Dalian Bay. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhao Huaiye led the 'reinforcements' of the 3rd battalion and 4 sentry posts of the old dragon's head on Monk Island, and returned to Dalian Bay without firing a single shot, and it was already 10 o'clock in the morning.

The direction of Jinzhou was still rumbling with artillery fire, and the sound shook Zhao Huaiye.

He hurriedly ordered his personal soldiers to escort his wife, children, aunts and wives at home, and take refuge in Lushun first.

At 10:15, the artillery fire in the direction of Jinzhou suddenly stopped, and all the battalions and outposts of the Huaizi Army in Dalian Bay were panicked.

- Could it be that the city of Jinzhou is broken?

In the panic of the various units of the Huaizi Army, an hour later, starting at 11:20, the city of Jinzhou gradually burst into flames, and thick smoke covered the sky.

Golden State City is broken!

In Dalian Bay, all the departments of the Huaizi Army were in an uproar, panicking like a lost dog.

At 11:30 a.m., the fleeing Jiesheng Battalion, the Gong Guards, came down to Dalian Bay under the leadership of Xu Bangdao, Lian Shun, and Zhou Dingchen.

Because of the resentment in his heart that Zhao Huaiye did not help, the rout army did not stop for a moment when he crossed Dalian Bay, and went straight to Lushun.

Seeing the Jiesheng Battalion, the Gong Guards left the dangerous place, and the sentry posts of the Huaizi Army were all envious.

When he saw that Zhou Dingchen actually retreated towards Lushun, the two battalions of Sujiatun Huaizi Army stationed in front of Nanguanling immediately camped, followed by Zhou Dingchen's department, and fled in the direction of Lushun.

Zhao Huaiye, who got the news, was so angry that he ordered the two battalions of the Monk Island Fort to directly abandon the three coastal batteries on the Monk Island and immediately retreat to the Laolongdao Peninsula on the south side of the Nanguan Mountains in Dalian Bay.

In this way, in the old dragon head fort of Laolong Island and the coastal fort of Huangshan, there were 4 battalions and 4 outposts and more than 2,000 Huaizi troops.

The remaining 2 outpost soldiers were stationed at the Xujiashan land battery near Sujiatun.

At about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the direction of Jinzhou suddenly burst into artillery, Zhao Huaiye couldn't help but be surprised and happy, wondering if it was the reinforcement army and the Renzi army coming.

The shelling in the direction of Jinzhou continued until 1:30 p.m., and even Zhao Huaiye was ready to send troops to Jinzhou City.

In case this aid army really recaptures Jinzhou City against the sky, Ming'er will be Lafayette's 60th birthday, if he participates in it, what a face, what a great credit!

However, Zhao Huaiye was thinking about the beauty when the shelling in the direction of Jinzhou suddenly stopped.

On Monk Island, which was opposite to the old dragon's head, the first batch of soldiers from the Gongwei Army Artillery Battalion, who had not received any assistance from the Huaizi Army, also landed on Monk Island from Xiaotuozi Bay.

"These greedy and death-scared crumbs!"

Listening to the sudden cessation of the cannon in Jinzhou, Tao Jianxing looked at the empty Monk Island Fort, scolded angrily, and ordered: "Xiao Ligang, your post immediately deployed the East Fort, maybe the military gate is still fighting against the Japanese near Jinzhou; Twist the muzzle of the gun due north, facing Peninsula Boulevard. ”

"Oh, brothers, come with me!"

Xiao Ligang, the commander of the left sentry post of the first batch of artillery battalions to land on the island, shouted and ordered his subordinates to take over the forts abandoned by the Huaizi Army.

At this time, from the avenue of the peninsula, a group of soldiers from the Korean reinforcement army drove a carriage towards Monk Island.

Shen Zhaoao looked at the giant cannon on the Monk Island Fort, his face was heavy, his task was to command the sappers to blow up all the coastal forts after Zhao Huaiye's troops fled.

Otherwise, when the Japanese army occupies the fort, as long as the muzzle of the gun is slightly turned, such a large-caliber giant cannon will be a nightmare for Nanguanling.

In the absence of sea control, if troops are set up to defend Monk Island, they will face the pressure of the Japanese army by land and water in the future, which is doomed to the end of the total annihilation.

