November 17, Dalian Bay. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He Changying, Lin Yunyu, Wu Weiyang, Shen Zhaoao, Mao Chao, Xu Bangdao,——

The group stood on a mountain peak at the mouth of the Nanguanling Ridge and watched the enemy situation on the opposite side from a distance.

At this time, it was almost noon, although the temperature in southern Liaoning was still very low at night, but it was able to climb above zero during the day, and it was not very cold.

The sun has gradually melted the snow in the mountains, and the large forests have revealed their original colors, mottled with the snow in the mountains.

After the bombardment of Jinzhou City, although the anti-Japanese army did not know whether it succeeded in 'trapping' the Japanese army.

However, seeing that the Japanese army was still in an orderly formation, instead of rushing over with red eyes and annoyance, everyone regretted in their hearts that even if it was a 'pit', it seemed that the 'pit' was limited.

"This time, the Japanese army learned smartly, from the Laolongdao Fort, to the mouth of the Quanshui River, to Sujiatun, the large and small barren mountains, the chessboard village, and from Dalian Bay to Bohai Bay, the whole arc of more than 20 miles was completely blocked by them."

Shen Zhaoao looked at the Japanese camp dotted in the distance, his eyes full of worry.

On the other side are 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers who have undergone years of rigorous training.

Both the anti-Japanese army and the Japanese army invested 30,000 or 40,000 troops to fight in such a narrow battlefield, which doomed the previous reinforcements to become completely ineffective and turned into a hard battle.

The battle below is hard to fight!

"In such a narrow area, if you want to play strange soldiers and engage in sneak attacks, there is basically no play, you can only fight gun-to-gun; But—"

Wu Weiyang said with a smile: "Fortunately, we defended it, and the Japanese army attacked." ”

"Map."

He Changying motioned to his adjutant Huang Bojie to open the military map he carried with him and spread it on the snow.

A group of officers of the anti-Japanese army and Xu Bangdao surrounded them.

"From Nanguanling to Tuchengzi, only Nanguanling, this more than ten miles of post road is sandwiched between the dangerous mountains on both sides, after passing the Xin Zhaizi, although the mountains are still undulating, but the mountains are low and gentle, and there are not too many advantages in blocking it."

He Changying held a stick, pointed to the map and said, "Although the Japanese cavalry and artillery can't go around, they still have to watch out for their infantry. ”

Lin Yunyu nodded and said: "The guard posts that have been set up on all the hills, there have been a total of seventeen shootouts in the past two days, all of which were Japanese scouts trying to infiltrate the rear and were detected and blocked by the guard posts. ”

"Since the Japanese fleet has withdrawn, and the Japanese army has no telegraph and domestic contact in southern Liaoning, the Japanese ships should not take the initiative to come over to participate in the second phase of the battle in Dalian Bay, because the primary target of the Japanese combined fleet is still the Beiyang Naval Division that escaped to Weihaiwei; Therefore, this Nanguanling blocking battle is worth fighting seriously. ”

He Changying said in a deep voice: "If the Japanese army can't achieve a rapid breakthrough in Nanguanling, it will definitely choose to attack from the flank, and only the vigilant soldiers can't do it at all; Commander Mao—"

"Here!"

As soon as Mao Chao heard that he had come to live, his face became a flower.

"North of Nanguanling to the top of the first line of Bohai Bay, it will be defended by your four battalions."

"Yes! Commander-in-chief, make sure that not a single mouse can slip through. ”

Mao Chao first blew a sentence with confidence, and then said with a bitter face: "It's that our regiment has lost too much, can the recruits of the fifth phase give us a little tilt." ”

He Changying nodded slightly.

This time, the number of new troops from the fifth phase of the Dagu military station is very considerable, with a total of 1,435 people, but He Changying only asked to send 1,000 people over, and the rest will follow a few officers from the Aobo Empire to the Shanhaiguan area to learn mountain field skills.

In this battle of Dalian Bay, it can be said that there were heavy casualties, with a total of 426 killed and 114 seriously wounded.

Among them, the Huang Jianxing artillery battalion of the Gong Guard Army suffered the greatest losses because it was bombarded by Japanese artillery fire on the first day.

More than 400 people were evacuated from Golden State, and now only more than 170 remain, 225 killed and 38 seriously wounded.

The attrition is close to 60%.

