The whole venue was silent, and the people who followed saw the Qing army kneeling there in the dark, and they all stood there silently, and some even knelt there behind the Qing army, letting the snowflakes hit their faces.

Dalian, the headquarters of the Second Army of the Japanese Army, the headquarters at this time, does not look very good.

Da Shan Yan looked at the officer sitting below, his face pale. He did not expect that the navy would actually send a report to the base camp that the army's attack was not timely, causing the navy to lose two main warships. I didn't expect this kind of slander base camp to believe it, and even sent a report to reprimand him, not to mention, but also to dismiss the temple Yasumi from his post and send it to the military court.

At this moment, the army and the navy tore each other apart because of this incident, the army accused the navy of constantly giving orders and advancing the time for attacking, and the navy accused the army of being unfavorable in the operation, allowing the Qing army to withdraw its forces. The ministers of the two sides almost started a fight at the Imperial Council, and if it weren't for Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi, he didn't dare to imagine what would happen later, and finally Meiji spoke, attacking the characters of Lushun, and he would give it directly to the army. Don't let the Navy interfere. Only then did the two sides declare an end to the abuse, but this had already bought Liu Jun a week's time.

The War Department immediately ordered that the task of attacking Lushun be handed over to the Dashan Iwa Department of the Second Army.

Seeing that no one spoke, Dashan Yan said: "The base camp ordered that our Second Army attack Lushun, and now I have been transferred back to the First Brigade to cooperate with the First Army to return to Dalian and attack Lushun Fortress with all my might." ”

After listening to this, the commander of the 12th Mixed Brigade, Hasegawa, said: "Your Excellency Commander, there is no need for the 1st Brigade, my 12th Mixed Brigade will take Lushun as soon as possible and serve His Excellency the Commander." ”

"Changchuan Jun, the defenders of Lushun are not sheep, they are tigers, they don't want to die in a fight, I think it's better to be careful, and it is the Eleventh Brigade that was chased by Li Rong for more than ten kilometers last time and lost all the heavy artillery.

Now he thought of the Qing army, and his heart was cold. The Qing army chased after them, and chased Lushun out of Tuchengzi in one go, if they hadn't run faster, they wouldn't have even been able to leave a single hair. , if it weren't for the rearguard interception, and the unknown artillery exploded around from time to time. The thought of that terrible explosion made him terrified to this day.

Hasegawa glanced at Oji Yasumun contemptuously, and said disdainfully: "My Great Japanese Imperial Army is known to be frightened by a group of rabble, is Your Excellency the brigade commander afraid of being chased and beaten by the Qing army again?" ”

"You." Oji Yasujun stood up and glared at the prickly talker.

"What, am I not right?"

In fact, Dashanyan was also a little dissatisfied, this attack on Lushun, who would have thought that it would be a failure in less than a day. What's even worse is that the 11th Brigade actually lost all its artillery, which really disgraced the Second Army. He was transferred back to Nogi Nishinori this time, and he also had the intention of replacing the 11th Brigade and letting the 1st Brigade and the 12th Mixed Brigade attack. As for the 11th Brigade, it is appropriate to be a reserve.

However, the telegram of the 1st Brigade Nogi Nishinori caused Oyama Iwa to change this idea.

The Qing army didn't know where the courage came from, and dragged the 1st Brigade back to Dalian. Every step the 1st Brigade took would be harassed by the Qing army, and at this rate, I am afraid that it would not be able to return to Dalian in five days.

Five days, where is there still five days for the first brigade of Dashan Rock. So he finally decided that the 11th Brigade and the 12th Mixed Brigade would attack Lushun.

Dashanyan stopped the quarrel between the two sides and issued an order to attack Lushun, and at the same time warned the two to cooperate sincerely and take Lushun. After the order was issued, both sides went back to start preparations, and in view of the abandonment of the field artillery of the 11th Ground Brigade, Dashanyan transferred a few more artillery pieces to the 11th Ground Brigade.

The time of the attack was set for the 27th. That is, the day after tomorrow.

Dalian, since the Japanese occupation of this place, the people here have been listless all day long. Zhong Lin put on the makeup of a beggar and was walking quickly outside the city, he had already inquired about the date and number of the attack of the Japanese army.

When he saw the Japanese troops patrolling the city, Zhong Lin would always cleverly hide to the side, waiting for the Japanese army to pass before coming out and walking.

Dalian has been taken over by the Japanese army, to get out of the city gate, had to go out from the east gate, Zhong Lin went around for three hours, before he got out, and then quickly ran to the place where the horses were hidden, took off his beggar clothes, put on the clothes of the Qing army, and quickly ran in the direction of Lushun.

Lushun, after paying respects to the cemetery of the Qing soldiers who died in battle that day, the morale of the Qing troops at the training ground suddenly rose a lot. The entire training ground shouted loudly.

When Liu Jun had nothing to do in the past few days, he also came back here for a turn, and at the same time accompanied the Qing army to train for more than an hour.

