Chapter 101: Maintaining the Status Quo

It is impossible to say that Zhao Huaiye did not notice the actions of his subordinates in private, but what can he do? Grab it and cut off your head, don't joke about it. www.biquge.infoIsn't it clear who his own subordinates are hooking up with? Didn't he know where the uniforms and flags he bought for himself came from?

Zhao Huanye knew all this, so he turned a blind eye to the small movements of his subordinates. annoyed the group of people who called themselves the Great Song Dynasty, and made a farce of bombarding Jinzhou City, so did he run, or did he run. If he really encountered such a situation, he would be really embarrassed, and before he came, he was forced away by a group of anti-thieves. At that time, I'm afraid that Lord Zhongtang won't dare to protect him, Lafayette is famous for preferring friends to be a retainer, if he gives up Dalian Bay to the thieves, wouldn't it be the imperial party and the party that want his life?

But it's not a way to let his subordinates go on like this, Zhao Huaiye didn't know what to do for a while, and he had a faint idea in his heart to let the Japanese attack faster.

It should be said that the defensive arrangements for Dalian Bay are very perfect, and to say that the fly in the ointment is that Li Hongzhang regarded the originally well-trained garrison as a field force and dragged it to the front line of Korea. Of course, Lord Zhongtang's biggest failure was to let Zhao Run run away as the defender of Dalian Bay.

In later generations, many people wanted to whitewash this famous Zhao Ranran, saying that the heavy artillery of the Dalian Bay Fort was all against the sea, the fortifications were all semi-open-air, and the soldiers were also newly recruited, which was really unbearable, and this was a crime of non-war. The question is, did Zhao Ran run not fight at all?

In fact, all six forts in Dalian Bay were built in 1887, and the style and technology used in the fortifications were the most advanced at the time. After occupying Dalian Bay, an officer of the Japanese army once exclaimed: Give me a squadron of infantry, and I can resist a million Qing troops here. Of course, this sentence has the element of mocking the low combat effectiveness of the Qing army, but it also shows from another side that these fortifications are strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Looking at the firepower configuration, there are more than 120 artillery pieces in the six batteries in Dalian Bay, and in addition to the large-caliber Krupp coastal defense heavy artillery, there are also all kinds of cannons, field guns, and camp artillery, not just the guns facing the sea as the whitewashing party said. After occupying Dalian Bay, the Japanese captured more than 100 artillery pieces, more than 2.4 million shells, more than 600 new German rifles, more than 30 million rounds of ammunition, and even captured the unopened Grimm gun. The amount of ammunition alone is thrown across several streets, of course, just the quantity.

As for the fact that they are all recruits stationed, you don't look at Xu Bangdao's achievements, and they don't also take a group of recruits to fight in and out. If it weren't for those Japanese-style rifles stuffed by the Military Intelligence Department, and some people used pike darts and broadswords to carry guns, why didn't they become like Zhao Huaiye?

In short, this is a typical example of a bear's nest, and it is no wonder that the bear general is still hesitant when the MI puts its hand in so obviously.

"More than 30 million rounds of ammunition? Lord Zhongtang, this is a bloody investment! Nima, the director team sent us supplies twice, and we didn't have enough 10 million rounds of ammunition. Ya Zhao ran and ran in the nest with three times our bullet reserves! Xiao Fei looked at the information provided by the Military Intelligence Department and exclaimed.

"If the Japanese were allowed to occupy Dalian Bay, they wouldn't have to make much effort to transfer supplies. You see, there are horses, tents, and grain that Zhao Ran didn't have time to sell. Lu Xiangyang said.

"So, let's let a few of you masters of the executive committee quickly formulate a plan to deal with the affairs of Dalian Bay, the people of Dalian Bay are panicking, every day people come to Ma San to ask when we will go over to take over, and some people want to sell the materials and weapons in their own jurisdiction to us together with the artillery batteries for cash. Our MI can't always drag it out, we have to have a schedule to do things. Lu Xiaobei said.

