Ding Ruchang nodded and said, "Now it seems that it can be the same. The Beiyang Navy has been operating the ahava military port for more than ten years. If it is lost in the hands of the Beiyang Navy, I can also kill myself."
Ding Ruchang toward the surface drink a way "you all listen to clear? Now the situation is urgent, and ahava is in danger of subversion at any time. I order all ship belts to stand by for warships at any time, so don’t leave your post! Order the logistics department to open all mines in the military port and arrange torpedoes along the periphery of ahava to delay the Japanese navy’s attack. Order all warships to prepare ammunition for the final inspection, and be ready for the Japanese to fight a decisive battle at any time. Everyone should hurry to prepare without delay! "
Chapter one hundred and thirteen Cloud Weihai a bloody battle
Beiyang Navy was in full swing, and Zhang Yi rushed back to ahava Nanbang Fort without stopping.
At this time, Xu Huaijin is also nervously coordinating the military deployment of various ministries. Now Moqi Zhang Enyuan and Ba Gen have joined forces to attack the 37th Infantry Wing of the Fourth Division, which has been defeated. The soldiers have retreated for more than ten miles, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the Japanese Fourth Division, while the battle in Baima River is relatively silent. On the other side, the Japanese army is not in a hurry to attack, but has set up fortifications on the other side of Baima River. In Hushan, China and Japan were caught in a bitter battle. Both sides invested most of the elite soldiers in the war, and the infantry was continuously transferred to Hushan for a large-scale attack. However, Ling Qing and Duan Qirui attacked the Japanese army for three consecutive days from the layout of fortifications. Although the new army suffered a lot of casualties, it has been a conservative position for a long time.
Now the Japanese Fourth Division has recovered from Yuan Shikai’s war, and for a long time, Samata ordered three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a cavalry regiment to start together and pounce on ahava.
It’s more than 200 miles from Yantai to Weihai, and it’s urgent to March all the way. At most, it’s three days away, and there’s not much time for Zhang Yicong to arrange.
Zhang Yiling said, "Command the Cang Lang detachment to attack the Japanese army from Yantai Weihai all the way, delay the Japanese army’s marching speed, and command the Ba Gen cavalry battalion to make a quick dash all the way. The Cang Lang detachment should cooperate with the main force of the Japanese Fourth Division as much as possible. Remember not to be entangled by the Japanese cavalry wing; Order Hushan Lingqing Baima River Wu Peifu to withdraw from the positions of the two places at noon, and stand by for orders. Immediately, Li Bingheng’s army department will dispatch a day to carry out the weapons and equipment of Weihai battery, and then dismantle Weihai Port battery. All heavy artillery infantry guns can be transported away, not transported away, blown up on the spot, and never left to Japan! Command MoQi department rushed to Wendeng area knot on standby; Order the nearby state and county garrison to quickly stand by for Wendeng! "
Zhang Yi’s orders were methodically reached.
Zhang Peilun’s newspaper was sent to the capital, and Li Hongzhang was full of panic with it. He didn’t expect Yuan Shikai to be so vulnerable that he couldn’t hold it in just over ten days. Zhang Yi just arrived in Shandong, and local officials didn’t see it again. How can he command the Shandong Strategic Bureau?
Zhang Yi’s letters were also sent to Li Hongzhang’s hand with Zhang Peilun’s newspaper. Li Hongzhang stamped his feet even more urgently. This is so good. If Zhang Yi really gives up the arrangement of a shocking life and death in Weihai, ahava, his own black yarn will be pressed here. Once he fails, don’t say that Zhang Yi is himself. The position of Beiyang Minister and Zhili Governor can’t sit still
But what can we do now? Things are developing too fast. As soon as the Japanese army came, two divisions and two main forces in Shandong, Li Bingheng and Yuan Shikai, successively lost in Shandong. Now there are only a handful of soldiers who can fight in Shandong. If Zhang Yi does not follow his deployment, Zhang Yi will never be able to stop so many Japanese troops from attacking everywhere, and it is very likely that they will point their troops at Beijing and be the first scapegoat.
Li Hongzhang has been thinking about the pros and cons for a long time, so he agreed to Zhang Yi’s strategic deployment. If ahava is destroyed, it will be destroyed. This matter is expected that he can still hold down the war ahead, so he can resolve it. What he can do now is to ask all gods and buddhas to bless Zhang Jian and successfully annihilate the Japanese army.
Just in case, Li Hongzhang ordered Song Qing’s army from various ministries in Beijing to closely guard the city and monitor all the passes, so that small Japanese troops could not enter Zhili territory.
