Chapter 321: Your Life Is Your Life

In the command post of the No. 2 battery, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang turned a deaf ear to the earth-shattering explosions outside.

Now he no longer has much hope of holding the Fuzhou Fort.

If you go to the surface of the confrontation sea, you can still have eight points of certainty, but now, the No. 3 battery has been occupied by the rebels of the Fuzhou Ship Administration Bureau, and this is not counting, the No. 3 battery is more than 30 meters higher than the No. 2, facing this condescending shelling. He really didn't know how much longer he could hold out.

"My lord, Beijing is in an emergency." One of the guards rushed in under artillery fire.

Beijing telegraph, Xu Ying, who grabbed the straw, grabbed the telegram.

Be sure to defend the Fuzhou Fort, and those who violate the order will destroy the nine clans. Wait for the Third Town to come to the rescue.

Syllable...... The Governor clumped the telegram in his hand and threw it to the ground in resentment.

Defend it, and keep it yourself. The No. 2 battery is in danger, and it does not transfer troops from Liangjiang, but waits for the third town in Baoding, waiting for you to come, Fuzhou has already fallen into the hands of Liu Jun.

"Zhang Zhidong, you can't die well." The governor knew that it was definitely Zhang Zhidong who let him defend the Fuzhou Fort and wait for reinforcements to come.

Hate to hate. The governor knew that there was no way out now, but to fight with Liu Jun.

"Order, No. 2 battery continues to attack the sea, and the rest of the batteries immediately turn their guns and attack No. 3 battery."

"In the order, the left and right battalions, and the front battalion immediately launched an attack on the No. 3 battery, took the No. 3 battery, and each of them was rewarded with one hundred taels of silver."

The order was given quickly, perhaps because of the charm of money, and the Qing army suddenly cheered up and began to turn the battery.

With a loud bang, a mushroom cloud suddenly rose from the No. 2 battery.

On the bridge of the Qiaoli, Liu Jun and the others, who were still scolding at the No. 2 battery, were frightened by the big mushrooms that rose into the sky, and the ships also stopped shelling instantly, probably thinking about how the same battery as Xiaoqiang could explode.

"It's Battery Three." Zhong Lin was the first to react, and suddenly pointed his finger at the No. 3 battery.

Listening to Zhong Linyi's words, Liu Jun hurriedly raised the telescope in his hand, and sure enough, white smoke was coming out of the No. 3 battery, which was generated when the artillery was fired, but after the artillery was fired, it did not fall into the sea, but the No. 2 battery.

"Concentrate your fire, reach the shore and attack Battery No. 2."

Liu Jun could see that the current No. 3 fort must have been occupied by the people of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau.

The opportunity is rare, while the No. 3 battery is suppressing the No. 2 battery, and he should use all his strength to take the No. 2 battery.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, and ......a sea of shells were overwhelmingly fired towards the No. 2 battery.

In the headquarters of Battery No. 2, the Governor looked at the mushroom cloud that had not disappeared, his eyes widened, and he didn't say a word.

Just now, the shells fired from the No. 3 battery actually hit the ammunition depot by magic, and immediately caused an explosion, the flames produced by the explosion were as high as more than ten meters, and five artillery pieces on the battery were destroyed, and what is more serious is that among them, there were only two 200-mm guns, one was destroyed shortly after the start of the war, and this one also disappeared cleanly this time.

When it was over, the Governor closed his eyes bitterly.

"My lord, what now?" Liu Rong stammered when he spoke, the scene just now was too scary.

What to do? , what else can I do, escape, it will take a long time for the court to be executed, it is better than dying here now and there will be no ashes left.

"The Beiyang Naval Division shoots at close range." Before he could reply, the deputy general outside ran in with a disgraced face holding his waist knife.

"Resist me, and I will immediately return to the Governor's Mansion to transfer troops. Attack together. Be sure not to let the Liaodong Army go ashore. After the governor finished speaking, he was shocked and ran in the direction of Fuzhou under the protection of the guards.

Looking at the Governor who had already gotten off the fort, Liu Rong's eyes widened and he looked at the adjutant general who was standing in a daze not far away: "Your Excellency...... This? ”

"Bah, ******, I usually talk about how to face the enemy, but now I turn around and run, damn it, your life is life, and Lao Tzu is not life." The adjutant general looked at Xu Ying who was far away, and suddenly scolded angrily.

With the sound of a bell, the lieutenant threw down the knife in his hand.

This morale collapsed, and the Qing army, which had been struggling to support the fort, was originally facing the attack of the Liaodong Army, and had long planned to escape in his heart, but it was only because of the presence of the Governor's Mansion that they persisted.