Wu Xiaoyan came to the training ground, found Liu Jun, ran over, and said to Liu Jun: "Zhong Lin is back." ”

Zhong Lin came back, which means that Zhong Lin has spied on the situation of the Japanese army. When Liu Jun heard this, he immediately returned to the county government with Wu Xiaoyan.

As soon as he arrived at the county office, Liu Jun saw Zhong Lin, who had not changed his clothes, sitting there, and as soon as he saw Liu Jun, Zhong Lin stood up and said, "Head, I'm back." ”

"Helpless, hard work." Liu Jun nodded in response, then waited for Zhong Lin to drink the tea, and asked again: "How is the situation, what is the movement of the Japanese army?"

Zhong Lin wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth, stood up, took out a piece of paper from his bag and said: "This time, the Japanese army attacked Lushun with the 11th Brigade of Oji Yasumi and the 12th Mixed Brigade of Hasegawa. ”

"Do you know if it's time to attack?" Liu Jun pondered for a while and asked.

"Twenty-Seven"

On the 27th, today is the 25th, which means that there are still two days left, and it seems that the Japanese army does not give themselves extra time to rest and recuperate. Liu Jun thought in his heart.

Seeing that Zhong Lin was still standing there, Liu Jun said: "You go down to rest, you should hurry up about intelligence matters in the future, you are my eyes." ”

After Zhong Lin left, Liu Jun sat there alone, staring towards the military map in a daze.

Wu Xiaoyan's food had already been heated three times, but every time she went in to clean up, she would find that Liu Jun had not touched the things on the table at all. Look at the confinement door. Wu Xiaoyan shook her head helplessly, put the things on the table on the tray, and prepared to move out, which was hot. She now knows Liu Jun, and when Liu Jun is thinking about things, he will lock himself in the room alone and ignore anyone. Even if it's his favorite food on weekdays, it won't attract him.

With a squeak, Wu Xiaoyan, who had just walked to the door, heard this voice, turned around sharply, and saw Liu Jun walking out of it with a haggard face.

He hurriedly put the food on the plate on the top, brewed Liu Jun's favorite Maojian tea, and handed it to Liu Jun who was sitting in front of the table. ”

Liu Jun picked up the chopsticks: "No need, this cold can also be eaten, saving you trouble." ”

Wu Xiaoyan, who was sitting next to her, held it up, looked at Liu Jun, who wanted to eat very much, and began to think crankily in her heart.

Not to mention, although this person usually doesn't look like a person, he forgets to sleep and eat when he encounters something big. To be a good man, except for a bit of a pervert. Phew, what are you thinking, Wu Xiaoyan stopped thinking about it, and when she saw Liu Jun's idiot, he asked softly, "Have you figured out a way?" ”

"What?" Liu Jun didn't hear clearly, and looked up at Wu Xiaoyan.

Wu Xiaoyan had to repeat it.

"Oh, come out, you will work hard for a while, go and inform all the brigade-level commanders to come here for a meeting. In addition, Wu Datong was informed that he would also be present. ”

"Okay, I'll let you know in a moment." Wu Xiaoyan finished answering and began to pack her things to the kitchen, and then rode out of the barracks.

The county government is now full of people, and all the command personnel who received Wu Xiaoyan's notice have arrived at the county government hall, among which Li He was also ordered to arrive at the scene.

Li Rong specially rushed back from Tuchengzi, and after the meeting, he would rush back overnight. As for Zhong Lin, because he is now in charge of intelligence work, he is also present.

The entire lobby has now been arranged as a venue, and the entire venue is made up of several tables spliced together to form a rectangle? It is square, covered with a green cloth, and under the original bright plaque, a huge military map hangs there.

Since Xiang'er is now Liu Jun's chef, she is also in the conference hall and begins to add tea to the tea bowl.

The meeting was scheduled for six o'clock, but there were still ten minutes left, and the personnel had already arrived.

Li He and Zhang Yi belong to the fort, so the two of them are also leaning together, which is easy to distinguish, Li He belongs to the navy, so in the whole venue, he is wearing a white military uniform, and the rest of the people are all army uniforms of the Qing army.

The entire venue was already on alert, and outside the hall, a company transferred from the First Brigade was being arranged outside, and even the top of the house was arranged with personnel, but Liu Jun arranged it.

At six o'clock, Liu Jun came to the conference hall accompanied by Wu Xiaoyan and Zhong Lin.

As soon as everyone saw Liu Jun, they all stood up, and only sat down when Liu Jun walked to the top and sat down. looked at Liu Jun without saying a word.

Liu Jun looked at these people, there were people who had been with him at the beginning, and those who came from Dengzhou later, no matter where they came from, now they all have a unified goal, to hold Lushun.

After inspecting the circle, Liu Jun opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, since the failure of the Japanese attack on Lushun on the 19th, we defended Lushun for the first time, and now the Japanese army is unwilling to lose, and has gathered troops again to carry out a second attack on our Lushun, and now I will ask Director Zhong to briefly introduce the movements of the Japanese army." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he pointed to Zhong Lin next to him.

Zhong Lin nodded, stood up, and began to introduce the situation of the Japanese army in detail.
