Cixi suddenly lost interest in continuing to communicate with this 'own son', and even felt bored and annoyed when she looked at it!

"Let Lao Li talk to the Oriental side first——, premise is that the Oriental Ocean must not raise troops again, as long as you are willing to talk, you can always talk about one, two, three, four, something that everyone can accept; Then call Lushun, Shanhaiguan, and the sailors, so that they can all keep to themselves, and not easily fight and provoke trouble. ”

Cixi said coldly: "The palace is tired, the emperor, go back to peace." ”

Guangxu's eyes were full of unwillingness, but in the face of Cixi's years of accumulation, he didn't dare to say anything anymore and left abruptly.

"Alright, don't pretend to be asleep; Lao Li talks to foreign devils, you also follow ,—— emperor can choke Lao Li enough this time, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no resentment. ”

"Ahh

Yixun smiled helplessly and opened his eyes.

"This palace knows that you have a good relationship with Li Hongzhang; Don't sigh for him, he's in his seventies, and he hasn't given the right to retire, don't think that this palace doesn't know what the hell he is fighting; But the emperor——, he still doesn't understand! ”

Cixi couldn't help but sigh, and said angrily: "The emperor and the scholars rule the world together, why can't he understand this sentence?" The emperor's family always has to raise a group of obedient vicious dogs to come to the gate to suppress the untouchables in the world, and now he has killed this old dog and the puppies below him, so he doesn't have to work hard to find another group of dogs? A sensible and shrewd dog like Lao Li is so easy to find? If you lose your eyes and find a bunch of hungry wolves that can't be fed—"

Cixi didn't say any more, and at the moment when the old eyes were closed, Yixin was shocked to see that there was a cold glow like a sharp sword inside.

On the afternoon of the sixth day of the first lunar month, after nearly six days of marching, the 1,000 new troops trained by Hannagan finally arrived at Shanhaiguan.

When he came to the three cities outside the Guanwai, he left in a hurry after the 'Dingwu Army' led the team and Li Jingfang completed the handover.

For this 'dead land', no Qing army was willing to stay here for even a stick of incense.

In case the Japanese soldiers go crazy and fight again, won't they be unlucky enough to be dragged into this 'dead place'!

He Changying, Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, Nie Qingyun, and the four chief soldiers who rushed over after hearing the news, looked at the thousand unarmed recruits, all of whom were frightened.

They all scolded one after another, counting Hannagan and Hu Liao, who were too stingy and unrighteous.

At this time, the First Army of the Japanese Army in the north was quietly transferring five infantry brigades, a cavalry brigade, a small-caliber artillery squadron, and an engineer squadron, with nearly 6,000 troops, to fight on the Great Wall at the Nine Gates.

Nagaoka's proposal allowed Yamaguchi to completely overturn his previous battle order and redeploy.

Form a Great Wall Attack Detachment at the Nine Gates.

The detachment commander was Major General Naofumi Tachimi, the commander of the 10th Brigade, the deputy detachment commander was Awaiihara Tsuneshi Osa, the deputy detachment commander was Awaiihara Tsuneshi Osa, and the staff officer was Fukushima Yasumasa Nakasa.

Among them, the 12th Infantry Wing, the 5th Artillery Wing, the 2nd Brigade and 1 Squadron, and the 3rd Engineer Brigade, 2 Squadrons and 1 Squad, totaling more than 3,200 troops.

It will follow the frozen surface of the Jiujiang River, rush to the seventy-mile winding river, attack the Great Wall at the Nine Gates, and knock on the Guannei.

The 19th Infantry Wing and the 5th Cavalry Brigade, with a total of more than 2,300 troops, searched the mountains on both sides of the Jiujiang River one by one, looking for the independent battalion of the anti-Japanese army of Luo Minglei's department and annihilating them.

At the same time as the rear position of the Japanese army was disturbed, the scouts of the independent battalion discovered these anomalies and quickly ran along the river to report to the camp of the independent battalion on the south bank of the Jiujiang River.

"The Japanese army suddenly divided its troops and marched north, it couldn't be that we kindly helped them connect the telegraph line last night, and there are friends in Shan County who want to thank us, right? Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental. ”

Luo Minglei smiled at the corners of his mouth, and said fearlessly: "Then let's accompany them and play hide and seek." ”

"If it's really hide and seek, we are not afraid of this endless mountain, but we are afraid that the Japanese army is 'Ming Xiu Plank Road Dark Chen Cang'."

