Chapter 66: Beating the Reservoir Dogs
Liu Jun walked around Dalian and returned to the county office, and now there is always something in his heart that he can't put down.
Golden State, Golden State took it down to flatter the eyes. It has been more than ten hours since the cavalry brigade set off last night. Even if it fails, there will be a word of it, but until now. No news at all.
After looking at the map on the table for a long time, Liu Jun turned around and asked, "Zhong Lin, is there any situation over there in Jinzhou?" ”
Zhong Lin shook his head: "Head, not yet, it's just that the first division has sent information that they have exchanged fire with the first brigade of the Japanese Second Army." The 1st Brigade has now been repulsed and is in pursuit of the front. ”
Liu Jun waved his hand and interrupted Zhong Lin's words, "Whether the Second Army can be annihilated or not, this doesn't matter, what I want most is Jinzhou." ”
Seeing that Zhong Lin was puzzled in his heart, he pointed to Jinzhou on the map and said, "Jinzhou is too close to Dalian. If you don't take Jinzhou, Ran Junjun stays here, I can't sleep. Also, as long as our army takes Jinzhou, it can send troops and advance directly, and it can attack the first army at any time. ”
Seeing Zhong Lin, he understood. Liu Jun looked at the map again.
After a while, he said, "Mobilize a regiment of troops, support Shoushan, and take Jinzhou at all costs." ”
He was never at ease, although this time the troops were advancing, and the troops attacking Jinzhou also reached 8,000 men. But Liu Jun was still a little worried in his heart. After all, the Japanese army in Golden State was two wings of the 12th Mixed Brigade.
After Zhong Lin went to give the order, Liu Jun had been waiting anxiously at the county office.
Anxiously waiting for the telegram from Jinzhou, it was already sunset, and Liu Jun, who was standing outside the door, looked in the direction of Jinzhou. Shaking his head helplessly, he turned around and went back to his room.
Depressedly poured the Japanese sake that was not good at noon, Liu Jun asked two more side dishes to be delivered, and began to drink the sullen wine alone. I hope this drink can dispel the anxiety in my heart.
"Head, Golden State ......" There was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door.
As soon as Liu Jun heard the words Jinzhou, he stood up and ran out and asked Zhong Lin: "How is Jinzhou?" ”
Zhong Lin took two breaths and said, "Jinzhou Huaizhou has been taken, and now Shoushan is fighting with the First Division and the First Division to attack the Second Army on the outskirts of Jinzhou.
It turned out that after Shoushan got the order last night, he urgently stepped up his whip and felt Jinzhou non-stop.
Hasegawa of Jinzhou already knew about the battle in Dalian for a long time, and knew that if Dalian was lost, the troops would definitely return to Jinzhou.
In the middle of the night, he received an order that a group of cavalry had come down from Dalian and asked to enter the city.
Hasegawa took a look at the castle and saw that there were about a thousand cavalry below covered in blood and panting.
In addition, he kept calling to open the door, and he was so proficient in Japanese, that he didn't doubt it in his heart, so he ordered the city gate to be opened and let the cavalry out of the city.
However, as soon as he returned to the headquarters and lay down to remedy, a huge explosion and gunfire rang out in the city. He immediately understood that this was for the Qing army to deceive.
Soon after Shoushan entered the city, he was afraid that it would arouse suspicion after a long time, so he directly ordered to seize the city gate and let the troops outside the city enter the city.
The unsuspecting Japanese army did not expect that this group of soldiers would suddenly attack, and they were beaten and fled everywhere at once.
After taking the city gates. Igniting the signal, the troops outside the city are stunned? began to rush into Jinzhou like the tide and start street battles with the Japanese army.
At noon the next day, Hasegawa, who was already irresistible, was good?? Kawayoshi had no choice but to order a retreat. Abandon Jinzhou and retreat to the area of Gushan.
After Shoushan took Jinzhou, he urgently asked the troops to start digging trenches and waiting for the arrival of the Second Army.
An hour later, the rout of the Second Army began to appear in Shoushan's eyeballs.
Seeing that he had entered the firing range, Shoushan gave an order...... The artillery of the Qing army smashed on the heads of the Japanese soldiers at once.
Suddenly smashed the Japanese army's head. Suddenly he lost his mind and began to flee in all directions.
Later, the troops were pursued, and there was an obstruction in front of them, and Sakuma Zuo Ma Tai was helpless, so he had to order the troops to begin to bypass Jinzhou and retreat in the direction of Dandong.
"Okay, okay, what the hell," Liu Jun scurried around in the yard, and after a while, Liu Jun excitedly ordered: "Quick, the order is injured, follow the second army, beat the water dogs, can take it, and bite his buttocks and beat him hard." ”
Liu Jun's order suddenly made the Second Army miserable.
On the battlefield of Liaodong, there was a magnificent landscape of chasing me and fleeing.