In his article, Li Hongzhang also warned Zhang Yi to be cautious and try to win with one blow, and not to give the Japanese army a chance to fight back.
Zhang Yi got Li Hongzhang’s literary heart to detain and be steadfast. With Li Hongzhang’s support behind him, he was afraid.
Zhang Yi took less than two days to carry the ordnance of ahava Fort.
The cavalry battalion in Ba Gen, Cang Lang, in front is still clinging to the snipers. The Japanese army’s advancing pace has entangled the Japanese army in Yantai.

张毅令所有部队部撤离南帮炮台北帮炮台
傍晚时分黑木桢终于登了威海卫南帮炮台是映入他眼帘却是一片废墟哪里还有一尊大炮炮台一切武器都已经拆除了弹药也没有剩什么能够看到就仅仅是这几个土疙瘩
黑木桢心中一阵气苦自己努力十几天时好不易才占领了威海卫炮台竟然成了一堆废墟这还能来打仗吗?这群该死支那猪!
黑木桢奈急忙令部署威海卫南北炮台防御命人连夜休整炮台安置大炮所幸自己袭击即墨海阳时缴获了一些大炮中还有几尊重炮安置一番也能凑合着黑木桢一阵布置忙活完了都已经进入了深夜
第二天中午时候第四师团主力佐久左马太率领也陆续进入了北帮炮台赶来面见黑木桢
佐久左马太说道“黑木君此处什么被清军破坏如此严重这这还能来战吗?连炮台都损坏了这些清军就不知道心疼这群败家!”
黑木桢冷笑一答道“佐久阁很显清军拆毁了威海卫所有炮台甚将炮台都破坏了这显就是拖延我们进攻北洋海军缓兵计我们需要中所有兵力尽快修复炮台工事安置重炮设法通知帝国海军对北洋海军进行夹攻尽早除去北洋海军这颗肉中刺、眼中钉帝国扩大战争做好准备!”
Satoshi Samata nodded and said, "You said it makes sense. I’ll let the fourth division participate in the fort fortifications restoration project to repair all fortifications as soon as possible and prepare for the war!"
Heimuzhen said, "I still have one thing to discuss with you now, that is, if we attack the Beiyang Navy here, the cavalry will have no place at all. I mean, our two cavalry regiments are in one place and ordered them to leave the main force alone and March westward through Jinan and Dezhou to Beijing. Two thousand elite cavalry can pose a great threat to Beijing!"
Zuojiu Samata clapped his hands and praised him and shouted, "Give him a straight shot at Huanglong if it’s good!"
Chapter one hundred and fourteen The siege of ahava!
The idea of black wooden frame cavalry advancing made Zuojiu Samata clap his hands and admire. Two people unanimously agreed that the cavalry regiment should be merged to form a cavalry brigade. More than 2,000 people led by the captain of the cavalry regiment, Fu Gang Tianyou, rushed straight to Jinan and rushed to Beijing via Dezhou.
The rest of the ministries stepped up their efforts to repair fortifications and prepare to besiege the Beiyang Navy Fleet. I didn’t know that it would take two to three days for ahava Fort to repair the heavy artillery after mantis catching cicadas and yellowbirds. Zhang Yi and Xu Huaijin dispatched troops when they were full.
Two days later, Yuan Shikai and Dong Fuxiang led their respective troops to the counties near JiWendeng, and there were more than a thousand troops in Zhang Yi’s Xu Huaijin’s department. Yuan Shikai’s remnants are 6,000 people; Dong Fuxiang’s main force is 5,000; There are 6,000 troops stationed in nearby counties, totaling more than 25,000 troops, which have far exceeded the Japanese troops of less than 20,000 troops.
Zhang Yi and Xu Huaijin went to turnip and left the local garrison with the best troops, leaving nearly 2,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the reserve force to take charge of logistics. A total of nearly 24,000 people participated in this large-scale battle to encircle the Japanese army.
Yuan Shikai’s Huai Army attacked the North Fort from the north and Dong Fuxiang Ganjun attacked the North Fort from the south; Zhang Yi himself led the third battalion in the middle, and Xu Huaijin led Li Bingheng’s remnant troops to block the Japanese army’s southern retreat from the south and attack the southern battery soldiers in four ways to completely surround the whole ahava.
By the time Kuroki Sadako Samata was shocked, Zhang Yi had completed the strategic deployment and put nearly 20,000 Japanese main forces into his pocket.
At present, Samata has finally understood that Zhang Yi gave up the strategic intention of ahava Fort. This is for fear that the Japanese troops will be scattered, plundered and attacked everywhere, and they will dig traps, just waiting for the Japanese main force to step in and kill the superior troops in one fell swoop!
