The train station was noisy and noisy. The endless flow of crowds covered up the conversation between Liu Jun and the three of them very well. Liu Jun was dissatisfied with Zhong Lin's arrangement all the way, and disliked the customers on the car with his disguised face. Along the way, Liu Jun didn't say a word, and Zheng Yiqian, who made up and became a village girl, was so beautiful that she chatted with the people in the car along the way.

In the noise, after Liu Jun and the three of them got out of the train station, they went straight to the stall and ate something at random, and then wandered around Shengjing City until the evening, when there were few pedestrians on the street, then they picked up the sack and walked leisurely to the former Shengjing General's Mansion and the current Liaodong Fourth Corps Headquarters.

After entering the command center, after a few words of greeting with Luo Dacheng, Liu Jun got up and said goodbye, the thing he wanted to do most now was not to understand the situation, but to take a bath first, wipe off the ginger juice on his body, and restore himself to his original appearance.

hurriedly took over the burden from Zheng Yiqian's hands. Liu Jun turned around and ran to the back hall, locked the door, and after taking a shower happily, this time he changed into the marshal's uniform in the baggage, and then came to the hall.

In the hall, Luo Dacheng, Zhong Lin and others had been waiting quietly in front of the battle map, and as soon as they saw Liu Jun coming, Luo Dacheng immediately picked up the command in his hand and began to introduce the situation.

From Luo Dacheng's mouth, Liu Jun now knew that the 13th Division of the Seventh Army of the Fourth Corps had arrived at Shanhaiguan, and the artillery regiment had also followed the 13th Division and arrived at Shanhaiguan. At the same time, the 15th Division of the Eighth Army also followed up to Xingcheng, once the Seventh Army launched an attack and advanced, the Eighth Army would immediately start from Xingcheng, cross the Shanhaiguan, and then take the Daling River, while the Seventh Army returned to advance from the Changli area, but Liu Jun knew that no matter where he advanced, he must take the first town and the first association of the new army of the imperial court where Lu Long was stationed.

The first town has 17,000 people in its hands, and the most elite army is Tie Liang's first association, which is also the co-ordinator. After fighting with Ronglu in Shengjing a few years ago, Liu Jun knew that he had fallen out with the imperial court, so he ordered his troops to cross the Shanhaiguan Pass and occupy Qinhuangdao City, which was used as a buffer in the Shanhaiguan area. And Lulong, because of its geographical location, has been under the jurisdiction of the Qing army for many years.

After the imperial court trained the new army, it put the most elite First Association into Lu Long, used to prevent the Liaodong Army, and now, if you don't pull out this nail, you want to go south to occupy Beijing City, obviously there is some possibility of not fighting, slightly lost thought for a while, Liu Jun asked about the equipment of the First Association, and ordered everyone to rest, after all, what happened to Lu Long, I have to wait until tomorrow to see it again before arranging.

Lulong is a county seat in Qinhuangdao, because the Liaodong Railway was built to Shanhaiguan, so after Liu Jun and others got off at Shanhaiguan, they disguised themselves as front-line officers, and led Zhong Lin, Zheng Yiqian and others to ride fast horses to the dividing line between Lulong's Qing army and himself.

At the top of the convenient observation spot, Liu Jun relied on the surrounding trees to cover it and raised the telescope in his hand.

From the telescope, it can be clearly seen that the dragon flag fluttering on the Qing army's position 500 meters away has been an empty open field for the lieutenant.

Liu Jun was very puzzled, that is, this open land, obviously thought it was caused, because it was surrounded by solid wood, but the three hundred meters controlled by the Qing army were bare and unobstructed. That wide area is at least 200 meters long.

"Strange, why are there trees around here, why are there no areas controlled by the Qing army?" In confusion, Liu Jun turned around and smelled Luo Dacheng on the side.

Luo Dacheng looked at Liu Jun's fingers, nodded slightly, and then counted Liu Jun, where a year ago, the Qing army suddenly cleared the surrounding trees within a week, and in this open area, no less than three machine guns were placed.

Vicious and spicy, really vicious, Liu Jun's evaluation of Tie Liang has risen to another level.

