"Didn't the commander-in-chief already say that this is the new explosives of the Japanese army? Aim, aim for me! ”

Huang Jianxing gave Yin Desheng a perfunctory sentence, and ran to the heavy artillery in the left position and shouted: "Mal, the movements must be numb, and the eyes must be watery!" ”

"Boom-"

As he spoke, the second round of blows from the six rapid-fire guns on the Hashidate arrived. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The battle began to grind into a stalemate.

In the western sky, the remnant sun is like blood

He Changying and a group of staff officers stayed at the main peak of Dadong Mountain for a whole day.

Seeing that night was approaching and the Japanese warships withdrew from Dalian Bay, He Changying's worries were slowly put down, but more distressed and worried.

Although the battle report has not yet come out, He Changying knew that today's casualties were absolutely astonishing when he saw the East Fort, the Middle Fort, and the Huangshan Fort on Monk Island from the telescope.

In the telescope, the three batteries were 'plowed' by the Japanese fleet with artillery fire inside and out over and over again, more than half of the heavy artillery had been completely destroyed, and the medics carried the corpses and seriously wounded figures on the batteries, and He Changying himself looked numb.

What's more, what made He Changying even more shocked was that the Japanese ship responsible for attacking the Huangshan Fort chose to use high-explosive shells to 'wash the ground' and use solid armor-piercing shells to destroy the double blow of the artillery base platform.

In the end, He Changying found that the Huangshan Fort had even stopped shelling completely, and it was estimated that the fort was seriously damaged, and there were no more than enough flat ground security artillery trucks.

"Brother Jiang, be happy, the dog!"

On the east fort of Monk Island, Pan Jinshan, who was covered in smoke and dust, stretched out his left leg and asked the medical staff to bandage his shrapnel-cut calf.

At the height of the artillery fire, Pan Jinshan and Jiang Muchen finally showed the blood of the old man and ran to a 120mm backframe gun to bombard the Japanese ship.

Both of them had stayed in the artillery camp of the Renzi Army before, and they had not forgotten the basic artillery operations, and the guns were also put in good shape.

In particular, a shell smashed the rear mast of the 'Sanjing Ship' Hashili, and Pan Jinshan and Jiang Muchen shouted excitedly.

At this moment, the two suddenly felt that as men, they should be like this.

His performance in Jiangdong Qiaodian Heights and Jiziling Heights is really unmanly.

"The Huangshan Fort is abandoned; If it weren't for winter, a large amount of soil would have been leveled overnight, and the current soil would be all frozen and could not be dug up at all. ”

Chief of Staff Shen Zhaoao was in charge of the headquarters in Jinzhou City, and Wang Shizhen, the first deputy staff officer, had been in charge of logistics in Dalian Bay.

By He Changying's side, only Peng Qianyan, the second deputy staff officer, followed him with a few staff officers and clerks.

"Then the beach is not full of sand, can't you use sand to build forts?"

Chen Xiaoliu, the guard platoon commander on the side, interjected wisely.

"So in your life, you can only be a platoon leader."

He Changying reprimanded Chen Xiaoliu, and was not in the mood to deal with this 'genius child' anymore, so he said with a heavy heart: "Go down the mountain." ”

"If the Japanese army is all armor-piercing shells, it is okay to spread sand, but if their high-explosive shells hit the fort, these sands are countless dense bullets, forming secondary damage; Think about it—"

Huang Bojie now gets along well with the simple Chen Xiaoliu, and seeing that the guy is still dazed and unconvinced, he kindly whispered a little.

"My mother!"

Only then did Chen Xiaoliu figure it out, and felt like he was shooting all over his body, and his whole body was numb.

Golden State City, night.

"——, 359 sergeants were killed today, 76 were seriously wounded, and 481 were lightly wounded; The Huangshan Fort has been seriously damaged, and if it is unable to level enough platforms, the shelling will no longer be able to provide effective accuracy, and the remaining batteries still have 23 intact guns, and 6 are trying to be repaired. ”

"The upper deck of the Japanese Itsukushima was severely damaged by the fire, and it did not directly participate in the battle in the early morning, and the rest of the ships were all hit by batteries, otherwise there was no obvious damage."

