Tuchengzi, the defensive position of the Qing army, Liu Junzheng, accompanied by Li Rong and the newly arrived officers of the right battalion of the Dengzhou infantry of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Brigade and the 1st Regiment, observed the entire position under construction.

Many Qing troops were running back and forth, moving down the barbed wire fence that had just been made from Lushun City and placing it in a wide place. Then wait for Liu Jun's order.

Liu Jun saw that all the things had been moved, so he came over and taught him how to place them, and the Qing army began to move. I saw a group of Qing soldiers with rifles on their backs, put the wooden stakes in their arms in one place, and the Qing soldiers behind nailed the wooden stakes to the ground, and then the Qing troops pulled up the barbed wire, wrapped it on it, and then went in another direction.

It was a real barbed wire fence, placed on the mountainside below the position, a total of three layers, each layer more than half a person high.

The artillery positions of the Qing army are also beginning to dig bunkers. The front is the most beloved conscience cannon of Lushun artillery, and now the conscienceless cannon, after the battle, Liu Junyou made more than 20 pieces, this thing is simple to make, and the power is huge. And it's easy to transport.

Unlike field artillery, it is bulky and heavy, and there is no way to move it without a dozen people.

After observing for a while, Liu Juncai came to the headquarters and sat down. Li Rong hurriedly handed over the tea in his hand and asked, "Shizuo, can that barbed wire really block the Japanese attack?" ”

Liu Jun glanced at Li Rong, he knew that it was useless to explain anything now, and when they arrived at the battlefield, they would understand the benefits of these things.

After talking about it, Liu Jun explained some things, and immediately rushed to the fort, where the barbed wire fence was also arranged.

Wang Ruifang didn't go with Liu Jun for the first time, and yesterday Liu Jun was overjoyed because of his overjoyed kiss, so Wang Ruifang blushed when he saw Liu Jun, so he also pretended to be sick and didn't inspect the position with Liu Jun.

It took several people two hours to reach the battery position.

In the distance, on the sea, Li He's Hashidate was emitting smoke and patrolling non-stop.

In order to anger the Japanese, Liu Jun did not even change the name of the warship, and directly called the Hashidate.

Today, because Liu Jun inspected the position, Li He did not patrol with the ship, but waited for Liu Jun with Zhang Yi in the fort.

Seeing Liu Jun coming, the two hurriedly rushed up, and after saluting. Take a break. Liu Jun began to inspect everything in the fort.

The fort had been strengthened and had been roughly completed in its pre-battle appearance, except that the artillery had been damaged by a third. The current shore defense artillery is not complete. What makes Liu Jun think a little more is that the current Lushun has the coordinated defense of the naval division, and there is no problem in dealing with the Japanese army at sea as long as it is used properly.

Again, the crux of the matter is on land.

Yesterday he received a telegram from Li Hongzhang, in which he did not accuse Liu Jun of appointing a naval detachment without permission, but reminded Liu Jun in the telegram that the First Brigade of the First Division of the Second Army, which was headed to attack Yingkou, had already returned to Dalian under the leadership of Brigade Commander Nogi Nishinori. The majesty of the Huai army.

And in the telegram, Li Hongzhang also mentioned that he had sent an interception force to buy time for Liu Jun to prepare.

After receiving Li Hongzhang's telegram, Liu Jun asked Cheng Lin to lead the reconnaissance detachment to Dalian that night to reconnoiter the movements of the Japanese army.

It is also for this reason that we are inspecting various positions today.

Several people boarded the No. 1 battery, and Liu Jun picked up the telescope in his hand to observe the sea.

Not far away, two torpedo boats were patrolling the open sea, and the Hashidate, which had just finished patrolling, was slowly entering the military port to recuperate.

As for the Pingyuan, because of the slow speed, it can only be berthed in the military port at present, and Lu Lixia, who is working on the workers, will try to repair it as much as possible, hoping to increase the speed.

Liu Jun didn't expect such a big guy to be so mature in Li He's hands, Liu Jun praised Li He a few words, and then began to walk off the battery and go to the army position.

The army here was originally brought by Liu Jun, and as soon as they saw Liu Jun coming, they all automatically stood up and looked at Liu Jun.

Until now, Li He didn't know what the iron bucket buried in the ground was for.

Let's say he's a cannon, but the barrel of this cannon is too big, and if it's not a cannon, why is it aimed at the beach.

Li He questioned Liu Jun for a while, wanting to know the answer, Liu Jun smiled and said: "What's the matter, I haven't seen it, this is called no conscience cannon, but it's a good thing, do you want me to let them demonstrate it for you to see."

Li He nodded in agreement. The Qing army received Liu Jun's order and immediately reloaded the conscienceless cannon. Then the lead was lit.

