Chapter 430: Encountering a Big Problem
In the Yangshan position, the battle was still going on, and Zhou Ruihua, who had been in front of the bunker mouth, heard a soft sound in the distance weakening, and this kind of gunfire was a rifle equipped by Japan.
It's not good, you want to run, Zhou Ruihua frowned, put down the binoculars suddenly, and turned his head to look at the staff officer standing behind him: "Order, all regiments are pressed, and the enemy wants to run." ”
"Yes." The staff officer shouted loudly, turned and walked out.
Pyongyang, since giving the order to annihilate the Japanese troops on the front, Ding Ruchang has been staying at the command headquarters, waiting for the order from the front, he knows very well that he gave the order yesterday afternoon, and now it is noon the next day, if everything goes well, then now Zhou Ruihua has launched an attack, and the battle is almost over.
In the headquarters, Qin Liang, the commander of the North Korean Corps, kept walking back and forth in front of Ding Ruchang, he was angry in his heart, this battle was actually not for him.
He was originally a Guangdong soldier, but he was coaxed to Liaodong after going to Nanyang with Liu Jun that year, so he did not participate in the war against Japan that year, but this did not affect Teng Heng against the Japanese at all, every year, he would be on the outskirts of Pyongyang, that is, the place where Liu Jun led the army to attack the Japanese army to pay tribute to the Qing army who died in the Battle of Pyongyang.
"Don't shake it, it's making me dizzy." Ding Ruchang really couldn't stand Qin Liang circling around him like an ant.
Okay, it's okay if I don't go around, then yours let my troops go to the front line, thinking of this, Qin Liang took a step forward: "Commander"
"Stop." Ding Ruchang hurriedly waved his hand, after so many years together, he knew Qin Liang too well, this guy, once he was released, it would be the sorrow of the Japanese army, and it would also be his own sorrow, and I don't know if he was influenced by Liu Jun back then, in front of Qin Liang, there was Liu Jun's shadow, that is, for the enemy, there was no surrender, only death.
"I know, you want me to transfer you to Yangshan, don't even think about it, you still have a bigger task."
Hypocrisy, Qin Liang snorted coldly, what task can he have. It's not that I'm worried that the morale will be affected after the loss of the first battle, but after so many years, the Korean soldiers I trained myself are no worse than the Liaodong Army at all.
"Lao Ding, you are watching people inside the crack of the door, and you have seen all my North Korean soldiers." Qin Liang tilted his head, a year of dissatisfaction.
Qin Liang really misunderstood Ding Ruchang, the reason why Qin Liang's North Korean corps was not allowed to go out this time was because Qin Liang's troops were stationed near North Korea, and this was too far away from Pyongyang, if Qin Liang's troops were mobilized, there would be no secrets at all, and when the time came, when the North Korean corps passed, the daylily would be cold, and the Japanese army would definitely be ready.
Just as he was about to explain a few sentences, before Ding Ruchang could speak, he saw the staff in the telegraph room coming over, holding a telegram in his hand......
"Report to the commander, Zhou Ruihua is in an emergency."
After taking the telegram, Ding Ruchang glanced at it twice, and immediately nodded and looked at the intelligence soldier standing in front of him: "Send a telegram to the marshal." ”
Arthur Command. At this time, Liu Jun was sitting on the chair in a daze, holding his cheeks with both hands, and looking at a report in front of him lightly.
This report was sent by the Admiralty half an hour ago, and it told the story of Li He's leading the Beiyang Naval Division south to meet the northbound fleet and encounter the combined fleet.
Ran away, ran away without firing a shot, Liu Jun really couldn't figure it out, thinking that the Japanese Combined Fleet, which dared to play with his life, actually turned around and ran away in the face of his own fleet this time, why does this sound so unreal.
"It shouldn't be." In the silent headquarters, Liu Jun's self-talk came from the silent headquarters.
"Head, you're still struggling with this?" Zhong Lin, who was on the side, took the document from the side and looked at it, stretching out his neck.
Nodding slightly, Liu Jun said that he had no objection, after all, this Japanese army was too abnormal.
