He didn't want to withdraw, but he had to. Dalian, which had been occupied by the Japanese army for more than two months, finally returned to the Qing army on the afternoon of January 25.

Liu Jun, who entered the city of Dalian, saw that it was full of gunpowder smoke and ruins that had not yet been extinguished. Countless corpses of Japanese soldiers can be found everywhere. One of them was mixed with the kind of gray of the Lushun Army.

After ordering the soldiers to start cleaning up the battlefield, Liu Jun came to the headquarters of the Second Army with a happy face.

When I came to the gate, the sign with the headquarters of the Second Army had already fallen to the ground, and I don't know how many footprints had been stepped on.

Liu Jun smiled, and his two big feet stepped on it a few times at once before people picked it up and took it, in his opinion, this was evidence, the best evidence that he asked Li Hongzhang for military power, money and food.

With a smile, Liu Jun flicked the cloak of evidence, and accompanied by Zhong Lin, Wu Hao, and Li Rong, he stepped into the lifeless Japanese army headquarters.

The yard was full of messes, and several Japanese corpses were lying there, apparently killed by shells, otherwise they would not have appeared in the posture of missing their heads and would have been crushed to the ground by a few trees.

Walking into the headquarters, Liu Jun saw a lot of documents fluttering in the wind. A few chairs were hugged horizontally on the ground, and a map was spread on the ground, probably not having time to collect it.

It can be seen how embarrassed and panicked these Japanese military leaders were when they evacuated.

Walking over, Liu Jun picked up the chair from the ground.

"Hell enjoy it." Liu Jun muttered, he could see that this thing was at least a few hundred taels of silver.

As soon as he sat down, Liu Jun put his legs on the chair and closed his eyes. Give orders slowly.

"Order, the 1st Division, immediately follow the direction of the Japanese retreat, be sure to entangle the Japanese and give a blow. The order, the cavalry brigade, the 3rd brigade of the 2nd division, immediately changed their clothes and disguised the defeated troops of the Japanese army. Go to the Golden State and squeeze the Golden State City Gate. As soon as the 3rd Division succeeded in the Cavalry Brigade and the 3rd Brigade, it began to attack, making sure to take Golden State. Cut off the retreat of the Japanese Second Army. ”

The order was quickly conveyed to all divisions and brigades, and all the armies that received the order began to move according to Liu Jun's order.

Long before Dalian was captured, Liu Jun asked his father-in-law to make 2,000 sets of Japanese military uniforms and hand them over to the cavalry brigade. After waiting for Dalian to capture, he immediately changed his clothes, went to Jinzhou, pretended to be a defeated soldier, and took Jinzhou.

However, 2,000 sets of military uniforms were too few, and as soon as Dalian was taken, Liu Jun unceremoniously took off all the clothes of the Japanese soldiers who had died in battle, put them on the Lushun army, and hid the braids in the clothes, and set off urgently to Jinzhou.

After giving the order, Liu Jun stood up, looked at the county government that had become tattered, shook his head and snorted coldly, and then walked out.

The gunfire in Dalian had slowly begun to stop, and it was turning into silence.

Walking around the street, Liu Jun was lucky, and saw how many people's corpses.

"You're kind of funny." Liu Jun said lightly.

He was now somewhat grateful to this Sakuma Zomathew for not ordering the massacre and arson of the people when he retreated.

In fact, Liu Jun misunderstood Sakuma Zuo Matthew this time.

It's not that Sakuma Zuo Matthew didn't want to give this order, but he didn't dare, the reason for the fall of the Sixth Division, he also guessed a few points, if it wasn't for the Sixth Division's Kuroki Weizhen's straw bag that ordered the slaughter of Yingkou, it wouldn't have made Liu Jun mad. As a result, the 6th Division except for the 11th Brigade fled to Panjin, and all the rest died at Yingkou.

He knew that as long as he gave the order to slaughter the city, Liu Jun would be like a mad dog, and he would definitely seek revenge on himself at all costs.

His current strength and ammunition will not be the opponent of the Arthur Army in any case. He didn't want to anger Liu Jun. I don't want to cut off the Second Army's way into the Sixth Division. That's why when retreating, the armies were strictly ordered not to slaughter the people and burn Dalian.

The night had fallen, but Dalian was still lit by the light of the fire that had not yet been extinguished, and a brigade of the Second Division that remained behind was under the leadership of commanders and commanders at all levels, and began to extinguish the fire and clean up the battlefield at the same time.

Liu Jun did not want to rest in the place where the Japanese army had stayed, but retreated outside the city and set up a tent. Just inside it will make do for a night.