After listening to the battle report, there was a suppressed silence in the war room, and more than 900 people were seriously injured, seriously injured, and lightly injured in just one day, and more than half of the artillery was damaged.

So after tomorrow's battle, how many soldiers will be killed and seriously wounded, and it is estimated that the remaining four batteries will also be scrapped, right?

Everyone looked at He Changying, waiting for his decision.

"Since the Japanese ships have destroyed the middle battery, then a similar attack may be taken tomorrow on the remaining four batteries, that is to say, in the coastal defense battle of Dalian Bay, we can only hold on for one more day tomorrow at most; And the casualties should still be staggering. ”

Shen Zhaoao directly pointed out the truth that everyone knew, but no one said.

"We have two more days; Starting tomorrow, Jinzhou and Dalian, all vehicles and baggage will be evacuated, and the artillery on the Chenjiagou Heights will be withdrawn by one-third tonight, so as not to arouse the alarm of the Japanese troops on the opposite side. ”

He Changying finally made up her mind to retreat: "The night after tomorrow, the whole army will retreat in an orderly manner; Lin Yunyu's department, as well as all the artillery units, were stationed in Nanguanling, and the rest of the troops were stationed in steps; The General Staff came up with a detailed plan. ”

"Four coastal defense batteries, each of which will only go up one company at a time tomorrow, will enter the bunker when the Japanese ship's artillery fire is fierce, and harass and attack when it is sparse. I don't want to get results, but I just want to make sure that tomorrow the Japanese minesweepers will not enter the 6.5-kilometer sea area to clean up. ”

He Changying said with a decisive word: "Prepare for the Nanguanling Blockade Battle." ”

Outside Dalian Bay, large and small mountain islands.

"How's the situation with the Itsukushima?"

In today's naval battle, Ito Sukehiro fought very refreshingly, of course, if there was no failure of the Itsukushima ship, it would be even more perfect.

"The main parts, the facilities have been repaired, and tomorrow we can participate in the battle as usual."

Yokoo stood up and reported with a depressed face.

Ito Yuhiro nodded with satisfaction: "In today's battle, the ships performed very well, especially Naniwa and Takachiho; In tomorrow's battle, all ships will choose a combination of high-explosive shells and armor-piercing shells, and I will destroy all the Qing army batteries! ”

"After the Qing army's coastal defense fort is completely destroyed tomorrow, the minesweeper detachment will begin to focus on clearing the minefields around Monk Island and Xiaotuozi Bay the day after tomorrow; On the 14th, the Imperial Fleet was able to bombard Jinzhou City directly from Dalian Bay, completely blowing Jinzhou City into ruins. ”

The chief of staff of the Combined Fleet, Sameshima Rengui, said with a smile: "The armies, Jinzhou, and Dalian Bay are already destined to be trampled under the feet of the imperial soldiers in two days; Below, it's Lushun! ”

East of Jinzhou City, Wenjiajiao, Headquarters of the First Division of the Japanese Army.

In the direction of Dalian Bay, a whole day of fierce artillery bombardment made the generals of the 1st Division look at each other.

With such a huge fleet of the Imperial Navy, how could it not have broken the defenses of the Qing army?

Yamachi Motoji sent people to the beach to look for fishing boats, and wanted to send troops to inquire about the situation, but on the white seaside, not even the shadow of a fishing boat could be found.

"Baga, this stupid pig in Suwon, let him take the boat to Dalian Bay, why did he disappear?"

Yamachi Genji couldn't figure out the battle situation in Dalian Bay, so he couldn't help but scold Mizuhara Yoshishige loudly that had already fed the fish.

"According to the information from the military department, the day after tomorrow, that is, on the 14th, the military headquarters and the artillery wing, the 12th brigade will arrive; No matter what the situation of the battle in Dalian Bay is, we can launch a general attack. ”

Oji Yasumi shook his head and sighed: "This heavy snow has delayed the precious time of the Imperial Army for at least four days. ”
