Chapter 171: Lushunkou (II)
The sound of gunfire and explosions echoed around the Lushunkou Naval Office, and not only were there guards with guns resisting at the gate of the office, but also at the windows and corridors of the three European Western-style buildings in the office, and some people were shooting at the street outside the window.

On the oil pavement of the horse tooth stone road in front of the Navy Office, more than a dozen corpses were lying in pools of blood, and the dense gunfire in the night sky continued to echo inside and outside the city. Inside and outside the Navy Office, hundreds of Navy officers and men in red uniforms leaned against the wall. Or lying on the ground, or according to the corner of the office, shooting at the north and south ends, and a hundred meters away, another group of naval officers and men wearing folded uniforms kept shooting back.
"Horn, Horn ......"
In the muffled sound of gunfire, several fighters approached the gate with pistols and grenades, but they were only as soon as they attacked, and with a burst of accurate and muffled gunfire, they were quickly knocked to the ground.
Crimson blood stained the gray-black horse tooth road stones, and the wounded struggled on the road, slowly losing their vitality.
At the corner of the street, Seinfeld leaned out from time to time to observe the battle situation in front of him, and the Lushunkou Naval Office was the last fortress, as long as this yamen was captured. The battle at Lushunkou is basically over, and the overall situation can be stabilized by then.
But what he didn't expect was that the marines in red uniforms guarding the public office were not like the Huai Army Army Battalion, not only did they react quickly and strictly on duty, but also after the battle began, their soldiers' marksmanship was also extremely accurate, and more importantly, the will to fight was far beyond the ordinary Huai Army Army Battalion.
"Sir, the telegraph office has been taken!"
"The Fort of Bead Reef has taken ......"
"The Tiger Tail Fort has been taken!"
In the Jixian Tea Garden on Zhongxin Street, the ringtone of the telephone kept ringing. The eyes of the officers standing at the table were fixed on the Golden Mountain Fort on the map. Unlike other forts, the Golden Fort is the core of the entire Arthur Fort. Not only is it the core of the East Coast Battery, but it is also composed of large and small main and auxiliary batteries, which are extremely well defended. And now the commandos have only taken the secondary battery, and they have met with resistance,
"Sir, the public office hasn't been taken down yet!"
As one key department after another was controlled, thinking about the few locations that were still holding on. Li Yuyang's brows furrowed, and the defense of Lushunkou was far more backward than they imagined. But in some places it is stronger, for example, the more than 100 marines in the naval office, compared with the Huai Army land division and artillery soldiers, its sergeants are also extremely well trained, and after the failure of the raid, a large group of guards poured out, and a fierce battle began.
If it weren't for the temporary transfer of a reserve team, I really don't know what this battle would have been like. There is also the Golden Mountain Fort, which will be completely defended by risk. If the battle is fought until tomorrow, the Qing army stationed in the vicinity of Dalian Bay will react. When the time came, thousands of Qing troops inside and outside the city counterattacked......
"Order all batteries to shell the Golden Mountain!"
Gritted his teeth violently, even if he smashed the Golden Mountain Fort. It is also necessary to take the mouth of Arthur and pave the way for the attack of the army.
"Sir, this ...... Those people are afraid that they may not do it! After all, they are all their own brothers. ”
"Send the silver up,"
The chief of staff's rebuttal made Li Yuyang say loudly.
"Fire a cannon for ten oceans, let's put 200,000 here! Take out tens of thousands of yuan, I still don't believe it, they don't fire! ”
Li Yuyang, who was born in the military academy and once taught in the Huai military camp, came up with the simplest method - there must be a brave man under the heavy reward.
The 200,000 yuan of silver in his mouth was transported to Lushunkou by Fuzhong in the past few days, and was used to stabilize the situation after the capture of the city.
The field of the lieutenant colonel of the old oystermouth battery was crowded with captured battery soldiers, and they opened their eyes one by one, looking at the "rebel bandits" with guns and foreign guns around them, and their eyes were full of confusion.
What's going on?
Almost everyone has a question in their heart, what is going on? Even the vast majority of them have not reacted to what is happening until now.
North Korean Legion?
Not North Koreans, huh? They speak Chinese, no. But what's going on? The team of the Don of North Korea? Since they all eat the salaries of the imperial court, why do they want to seize the fort?
Could it be that Tang Daren rebelled?
Just in everyone's doubts, they saw two boxes being carried to the fort, and Wu Peifu, who was standing on the platform, kicked over one of the boxes violently.
"...... Uproar"
The snow-bright silver dollar flashed in front of everyone's eyes like a silver fish, and the snow-bright silver dollar fell into the stage with a pang of the edge, and the crisp sound of "bang-la-la" only shocked everyone to look at the falling silver dollar dumbfounded.
"Brothers, listen well, the Golden Mountain Fort is still stubbornly resisting, and those who shoot a cannon at the Golden Mountain will be rewarded with ten yuan in the ocean!"
As soon as Wu Peifu's words fell, the captured fort soldiers in the audience all stared at the silver dollar dumbfounded, and rewarded ten oceans for one shot!
Is there such a good thing in the world?
"Brothers, don't listen to them, let's eat the salary of the court, we must be worthy of the court, worthy of the lord of the middle hall......"