"What is Lord Shen here for, isn't it possible to use this cart to transport away the giant cannon and pull away the scrap iron? Haha-"

For the Huaizi Army, the reinforcement army did not move and did not rescue, and the Gong Guards were all disgusted.

Tao Jianxing saw Shen Zhaoao, who had only one side, leading his troops over, and couldn't help but say sarcastic.

"Time is urgent, we need to blow up the cannon."

Shen Zhaoao understood Tao Jianxing's anger, so he directly explained the intention: "The cart will carry away some light parts that can be transported, and the rest will be blown up." ”

"I see who dares to blow up the cannon!"

When Tao Jianxing heard this, his face turned blood-red: "You know how much silver some Western giant cannons cost the imperial court, you say you will blow them up, and we are still waiting to use them to fight the Japanese soldiers!" ”

"I see whoever dares to blow up, whoever bombs Lao Tzu will fight with him!"

Suddenly, all the arch guard artillerymen who landed on the island were furious.

At 2:30 p.m., after more than half an hour of detouring, the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army arrived at Jijiatun at the junction of Jinzhou and Dalian Bay.

Seeing that this place was far away from the range of the Qing army, the Japanese cavalry released a guard post in all directions and began to pause and rest.

"Kono-kun, what should the brigade do next, is it to go around Bohai Bay to Fuzhou Avenue, and then return to the division headquarters?"

Captain Fujikiyoshi, the squadron leader of the 3rd Cavalry Squadron, also admired Kono Masajiro very much at this time, and sat beside Kono and asked.

"If we don't go to Fuzhou Avenue, can we imagine that those Qing pigs can't think of it? If it is surrounded, it will be annihilated! ”

Kono Masajiro scolded with blood-red eyes: "These clear pigs are really very cunning! ”

"So, where are the troops going?"

Captain Tada, the leader of the second cavalry squadron, frowned and asked.

"Go to Dalian! The Qing army in Jinzhou City before was completely vulnerable to combat power; ”

Masajiro Kono said with a fierce face: "The commander has already said that in the next two days, the combined fleet will attack Dalian Bay; In this case, you and I are fighting for jade pieces, and we will also stir Dalian Bay to the bottom! ”

At 4 p.m., Japanese cavalry appeared in Dalian Bay.

When the Japanese cavalry tried to enter Monk Island, Tao Jianxing commanded a huge cannon to fire in unison, which blew up the mountain road on the peninsula and cracked the landslide, and a large area of landslides completely blocked the road.

Several Japanese cavalry troops did not have time to defend themselves, and were directly bombarded by the projectiles of the giant cannons.

The Japanese cavalry then retreated.

"The Uyi escaped, the Uyi escaped!"

The artillerymen of Tao Jianxing's battalion roared one after another, venting their anger and joy in their hearts.

Seeing the artillery battle on the opposite Monk Island, Zhao Huaiye's face turned pale with fright, and he immediately led his battalion to abandon Laolong Island and withdraw towards Nanguanling.

Immediately, the 2 Outpost Huaizi Army guarding Xujiashan also began to retreat westward, but when they retreated, they all fulfilled their promise to the Korean reinforcement army and blew up the artillery that the Korean reinforcement army could not transport to Nanguanling.

After Zhao Huaiye retreated to Nanguanling, he immediately rushed in the direction of Lushunkou and fled overnight.

Before fleeing, Zhao Huaiye left a heart, and sent three telegrams to Lushunkou, Zhili Governor Yamen, and Tongzhou to supervise the military affairs office.

Speaking of Lian Shun, Xu Bangdao lost Jinzhou, and now tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers are pressing Dalian Bay, and their two battalions of infantry are privately arranged, and they follow Lian Shun to flee to Lushun, and now they only have more than 2,000 troops in their hands.

In order to respond to Zhongtang's order of 'Rather lose the bay, never lose the brigade', he temporarily saved his strength and retreated to Lushun to fight again.

Zhao Huaiye fled all the way to Lushun between the mountains.

What he never expected, and what he didn't notice, was that his nephew Zhao Liuhong's two battalions of soldiers who retreated from Monk Island to Laolong Island did not leave.

Instead, they quietly guarded the two forts on the coast of Laolongtou and Huangshan.
