On November 30, 1853, the majestic Russian Black Sea Fleet detachment, under the command of Vice Admiral Nakhimov, annihilated the main force of the Turkish Fleet anchored in Sinop Bay at a small cost of 235 wounded and 37 killed. The high-pitched and loud roar of the seventy-six howitzers on the Russian battleships officially announced the end of the sail naval era, and the traditional wooden sail battleship hulls were simply vulnerable in the face of powerful blasting shells, and the main ships of the navy had to develop in the aspect of steam and armor.

However, it is a pity that although the Russians were so excited to play the prelude to the revolution in naval technology, they could not close the curtain on this real revolution. Two months later, the Crimean War broke out. Compared with the Anglo-French fleet, the capital ships of the Black Sea Fleet were in an absolutely inferior position in terms of quantity and quality, and were simply unable to engage in a head-on confrontation with the coalition navy. Prince Paskovich invented a brilliant tactic, that is, to remove the guns of most of the ships of the fleet and strengthen the defense of the fortress by land, and as for those empty ships without artillery, they were used as blocking ships and were mercilessly sunk into the entrance channel to the port of Sevastopol. The Black Sea Fleet, which had been arrogant and invincible a few months before, had not yet fought a single regular naval battle with the British and French warships, and hastily and reluctantly accepted the fate of annihilation.

It seems that there is a kind of genetic gene that is playing tricks, and when the land defense battle of Weihaiwei started, Barushka also played this job, and the more he played, the smoother it became. The Taiping Red Army's repeated blows once made him frightened, and then his own side hardened, forcing the other party to retreat again and again, but it made him itch in his heart. It's like a gambler sitting in a casino, who thinks he can win in addition to losing. So, he was like a moving ant king, commanding more ants and ants under his command to send his essence blood and belongings to the city of Weihaiwei. Except for a battalion that had been annihilated in the batteries on the south bank, all the elite marines were pulled into the Weihai Acropolis, and half of the guns and sailors on the battleships went ashore.

Of course, he was still smarter than Prince Paskovich, and did not sink the ship to seal the port. First, he also thought of sealing the south entrance, but unfortunately, the artillery fire of the Taiping Red Army did not give him that opportunity at all. As for the north entrance, it can't be sealed, and if it is really sealed, if you want to run, you will have no way to escape. Besides, although the United States and France's mediated joint fleets had left, they were left with two gunboats anchored near Rongcheng Bay, and their patrol boats would send back the situation detected at sea every two hours. Until now, the navy of the Taiping Red Army has not shown its head at all, and it seems that the United States and France are still friends here, although the French are enemies on the Crimean side. Since the navy of the Taiping Red Army did not participate in the war, it would always last a few days just against these opponents on land.

"Weihaiwei has been attacked more and more fiercely by the enemy, but under the vigorous counterattack of our Tsar's loyal and brave soldiers, it is now somewhat stable. Looking at the overall situation, although the strength of the southern rebels is not low, it is not invincible, and I hope ......" This was the last telegram sent by Barushka to the headquarters of the Naval Forces stationed in China living in Tianjin. Before the telegram could be sent, the telegraph line was blown up during the Taiping Red Army's artillery attack on Liugong Island again, and he lost contact with the Tianjin headquarters. What was the last thing he hoped for in the telegram? He hadn't had time to tell the headquarters, and the rest was for his headquarters to understand and guess.

With this strong support from Barushka, Dashamov has also achieved a series of outstanding results. Following the successful recovery of Naigu Mountain by a regiment, the elite marine regiment regained Xianguding, and his second regiment in Tiger Mountain and Foding Mountain, also fought the opponent almost untenable, if it wasn't for God to help those Taiping Red Army on the mountain, it was too dark too fast, and the two peaks had already stood at the feet of his soldiers. However, with the barrier of the Immortal Gu Peak in hand, it is enough for now. As soon as Rongcheng's reinforcements were fired in the Gushan area, his army could go straight to the south bank battery along the coastline under the cover of the naval guns in the harbor, and Khabakeyev was extremely excited. It is no wonder that a soldier who has won a battle always has to be excited for a while, and victory is the best reward for a soldier.

