Chapter 60 Breakthrough (1)

The lone wolf running in said panting: "The Beiyang Fleet...the traitor...the Pacific Fleet..." The lone wolf running in said intermittently the information he had just obtained. Obviously, because of the military emergency, the man ran too fast and did not mention it in one breath, but said a few important words intermittently.*eng.com**

Tang Jian's face was gloomy and said, "Don't be anxious, just breathe well first and then talk slowly!"

The lone wolf took a glass of water handed over by Wang Jianchuan and drank it all in one gulp. After the breath was slightly calmer, he said anxiously: "Commander, it's not good. Just now, the Beiyang Fleet called and a traitor appeared in the Beiyang Navy!"

The lone wolf took a deep breath and said, "After the Beiyang Fleet successfully captured Lushun, but did not find the Russian Pacific Fleet. Chief Yan decided to proceed as planned and order the Beiyang Fleet to continue to support the Marines in the Port of Lushun. Unexpectedly, the Haichou cruiser sent out treason and surrendered to the enemy. Taking advantage of the night, he led the Russian Pacific Fleet to ambush somewhere outside the sea to block the Lushun entrance. Thousands of mines were arranged by the Pacific Fleet. Now the Beiyang Fleet is trapped in Lushun Port. Chief Yan specifically asked the commander what to do next?"

"Is Captain Haichou Fang Boqian now?" Tang Jian calmly lit a cigarette and said.

"It's Captain Fang Boqian!" the lonely wolf replied affirmatively.

"Okay, I understand, you go down and rest first!" Tang Jian stepped back from the man and returned to his seat to ponder.

This Fang Boqian! During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Fang Boqian suddenly withdrew from the battlefield by himself when the naval battle was in full swing, causing the Beiyang Fleet to be attacked by the joint fleet from both sides and sank the Guangyi during an unauthorized escape. At that time, because the battle was fierce, in order to preserve his strength, Deng Shichang did not hold him accountable for the time being.

After defeating Tang Jian in the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, because considering that the talents of the Beiyang Fleet were withered and Fang Boqian was also a veteran figure in the Beiyang Fleet, Tang Jian refused to blame his unauthorized escape during the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, and also hoped that he could make meritorious contributions. In subsequent battles, Fang Boqian did not disappoint Tang Jian, but what Tang Jian did not expect was that Fang Boqian actually rebelled at this critical moment.

It’s also a fault that he did not warn Yan Fu when he went to war. Yan Fu might not pay special attention to releasing Fang Boqian for the sake of harmony between the captains of the Beiyang Fleet. It seems that it was his own mistake! Tang Jian was deeply guilty.

"Haha, haha... what a shit Beiyang Fleet? Your doomsday is coming!" The Russian lieutenant colonel, who had been watching Tang Jian's change in expression, realized that the Beiyang Fleet had been trapped, and then burst into laughter arrogantly.

"Bang!" Wang Jianchuan slapped the Russian lieutenant colonel with a big ear. Although Wang Jianchuan couldn't understand the Russian lieutenant colonel's Russian language, he saw the arrogance on his face, and then slapped in the face and cursed: "Damn, you, a captive, are you so crazy?"

The Russian lieutenant colonel was slapped hard by Wang Jianchuan, and the corner of his mouth was bleeding, but he still picked up the cigarette on the ground and curled his legs and looked at everyone with contempt.

"Haha, what if the Beiyang Fleet is trapped in Lushun Port? With the strength of the Pacific Fleet, I'm afraid that it will not be able to attack Lushun!" Tang Jian was still extremely calm and said in a playful tone.

When the Russian lieutenant colonel heard the disdain in Tang Jian's words, his face changed and said coldly: "Who said that the great Russian Pacific Fleet will attack Lushun? They just need to keep Lushunkou tightly for three days. Haha, in just three days, the fierce Cossack cavalry warriors will rush into Lushun City with your heads, and then wipe out your Beiyang Fleet in the port!"

After Tang Jianyi tried, he could have heard the clues. The Beiyang Fleet was trapped in Lushun Port, probably not as simple as Fang Boqian's rebellion.

"Haha, then what?" Tang Jian continued to test.

The Russian lieutenant colonel seemed to realize that he had just been used by Tang Jian in impulse. Suddenly, his eyes turned, twisted his head to the side, and remained silent.

Tang Jian's mouth twitched. It seemed that this Russian Russian would not cry until he saw the coffin! Tang Jian signaled Wang Jianchuan.

Wang Jianchuan understood, and the bones on his fists were creaking. Tang Jian turned around and lit a cigarette. Then he heard the muffled sound of his fists hitting the ** and the howling screams of the Russian lieutenant colonel.

Half an hour later, Wang Jianchuan was so tired that he was breathing, but the Russian lieutenant colonel was unable to speak.

After smoking eight cigarettes, Tang Jian turned around and looked at the dying Russian lieutenant colonel, who was already bruised and swollen, walked forward, pinched the Russian lieutenant colonel's chin with his right hand and said, "Dear lieutenant colonel, how about we make a deal? As long as you tell us your combat plan, I will let you go immediately. How about it?"

A trace of blood spilled out of the corner of the Russian lieutenant colonel's mouth, and suddenly burst out with laughter. The veins swelled up under the hideous smile, and a mouthful of blood spit on Tang Jian's face, saying, "Haha, don't think so! I won't tell you our plan even if I die. You will come down to accompany me soon! Haha!" After saying that, a strange look of determination appeared on his face.

