"

The captain of the 'Fuso', who was beaten half to death by the Qing army's artillery fire and is still docked at Xiaoshan Island for repairs, Arai Arikan Daisa, was furious when he heard this, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "You weak ships must have the consciousness of being cannon fodder for the empire and going to death!" ”

"In today's battle, the mistake lies in not arrogantly thinking that concentrating firepower to attack a fort and turning it into a ghost domain can break the fighting spirit of the Qing army!"

Hearing Ito speak, the conference room suddenly fell silent.

"The intelligence obtained from the First Army before made the Combined Fleet misalign the fighting spirit of the Qing Army; Just like in the Battle of Dadonggou, there were Qing ships that fled in fear of death, and there were Qing ships that resisted stubbornly. ”

Ito lit a cigarette and curled a cigarette: "Obviously, this team in front of the Imperial Navy is a stubborn army, although it is annoying, but it is undeniable that this is an adversary worthy of respect and needs to be taken seriously. ”

"Today, all ships are overhauled and prepared for war; Early tomorrow morning, the minesweeper detachment will continue to clear mines within a range of 7 kilometers. ”

"Hey!"

Tetsutaro Sato stood up and shouted in response.

"The 2nd Guerrilla Force, together with 'Chicheng', replaces the attached ship group of the Brigade and guards the direction of Port Arthur in the vicinity of Laobian Island."

"Hey!"

The captain of the King Kong ship, Captain Hotta Temitsuro, stood up with a disappointed face and responded to the order.

"The rest of the warships will enter Dalian Bay early tomorrow morning, and the first guerrilla team will bombard the three batteries of Monk Island, and the first guerrilla team will bombard the two batteries of Laolong Island, and the cameras of the auxiliary ship groups will provide supporting fire; Bang! ”

Ito Yuhyung slammed the table hard, his eyes flashing with fierceness: "Tomorrow, I will let them not release a single shot, and they will die alive!" ”

"Hey!"

In the war room, there was a loud roar.
