"The sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps."

Seinfeld looked at the blue Bohai Sea in the northwest, and in this direction he crossed the sea 700 miles above the Shanhaiguan Pass.

The commander-in-chief is leading thousands of soldiers there, defending this world's first Xiongguan, and wants to give this country, the anti-Japanese army, to earn precious time.

The following is to use these 5 battalions of iron hooves, unite Shuifeng, Anzhou guerrillas, starting from the bank of the Yalu River, stirring up this Liaodong east wind clouds.

"Commander, where are we going, back to Shanhaiguan?"

The commander of a cavalry battalion passing by on a horse asked Qu Desheng with excitement on his face.

Pulandian continued to the north, marching along Fuzhou Avenue, about 600 is Gaizhou, and then north into 100 miles, is Yingkou, the military town of Liaodong in Bohai Bay.

"It's not Shanhaiguan, let's go back-"

Qu Desheng raised his right hand and pointed to the northeast: "Yalu River!" ”

"Report!"

Guo Zixiong, the leader of the third group of the second intelligence department, rode up the hill on horseback: "The Japanese army's telegraph line has been found, and it is still the old wire from Jinzhou to Yingkou before. ”

The telegraph line in southern Liaoning is a submarine cable laid from Yantai to connect the three cities of Lushun, Dalian and Jinzhou, and then take Fuzhou Avenue to Yingkou.

Here, the cable line of the Shanhaiguan of Jinmen is connected into a network, and continues to go up to Liaoyang, Fengtian, Changchun, and Harbin.

The other way is to go east to Andong, Gulianseong, Uiju, enter North Korea, and go directly to Anju, Pyongyang, and Seoul.

On the 700-mile mountain road from Dalian to Yingkou, the Japanese army was obviously unwilling to re-lay the cable (of course, they did not bring such a long cable line), so they reconnected the cable that had been cut before the attack on Jinzhou, so it was very easy for the action group to find it.

"Immediately strangled; From here, all the way to Pulandian, the complete destruction is carried out section by section. ”

Song Fei looked at Qu Desheng and said, "In such a short period of time, it is estimated that the telegram of the Japanese army should not have been sent yet. ”

Qu Desheng blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Along the Yalu River, and even in the entire Liaodong, the Japanese army is empty, what can they do if they are sent out?" Hehe, but with the telegraph line cut off, the raid is obviously more enjoyable. ”

"I really don't understand, Fang Dahai is in Anzhou, Xu Ru is in Shuifeng, and they can completely cut off the Japanese army's telegraph line at any time, so that several of their theaters will become independent blind people, He-the commander-in-chief just doesn't allow it?"

In a word, Lu Tiejiao still looked at He Changying unpleasantly.

Seinfeld smiled and didn't say a word, just watched a few soldiers twisting wires in the distance.

As the director of the second intelligence department, he knows some things far more than Lu Tiejiao.

This Qing-Japanese war is not a fight between two warriors who have signed a life-and-death battle in the ring, and it must be over.

Strategic threats, blackmail by force, and diplomatic co-ordination outside the battlefield were also important components of the Qing-Japanese war.

Only by keeping the Japanese cables unobstructed can this war have a certain degree of predictability, and then the upper authorities can fall accordingly and game.

This was true for the Japanese army base camp in Hiroshima.

The same is true for the top brass of the Japanese army.

To put it bluntly, if the cable line of Dashanyan had been cut off before, there would have been no way to mobilize the combined fleet of the Japanese army this time to stay obediently at the mouth of the Bohai Sea, stupidly waiting for the rabbit to wait for the unwarranted Beiyang Naval Division to return to Tianjin.

There is also the 30,000 army that is pressing towards Shanhaiguan in Yama County, if he is not equipped with the horse halter of the Hiroshima base camp, I don't know how far Naoli will be defeated by the first army of Yama Prefecture Aritomo in the near future.

In this Qing-Japanese war, the Qing Dynasty was beaten to the point that the chickens and dogs were beating and the Japanese government was short of breath, and the Japanese Meiji government was not fighting carefully, for fear that if it accidentally hit the unrestrained, it would be killed by thunder.

