In the Lushun war room, Liu Jun sat in his seat, looked at Zhong Lin standing next to him, and grabbed a piece of pastry from the coffee table. swallowed: "What's the matter, did Oji Yasuchun agree?" ”

"Head, haven't received the telegram yet." Zhong Lin looked at the almond pastry on the coffee table. Swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Seeing the appearance of swallowing saliva, Liu Jun knew that Zhong Lin was a glutton, on the same level as foodies in later generations.

Moved the plate forward and looked at Zhong Lin: "Eat, otherwise I'm worried that you won't give me information." ”

"Hehe, how can it." Zhong Lin smiled unceremoniously and picked up a few pastries from the plate.

Liu Jun picked up a piece of pastry and stood up, Zhong Lin came over, and the two came to the map together.

Liu Jun looked at the map, and then said, "I think as long as the 11th Brigade of Panjin surrenders, we can attack Dandong." He glanced at Zhong Lin: "What do you think?" ”

Swallow the pastry in one bite: "Head, I have no opinion, but how many troops to concentrate, after we take Dandong, will we strengthen the Yalu River into North Korea or solve the 1st and 15th Divisions first?" ”

Thinking about it, Liu Jun shook his head: "For the time being, we can't go to the river, depending on the situation, we have to try to interrupt the supply line of the Japanese army in Liaoyang and starve him to death." ”

The two discussed again for a while, and a telegraph man walked in and handed the telegram to Zhong Lin, who took it and smiled happily and handed the telegram to Liu Jun: "Head, good news, the Japanese army is willing to surrender." ”

"Okay, Liu Jun claps his hands, you go and find Wu Datong for me, now it's time for him to be the protagonist."

Wu Datong soon came to the room, and after seeing Liu Jun, he asked what was the matter, and Liu Jun handed a document to Wu Datong: "The 11th Brigade of the Japanese Army surrendered, and I want to cut off their back road, you do it according to this, I hope I can get good news from you when I come back." ”

Wu Datong took it and looked at it twice, and when he heard Liu Jun say it back, he asked in surprise: "What?" The handsome man is going to go far away. ”

Liu Jun nodded: "Yes, I'm going to Gushan, you go to Lushun for government affairs first, after the Battle of Dandong is over, I will rush back here as soon as possible, and you and Li Heduo will discuss military affairs." ”

"Zhong Lin is going too?" Wu Datong was even more surprised.

Seeing Liu Jun nodded, Wu Datong knew that Liu Jun was going to start a big battle, otherwise Liu Jun would definitely not bring Zhong Lin.

Seeing that Wu Datong had no doubts, Liu Jun motioned for Wu Datong to get busy first and reminded him again and again that he must complete all this in the fastest time. ”

Wu Datong nodded, saying that he would successfully complete the task and congratulate Liu Jun on his victory.

Liu Jun's document is to let Wu Datong go to the iron notice, and the notice is very simple, that is, to let the people know that the 11th Brigade has surrendered. Now the arms have been laid down.

The purpose of this is twofold, one is to cheer up the people of Lushun and even all the people, and the other is to let the Japanese know.

Seeing Wu Datong walk out, Liu Jun stood up, retreated from the window to look at Lushun, which had already started spring, and took a few breaths of fresh air, Liu Jun turned around, showed a serious look and said to Zhong Lin: "Order, the ninth brigade and the eighth brigade of Wafangdian of the Third Army, and the first division of the first army." Immediately open out, go to Dandong, under the command of Li Rong, order, Li Rong's second army, immediately launch an attack on the periphery of Dandong. By the time I arrive in Dandong, I must clear the Japanese positions on the periphery. ”

Zhong Lin nodded, and was about to go out, Liu Jun thought for a moment: "Wait a minute, I'll go with you." ”

Liu Jun and Zhong Lin came to the telegraph office, not because he was afraid that Zhong Lin would not send a telegram, but because he wanted to send a telegram in his own name to Ding Ruchang in Weihai.

I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, if the Japanese army really takes the fort, then the Beiyang Naval Division will be devastated. Instead of waiting to die at the port at that time, it is better to rush out of the port and come to Lushun. Everyone can still take care of each other, at least the Japanese army will fight the water division first. When the time comes, the sailor can go up first.

On the outskirts of Lushun, Liu Jun and more than a dozen fast horses were galloping on the official road.

Zhong Linyi, who was on the move, had a question about why Liu Jun reminded Ding Ruchang in the telegram to blow up all port facilities. He didn't understand, if these were blown up, what would he use in the future, would he rebuild them, the money would be really ...... After hesitating for a moment, he caught up with Liu Jun and asked his own questions.

Liu Jun glanced at Zhong Lin. The face is gloomy.

He was also forced to do so. He knew that with the ability and greed of the Japanese army, he would inevitably not let go of Lushun and take Lushun's next goal, Liu Jun thought that it must be Lushun.

Weihai is lost, as long as the port equipment is destroyed, even if the Japanese army is powerful, then it will take more than ten days to tinker with these ten days, and he has enough time to adjust his forces to deal with the Japanese army's naval attack.

This time he definitely attacked Dandong, not to contain the Japanese army from attacking Weihai, but also to take Dandong, drink the Yalu River, and consolidate his backyard.

