Emperor Meiji learned that the Hainan fleet did not continue to shell Tokyo, but sailed in the direction of Bohai Bay.
The Japanese base camp predicted that the intention of the Hainan Fleet was to cooperate with the Hainan ground forces in the Jinzhou area to land on the Liaodong Peninsula.
Emperor Meiji then ordered Japan's Manchurian Army to prepare for battle. He vowed to avenge the Battle of Matsu and destroy the Hainan fleet.
As a result, Emperor Meiji mobilized all the elite troops of the Japanese Manchurian Army to prepare for war with all their might, and wanted to have a desperate contest with the Hainan army.
In addition, he ordered Japanese Foreign Minister Komura Shotaro to go to Beijing to ask the Qing government about the Hainan army.
For a time, the Liaodong Peninsula was like a powder keg, which would detonate with just one chance to ignite.
The dramatic changes in this area have attracted the attention of the whole world, and they have not yet figured out what is going on, and they are watching coldly.
Chen Zhong led the Hainan fleet to dock at Chongming Island for a day to make a rest and replenishment for the fleet.
According to Chen Zhong's plan, they would land from Dalian and Jinzhou, and then raid Lushun.
Before the war, they collected a great deal of information about the terrain, fortifications, and garrisons in this area. The situation around the Liaodong Peninsula was analyzed and discussed in detail.
Lushun is located in the southernmost part of the Liaodong Peninsula and is a port city, facing Weihaiwei across the sea, and the gateway to the Bohai Sea.
Weihaiwei Port was forcibly leased by the British in the 24th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, and the British army had four cruisers stationed in Weihai Weijun Port.
This time, entering the Bohai Bay and landing on the Liaodong Peninsula, Weihai Weijun Port is the first pass to pass.
When talking about the British garrison in Weihaiwei Military Port, Chen Fangzheng asked Chen Zhong: "Lord Wang, when our army enters Bohai Bay this time, if Weihaiwei is blocked by the British fleet, how will our army deal with it?" ”
Chen Zhong said decisively: "General Chen Fangzheng, our army has wiped out the combined fleet of the Japanese army, do you think we have anything to fear?" We have come to this point, we have to be tough to the end, and put on an absolutely tough posture to the world, so that they will be afraid. If, we are a little timid, these Western powers will all intervene!
All robbers have one characteristic, bullying the weak. Once you are more aggressive and ruthless than them, they will make a friendly gesture. Therefore, there is only one purpose in dealing with these robbers - to be tough to the end!
Remember, our Hainan army will never show weakness to these bandits, if anyone dares to be our enemy, we will never be soft, use the most ruthless means to deal with them, let them remember, robbing others, sooner or later they will spit out with profits! If you dare to cross the land of our China, sooner or later you will have to pay a double price! ”
Chen Fangzheng said: "Lord Wang, I think that the deployment of British troops in Weihaiwei is not enough to stop our powerful Hainan fleet, and through this Weihaiwei, there will basically not be too many problems." It's just that you want to inform them in advance? ”
"There is no need for this, we are absolutely free to sail in our own waters, and if the British cause trouble because of this, then we will answer them decisively with artillery. There is no need to dwell on this issue any longer.
Now, we should focus on the several locations on the Liaodong Peninsula where we are about to land, and make corresponding operational plans in light of their geographical characteristics and the deployment of Japanese troops. After Chen Zhong finished speaking, he ordered the guards to bring a map of the Liaodong Peninsula.
Chen Zhong pointed to Port Arthur on the Liaodong Peninsula and said: "Port Arthur used to be an important military town in the era of the Beiyang Naval Division. In that year, Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang, the minister of Beiyang, spent 16 years and tens of millions of taels of silver to build this military port.
The docks, forts and military reserves built in Port Arthur at that time can be called the pride of the Beiyang Naval Army.