The rest of the infantry battalion of the Gong Guards lost 46 killed and 11 seriously wounded.

Lin Yunyu's Xiao Ligang battalion lost 89 killed and 31 seriously wounded.

Jiang Zikang's Jiang Mochen and Pan Jinshan's two battalions lost 23 people and seriously wounded 6 people.

The fourth battalion of Mao Chao's division suffered 71 killed and 28 seriously wounded.

Li Bohu's regiment, which was in charge of supervising the army, lost 4 people in battle.

Of the 1,000 new troops, He Changying was ready to spend 600 troops to supplement the losses of the various units of the anti-Japanese army, and 200 people were incorporated into the newly established Lushun Mountain Military Treasury Guard Battalion.

There were still 200 people left, and he hadn't figured out how to arrange it for a while.

Shen Zhaoao once proposed He Changying in a ghostly manner and gave it to Xu Bangdao, or Jiang Mochen and Pan Jinshan.

However, He Changying categorically refused.

At the Dagu Military Station helmed by Chen Shijie, the criteria for selecting soldiers were either hot-blooded young people or honest and sturdy peasants.

From the first day they entered the new barracks, these recruits were quickly brainwashed by Chen Shijie with military songs, "The Scream", "Military Discipline", as well as a series of proud achievements of the Anti-Japanese Army, and various preferential treatments.

Sending these recruits to Xu Bangdao and them will easily cause Xu Bangdao and Pan Jinshan to be alert and misunderstood, suspecting that He Changying wants to annex them.

Moreover, the treatment of the Renzi Army and the Gong Guards, although He Changying now provides the same food, but the military salary, as well as the rewards for the merits of the war, the compensation for the dead and wounded, and the promise for the future, will be thrown a few streets by the anti-Japanese army.

These recruits came for the anti-Japanese army, and He Changying had no reason to give them a feeling of being swept away.

There is a more important reason that He Changying is deeply buried in his heart.

In the next period of time, the anti-Japanese army will clean up the Lushun armies one by one.

If he is now involved in the remaining two battalions of Xu Bangdao and Jiang Zikang, once he becomes an army, then in Lushun Military Port, he He Changying will have 30,000 heavy troops.

According to the stinky virtues of the Qing Dynasty, Guangxu at that time, including the old witch, if he could sleep, it would be amazing.

All kinds of shameless tricks are estimated to take turns.

He needed Xu Bangdao's Gongwei Army and Jiang Zikang's Renzi Army to separate themselves from the Anti-Japanese Military Region in southern Liaoning and form their own systems to weaken the Forbidden City's vigilance.

He Changying was a little distracted for a while, bowed his head and did not speak, and all the generals gathered around the map and were silent.

Seeing He Changying bowing his head and groaning, Xu Bangdao next to him would be mistaken.

In Xu Bangdao's view, although He Changying now directly controls a huge army of 11,200 people, he is still obviously insufficient in the face of the complex terrain of the southern Liaoning defense line and the tens of thousands of heavy troops of the Japanese people.

Lin Yunyu's more than 4,000 troops defended Nanguanling, which was more than three miles wide, and in the face of the 20,000 or 30,000 troops of the Japanese Yi, it was already very difficult to divide the troops.

Mao Chao's four battalions defended the mountain range north of Nanguanling.

Li Bohu's troops must be stationed in Lushun, so as to ensure He Changying's right to speak, as well as the safety of the eye-catching food, silver, and various materials in the arsenal.

I heard that a few days ago, Lian Shun had a dirty feud with He Changying, begging for the 300 soldiers who ran to the Dalian Bay Fort.

Fortunately, Jiang Zikang, who was nearby, heard the movement and rushed over, and said the belonging of the warrior camp, it was the emperor who issued an edict, and Lian Shuncai left with hatred.

Now the emperor hurriedly ordered to take away Li Hongzhang's crown, bring him back to Feixi, and ordered Gong Zhaoxi to be arrested and returned to Beijing for trial.

Li Bingheng, the governor of Ludong, was in charge of the war in southern Liaoning.

This holy decree, in Xu Bangdao's view, is simply 'chaotic life'.

First of all, it can be seen at a glance by discerning people that the Japanese fleet will definitely focus on attacking the Ludong Peninsula in the next period.

forced the Beiyang Naval Division to go to sea to meet the battle.