Don't get into a fight at the front door and get stabbed at the back door.

In this private telegram, he used a junior to plead Ding Ruchang not to act righteously, and if the Japanese army took the fort, he must blow up all Weihai port facilities and lead the whole water division to break through Lushun. Then work together to help defend Lushun.

After listening to Liu Jun's explanation, Zhong Lin unveiled a mess in his heart, and admired Liu Jun even more, every time he considered something, he was visionary and outstanding.

After looking at Zhong Lin and getting the answer, Liu Jun smiled: "Let's put down these questions for the time being, let's go to Dandong first, and after taking Dandong, we're talking about this." ”

"Okay, head." Zhong Lin smiled, twitched the horses, and more than a dozen fast horses said their real names, let go of their steps, and walked north in the early spring of Lushun.

Lushun to Dandong, Liu Jun passed through the county and Yuezhou, all of which were just a short stay, eating and resting, changing horses and not changing people, two people and more than a dozen guards. After four days of trekking, we finally arrived at the outskirts of Dandong at noon on February 22.

After getting off the horse, Liu Jun could clearly smell some of the smell of gunpowder in the air.

In the few days since Liu Jun came, Li Rong had already taken the outlying positions of the Japanese army and captured nearly 700 Japanese soldiers. Now Li Rong is directing troops on the front line to attack Dandong.

After looking at the more than 700 Japanese soldiers dressed in tatters, Liu Jun did not see Li Rong at the headquarters, and after the introduction of the staff officer, he knew that Li Rong was at the east gate.

The east gate is only less than three kilometers away from here, and it stands to reason that fierce gunfire should be heard here, but this can't hear any gunshots at all, Liu Jun felt very confused, so he called Zhong Lin, and the two were under the leadership of the personnel of the Second Army Command. Came to the forefront.

Along the way, there were traces of battles, corpses of Japanese soldiers, and trees that had been blown up. Burning trees, everywhere.

Coming to the forefront, Liu Jun met Li Rong under a tree. After scanning the surroundings, the soldiers were not affected by the arrival of the sixth level, but concentrated on crawling on the ground and inside the trenches, aiming their guns at the outside of the city.

Strange, why do you crawl in the trench and don't attack, Liu Jun was puzzled.

came to Li Rong's side, and Liu Jun patted Li Rong. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked: "Why don't you attack and wait for others to surrender?" ”

As soon as Li Rong turned around and saw that it was Liu Jun, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said excitedly: "Dashuai, you are here." ”

Liu Jun nodded and asked again, "I asked why you didn't attack?" ”

Li Rong was stunned for a moment, then picked up the binoculars, called Liu Jun under the tree, and pointed to the city wall: "Head, look at it yourself." ”

Liu Jun was very puzzled, took the binoculars, and glanced at it.

Angrily smashed the binoculars in his hand, and Liu Jun began to scold: "What a bastard, it's so despicable." ”

Zhong Lin didn't know what Liu Jun saw, and when he picked up the telescope from the ground, he was also furious in his heart.

The Japanese army actually forced the people of Dandong to the wall and around the moat outside the city, and tied them together. Moreover, under the city, there are still many corpses of ordinary people, who looked like that, they were killed by the Japanese army.

Seeing Liu Jun's anger, Li Rong said: "Dashuai, in the past few days, Shoushan and I have swept all the way through the periphery of the Japanese army. Forcing the Japanese army into Dandong, yesterday I discussed with Shoushan, he attacked the north gate and the south gate, and I attacked the west gate and the east gate.

This morning, when we were on the offensive, the Japanese suddenly forced the civilians out, and the soldiers climbed and injured the civilians by mistake, and they all stopped shooting, which caused our soldiers to lose nearly 200 people. In desperation, I had no choice but to let the troops retreat here and negotiate with the Japanese army. ”

After listening to Li Rong's story, Liu Jun's eyes erupted with anger, staring coldly at the sun flag on the Dandong city wall, and said coldly: "How is the negotiation?" ”

Li Rong shook his head: "The Japanese army asked us to evacuate Dandong and return to the original line of defense, otherwise they would shoot the people, and."

"Bah, what the hell wants to do good things, it's impossible," Liu Jun interrupted Li Rong.

Li Rong hesitated, not speaking, but looking at Liu Jun, who was standing there with a blue face.

Zhong Lin looked at the embarrassing scene between the two sides and walked over: "Head, if you don't evacuate, the Japanese army will massacre the people." ”

You think that if you use the people as a shield, Lao Tzu will retreat, Lao Tzu will give up, absolutely impossible. Liu Jun clenched his fists and bit his lip.

Closing his eyes in pain, Liu Jun stood there for a long time before he coldly gave an order that he didn't want to give in his life: "Order the troops, attack in half an hour." ”

"Head"

"Dashuai."

Zhong Lin and Li Rong knelt down. looked at Liu Jun anxiously.

"Head, that's our own people, don't we care." Zhong Lin grabbed Liu Jun's cloak and shouted in panic.

Pulled Zhong Lin's hand away, and then kicked Zhong Lin in the stomach, "." It doesn't matter. The problem can't be managed now," Liu Jun's eyes were full of anger, unmoved: he shouted loudly: "Attack in half an hour." ”