The sky was already bright, and the people of Dalian, who had been in terror for the past few days, finally heard the explosions and gunfire last night and night. However, the noise in the streets and the gunshots that come to mind from time to time made these people afraid to go out of the gate. They all shrank in their rooms and resigned themselves to fate, praying to God and worshiping Buddha. I hope that the shells and the Japanese army will not rush into their homes.

Li Jun has been staying at home in a panic for the past few days. Frightened picked up the hoe at home to guard in front of his wife and daughter-in-law, although he is a farmer, he is also afraid of the Japanese army, but as long as the Japanese army rushes in, even if he dies, he has to protect his wife and daughter-in-law and his own baby.

However, in the past few days, the Japanese army has not rushed in at all. Since last night, he has only heard a burst of gunfire sporadically.

The sky was already bright, and the pale daughter-in-law and the old lady were opened.

Putting down the tap, he saw that there was not a sound outside, so he slowly walked out and began to open the door that had been plugged in for a few days.

He was surprised to find that there was a group of people in gray military uniforms lying in front of his house.

Maybe it was too cold, they all huddled together with each other, picked up the guns in their hands, and warmed each other.

Li Jun was silent in his heart, and hurriedly ran back to call his wife, he didn't know what kind of army this was, and hoped that his wife could know.

His wife looked at the soldiers who were lying on the ground for a long time, and for a long time, he saw the braids behind the group.

Excitedly grabbed his son's hands. His old lady cried out and said excitedly: "Baby...... Doll...... They're back, they're back. ”

Li Jun was a stupid head, and he was surprised: "What's back?" ”

His wife slapped him on the head: "Silly boy, our troops are back." When she saw her son still standing there like a stick, she shouted loudly, "Why are you still stunned, hurry up and hand them over to the house." ”

However, what stunned the two of them was that the group of Qing soldiers lying on the ground did not enter. And they told, "The commander has commanded not to disturb the people, so he will not go in." ”

This phenomenon is just a street scene. Many people saw this. Many of the Qing soldiers they had never seen before were lying in front of their homes and in the corners.

Dalian began to boil, and the people of Dalian, who had been depressed for more than two months, began to be jubilant and set off firecrackers. Celebrate the liberation of the Qing army and the defeat of the Japanese army.

At noon, when Liu Jun entered the city, the whole Dalian reached a climax. The people in the city have long heard that the Lushun army can fight. They know it now. These Qing troops wearing strange military uniforms were the troops of the Lushun Army, Liu Jun and Liu Zongbing.

Knowing that Liu Jun had come to Dalian in person, the people crowded to both sides to welcome Liu Jun and the Lushun army behind him.

Seeing the cheering people, Liu Jun and Liu Jun waved continuously.

He was glad that he had once again saved a city.

Coming to the county office that had been cleaned up, Liu Jun sat on a maroon Taishi chair and took a sip of Zhong Lin's arrival.

This is sake, which arrived in Japan, and it was searched by the troops at the prefectural government yesterday.

Liu Jun, who was not good at drinking, threw it away at once, and asked Zhong Lin to replace it with tea.

glanced at Zhong Lin, who was standing in front of him, and began to give orders. Recruit new recruits.

Liu Jun took Dalian, knowing that the losses would definitely be great this time, and he wanted to replenish his troops, and the only way was to recruit new soldiers in Dalian.

I don't know if it was because Liu Jun's personality was too strong, or because of the charm of the Lushun Army, but not long after the notice was sent out, the county government in Dalian and the recruiting offices set up in various places surrounded a lot of people.

When it was time to eat in the afternoon, Zhong Lin came to the county office with a smile on his face and found Liu Jun who was eating.

"It's amazing, you're so charismatic, in less than five hours, more than 3,000 people have reported it."

Liu Jun also ate it, put down the chopsticks, he suspected Zhong Lin of lying: "What? , more than three thousand, didn't lie to me, I grew up in a poor family and didn't read. Don't deceive honest people. ”

Zhong Lin said this with a black line on his face, if his head is honest, what does it look like if he is not honest.

"Head, I didn't lie to you, I don't believe you can see it yourself."

Liu Jun also had this plan, so he hurriedly finished pulling the rice in the bowl, Liu Jun put on his hat and walked out of the county office and came to a recruiting office.

Sure enough, there was a long queue there.

These people have all seen Liu Jun today, and as soon as they saw Liu Jun, these people began to look happy.

Liu Jun looked at this string of people, and began to calculate in his heart.

A total of five recruitment offices have been set up throughout Dalian and in the suburbs. In this way, what Zhong Lin said will not be wrong.

"It seems that there is no problem in recruiting a division in Dalian." Liu Jun took a look at these Rans, and then looked at the sky where there was still gunsmoke, and said to himself.
