Barushka's judgment on the immediate incident was partly correct, but what was incorrect was that he still underestimated the appetite of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire. He thought that the Red Army of the Celestial Empire was just trying to rely on a sneak attack on land to control Weihaiwei and cut off his land supply lines, so as to force the Tsarist Russian Navy in Weihai Port to withdraw from Jiaodong. In fact, he was wrong, the appetite of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire was far more than that.

For a whole day since the start of a large-scale war on land on 19 May, the fighting on land has not ceased for almost a moment. However, not to mention Weihaiwei, even in the waters around Rongcheng, there are no Red Navy ships, and the Red Navy fleet that was mighty north from the Haiyang Ocean seems to have lost a trace. This cannot but make the Tsarist Russia in Weihai have an illusion.

The battle of the hot spring soup was like a fuse, igniting the flames of war everywhere in an instant. First, it was the four main battlefields of Yangtingji, Fenglinji, Gushan, and Boyu from west to east, and then spread back to the line from Wang Yu and Caomiaozi to Qiaotou, with a front width of more than 100 miles and a depth of dozens of miles. In this rectangular area, the sound of guns and cannons and shouts of killing were indulged in catharsis, and a dark and dead silence of the "Weihai Special Zone" was completely awakened.

The main force of the teaching brigade led by Chen Tingxiang broke through to Fenglinji, the seat of the government of the puppet third district, and the two regiments quickly surrounded the regimental headquarters of the 6th Regiment of Tsarist Russia and its 3rd battalion, while the other regiment successively occupied the South Tiger Pass and the North Tiger Pass along the way, and continued to pounce on Gushan, the seat of the government of the puppet 4th District.

On his left flank, the main force of Lai Yuxin's 1st Red Division crossed the Shuangdao River, surrounded the 2nd Battalion of the 6th Regiment of Tsarist Russia in Yangtingji on the one hand, and began to seize important military places such as Tiger Mountain, Foding Mountain, and Xianguding on the other. At the same time, Cao Wenyu's Red Fourth Division forwards appeared at the bridgehead and Boyu. All the Tsarist Russian troops on the front line were cut into pieces, and behind them were the main forces of the Red Second Division and the Red Fourth Division, which were spread out side by side, carefully cleaning the "cats and dogs" who were left behind in front and were not in a hurry to clean up.

Contrary to the situation encountered by the special battalion in the hot spring soup, in the wind forest, the luck of the teaching brigade was not so good. The two regiments of the Teaching Brigade easily surrounded the regimental headquarters of the 6th Regiment of Tsarist Russia and the 3rd Battalion, however, when they tried to speak, they realized that they had encountered a difficult bone to gnaw.

The Tsarist Russia in the wind forest not only had a newly built earthen wall to rely on, but also a wide and deep moat outside the earthen wall, which isolated them from the Red Army of the Celestial Empire that surrounded them, forming an almost insurmountable barrier.

Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet fully come to his senses, the assault team could not wait to rush to the protective trench. The depth of the trench was beyond their expectations, and dozens of people hula went down to the bottom of the dark ditch, and many of them were injured and injured their legs. What's even more difficult is that two people set up a human ladder from the bottom of the ditch, and the one on top couldn't even touch the edge of the ditch.

The surprise attack evolved into a strong attack. But after a strong attack, Chen Tingxiang also had to give an order to suspend the attack. It can't be done like this, his brows are twisted together, and at the same time, he can't help but look in the direction of Gushan again.

The rhythm of the Red Army's attack in the Celestial Empire this time was that each link was linked to the other. The troops in front were assaulting, and the troops in the back were arranged with absolute superiority to clear several support points of Tsarist Russia, in order to have a time. His second regiment was already on its way to Gushan, and although the special battalion would have rushed there after dealing with the enemy in Hot Springs, if his main force had been delayed here for too long, the task of completely capturing the southern shore of Weihaiwei would naturally be affected by Yanzhòng. The problem is that no one can afford this impact.

