Chapter 487: The Turtle in the Urn of Fuzhou City

Lin Daxin did not expect that the five field armies were so powerful, and as soon as they came back, not only the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk City and the railway bridge were taken, but even the western city opposite the railway bridge was taken, which was definitely a big surprise.

Lin Daxin turned his head to Lu Ming and said, "Did the General Staff of the Dingbei Army convey the next order to the troops in Krasnoyarsk City?" ”

War reports like those of the Dingbei Army were sent in duplicate to the Governor's Office and the General Staff of the Dingbei Army.

Lu Ming nodded and said: "Chief of General Staff Wu Peifu has ordered five field armies to transfer most of their forces to continue to advance westward along the Trans-Siberian Railway, and at the same time, Chief of General Staff Wu Peifu has also sent a copy of the order to the Governor's Palace. ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said: "Ziyu's order is very right, now after we annihilate most of the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance in Krasnoyarsk City, there are not many troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance in the vast area from Krasnoyarsk City to Novosibirsk City, we just take this opportunity to expand the results of the battle, Lu Ming, is there anything else?" ”

Lu Ming shook his head and said: "The marshal is gone, I bothered you early in the morning to report to you the news that Krasnoyarsk City has been conquered." ”

After Lin Daxin yawned, he waved his hand to Lu Ming and said, "Okay, then that's it, you go and get busy, if there is anything new in any aspect, you come to me again, I have to sleep for a while, I slept a little late last night." ”

Lu Ming immediately said: "Yes, handsome!" ”

Lin Daxin then returned to He Yue's room. He Yue, who was lying on the bed, heard the sound of the door opening and opened her eyes. He yawned and asked, "Husband, is it news from Krasnoyarsk?" ”

Lin Daxin took off the clothes on his body. While smiling, he said: "Hehe, the five field armies have captured the entire Krasnoyarsk city, so that the battle line can advance a lot to the west, and if it is done, it can occupy a lot of Russian territory." ”

He Yuejiao said in a voice: "There are fighters that are ahead of this time and space, if your Dingbei Army loses again, it will be a ghost, look at you happy." ”

Lin Daxin looked at He Yue, who had a charming face, and said with a wicked smile: "Of course I'm happy, and happiness must be made." ”

After speaking, Lin Daxin was suddenly in He Yue's screams. pounced on He Yue's body......

Outside the city of Fuzhou, Fujian Province, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered at this time, the camp stretched for several kilometers, the military headquarters of the Ninth Field Army, 2 infantry divisions and 2 infantry brigades of 135,000 people, as well as more than 300,000 troops from all walks of life of the imperial court, all gathered here, ready to attack the 100,000 army forces of Britain, France and Japan in Fuzhou City, but the camp of the Dingbei Army and the camp of the other Qing army were separated, that is, the Qing army itself. It is also according to the difference of their respective affiliations, they all built their own troops' camps, but the camps of the Qing army are next to each other.

After all, before the arrival of the Ninth Field Army of the Dingbei Army, the British, French and Japanese troops in Fuzhou City. In case of going out of the city to fight against the Qing army, these Qing army troops gathered together and were safer.

Yu Lichen, commander of the Ninth Field Army, was at his temporary headquarters at this time. The temporary commander of the new army of the imperial court, Yi Ketang'a, the commander of the new army in 7 towns, and the commanders of the troops sent to Fuzhou City from the southern provinces were all found. Discuss the attack on Fuzhou City.

Although Yu Lichen is only the commander of the field army of the Dingbei Army, according to the current prestige of the Dingbei Army. Yu Lichen didn't care about the feelings of those Qing army generals, and directly sent people to notify these Qing army generals to come to his headquarters for a combat meeting, and consciously became the one who gave orders.

And the generals of the Qing army didn't feel anything strange, even Iktanga thought that it should be so, who made the family strong!

After receiving the notice, these Qing army generals all came to the camp of the Dingbei Army and held a combat meeting.

