Lushun, a light snow last night covered the inside and outside of Lushun City with a thick layer of snow, Liu Jun, who was standing at the window reluctantly, no longer knew that this was the first snow since the beginning of winter, but he clearly remembered that every time it snowed, Zheng Yiqian would prepare ginger soup and put it on his desk.

A cool breeze came in through the crack in the window, and Liu Jun tightened his cloak, turned back to Wei, and picked up the tea.

After looking at the map hanging on the wall, Liu Jun stood up, walked to the map, looked at it carefully, and muttered, "After waiting for two days, they will be able to reach Lushun." ”

"What did you say?" While sorting out the documents, Zheng Yiqian raised her head and looked at Liu Jun suspiciously.

Raising his head slightly, Liu Jun glanced at Zheng Yiqian, who was full of doubts, and returned to his position: "I said, in two days, Jiang Chaoying will be able to arrive in Lushun, and then they can form a new formation with the Beiyang Naval Division to leave the port and find the main force of the combined fleet to fight." ”

Oh, Zheng Yiqian let out a sigh after hearing this, and lowered her head again to sort out the documents in her hand.

There was a creak, and a cold wind poured in, and the two raised their heads and saw Zhong Lin walking in with a pale face.

"Close the door." Seeing Zhong Lin coming over with a roar, the door was not closed, Liu Jun frowned and yelled.

Oh, Zhong Linyou, who was about to get to the table, ran to close the door, and then walked over and stood in front of Liu Jun.

"Tell me, what's the bad news." Liu Junke didn't think that the news sent by Zhong Lin this time was good news, because when he sent good news, Zhong Lin would definitely not be this kind of unrelenting virtue.

"Head, I just received an urgent call from the Japanese intelligence station." Zhong Lin said as he opened his green briefcase and took out a document from it.

took it in an uproar, and Liu Jun saw that it was clearly written.

The main force of the Combined Fleet left Sasebo and headed for the East China Sea.

With a snap, Liu Jun slapped the intelligence in his hand on the ground. said viciously: "Okay, pay attention to my Fujian sailor and Guangdong sailor." ”

What? Zheng Yiqian put down the document in her hand, took the telegram from the table and glanced at it, it was obvious that the combined fleet had received the news that Liu Jun had transferred the Fujian Navy Division and the Guangdong Navy Division to the north.

"It's not good, the Fujian Navy Division and the Guangdong Navy Division only have one battleship and five armored cruisers, if they encounter the main force of the combined fleet, the situation will not be good for us." Zheng Yiqian lowered her head and thought for a while, looking at Liu Jun, who was sitting there without saying a word.

"yes, we've got to figure it out." Zhong Lin also stepped forward.

Thinking of a way, Liu Jun glanced at the two of them and slowly closed his eyes.

Judging from the current strength, if the main force of the combined fleet is dispatched, then there are four battleships and nearly seven cruisers, such strength, if the fleet going north encounters it, then the consequences.

"Come with me." Thinking of this, Liu Jun stood up all of a sudden, and took the military hat from the side, he wanted to go to the Admiralty in person, and asked Li He to immediately organize troops to go south to meet the fleet going north.

"Okay." Zhong Lin answered, turned around and followed behind Liu Jun's buttocks, and walked out of the headquarters happily.

The Admiralty, because of its proximity to the sea, is obviously much more cold here than the Arthur Command.

"Commander, the marshal is here." Yan Fu walked a few steps to Li He, who was pondering in front of the chart, and whispered.

Handsome? Li Hemeng turned around and walked out quickly.

Before he went out, he saw Liu Jun wearing a cloak and walking here accompanied by Zhong Lin and Zheng Yiqian.

Before the "big marshal" could salute, Liu Jun waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to, and walked to the position in a few steps, Liu Jun looked at Li He who was standing in front of him: "Put down everything, immediately organize the troops for Lao Tzu to go south, and meet the fleet going north." ”

Answered, Li He's eyes widened, he didn't figure it out, this fleet going north was not a small fishing boat, this was a big guy with one battleship and five armored cruisers.

Unable to get an answer from Liu Jun, Li He looked at Zhong Lin to the side with confused eyes.

"The Japanese Combined Fleet has already been dispatched, and it is estimated that it is heading north for the fleet."

Paralyzed, Li He was insulted in his heart, this northbound fleet was formed after arriving in Lushun, and if the Japanese did something to the northbound fleet, then no one would live.

"Yan Fu, immediately give the order, let the Gloomy, Ruojing, Zhenyuan, and Hashidate armored cruisers. The battleships Zhenyuan, Dingyuan, and Ningyuan were ready for battle. Anchor lifted after half an hour. ”

Coo-coo, a shrill siren sounded in the calm Lushun Military Port.

Bang, the Lushun Naval Base, which was calm just now, suddenly became busy, and the Beiyang Navy soldiers who were in the cabin rushed out like a flood and quickly arrived at their respective combat posts at home.

On the deck of the Ningyuan, Li He, who was dressed in military uniform, stood quietly on the deck, watching the warship that was going out to carry out the mission this time slowly leaving the military port, Li He couldn't bear to be calm in his heart.

Now he has a trace of worry in his heart, in the headquarters, he has already obtained that the combined fleet has dispatched the main force of the combined fleet this time in order to deal with the Fujian and Guangdong naval divisions going north.

If it is really the main force, then with the current strength of the Fujian Navy Division and the Guangdong Navy Division, it will not be able to fight with the combined fleet, after all, where is the strength.

"What, are you worried that they will encounter the Combined Fleet before they join up with the Northbound Fleet?" Yan Fu on the side looked at Li He's sad face, stepped forward and asked cautiously.

did not deny it, Li He nodded slightly, indeed, he was worried that he had not yet joined the Fujian Navy. The Fujian and Guangdong navigators will be discovered by the combined fleet and attacked.

At night, through the moonlight, you can vaguely see that on the sea, there has been a huge fleet, which is lined up in a line, wanting to gallop westward, if you look carefully, it is obvious that you can see that the military flag fluttering by the sea breeze on the mast is still a chrysanthemum flag.

The Chrysanthemum Flag, the flag of the Japanese Navy, is now on the sea, and the main force of the Combined Fleet that came out of Sasebo died.

In the tower of the battle cruiser Mikasa, the commander of the Combined Fleet took a deep breath and then exhaled a long breath. He was a little uneasy in his heart, or rather, he still remembered the incident a few years ago.

A few years ago, it was also him, who led the main force of the combined fleet to meet the Beiyang Naval Division in the Yellow Sea, not only sank the five warships of the Beiyang Naval Division, but also beat the Beiyang Naval Division out of Weihai, but in the end, thinking of this, Ito Yuheng's eyes widened suddenly, and it was obvious that there was a kind of hatred in his eyes. And this kind of hatred refers to a person, and this person is Liu Jun.

Sometimes he wonders if Liu Jun hadn't appeared at the beginning, would it be a different situation now.

There was a creak, a shrill sound, and when he opened his eyes, Ito saw the first mate walk in, cup after cup of coffee in his hand.

"How long is it before we leave the Sea of Japan." Taking the coffee from the first mate's hand, Ito asked lightly after taking a sip.

"It is estimated that we will be able to leave the waters of Japan in five hours."

Nodding slightly, Ito understood that once out of the waters of Japan, then it would be proved that the rest. , that is, to search for the northbound fleet composed of Fujian Naval Division and Guangdong Naval Division.

Let the officers and men of the ships seize the time to rest, perhaps, this is the last night's rest. With that, Ito stood up and began to walk to his room.