"Smash me hard with a cannon, you can't slow them down!" Chen Tingxiang waved his clenched right hand viciously and ordered loudly. Then, he looked at the generals around him, and seemed to smile very easily, "Think about it, how can there be a way to cross this ditch?" ”

"There are only a dozen families in our village, and the others who can run have already run away. I have no choice, there are two sick and crooked old people in the family to take care of, so I stayed. I didn't expect that although I had suffered a lot from staying here, it would be useful at a critical time. "How many years later, in the nursing home in Weihai City, an old man who was strong and strong but now has crooked teeth, when he mentioned the night that exhilarated him when he was young, his eyes were smiling and shining, "The camp of the Tsarist ghosts is only more than a mile away from our house. I don't know when, but there were a lot of soldiers in the village, yes, they all came on horseback. Then, the guns and guns kept firing, and there were bursts of particularly sharp horns. Later, I realized that they were at war with the Tsarist ghosts. I was bold at that time, hehe, I didn't have the courage to do it at that time, I couldn't live a day. ”

I ran out of the door, first hiding in the yard, and then wandering out to watch the excitement with the other daring people in the village. In the first half of the night, the sky was fine, and the moon was bright before going to bed, but at this time, the weather was a little cloudy. The village was full of horses inside and out, and all the soldiers rushed on foot to the large camp of the Tsarist ghosts. I can't see who is here, I just think they are dressed too much...... Oh, yes, that's weird. However, I could hear the soldiers rushing to the front, 'For the sake of the Celestial Empire, advance!' The shouting, the kind of sound, anyone who hears it will bleed to the top of the head. Whatever, as long as it is our Chinese soldier and the soldier who dares to fight the ghosts of Tsarist Russia, he is a good man on Shuibo Liang Mountain. That's what I thought at the time. Look at the meaning, these soldiers have already rushed the Tsarist ghosts once or twice, but they have not rushed in. 'The trench is too deep to organize an effective attack,' I listened to the bunch of people in front of me. I know they're not very familiar with it. The Russian ghost barracks were very powerful, although they had only been built this year, but they had dug trenches more than two zhang wide around the barracks, which were higher than the two of them stacked together. Although the walls inside are not high or solid, but there are guns in everyone, you are so hard to use people to climb up, so you have to do it? ”

"As soon as I was bold, I passed, for I knew the secret of the trench. There is a trench in the northeast corner, which is only a little more than a man high, and there is no watchtower on the opposite side. By the way, I was dragged to dig this ditch in the first place. If a person goes up from there, it is easier than anywhere else to pick up the sorghum straw and put it inside. When their leader heard me, his eyes blinked, and then he beat his shoulders, so vigorously, so fiercely. He also asked me if I dared to show me the way, and he said that he personally escorted me over to ensure that the Tsarist ghost would not dare to touch a single hair of my hair. Hehe, he underestimated me, of course I dare to go, even if I go with them to kill the ghosts of Tsarist Russia, I dare to do it. ”

The army can never do without the support of the people. In the face of the deep trenches, the two regiments of the teaching brigade attacked twice in succession without success, and they were so anxious that they caught fire in their houses. Now, the opportunity has finally arrived.

Just as the old man said, Chen Tingxiang personally accompanied this fellow who should have come bravely to show the way to the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, and identified the outer trench. In the midst of yet another heavy shelling and a deafening "For the sake of the Celestial Empire, forward!" In the midst of the fierce shouts, in the fierce trumpet of the charge, the Red Army officers and men stepped on the trench filled with sorghum stalks and rushed into the barracks of Tsarist Russia, and the headquarters of the 6th Regiment of Tsarist Russia and its 3rd Battalion were broken through.

The same was true of the 1st Red Division, it was precisely because of the help of the local people that the main force of the 1st Red Division crossed the Shuangdao River in two ways and surrounded the 2nd Battalion of the 6th Regiment of Tsarist Russia in Yangtingji from behind.