Boom, there was a loud bang, Li He, who was standing on the side, was almost deafened by the sound, and after the smoke passed, Li He saw a loud bang on the beach in the distance, followed by a sand wall more than ten meters high.

In order to verify that there is no conscience, Liu Jun took Li He to the beach, only to see that where the explosion just now, a huge pit appeared and smoke.

Li He opened his mouth and looked at this pit with a surprised expression, to be honest, even if Dingyuan came, he would not be able to blow up such a pit here.

After some exclamation, Li He inevitably praised Liu Jun. Ichiban,

When I came back from the fort, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still early for dinner, Wang Ruifang and Xiang'er didn't know where to run, so Liu Jun had to close the room and go to see the situation at the training ground.

The situation was beginning to be critical, and the Japanese army was not sure that they would start attacking Lushun again in a few days, and now all time was fateful. Now, it is only possible to train and consolidate positions and wait for the Japanese attack.

Before he arrived at the training ground, Liu Jun heard an earth-shattering sound coming from inside, which was the Qing army training of the New Army and the Second Brigade.

What kind of training can make such a big move, Liu Jun was bored, quickened his pace, and came to the training ground.

After a long day, it turned out that the Shandong soldiers who were assigned to the first brigade and the soldiers of the second brigade were competing.

The three battalions in Dengzhou, Liu Jundian did not send to the position, but to pay close attention to training, a few days later, these original veterans are also familiar with this training method, every time the training is over, no one disagrees with the Shandong soldiers decided to come to a game.

This attracted Liu Jun, who was also crowded in the Qing army, observing everything.

Although these Shandong soldiers are still a little not very standard, they can finally see the past, and the instructor of the training department is tearing his throat and shouting and cheering for his soldiers.

"Wang Mazi, where is your strength to eat, hurry, they want to surpass you."

"Tuesday egg, if you can't even run away from them, don't say it's a soldier of the division, shame."

After a long time, the surrounding Qing troops found that Liu Jun was also standing there, and they all stopped at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Liu Jun saw that everyone was looking at him, he walked out, came to the venue, looked at everyone and said.

"What's the matter, I don't eat people, why are you afraid of me?"

"Master, I heard them say here that you have killed more than a thousand widows, and we all think they are bragging. Master, this is really not. ”

Liu Jun smiled: "You are a soldier from Shandong." After getting the answer, Liu Jun said again: "What they said is true, you can all go to the whole city to inquire, but what they didn't tell you is that we also sacrificed more than 2,000 brothers." Pointing to the small hill in the distance, Liu Jun said again, where they were all lying, looking at Lushun. Since you've all mentioned it today, I'll take you to see them in a moment today. ”

"Medium." The Qing army cheered. ”

Now let's compete first, just now I thought of an idea, let's compete, we can't compare like this, what I want is to make a flag, whoever wins first, that flag will be placed in which training team. Once a week, whether you can keep that flag or not depends on your ability. This flag is not an ordinary flag, but a proof that you are not the best soldiers, the most powerful honor, do you want it or not. ”

"Think" Qing Jun said in unison.

In the afternoon, the Qing troops at the training ground began to assemble, and at four o'clock, the Qing troops of the Second Brigade and part of the First Brigade ran neatly outside the city under the leadership of instructors and officers. The people in the city saw that the direction of the thousands of Qing troops was the place outside the city where the fallen Qing soldiers were buried, and many people followed.

On the mountain, the neat grave mound has just been buried, and in front of each mound there is a tombstone written in wood, when the Qing army came here, many people were in the cemetery, looking at the place where their children and husbands were buried, staring blankly.

As soon as those people saw thousands of Qing troops coming here, they were not mistaken, and they stood there, not understanding what they were going to do.

Several white-haired old men recognized Liu Jun, and they came to Liu Jun's side and knelt down and said, "Lvza, I miss my child, come and see, it's really a sin for Lord Lvza to come to visit them so much." ”

Liu Jun hurriedly pulled up a few old people, looked at the tombstones all over the ground, and said: "Where do the old people say, if it weren't for me, they wouldn't have died, I came to see them, it's right." ”

"Luza, what are you talking about, if it weren't for you, our Lushun would have been occupied by the Japanese a long time ago, and I still have a son, and I also let him become a soldier. Fight the Japanese with the Ryoza . ”

Liu Jun burst into tears. Let a few Qing soldiers pull a few old men aside, and then take off their cloaks. Kneeled down.

This move shocked every Qing army and people present a general actually knelt down with the soldier they had never thought about such a thing in their hearts but now

With a bang, the personal soldiers who followed Liu Jun knelt down, followed by the Qing army in front, and then, where thousands of Qing soldiers knelt to worship these heroes who died defending Lushun.
