The report claimed that the Hainan Fleet did not follow their dissuasion, and actually aimed its guns at the British Weihai Fleet, asking for support.

General Philmantle immediately called back, ordering them not to allow the artillery to be fired without his permission. Wait until he asks for advice before making a decision.

As a result, the British Far East Fleet promptly reported the situation on the Yellow Sea to Britain, and ten minutes later, a telegram was sent from Britain: Please ease up the handling of the Hainan Fleet, and if necessary, let it go.

General Philmantle smiled slightly when he saw the call from home, and said to himself that sometimes the reputation of tigers is more terrible than their teeth!

He ordered the guards to forward the original telegram to the Weihai Fleet, and the commander of the Weihai Fleet, Corsin, was very surprised to receive the telegram forwarded by General Philmantel, and he turned to the captain of the ship, Robert Berg, and said, "Is the telegram mistranslated?" ”

Robert Berg took the telegram, looked at it again and again, and said, "Mr. Colonel, in addition to the coded translation of Prime Minister Balfour, there is also General Philmantle's order, how do you think this telegram is wrong?" ”

Commander Corsin said: "How can our fleet of the British Empire compromise with the fleet of the Qing Dynasty? ”

Robert Berg pointed ahead and said, "Mr. Colonel, you are wrong, they are not the fleet of the Qing Dynasty, they are a Hainan fleet that has just defeated the Japanese combined fleet. ”

Commander Korsin said: "Hainan fleet? What kind of fleet is this, isn't it the fleet of Hainan Island, a small island in the Great Qing Kingdom? ”

Robert Berg shrugged his shoulders and said: "A powerful fleet has nothing to do with his origin, nothing to do with the size of his region, only to his strength, and all external things don't represent anything." ”

Commander Corsin still shook his head reluctantly, and whispered to himself: "How is this possible, the world is changing too fast!"

At this time, dozens of shells exploded in front of the Weihai fleet.

Robert Berg hurriedly said: "Mr. Colonel, we don't have the ability to change the world yet, quickly order our four cruisers to get out of the way!" ”

Commander Korsin still looked at the Hainan Fleet in front of him unwillingly, and was unwilling to make a decision.

Robert Berg yelled: "Mr. Colonel, don't take yourself too seriously, do you think your four cruisers are stronger than the combined fleet of Japan?" If you hesitate any longer, we can't even exist with these four dilapidated cruisers, don't you know that this king of Hainan is a pure madman? Give the order! Otherwise, you'll never stand a chance again! ”

Commander Korsin's face changed suddenly, and when he saw more than a dozen battleships of the Hainan Fleet in front of him, the muzzles began to adjust the distance, and he immediately ordered: Weihai Fleet to get out of the way!

Chen Fangzheng saw that the Weihai Fleet had retreated towards the Weihai Naval Port, and ordered the Hainan Fleet to turn around and sail at full speed towards the Liaodong Peninsula!

Chen Zhong ordered the Hainan Fleet to be divided into three formations, the original 1st Battle Group, the 2nd Battle Group, the 1st Guerrilla Formation, and the Mobile Battle Group to attack Jinzhou, Dalian, and Lushun respectively.

Half an hour after the two formations launched an attack, the first battle group began to storm Jinzhou, and the five transport ships of the Hainan Fleet, carrying 30,000 elite marines led by Ma Cong, followed the first battle group, and its marines prepared to land from Jinzhou.

The Japanese army stationed a standing division in Lushun, Dalian, and Jinzhou. During the war, the Japanese Standing Division was organized into 12 infantry brigades, 2 cavalry squadrons, 54 field artillery pieces, and 18 field heavy guns. The total garrison of these three places was nearly 30,000 people.

The reason why Chen Zhong deployed his troops in this way was because Port Arthur was difficult to defend and difficult to attack. So, he chose to feint Lushun and Dalian, and forcibly attack Jinzhou to land.

Now stationed in Jinzhou is the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, and its brigade commander is Katsuo Nishikan.

Nishikuan Katsuo Osa, is the eldest son of Lieutenant General Nishikanjiro, the commander of the Japanese Manchurian Army's current garrison in Liaodong.

During the Lushun Massacre, Nishikanjiro served as the commander of the Second Brigade of the First Division of the Japanese Manchurian Army. In accordance with the orders of the commander of the Mountain Genji Division, he and Nogi Noshinori, who was the commander of the First Brigade at the time, carried out a brutal massacre of the innocent people of Lushun.

His eldest son, Katsuo Nishikan, was nurtured by his father since he was a child, and inherited the immorality and cruelty of Japanese militarism, and the Golden State where he was stationed was full of blood.

Chen Zhong led the first team to start shelling Jinzhou at noon, and after more than an hour of shelling, Jinzhou's defensive offensive was damaged to varying degrees.

Ma Cong asked to lead the Marines to forcibly land in Jinzhou, but Chen Zhong did not agree, and Chen Zhong ordered the fleet to approach Jinzhou 500 meters and continue to carry out artillery bombardment on Jinzhou.

After about an hour, Ma Cong could no longer hold back, and he asked again to lead his Marines to force a landing.

Chen Zhong said: "My colonel, you are a little too anxious, and your marines will not be able to land until our fleet carries out the third shelling. ”

Ma Cong said impatiently: "Lord Wang, you are a little too interested in this Xikuan Shengman." ”

Chen Zhong said: "Colonel immediately, please control your emotions, you are a commander, in addition to being responsible for the outcome of the war, you are also responsible for the lives of your soldiers!" If you attack so rashly, you will lose the lives of many soldiers and brothers! So, please stay calm! ”

Ma Cong said embarrassedly: "Lord Wang, I am indeed too anxious, I just want to enter Jinzhou as soon as possible and personally punish these inhumane Japanese Manchurian Army!" ”

Chen Zhong patted Ma Cong and said, "There will be a chance." "Finally he ordered the fleet and began the third round of heavy shelling.

Ma Cong divided the nearly 200 machine gunners in the Marine Corps into four detachments as the first batch of Marine troops to charge and land on the island.

Katsuo Nishikan in Jinzhou City reported the situation in Jinzhou to Major General Yamashi Yuliang, the commander of the division in Dalian. This mountain Tomora is the second son of the mountain Genji who caused the Lushun massacre.

Rear Admiral Tomoliang of the Mountains was also under heavy fire from the Hainan Fleet in Dalian, and he was unable to reinforce Jinzhou.

Xi Kuan Katsuo looked helplessly at the city defense facilities in Jinzhou, almost paralyzed by the shelling of the Hainan fleet.

Katsuo Nishikan pulled out the Japanese war knife given to him by his father, Nishikanjiro, and personally led his brigade to prepare for a life-and-death fight with the Hainan fleet!