"It's hard to imagine that the battle started like this." Liujin, the second lieutenant of the second battalion of the 6th Regiment of Tsarist Russia in the prisoner of war camp, was still extremely depressed when he mentioned this battle, "We were like being burned by coals of fire, and the attacking Red Army was on three sides, east, west, and north. The moat that had been dug up for months and months, but they leapt over in the blink of an eye. Sometimes it's strange that if your camp is surrounded on all sides and there is no way out, maybe you will remember, or you may unconsciously have to make a final struggle. But once there is a way out, the psychology of immediately gaining the upper hand is to run. So, the suspension bridge on the south side was lowered, and everyone ran in one direction. Running away is also like an infectious disease, no one wants to run away by themselves, they always want to go with the crowd, so there may be a sense of psychological security. ”

"When I ran out, I actually realized that it was wrong. Except for the moat to the south, there is no way out. Until now, I think, all the guys who came running here were probably the same as me, and no one knew who was beating us at that time? As for why they are beating us, then there is no need to ask, and no one will want to ask this question. Standing on the high embankment, by the light of the explosion, I could see far to the east, where a large number of troops were still wading across the river, and I could see the fire of war and the same rumbling of artillery to the east. Perhaps under the influence of the opponent's wading, the guys on the embankment began to jump into the river in front of them, and the result can be imagined, first struggling for help, and then ...... I was so strange that I had been stationed here for months, and I didn't know where the Twin Islands could wade, how did they know that? ”

The 1st Red Division and the 1st Regiment did not participate in the battle of Yangtingji, but continued to move forward. Without sufficient artillery fire and without any flank support, the three battalions quickly deployed, without any rest, and launched a fierce attack on the Russian defenders holding on to Tiger Mountain, Foding Mountain, and Xianguding at the same time.

This is the case on the battlefield now, when you are tired and your opponent is also not well prepared and properly adjusted, in such a time, decisiveness and will are the key to victory.

Due to the lack of preparation for a major war, there was only less than one battalion of Tsarist Russian troops stationed in the three natural barriers of Weihaiwei in the south of Laohushan, Foding Mountain, and Xianguding. Barushka had thought of this when he woke up, hoping that his Sixth Regiment would still have someone to withdraw from the front, at least to strengthen the defenses of the three key areas. But he didn't know at all that after he gave this order, his defensive positions on Tiger Mountain, Foding Mountain, and Xianguding had begun to waver, and his sixth regiment could not be withdrawn alone.

The 2nd Regiment of the Teaching Brigade, after a simple battle between South Tiger Pass and North Tiger Pass, eliminated a small number of Tsarist Russian alert troops and approached Gushan. Although I don't know how many opponents came, Lieutenant Colonel Bushkini, the commander of the 4th Tsarist Regiment stationed in Gushan, was prepared in advance, and most of them were destroyed in the haze, like the hapless 6th Regiment.

The Fourth Regiment undertook the task of supporting the southern part of the Wei Naval Port, and behind it were all large and small high grounds, and as long as one of them was taken by the opponent, it would not be good news for the naval warships in the military port. For this reason, according to the previous combat prevention plan, although Lieutenant Colonel Bushkini's regimental headquarters was set up in Gushan (this was only a matter of last resort for the convenience of living in peacetime), when there was a real war, once he felt that Gushan was not protected, his regimental headquarters should be quickly moved to the 100-foot cliff in the northwest. It is a small stone city built at the same time as the Weihai Acropolis, which was built at the same time as the Ming Dynasty of China to defend against the Japanese invaders. There, his second regimental headquarters had already been prepared, and there he would continue to command the defense of the south bank. Of course, there was also the regimental headquarters of the 6th Regiment in the plan, and as a last resort, retreat to Yangjiatan to protect his rear road.

At first glance, Lieutenant Colonel Bushkini felt good about the 2nd Regiment of the Teaching Brigade rushing from the west, and with the favorable terrain and pre-set defensive positions, he actually blocked the first wave of Zheng Yuyang's powerful offensive led by his troops. But he was only happy for a while, and then he realized that things were not good. For, he observed through the telescope, just south of him, a troop of men and horses galloped along the Wuzhu River.
