Chapter 009 Retribution

More than a dozen officers and soldiers rushed to Armstrong's cannon, but before they approached the gun body, they were knocked down by dense bullets.

Zhang Jun, dressed in gray military uniform, rushed to the fort and surrounded the mountains and local governance.

It is no longer possible to remove the lock of the cannon. Around the mountain, there were only five wounded soldiers. They were surrounded by Zhang Jun in the core of the fort, holding a rifle that had been shot out, and stared at the tide of Zhang Jun.

A young officer held a pistol in one hand and a big knife in the other, facing the mountain and the local governance, with a sneer.

It was this officer who rushed into the gate from the pile of dead people.

"Are you the ruler of the mountain?" The young officer asked in fluent Japanese. His face was as cold as frost, but his eyes were hot flames.

"Not bad!" Yamachi knew that he could not hide it. He was the only officer with a * rank on the fort. This was the highest rank of the Japanese army in Lushun: "Who are you?"

"Week Charter!"

There was a trembling millet in the mountains and local governance. The name Zhou Charter was unknown to the Japanese army. Not long ago, at the combat meeting of the military department, Colonel Kamio Mitsuomi repeatedly mentioned the name. At that time, the name did not attract enough attention of the local governance of the mountain, and even did not attract the commander Dashanyan. Enough attention, although two Japanese major generals have died at the hands of Zhou Charter!

And today, a * will die in his hands again!

"No, you're lying! You are not Zhou Charter! Zhou Charter is in North Korea, and he can't come to Lushun!" The mountains and local people shouted hoarsely.

Zhou Charter shook his head with a sneer: "It doesn't matter who I am. The important thing is that Lushun has returned to the hands of the Chinese people!"

"You're lying!" The local government looked up to the sky and howled: "The army of the Qing Dynasty does not have such attack power! You are not the Qing army, you are the devil! Kill these demons! Kill them!"

Five wounded Japanese soldiers picked up bayonets and rushed to Zhang Jun without hesitation.

After a burst of guns, five Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

On the fort, there was only one Japanese left. As the top commander of the Japanese army, none of his subordinates survived.

The mountain and local governance still made a tragic cry: "Kill them! Kill them!"

Under the lead-clouded sky, snowflakes flew and dyed Lushun pale.

Zhou Charter shouted with a sneer, "Well, according to what you said, we are the devil!" Or, we are haunted!"

"The wronged soul? What a ghost!" The local governance stopped calling and looked at Zhou Charter in a stunned way.

Zhou Charter took out a pile of photos from his pocket and threw them to the local governance.

The photos fell on the side of the local governance, which were the elderly, women and children who were abused and killed in Lushun City. Each photo condensed countless grievances. Through these photos, the pain of their death was fixed in an instant, fixed on the golden mountain fort with snowflakes flying, fixed beside the side of the local governance of the mountain.

Heavy snow is flying and the wind is roaring.

The mountains and locals pulled out their swords and cut into the snowflakes flying all over the sky.

In his eyes, every snowflake is a ghost! Every cry of the wronged soul converges into a roaring wind!

"Don't come here! Don't come here!" The mountain local governance waved the sword crazily, and the sword danced wildly in the snowflakes, while the snowflakes became thicker and thicker, surrounded by the crazy mountain and local governance.

Yao Xi asked, "What is he doing?"

Zhou Charter said coldly, "He is being punished!"

The snowflakes flying all over the sky in front of the mountain and local governance have become countless incomplete figures. Each snowflakes are a erratic ghost, shouting for his life.

The sword of the mountain can't split the weak and crystal snowflakes. On the contrary, snowflakes stick to the sword and fall on the body of the mountain.

The mountain and his arms were sore, and the snowflakes condensed on the sword. The sword became heavier and heavier, but the snowflakes that fell on him, like flames, penetrated into his body, eroding his body and devouring his soul.

Shan Zhizhi suddenly let out a wolf-like howling, spitting a mouthful of blood, and fell straight into the snow and stopped breathing.

His eyes were wide open, full of despair and fear.

The mountain was killed, and his body was covered with a wronged soul, and he could never be born!

Zhou Charter knelt to the ground facing the northeast.

To the northeast of the Golden Mountain Fort is Lushun City under heavy snow. It used to be Lushun City, which was once known as Little Oriental Hong Kong, but now it is a dead city that even doesn't go to wild dogs. Three months ago, 30,000 innocent civilians in the city died in the hands of the mountains and local people.

"Fathers, the Charter has avenged you!"

The wind roared, and the snow became more and more fierce. The weak and crystal snowflakes soon covered the corpses of the mountain.

On the Lushunkou waterway, the hurriedly escaped cargo ship sailed to the sea against the strong wind. The first cargo ship had approached the exit of the waterway.

Zhou Charter shouted: "Calib the cannon immediately, block the Lushunkou waterway, and don't let them run away!"

There are a total of 15 long-range guns on the Golden Mountain Fort. In addition to the two 30cm Armstrong cannons, there are also German 15cm cannons, 8cm vault guns, and 15cm mortars. These guns are laid in their respective permanent fortifications and have not been damaged during the whole attack.

