There were only a few short lines on the telegram, but a few lines made Liu Jun angry and full of guilt.

The information was sent by the intelligence officers in Yingkou at the risk of death.

"The Japanese army captured Yingkou, and more than 10,000 people were slaughtered by the Japanese army, and the blood flowed like a river. The corpses are piling up. Job ......"

The telegram was not finished, and it is estimated that at this time, the intelligence personnel had already died, but it was this telegram that had already told Liu Junying everything that had happened.

The Japanese army took Yingkou and turned the entire Yingkou into a hell on earth.

Liu Jun didn't feel that the blood on his hands was falling to the ground drop by drop, and now his heart had been replaced by anger. ‘

Closing his eyes, Liu Jun could imagine that the smoke of the fire in the city was full of despair and helplessness, and many women and elderly people fled all over the city, but the Japanese soldiers behind laughed wildly and slashed and stabbed the bayonets and command knives in their hands at these unarmed people. The blood that flowed out became a river of blood.

I, Liu Jun, saved Lushun, but the Japanese army, who didn't want to lose his conscience, pointed the butcher's knife at Yingkou. I'm ashamed of the people of Yingkou. Liu Jun's seriousness shed hot tears. After venting, Liu Jun calmed down and asked Zhong Lin what happened.

It turned out that the information sent back by the investigators that day was not wrong, and the Sixth Division took advantage of the heavy snow on the night of 12 December to rush out of Dalian overnight and march in the direction of Yingkou.

After three days of rapid marching, the 6th Division reached the periphery of Yingkou.

The defenders of Yingkou saw that the Japanese army was coming, and the defenders actually fled from Yingkou and fled in the direction of Jinzhou when the battle was at its fiercest.

This made the Qing army, which was already not highly morale, suddenly have no backbone, and when they saw the defenders fleeing, the Qing army only resisted a little, and then gave up Yingkou and fled to Jinzhou.

Yingkou was occupied by the 6th Division on 16 December.

After occupying Yingkou, the commander of the 6th Division, Hei Mu Weizhen, faced the unarmed people at Yingkou and gave the order to slaughter.

Yingkou suddenly became a hell on earth. More than 10,000 people in the city were hungry for the bayonets and guns of the Japanese army.

After listening to Zhong Lin's narration, Liu Jun took a deep breath, suppressed his grief, and said coldly: "The Eleventh Brigade, didn't you go north, how could it appear in Yingkou." ”

Looking at Liu Jun's cold gaze, Zhong Lin knelt down, his face was full of guilt and helplessness, and he cried and pulled Liu Jun's trouser leg and said, "Head, we have been deceived, the 11th Brigade is going north, but it only advanced 100 kilometers and changed the direction, heading towards Yingkou. ”

It turned out that after the Second Battle of Lushun, Dashanyan informed the base camp of the situation, and the Japanese base camp was about to relieve Dashanyan of his position in the Second Army, but at the request of the War Department, he did not have self-confidence, but removed the orthography of the commander of the Second Army, but the pronoun, and the lieutenant general was also replaced by a major general. and issued an order, if there is no result and Lushun is taken, then Dashanyan does not have to go back to Japan, and he will directly break his stomach and pull it directly.

After receiving the telegram from the base camp, Dashanyan was also full of embarrassment, and now he knew that the Qing army in Lushun was not so easy to mess with. Moreover, Li Hongzhang has urgently transferred troops to reinforce Lushun, and now Lushun's strength has increased to nearly 30,000. With the strength of the Second Army, it was no longer possible to attack Lushun, and after several hesitations, he asked the First Army to transfer the Ninth Brigade for reinforcements.

The commander of the First Army, who was originally friendly with Dashanyan, also agreed to his request, and drew the Ninth Brigade from the army that opposed Song Qing to reinforce Dalian.

However, after the Ninth Brigade arrived in Dalian, the Japanese army's heavy grain and grass could no longer start a major war.

Now that the university is closed, the Japanese army's baggage is pressed on Pyongyang, North Korea, and the Japanese army is unable to get a refill. This gave Dashan Yan a headache.

In the end, the commander of the 1st Brigade, Nogi Nishinori, suggested that instead of attacking Lushun first, he could get a burden at Yingkou if he attacked Yingkou, and when attacking Lushun, he could attack from both sides. Let Lushun not be able to take care of each other.

This suggestion was supported by Oyama Rock.

Dashanyan immediately ordered the 6th Division to attack Yingkou, but in order to confuse the defenders of Lushun, he first let the 11th Brigade go out of the city at night. Then turn back to Yingkou.

Hmph, Liu Jun slapped his palm on the Taishi chair. Glaring angrily in the direction of Dalian. It took a while for him to spit out word by word from his mouth: "Pass my order, the first regiment of the first division, the second division, the cavalry brigade, and the first artillery regiment urgently assemble." ”

Hearing this order, Zhong Lin next to him suddenly didn't know what Liu Jun was going to do when he suddenly gathered so many troops, he asked, "Head, what are you?" ”

"Attack the camp. Annihilated the 6th Division and avenged the people of Yingkou. Liu Jun roared angrily at the sky.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Hearing Liu Jun say these words, Zhong Lin stood up, wiped away the tears in his eyes, and turned around to go to the barracks to give orders. ”

In anger, Liu Jun looked at the coffee table and the telegram next to him, he crumpled the information into a ball, and then threw it away. Turn around and kick the coffee table that was already stained with blood. With a look on his face, he turned around and went back to his room. Pick up the uniforms hanging on the hangers.

