Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Everyone looked at Dashanyan one after another, and Motoji Yamaji asked, "What idea did you think of?"

Da Shanyan said: "We might as well use offense as defense and attack Jinzhou directly."

Shandi Motoji said: "The Qing army still has 3000 defenders in Jinzhou. In Ningyuan, Shanhaiguan can still mobilize about 1 troops. We are likely to face the problem of insufficient troops. Should we transfer the second division from Lushun? come over."

Da Shanyan said: "It is a long way from Lushun to Jinzhou. I am afraid that the transfer will not be able to catch up. So I think that the second division of Lushun will directly attack Jinzhou from the sea, and the location is Jinzhou Bay."

Nogi Nozomi said: "Why don't we attack Dagukou directly from the sea, so that we can capture Tianjin and go all the way to Beijing!"

Takashi Imazu finally found an opportunity, and said disdainfully: "If we capture Beijing, those Western monsters should jump out and point fingers again! I don't know what happened. After the British defeated the Beiyang Fleet, they He ran to Hong Kong and hid, and he didn’t ask the Qing government any harsh conditions.”

Nogi Noki looked at Imazu Takashi and thought: "You, the captain of the artillery regiment, dare to answer my questions. Artillery, heh, if you don't have the protection of infantry, you will be finished soon on the battlefield!"

Yamaji Motoji also said: "According to our information, there is one Sovereign-class battleship missing from the British fleet. I don't know where it went. In the battle with the Beiyang Fleet, no British fleet sank."

Da Shanyan said: "Not only the British are surprised, but the French and Germans are also very strange. It stands to reason that the Germans have been coveting Jiaozhou Bay for a long time, and they fought a war with the Chinese a while ago. They said they would send troops a few months ago. I taught the Chinese people a lesson, but for some reason, after entering the South China Sea, they all went home."

What they don't know is that this is also the credit of the self-propelled mines on the Beijing ship.

Da Shanyan said: "We don't care about them, I will announce the order next!"

Everyone stopped talking, straightened up, and waited for his order.

Da Shanyan said: "I ordered the First Infantry Brigade to march towards Jinzhou and wait for an opportunity to attack Jinzhou. I ordered the No.18 Wing under the command of the First Brigade to hold on to Panjin for rest and wait for the attack. I ordered the Second Division to do a good job. Prepare, wait for the opportunity to land from Jinzhou Bay, cut off the connection between Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and attack the North and South with the First Brigade to take Jinzhou."

Takashi Imatsu said: "General, only the first brigade will attack Jinzhou. Will there be insufficient troops? Should we also mobilize Changtu's second brigade?"

Da Shanyan said: "The Second Brigade will not be transferred for the time being, I am worried that the Russians will take advantage of the situation and loot."

Da Shanyan looked at the head of the second brigade, Nishi Kuan Erlang, and said, "Go back to Changtu now and closely monitor the movements of the Russians. If the Russians attack Fengtian from Changchun along the post road, then we will be very passive."

Nogi Nozomi has long heard the implication of Imazu Takanori's implication that he wants to transfer the second brigade, which is clearly saying that our first brigade's combat effectiveness is not good enough!

Nogi Xidian stood up and said: "Your Excellency, I will definitely conquer Jinzhou!"

Da Shanyan nodded in satisfaction and said, "This is the courage a warrior should have."

As soon as the meeting ended, Da Shanyan thought silently: "That Lin Yuan! We must find a way to get rid of him!"

In Jinzhou City, Lin Yuan was looking at the map and meditating. Fade Chen said, "Captain, how do you think my mission is going?"

Without raising his head, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Very good."

Fade Chen said: "I don't understand why we don't send planes to blow up all their leaders."

Lin Yuan said: "I've thought about it a long time ago, but it's not that easy. The Japanese have learned to be smart this time. Their telegraphs are turned on very irregularly. Sometimes they turn on for a while, and sometimes they turn on for a long time."

Chen Fei asked: "What's the matter?"

Lin Yuan said: "Last time we succeeded in beheading, largely because the Japanese telegraph department was with their command department, and they were defenseless against our method of using telegraph signals to find them, but this time, I It is suspected that they planted a lot of false signals to confuse us, and we did not have enough ammunition to blow them all up."

Lin Yuan sighed again, and said: "Besides, during our aerial reconnaissance, no Japanese artillery was found. I think the Japanese used camouflage measures."

Fade Chen said with a smile: "I understand this. During the Kosovo War, Yugoslavia used a lot of camouflage methods, and the army's heavy weapons had almost no losses in the US air strikes."

Fade Chen added: "I think the Japanese army will definitely attack Jinzhou in a big way in the next step. What should we do? Passive defense has never been advocated by us."

Lin Yuan said: "The first division of the Japanese army is stationed in Liaoyang, on the front line of Fengtian and Changtu, and the second division is stationed in Dalian, Lushun, and the border between China and North Korea. wipe out."

Fade Chen said: "I don't think it's easy. There are almost [-] people in the two divisions of the Japanese army, and our strength is too small."

Lin Yuan said: "Although the Japanese army has many troops, their deployment is scattered. If we have enough troops, we can completely defeat them one by one."

This difficulty made both of them fall into deep thought.

In the following day, the Ningyuan garrison came to reinforce them. There were a total of four battalions with more than 00 people. The leader was Xiong Tiesheng; A hundred imitation Mauser 1871 rifles, some Gatling shells.

As for the Japanese army, the Japanese army stationed in Jinxian retreated to Panjin, and the first brigade set off from Fengtian, where it was stationed, and marched towards Jinzhou; The Japanese army in Manchuria increased to more than 4 people.

On February 2th, the first brigade of the cavalry under the command of the First Division had already crossed the Liaohe River first. This cavalry unit of about 4 people, when they crossed the ice surface of the Liaohe River less than 1000 meters wide, used enough Two hours.

It turned out that in order to prevent something like Daling River from happening, Captain Akiyama Yoshiko even divided the troops into several batches and crossed the river in batches, and sent troops to search the ice surface carefully before crossing the river, so it took a lot of time .

After crossing the Liaohe River, it is only more than 100 kilometers away from Jinzhou. This distance only takes less than two days for the cavalry of the Japanese army.

The artillery of the Japanese army is widely equipped with 75 mm caliber artillery. When the Japanese army attacked the Northeast, it was found that the power of this artillery was not enough, especially it was difficult to blast through the city walls, so Takashi Imazu came up with a way.

After the Qing army fell at Lushunkou, they did not destroy the artillery on the fort, which left an opportunity for the Japanese army. Takashi Imazu then ordered that the artillery on the Qing army fort be dismantled and transported by sea to Panjin, where they were assembled Army use.

When the war was about to break out, Lin Yuan in Jinzhou also thought of a way to deal with the Japanese army.