Looking at the greed in the eyes of the brothers, Nie Yunlin hurriedly shouted loudly, his shouting only made everyone stunned, and at the moment when everyone was hesitating, Wu Peifu was secretly annoyed that he had not locked up Nie Yunlin, and the more he saw a fort soldier hesitating and coming out.
"Big, sir, it's really ten oceans!"
Sun Qi looked at the ocean on the ground with bright eyes, his eyes were full of greed, for him who had just lost his January military salary, there was still a family at home waiting for his salary.
"Sun Lao Liu, are you still a gentleman, is this silver taken by our masters? ……”
Seeing that someone stood up, Nie Yunlin hurriedly shouted and scolded, but to his surprise, it was him, his scolding did not stop the others from coming out, and then five or six more people walked out.
The people who were blinded by the white flowers and silver, when they came out, Wu Peifu sighed in his heart, but said politely.
"Come, each person will be rewarded with ten oceans first!"
When the ten oceans per person were distributed to the people, dozens of people walked out of front and back. As precedented. Each person received ten pieces of ocean first. No one was bad, and the fort soldiers who led the silver dollar looked at each other, only to see Sun Qiliang, who came out first, gritting his teeth fiercely.
"Isn't it just **? How about a few shots! When a soldier eats food, whose food is not eaten! ”
As he spoke, he walked towards the gun position, and everyone who led the silver seemed to have figured it out at this time, and in an instant the battery became lively, and when the gunners went to their respective gun positions, there were only dozens of Taiwanese soldiers standing there with each other looking at each other. They watched as the gunners pushed shells out of the ammunition depot.
"Whoa......
With the sound of the chain pulling of the pulley, the 240 mm heavy artillery shell was hoisted to the tail of the gun, and then pushed into the chamber, compared to the usual, the speed of the reload seemed to be a little slow, without the command of the officers, the big guy's movements always seemed to be a little bit different, but after all, this shell had to be loaded.
Among the ten forts on the coast of Lushunkou, the Golden Mountain Fort is the most fortified, and all the cannons can rotate 360 degrees and shoot in all directions. Two hours ago, when the assault team took the outer batteries. At one time, it approached the main fort of Golden Mountain, and was later discovered by the guards of the fort. A fierce battle began.
On the main battery, the battery soldiers operated the Green cannon and continued to attack the hill to strafe, while the Gong guards held rifles and kept releasing their guns, as if the bullets were inexhaustible, no matter whether there was anyone or not, the gunfire was always continuous.
"Brothers, Listen Up......"
As the guard of the east fort, Huang Shilin held a foreign knife on his hip and cheered everyone on the fort from time to time. Is there a man-made rebellion? This is a military feat that fell into the bowl!
"As long as we keep this golden mountain, it will be a great achievement when we get to the middle hall, not only will a lot of silver be indispensable, but when the time comes, the rewards of the imperial court will come down, and the brothers may all be able to seal their wives and sons......"
With this shouting, he looked down the hill again, trying to see the number of enemy troops attacking the fort, but when the gunfire of the forts in and around Lushun City came, it still made his heart tighten, credit is merit, but the problem is to save his life.
"My lord, the Tiger Tail Fort has been taken!"
The shouts of his subordinates only made Huang Shilin's heart creak, and his face instantly became ugly, but before he could react, he saw that a few red cannon flames suddenly rose on the old oyster's mouth fort, that was ...... The cannons on this fort can't bombard the arriving bandits, isn't it...... But it was only a few breaths of effort, accompanied by Zheng's sharp whistle, the cannonballs fell straight on the Golden Mountain, although the landing point was still more than ten zhang away from the fort, but with a violent explosion, Huang Shilin only felt his heart accelerate. At this time, the shells came from the surrounding batteries from time to time, although most of the shells fell on the mountain, but there were still more than a dozen shells on the battery, and the violent explosion instantly set off a storm of blood on the battery, and the smoke of gunpowder instantly filled the entire battery.
"Grandson Turtle, the other batteries are fighting us! They rebelled! ”
The battery soldiers, who were blinded by the sudden artillery attack, immediately shouted and cursed, and they threw away their rifles one after another and began to rush towards the gun position.
"My lord, I can't hold on, these five or six forts have fallen into the hands of the enemy, and we are suffering from the enemy!"
Just as the gunners were about to return fire, a friendly confidant with a face full of gunpowder smoke rushed to Huang Shilin's side through the thick gunsmoke.
"That's it, my lord, if you don't leave, you won't be in a hurry, and you'll be in a hurry while you're still ......."
The persuasion around him only made Huang Shilin's heart move, but he muttered on his lips.
"But, it's ...... Nakado-sama."
Obviously, he still had some scruples, but the cronies around him who turned pale from the shells that fell from time to time shouted.
"My lord, it's not your business to lose Lushun's mouth, it's the business of the Navy Office, and the brothers have done their best, this chaos is unstoppable, don't leave ...... again"
When the gunners on the Golden Mountain Fort fired back at the surrounding batteries under the command of Guan Zuo, suddenly a message came in the smoke of gunpowder.
"Huang Shilin, that bastard abandoned the fort and fled......"
