Chapter 046 Peaceful

Zhou Charter rushed to the chest wall with a bloody knife, and at least five Japanese soldiers died under his sword.

On the chest wall, the officers and soldiers of the winning leather battalion raised the flag and cheered. But Zhang Jun's soldiers disappeared.

Li Guoge saluted Zhou Charter: "Master Zhou..."

"A toast to the ghost, tell your soldiers to find a shelter and lie down. The Japanese naval guns are about to fire!" Zhou Charter shouted.

These days, as long as Zhang Jun repels the charge of the Japanese army, he will immediately be bombarded by Japanese naval guns. Zhang's soldiers have long been used to this tactic of the Japanese army. After winning the war, they never cheer and celebrate, but quickly hide in the bunker and hide it tightly. Therefore, these days, Zhang Jun has basically not made unnecessary sacrifices.

Li Guoge built a pergola, looked up to the sea and said, "Master Zhou, no way, Japanese warships are at least 20 kilometers away. Can their shells fly so far?"

Zhou Charter looked at it and couldn't help but be shocked.

The Japanese warship that was originally moored on the coast, including the Yoshino ship that made Zhang Jun suffer, somehow left the coast and sailed to the depths of the sea, becoming ten black spots.

There are still two warships left in the military port, but they are all small gunboats with a displacement of only a few hundred tons, and there are no large-caliber guns on the gunboat. And these artillery also stopped shooting.

The Japanese navy abandoned the army and ran away!

In Lushun, there were only 3,000 Japanese Army left. With the five forts of Lushun Port, the Pearl Reef Fort and the chatty, they formed a confrontation with the Golden Mountain and Erlongshan Forts. However, without the coordination of naval guns, the Japanese army was forced to stop the attack.

The battlefield was quiet. After eight days of battle, Lushun was so quiet for the first time.

The Golden Mountain Fort is still guarded.

Hannagan, the chief of staff of Zhang Jun, came to Zhou Charter, stared at a pair of blue eyes, and muttered, "This is a gift from God!"

"No, this is a gift from the Jade Emperor!" Li Guoge shouted, "How can your God care about China!"

The reason why the Japanese navy withdrew is unknown.

If these warships are still here, even if they repel the Japanese this time, the Golden Mountain will still be difficult to escape the fate of destruction.

The Japanese gave up their easy victory. Is there really a God or the Jade Emperor?

Zhou Charter was full of suspicion and returned to the bunker.

Zhou Charter has not returned here for three consecutive days.

Cherry was marching halfway**, and Yoshio Asano held a pistol in his hand and waited beside her.

Zhou Charter shouted, "He is a prisoner. Why does he have a gun in his hand!"

Feng Guozhang followed Zhou Charter and hurriedly said, "Big brother, this is what Miss Cherry means. She said that if the Japanese attack, let Asano Yoshio shoot her. Big brother, Miss Cherry is our benefactor. Her meaning is not easy to violate. Besides, at that time, it is indeed a way out. ."

Zhou Charter hummed and bowed to Cherry and said, "Sister Cherry, the war has been urgent these two days, and Charter has not come to see you..."

"Gag is coming." Cherry interrupted Zhou Charter's words.

Zhou Charter hurriedly said, "Where is Gege? The Charter is grateful and should be thanked in person..."

"Guge is on Erlong Mountain." Cherry said.

"Come on," Zhou Charter shouted, "Go to Erlong Mountain immediately!"

"Ger said that she didn't see you." Cherry said.

"Why?"

"Why?" Cherry looked sarcastically: "Why do you know better than anyone else? What, do you still want to fill in the grid?

"This..." Zhou Charter blushed. Minxiu may no longer be angry about the absurd thing in Tianjin Wubei School, but at the beginning, Zhou Charter used Zhao Qiaoer to refuse Gege's marriage, which was a great shame for the hall and Shuo Gege!

However, Minxiu swallowed this bitter fruit. Instead of rectifying Zhou Charter with the Empress Dowager, she disobeyed the Empress Dowager's decree and saved Zhou Charter's life. In terms of personality, this is much higher than Zhou Charter, which makes Zhou Charter ashamed.

Zhou Charter no longer dares to make noise in front of the cherry, so he has to say carefully: "Charter respects the motto. Charter can't go to greet Gege in person, and also asks Sister Cherry to give permission to let my brother Feng Guozhang greet me on my behalf.

Cherry nodded: "That's okay. Ge Ge asked Yoshio Asano to come to her with me. Brother Zhou, take care of yourself.

Feng Guozhang hurriedly greeted the soldiers, raised the marching bed, took Asano Yoshio, and left the bunker and went to Erlong Mountain.

Cai Tinggan lay in the corner of the bunker, with a quilt on his body. There was an observation hole on the corner. The sun shined on Cai Tinggan's pale face through the observation hole.

Zhou Charter went to the observation hole and looked out. It was quiet around and there was no wind on the sea. On the opposite Pearl Reef turret, a sun flag was weakly in the sun, and the two small gunboats were quietly moored in the harbor, quietly. In the sky, several seagulls flew by and made several calls.

A peaceful scene.

Zhou Charter bent down and saluted Cai Tinggan: "How is Chief Cai's injury?"

