On the west bank of the Dagu River, the corpses are in disarray. In the aftermath of the war, groups of grizzled Manchu soldiers, escorted by Red Army soldiers, left this battlefield with tired and doubtful eyes. These Manchu soldiers from Laizhou who were not in time to rescue Pingdu City finally found their final destination here.

They obviously didn't expect this ending in front of them. No wonder, aren't a large number of Red Army troops under Laiyang City, why are so many people popping up here? In fact, what they couldn't imagine even more was that just as they left Laizhou City, just when they had the illusion of reinforcing Laiyang, they rushed for a day, but were surrounded and annihilated halfway, behind them, there was a red iron stream of only more than 1,000 people at the western foot of Daze Mountain, which drilled out like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and suddenly appeared under their old nest Laizhou City. Another surprise, another unexpected, Laizhou changed hands in the blink of an eye.

In order to cover the long-distance raid of the Red First Army and the Teaching Brigade, as soon as they entered Jiaodong, contrary to the Red First Army and the Teaching Brigade that were sneaking around, the Red Tenth Army became more and more powerful. In the battle of Pingdu Zhoucheng, the gateway of Denglai, which was launched at the same time as the siege of Jimo County, Wei Zheng fought hard and quickly, taking advantage of the psychology of the Qing army from all walks of life to protect himself, and stepped into Jiaodong.

After that, the southern front troops who captured Jimo immediately entered the city of Laiyang, the central town of Jiaodong, non-stop. Haiyang, which had just been "expanded red" by the Red First Army and the Teaching Brigade, tens of thousands of hungry people did not hesitate to leave their temporary shelters and poured into the front line of Laiyang. Laiyang became a huge decoy. Because, Laiyang can't be lost, as soon as Laiyang is lost, Jiaodong, which has been hung alone, will have no land support and maneuver.

So, after two days of siege, the Qing army in Laizhou, which had cold lips and teeth, really couldn't hold on. Wei Zheng not only mobilized and successfully ambushed this Manchu reinforcement on the west bank of the Dagu River, but also openly told all the Manchu forces still entrenched in various places with his actions, and the Red Army of the Celestial Empire was advancing in a big move this time, and no one should have any thoughts of wrongdoing.

Laizhou was lost, Laiyang was not guaranteed, and Zhaoyuan and Qixia flew to Dengzhou Denglai Qingjiao Road Yamen to urgently ask for help within a day, like snowflakes. "More than 100,000 Taiping Red Bandits marched eastward, claiming to have taken Dengzhou Mansion in 10 days", the Manchu officials in Dengzhou looked at these urgent documents for help in amazement, panicked, and couldn't help but be "annoyed". I really don't understand, aren't they shouting to fight the Russians, why are they all rushing to us?

Whether you understand it or not, it's true to quickly mobilize the army, and you can't just wait for someone to drive you into the sea and feed the fish and turtles, right? As a result, the Qing soldiers who were bombed out of Weihai by the Russians and stayed in Fushan and Muping concentrated on Penglai, the capital of Dengzhou. At the same time, various ships began to be collected along the coast, ready to be used to carry all kinds of furniture and official dependents at any time, and evacuate to Tianjin.

Under the coercion of the 2nd Red Division, the more than 100 defenders in the Wendeng camp had to come out to surrender their guns on the same night, it was another moonlit night with stars, and from time to time, a cool evening breeze blew, with a peculiar smell of the sea. On a summer day on the beachfront, it's definitely an ideal night's sleep.

However, if you look down from the sky, you will find that tonight will definitely not be a quiet night. Because, on all the roads leading to Weihaiwei and Rongcheng to the north, there are now surging streams of people with the same color as the earth. Though they were silent, even though the hooves of the horses that sat down were wrapped in a thick cloth, they lost their usual crisp steps. However, it is difficult to hide the same rhythm of thousands of troops. For the soldiers of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, which was in a hurry, this mighty rhythm was like a war song that was temporarily suffocated in their hearts and could not be sung. It is precisely because of this war song that from their dusty faces and their shining eyes, you can't see the fatigue of the long march for days, let alone imagine that they are still suffering from hunger.

The hot spring soup on the banks of the Wuzhu River gets its name from the springs that have been gushing out of the beach since the Han Dynasty. Here, the steaming spring water flows into a clear stream, which then bumps into the Wuzhu River. Even in the icy and snowy winter of the ninth winter, the gurgling spring water and steaming heat are still the same.

Not only that, but the hot spring is surrounded by mountains, cliffs, and green trees, making it a picturesque scenery. In addition, it is close to the traffic artery, if it is placed in normal times, it is "busy with traffic, no day". At dusk, it is even more "crowded with pedestrians, bustling, and a different scene".

But not anymore. Since the establishment of the Weihai Special Economic Zone, the current hot spring soup is not only a strategic place to defend Weihai Weijun Port, but also a paradise for the Tsarist soldiers.

At the foot of the cool and pleasant mountain, rows of beautiful resort-like barracks have been built, and there are many checkpoints on the east-west traffic arteries dedicated to intervening passing business travelers. During the day, "busy traffic" is hard to see, and at night, it is a place where Chinese cannot even dream of it.