"You!" Wang Jianchuan jumped up in anger when he saw Tang Jian being humiliated, and was about to step forward to give him a wink again. Tang Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head to stop him. Wang Jianchuan had to retreat in disappointment.

However, in the moment, Wang Jianchuan suddenly rose up, and he tightly grabbed the Russian lieutenant colonel's chin with one hand, but he was one step late. He saw that the blood on the corner of the Russian lieutenant colonel's mouth was like a fountain, and he had bitten his tongue and committed suicide.

Tang Jian picked up a square towel from the table and wiped the blood stains on his face, saying, "Find a place to bury him. He was also a soldier when he died!"

After hearing Tang Jian's order, the two lone wolves standing guard at the door trotted over and carried out the gradually cold body.

Jie Jiajun, who was standing beside him, asked: "Commander, what should I do next?"

Tang Jian was thinking carefully about the words of the Russian lieutenant colonel just now, "Who said that the great Russian Pacific Fleet will attack Lushun? They just need to keep Lushunkou tightly for three days. Haha, in just three days, the fierce Cossack cavalry warriors will rush into Lushun City with your heads, and then wipe out your Beiyang Fleet in the port!"

Why did Cossack cavalry rush into Lushun three days later? Could it be that Nie Shicheng's Beiyang New Army in Phoenix City and Yingkou could not defend for a long time? According to Tang Jian's understanding of Nie Shicheng, Nie Shicheng was one of the few powerful generals in the Qing army. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, he successfully blocked a large number of Japanese troops in the Motianling area with a very small force. How could he not defend for a long time?

The fastest time for the Cossack cavalry in western Liaoning to reach Lushun from western Liaoning is ten days. Within three days, even if the Cossack cavalry in western Liaoning is in a row, they will not be able to arrive at Lushun on time.

Could it be that Russian lieutenant colonel was intimidating himself? But seeing that he would rather die than speak out the information, the words he said were somewhat credible. With the map on the wall and the map with the deployment of Russian troops, the offensive trend on it was somewhat consistent with the words of Russian lieutenant colonel.

It was exactly which link there was a problem? Tang Jian couldn't figure it out.

"Commander, what should I do next?" Wang Jianchuan saw that Tang Jian ignored Jie Jiajun's words, so he urged him.

When Tang Jian heard Wang Jianchuan's words, he woke up from his thoughts. He gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, and said, "Cancel the original combat plan, generate electricity immediately, and order the Beiyang Fleet to break through from Lushun and return to Weihaiwei immediately. We blocked the Russian Cossack cavalry in Wafangdian!"

"Yes, Commander!" Wang Jianchuan immediately asked the radio communications officer to notify Yan Fu of the latest order.

The reason why Tang Jian gave up several plans was that he made this difficult decision because he really didn't want to bet on the Beiyang Fleet that had spent countless hard work. He was bold and cautious and sniffed a trace of danger from this series of strange intelligence. That is, someone wanted to swallow the Beiyang Fleet in one bite!

Since as the Russian lieutenant colonel said, the Cossack cavalry would rush to Lushun in three days, that is to say, the Cossack cavalry would arrive at Wafangdian in two days. As long as the lone wolf stayed here for four days, the Beiyang Fleet would be able to break out smoothly.

"Jie Jiajun, you should contact me with radio immediately. If you can't contact me, you should rush it yourself and rush over overnight. You should report to me immediately about Nie Shicheng's news!" Tang Jian ordered.

"Yes! Commander!" Jie Jiajun immediately took a radio soldier. After a moment, he heard the horse neighing, and the sound of "da da" hooves were everywhere. Jie Jiajun had already set off with a radio follower. It seemed that the radio could not contact Nie Shicheng.

"Yuan Jingxiang, go to Lushun immediately and let all Chu Zhaoliang's submarine troops send you back to Weihaiwei. Take my order and let Weihaiwei defend well in case of the Russian army's sneak attack from the mountain. This is the appointment letter appointed Chu Zhaoliang as the commander-in-chief of Weihaiwei's defense!" "Sweeping" Tang Jian quickly wrote a appointment letter and stamped his own seal.

After Tang Jian solemnly handed over the appointment letter to Yuan Jingxiang, he said, "You must tell Chu Zhaoliang that you must guard Weihaiwei for me, otherwise, let him come and see you!"

"Yes! Commander!" Yuan Jingxiang carefully put away the appointment letter, and led a fast horse from outside the camp and headed straight for Lushun.

"Commander, without the help of the submarine force, wouldn't it be so easy for the Beiyang Fleet in Lushun Port to break through!" Wang Jianchuan said worriedly.

"Hmph! Since Fang Boqian has become a traitor, the submarine force is not a secret for the Russians. I think it will take a day or two for Fang Boqian to surrender to the Russians. Then the Russians probably have prepared weapons to deal with submarines. The current submarine dragon-class submarines are just the initial experimental boats, with weak armor and sneak attacks, but they can't withstand the attack of a deep-water shell. Although the submarines are quietly protruding from Lushunkou, the Russians have arranged thousands of mines in Lushunkou. It seems that they have completely blocked Lushunkou, and there will be no waterways that can be successfully navigated. It is meaningless to stay in Lushunkou. It is better to transfer them back to Weihaiwei and increase the guarding power of Weihaiwei!" Tang Jian said calmly.