Yu Lichen coughed, cleared his throat and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now our more than 400,000 troops are gathered outside Fuzhou City, and outside the port of Fuzhou City, there are dozens of warships of our Northeast Navy, as well as more than 14,000 people from one infantry brigade of our Ninth Field Army, and the conditions are ripe for attacking Fuzhou City. I brought you here today to discuss how we can launch an attack on Fuzhou City, General Iketanga, I don't know what your opinion is. ”

Although Yu Lichen was disdainful of the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, he still had more respect for Iktanga, a veteran of the army, so he first asked Iketanga what he thought about attacking Fuzhou City.

Iktanga's cough is still tormenting him these days, "Ahem, General Yu, the main force attacking Fuzhou City has to be your army, our other soldiers and horses are willing to obey General Yu's orders, ahem, the old man is not familiar with the combat methods of your army, so he has no opinions, cough cough, the 3rd and 4th towns of the Wuwei Army led by the old man, cough cough, the 6th town, 7th town, and 8th town of the Beiyang Army, cough cough, the 12th town and 13th town of the Dingwu Army, are willing to obey General Yu's dispatch. ”

The new army of the imperial court that came to the south also included the 9th and 10th towns of the Beiyang Army, but now these two towns and new armies have been in the mountainous areas around Daiyushan in Fujian Province to encircle and suppress the Xingzhonghui and its remnants of the Fujian Revolutionary Army, but because of the complex terrain in the mountainous areas, there has been no obvious progress yet.

As soon as Iktang's words fell, the commanders of the troops in the other southern provinces in the headquarters also agreed that Yu Lichen would lead the siege of Fuzhou City, and they all hoped that the Dingbei Army would be the main attack, after all, there were 100,000 British, French and Japanese troops in the city.

The troops of these southern provinces included more than 40,000 new troops and patrol battalions sent by Liu Kunyi, governor of Liangjiang, more than 20,000 new troops and patrol battalions sent by Zhang Zhidong, governor of Huguang, more than 20,000 new troops and patrol battalions sent by Cen Chunxuan, governor of Liangguang, and more than 20,000 new troops and patrol battalions of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces collected by Xu Yingqi, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Yu Lichen saw the attitude of many Qing generals in the headquarters, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Actually, it is very easy to capture Fuzhou City, not to mention that our Ninth Field Army has brought a lot of large-caliber artillery, which can completely suppress the firepower of the enemy army in the city." Relying solely on the large-caliber naval guns of our Northeast Navy warships, we can cover the entire city of Fuzhou. And Fuzhou City because of the previous battle. A large number of people in the city fled, and now there are not many people in our country in the city. In this way, our artillery can also fire unscrupulously, hehe, I hope that the troops of Britain, France and Japan in the urn in the city can hold up more, don't let us fire a single shot, they will surrender. ”

The generals of the Qing army in the headquarters couldn't help laughing, although the Dingbei Army is the main force this time, but it is also very cool to be able to bully the army of a powerful country like Britain, France and Japan after following the Dingbei Army.

Then Yu Lichen still arranged the attack troops to attack the city. If the British, French, and Japanese armies in the city withstood the artillery bombardment, the attacking troops would still have to carry out a strong attack, and the first wave of attack troops consisted of one brigade of the Ninth Field Army and 50,000 troops drawn from various units of the Qing army.

In a bungalow in Fuzhou City, the head of the Sixth Division, Haruno Okubo, as the temporary commander of the five Japanese army divisions in Fuzhou City, had an extremely ugly face, and the commanders of the other four divisions in this bungalow looked no better than Haruno Okubo, and the British Army commander Wright Pus and the French Army commander Vinica in the city had even worse complexions.

The commander of the British Army, Wrightpus, had the rank of brigadier general only. With just over 5,000 British Army troops in his hands, 3,500 of which were Indian servants, and the remaining 1,500 were British regular troops, Wrightpus said: "Now the army of the Dingbei Army has reached the outside of Fuzhou. With the original 300,000 Qing troops, the number of troops trapped outside the city will exceed at least 400,000, and even outside the port of Fuzhou City, a large number of warships of the Northeast Navy and a large number of transport ships have appeared. It seems that the time for the Qing Dynasty to attack the city of Fuzhou will not be too far away, maybe just today. Now the navy of our eight-nation alliance has been defeated. Our troops here in Fuzhou City are out of reinforcements, what should we do next? ”

In fact, Wrightps had something left unspoken. He asked what to do, subconsciously meaning that we can't hold Fuzhou City at all, it's better to be wiser, and surrender quickly! However, now the Japanese are in charge of the city, after all, the Japanese have 5 divisions and more than 90,000 troops in the city, whether it is surrender or resistance, the opinion of the Japanese is very important.