As soon as the governor ran, it immediately caused a chain reaction. The defenders of the Fuzhou Fort, who were still violently attacking the Beiyang Naval Division on the sea just now, gradually dropped their cannons, turned around and ran towards Fuzhou.

"Head, the battery resistance has decreased." Listen to the weakening of the fire of the Fuzhou battery. Zhong Lin tore open his throat and yelled.

With a good opportunity, Liu Jun slapped his palm, turned his head, and looked at Li He beside him: "Lao Li, attack with all your strength, and cover the landing of the army in half an hour." Take the battery. ”

Boom, boom, the three armored cruisers began to carpet bombard the Fuzhou Battery, and the No. 3 Battery also began to assist the Navy in attacking the defenders of the Fuzhou Battery, which were still resisting. The combined attack of the naval division and the battery, the Qing troops who were still resisting were suddenly blown up and their bones flew around, and some Qing troops who were still willing to resist could not withstand such a blow, so they abandoned the shore defense artillery and ran away.

Everything about the fort was clearly seen by Liu Jun, who was a few nautical miles away, and the Qing army of the Fuzhou Fort retreated, but the No. 3 Fort is now in a huge crisis.

In the telescope, thousands of Qing troops were fiercely attacking the No. 3 battery.

It turned out that Xu Yingqi had already ordered the front battalion and the left and right battalions of the Eighth Banner Army to attack the No. 3 battery, and when Xu Yingqi and the defenders of the fort were evacuating, the Qing troops of these two battalions did not receive any notice at all. So now more than 2,000 people, like crazy, are rushing towards the No. 3 battery.

Liu Jun frowned, he knew that the No. 3 fort had less than 2,000 people at the top of the sky, and it would be difficult to use 2,000 people to resist the Qing army besieging from all directions.

"Let the Ruojing Yinsen continue to attack the battery, and the Hashidate immediately bombarded the Qing army to support the No. 3 battery." Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Liu Jun calmly gave an order.

The location of the No. 3 battery is directly in front of the Hashidate. And to achieve the strongest firepower, the Hashidate has to fight horizontally.

After the order was given, the Wakajing and the Yoshimori immediately moved forward to make way for the Hashidate.

Ten minutes later, the Hashidate suddenly swung the huge hull sideways, and suddenly, more than a dozen artillery pieces immediately launched an artillery bombardment on the Qing army that had already rushed to the top of the mountain.

On the No. 3 battery, Xiao Tian held down his injured arm with his hand, gritted his teeth and calmly commanded the two battalions of the second regiment of the Liaodong Guard Army and the 300 workers of the Fuzhou Ship Administration Bureau who volunteered to go to the fort, and were relying on the favorable terrain above on the top of the mountain to attack the attacking Qing army.

After the Flying Eagle was sunk, Pei Yinsen and Xiao Tian, who knew the news, were anxious, if the sailors could not pull out the fort, then the army would not be able to come up, and the No. 2 dock would be more dangerous.

And they also found that the No. 2 battery was the place where the resistance was the fiercest and the most firepower, and if they wanted to help the sailors, they could only take the No. 3 and turn the muzzle to the No. 2 battery to bombard the No. 2 battery to support the sailors.

After deliberation, Xiao Tian led two battalions and 300 workers who volunteered to go with him to spit out from the weakest west, and then attacked No. 3, while the remaining battalion guarded the No. 2 dock.

After protruding from the west, I thought that when I entered the No. 3 battery, I would be subjected to a fierce battle, but who knows, the No. 3 battery was not defended by any people at all, and rushed directly to the battery, and after solving the defenders who were attacking the sea, Xiao Tian ordered the artillery of the battery to be turned and began to bombard the No. 2 battery.

After the Qing army besieged the No. 3 battery, he asked a company to continue to attack the battery, while the rest of the people began to fight with the Qing troops who came up.

"Tuanza. Brothers, there are not enough bullets. The second battalion commander picked up a rifle and ran up to wipe the sweat from his face.

"How much is left?" Xiao Tian looked at the Qing army below that there were as many ants as ants.

"There are not many, there are still three bullets left for each person, and some are even empty."

It was empty, looking at the Qing army who was still climbing up. Xiao Tianyi snatched the rifle from the hand of the first battalion commander and put on the bayonet at once.

"Tell the brethren that without bullets, they will meet the bayonets of the Qing army."

The bayonet is red, it is a signal of hand-to-hand combat between the Liaodong Army and the enemy, this slogan, or Liu Jun shouted when he pointed to Changcheng and Japan desperately, I did not expect it to spread like crazy in the Liaodong Army later. "Brothers, rush up and grab the rebellion above, and the shouts of the Qing army below begin to be heard clearly.