The cavalry and infantry that followed behind the Second Army chased the Second Army to the distance from Gushan before ordering the withdrawal of the troops. In this battle, the Second Army was considered to have lost all its money. Less than 12,000 people survived. And all the heavy artillery, equipment, weapons and ammunition, that was not left, all were captured by the Lushun army.
Early the next morning, there was a light snow in Dalian, and Liu Jun stood outside the door, looking at the falling light snow, in a daze. The results have been counted.
More than 7,400 Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, 1,700 were taken prisoner, and countless grains and grass, countless ammunition, and more than 8,000 long and short guns were captured. Twenty-one field guns killed three people.
The Lushun army suffered more than 4,000 casualties.
For the first time, the Japanese army lost more than himself, and Liu Jun should have been happy in his heart, but the situation exposed by this battle made Liu Jun really unhappy.
This morning, Liu Jun got Zhong Lin's situation. This situation suddenly made Liu Jun's face full of joy disappear without a trace.
In this battle, many soldiers did not know who their superiors were, especially on the way to the final pursuit of the Second Army, the soldiers did not know who the commander was, and just swarmed forward. It can be said that the officer knows the soldier, and the soldier does not know the officer.
Zhong Lin told Liu Jun that up to now, there are still many soldiers in Jinzhou and Dalian who are looking for their troops.
It's terrible to think about, and his own troops can still lose the formation commander in the pursuit of the Japanese army. If it's on the run, you know what terrible things are going to happen.
Sighing, Liu Junzhuan shook his head helplessly, there was no way to solve this problem in his heart now.
Zhong Lin walked over from outside the door and said, "Head, the telegraph office can send a telegram." ”
The telegraph office was blown up during yesterday's fighting. After taking Dalian, Liu Jun asked Zhong Lin to transfer telegraph personnel from Lushun overnight to pay close attention to repairs. He wants to send a report to Li Hongzhang.
As soon as he heard that the telegraph office had been repaired, Liu Jun nodded, put aside the question just now, and then called Zhong Lin and walked to the Dalian telegraph office.
Tianjin, Li Hongzhang is now in a hurry, the Japanese army is besieging Liaoyang vigorously, and there is a great tendency to not give up if Liaoyang is not taken and Shengjing is captured. He had already drawn more than half of his army from Weihai to Liaoyang, but the imperial court was still urging him to transfer troops to rescue Liaoyang.
Just now, he received Guangxu's holy decree asking him to draw three battalions of troops to Liaoyang again.
Li Hongzhang was angry and angry about this holy decree. In the transfer of troops in Weihai, if the Japanese army suddenly attacked, who would stop it.
After sending away the eunuch who delivered the holy decree, Li Hongzhang locked himself in the study and sighed.
The tea on the coffee table is his favorite tea, and Li Hongzhang, who usually drinks a few cups no matter how busy he is, has no appetite at all.
knocked out the dry tobacco bag, Li Hongzhang wanted Yang Fengchun, who was standing next to him, to find Yang Shixiang to discuss.
However, Yang Fengchun hadn't gone out yet, so he collided with Yang Shixiang who ran in.
Li Hongzhang fixed his eyes and saw that it was Yang Shixiang, thinking that something urgent had happened. Hurriedly stood up and asked, "What happened to make you so flustered?" ”
Yang Shixiang handed over a telegram with trembling hands, and stammered in his mouth: "My lord, Dalian Liu Jun telegram." ”
Dalian Liu Jun's telegram, this sentence made Li Hongzhang eat already, why did Liu Jun's telegram come from Dalian, you know, Dalian is now in the hands of the Japanese army. Maybe I heard it wrong. Li Hongzhang asked, "Is it Lushun telegram?" ”
Yang Shixiang shook his head: "My lord, it's not Lushun, it's Dalian." ”
What the hell is going on, Li Hongzhang was confused for a while, and after a while, he asked, "What do you say?" ”
Unexpectedly, Yang Shixiang did not speak, but handed the telegram to Li Hongzhang.
Li Hongzhang was very puzzled, took the telegram, he opened it, and looked at a few words, and his heart, which had been depressed for a long time, suddenly began to be overjoyed and short of breath
"Liu Jun, the general soldier of Lushun, led the army to recover Dalian Jinzhou, and sent a special telegram to report the ......victory"
Oh, it turns out that Liu Jun, this kid, took Dalian and Jinzhou, no wonder it was a telegram sent back from Dalian. Li Hongzhang suddenly realized and said to Yang Shixiang who was standing in front of him.
"My lord, you better look down," Yang Shixiang reminded Li Hongzhang when he didn't read the telegram.
Li Hongzhang nodded and began to do it. Read on again.
However, the more I watched, the more frightened I became, and the more I watched, the more excited I became. Yang Shixiang found that Li Hongzhang was trembling, and the coffee table next to him was also trembling.
With a sudden, Li Hongzhang stood up suddenly.
With a clear snap, Li Hongzhang excitedly patted the coffee table next to him. Hahaha laughed out loud and said several good words at the same time