"The above things, there must be a reason for him, all we have to do is to fight a good battle and win the battle."

Qu Desheng threw the cigarette butt that was about to burn to his fingers on the ground, pulled the reins, and laughed in the stirrups: "Go, brothers, go to Anton!" ”

Dalian Bay, the temporary headquarters of the Second Army of the Japanese Army in Liushutun.

The war room was full of generals of the Second Army of the Japanese Army, although it was already 1:30 in the afternoon, it was already past lunch time, and there was no food in the morning, but no one felt hungry.

Or more accurately, no one dares to say that they are hungry.

The Qing army in the west had retreated to the original Tuchengzi defense line, and the imperial soldiers who had marched in the past were far away, and the fighting had temporarily subsided.

The battle report has also come out, the Imperial Army has lost 1,263 killed, 251 seriously wounded, and 1 captured.

The Qing army left more than 300 corpses on the battlefield that had not had time to be evacuated, and it is estimated that there should be at least 1,000 dead and seriously wounded.

If such a large casualty is said to be a stone in the hearts of the generals; Then Yoshida Seiichi Shaozuo, who was captured by the Qing army, was a shame that was difficult to wash away for all the officers and men of the Second Army.

"Report!"

At this time, the telegraph soldiers of the Dalian telegraph station hurriedly ran in to report: "The cable line in the direction of Jinzhou was destroyed by the Qing army, and it is impossible to communicate with the base camp. ”

This matter is taken for granted; Just as the Second Army attacked Jinzhou before, the first thing was to cut off the telegraph line from Jinzhou to Liaoyang.

"Fix it as soon as possible."

Oyama Rock casually gave the order.

In his opinion, this may not be a bad thing, at least before repairing it, he can carefully consider how to send a war report to the Hiroshima base camp.

"Or, take advantage of the buffer time of these few days to fight a decisive battle? - Come and don't be rude! ”

The anti-Japanese army on the opposite side fled all the cavalry at once, so their mobile assault force was weakened geometrically, and their second army still had nearly 700 cavalry in their hands.

What if the Second Army attacked with all its might, attacking regardless of casualties?

Thinking like this, Dashan Rock was a little ready to move.

- Because of Yoshida Seiichi's shameful capture, if the Second Army had not won another past victory, he would simply not have been able to and did not know how to send this battle report to the Hiroshima base camp.

"Since the Qing army is going to fight-"

Da Shanyan propped his hands on the conference table, his face was blue, and he glanced at every general.

All the Japanese generals sat upright with bloody faces, waiting for the commander's order to attack.

"Report!"

The captain of the 24th Brigade of the 2nd Wing of the Japanese Army, Nakamura Aizo Shaosa, ran in with a shocked face, and interrupted the solemn silence in the war room very rudely.

"Yaga, how did this idiot Yoshida teach you idiots!"

Dashan Yan finally adjusted the war atmosphere in the war room, but was interrupted by this extremely rude little Shaozuo.

Why is he not angry?

Feeling the pistol on his waist in his hand, Dashan Yan took a few breaths of cold air before he could resist the idea of shooting this bastard.

"Hey! The commander, the Qing army on the opposite side demanded the recovery of the bodies of their warriors, willing to exchange them for Yoshida Nakasa; This is a letter from the commander of the Qing army. ”

Nakamura Aizo listened to the roar of the big mountain rock in his ears, finished his words in fear, and presented a letter with trembling hands.

It is clearly written in Japanese, and His Excellency Oyama Iwa personally opened it.

"A letter from the Qing army? I want to change Yoshida Seiichi! ”

Not to mention Dashan Yan, even the generals of the Japanese Second Army who were full of people were all in disbelief, and they exchanged heads one after another.

Suddenly, the serious Japanese army war room turned into a noisy chicken and duck market, and even the senior generals of Yamachi Genji, Oji Yasumun, and Nogi Noshinori were also in an uproar.

Not to mention the commander of the 12th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Major General Hasegawa Yoshimichi, who was humiliated and happy.