This Lushun military port, which was once called the "first military port in the Far East" by the world, has extremely dangerous terrain and is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Because Port Arthur was backed by mountains, Li Hongzhang had forts on the main peaks in those years, with forts such as Pine Mountain, Erlong Mountain, and Jiguan Mountain in the east, and forts such as Chair Mountain, Case Mountain, and Wangtai in the west, which could erect nearly 100 cannons.
Therefore, landing on the Liaodong Peninsula is a big battle for our army. This king has ordered General Li to attack Yingkou and Liaoyang from the ground to cut off the backup supply of the Lushun military port. In this way, isolating the defenders of the Port Arthur and thus enabling the marines of our Hainan Fleet to land on the Liaodong Peninsula will relieve a large part of the pressure. Colonel Ma Cong, tell me about the garrison in Lushun Dalian. ”
Ma Cong has now been appointed by Chen Zhong as a colonel division commander of the Marine Corps of the Hainan Fleet.
Ma Cong said: "Lord Wang, generals, according to the intelligence of our army, there is a division of the Japanese Manchurian Army stationed in the vicinity of Lushun Dalian Jinzhou, and the commander of the division is the second son of the mountain Motoji who was the culprit of the Lushun massacre in the First Sino-Japanese War.
Nishikuan Katsuo was the eldest son of the commander of the Second Brigade, Nishikanjiro, when the Lushun Massacre was created. Nishikuan Erlang was the commander of the garrison in Liaodong first. Kiichi Saji is the son-in-law of Jiro Nishikanjiro. ”
Chen Zhong said: "The people mentioned by Colonel Ma Cong are all Japanese devils who once caused the inhumane Lushun Massacre in the land of Northeast China.
Kliman, a reporter for the American "New York World", was in Lushun that year, and he witnessed the inhumane massacre.
In his report, he wrote: "I saw a man kneeling before the soldiers, prostrating and begging for his life. The soldier thrust his head into the ground with his spear tail knife in one hand, and cut off his head with his sword with the other. One man shrank at the head of the horn, and a group of Japanese soldiers fired bullets to shatter his body.
There was an old man kneeling in the middle of the street, and the Japanese soldiers cut him down, almost in two. One refugee was also killed by bullets on the ridge. One man fell from the roof into the middle of the street, and the soldier stabbed him more than ten times with a spear and knife.
On the third day after the war, at dawn, I was awakened by the sound of gunfire and the Japanese slaughtered again. When I went out, I saw a group of soldiers chasing three people, and one of them was holding a baby with no clothes, and he hurried away and dropped the baby.
At one o'clock later, I saw that the child was dead, and the two had been knocked down by bullets. The third man, the father of the child, stumbled, and a soldier with a spear and a knife immediately grabbed him on the back. I stepped forward and showed the red cross with the white cloth wrapped around my arm, trying to save him, but I couldn't stop it. The soldier thrust his sword into the neck of the man who was lying on the ground three or four times, and then went, leaving him to breathe on the ground and wait for his death.
The next day, Willy and I went to the well of the day, and found a dead body. When he saw the two soldiers stooping beside the dead body, he was very surprised. A soldier with a knife in his hand, the two men have disemboweled the corpse and bewitched out their hearts.
I passed through the streets, and everywhere I saw corpses mutilated like wild beasts. The shopkeepers who had been slain were piled up beside the road, and the tears in their eyes and the blood from their wounds were frozen into lumps. There are even dogs and dogs who know spirituality, seeing the stiffness of their master's corpse, they can't help but scream on the side, and their misery can be seen!
These are the accounts I have seen in Kliman's report, and the inhumanity of the Japanese army is outrageous! Soldiers, this landing battle on the Liaodong Peninsula is the time for us to seek justice from the devils, and we must let the devils who once slaughtered our compatriots in the land of Lushun pay for their blood debts!
Let these inhuman Japanese devils have to pay exponentially for their cruelty! Even if history has gone far, we must let them know that this blood debt must be repaid even if it goes to the edge of the sky! ”
