In the dark, Luo Minglei, Huang Bojie and Reinhard, as well as eight trainee staff officers trained by Reinhard, stood in the forest of the mountain, looking at the bonfires below.

"Report, the troops have all been surrounded."

You Dajiang, the battalion intern staff officer in charge of the battle, trotted over in the dark woods and bruised his nose and swollen face all the way to report.

You Dajiang is a South Vietnamese Chinese, and his family is doing foreign trade business with French local products.

Since the Sino-French War ten years ago, the Qing forces completely withdrew from Vietnam, although because the family did business with French merchants, business at that time was quite good.

However, in the past ten years, France has been vigorously cultivating local forces, and the business of the You family has plummeted, and they are often blackmailed and harassed by the local government.

It is not because the family has bought a lot of real estate and land in South Vietnam, and the family has been rooted in South Vietnam for sixty or seventy years, the older generation has passed away and is buried in South Vietnam, and the new generation has relocated to the land.

The You family has long gone to Surabaya, Singapore, these slightly more enlightened places.

This time, the anti-Japanese army recruited troops in Nanyang.

The 60-year-old old lady of the You family, the head of the You family, donated 100,000 taels of silver regardless of the various noises in the family, and brought seven children of the family into the anti-Japanese army.

He Changying's book, his undefeated record, Zhang Bishi's huge prestige in Nanyang, and Wu Weiyang's second position in the anti-Japanese army.

and He Changying's various prospects and promises for the future that he secretly conveyed through Zhang Bishi.

So that the huge rich Chinese in Nanyang are willing to make a big gamble.

If you lose, you won't break your muscles and bones, and it should be a great reward for the land of your ancestors.

Won, the industrial colonization of cannons and carrots in He Changying's mouth, a world dominated by the Chinese in the Nanyang Alliance, they can't help but be unmoved.

After listening to You Dajiang's report, Luo Minglei issued a combat order without thinking: "Attack immediately, ensure total annihilation, and leave no one alive." ”

Since there are already five mountain bandits in hand, this is enough; The food of the independent battalion is limited, and there is no need to feed too much burden.

Moreover, too many mountain bandit prisoners were obviously a very unstable factor for the independent battalion.

"Bang-"

"Officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers are coming, officers and soldiers are coming!"

Suddenly, there were shouts and gunfire in the valley.

Ludonglai Prefecture, Qingdao.

Three years ago, Jiaozhou Bay was just a small fishing port, and in 1891, the Qing government fortified Jiaoao, and Qingdao was built from there.

Originally, Zhang Gaoyuan's two battalions of Fuzi Army were stationed, but after Zhang Gaoyuan moved to the entrance of the barracks, there was only a sentry horse team stationed here, and fishing was closed in winter, and few people came to the whole port.

However, in the past two days, a lot of people have come to the port to load bags of grain, cotton clothes, quilts and some medicinal herbs onto the cargo ship.

In the setting sun, the French cargo ship "Nilske" is in the booster boiler, ready to set sail.

Lawrence, the captain of the cargo ship, happily lived in an empty barracks after receiving a bribe of 500 taels of silver from Chen Xiangbei, the leader of the second operation group of the Anti-Japanese Army's Intelligence Division.

Eating the chef invited by the anti-Japanese army from Gaomi County, drinking spicy wine, and playing with the kiln sister who came from the Gaomi kiln, it has not been a day before this group of French drunkards is happy.

In Lawrence's view, whether the cargo ship sank or not had no effect on him.

It's not sinking, he drinks comfortably and plays with women in Qingdao, and he has a lot of extra money for money, so why not.

If it sinks, then the ship will have to be compensated by the Qing Dynasty,—— which is also a good thing, the Qing Dynasty has always been generous, and it is more than enough to buy two 'Nilske' with the silver that may be paid.

"Whew-"

The Nilske sounded its whistle and slowly sailed out of Jiaozhou Bay and headed towards the Yellow Sea.