I thought that Tie Liang led the troops, he was strong, but he didn't find that Tie Liang was so poisonous, artificially making an open field more than 200 meters around, which caused that once the troops attacked, they would be severely attacked by the Qing army. Moreover, from the telescope, he clearly saw that although the First Association of the Qing Army did not arrange barbed wire on the position, the First Association had dug trenches in the position, and it was obvious from the commanding heights, revealing the black muzzle outside the position.

"Tsk, this Tieliang is not simple." Putting down the binoculars, Liu Jun sighed and praised Zhong Lin and the others who were holding up the telescope beside him.

"Head, yes, this open field, and there are trenches on the opposite side, which will cause a lot of trouble for the outside attack, this Tie Liang is sure how we will go to war. Did they see our intentions and start preparing? Zhong Lin thought a lot, and when he saw this scene, he said too many doubts at once.

Probably not, Liu Jun frowned, and raised the telescope again, he originally wanted to see when the surrounding trees were cut down, but the distance was too far, and with a lot of weeds, he couldn't see it at all, and in desperation, Liu Jun could only turn his head to Luo Dacheng.

"When did you get this open field?"

Luo Dacheng knew the situation here very well, and after thinking about it slightly, Luo Dacheng said affirmatively: "Marshal, this open land was created by the Qing army a month after we fought in Fuzhou two years ago. ”

There was a false alarm, Liu Jun heard Zhong Lin's statement, and he was really worried that the imperial court knew about his intentions and had been prepared, and now when he heard Luo Dacheng say this, he immediately put his mind at ease, but there are many dreams in the night, in order to prevent accidents, Liu Jun decided to do it in advance.

Back at the Corps Headquarters, Liu Jun faced the map and began to ponder.

If you want to give the imperial court a huge sprint, you must attack quickly, if you want to attack quickly and catch the imperial court off guard, then you must take Lu Long, and if you want to take Lu Long, you must first take the position of the first association on the opposite side.

The new army of the First Association, if it was in the past, I guess I didn't pay much attention to it, or I didn't pay enough attention to it, but now. He sighed slightly. Liu Jun began to walk back and forth in the hall.

Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, saw where Liu Jun was walking back and forth, knowing that he was worried that he would be threatened when the troops attacked, he bowed his head slightly and thought twice, Zheng Yiqian stepped forward: "See if you can mobilize heavy artillery, first intensively bombard the position of the First Association, and then let the cavalry attack quickly, and after rushing into the position, entangle with the Qing army, and then the infantry will follow." ”

The idea is a good idea, the crux of the problem lies in one point, that is, whether the artillery can accurately strike at it, whether it can take down the enemy's firepower points, otherwise, all this is in vain, let the cavalry sprint, and there is only one end, that is, the dead cannot die.

"Head, I think it's okay, after all, the imperial court doesn't know the news that we are going to attack." Zhong Lin on the side nodded, it was Zheng Yiqian.

It seems that this is the only way, seeing that the two of them agreed, Liu Jun could only nod, but at the same time, he ordered Luo Dacheng to concentrate artillery fire to the maximum extent and carry out intensive bombardment of the Qing army's position.

After arranging everything, after going to the front line to inspect the troops that were about to participate in the battle, Liu Juncai returned from Shengjing and returned to the Lushun brigade by train.

Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was September 5th. In the past few days, all the units of the Liaodong Army have been prepared, and they are all quietly waiting for Liu Jun's order from Liaodong, and then immediately start attacking.

Liu Jun actually knew that the various ministries had completed their preparations, and the reason why they did not order the attack was because, up to now, what had been the actions of Tsarist Russia.

According to the news from Moscow and the Far East, in recent times, the troops of Tsarist Russia in the Far East have been frequently transferred, especially a division of Tsarist Russia stationed in Vladivostok has been transferred to Boli.

Liu Jun was not so much hesitating as waiting, waiting for the intelligence department to figure out what the purpose of Tsarist Russia was doing, and once he knew the purpose of Tsarist Russia, he would mercilessly order the troops to attack, and then quickly take Beijing and then go west, take Shaanxi and Gansu and other places. And then dominate the world.
