Chapter 414: No need to pitch a tent from now on
He Changying was slightly stunned, but the cold weather had made his brain a little sluggish, and he forgot a lot of important things for a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Like, range!
Webley revolver with a capacity of 6 rounds, an initial velocity of 160 meters per second, a maximum range of 270 meters, and an effective range of 50 meters.
The Lebell rifle has a capacity of 5 rounds, an initial velocity of 762 meters per second, a maximum range of 2400 meters, and an effective range of 800 meters.
And the Donggang Wharf where He Changying is standing is only more than 700 meters away from the Dingyuan ship that has just entered the Tiger Tail Waterway.
As a result, more than 100 projectiles, with a 'Xiuxiu' scream, like a swarm of bees in the dark night, rushed towards the Dingyuan ship at high speed.
Dingyuan ship, aft deck.
Ding Ruchang, Liu Buchan, Hannagan, Li Jingfang——
A large group of people stood quietly on the back deck, silently looking at Port Arthur as they drifted away, and their hearts fluctuated.
At this time, suddenly at the Donggang wharf, there were several crisp gunshots.
Ding Ruchang's anxiety and worry, which had been holding back in his heart since the fleet anchored, suddenly completely dissipated, and his heart was full of joy like a fish leaping into the sea.
When he heard six gunshots rang out in a row from the Xigang side, he couldn't help laughing happily, and ordered with a straight face: "Haha, I don't know which general came to see us off; Sons, let off an empty cannon and tell this general and all the people and folks in Lushun that our Beiyang Naval Division will definitely come back! ”
At this time, there was a sudden burst of gunfire on the side of Westport, and there was a chaotic gunfire.
Li Jingfang stood beside Ding Ruchang with a gloomy face, and his heart was full of remorse.
I regret that I shouldn't have come to Lushun before, and I also regret that I shouldn't have been persuaded by Ding Ruchang, Cheng Guande, and Hong Jiading to get on the boat in a daze.
As a result, he has become a joke now.
Hearing the gunshots in Xigang, Li Jingfang intuitively thought that He Changying must be coming, and his spirit couldn't help but be lifted.
Li Jingfang was not a person who was tough and decisive, and his ears were relatively soft, so he was coaxed and frightened by Ding Ruchang and them to get on the Dingyuan ship.
At this time, when he thought of He Changying coming, Li Jingfang suddenly felt like he had a backbone.
Listening to Ding Ruchang's nonsense that could make people laugh off their big teeth, Li Jingfang smiled coldly in his heart and decided to let Ding Ruchang drive the Dingyuan ship back to Xigang and listen to He Changying's suggestion.
As long as what He Changying said is reasonable, not to mention him Li Jingfang, even the entire sailor can stay to help defend Lushun.
This battle of Lushun may be an opportunity for Li Jingfang to become famous all over the world!
"Bang, bang, bang—"
At this time, there was a sudden burst of gunfire in the direction of Xigang, dozens of rifles shot out of flames, and then on the iron plate of the hull of the Dingyuan ship, six or seven sparks splashed 'clanging'.
"Ahh
Suddenly, Ding Ruchang screamed, and his right hand tightly covered his left arm.
"It's a rebel, hurry up and hide in the cabin!"
Liu Buyun saw that Ding Ruchang was wounded by a gunshot, and hurriedly grabbed Li Jingfang and pulled him into the cabin.
And the rest of the sailor generals didn't dare to test the edge of the spear, and they all dodged towards the back gun.
When Li Jingfang heard the word 'chaotic soldiers', his face turned pale with fright, and the courage of his thoughts just now suddenly dissipated, and he bent down and lowered his head and ran towards the cabin.
"Boom!"
At this time, the air cannon on the Dingyuan ship exploded violently, and then the Dingyuan ship lightly swept through the waterway between the Golden Mountain and the tiger's tail and flew away.
He Changying rode on the war horse, looked at the disappearing Beiyang Fleet with a calm gaze, and was silent for a long time.