With the same mentality as Wrightpes, there is also the commander of the French Army, Vinica, who led a 3,000-man army drawn from the French Asian colonies of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, and Vinica's military rank is also Brigadier General, and the 3,000-strong French Army is a French regular army, and its combat effectiveness is still good. The question is who to fight, if you fight with the original Qing army outside the city, don't look at the strength of the Qing army with more than 300,000 troops, Vinica is still confident that she will fight a game, plus the Japanese Army and the British Army, it is still certain to hold Fuzhou City.

Now more than 100,000 Dingbei troops have suddenly come outside the city of Fuzhou, and dozens of warships of the Northeast Navy have also come outside the port, including many all-steel battleships, as well as many transport ships, which should be carrying Dingbei officers and soldiers who are preparing to land on the beach.

Vinica opened his mouth and said: "Now there is no need to say anything else, it's just that those warships of the Northeast Navy outside the port of Fuzhou City are like nightmares for us, and the range of the large-caliber naval guns on those warships can definitely cover the entire Fuzhou City, and the Northeast Navy can almost wipe us out by bombarding us with naval guns, this city, I don't think it can be defended at all." ”

Haruno Okubo, the commander of the Sixth Division, had not yet spoken, and Mitsuharu Tsuchiya, the commander of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army next to him, said loudly: "Our army of the Great Japanese Empire will never surrender and will fight to the last man, I believe that the famous British Army and the French Army will not choose to be cowards, right?" ”

Haruno Okubo nodded and said, "General Wrightpuses, General Vinika, our army of the Great Japanese Empire has decided to live and die with Fuzhou City and fight until the last moment, hoping that the British Army and the French Army will be together with the Army of our Great Japanese Empire to carry out this glorious battle to defend the city." ”

Okubo Haruno also felt helpless in his heart, he knew what the result of resistance would be, but Emperor Meiji in Japan personally sent him a telegram, asking him to lead the army of five divisions, carry forward the bushido spirit of the Japanese Empire, and fight until the last moment, so that the survival of the five divisions of the Japanese army in Fuzhou City has been cut off.

Wrightpus and Vinica couldn't help frowning when they heard this, this is the case, and they are still guarding a fart city! Vinika opened her mouth and was about to say something, Wrightps gently tugged at the corner of Vinika's coat and gave him a look, Vinika nodded understandingly, and then the two commanders left without saying anything more.

Haruno Okubo frowned as he watched Wrightps and Vinika leave, and then ordered Mitsuharu Tsuchiya, the commander of the 11th Division, to send troops to monitor the east gate of Fuzhou City, which was the area guarded by the British Army and the French Army. He was a little worried that the British Army and the French Army would not continue to ride the shipwreck of Fuzhou City with the Japanese.

Okubo Haruno's worries soon became a reality, and it didn't take long for Okubo Haruno to receive the news that made him shake his head, 5,000 British Army and 3,000 French Army, from the east gate they controlled, went out of the city to surrender to the Dingbei Army outside the city.

The city of Fuzhou, which was left by the Japanese, was attacked by artillery fire soon after, including the army artillery of the Ninth Field Army, as well as the large-caliber naval guns of the Northeast Navy, the Japanese also had a lot of artillery in the city, and even the British Army and the French Army also took into account the friendship of their allies and left their artillery to the Japanese, but unfortunately these artillery pieces were powerless in the face of this artillery fire, and they wanted to resist at first, but after a while, they were blown down by shells of larger caliber of the Dingbei Army and the Northeast Navy.

Even the artillery of the Qing Dynasty army joined in the fun, and followed with a heavy bombardment of the Japanese in Fuzhou City, which felt quite good for the artillery of the Qing Dynasty army.

The artillery of the Ninth Field Army, the naval guns of the Northeast Navy, and the artillery of the Qing Dynasty army bombarded for nearly one hour, causing very, very heavy casualties to the Japanese troops in the city, and then the siege troops arranged by Yu Lichen launched an attack......
