Looking at the Japanese combined fleet that is moving forward, looking at the speed, there is still an hour, the battle will start, take advantage of this time, Liu Jun let everyone take a good rest, this is going to be a war, who knows how many days it will take, anyway, when the first round of attacks is carried out, he will not open fire. He didn't believe that the sound of the cannon still couldn't wake up the sleeping Qing army, and when he heard the order, the defenders of the battery and the first regiment of the army all hid in bunkers together, closed their eyes and slept.

On the bridge of the Naniwa warship, the commander of the detachment, Heihachiro Togo, was raising his binoculars to look at the Qing army batteries in the distance.

The army was useless, and threw it in the face of our Imperial Japanese soldiers, saying that the advance team of 400 people was completely annihilated, with the assistance of naval guns, and asked whether the Beiyang Naval Division had left Weihai, and asked the navy to assist the army in attacking Lushun.

It turned out that after Liu Jun completely annihilated the advance team of 400 Japanese troops, a squadron that set off a day later found the corpses of 400 Japanese soldiers, and the squadron leader checked the corpses and found that many people were bleeding, which was obviously shocked to death by the naval guns. In addition, the squadron leader found quite a few huge pits. directly judged that the Dingyuan was coming.

The Japanese are also afraid that the Beiyang Naval Division is very afraid, and he doesn't want to think about it, the Beiyang Naval Division's Dingyuan naval guns have a firing range of 10 kilometers, and here it is nearly 30 kilometers away from the sea.

However, as soon as this report went, the brigade commander sitting in Dalian could not sit still. After taking a look at it with makeup, it was determined that it was the ship's gun. In this way, a telegram was sent to the Tokyo base camp, and the Japanese accused the navy of the weak blockade and allowed the Beiyang Naval Division to sail to Lushun. The Navy refused to admit such a thing. At present, the Beiyang Naval Division is staying in Weihai, where did Lushun come from?

The army has always been unaccustomed to the navy, and the navy has to take two-thirds of the annual military expenditure, so the war minister, who has never been able to raise his head in front of the navy, can be regarded as raising his head, scolding the navy minister, and even beating each other to the point of beating each other.

At the Imperial Council, the army asked the navy to send warships to assist the army in attacking Lushun, and finally Meiji made a decision and asked the navy to send warships and marines to assist in attacking the army in Lushun and take Lushun.

To this end, the Minister of the Navy, immediately after the conclusion of the Imperial Council, sent a telegram ordering the commander of the Combined Fleet, Ito Sukehiro, to send warships to assist the army in attacking Arthur.

Ito Yuheng was also very bored, the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division had always been in Weihai, where did the naval artillery bombardment come from. However, his head is too treacherous, and he will also think wildly, and when he thinks about it, he directly thinks about whether Russia and the Qing State are joining forces.

This surprise was not trivial, and after sending out a report on whether there were any Russian warships, he dispatched three cruisers, Naniwalang, Hashidate, and Itsukushima, from among the warships blockading Weihai, plus three Japanese ships full of 78 marines, with Heihachiro Togo as the commander, to assist the army in launching an attack on Lushun on the same day as the 19th.

Ito Yuhiro is calm, which does not mean that Heihachiro Togo can endure this breath. When the army dares to command the navy to assist, it is simply a shame, a shame for the navy, and even more a shame for itself.

"Chief of Staff. What do you think of the Army's report? "Seeing that the Qing army fort was still empty. Heihachiro Togo asked the chief of staff standing beside him.

"The army has always been like this, it can't take Lushun by itself, and it's afraid of taking responsibility, so it's pushed to our navy."

What kind of commander has a staff officer with a voice, Heihachiro Togo looks down on the army, and the chief of staff also looks down on the army.

"Commander Ito is also too cowardly, when did our navy let the army command assist in the attack, it is only seventeen today, do you want us to wait for them here for two days. This is absolutely not allowed, without their army, we can also take Lushun, let their army see what a navy is.

After looking at the coastal batteries again for a while, Togo Heihachiro gave a big order: "Order to spread out the battle formation, cover the Qing army batteries with fire, and then let the landing force go ashore." "I'm going to have my navy's flag planted in Lushun in one day.

Liu Jun, who was in the bunker, saw that the Japanese warships that were driving with one finger suddenly began to turn when they were about three kilometers away, and the three warships were arranged in a row and aimed at the battery.

Looking at this drumming, Liu Jun couldn't understand it, so he heard Zhang Yi say: "They want to attack"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Jun first saw a burst of white light and smoke coming from the Japanese warship, and then the whistling sound of artillery shells.

The Navy attacked ahead of schedule, and two days ahead of the Army.

Boom, run to the fall to the fort and the beach, the sound is deafening. Only then did Liu Jun see what the concept of naval guns was, not only with fierce firepower, but also with great power, and many trees were broken by the waist and lifted into the sky.