The 1st Battalion of the 6th Regiment of the Weihai Garrison of Tsarist Russia has been enjoying itself comfortably here for half a year. For them, today was no different from usual, they had eaten and drunk enough, went to soak in the wonderful hot springs, and then, with a restless body, they lined up in front of the camp prostitutes, and they could never forget to ridicule each other with some of the most vulgar and boring nonsense. It wasn't until all kinds of exhaustion sent them to the dream land and began their dreams that the hot spring soup finally quieted down.

On the mountain, the lush trees that have enjoyed this scene of dirt, under the gust of evening breeze, let out a helpless whisper, as if sobbing. The rushing waters of the five rivers, carrying the debris with a foul smell stripped from the bodies of the beasts, whirlpooled one after another, let out a dull roar, and struggled desperately, as if they wanted to abandon these rotten things that had polluted them far away. In the end, all that was left was her lamentation and never-ending tears.

At one o'clock in the middle of the night, there was still a room with lights on. The battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 6th Regiment held the Russian woman he was enjoying alone with his left hand, and held a wine glass in his right hand, still chatting with his adjutant about the current situation. The big battle that took place in Wendeng City, a hundred miles away during the day, could not reach here for a while due to the advance of the 1st Red Division and the Teaching Brigade. However, there are outlaws in Wendeng, and this "rumor" is also obtained from the mouths of some people who do not know what their purpose is. There is no way to do it, the people in this land like to rumor, and the more they know, the greater their ability.

"Lord Major," said the adjutant, who did not have a wine glass in front of him, for he was a rare person in the Tsarist army who did not drink alcohol, "where do you think the rumored bandits would come from?" Could it be some of the chaotic people who were once cornered by us and finally hid in the mountains? ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." The battalion commander shook his head.

"And they?" The adjutant's mouth turned in the direction of the south, as if he did not understand, "Could it be their vanguard?" It shouldn't have come so soon, huh? ”

"On the battlefield, there is never a should and a should not." The battalion commander drank the wine from the toast fiercely.

The adjutant smiled hesitantly, and watched the camp prostitute who was scratching his head and pouring a full glass of wine for the major, "What the Lord said is, but didn't the command say that the peace talks are about to begin, and, moreover, one of them, is to ensure all the benefits that we Russians have obtained before the peace talks?" "He still admires his major. Although the major is nearly fifty years old, the major is a real soldier.

The Major took part in the Russo-Turkish War, which began in 1828 and lasted more than a year, and together with many Tsarist fighters, the Tsar not only gained access to the mouth of the Danube and its nearby islands and the eastern shore of the Black Sea, but also forced Turkey to recognize Georgia, Imeretia and Mingrelia as one of the heroes of Tsarist Russia. In the current Weihai garrison army, there are very few people who can have such outstanding military exploits as the major.

"Negotiations? If we can get what we want in negotiations, what do we tsarist soldiers do? The battalion commander shook his fat, ** upper body, and his hairy face turned red, "The two cowards of Barushka and Dasamov, apart from naïve fantasies and greed, what do they know ......" He began to vent his dissatisfaction. Yes, there are too many dissatisfactions, and after decades of birth and death, the military ranks are like a train entering the terminal, and they will never move again. Looking at those who have never been a soldier for a day, now they can raise their eyebrows and stand tall above themselves, and they are not satisfied. Looking at these scum under his hands, the rotten people who can't be lifted or supported, he even wants to cry without tears. In the past, he was not like now, he used to be proud of himself, but now, in this big dye vat, he can't change his mind.

Listening to the major's venting enough, the adjutant sighed helplessly, "The position we are in is too important, once the fight starts, we will bear the brunt." If...... If something happens, alas......"

The adjutant said, looked out the window, and the meaning was obvious, relying on those "uncles" who live outside now, can they fight? Alas, it would probably be a matter of good fortune to be able to pick up a gun and stand firm when the time comes.

The battalion commander also subconsciously stopped at the window for a moment, and there was some desolation in his voice, "The sea is a mess, but he gritted his teeth and shouted that he was not afraid of anyone." Defend the harbor, hehe, see where there is a barrier on the land. I tried my best to prepare it for others sooner or later. ”

"Well, I'm a little tired." The battalion commander turned his head and looked at the adjutant, "You have to check all the posts yourself in a while, and you can't let those scumbags play with their guns one by one." From tomorrow onwards, the whole battalion is not allowed to take off their clothes and sleep, and tell those bastard company commanders that whoever doesn't listen to me will want to kiss with death. ”

"Yes!" The adjutant stood up, "My lord, let's ask the headquarters again to replace those unprovoked masters, with them, this battalion is not good." ”

"Change?" The battalion commander grinned, laughing ten times more ugly than crying, "I don't see who can be counted as good!" ”

He looked at the glass in his hand, and with a sharp bite of his teeth, he slammed it to the ground.

"Smack!" There was a crunch. The adjutant paused in and outside the door. He shook his head when he looked back at the broken wine glass on the floor, at the Major, whose eyes were red from alcohol, and at the woman with her mouth wide open and her hands tearing at her long hair, which was not yellow or white. Because he only now understands that the crunch sound he heard was not only in the house, but also outside.

"Alas, there are guns again."

"Go and see which bastard, bastard, did it, and give him ten slaps in the face!" The battalion commander jumped to his feet and scolded.
