Chapter 1008 General Attack Sword Gate Preparation
"How? Is everything done? Renshou Palace, Liu Jun, who was sitting on the chair, looked at Zhong Lin in front of him, and then took the bottle of red wine from the table and asked lightly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It has been said, but right now, they have not sent a telegram to Berlin." Zhong Lin said after laughing.
Without sending any telegram, Liu Jun turned the bottle of the drink and stopped for a moment.
According to the reason, Klinder would have told Berlin the news as soon as he got the news of himself, but now, a few hours have passed, Klinder has not sent a telegram, which seems to be something wrong.
"Go check with me, what's going on? Also, tell Klinder to send two telegrams, one with a general cipher about how we bully people, and the second with top secret, telling the German side to salvage the warship. ”
"Okay."
"Why use a password twice, once is not enough?" After waiting for Zhong Lin to go out, Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, stepped forward and asked.
Seeing that Zheng Yiqian didn't understand, Liu Jun smiled and pointed to the map of Britain and said.
"The British intelligence system is actually a bit compared to ours, but their equipment is much behind. If we don't send two secret telegrams, it will be easy for the British to decipher, and then our plan will be completely ruined. ”
It turned out that this was the case, after listening to Liu Jun's explanation, Zheng Yiqian immediately understood.
In the German Legation, Klinder in the telegraph room walked around like an ant on a hot pot, and from time to time, he would stretch his head and ask the maintenance personnel crawling under the machine in front of him: "How long will it take?" ”
At the critical moment, the telegraph room of the German Legation actually hung a chain, and after Zhong Lin said that it could be salvaged immediately? After the incident, Clinder immediately asked Eiffel to send a telegram immediately, however, what Clinder did not expect was that the telegraph room was actually broken at this point.
This can make Clint slap the hearts of the telegraph room staff, it was not bad at that time, but it was bad at this time. It's not against yourself.
Therefore, all night, the worried Klinder stayed in the telegraph room, hoping to see the personnel in front of him fix it and then send the telegram.
"Your Excellency, it will take half an hour at most." The dirty maintenance worker said after sticking his head out from underneath.
It was almost all right, and Clinder breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"Uncle, Zhong Lin is here, saying that Liu Jun has a few words to bring to you."
Liu Jun's words? During this time, Liu Jun's words did not mean to harm himself. So with a nod of his head, Clinder handed over the matter to Eiffel, and he walked not far away.
"You're saying their telegraph room is broken." In the pavilion of Kunming Lake, Liu Jun asked Zhong Lin in front of him suspiciously.
"Yes, he smelled of motor oil all over his body when he met me."
Then it's not that they are going to play tricks, Liu Jun, who heard this, nodded.
Clinder, he understands, is a man who loves to hurry. He had rarely entered the telegraph room, and he couldn't stand the smell there, but this time, since he had gone, it proved that there was indeed a problem in the telegraph room.
"Okay, it's been a busy day, you can go back and rest." There was nothing to do with Zhong Lin here, so Liu Jun ordered Zhong Lin to go back and sleep well.
When Zhong Lin left, Liu Jun looked at Zheng Yiqian in front of him and said, "By the way, how has Wang Shizhen's attack been?" ”
"Yesterday's call, after the transfer of men and horses from Xiliang to leave, the positions on the eastern front have been fully occupied, and now, there are less than 30,000 people left in the Qing army, defending several key positions in Jianmen Pass." Hearing Liu Jun's question, Zheng Yiqian quickly handed the telegram in her hand to Liu Jun.
In other words, the sword gate is ready to be taken down. Liu Jun, who read the telegram, thought in his heart.
The position of the Kanto Line of Jianmen. , the huge artillery is moving forward under the pull of the horses.
"Strain." A group of soldiers rolled up their sleeves and kept pushing behind them to make heavy artillery.
These artillery pieces belong to howitzers. They were attacking the batteries on the Western Front, and now the batteries on the Western Front have been blown to ashes. They were ordered to go to the Eastern Front to support the infantry in battle.
After the Qing army's position on the Eastern Front was occupied, Wang Shizhen immediately adjusted the direction of the offensive and put the main attack that originally belonged to the Western Front on the Eastern Front.
Originally, in Wang Shizhen's view, the eastern front concentrated the main forces of the Qing army, and if it attacked from where, the losses would be very large, so he used the sound of the east to attack the west, mobilized the troops of the western front to the eastern front, and then attacked from the western front.
In fact, similar to Wang Shizhen's analysis, the attacking troops on the Eastern Front suffered stubborn resistance, and if it weren't for the airships participating in the battle later, it is estimated that the Eastern Front would not be so easy to take.
In the front headquarters of the Liaodong Army, Wang Shizhen, who had a serious face, looked at the several army commanders sitting below.
The Battle of Jianmen Pass has been fought for five days, five days. Although most of the Jianmen Pass has been taken, there are still some important strongholds that have not been taken. This made Wang Shizhen a little disappointed, the Liaodong Army has always been fighting a tailwind, but this time. I can't take the sword gate for five days. Wang Shizhen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, of course, he knew that he couldn't blame the generals below, the terrain of Jianmen Pass was too weird. It's not good to fight.
Today's pre-war meeting is not to train people, but to make final adjustments and prepare for a general attack on Jianmen Pass.
Wang Shizhen knew too well the meaning of Jianmen Pass for Liaodong. , Take the Jianmen Pass, then the road into Sichuan will be completely opened, and even if the court negotiations fail, at that time, when the fight starts, I am afraid that there will be no such grinding.
Now, he has received Liu Jun's secret telegram, when to take the Jianmen Pass here, when Baoji will agree to carry out with the imperial court.
It is not that Liaodong is afraid of the imperial court, but that the people are saved from war.
"Have the flight brigade and artillery arrived at the predetermined position?" Wang Shizhen, who turned his face, asked Zhang Qing, who was sitting next to him.
"It has reached the predetermined position, there are only howitzers, and they are still on the march." Zhang Qing knew the current situation of the various armies very well, so he said loudly.
The howitzer is already relatively heavy, just the little people of the artillery regiment, can not successfully complete the arming work, looked down and thought for a while, Wang Shizhen said: "Mobilize the army nearby to assist the howitzer, be sure to arrive at the predetermined position before eight o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes." The orderly next to him answered, then turned and walked out.
When the staff officers went out, Wang Shizhen looked at the several army commanders in front of him, and then took a breath from the teacup and said again: "Eight o'clock tomorrow." Launch a general attack. (To be continued.) )