However, Zhang's soldiers have never touched such a cannon.

......

In the Bohai Strait and the Miao Island Islands, the sky is cloudy and the visibility on the sea is very low.

Cai Tinggan stood in the command module of the "Fulong" torpedo boat and looked at the foggy sea outside the cabin with vigilance.

Behind the side of the Fulong, three torpedo boats set up a zigzag queue and followed the Fulong. They have serial numbers one on the left, two on the left and three on the left.

The torpedo boat force of the Beiyang Marine Division originally had 13 ships, but only six can really be used for fighting at sea. They are divided into two left and right teams, three left teams, numbered one on the left two and three on the left, and three right teams, and numbered one on the right one, right two and three on the right. In addition, after Fulong was transferred to the Beiyang Marine Division, he joined The torpedo boat formation, but still used the original name.

The base of the torpedo boat force was in Lushun. On the eve of the loss of Lushun, because the Beiyang Marine Division was severely damaged, it could not compete with the Japanese combined fleet and adopted the strategy of avoiding war and defending the ship, and the whole army retreated into Weihaiwei. The torpedo boat troops in Lushun had to give up the base and fled to Weihaiwei with the main force of the fleet.

lost his hometown without firing a shot, causing a heavy damage to the morale of the torpedo boat troops!

Last night, also on New Year's Eve in China, Liu Bu Toad quietly boarded the Fulong and gave the order to captain Cai Tinggan to attack Lushun.

This order is not from the court or from Admiral Ding Ruchang of the Beiyang Marine Division, but only Liu Buchan's personal order.

According to reason, Liu Buchan is only a right-wing general, Dingyuan's naval belt. Although his position is second only to Ding Ruchang, he still has no right to mobilize ships, especially independent torpedo boat troops.

However, the pipes of the eight torpedo boats under the Fulong tacitly acquiesced to Liu Bu toad.

8 torpedo boats quietly sailed out of the harbor in the night.

However, as soon as the Fulong and the left torpedo boats left team sailed out of the harbor, the shadow of four cruisers of the Japanese Combined Fleet appeared on the right side of the formation.

This is a maritime guerrilla detachment from Sasebo military port in Japan. The flagship is the main battleship Yoshino of the Japanese army.

The main force of the joint fleet cooperated with the army's landing operation in Rongcheng Bay. In order to prevent the escape of the Beiyang Marine Division in the Weihai Guard Port, the navy sent a guerrilla detachment with Yoshino as the flagship to quietly ambush outside the Weihai Guard Port and blocked the exit of Weihai Guard Port.

The torpedo boat troops fought directly with the cruisers, which is tantamount to hitting stones.

Liu Buqian had no choice but to order Cai Tinggan to lead the left team. Before the Japanese guerrilla team was aware of it, they hurried to the Miao Island Islands and hid near South Changshan Island, while the four torpedo boats of the right team had not yet leave the port and had to return by the same way.

In this way, there were only 4 of the eight torpedo boats that originally attacked Lushun.

At 6 a.m., the sky was bright and the sea rose with mist.

4 torpedo boats carefully left South Changshan Island and drove north along the Changshan Channel.

There are more than a dozen waterways in the Bohai Strait, the most important of which are Changshan Waterway, Laotieshan Waterway and Dengzhou Waterway.

Among them, the Laotieshan waterway is 83 meters deep and 42 meters wide, and can pass through large ships. Dengzhou waterway is the shallowest, with a depth of only 10-30 meters.

When walking the old iron mountain waterway, you may encounter large Japanese cruisers, and the Dengzhou waterway is shallow, which is not conducive to the navigation of the torpedo boat troops. Therefore, the torpedo boat troops chose the Changshan waterway.

The Changshan waterway is 6.9 kilometers wide and 17-30 meters deep, which is suitable for torpedo boats. However, due to the narrow water surface, once you encounter an enemy ship, you cannot avoid it. The only way is to launch an attack before the enemy ship.

And to do this, we must first find the enemy ship.

In the waterway, the fog was hazy, and the officers and soldiers on the four torpedo boats widened their eyes and stared nervously at the sea.

Behind Cai Tinggan, Liu Bu toad's cough sounded. Since he boarded the Fulong, Liu Bu toad's spirit has not been very good. It seems that he has caught a cold.

Cai Ting hurriedly turned around and wanted to kneel down to salute.

Liu Bu toad waved his hand to stop Cai Ting from kneeling.

Liu Bu toad said coldly, "I think the happiest time of your life should be in the United States."

Cai Ting nodded: "How does Lord Liu know?"

"In the United States, you never have to kneel to anyone, including their president."

Cai Ting smiled dryly: "This is probably a different national situation."

"Is it just that the national conditions are different?"

Cai Ting looked at Liu Bu toad and muttered.

"Cai Guandai, I am on this vast ocean with you. Once you meet a Japanese cruiser, you and I will be on the line. At this time, don't you want to tell me the truth?" Liu Bu Toad coughed twice and soaked heavy sweat on his forehead.