Chen Xiangbei and more than a dozen members of the action group stood on the side of the ship, watching the cargo ship gradually sail away from the coast, and the heart that had been hanging these days was much lighter.

Before this, what he was most afraid of was that these crew members of China Merchants would slip away, so Chen Xiangbei couldn't think of any better way except to force these foreigners to drive the boat with a gun.

Now that the cargo ship has finally set sail smoothly and headed straight for Andong County at the mouth of the Yalu River, in fact, the task of their group of operations is equivalent to the successful completion of the task.

As for whether it will be stable along the way, it is no longer something they can control.

"One-two-one, three-six, all the fish will soon go back to one-one-seven, three-nine."

Such a strange telegram, after being forwarded to the Hiroshima base camp, was quickly translated by the Japanese staff officer of the China Division.

112 degrees east longitude, 36 degrees north latitude, is the Beiyang military port Weihaiwei.

117 degrees east longitude, 39 degrees north latitude, is the Tianjin Gate Dagu dock.

All the fish will soon be traced, and the meaning of this is already obvious.

"Weihaiwei's Beiyang Naval Division wants to escape?"

There was a surprise in the Hiroshima base camp, Meiji, Ito, Saigo, Okuru, Kayama, Kawakami -

A group of civil and military generals were full of excitement when they got this information.

During this time, the entire Hiroshima base camp was immersed in an atmosphere of anxiety and urgency.

Now the domestic economy can be said to have collapsed, and in this cold winter, it is not known that there will be dozens, millions of Oriental people, who will freeze to death and starve to death.

All kinds of war borrowings are pressed like mountains on the Oriental archipelago.

If we can't win a big victory in this battle against the Qing Dynasty, and without the huge war reparations of the Qing Dynasty, it is estimated that those vampires in Western countries will be able to squeeze the last kitchen knife and the last copper plate of the empire dry.

However, now the Second Army, with a strength of 23,000 troops, is firmly welded in Dalian Bay, and looks at the Lushun fortress that is close at hand.

——Dashan Rock kept climbing high again and again, anxiously thinking about the lack of food in Lushun, why has it been a month and a half, why hasn't there been any movement?

In order to force the turtles in Weihaiwei to show their heads, the combined fleet has blocked the Bohai Sea for more than 20 days. But the sailors of the Great Qing Dynasty did not come out alive or dead.

And now, except for the merchant ships of foreigners, a ship of the Qing Dynasty no longer appears in Bohai Sea.

It became more than 20 warships of the Combined Fleet, and it was a foolish comparison of the whole day, and there was no profit of a silver or two.

In the original plan of the Hiroshima base camp, the Second Army first captured Lushun, and then a section went north to reinforce the First Army to maintain the absolute strength advantage of the First Army in Liaodong.

The other is to form the Ludong Attack Army with domestic divisions, attack from the land and sea, and eliminate the Beiyang Naval Division.

Because Lushun could not be attacked for a long time, before the threat of Weihaiwei's Beiyang Naval Division was removed, it was impossible for the Combined Fleet to use the high-explosive bombs made of precious Shimose gunpowder in the Lushun fortress.

Therefore, the Hiroshima base camp used the blockade of the Bohai Sea to force the Oshimizu Division to go out of the port to face the battle.

As long as the Beiyang Naval Division is annihilated, or further heavily damaged, the Combined Fleet can carry out a land and sea flank attack on Lushun with Dashanyan's Second Army.

After Lushun is laid, things will return to the original design of the base camp and carry out the Ludong landing.

Then, the problem of Meiji and Ito's sleepless nights will also be solved immediately.

- The Hiroshima base camp would strictly order the First Army to stop in front of Shanhaiguan and wait for the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, without risking the battle in Zhili; Thus pushing the war into an unpredictable and dangerous situation.

"Immediately telegraph to the Second Army of Dalian Bay, ordering a quick contact with Ito Henyo ,——"

"Bang!"

Ito Hirobumi's fist slammed into the coffee table in front of him, and he yelled, "You must annihilate them!" ”
