Southern Liaoning, Jinda Defense District. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the darkness of the night, the anti-Japanese army began to withdraw nearly one-third of the Japanese artillery on the Taishan position.

From the Dalian Bay Military Depot, to Nanguanling, and then to Port Arthur, torches were lit along the way, and at the suggestion of Wang Shizhenhai, the post road opened night transportation, striving to transport more military materials to Lushun.

Of the 12,000 troops in Port Arthur, in addition to Jiang Guidi's 2,000 soldiers, the rest of the departments drew nearly 7,000 troops to make extra money.

And the people who gathered in Lushun City and the surrounding areas to Lushun City were 16,700 people who participated in the transportation.

On the winding post road from Dalian Bay to Lushun City for more than 70 miles, the post is full of large and small sleds running back and forth.

Horses, mules, donkeys, dogs, manpower, buffaloes, all of them can go forward with great energy.

There are temporary resting places along the way, as well as egg soup, ginger soup, and pickles, so you can eat and drink freely with your stomach.

After receiving the arms at the Dalian Bay Arsenal, the clerks in charge would write a note indicating the quantity and type of arms, stamped with a red seal.

Sent to Lushun, a few taels of snowflake silver arrived.

This simple trip can cover the price of a month or two of busy work in the mountains on weekdays, how can it not make people crazy?

"Hireqing, how about it, how much can I expect to be transported?"

Li Yuanhong, who was deployed to assist Wang Shizhen, looked at the fire dragon in the night and smashed his mouth: "As long as you can keep Lushun, in this Lushun city, every family can eat meat and white rice this year." ”

"All the bullets have been removed, and there are only shells left; Super-caliber naval shells, as well as all flowering shells, were blasted; But at this point, there should be at least six or seven hundred thousand shells that will not have time to be transported. ”

Wang Shizhen looked pity.

"Yes, at least half of it was transported; The key thing is that our guns and bullets are absolutely enough, and if we blow up the imperial court and rebuild it, it's a matter of silver anyway. ”

Li Yuanhong said with a look of indifference.

"You said lightly, these shells are the blood and sweat of the people."

Wang Shizhen said a word, and he didn't want to talk about these sensitive and taboo topics anymore.

He had the opportunity to read the book "The Scream" these days, and then made some deeper associations, which made a big difference in his perception of things.

However, this change made Wang Shizhen tremble with fear, so he didn't dare to think about it further.

"The hard-earned money of the people? Hum! ”

Li Yuanhong snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Overhead, the starry sky is brilliant, noble and cold.

On November 12, the Japanese Combined Fleet continued to clean up the Dalian Bay Fort, but the fort defense adopted the method of hiding with artillery coming and stopping us, and the casualties were greatly reduced.

At about 4 p.m., the remaining four batteries were completely destroyed, and the anti-Japanese coalition stopped shelling.

At the same time, all the cavalry units of the anti-Japanese army began to quietly withdraw from the Jinzhou defense line and move towards Nanguanling and Yingchengzi.

Field hospitals also began transporting the wounded to Port Arthur.

In the early morning of November 13, Li Jingfang arrived at Chengyingzi Wharf, thinking about Li Hongzhang's heart and mind the Beiyang Naval Division, and immediately went straight to Port Arthur.

Seeing that the Japanese combined fleet had perfectly defeated the Qing battery, the minesweepers began to hit and clear the mines in the area of Monk Island and Xiaotuozi Bay.

On the Monk Island Peninsula and the Laolong Island Peninsula, the anti-Japanese coalition forces that had not yet withdrawn, after destroying all the heavy artillery, stood on the broken fort, looked at the Japanese ships in the bay, and thought of the dead comrades, they couldn't help but burst into tears and cursed.

At 3 p.m., the cruiser Amagi entered the sea area 4,500 meters away from the middle battery of Monk Island and conducted a test firing.

The ship's two Haqikaisi 47mm rapid-fire guns bombarded the Monk Island Middle Battery, which was full of soldiers, at a rate of 3 seconds.

Immediately, all the anti-Japanese coalition forces withdrew from Monk Island and Laolong Island.