Hearing the gunfire at the Donggang wharf, none of the troops in the many training troops in Lushun Military Port came to look for them, which shows how slack both soldiers and generals are.
"Order, the General Staff Department will gather a battalion of soldiers for the Logistics Department, set up Green guns, and specially guard the mountain military treasury;"
He Changying coldly gave an order to his adjutant Huang Bojie: "All the grain, horse feed, silver and other materials are also stored in the military treasury, and no one is allowed to enter the military treasury. ”
Huang Bojie felt a slight chill in his heart when he heard this, knowing that the commander-in-chief was really angry and wanted to directly control the arms and grain and grass in his hands.
In Andong County, Jinzhou City, and Dalian Bay, the anti-Japanese army packed up a total of about 700,000 catties of coarse and fine grains discarded by Lu Benyuan, Sun Xianyin, Lian Shun, and Zhao Huaiye.
When the anti-Japanese army transported 800 recruits in the fourth phase to southern Liaoning, as well as a large amount of military materials purchased from the West, they brought 300 tons of fine grain, totaling 600,000 catties, with the ship.
There is also a large amount of well salt, lard, pork, bacon, **, salted fish, vermicelli, dried vegetables, kimchi, radish, Chinese cabbage, eggs——。
A few days ago, when Tianjin Gate was transporting silver, 200,000 catties of coarse and fine grains were also unloaded on the ship.
Counting the amount of food used from Anton to the present, the anti-Japanese army still has nearly 1.3 million catties of grain in its hands.
If only the anti-Japanese army, Xu Bangdao, and Jiang Zikang are supplied, and these more than 16,000 people will be able to eat until the beginning of spring in March next year.
However, Huang Bojie was in the inner circle of the anti-Japanese army, and knew some basic information about the Lushun army obtained from the Second Intelligence Department.
Previously, Gong Zhaoxi did not strictly follow his duties and regulations to store enough grain in Port Arthur, but embezzled the silver of the imperial court privately, participated in the establishment of enterprises in Jinmen, and bought land everywhere to collect rent, and put money in prints.
Each time, when the grain was almost exhausted, the practice of eating the grain was adopted, and the next batch of silver was used to buy a little military rations.
A few days ago, the military rations in Lushunkou were almost exhausted, and Gong Zhaoyu fled to Yantai in the name of buying grain, and was arrested by Li Bingheng, the governor of Ludong.
Gong Zhaoyu cried and begged for mercy and fled back to Lushun in a hurry, but he hurriedly collected 200,000 catties of coarse grain.
These 200,000 catties of coarse grain, even if they are saved, can only be eaten by 12,000 Lushun troops for 40 days.
It won't be long before the coast of southern Liaoning is frozen, and the Japanese fleet will search everywhere, and it is estimated that not a single grain of grain will be transported in before the spring of next year.
At that time—
Huang Bojie's heart trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Ordered the engineer brigade to immediately burn down all the buildings and coal yards as soon as the Japanese ships entered Dalian Bay and bombarded Jinzhou City; Wait for the end of the shelling interval, detonate the military depot, and then all retreat to Nanguanling. ”
"Order Li Bohu to immediately withdraw from Jijiatun and enter Lushun City after the detonation of the Dalian Bay military depot."
He Changying finished giving these orders in one breath, and only then did he feel a little more comfortable in his heart, and he said controllably: "Ran all night, go, go to sleep." ”
"Commander-in-chief, where are we going to pitch our tents?"
Chen Xiaoliu looked at the wide and flat concrete pier in front of him, and couldn't help but suggest: "It's better to build it here, it's fast and smooth." ”
"No!"
He Changying smiled and said, "From today onwards, we don't have to set up tents anymore." ”
Chen Xiaoliu asked a little confused, "Where do you sleep?" ”
He Changying raised his arm, pointed to the splendid Admiral's Mansion not far away, and said, "Admiral's Mansion!" ”