Kuroki Sadako Samata’s face is gloomy. This is the most crucial battle since the Sino-Japanese war. A little carelessness is not allowed. If it is not handled properly, the army will be wiped out and there will be no survival. Once it is defeated, the empire will be weakened and there will be no ability to continue fighting.
Hei Muzhen sneered and said, "Since Zhang Yi’s Chinese tiger wants to have a big game, let’s play with her. Although the Qing army is dominant, its military quality is far inferior to our army. Let’s have a good fight with the elite Qing army. The main fleet of the imperial navy should also arrive in these two days. It’s land and sea, eat beiyang fleet first, and then turn around to deal with the Qing army to lay the foundation for victory!"
Zuojiu Samata nodded, and now there is no better way to step up preparations for the Qing army to do or die.
It was when the Qing army didn’t give the Japanese a break, and when the Japanese army just reinforced the battery and heavy artillery.
Zhang Yiling made the Fourth Route Qing Army launch a fierce offensive against the Japanese army together.
Nowadays, the Qing army has received a steady stream of weapons and ammunition from all over the country. There are enough ammunition to prepare weapons. Four groups of people have gathered more than 100 Krupp heavy guns and launched the most violent shelling against the Japanese army
The damage to the Japanese army caused by the shelling of several troops due to lack of training and poor shooting skills is not very serious, but the most important thing is that Zhang Yi’s third battalion artillery battalion returned from North Korea with excellent artillery skills, and the fire damage caused by one artillery battalion of the Japanese army is almost equivalent to the sum of his three battalions!
In just one afternoon, the four-way troops of the Qing army poured more than 2,000 shells at the ahava Fort. Zhang Yi was cruel. In the shortest time, the Japanese army occupied the fort and destroyed it. The fort was desperately beaten out! The situation of Beibang Fort is slightly better, because the artillery skill of Dong Fuxiang Yuan Shikai’s army is slightly worse, and the destructive power to ahava Fort is slightly less.
Nanbang Fort will be miserable. The artillery shells of the reorganization artillery battalion of the third battalion are like eyes. They are stationed at the key position of the Japanese army. The officers and men of the sixth division stationed at Nanbang Fort are complaining. Heimuzhen finally saw the Chinese tiger for the first time. Among many Japanese generals, Heimuzhen is good at attacking by leaps and bounds. But now he has fallen into the encirclement of the positional warfare and the Qing army. His specialty can no longer be brought into play. She is so anxious that she can pray for the imperial navy to come and kill it quickly. The imperial navy can solve the problem of the Beiyang Navy’s unobstructed flow and call for more troops to help at any time.
At the same time, the two divisions of the Japanese army supported the Imperial Navy in the next few days to fight against the Beiyang Navy. Many heavy artillery batteries were directly installed and fixed. Krupp heavy artillery tried to turn around and fight the Qing army, but it was very inconvenient for the Japanese army to lose its strongest firepower and rely on a small number of Krupp heavy artillery batteries to meet the disadvantages. It showed that the Japanese army suffered serious losses in just one afternoon, and several heavy artillery batteries were blown up.
Samata lost his cool and made an unforgivable mistake when he was short of breath. Since time waits for no one, he should attack Beiyang Navy in his current battle. I hope Beiyang Navy’s firepower is easier to deal with.
It’s fair weather, but we haven’t waited for the arrival of the imperial navy. The main force of Beiyang Navy in ahava military port has also begun shelling. Ding Ruchang ordered a dozen main warships to approach the two major divisions of the Japanese army on both sides of the strait, and there were guys behind them. A dozen warships placed cannons of various calibers, totaling 100 doors, and opened fire on the Japanese battery together with large-caliber heavy machine guns.
Unfortunately, the two divisions of the Japanese army haven’t tasted the taste of the Imperial Navy attacking the Beiyang Navy on both sides, and they were first attacked by the Beiyang Navy of the Qing Army. This kind of taste is really unbearable.
Beiyang Navy Zhang Yi’s four-way army formed a perfect closed loop and began to attack the Japanese army on all sides. It is extremely difficult for the Japanese army to find a hidden strategic fulcrum in ahava military port. It can expose the heavy artillery of the Japanese army, and the casualties of the Japanese army have risen sharply. Samata is distressed and annoyed. Now that he is surrounded by the Qing army, he can blame himself for his eagerness to see the game and make contributions.
Just as Zhang Yi commanded more than 20,000 people to step up the siege of the army, Zhang Enyuan rushed in and shouted, "Instructor instructor!"
Zhang Yi turned around and asked, "What’s the matter with Eun-won?"
