Chapter 015 Meeting

As a result of gambling, God stood on Cai Tinggan's side.

In other words, God has stood on the side of the Beiyang Marine Division for the first time since the start of the war in the Qing Dynasty.

Fulong advanced at full speed, rushed to a distance of 150 meters from the Wave Speed, and entered the torpedo attack range. The Chicheng has sunk, while the Wave Speed and the purple heavy artillery are still concentrating their fire to bombard the Golden Mountain Fort.

A sharp alarm sounded on the Wave Speed, and the two port guns fired their tongues at the torpedo boat.

The dense shell hit the command module of the Fulong, and the shell hit the helmsman's chest. The whole body flew up and hit the back deck heavily, and the cracked blood sprinkled all over the command module.

Cai Ting rushed to the front of the rudder, held the rudder desperately, and then shouted: "Left and right torpedo tubes, shoot together!"

Two torpedoes jumped into the sea with a roar, splitting the sea, like two dragons, roaring towards the fast wave.

Another series of cannon shells shot into the command module, and the officers and soldiers flew flesh and died. Cai Tinggan's abdomen suffered a hot pain, and then collapsed.

The torpedo boat, which lost its direction control, rushed to the Wave Speed at full speed.

However, the enemy 50 meters away from the Wavespeed, Fulong suddenly turned sharply to the left, drew a beautiful arc on the port side of the Wavespeed, and galloped south.

Liu Bu Toad held the blood-stained rudder to avoid the head-on collision between Fulong and Langsu.

Wavespeed turned the rudder and struggled to avoid the two torpedoes launched by Fulong. Two torpedoes dragged the water line and rushed to the beach.

However, Zuo Yi flashed from behind the Fulong and launched a second round of attack on the Wave Speed. Another two torpedoes jumped into the sea and rushed to the Wave Speed at a distance of 80 meters from the Wave Speed.

The helmsman of the Wavespeed stayed beside the rudder in despair and stopped turning the rudder.

Because he knows that any struggle is futile.

After avoiding two torpedoes, the Wavespeed could no longer move under the great inertia.

And the two torpedoes on the sea are close at hand.

There are also two torpedoes that follow behind the two torpedoes, which were launched by the enemy's third torpedo boat.

Uninterrupted ladder torpedo attack, which is almost impossible in conventional naval battles. Because it is impossible for three torpedo boats to cross the fire blockade circle of the cruiser at the same time.

And today, the Waves quickly put four torpedo boats in.

Two loud noises, followed by two loud noises.

Two torpedoes hit the bow of the Wavespeed one after another, one torpedo hit the abdomen of the Wavespeed, and the most deadly one directly hit the Wavespeed ammunition depot.

In the deafening explosion, the flames reflected the dark sea.

The Waves disintegrated. The most proud heavy cruiser of the joint fleet, together with more than 300 crew members on the ship, including Colonel Heihachiro Higashigo, the future star of the Imperial Japanese Navy, turned into fragments.

At the same time, No. 3 on the left fired a torpedo at the Chikushi. The Chikushi had already been seriously injured and the ship was seriously tilted. The torpedo of the left 3 gave it the last blow. The Chikushi freed the sea in the explosion of the torpedo and fell into the sea without emerging again.

Less than 15 minutes ago, the three Japanese ships that reinforced Lushun Island sank.

This is a blitz, and the Qing Dynasty won a complete victory.

This blitz proves that the Qing Dynasty's defense design for Lushun Port is correct. Under the attack of land and sea, anyone who dares to launch a direct attack on Lushun Port from the sea will face extinction.

It is not the fort that is wrong, but the will of the defender.

The Qing Dynasty should not have lost Lushun so easily.

In the command module of the Fulong, there was a mess.

As the first ship, Fulong was hit by the wave speed sideboard cannon. In the command module, 15 crew members, including the first officer, were killed in action, and Cai Ting, the captain, was seriously injured.

Although the torpedo it launched did not hit the target, it was because of the brave charge of the Fulong that it covered the follow-up torpedo boats and won valuable fighters for the left one and left two torpedo boats.

Two sailors are dressing Cai Tinggan.

Cai Tinggan lay on the deck and made a faint voice: "Dongxiangjun!"

"Board Cai, don't forget that he was the one who ordered to fire at Gao Sheng in the Battle of Fengdao! We are taking revenge on our raised brothers!" Liu Bu toad said coldly.

Cai Tinggan let out a long sigh.

The hatred of war can only be resolved by death!

Liu Bu Toad held the blood-stained rudder and issued a combat order: "Turn on all the searchlights and fire!"

Four torpedo boats set out from the south to the north line, and a huge beam of searchlights threw into the reefs, where the landing Japanese army gathered.

Four torpedo boats, with a total of eight machine guns, roared at the same time to the reef.

Under the strong light of the searchlight, the burst reef, together with the broken arms of Japanese officers and soldiers, splashed everywhere.

The 2,000 Japanese army originally wanted to use the reef bushes as a bridgehead and wait for the night attack on the Golden Mountain Fort after dark.

However, as soon as it got dark, they watched the Waves sink to the bottom of the sea. Then, before they could react, they were hit ruthlessly from the sea.

The beaches and reefs are too narrow to be completely under the control of torpedo boat firepower.

