"William, we're leaving here, and I don't know when we're going to come back?" Li He said after looking at William in front of him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

William knew what this sentence meant, and lowered his head to think about it, William did not object, but raised his head and said, "Since you are all leaving, then see if we can sit down and have a good drink tonight." ”

This Li He agreed, since he was leaving, let's have a good exchange with William about the navy.

"Okay, it's better to be respectful, but I'm not used to beer."

"Okay, I'll go and prepare your favorite liquor for you right away." William smiled, then turned and walked out.

Woowoo....... Woowoo...... On the morning of July 8, 1905, the huge fleet began to slowly leave the high seas fleet station and sail towards the British, and the Beiyang Naval Division left, representing the second phase of the implementation of the heart-digging plan.

On the same day that the Liaobei Ocean Naval Division left the High Seas Fleet, far away in the Far East, the 50,000 Liaodong Army commanded by Wang Shizhen had all arrived at Jianmen Pass.

Jianmen Pass, is an important place to enter Sichuan from the north, the imperial court over the years, in order to attack the Liaodong army in Hanzhong from Jianmen Pass, over the years, a total of three land forts have been built in Jianmen Pass, five battery groups, plus a town and three associations with a total of 23,000 troops to defend here, originally, the commander here is Li Yuanhong, but the court does not trust the Han people, and handed over the defense here to Xiliang.

Xiliang is still relatively militarily some, but compared with Li Yuanhong, it is still a lot different.

After Xiliang took charge of the defense of Jianmen Pass, he adjusted the defense here, and carried out the western front, which Li Yuanhong originally used for serious defense, to the eastern front. Judging by the terrain. Xiliang's defense is very correct.

The western front is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Xiliang estimated that if the Liaodong Army launched an attack, it would definitely choose this place, but the eastern front, so in common sense, this was the right decision.

At the forward position of the Western Front, Wang Shizhen, who had already arrived at the front line last night, finally put down the telescope in his hand, and just now, he observed the position of the Qing army opposite.

"Did the Scout come back?" Wang Shizhen returned to the map and asked Zhang Qing beside him.

Zhang Qing took a look at it, and then said: "Not at present, but according to the situation, the strength of the Qing army's first association has been transferred to the eastern front, and now on the western front, there are only two associations of 6,000 people, plus the strength of two artillery regiments." ”

In this way, Xiliang was worried that he was attacking the Eastern Front, since this was the case, Wang Shizhen suddenly pushed away the miscellaneous items on the table, and then picked up the pencil next to him and drew on the map, then put down the pencil in his hand and said: "Order, the Eighteenth Division of the Eighth Army, immediately move from the Eastern Front, in addition, after arriving at night, order an artillery regiment located on the Eastern Front to secretly enter the position of the Western Front." ”

"You want to make a noise." After the soldiers went out to convey the order, Zhang Qing asked Wang Shizhen on the side.

Wang Shizhen nodded, indeed, he did this to make a feint attack on the eastern front and take the western front as the main attack.

"Do you think Beijing is being notified of this plan? After all, this decision is too risky, if Xiliang is not fooled, our troops on the Western Front will be attacked by the Qing army's batteries. Seeing Wang Shizhen nodding, Zhang Qing thought for a while and said.

Wang Shizhen thought for a while, indeed, Zhang Qing was right, if there was a problem with this attack, taking Jianmen Pass would be an empty talk, and he would not give an order and let Beijing decide this matter.

"It's okay, send a telegram to the marshal, and ask for instructions." Wang Shizhen thought for a while and said to Zhang Qing beside him.

Summer Palace Renshou Hall. The floor of the main hall has now been covered by many maps, and Liu Jun, who is wearing a handsome military uniform, is lying on the ground with Zheng Yiqian, drawing on the map back and forth.

At present, the Liaodong Army is attacking in three directions. In every place, although Liu Jun did not participate in the command, he knew that the most important road was the direction of Hanzhong.

Now, Liu Jun doesn't have to worry about what other countries will do, although Britain has lost its strength now, but this does not affect his status as a world power, he said that he does not support it, and no one in other countries dares to run out and jump.

It's just that on the U.S. side, the actions in the past few days are somewhat intriguing, but on the U.S. side, Liu Jun is not worried. Since the last time the United States and itself failed in the battle for Hawaii, the relationship between himself and the United States has not been very good, although there are ambassadors on both sides, but it is only for everyone's face. Nothing else.

"Zhong Lin, are you done?" Turning around, seeing that Zhong Lin had walked in quietly, Liu Jun, who was lying on the map, asked.

Zhong Lin nodded and said, "It's over." Speaking of this, Zhong Lin took out a telegram again and handed it to Liu Jun and said, "Wang Shizhen telegram." ”

Wang Shizhen's telegram, Liu Jun, who heard this, stood up from the ground and looked at it, then picked up the map of the area around Jianmen Pass from the ground and looked at it, and then said: "I agree with Wang Shizhen's opinion." ”

"Got it." Zhong Lin saw that Liu Jun replied so quickly, and immediately took back the telegram in Liu Jun's hand before walking out.

On the contrary, it seems that Wang Shizhen is going to teach Xi a good lesson this time, and when Zhong Lin goes out, Liu Jun thought in his heart.

On the front line of Jianmen Pass, Wang Shizhen has been waiting for the telegram from Beijing since the telegram was sent, and at present, the armies have arrived at the combat position, and as long as the telegram from Beijing arrives, he will be able to immediately order an attack, and strive to take Jianmen Pass within two days, and then enter Sichuan.

It's been three hours, and after looking at the time hanging on a wooden stake, Wang Shizhen closed his eyes again and waited patiently.

A sound of footsteps made Wang Shizhen open his eyes, and he saw Zhang Qing pick up a telegram and stride in.

"Commander, Commander, Commander, urgent telegram."

When the reply arrived, Wang Shizhen, who heard this, stood up suddenly, and then took the telegram from Zhang Qing's hand, which clearly stated that he agreed with his attack plan.

"The marshal agreed to our plan." Wang Shizhen, who put the telegram on the chair on the side, said to Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing took the telegram from the table and looked at it, then raised his head: "Then when do you think you will attack?" ”

When to attack, this Wang Shizhen has not yet thought about it, he is waiting, waiting for news from Xiliang.

If Xiliang's troops don't move, they can't move, and they must move Xiliang's troops, and then they can attack with confidence and take the Jianmen Pass. (To be continued.) )