Battery No. 1 was the key target of the Japanese army, and almost all the shells on the fifth floor were fired here.

If it weren't for the strong bunker of Fort No. 1, I'm afraid that Liu Jun inside would have been buried inside, and even so, there was still a lot of dust falling from it.

The whole battery was calm, and the soldiers carried out the orders well and did not launch a counterattack against the Japanese troops. Zhang Yi was observing with a telescope, and there was a violent explosion, Zhang Yi and Liu Jun stood up at the same time, looking at the place of the explosion.

"Oops, a 150-mm gun from battery number four was destroyed. Detonated the shells that were loaded inside. Zhang Yi stomped his feet and said to Liu Jun who was standing beside him.

What can be done, don't talk about one now, even if the two 150-mm guns are destroyed, they have to be left behind, only in this way can they fight the Japanese army unprepared.

Togo Heihachiro looked at the fire caused by the explosion of the three-kilometer Qing army battery, and smiled proudly, he saw that the battery did not have any counterattack, which can only show one problem, the Qing army had already run away. All that was left was an empty fort.

"Flags, ships are firing four rounds in a salvo, and then put into the troop carriers. The ships reached the shore. Cover the landing. ”

The staff officer next to him immediately reminded: "Commander, if the Qing army battery suddenly counterattacks at that time, we will?" ”

"Rest assured, they have lost the courage to fight, you see, we have been shelling for half an hour and they still have not fought back. The coastal artillery has long gone. ”

When the chief of staff heard Dongxiang like this, he didn't say anything, but only went to wave the flag.

The four-round artillery salvo ended. Naniwa on the right distanced itself from Itsukushima and Hashidate, and put it into the troop carrier that was waiting outside.

Liu Jun, who was in the bunker, saw the Japanese army's attempt at once, and his effect was achieved, and the Japanese army was really fooled and was protecting the troop transport ship to the coast.

"Order, except for the army, all personnel immediately enter the gun emplacements to pay attention to concealment, and not show their heads, so that the Japanese can see."

"Understood, Zhang Yi got the order. Start conveying: Enter the gun emplacement, prepare for battle.

The artillerymen who were hiding in the bunker all stood in their positions as fast as they could, adjusting the latest gun emplacements.

After Zhang Yi conveyed the order, he immediately returned to the No. 1 battery, and after taking a look, he issued a series of orders: "Target, wave speed." ”

The muzzles of a dozen guns in the No. 1 battery were slowly turning, and they began to aim at the wave speed, which was turning around and starting to advance.

If Heihachiro Togo had taken a slight look at the fort at this time, he would have observed the slowly moving artillery of the fort, but he had already been carried away by victory.

"Direction four zero, distance two thousand five." The data is still being sent out accurately by Zhang Yi.

Liu Jun didn't understand these things, he was also happy to be idle, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat there, watching the artillerymen who were busy with their lives according to Zhang Yi's orders.

The 1st Army Regiment can only watch the excitement now, after all, the Japanese landing force will not come up, and they will not be useful.

The muzzle of the cannon turned, making a creaking sound. The Yellow Dragon Banner next to it was being blown by the wind.

The Japanese ships were still arriving, and finally, from the troop carriers, the boats began to be lowered, and the Japanese landing force began.

Zhang Yi saw that the Japanese army put down the boat, and the loaded Japanese army began to look here and slide, he glanced at Liu Jun next to him: "Brigade seat, when will the cannon be fired." ”

What Liu Jun wanted was at this time, the troop carrier was unloading the Japanese army, and at this time, there was no way to go, and there was nowhere to run.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Jun nodded: "Let's start." ”

Zhang Yi nodded and walked out: "Prepare all the cannons"

"Ready."

"Put"

With a roar, the heavy artillery of Fort No. 1 let out an earth-shattering roar. This cannon sound not only frightened Liu Jun. It was even more pale to frighten Togo Heihachiro on the waves.

What Liu Jun didn't expect was that the sound of the shore defense cannon was so loud that he leaned next to him and was almost stunned to death.

What's even more terrifying is not Liu Jun, but Heihachiro Togo.

Heihachiro Togo, who was on the bridge, was watching the navy lead the battle team sliding the ship on the surface of the sea, when suddenly there was a loud noise. All of a sudden, Togo Heihachiro was frightened and turned pale.

He could hear it, the sound was coming from the battery, and it wasn't the sound of an explosion, but ...... But...... The sound of shore defense artillery firing.

He was tricked, and Togo Heihachiro never dreamed that he was actually tricked by the defenders of the fort. And it's too much. Played himself to a dead end.

Now there is not much pressure in the boiler, and even if the amount of coal is increased immediately, it will have to wait at least ten minutes. In ten minutes, anything can happen.

Not only the No. 1 battery, but the rest of the batteries also began to let out an earth-shattering roar.

Shells rained down on the Japanese warships.