Shi Weicheng, the deputy commander of the first company, lowered his head and frowned in contemplation, and suddenly said faintly: "For example, attack the Great Wall of the Nine Gates and break the Shanhaiguan defense line from the flank." ”

Shi Weicheng's words made the officers of the independent battalion on the hillside stunned, and then they all changed their faces in shock.

I'm afraid of this!

However, the anti-Japanese army had no solution.

"It is very possible, and these two things can actually be done as a strategic goal and in unison; Looking at the number of troops they used, if they exceeded 3,000, they would not be far from ten. ”

Deputy battalion commander Huang Bojie stood up and looked at the blue sky in the east: "This place can't stay, it needs to be transferred to the north immediately." ”

"If you don't fight, I'm really unwilling in my heart;"

Luo Minglei's face was depressed: "On the side of the North Wing City, we have been fighting inside and out for a month, we are hiding in this mountain nest, and we only killed five Japanese soldiers, and it was specially given to us by a friend in Shan County!" ”

"I want to fight too—;"

Huang Bojie said: "The demolition team can enter the lurking; Although the ——, over there in Jiulian City is useless, let's remind it, even if you escape, you should pack up in advance, and don't let the Japanese capture too much. ”

"That's right, the usefulness of our blade is still to come, and now the reckless fight is a big loss because of a small one."

Shi Weicheng stood up and gently kicked Li Yuanyang's buttocks: "Company commander, you ran away from work." ”

"Damn!"

Li Yuanyang, who is in his early twenties, has no temper with his subordinates, an old show of thirty-eight or nine.

"Lao Shi, let me report to the commander-in-chief, our independent battalion is now missing a staff officer, I think you are suitable."

Luo Minglei looked at Shi Weiyuan and proposed.

"Excuse me, it's too civil, it's not cool! Besides, after the Japanese army occupied the nine gates, they completely cut off the way into the customs, except for passively accepting fireworks instructions, how do you communicate? But at the end of the day, I still don't want to! ”

Shi Weiyuan said with a smile: "When I was young, the rich landlord family caused a big disaster before marriage, and was impoverished and in debt, so I had to pay off the debts of the landlord as a tenant; The wife did not dislike the vow to marry to death, but as a result, the main force of the first night right that night, haha-"

Shi Weiyuan staggered down the hill: "I'm not a showman, fake; It's just to be a soldier and kill people! Hehe, men should kill people, kill mercilessly. Immortal karma is all in killing. Good poetry, good poetry, when a big white! ”

Shi Weiyuan recited a verse from "The Scream", walked down the hill, his staggering steps became more and more steady, and when he walked down the hill, his body had become straight and his steps were hard.

"It was reported that the vanguard of the Japanese army had entered the Jiujiang River, carrying five 37mm caliber guns; The total number of troops mobilized is no less than 3,000. ”

Wu Junma and the three scouts ran up the hill panting: "The soldiers of the reconnaissance company have all withdrawn. ”

Since the Japanese army has used artillery, this matter is already obvious.

"You arrange for the two of them to go to the Nine Gates to call the police, and then the soldiers don't have to come back, go to the North Wing City to report to the commander-in-chief; The demolition team, Ning Fushan, went to carry out the blasting; ”

Luo Minglei roared and ordered: "Immediately act urgently to go to the reed bushes of the Qiupi Reservoir in the north!" ”

In the afternoon, at five o'clock, the sun was setting.

Limi Shangwen led a group of officers and staff officers to board the cannon on the side of the Jiujiang River.

"Report to the commander, according to the estimate of the unburned bonfire, this Qing army left for about an hour and a half; On the unmelted snow on the opposite ridge, a large number of footprints were found moving in the northwest direction, but the footprints were not deep in the frozen snow, so they should have marched lightly; ”

A lieutenant and technical staff officer of the Japanese army staff reported to Naofumi Tatsumi about the situation of the anti-Japanese army camp: "According to the amount of feces in the four nearby dung pits, as well as the degree of newness and oldness, it is estimated that the Qing army is about 600 to 800 people. ”