Whether it is hiding behind the reef or rushing out of the reef and fleeing to the beach, the Japanese army can't escape this deadly attack.

Groups of Japanese officers and soldiers were swallowed up by the flames of machine guns.

On the beach, it became a slaughterhouse.

Finally, more than 500 Japanese troops rushed out of the beach and fled to the hillside, away from the fire range of the machine guns.

However, before they could take a breath, there were dense gunfire and shouts behind them.

Countless soldiers rushed down the hillside with bright bayonets.

Zhou Charter personally led the troops on the Golden Mountain Fort to launch a counterattack.

When Zhou Charter saw the four ships at sea level, he realized that the reinforcements had arrived.

In a letter to him, Zhenfei once said, "When Jiaolong jumps out of the eastern sea, it is the day of Zhang Jun's success." Now, aren't the four torpedo boats flying dragon flags the dragons of the East?

Zhou Charter did not hesitate to issued an order to counterattack.

The Zhang army attacked the beach with a total of two companies, nearly 500 people, which is similar to the Japanese army. However, the Japanese army was severely damaged on the beach and was shocked. There was no guard against them, while Zhang Jun came prepared and launched a rapid and resolute raid on the Japanese army.

The 500 Japanese soldiers who fled up the hillside were caught off guard and more than 100 people were knocked down before they could meet the war. The rest launched a close battle with Zhang Jun.

In the melee, the Japanese army showed another disadvantage in equipment. Zhang Jun's Type 88 combo rifle had strong firepower. He hit the magazine and immediately pulled out the pistol to shoot. The pistol bullets were shot out, so he picked up the bayonet and started to fight.

When Zhang's officers and soldiers needed to use bayonets, there were few left for the Japanese army.

There is no doubt about the result of the battle.

All five hundred Japanese soldiers died on the hillside.

Other landing Japanese troops were blocked in the reefs by the cannons of torpedo boats and never escaped.

The sound of guns gradually subsided, and the searchlights on the torpedo boat swept the beach.

Under the light, there are incomplete bodies everywhere.

The blue sea surged to the beach and turned blood red when it retreated.

The tide returned to the sea with the bodies of the Japanese army.

Perhaps some of them are lucky enough to be brought back to their hometown by the Japanese islands by the sea.

The battle is not over yet.

Feng Guozhang personally led the team and took two companies to attack the Pearl Reef Fort and Dapo Mountain Fort in the night.

The Japanese army on these two forts was already weak, and they suffered serious losses in the daytime battle. When Feng Guozhang's troops attacked under the fort, the defenders on the fort were overstret. Feng Guozhang took two mountain cannons and bombarded the gate of the fort with mountain cannons.

After an hour of fierce fighting, Zhang Jun occupied the Pearl Reef Fort and the Dapo Mountain Fort.

Immediately, Liu Buqian commanded the torpedo boat troops to rush into Lushun Port.

Zhou Charter led the winning division and also launched an attack on Lushun Port.

In Lushun Port, there was no danger to defend, and the remaining more than 200 Japanese troops made the final resistance with the ruins.

Under the attack of both land and sea, the resistance of the Japanese army soon collapsed.

All the Japanese troops were killed in battle, and no one was taken prisoner - Zhou Charter had already ordered not to be captured.

At three o'clock in the morning, Zhang Jun occupied all the military port of Lushun, and Lushun finally returned to the Chinese.

Now, in Lushun, only two small land defense forts in the distance are still in the hands of the Japanese.

However, these remaining Japanese troops cannot pose any threat to Lushun Port.

When the sky was bright, Zhou Charter and Liu Buqian met on the dock.

Liu Bu Toad showed Zhou Charter a warrant from the Forbidden City, and Zhou Charter showed Liu Bu Toad a letter from Zhenfei.

The handwriting of the two letters is exactly the same.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

......

The same night fell on the Linjin River in North Korea.

The battle lasted for a whole day.

At six o'clock in the morning, under the cover of intensive artillery, more than 100 ferries loaded with a Japanese army carrying a brigade launched a fierce attack on Wenshan Ferry on the river within two kilometers. At the same time, the Japanese launched an attack in Jiuhuali and Ma Zhili.

The Japanese army soon broke through the Wenshan ferry and established a bridgehead on the north bank of the Linjin River. The Japanese army braved the artillery fire of the Zhang army and transported more than 2,000 officers and soldiers across the river.

The Japanese army has seen that Qingqiu is the location of Zhangjun's headquarters. The Japanese army across the river took the situation to attack Qingqiu, trying to capture Qingqiu and completely destroy Zhangjun's command system.

The troops stationed on Qingqiu have only one battalion of the Second Regiment, led by the head of the regiment, Nahawu. The Japanese offensive was fierce, and Qingqiu was besieged by the Japanese army on three sides. Fortunately, Luo Mingfang deployed three Gatlin machine guns on Qingqiu, and the powerful firepower made the Japanese army unable to raise its head and strongly resisted the crazy attack of the Japanese army.

However, the Japanese army occupied the Wenshan Ferry, and reinforcements continued to cross the Linjin River, causing more and more pressure on Qingqiu.

If this continues, Qingqiu will inevitably be lost.
