Chapter 1327: The True Purpose
Bobby was angry, ?an en ???.? r?a?n?? e?n?`o?r g?
He actually knew better than anyone how powerful the soldiers of the Holy Chinese Empire were, so when he came back to Linshan, when he heard someone say that he was a coward, Bobby wanted to duel with that man, but in the end, he didn't have this opportunity, and the next day, he came to this place.
The Third Army made Hu Langge give up, otherwise, he would never have placed himself at the forefront.
At the forefront, that's one word, die.
Therefore, he had been worried to death in his heart for the past two days, especially when Duan Qirui's army was deployed, he was even more frightened and didn't sleep.
"We're finally safe." Bobby, who sighed, said to the chief of staff beside him.
The chief of staff now has one arm broken, and now he has one hand, and another, which has remained in Manila.
The chief of staff smiled helplessly, in his heart, he was actually in the same mood as Bobby.
"Yes, we'll at least be able to see tomorrow's sun again."
Tomorrow's sun will indeed be visible, but in the future, forget it, be able to live one day at a time, Bobby opened the wine bottle when he thought of this.
During this time, he was irritable and could only rely on alcohol to numb himself.
Lin Shan, the forward position, Duan Qirui finally received a call back from the capital.
The return call was a telegram sent by Zhong Lin, and the content of the telegram was just one thing, calling reinforcements and forcing negotiations. “
These six short words made Duan Qirui understand what Liu Jun meant at once.
The reinforcements naturally refer to the 40,000 troops who came from Spain, and to force negotiations must be to negotiate with Spain, than they signed an agreement, and then ceded Nanyang.
This is a good attention, at least if it is realized, it can reduce the loss of tens of thousands of people.
After Duan Qirui came to Lin Mountain, he had observed on the airship, during this time, Hu Langge did not eat dry, he actually formed a powerful defense system for the entire Lin Mountain, the fire points, and the dark fort were clear-eyed, and most of the trenches and bunkers they dug were against the air.
In other words, although he brought sixteen airships, it seems that the effect will not be too great, and the attack will still depend on the army when the time comes.
Relying on the army, the loss will be great, anyway, in Duan Qirui's heart, if he wants to eat here, he will have to pay the price of at least 50,000 casualties.
Exchanging time for soldiers' lives, Duan Qirui thinks it's worth it.
Hehehe, a handsome is a handsome, not something I can compare, Duan Qirui, who looked at the message, smiled, and now he knows everything in his heart.
Duan Qirui was relieved, but now Li He is at the beginning of his busyness.
The task of attacking Spain this time was once again entrusted to the navy, that is, Li He, who is now anchored in the port of Manila in the South Seas.
Li He received a telegram at noon today, which clearly pointed out that the Spanish reinforcements would arrive around the South Seas in 10 days at most, so that the navy could prepare for the annihilation of them.
Inside the headquarters of the Hongzhang, Li He looked at the map on the table with a silent expression.
This map is a map of the Indian Ocean.
"Are you still watching?" Yan Fu, who came in from outside, saw that Li He was still looking at the map, and stepped forward to ask.
Seeing that it was Yan Fu, Li He nodded.
This time it was a tough battle, not using submarines like Manila, but directly hitting the hard, using artillery fire to solve the battle.
40,000 horses, there are quite a few transport ships. Li He didn't want to kill people too much, if he used a submarine, the black light would be blinding, maybe a torpedo would pass, and the warship would have nothing to do, and the transport ship would be extinguished.
A ship with three or four thousand people is more than four thousand people, that is more than four thousand lives.
I'm not a Japanese devil and wouldn't do such a thing.
"Yes, I want to take a good look at it, you know the message of the commander, let's wipe out this reinforcement." He placed the pen in his hand on the table.
Yan Fu agreed with this, nodded, and handed a document in his hand to Li He.
This document is the reinforcement situation forwarded by the Intelligence Bureau.
Three battleships, four cruisers, eleven destroyers, plus twenty-three transports. “
Awesome, big move, this already accounts for one-third of their naval strength, Li He, who saw the telegram, smiled and looked at Yan Fu in front of him: "Big deal." ”
It's a big deal, indeed. However, although this deal is good, it is true who will fight it.
How are you going to deal with it, looking at Li He in front of him, Yan Fu asked.
Who is going to fight, this question is the right question, and Li He is still thinking about it.
He knew the policy of the empire, and after the end of the war, the whole country entered a stage of recuperation. In other words, the Navy has since entered a stage of rest. Since then there has been no war.
The Beiyang Naval Division is a veteran, and it is also the most capable force in the entire empire, and the worst army is the Pacific Fleet, but the Pacific Fleet is not currently involved in this battle, so there is no chance for them to train.
And the only ones who can be sent are the Guangdong Sailor and the Fujian Sailor.
"Let the Fujian Navy Division and the Guangdong Navy Division draw troops to dispatch. Intercept them off the coast of the South Seas. In addition, you lead the Second Fleet, mainly transport ships and rescue fleets, to follow behind, and once the war starts and the shells have no eyes, I estimate that there will definitely be transport ships that will be damaged, hence the rescue mission. ”
Understood, Yan Fu understood this question, smiled slightly, Yan Fu nodded and said, "Okay, I agree with you." ”
Seeing that Yan Fu agreed, Li He immediately nodded. Then I came back to the map.
"Tell Zhong Lin to keep an eye on the situation of the rescue fleet, I need their exact time."
Only with an accurate situation can there be an accurate order, and a powerful navy can't just run over and wait now, the vast sea, such a wide sea, the ghost knows where they are.
Therefore, Li He wanted to be accurate about the situation, and then calculated according to his route and other circumstances, and then set out where to intercept.
"Understood." Yan Fu also knew about this situation, and he didn't have any objections, but nodded and turned around and walked out.
The last naval battle is over, and after this battle, we rarely have a chance to fight, looking at the back of Yan Fu going out, Li He sighed and thought in his heart.
Li He knew better than anyone that after this battle was over, the navy would have no battle to fight for a certain period of time. All that's left is to train well and prepare for future battles. Prepare for future decisive battles. (To be continued.) )