What is there to think, the warships dispatched by the Japanese army this time are not all the main forces, this is a person who can't beat it and can run, or even if the Japanese army can't afford to lose in the navy, if a warship is sunk, then it will be hundreds of thousands of taels at best, and millions or tens of millions of taels at worst.
Zhong Lin sometimes looks at problems and hates simplicity, but sometimes, this simplicity can make people quickly get on the right path.
"Head, what do you think, people are not as rich as us, our warship sinks, it's a big deal to spend some money to build, but Japan now uses hemp rope for the belt of the navy. That's no money, sink one, then one less, he Ito Yuhiro is not sure, he will definitely run. ”
'That's what you think?' After Zhong Lin finished speaking, Liu Jun raised his head.
Well, Zhong Lin nodded: "That's what I thought." If it were me, I would run. ”
Well, these words made Liu Jun completely relieved, put the documents aside, Liu Jun stood up and walked to the map, and slowly moved his gaze north to Pyongyang, Liu Jun stared at Pyongyang.
"Where is Ding Ruchang, is there any news?"
"Yes. Two days earlier, they had sent a telegram saying that a Japanese wing had advanced less than two kilometers to the forward position, and they had decided to pull out this wing to prepare for future battles. ”
Eun, nodded. Liu Jun turned around and raised his eyes to look at the weather outside, the weather in Lushun is good today, at least the sun has a certain temperature.
"Go buy something on the street, and we'll go to the old man's place in a moment."
Zhong Lin knew that Liu Jun would not go to Li Hongzhang for no reason, but he didn't ask anything, but turned around and walked out.
Looking at Zhong Lin's distant back, Liu Jun sighed.
Although war has been declared with the Japanese army, he knows very well that there is Britain behind Japan, and he sometimes really does not counsel how to completely solve this trouble in this war, although he can attack desperately, but to a certain extent. Then Britain will inevitably jump out and intervene. That's not a good thing for me.
On the outskirts of Arthur City. Li Hongzhang's apartment, every day when the weather is good, Li Hongzhang will ask people to bring chairs, and then sit on the balcony, watching the Beiyang Navy warships coming in and out in the distance.
Although this Beiyang Naval Division is now owned by Liu Jun, the Beiyang Naval Division was formed by him and grew up watching it, and the friendship for the Beiyang Naval Division in his heart is not clear in one or two sentences.
"Master, Aunt Sun is here." The housekeeper, who had followed Li Hongzhang for decades, walked up to Li Hongzhang, who was sitting on the balcony and wearing a cloak, and whispered.
As soon as he heard that Liu Jun was coming, Li Hongzhang stretched out his hand and motioned to the housekeeper to pull him up, he knew that Liu Jun must have something to do when he came to find him.
Standing up slowly, Li Hongzhang looked down and saw that Liu Jun had already entered the courtyard.
"Let him wait for me in the study." After Li Hongzhang finished speaking, he motioned to the housekeeper to go down, and then slowly walked to the room with the support of the maids.
"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, you came to me today, what is the matter?" Li Hongzhang, who went back to change his clothes, saw Liu Jun standing in front of the study in a regular manner, holding his favorite pastries in his hands as soon as he entered the study.
Hehe, Liu Jun, who was broken by Li Hongzhang all of a sudden, couldn't hold it on his face, so he could only laugh a few times and handed the things in his hand to Li Maolian, who came with him, this time he wiped his hands and hurriedly ran over to support Li Hongzhang's arm, and after helping Li Hongzhang to the chair and sitting down, he quietly retreated to Li Hongzhang and stood there in front of him.
"Is there a problem there?" Seeing Liu Jun standing there motionless, Li Hongzhang narrowed his eyes and was the first to break the silence.
This one? Liu Jun looked at Li Hongzhang, who was already full of gray hair, he really didn't want to disturb Li Hongzhang, but the problem in front of him, if he didn't handle it well in the future, then the results of his efforts over the years would probably be in vain.
He didn't want to, over the years, the situation that had finally gotten better, and once again because of the Japanese incident was attacked by the British, although his troops were heroic, but in the face of the world's No. 1 Britain, don't talk about himself, even if it was his secret ally Germany, it was like a fishbone stuck in the throat, making Germany uncomfortable.
