Zhong Lin's anxious shouting made Liu Jun's scalp tingle all of a sudden, what kind of big thing made Zhong Lin so panicked.

Putting down the teacup and looking up at the door, he saw Zhong Lin running out of breath and holding a piece of paper in his hand.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Liu Jun asked with a frown.

Zhong Lin didn't reply at all, but handed over the telegram in his hand.

Seeing that Zhong Lin's hand handed over the telegram was still a little trembling, Liu Jun was very contemptuous.

I have been messing with myself for so long, and I don't know how to calm down when things fall, and there is still a house to stand up to when the sky falls.

"Calm down, no interest at all." In the midst of ridicule, Liu Jun took the telegram.

After only one glance, Liu Jun sat on the Taishi chair in surprise.

Now he has also become a member of Zhong Lin, panicking with a hint of sadness.

The sky really collapsed.

After a long while, Liu Juncai asked Zhong Lin blankly: "When is it?" ”

"It was about three o'clock last night."

Nodding, Liu Jun looked at the telegram in his hand again, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became.

With a bang, Liu Jun broke out, smashing the teacup in his hand to the ground at once, Liu Jun scolded: "What does the army of Rong Chengwan do to eat, and what does the sailor do to eat." Where the Japanese landed for two days, they simply did not stop it. Your ****'s Ding Ruchang. If Weihai is lost, you are a sinner. ”

Resentfully, he crumpled the telegram in his hand, Liu Junyu was still angry, and turned around and began to scold Li Hongzhang for the serious idea of the warlord and the serious thinking of the landlord, and put a tight spell on Ding Ruchang to protect the ship against the enemy.

Tired of scolding, Liu Jun sat down helplessly, now he is scolding the eighteenth generation of Li Hongzhang's ancestors, and he can't get back this matter, or think about how to make up for it = make up for it.

Turning around and walking to the map, Liu Jun carefully watched the Japanese army's attack and retreat route. I suddenly understood in my heart.

"Damn, the wind and waves have come, and I didn't expect to capsize in this small ditch." Liu Jun looked at the map with dissatisfaction and looked up to the sky and sighed.

Seeing where Liu Jun was crying and laughing, Zhong Lin walked over and asked, "Head, what's wrong." ”

"It's so special, Lao Tzu was tricked by the Japanese."

Now he really understands why the 15th Division was transferred to the First Army, and why the First Army attacked Liaoyang desperately, making a posture of not digging up ancestral graves and not being a hero, all of which were all fake. The reason why the Japanese army did this was for one purpose. The mobilization of troops in Weihai to reinforce the void in Weihai. Then quickly draw forces and, escorted by the Combined Fleet, quickly occupy Weihai.

told Zhong Lin the reason for everything

Zhong Lin was stunned for a while, and after a while, he leaned in and whispered, "Head, this Japanese army is so poisonous." ”

Damn, this is still used to say that the Japanese army's move is not only poisonous, but it is extremely vicious. Liu Jun thought resentfully in his heart

Weihai and Lushun, as long as any place is taken by the Japanese army, then the Japanese Combined Fleet will have a mooring place, and when the time comes, the Japanese army will use this as a springboard to expand the results of the battle, and even threaten Beijing.

Now that the Japanese army has landed at Rongchengwan, Weihai will fall at any time, and when the time comes, once the Japanese army has gained a firm foothold in Weihai, it will immediately send troops to Lushun.

After thousands of calculations, why didn't he calculate that the Japanese army would attack Weihai. Liu Jun remorsefully slapped his head.

Sitting on the seat in annoyance, Liu Jun felt his head numb.

Closing his eyes, he wanted to calm himself down.

Opening his eyes suddenly, Liu Jun blurted out: "It's not good." ”

Zhong Lin next to him was frightened and asked suspiciously, "That's the head."

Liu Jun just thought that if the Japanese army attacked Weihai, then Lushun's grain and grass transportation route from the waterway would be cut off, and Lushun now had 100,000 troops, and the consumption of food a day, weapons and ammunition would be found in a serious threat.

Damn, Liu Jun didn't pay attention to Zhong Lin, but stood up from the chair all of a sudden, quickly came to the map, and quickly found Yingkou.

He knew that in order to solve this huge problem now, the sea route was no longer possible, and the only way was to solve it by land and let Tianjin transport supplies by land to Lushun.

Second, there are two directions for transporting such huge materials, inside and outside the customs.

Outside the customs, let the northeast area be transported, this route Liu Jun just thought about it for a while and left it behind.

Transportation from outside the customs, it is simply impossible, the outside of the customs is already poor, and in addition to the fact that almost all the troops in the northeast now rely on the customs to replenish the mail, there is no surplus grain to support Lushun.

