"Woo-"

Matsushima, Yoshino, and Naniwa 8 ships lightly swept in front of the Beitang Fort, cleaving the waves towards the northern sea.

The field of vision of the three of them became smaller and smaller, until finally it became a few inconspicuous small black dots on the sea.

"Counsel it."

Liu Gangzhi sat on the concrete floor at the top of the tower, took out a cigarette and threw one away, took out the map in the marching bag and spread it out, frowning and looking down.

Yang Guang and Shi Weicheng also sat down and stared at the map.

During the whole process, the three of them did not say a word of nonsense, but the meaning was already very clear.

- This battle must be fought!

"Since the Japanese army chose to land in the area of the mouth of the Tang River, and now that the ice along the coast has begun to melt slowly, their landing will never be too fast, and it will not be too concentrated; It was supposed to be a scattered landing along the bay near the mouth of the river. ”

Shi Weicheng looked at the Ninghe camp on the map: "Liu Weiye and Mu Changcai, two idiots, caused the troops to run a lot of unjust roads in vain, fortunately, we came first on horseback, and we had to send someone back immediately to inform the troops to change the route." ”

"From here, there is a distance of about 50 miles along the coastline to the mouth of the Tang River, which is about the same as taking Yangjiabo to the mouth of the Tang River from the Ninghe Daying; However, the vanguard should have marched to the camp town, and it was only a dozen miles away from here. ”

Yang Guang shook his head and said: "The main force is scheduled to set off at 13 o'clock in the afternoon, and now the time is 11 o'clock, there is no suitable horsepower here, so you can only walk back to inform you, it is estimated that you can meet it in the middle at about 14 o'clock; In such a tossing and turning, the troops will not be able to reach the mouth of the Tang River today,—— but once the Japanese army is allowed to gain a foothold at the mouth of the river tomorrow morning, this battle will be more difficult to fight. ”

Shi Weicheng and Yang Guang finished expressing their thoughts, so they stopped talking and waited for Liu Gangzhi's decision.

The sun of the near noon was shining warmly on the three of them, and seven tired half-dead war horses were lying on the dry grass by the river, and the horses' noses were still panting in the hope of 'poof, poof'.

"Click-"

After the Ji Canal on the south side of the fort was hit by a few shots, the torn ice became extremely unstable under the impact of the slowly flowing river below, and the sound of a string of ice bursting and splashing water was heard from time to time.

Liu Gangzhi's gaze looked at the mouth of the Ji Canal that was stirring the mixture of ice water.

"It's a good idea, but it has to be predicated: it must be attacked before the Japanese guard posts are spread out on a large scale, and the Japanese have a large number of soldiers or military resources on the ice belt, and it is worth the cost of bombardment;"

Shi Weicheng guessed Liu Gangzhi's mind at a glance: "There are also 80 shells, we have to go to Dagukou, 30 miles away, to load, and then pull to the mouth of the Tang River,—— and now Dagukou doesn't know what it looks like." ”

Shi Weicheng said regretfully: "There are so many uncertainties in such a back and forth delay, and the operability is too low." ”

Only then did Yang Guang understand the meaning of Shi Weicheng's words, he looked at the bronze cannons on the Beiying Fort and asked, "Aren't these cannons good?" ”

"It must be like the East Battalion, with a stormy blow, without leaving them a little time to react and struggle!"

Shi Weicheng said: "These bronze antiques have a slow rate of fire, and they are all bulky fixed gun mounts, and when you are tired and pulled to the mouth of the Tang River, the Japanese army can hit the Ninghe camp." ”

"What's that?"

Yang Guang's gaze crossed the Ji Canal and bet on the coastal post road in Nandaying.

In his sight, a group of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the anti-Japanese army, holding bright red flags, drove a long convoy and came in a hurry.

South Post Road at the mouth of the Ji Canal.

"Brothers, hurry up, go farther, Lao Tzu won't look back, save yourself from watching the fire!"

Ever since he saw the billowing wolf smoke in the south, Han Sanbao was in a very bad mood all the way, and cursed the Oriental warship all the way.

