To put it mildly, if he is willing to accept it, as long as he stands at the head of the city and raises his arms, it is estimated that he and the soldiers under Lao Xu will run 'hula'.

Now the soldiers in Dongluo City eat and drink are all supplied by the anti-Japanese army, and they have never seen Liu Kun's silver one or two taels.

And more importantly, the anti-Japanese army's policy of treating the dead and disabled soldiers equally, made the soldiers under their command dare to fight with the Japanese soldiers.

"This matter, of course, is not a problem with me, but Xia Qingyun still has to go out in person to talk to him; And I'm afraid that with Liu Kunyi staring at him, the court knows that this is not a trivial problem. ”

Generally speaking, Jia Qisheng's impression of He Changying, a young man, was very good, and he decided to give him a click, so as not to go too far because this road was too smooth.

As a result, I took the wrong path from which I couldn't turn back.

"Hehe, Brother Jia, just rest assured-"

Jia Qisheng's face was silent, but he sneered in his heart,——What do I care, the key is that if this matter spreads, what will the emperor think of you?"

Sure enough, there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm!

"——Since the Beiyang Naval Division can invite a foreigner who has not been in the navy for a day to be the commander of the Naval Division, and I invite a serious foreigner army colonel to be the commander, no one has anything to say, right?"

Looking at Jia Qisheng's sluggish eyes, He Changying smiled and continued: "I will first ask a few brothers for the opinions of these brothers on this matter, and if I don't object, I will give it to the imperial court." ”

Is that okay too?

Jia Qisheng, Xu Bangdao, and Li Jingfang looked at each other, feeling that He Changying was really whimsical, and when this kind of war was imminent, he actually wanted to invite a foreigner to be the president!

"An Zhi, what you mean, is a disguise," Li Jingfang first figured out this matter, and asked in surprise, "Is it Colonel Reinhard and the five of them?" ”

Jia Qisheng, Xu Bangdao was stunned, I didn't know whether to admire or what.

"Not under the guise that Colonel Reinhard is from the Austro-Hungarian War Department, Lieutenant Colonel Bruce, Lieutenant Colonel Angus, Captain Bert and Captain Karl, from the Austro-Hungarian mountain chasseur units, I believe in their war qualities and am willing to give the army to their command."

"Then what are we doing," Xu Bangdao said with some unhappiness, "hand over the troops, can we drink tea and watch the battle on the side?" ”

"It just so happens that once there are no supplies in the besieged city, I am idle; The four of us just got together a table of mahjong. ”

Li Jingfang's words sound real, but they cleverly put forward the sensitive concept of 'four'.

It's us squatting and watching the play, you He An alone has 9,000 troops, they are all old rivers and lakes who have been in the officialdom for many years, who can you fool?

He Changying couldn't help but feel a little 'cold' in her heart.

It is said that he is interesting enough to Li Jingfang, and Jia Qisheng, these two people who looked difficult to protect themselves before, they reached out enthusiastically and pulled each other, but now when it comes to interests, they immediately change their appearance.

Don't you know that the first army of Youpeng in Shan County is about to fight in the blink of an eye and want your life?

There are a few fights!

"The three elder brothers misunderstood what I meant, the soldiers are still brought by you, and the battle is still fought by you, but the movement of troops between the battlefields is under the command of Colonel Reinhard's staff; There is also the formulation and supervision of military law, which is also done by foreigners. ”

"What about you?"

Xu Bangdao asked He Changying puzzled.

"If I can't fight, I'll tell the soldiers, battalion officers, and sentry commanders about the principles of loyalty and patriotism."

He Changying smiled, with a simple face.

"Pss

Li Jingfang listened to He Changying's words, 'I can't fight', 'Tell me about the truth of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism', and the tea in his mouth immediately sprayed.

And some mud legs, the common people who don't know a basket of big words, talk about loyalty and patriotism?

If it's not for this military salary, dogs don't come to this training army!

Haven't you heard of 'a good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail'?

Soon, in the darkness of the night, three soldiers of the anti-Japanese army sat in bamboo baskets and were pulled up the city wall by the Qing army on the pass, and then they would ride the stagecoach in the pass and rush to Yanjing overnight.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

"Whoosh, whoosh—"

Several colorful fireworks were shot out one after another by the special copper barrels of the anti-Japanese army, and they bloomed brilliantly in the high sky.

"The anti-Japanese army is setting off fireworks, isn't it the New Year?"

"Stupid, this is a test gun in advance, holding back and waiting for the New Year and the fifteenth!"

In the main city of Shanhaiguan, Huanxiling, Jiaoshan, the Qing army walked out of the barracks one after another, looking up and watching.

"It's really rich and panicked! When Prince Gong comes to Shanhaiguan, the old man will definitely participate in his extravagance! ”

Liu Kunyi's words exposed his deep and hidden thoughts.

Madian, the regimental headquarters of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army.

"What an incomprehensible country, which stood on the top of Asia and the world for thousands of years, only two hundred years later, has degenerated into a stupid tragedy!"

Yamaguchi Sotomi, Okubo Toshisada, and a group of Japanese generals looked at the fireworks that bloomed in the dark sky, and everyone was speechless.

And Yusaku Uehara is even more disdainful.

"To be honest, this fireworks are really wonderful, they hit so high and the flowers are so big; When the Shanhaiguan Pass is captured, these craftsmen must be captured and brought back to China to celebrate the emperor. ”

Okubo Toshisada said proudly.

"Long live the Emperor!"

Suddenly, a group of Japanese soldiers yelled like nerves.

The ice-covered coastline of the three cities outside the Guanwai is five miles northeast of the sea, and continues to extend two miles towards the sea.

A small fishing boat, firmly frozen in the sea.

The fishing boats were covered with wooden planks and poured a lot of water to freeze them, leaving only a small hole facing the sea.

Moreover, the entrance to this cave is usually blocked with wooden planks with condensed ice.

Even in the daytime, the distance is a slight ice stack of undulations, and even if you look closely, it is an unfortunate abandoned ship that has been completely frozen up.

This year's Bohai Bay, the climate is very cold, these days another cold snap southward, the Dalian Bay off the coast of southern Liaoning has been frozen for most of the time, and the Bohai Bay is even more frozen for thousands of miles.

In the offshore cases of Yingkou, Jinzhou Bay, and Huludao, the thickness of the ice has long exceeded one meter, extending to the sea surface for dozens of miles.

Chang Fengyu, a soldier of the reconnaissance platoon of the independent battalion, stayed in the small cabin, and saw that the time of the pocket watch was 8:40 at night with a match, so he quietly opened the hole and drilled out with a telescope.

The Japanese army's uneven blockade of Jiaoshan and the eastern slope of Changshou Mountain made it impossible for the independent battalion to get close to the three cities outside the Guanwai.

Fortunately, the anti-Japanese army had thought of a way before, and a month ago, a small fishing boat was fixed on the unfrozen sea in advance.

Then, when the thin ice on the sea surface froze here half a month ago, the necessary water camouflage was carried out.

In this way, the independent battalion had a hidden observation point to receive orders from the northern flank.

And the good thing about this observation point is that the soldiers can run all the way north on the ice without obstacles, without having to climb over the mountains like on the side of Horn Mountain.

The Japanese also set up guard posts along the coastline, but their guard did not extend to these frozen seas, which were more than six or seven miles wide.

Every night at nine o'clock or eleven o'clock, it is the time for the command to be cast.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon came in shifts for many days every three days, and the North Wing City was always silent.

Just as Chang Fengyu was shaking his teeth from the cold, thinking that it seemed that tonight was silent again, a flame suddenly rushed into the sky from the direction of the North Wing City.
