The wharf outside the east gate now looks like a big downtown with a tidal flow of people, accompanied by the rough shouts and scolding of the Russian soldiers, the calls of children and daughters, the screams, and the cries of one after another and the miserable and desperate wails of the unlucky people who were squeezed by the sea of people and then stepped on countless feet.

There are only a limited number of boats moored at the pier, but there are no fewer people who wish to get on board. Rather than who retreated in an organized manner, it is better to say that the officers and soldiers of the 1st Regiment of Tsarist Russia, who are afraid that they will lose their lives if they are one step behind, and become a group of routs, are crowded together with those foreign slaves who once fought with the Tsarist Russians and heard that the Taiping army was coming as if they had encountered a plague. Soon, the officers and men of the Marine Corps, who had fled one after another from the south of the city, also joined them.

The boats that can be seen on the shore have become the objects of contention. The Russian officers and soldiers were thinking about how to board the battleship not far in front of them as best they could and escape from the battlefield. And those poor foreign minions who are still in the dark fantasize about taking Liugong Island opposite as their only hope for survival. How could these minions not think like this, when the Liugong Island Yang Naval Base was built, didn't the foreign adults pat their chests and say with a lofty attitude, there is an iron-clad fortress guarding the Weihaiwei Special Zone, a battleship that can never be sinked.

Colonel Lyunansky's patience had long been stretched to the limit. From the few Marine Corps soldiers who found that there was a fire and fled, he felt that the time he had was running out, and if he continued to be so chaotic, he was afraid that his already incomplete team, let alone withdrawing, might soon become smoke and dust under the artillery fire of the Taiping Red Army.

"A bunch of stupid pigs, go up and throw anyone who dares to stand in our way into the sea." Lyunansky brandished his short spear and gritted his teeth and stomped his feet viciously at the guards who were close to him.

"You bastard, why haven't you put the port in order!" Surrounded by a small group of guards, Dasamov struggled to squeeze in front of Lyunansky.

"Right away, General." Lyunansky wiped the sweat from his head and casually pointed at the ship-snatchers who had begun to be kicked into the sea like dumplings.

"Hurry, it's too late, I'm afraid the city won't last long." Dasamov was frustrated, with helplessness.

Standing in the crowd of people at the pier, Lyunansky would not have been fully aware of the new situation in the city like Dasamov, who had just escaped. Now, not only the Xuanwu Gate of the Weihai Acropolis, but also the Yingxuan Gate in the west and the Desheng Gate in the south have begun to burn the same fire, and the Weihai Acropolis is like a fire city.

"Good burn!" Lai Yuxin looked at the raging fire on the three city towers, and the joy on his face could not be suppressed. Of course, he knew what kind of fire his subordinates were burning, although it was not the legendary five-flavor real fire, but to the Tsarist ghost in front of him, this was the invincible heavenly fire. If it weren't for the tens of thousands of compatriots in the Weihai Acropolis who hindered him, he could have burned the entire Weihai Acropolis and asked those "Tsarist Russian roast chickens" to be used as funeral offerings.

Most of the Tsarist Russian Marine Regiment has been annihilated, and the remnants of the men and horses have retreated around the city to the dock in the east of the city, and the three fires have burned the dense Russian artillery on the head of the city, which had been shouting frantically for nearly two days, and turned into complete mute.

An even more encouraging news came that the Red Navy's torpedo boat group had arrived on the south shore.

However, the arrival of the Red Navy also brought a trace of unhappiness to Lai Yuxin, because the army commander Tan Shaoguang passed the Red Navy's battle plan, which was to make a forced landing on the Tsarist Russian fleet in the military port.

“…… The biggest inspiration for me from the Weihai Battle is that as a land commander, it is not enough to know or be familiar with land tactics, but also to know more about other branches of the military, and at least to know some common sense in other aspects. For example, the sail warships of the foreigners, I had paid little attention to them before. The weather was unusually hot and muggy, and there was not a trace of wind, but we ignored such an important detail. ”

"The warships on the sea are not a little troublesome for us, they have counterattacked the batteries on the south bank, and we can't even move our troops south of the city in the coastal zone during the day. Later, they used intensive artillery fire to threaten our attacks on the top of the Golden Line and Tower Hill. The range of the artillery of the heavy artillery regiment in the army was actually enough to hit the Russian fleet cowering on the north shore of the military port, but we did not dare to fight for fear of startling the snake. Before the Red Navy fleet entered the war, once they decided to abandon Weihai, then we could only stare dryly. ”

“…… I didn't expect that the Tsarist fleet in the harbor was already a bunch of dead snakes, unable to move at all, if I had known, Xu Zongyang's guy would not have the glory later. A great achievement, a rare opportunity, just like this, quietly slipped away in the hands of us, who are known as the first army in the world. ”

Afterwards, Lai Yuxin showed more regret for his performance in the Battle of Weihai. A soldier wants to fight for the greatest honor, that is his duty. Therefore, during the rare years of peace before the Red Celestial Empire entered World War I, Lai Yuxin studied at the Red Army University, and as a senior army general, while studying army tactics, he insisted on learning naval knowledge in his spare time, and thus led a group of army generals.

When the first plane of the Red Celestial Empire took to the sky, he became interested in airplanes again, and finally had the honor of becoming the first commander of the Air Force of the Red Celestial Empire. Although his men did not have many eagles at first, and although his eagles were far less imposing than the iron cavalry that roamed the vast land, he was not tired of it. Because, he and his eagles can fly freely in the blue sky and white clouds, and no one is their opponent. They not only fulfilled their due obligations for the tranquility of the Celestial Empire in the First World War, but also made outstanding and indelible contributions to the maintenance of world peace in order to purify the global air environment, scrupulously and faithfully implement the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council, and strictly prohibit the production and use of aviation weapons by all countries.

It is said that in those days, there was a joke that the head of a country once sighed helplessly after drinking, I am not afraid of the United Nations, nor am I afraid of the heads of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, I am afraid that their air force commander will also get drunk that day.

However, at present, Lai Yuxin is not so "arrogant", he is very cautious. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the arrival of the Red Navy to take revenge on the Russian warships that made him sick with heavy artillery, but now he can't do it. It took a long time to get a table of banquets, but there was no food for yourself, and the mood was naturally conceivable.

"This Xu Zongyang," Lai Yuxin slapped himself hard, as if he slapped it in the face of Xu Zongyang, who he "hated bitterly", relieved and comfortable, "Damn, shrink the troops in front of you and stop fighting." ”

Looking at the somewhat inexplicable chief of staff of his division, his eyes widened, "Order, what are you doing with me?" Immediately, he took off the military hat on his head and laughed loudly, "How hard it is to siege the city, let's take it easy and force them to surrender." ”

In the great performance of the sea shelling directed by Barushka, another sound was added, which was the roar of the artillery regiment of the 1st Red Army. More than a dozen heavy artillery pieces fired rows of shells at the Weihai wharf. However, the shells did not land on the shore, but all of them hit the sea near the pier accurately, and the rows of rising waves lifted the boats in the air with all their might, and then threw them into the sea.