Wu Xiaoyan was embroidering there, and when she saw Liu Jun getting dressed, she stopped the embroidery in her hand and asked gently, "What's the matter, do you still go to the barracks on such a cold day?"

Liu Jun didn't speak, but continued to wear his military uniform and put on his military hat, Liu Jun looked at Wu Xiaoyan, hugged her in his arms and said softly: "I'm not in this time." You have to take care of yourself. ”

Wu Xiaoyan was startled, looked at Liu Jun tenderly and asked softly, "Are you going to fight again?" ”

Liu Jun nodded: try to show a trace of gentleness and calmness, "Yes, the Japanese Sixth Division captured Yingkou and slaughtered more than 10,000 people, and I am going to slaughter the Sixth Division." Mention them for revenge. ”

Wu Xiaoyan is a self-righteous person, she just nodded and didn't say anything. ”

Liu Jun stroked Wu Xiaoyan's waist and said, "I will transfer Li Rong to guard Lushun, he will take care of you, if you are annoyed, go to Zhang Qinyu and Zhou Li to chat." ”

"Well, you can go with confidence. I will. ”

Well, Liu Jun let go of Wu Xiaoyan and turned around to leave.

Wu Xiaoyan saw that Liu Jun's cloak was not brought, so she poured Liu Jun, took down the cloak where it was hanging, and it was cold, so she put this on. ”

The Qing army's battalion, the 1st Division, the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Division, and the 1st Artillery Regiment and Cavalry Brigade have all been assembled.

None of the officers knew what was going on. Why did the military seat gather so many troops?

There was not a single sound in the entire barracks except for the neighing of horses and the howling of the cold wind, and it was clear that this army was a well-trained unit capable of camping tents.

Luo Dacheng, the commander of the cavalry brigade, took off his military hat and brushed the snow off it. Then he put it on his head and asked Li Rong, who was wearing a military uniform next to him: "Hey, what do you say the military seat is for?" ”

"I don't know, you ask Zhong Lin, he probably knows." Li Rong smiled and said.

"Forget it, I don't ask. Here comes the military seat. Luo Dacheng looked up and saw Liu Jun at the gate of the camp and said to Li Rong.

When Li Rong heard that it was Liu Jun, he hurriedly took a look, and sure enough, Liu Jun, who was wearing a military uniform, had already dismounted and was walking here with an expressionless face. ”

"Good military seat." Several people saluted and said.

Liu Jun nodded and said lightly: "The troops are all assembled?" ”

"The report is all assembled." Li Rong said.

Liu Jun nodded: "I don't have any instructions, Yingkou was captured by the Japanese army, and the whole city was slaughtered by the Japanese army, more than 10,000 people were slaughtered by the Japanese army, and Lao Tzu is going to take revenge." ”

"What? Everyone was shocked. Then he began to scold that the Japanese army was not raised by people. ”

Liu Jun stopped everyone and said, "Li Rong, this time I will personally go out to slaughter his Sixth Division, and I will hand over the task of guarding Lushun to you." Before I came back, all important military and political affairs in Lushun were handled by you and Wu Datong. ”

"Understood." Li Rong replied loudly.

"Luo Dacheng, your cavalry is the vanguard, go out of the city first, and the rest of the troops will follow up and set off this afternoon. It is necessary to arrive at Yingkou within five days to launch an attack. ”

"Understood," Luo Dacheng, who was full of anger, replied loudly.

After arranging the task, Liu Jun reported this sad news in front of the whole army, and the whole army broke out with anger when they heard that the people of Yingkou were innocently slaughtered by the Japanese army. vowed to pay the Japanese army's blood debts and blood, and not to destroy the Sixth Division, and vowed not to Lushun.

Tianjin Li Hongzhang was handling official business in the study, and saw Yang Shixiang walking in with a gloomy face and full of anger.

Li Hongzhang put down the official document in his hand and asked slowly: "Shixiang, what's wrong?"

Yang Shixiang lowered his head, and after a while, he said, "My lord, Liu Jun telegraphed." ”

When Li Hongzhang heard that it was Lushun's telegram, he laughed and said, "Oh, what did that kid say, did he bring me any good news." ”

Yang Shixiang shook his head and said, "My lord, Liu Jun reported that Yingkou was captured by the Japanese army on December 16, and the whole city was slaughtered by the Japanese army 10,000 people. ”

"What?" Li Hongzhang suddenly dropped the pen in his hand. Then he said fiercely: "What do the defenders of Yingkou dare to eat?" ”

"Liu Jun said in the telegram that the defenders of Yingkou abandoned and fled to Jinzhou."

"I'm going to scrape him alive," Li Hongzhang was furious.

Yang Shixiang nodded and said again: "My lord, now that Liu Jun has gathered 16,000 people and sent troops to the Yingkou, he hopes that the adults can order Yiketang'a's cavalry to attack the back of the Yingkou, he wants to ...... He wants. ”

"Well, what does he want to do?" Li Hongzhang asked.

"He's going to. He's going to eat the 6th Division. Yang Shixiang took a deep breath and said.

Phew, Li Hongzhang sighed, this kid has such a big appetite, he actually wants to eat a division of the Japanese army. However, the newborn cowboy is not afraid of tigers, he thought for a while and said: "Immediately send a telegram, tell Yiktanga, and quickly let the cavalry team of Shoushan go south quickly, cooperate with Liu Jun, and attack Yingkou." ”