The fact that Dalian Bay is rotten like this is something that the members of the Provisional Executive Committee did not expect in advance. I knew it was rotten, but I never dreamed that it would rot like this. Even Shungui was in the Yamen of the Deputy Capital, and he allowed the traversers to make waves in Jinzhou City, because he only had 500 banner soldiers in his hands, and they were all people who had been absent from the battle array for a long time, so he had to be an ostrich.

But Zhao Huaiye can manage Dalian Bay so erosively, and it really takes a lot of Xiong Jiang's talent to do it. Dalian Bay is fully manned, well-armed, and fortified, and far away from Thirty Mile Fort, which is completely out of the range of fire strikes in the Crossing Crowd. You said that you don't have a bad talent, and it's really hard to be in such a situation. Zhao Yi felt that if he was replaced, even if he tried hard, he would definitely not be able to do this to the extent of his own family.

Zhao Yi began to pinch the pencil vigorously again, and his old partner Lu Xiangyang knew that he was starting to struggle again. Isn't it just tangled, Dalian Bay is too far away from Thirty Mile Fort, and there is a section of the road that has not been repaired by the people, which is not suitable for their mechanized troops to move quickly. Zhao Yi really didn't dare to divide his troops to garrison Dalian Bay, in case he launched a ruthless attack on two fronts, and the troops that crossed the crowd would not be enough at all. The Japanese are known for their big gambling nature, who dares to guarantee that they will not launch a comprehensive tear-up in order to take Dalian Bay and cross the crowd?

"Have you ever contacted Zhao Huaiye himself?" After being silent for about five minutes, Zhao Yi suddenly held back a sentence.

"What? Who has nothing to do with this idiot, what do we have to talk about with him? Lu Xiaobei couldn't comprehend Zhao Yi's meaning for a while.

"What is there to talk about? Of course, we have to talk about it, let him maintain the status quo, if he doesn't run, things will be easy to do. Zhao Yi said.

In fact, Zhao Huaiye's military ability is stronger than Lian Shun, he is Liu Mingchuan's old department, he led the troops to suppress the Twist Army, and he is a person who knows military affairs. Otherwise, Li Hongzhang would not have handed over the strategic place of Dalian Bay to him to garrison, and he Zhao Huaiye was not the only one in the bag of Lord Zhongtang.

I don't know what medicine Zhao Huaiye has taken wrong recently, this brain-dead move has appeared again and again. This led to the fact that after only one month of appearing on the Liaodong Peninsula, his own basic plate collapsed like this. Could it be that this is also a type of butterfly effect? Zhao Yi couldn't find a reason, so he had to think like this.

"Maintain the status quo? He can't even control his subordinates, how can he maintain the status quo? Lu Xiaobei still didn't understand what Zhao Yi meant.

"We'll take care of his subordinates for him, he just sits there honestly, and the military rations don't have to be sold out, you go and talk to him, as long as he stays honest, we will give him the money." When the battle is over, he will be able to be promoted and leave his post by virtue of his contribution to defending Dalian Bay, and the future affairs of Dalian Bay have nothing to do with him. Zhao Yi said what he thought.

"Lao Zhao, this is a good idea, but I'm afraid he won't give in." Lu Xiangyang said.

"Hmph, he can't even control his own soldiers, so he can't help but obey. If you want to leave now, then you have to ask our military intelligence if you agree or not. Lu Xiaobei finally understood what Zhao Yi meant.

The Military Intelligence Department is not unable to take him Zhao Huaiye, but is just waiting for the Provisional Executive Committee to set the tone, and now that it has decided to leave Zhao Huaiye in Dalian Bay to maintain the status quo, Lu Xiaobei has a way to make him dare not run. Although he was not sure to force him to lead the troops to fight the Japanese army, he was trapped and did not let him escape, and Lu Xiaobei was full of confidence. (To be continued.) )