Chapter one hundred and fifteen Arrived at Weihai Port
Zhang Enyuan replied, "At noon, the instructor led Cang Lang’s brothers to detect the enemy’s situation all the time, but unexpectedly, we have never found the trace of the Japanese cavalry regiment, and now the Japanese army is caught in a passive line and should send cavalry to attack our position and relieve its huge pressure."
Zhang Yi’s face changed and asked, "Eun-won, do you mean that the Japanese cavalry regiment is not in ahava?"
Zhang Enyuan replied, "Instructor, at least so far, we haven’t found the shadow of Japanese cavalry and we haven’t heard horses neighing."
Zhang Yi stamped his foot and said, "If it is broken, it must be that the Japanese soldiers are divided into two groups of cavalry and rushed to Jinan! Let Ba Gen come to see me immediately! "
In a moment, Ba Gen rushed to the scene. This war is because it is difficult for the cavalry to exert their great power in the offensive and defensive battles. Zhang Yi has been hiding the snow in Ba Gen. There is no exclusive cavalry field to make Ba Gen sweat.
At this time, Zhang Yizhao rushed into Zhang Yi’s command post like a whirlwind in Ba Gen and shouted, "Instructors, instructors should send us!"
He rushed into the command post and saw Zhang Yi’s surly face and stayed with Zhang Yi for a long time. Ba Gen knew that Zhang Yi’s eyebrows could not be easily touched at this time, otherwise it would be a disaster. The whole Cang Lang camp leader, except Xu Huaijin, together with Zhang Yihu, had not been scolded by Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi saw Ba Gen keep his mouth shut and said, "It’s time for you to play in Ba Gen, but it’s not here. Now it’s not clear where the Japanese cavalry regiment has arrived in the west, but it’s most likely that the Japanese army will cross the rubicon and order the cavalry regiment to March north directly to Beijing to coerce the court to sign the city alliance. Your biggest thing now is to go straight to Dezhou. When the Japanese army enters Zhili territory, it will stop the Japanese army at the last time and stop it before arriving in Tongzhou. You are not familiar with the terrain in Shandong Zhili area. Let Li Yingnian fight with you and let him lead the way and act quickly!"
Ba Gen, knowing that the situation was serious, bent down and went out from the headquarters, and ordered the cavalry Li Yingnian to catch up with the main force of the Japanese cavalry regiment.
Zhang Yi continued to command the Qing army to besiege the Japanese main force. When the Sino-Japanese war was in full swing, the Japanese main fleet began to approach ahava.
At sunset, the Japanese main fleet of more than 30 large and small ships were dispatched together to approach the ahava military port, and Ito Sukeyuki, the naval commander, sat firmly on the flagship. He had already got the information from the Japanese army on the north and south forts in ahava, and he led the main naval fleet to attack the ahava military port. Now Beiyang Navy has become a turtle in the jar.
Ito Sukeyuki began to make a dream of bombing Beiyang Navy Department to the bottom of the sea.
As the Japanese navy approached, a scout suddenly came running and said, "Report to the Commander’s Pavilion that a number of mines have been found in the waters in front of us. It is estimated that the entire periphery of the ahava military port has been arranged, which has seriously hindered the speed of our fleet!"
Ito Sukeyuki heart in a surprised mine? The whole ahava military port is full of mines? How is this possible? This is the lair of Beiyang Navy. Once it is full of mines, not only the Japanese army enters ahava, but also the Beiyang Navy can’t be stationed here. Once the mines are triggered, the main warships will suffer huge losses!
Ito Sukeyuki urgent way "immediately sent a minesweeper to clear the mine in front, and at the same time told the warships to take strict precautions not to punish the mine damage. The warship ordered the guerrilla formation to advance by steps before the main fleet passed through the waters as quickly as possible!
Just as they were arranging, the signalman reported to Ito Sukeyuki, "The Takano, the front of the Commander’s Pavilion, sent a message. They found a large smoke in ahava and a gun loomed as if there was a war!"
Ito Sukeyuki’s heart sank and he faintly felt bad. The only explanation for the war in ahava at this time is that the main Japanese Beiyang Navy has launched a war. Now I am afraid that Samata has fallen into the siege of the Beiyang Navy of the Qing Army. If he does not get there as soon as possible, he is afraid that the front will be run.
Ito Sukeyuki told all ships to move forward carefully, and increase speed as much as possible to support the Imperial Army of ahava!
The Japanese main fleet has just adjusted its formation, and the signalman shouted, "Commander Pavilion, we have found the trace of the Great Qing Navy, which is less than five nautical miles away from our army!"
Ito Sukeyuki’s spirit vibrated and asked, "How many Qing ships are there in front?"
