Chapter 684: What to bet on with the battery

"I thought this was very good, so I used Zhang Zuolin as the head of the training regiment to lead 500 people to Siberia to train troops for them. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Liu Jun, who figured it out, immediately finalized the candidate.

For Zhang Zuolin, the king of the Northeast in later generations, Liu Jun was originally not at ease, originally he was still as famous as Duan Qirui in later generations, and the time of jumping was relatively long, because of this, for so many years, most of the people who were at the same level as him at the beginning, most of them were not as capable as him, they were already at the corps commander level, and he was the only one who had the ability and the force value, and he could only serve as the deputy commander of the lieutenant general in the third corps, there was no way, this person's influence in Liu Jun's heart was really big, and he didn't dare to use it boldly.

However, let such a general not be used, this is not what Liu Jun wants to see, so over the years, Zhong Lin has been investigating it on his own orders to see if there is any disloyalty to himself, the good thing is that over the years, except for marrying a few more daughters-in-law, the rest has no stain, so Liu Jun is satisfied, and he is also assured that Zhang Zuolin will carry it out.

"Understood, I'll send a telegram in a moment." After Zhong Lin finished speaking, he took out a telegram from his folder again and handed it to Liu Jun, and said again: "Head, the Sasebo attack has received a certain host, this is the information received from the Sasebo station not long ago. ”

What do you mean, could it be that the Japanese army has been prepared for a long time, Liu Jun, who heard this, couldn't help but be shocked, as early as a month before the Sasebo attack, he ordered all departments to be prepared, why is there still an attack tunnel to block it now. Thinking of this, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin: "What's the matter?" ”

"Head, the telegram said that the Sasebo coastal defense battery, since the position of the artillery on the battery was moved within a month, so that Li He was greatly hindered when attacking, and now, the battle has been going on for five days, and the No. 2 battery has not been completely cleared."

"What is Li He doing, I didn't tell him, don't get entangled with the shore defense battery, our purpose is to attack the combined fleet in the military port, and entangle with a battery to give something, send electricity to Tanegashima, let them inform Li He, and quickly let the ghost go in and destroy the combined fleet for me. It's already September, and we have to start landing on the Japanese mainland at the end of October, telling him that time is running out. As soon as he heard that Li He was fighting with the fort, Liu Jun felt a breath of anger in his heart, what is important and what is not, is it that Li and him can't tell the difference or what.

Seeing that Liu Jun was angry, Zhong Lin didn't say anything, but after quickly recording his notes, he turned around and walked out, and began to send a telegram to Tanegashima.

"Open fire." Boom.....

After two loud roars, the main gun of the battleship Hongzhang fired another roar, and the whistling running belt with the breath of death smashed on the No. 2 position, the No. 2 battery, and was shrouded in gunsmoke.

This is already the third targeted strike. In the past few days, the Liaodong Fleet has been shooting little by little, and once it discovers where to fire artillery on the ground, it will inevitably suffer from intensive shelling by the entire fleet. In order to eliminate the threat, this was done relatively slowly, but the effect was very good, and almost a round of artillery went down, and the Japanese fire point had to be destroyed.

Using this method, most of the guns of the No. 2 battery have been destroyed, and it is estimated that only seven or eight of them are still resisting sporadically. These are not big problems for Li He, who is standing on the bridge and observing the situation.

Rumble...... Seeing the firelight rising into the sky, Li He, who raised the telescope, showed a slight smile, he knew that another shore defense gun had been destroyed.

"It seems that the threat of Battery No. 2 can be completely eliminated today." Putting down the binoculars, Li He thought for a while and said to Yan Fu who was standing beside him.

Indeed, most of the forces of the No. 2 battery have been wiped out, and what remains is only a few scattered battery groups that are very hidden, and this kind of sporadic firepower can no longer pose any threat to the fleet.

"Yes, it is estimated that this afternoon, we will be able to end the battle of Battery 2, and then we can carry out the ghost plan." Yan Fu thought about it for a while and said slightly.

Eun, this thing is right.

"Commander, the Wyvern is here." A staff officer walked up, interrupted the conversation, and pointed his finger in the direction of Tanegashima in the distance.

Wyvern, didn't Wyvern order them to guard Tanegashima themselves, how could they come here Li He, who frowned, raised his binoculars, and sure enough, in the distance, Wyvern was waving a flag and signaling to get out of the way.

"Wave the flag and let him come." It is estimated that something urgent happened, otherwise the Wyvern would definitely not have come here under such circumstances.

Whoa...... The flag waved, and after receiving the order, the Wyvern began to slowly approach the battlefield, and anchored outside the battlefield, and then, after releasing the dinghy from above, the dinghy slowly rowed towards the Hongzhang.

"Commander, it seems that the marshal has some orders." After taking a look at the dinghy, Yan Fu stepped forward and said.

It should be like this, Li He nodded, began to hand over the command to the first mate, and then went down the bridge and came to the deck to wait.

Ten minutes later. The dinghy finally approached the massive hull of the Hongzhang. As soon as the sailors lowered the spiral ladder, a lieutenant officer came up.

"Report, Lushun Emergency."

Sure enough, there was some instruction from the marshal's side, and after hearing the lieutenant's report, Li He took the telegram and handed it to Yan Fu after reading it.

"The big handsome is urging." Yan Fu, who had read the telegram, opened his mouth wide and said.

Yes, Li He nodded, and said that he should not be entangled with the battery, but solve the combined fleet as soon as possible, after all, the longer the entanglement. The arrival of the combined fleet returning from the United States would be a very big threat to the landing at the end of the month.

"The marshal is a little anxious, it seems that we have to finish the No. 2 battery as soon as possible, and then notify Cai Tinggan to act." Li He, who bowed his head and pondered for a while, raised his head and said.

"I think I can let Cai Tinggan act tonight, after all, the second battery has been destroyed, their obstacles have been cleared, and the rest is just sleeping floating mines, which are not any threat to them at all." Speaking of this, Yan Fu looked at the sky and said again: "Moreover, tonight is estimated to be a big black sky, and it is a good opportunity to enter the Sasebo Military Port.

"Tell Cai Tinggan to come and see me." Before Yan Fu could finish speaking, Li He had already given an order. He decided, he would do it tonight.