And the only route is only the inside.

However, Kannai now.

Hey, Liu Jun sighed heavily.

To transport from the Guannei, the nearest route is to cross the mountain customs, out of Jinzhou, under Panjin, and then to Yingkou, but now Panjinpan is occupied by the 11th Brigade of the Japanese Army. This has cut off the connection between the nearest and Kannai.

Staring at Panjin deadly, Liu Jun thought about it for a long time before turning his head and saying to Zhong Lin beside him, "Call Zhang Yi to see me." ”

After Zhang Yicong participated in the parade, he did not immediately return to the military headquarters of the Second Army in Yingkou, but helped train the operators of the battery in Lushun.

Zhong Lin nodded, turned around and walked out, mounted his horse and hurried towards the fort.

Zhang Yi, who was teaching the soldiers in the fort to aim and shoot in the direction, said that Liu Jun looked for him, immediately jumped off the fort, and came to the war room with Zhong Lin.

Seeing Zhang Yi coming over, Liu Jun handed over the crumpled telegram that had been crumpled: "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Yi opened it and took a look: "The Japanese army landed at Rongchengwan and is now advancing towards Weihai." ”

Zhang Yi frowned, he had been with Liu Jun for so long, and he was also a graduate of the Appetite Military Academy, so he could immediately see the crisis that Dao Dao and Lushun were facing in the near future.

Putting down the telegram in his hand, Zhang Yi took a deep breath and looked at Liu Jun who was looking at him with firm eyes: "Please give the task to the marshal." ”

Seeing Zhang Yi's resolute eyes, Liu Jun knew that he had seen the problem.

Nodding, Liu Jun came to the map, picked up the commander, and pointed to the location of Panjin at once.

"Now that the Japanese army is attacking Weihai, it is no longer possible to transport grain and grass from Weihai, and the only route is to open the land transportation line. Second, if you want to open up the land transportation line, you must win Panjin. So. Liu Jun said this, paused, looked at the two people standing in front of him, Liu Jun said word by word: "So, I decided to launch the Panjin Battle and open up the land communication line." ”

"Start the Battle of Panjin?" Zhong Lin's eyes widened and he looked at Liu Jun with some surprise.

Liu Jun nodded solemnly and said repeatedly: "Yes, the 11th Brigade that launched the Panjin Battle and ate Panjin." After looking at Zhang Yi, Liu Jun pointed at Zhang Yi with his finger: "In this battle, you have full command, and I will not interfere." ”

As soon as he heard that he was in full command, Zhang Yi was excited and a little worried, and he had concerns in his heart.

Although the 11th Brigade of Panjin is a remnant, there are still about 2,000 people, and the Second Army is now mainly recruited by patrol battalions and hearts from all over the Qing Army, and its combat effectiveness is not too strong, and the main veterans are a brigade of the Third Division. This is to attack Panjin. He was a little worried that he would not play well and affect Liu Jun's plan.

Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth to say what he thought, but Liu Jun had already seen what he was worried about from his eyes.

Waving his hand easily, Liu Jun walked up to Zhang Yi with a smile as much as he could, and patted him on the shoulder: "Go boldly and fight." I believe in your second army. After thinking about it for a while, Liu Jun said again: "Since the soldiers of your Second Army are all new recruits, I will ask Wu Hao to transfer the Second Brigade to you first." ”

Zhang Yi's heart was hot, he didn't expect Liu Jun to understand him so well, he bit his lip, Zhang Yi said excitedly: "Dashuai, I can't beat Panjin, I'll Zhang Yi raise my head to see him." After speaking, he gave a solemn military salute to Liu Jun, turned around and went out of the war room and immediately went back to pack his things. Prepare to return to Yingkou. Organize the Panjin operation.

Seeing Zhang Yi walking out, Liu Jun said to Zhong Lin: "You go and give an order, let Wu Hao transfer the second brigade to Yingkou immediately and come back to me." ”

Zhong Lin nodded, turned around and went out to give the order.

After the two left, Liu Jun sat down on the chair, and the relaxed expression just now disappeared at once, replaced by a solemn face.

After all, the Japanese army's attack on Weihai this time was a huge challenge for itself.

Zhong Lin's speed was very fast, and in less than half an hour, he ran back to report to Liu Jun, who was lying on the chair, the order had been issued, the second brigade was already preparing, and it was estimated that it would be ready to leave in three hours.

Liu Jun nodded, stood up, and said to Zhong Lin, "Let's go, go to the telegraph office." ”

He thought about it for a while, although the Japanese army has now landed in Rongcheng Bend, this does not mean that there is no solution.

So far, there is only one way to try, whether it will work or not, only God knows, Liu Jun, who walked out of the door, sighed in his heart and thought.