In the assault of Lushun Port, Cai Tingan's abdomen was injured and almost died. Fortunately, the Japanese army stored medicine on the Golden Mountain Fort. After a few days of treatment, it finally survived.

Cai Tinggan slowly raised his head and muttered, "I'm fine. Did the combined fleet retreat?

"Yes." Zhou Charter nodded: "I don't know what medicine is sold in the Japanese gourd."

"The Japanese don't sell medicine." Cai Tinggan said slowly, "The only thing that can force the joint fleet to retreat is the Beiyang Marine Division."

"Beiyang Mariner?" Zhou Charter was shocked: "You mean that the Beiyang Marine Division has participated in the war?"

Cai Tinggan nodded slowly.

However, the Qing Dynasty and Japan have signed an armistice agreement. The Beiyang Marine should deal with us jointly with the Japanese.

Cai Ting thought for a moment and gave a faint smile: "Master Zhou, it seems that you are not the only one with blood in the Qing Dynasty!"

Zhou Charter is relieved. In fact, in this New Year's battle, Zhang Jun was not alone from the beginning! There are Zhenfei in the Forbidden City, Minxiu Gege and Nie Shicheng on the battlefield, and even Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, also came in.

It seems that there are many people who are unwilling to lose to the Japanese. Wasn't Li Hongzhang the first to propose that Zhang Jun march into Lushun? Beiyang Marine is Li Hongzhang's man. It seems that Li Hongzhang has also secretly come in.

A soldier hurried into the bunker: "Le Division, the Japanese Xi Kuan Erlang Brigade has retreated!"

Another piece of good news!

"Where are they retreating?"

"They returned to Golden State."

"Golden State?" Zhou Charter asked, "What's the movement in that direction?"

"It's not clear yet. Erlongshan reported that Zhang Zuolin led people to follow the Japanese army to investigate and should be able to come back before dark.

"There is no need for reconnaissance." Zhou Charter laughed and said, "I'm sure that there must be a Qing army north of Jinzhou, and it's not a small army, but a large army!"

"How can I see it?" Hannagan asked.

"Lushun is Xikuan Erlang's way home. If he wants to die in Liaodong, the only way is to break through Erlong Mountain. If he has no choice, he will never withdraw his troops." Zhou Charter said, "There is only one possibility that his troops are now withdrawing. His troops are under the enemy, and Jinzhou is the only fortress he can rely on! Without Jinzhou, Xi Kuanjilang can only fight in the field. His troops are exhausted and will be defeated in the field!"

Hannagan's continuous doubts: "Minxiu Gege only brought 500 people here. Nie Shicheng's troops are fighting against Nai Mu Xidian and are unable to go south. Where will this Qing army come from?"

Cai Ting smiled and said, "Mr. Hannagan, isn't your God manifested? At this time, we sent troops to attack Jinzhou with the Qing army, and we will definitely eliminate Xikuan Erlang.

Zhou Charter muttered, "However, there are still 3,000 Japanese troops in front of us. Although they are not supported by naval guns, they are still a force that cannot be underestimated."

As he spoke, Li Guoge came in, followed by a Japanese lieutenant colonel.

Zhongzuo did not carry weapons. When he saw Zhou Charter, he stood up and saluted and said in Chinese: "General Zhou Charter, on behalf of General Dashanyan of the Second Army of the Empire of the Empire of Japan, I would like to pay tribute to General Zhou and Zhang's officers and soldiers!"

"What's going on?" Zhou Charter asked Li Guoge.

"He is here to negotiate." Li Guoge said.

Zhou Charter sneered: "Two days ago, Shenwei Guangchen has come, and we have nothing to talk about!"

Zhongzuo bowed and said, "General Zhou, what I want to talk about is not the same as what Shenwei Guangchen said. I'm not here to persuade him to surrender."

Is that right? Let's talk about it."

Zhongzuo's attitude is very humble: "At present, the two countries have stopped the armed conflict, and the two sides have turned war into jade and silk. General Dashanyan hopes to make friends with General Zhou. General Dashanyan knew that after eight days of fierce fighting, General Zhou's subordinates were very short of food, medicine and ammunition. For this reason, General Dashanyan ordered me to bring 3,000 kilograms of rice, 5,000 taels of silver worth of medicine, and 1,000 rifles, 10,000 bullets, and two mountain cannons. General Zhou, please accept it.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Charter laughed and said, "General Dashanyan armed his enemies. Do you want us to deal with you with your bullets?"

Zhongzuo said, "General Zhou, according to the agreement between the Japanese Empire and the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese army Ma* withdrew from Liaodong. Your empress dowager Buddha has declared Zhang Jun as a rebel. After the Japanese army withdrew, the Qing army must besiege Zhang Jun with all its strength, and after eight days of hard battle, Zhang Jun was exhausted and it was difficult to compete with the Qing army. General Dashanyan admired General Zhou very much and couldn't bear to see General Zhou being poisoned by the Qing army, so he sent weapons and ammunition. General Dashanyan believes that once Zhang Jun gets enough equipment, he will be able to stick to Liaodong.

Zhou Charter was very surprised. Just now, he beat him to death. In a blink of an eye, the Japanese actually sent gifts.