Seeing that the island was empty, the Japanese army knew that the Qing army had been defeated, shouted long live, and began to clear the mines in Xiaotuozi Bay with all their might.

Tomorrow, the ship group will bombard the city of Jinzhou.

Soon, night began to fall, and the snow-covered land shining on the mountains and rivers was extremely poignant.

The entire mansions, barracks, and warehouses in Dalian Bay are brightly lit, and all departments are doing the final cleanup.

Tomorrow, all the shells will be blown up, all the coal will be ignited, and all the barracks, mansions, everything that can be burned will be burned.

At this time, the Jinzhou defense line of the anti-Japanese army also completed the final evacuation in the dark night.

First, the artillery at the head of the city and the Chenjiatun Heights were pulled away by mules and horses, and then the garrisons in Jinzhou City began to withdraw in batches.

Then there is the Lin Yunyu Department of Fuzhou Avenue.

Time passed in a tense way, and it was about nine o'clock in the evening.

At this time, in the distance to the east of Jinzhou City, a fire dragon gradually appeared, getting closer and closer, and the torches behind the fire dragon were still endless, seemingly endless.

"The headquarters of the Japanese Second Army and the 12th Brigade are here."

He Changying, Shen Zhaoao, and Xu Bangdao stood at the east gate of Jinzhou City, looking at the fire dragon in the distance, with a solemn face.

"How many people are there?"

Xu Bangdao looked at the endless fire dragon in shock, his mouth full of bitterness.

"According to the prisoner's confession, the Second Army has put about 25,000 troops in Huayuankou this time, and the First Division of the Mountain Genji still has about 13,000 troops, and there should be 10,000 troops coming over this time."

Shen Zhaoao said in a deep voice: "An iron fist with a military strength of 230,000 troops, the battle below will be extremely difficult to fight. ”

"Let Wu Weiyang and Li Bohu discard all useless things, speed up the evacuation, and the guard regiment will establish a temporary blocking line in Jijiatun just in case."

Seeing that the Second Army actually marched overnight at this time, He Changying seemed to have seen Dashanyan showing his determination.

The deputy captain of the engineering brigade responsible for destroying Jinzhou City, Lieutenant Bao Tiankai of the Armed Forces Academy, asked He Changying for an order: "Commander-in-chief, did Jinzhou City set fire to it in advance tonight?" ”

"Actually, we can try to make a bureau for this."

Shen Zhaoao saw He Changying looking at him puzzled, and said with a smirk: "Give Dashanyan a little surprise." ”

East of Jinzhou City, Wenjiajiao, Headquarters of the First Division of the Japanese Army.

In the near night, the mountain Genji received that the military headquarters would arrive overnight tonight, and he hurriedly ordered the staff officers to command the engineers, cavalry, and infantry to open up camps for the military headquarters.

In this night of minus eight or nine degrees, these soldiers screamed and howled to shovel snow and cut wood, and in just a few days, this heavy snow, more than two layers of soldiers were frostbitten.

Itchy feet and swollen hands, the more you scratch it, the more itchy it gets.

And Yamachi Genji and a group of generals sat in a warm room, waiting for the arrival of the general Oyamaiwa.

While trying to guess, why is Dalian Bay so quiet today, and the artillery fire has stopped for a whole day?

"Hooray, hooray—"

At this time, the generals in the house heard the cheers outside, and they couldn't help but stand up one after another, and pushed the door out of the courtyard.

I saw a long fire dragon, appearing in the night in the east, shining with starlight in the sky, it was so magnificent!

At this moment, Motoharu Yamachi, Nishikanjiro, Oji Yasumi,——

All the Japanese generals couldn't help but burst into tears.

In this land,

This ancient civilization with a radius of thousands of miles,

And the 400 million people of the Qing Dynasty,

All are destined to be struck to the ground by the iron fist of the Empire, enslaved, tamed, and trampled by the Empire.

The Empire will use this as a starting point to dominate Asia and challenge the Western world!

Realize the great ideal of the empire.

Yamachi Genji couldn't help but shout: "History will remember us eventually, our immortal exploits will be sung from generation to generation, long live the empire!" ”

"Long live the Empire, long live the Empire!"

Suddenly, the Japanese soldiers of the 1st Division, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, roared desperately.
