"Good news?" Ren Chao suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked, "Good news, where is the good news?" ”

"Jiaolong fleet, yesterday Jiaolong fleet rushed to Lushunkou, and then launched a fierce battle with the Japanese combined fleet, damaging many Japanese ships, and then the Beiyang naval division rushed out of the harbor and attacked the Japanese army, and the Japanese fleet was defeated and fled in a hurry. In this battle, three Japanese gunboats and the cruiser Kongo were sunk. Yang Jichang took the battle report, and while looking at it, he picked up the important ones and reported them to Ren Chao.

Ren Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, took it and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help laughing, "Not bad!" It's done beautifully, and it's a credit to Yu Kun. ”

"What a pity! The little devil ran too fast and sank only one old cruiser! What a pity! Ren Chao pursed his lips and said with a look of regret.

"It's a pity that the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet ran away, but the battle report said that the Jiaolong fleet is rushing in the direction of Yantai, trying to blockade Yantai Port and cut off the sea supply line of the little devils!" Yang Jichang said with a smile, "As long as the Jiaolong fleet arrives, why worry that Yantai Port will not be broken!" ”

"Haha! Lao Tzu was still prescient, and he had already ordered them to relieve Lushun from the siege, and then come to Yantai! What is this called, this is called a miracle calculation! Ren Chao said proudly. Yang Jichang and the others all smiled and nodded, and did not speak, logically speaking, at this time, as a subordinate, it should be very appropriate to pat a few words of sycophancy, but these system characters seem to be born with the function of sycophancy.

"It's called stinky shameless! Didn't you expect you to hit Yantai so quickly, and you were clever? At best, it's a mistake. As soon as Ren Chao's words fell, the elf's sneering words sounded in his mind.

Ren Chao is angry! With the continuous improvement of the level, this guy has unlocked more functions, which is a good thing, but this guy's intelligence is also improving unconsciously, and now he can think independently, basically you didn't take the initiative to find her before, she will definitely ignore you, but now it's different, from time to time she will take the initiative to jump out, give Ren Chao a big surprise, and often pour a basin of cold water on Ren Chao when he is smug.

But fortunately, Ren Chao has gradually gotten used to it, ignoring the elf's cynicism is the best way to deal with it, if you refute a sentence, she will immediately be able to top you ten sentences or eight sentences, and she can you off to death. If you ignore her, she will feel bored and will naturally shut up.

Ren Chao smiled awkwardly, coughed dryly and continued, "Inform the troops to prepare for battle, and when the Jiaolong fleet arrives, launch an attack immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

Soon the Jiaolong fleet rushed to the sea off Yantai, and then launched a fierce bombardment of Yantai Port, although the Japanese army built a large number of temporary batteries in the port, but the artillery is some mountain artillery field artillery, there is no heavy artillery at all, its main defense object is also from the land support, the little devil did not expect to be attacked from the sea at all, and to build a coastal defense battery, the arrangement of large-caliber heavy artillery is not a project that can be completed in a short time. The little devil is not like Ren Chao, he has a system in his body, and he can conjure up a heavy cannon out of thin air and arrange it directly on the turret. Therefore, for the shelling of the Jiaolong fleet, the little devil had no power to fight back.

At the same time, the Tiger Ben Army on land also launched a fierce artillery bombardment of Yantai Port, dozens of mountain artillery and field artillery of the artillery regiment were fully fired, and the firepower of the little devils was uprooted one by one with the fleet, and a large number of military materials transported by the Japanese army were piled up in Yantai Port, many of which had just been transported to the warehouse, and they were piled up in the port, including some weapons and ammunition, as well as flammable items such as clothing, and under the fierce shelling, it didn't take long for the ammunition in the port to be destroyed. The violent explosion almost destroyed most of the facilities in the harbor, and a huge fire broke out in the harbor, black smoke soared into the sky, and the flames could be seen dozens of miles away, and the little devils in the harbor suffered heavy losses.

"! It's a pity that a good port was ruined like this! Ren Chao looked at the huge pillar of smoke in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Order the troops to launch a full-scale attack immediately!" ”

After several hours of fierce fighting, the Tiger Army finally conquered Yantai Port in one fell swoop, and completely annihilated the Japanese army in the port, and the Japanese commander Major General Yamane Nobunari was blown up and killed, so far the Tiger Army successfully recovered Yantai.

After the recovery of Yantai, Ren Chao only left a small number of troops to carry out the aftermath work, and he himself led the main force of the Tiger Ben Army to Weihaiwei.

Weihaiwei is not better than Yantai, here can be said to be the birthplace of the Beiyang Naval Division, in 1888, when the Beiyang Navy was formed, for the base of Gongwei Liugong Island, the Qing Empire began to surround the north and south coastlines of Weihai Bay, and build land forts, which are on the south shore of Weihai Bay, from the Niangniang Temple in the north of today's Haibu Village from west to east, between the 1st and 2nd units of Huaneng Weihai Power Plant, the east side of Weiyang Petroleum Wharf, built Longmiaozui and Lujiaozui Fort. Both were completed in 1890. After that, the coastal defense line of the Liugong Island base was moved about 3 kilometers outward from the inside of Yuju Bay, and the larger Zhaobeizui Fort was added, which was completed by the second major review of the Navy in April 1891.

The three southern gangs face the sea and are equipped with nine large-caliber fortress guns of 15 to 28cm, but these guns are all half-orbital, with limited firing ranges and difficult to take care of their own rear roads. In this regard, the chief engineer of the Southern Gang Battery, the German Hannagan, also admitted. In order to make up for the shortcomings, 150 meters southwest of today's Baiqisuo Village, the Qing army built the Yangfengling Fort, and built the North Fort, which was in the north of the village, with 4 and 3 guns respectively to cover the back road of the three coastal defenses, and it was also completed by the third major parade of the Navy in May 1894. Shortly thereafter, the First Sino-Japanese War broke out, and under the pressure of the war, this defense system was re-examined, and the Qing army rushed to build a number of temporary batteries such as Yangfengling auxiliary fort and Motianling and Xiaolianziding, and pulled up 7.5 or 8 cm small-caliber guns.

In addition to the South Gang Fort, there is also the North Gang Fort, which is on the north shore of Wei Bay, opposite Liugong Island. In the thirteenth year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1887), it was built year by year. It is named because it is located on the north shore of Weihai Bay. A total of 5 batteries. Among them, there are 3 coastal batteries and 2 land batteries. The coastal forts are: Beishanzui Fort, with 8 guns; Huangnigou Fort, with two artillery pieces; There are 6 artillery pieces in the sacrificial fort. The land forts are: Heqingtan Fort, with two artillery pieces; The old mother topped the fort with two cannons. After the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, 6 temporary forts were built in Dongli, Cotton Mountain, Foding Mountain, Fengchaiding, Yuanyaoyong and other places. Three of the coastal batteries were also armed with 150, 210, and 240 Krupp cannons.

In addition, there are 6 forts on Liugong Island, with a total of 58 cannons of various calibers, of which there are as many as a dozen 240-mm Knoob cannons.