Now, Barushka, like Dasamov, is determined to fight to the death with the Red Army of the Celestial Empire on land, which of course Tan Shaoguang cannot ask for. If it weren't for the fear that the line would be too tight, the kite of Balushka would break the line and run away, not to mention Nagu Mountain and Xianguding, even any inch of land under the feet of the Red Army, they would not have thought of going.

The commander moved his mouth, and the soldier ran and broke his leg. This can only be used when there is no war. Not now, now it's the commander who moves his mouth, and the soldier dies in vain. In the past, there were at least some forts on Mount Naigu, but now when you go up, there is nothing. After fighting for half a day, what I got was a bare mountain, with nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide, and no way to defend at all. It's hard to imagine who would dare to stay here if they counterattacked again. "Listen to how the Russian soldiers praised Dasamov's brilliant results.

"After a day of fighting, at dusk, the fairy aunt finally took it down. I haven't been here before, but you can see the lush trees and weeds on the top of the mountain from afar. Now the fairy girl has become a bald man's head, and when her feet go down, the floating soil can immediately cover the surface of her feet, and she can't find a suitable thing if she wants to find something to build a temporary fortress. No wonder they are reluctant to keep it, this kind of place, God can't keep it. It's going to get dark, if they come back again......"

Not to mention that the Red Army wanted to reflexively kill back, where could these two hills alone satisfy the appetite of the Red Army officers and men. However, a short respite still had to be left for the Russian ghosts first, at least to give Barushka and Dasamov in the city a chance to gather their forces and prepare to counterattack the batteries on the south bank. Of course, this respite is uncomfortable, even harder than the time that has been tossing and turning vigorously all day. When there is a war, there is still something to do, but the taste of waiting for someone to go on a date will turn these two people into two ants on a hot pot.

There were rare hours of silence, and even the South Bank Batteries seemed to be tired, and stopped the incessant roaring.

"What are these stupid pigs doing in Minabjeski?" Dasamov replaced the men and horses of the first regiment and the marine regiment with the second regiment, and waited for the news of the war in the direction of Rongcheng for reinforcements, who knows that until now, there has been no movement.

"It's not going to be blocked in the way, is it?" Barushka was just as restless, but somewhat cautious.

"How is it possible, three regiments of men and horses, nearly six thousand people, how much does it take to stop them...... of the Chinese? Dasamov wandered around the room like a beast, snorting and panting. He wanted to say, "How many Chinese with big knives and spears are needed," but when the words came to his lips, he didn't say them. Alas, it's really inexplicable, when did the Chinese have firearms? "Damn, the Americans and the French don't have a single good thing, without them bastards, the Chinese will always be some dirty bugs."

Yes, didn't it say that only 20,000 people of the Taiping Red Army arrived in Jiaodong? Dengzhou Mansion also said that they were also attacked there, and the enemy in front of Weihaiwei was afraid that there were more than six or seven thousand men and horses, and they could use it to intercept six thousand heavily armed Tsarist troops, especially the tsarist army that also had a large number of artillery, and they had to stop it. How many people did they come? Barushka was a little confused.

"Brethren, the last glorious hour has come." This is the Red 1st Division and the 2nd Red Division are both reading Tan Shaoguang's mobilization order to the commanders above their respective battalion and regimental level, "Under the heavy blow of my teaching brigade, the Red 3rd Division, and the Red 4th Division, the two reinforcements of Tsarist Russia on the Rongcheng side, and the three entire regiments were completely annihilated. The military headquarters orders you, the brothers of the glorious Red Army of the Celestial Empire, to launch a general attack on all fronts, beginning at 11 p.m. on May 20. Brothers, we must use our strength and heroic and resolute spirit to tell the foreign invaders that they should not stretch out their hands, for they will be cut off! Let the slogan of 'return my rivers and mountains' resound throughout the land of Weihai. Brothers, spread your strong legs and march towards the last bastion of the invaders, for the sake of the Celestial Empire! ”