His recruit company, in the military treasury of the Dagu General Military Office, loaded a total of 500 80 high-explosive shells, 100 75 solid ammunition, and used 12 carriages.

Then he traveled all the way quickly, arrived at the Ji Canal at 11 o'clock in the morning, and will go north along the Ji Canal to Ninghe Daying as planned.

"Captain, I don't know if our artillery shells have been transported over hard, will the Jinmen Brigade dare to fight the Japanese army?"

Xi Baolong, a squad leader under Han Sanbao, walked sweatily and said: "If you really dare to fight, it will not be in vain for our brothers' mission, hurry up!" ”

", they dare not fight! - Don't you look at Lao Tzu and spit on them? Besides, the Jinmen Brigade wiped out the elite soldiers of the entire 3 wings of the Japanese army in Shanhaiguan, can you dare to fight? Huh——, what's that? ”

Han Sanbao looked at a half-collapsed watchtower on the north bank of the Ji Canal in surprise, and said with a smile: "Brothers, it is the Jinmen Brigade who has come to meet us; Our days of hard work have finally come to an end! ”

At 11:20 a.m., Han Sanbao crossed the Ji Canal and met Liu Gangzhi.

"What a bear stationmaster, admire, admire!"

Although Liu Gangzhi and Xiong Kaiyu are very familiar, neither of them has said a word between them, and Liu Gangzhi, who is overjoyed in his heart at this time, can't help but praise loudly, and he barely admires the No. 1 henchman of Jinmen who is the commander-in-chief.

"Command!"

At this time, Liu Gangzhi finally had the real confidence to fight against the 11th Brigade of the Japanese Army, and began to give orders to the heralds loudly:

"Order the main force and the artillery battalion, bring all the rifles, artillery, and prepare another 500,000 rounds of ammunition, and must arrive at Jiujintuo Village by the early morning of tomorrow; Be careful, release scouts, and don't alarm the Japanese troops in the area around the mouth of the Tang River. ”

"Ordered the new soldiers of Dagu, leave part of the garrison behind, and the rest of the soldiers immediately come to the area of the mouth of the Tang River to assemble; Shi Weicheng, the troops are under your command for the time being. ”

"Company Commander Han, after your convoy of mules and horses rests, immediately continue to set off, and after arriving at Caijiabao, march away from the coastline, and must arrive at Jiujintuo Village in the early morning of tomorrow; Also, get your 5 horses out of the way. ”

Han Sanbao was depressed in his heart, there were 156 people in their company, and there were more than a dozen rifles in their hands, and when the coolies hurried all the way to meet the Jinmen Brigade here.

I thought I could deliver errands, but I didn't expect to have to continue to be a coolie along the way.

"After cooking,—— feed the horses and eat grass cakes, and continue to be a coachman when you have eaten enough!"

Han Sanbao shouted unhappily and strode down the Beiying Fort.

Soon, smoke curled up from the Ji Canal by the canal, and the soldiers smashed ice and scooped up water, and raised a fire to cook.

First heat the marching pot with a bonfire, then brush it with a layer of lard, and pour the batter mixed with flour and seasoning river water into the pot, and 'swoop' the brown brown that will soon be fried, and the nose will be full of fragrance.

And the iron bowl with the batter poured into it was also washed, then scooped it with water, put it on the fire, and when the water boiled, throw in some dried meat floss, salt, and dried sea vegetables.

This is followed by a bowl of delicious seafood broth.

"Brothers, eat!"

Han Sanbao's broken gong shouted from below: "I eat so hard to work." ”

"These guys, good food."

Liu Gangzhi, who had been running all morning, was already hungry, and he couldn't help but salivate when he smelled the aroma coming from under the fort.

"Hehe, brigade commander, you have to tell them that you will shoot them when you arrive in Jiujintuo Village, and this Han Company Commander will definitely invite you to eat pancakes and drink broth."

Yang Guang smiled cheaply.

"No need to drink broth; Lao Tzu wants to slaughter meat! ”

Liu Gangzhi looked at the team coming from the west from afar, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
