Chapter 77 German Deer Hunting
"Mr. Ye, you haven't slept all night, do you want to take a break?" Duan Qirui looked at Ye Zhikui with two panda eyes, looking listless, and couldn't help but step forward to persuade him.
The three heroes of Beiyang, Duan Qirui was the leader of the army, Feng Guozhang was the leader of the artillery team, and was about to come from Jimo, and Wang Shizhen was the leader of the engineering team, and was in Lutai, Tianjin, and guarding his hometown.
Ye Zhikui yawned and said helplessly: "Zhiquan, the gunshots have been sounding all night. How can I sleep? I don't know how the battle is going. Wang Yingkai should send information."
As soon as Ye Zhikui finished speaking, a correspondent official came to report: "Report to Marshal Ye, our army captured Highland No. 1 in the early morning of this day, with more than 100 casualties, ten German troops killed and more than 30 surrendered to our army. General Wang is attacking Highland No. 2 and is expected to attack the main peak of Fushan by afternoon."
Ye Zhikui slapped the table, became excited, shouted twice, and said to Duan Qirui: "Zhiquan, report the good news to Magistrate Nie. I think that the Fushan battle will end tomorrow night at the latest, and send a telegram to Magistrate Nie to prepare for attacking Qingdao city."
Duan Qirui was also full of joy. Wu Yi's army finally showed its fangs and tore through the enemy's defense line.
On Fushan, Wang Yingkai stood on the No. 2 Highland. Since finding a strategy to defeat the enemy in the early morning, Wu Yi's army's morale has increased greatly and its momentum is unstoppable. Soon, it captured several hills next to the main peak. Wang Yingkai looked at the main peak of Fushan.
At the German Command of the main peak of Fushan, German sergeant was reporting the war to Lieutenant Von der Leyre.
A pair of elk heads hung on the wall of the command center. Von der Leyre stood in front of the wall, holding his hands behind him, and watching the elk heads with his eyes intently. From his appearance, it can be seen that he is a commander with a calm temperament.
"Sir, the Wuyi army has captured the fortresses around the command center and is now rushing towards this side." The sergeant said anxiously.
Von der Lair didn't have to listen to the non-commissioned officer report. Just the gradually dense gunfire from below, you can hear that the Wu Yi army is now in an offensive. Von der Lair took a step forward and touched the horns of the elk.
Seeing that Von der Lair was not talking, he was calm and looked like an old god still, and he had to ask again: "Sir, Wu Yi has many soldiers, and our army cannot resist it. Should we surrender or strategically transfer? In order to reduce the innocent sacrifices of the imperial warriors, please make a decision early."
Von der Leyre's hand trembled as he touched Deer Antler, turned around, widened his eyes, and asked back: "Strategic transfer? Aren't we surrounded?"
The sergeant said in confusion: "Yes, sir, I have told you just now that there is a steep cliff behind the top of the command center. There is no enemy attack. We can slide down with a sling while they are not paying attention and then escape from the encirclement."
Von der Leyre was thinking about how to surrender decently, but he didn't listen to the sergeant's speech seriously. Now that he heard that he still had a way out, he immediately picked up the pistol on the table and scolded: "Idiot, since there is such a good method, why not report it early."
The non-commissioned officer was very innocent, and thought to myself that I said it as soon as possible, but when I saw that you were confident, I thought you had any other good solutions! Tsk! It’s not a fool, but the sergeant dared not say that, so he had to respond: “Yes, sir!”
Von der Leyre scolded again: "Idiot, it's time for me, I'm still saluting, leave!"
Von der Leyre led the remaining dozen German troops to rush towards the cliff.
The first person to find out that the German army was running away was a Shandong young man. He shouted loudly at the foreign devil officer to escape, while chasing him alone.
The German sergeant tied up the sling, and the sergeant looked at von der Leyer and said, "Sir, please please first!"
Von der Leyre looked down and was a few dozen meters high, then looked at the ropes that were thick with three fingers. His head was a little dizzy and said, "As a qualified Imperial officer, children, you go down first, I will cover you behind."
The soldiers were crying and moved. Good man, why didn't you find it before? The sergeant saw some other things from Von der Leyre's fearful eyes.
Von der Leyre thought to himself: You can help me try if the rope is strong enough!
The German soldiers slid down the rope one by one, and in the end there were only four or five people left. Von der Leyre saw that it was really okay and wanted to go down first, but when he thought of what he said just now, he had to let go of his anxiety and wait for a while.
He was doing his own deeds, and soon he was the only one left above. Von der Leyer couldn't wait to step forward, hold the rope, and was about to slip down. The Shandong guy from Wu Yi's army arrived at this critical moment. Without saying a word, the young man shot a few shuttles first.
Von der Leyre was so scared that he hurriedly lay on the ground. The young man slowly touched him and shouted: "Stop the gun and don't kill him! Squat down and put his hands on his head!"
However, von der Leyre couldn't understand Chinese, but when he saw that Wu Yi's army was slowly surrounding him, he couldn't help but stand up and waved, "I surrender! I surrender!"
Seeing that the foreign devil officer did not listen to him, the young man from Shandong didn't know what he was yelling at him, he fired a few more shots at him and shouted again to stop him from killing him.
Von der Leyre was shocked by the gunfire and hurriedly took a few steps back. His retreat was not good. He was already close to the cliff, and he immediately stepped on the air. The man fell backward and fell in a straight line. Von der Leyre thought in his heart: Damn, Chinese, don’t you even allow him to surrender?
The Shandong guy looked from above and thought to himself: Damn, you would rather jump off the cliff than surrender. He is a man.
The sergeant watched Von der Leyre fall down quickly, thinking to himself: It's you who is stupid, you dare not let you go first, now I see how you die.
Von der Leyre hit the ground with a snap, and immediately turned into a pile of meat paste. The sergeant had to pick up one of his relatively complete feet and led more than a dozen German soldiers to escape to Qingdao.
In Qingdao, in the German General Command, Detlichi was rubbing his temples with his hands. Captain An Meng had just reported the latest battle situation to him. Wu Yi's army was attacking the main peak of Fushan. He estimated that Von Deleier would be in danger.
"Captain, what countermeasures do you have? After the enemy captured Fushan, they will attack Qingdao. Can you stop it?" As the situation of the war changed, Detlic no longer had the original spirit.
Chief An Meng pointed to the map and said, "Don't worry, General, we have laid out countless mines in the suburbs of Qingdao. I will let them go without returning."
An Meng continued: "The telegraph engineer reported to me not long ago. He detected that electromagnetic waves fluctuated frequently in a place in Yangjia Village, Qing Dynasty. It is suspected that the enemy was constantly using wireless telegraph machines. If so, this place may be the command center of the enemy."
An Meng picked up his pen and drew a road from the map, explaining: "If our army dispatched elite troops to avoid the Wuyi Army's defense zone and quickly broke through the Songwu Army's position, we could reach the enemy commander's place. If we succeed in the operation and annihilate the enemy command, we would definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the Qing Dynasty."
As a major general of the army, Detrich was not very familiar with army operations and did not object to it. Instead, he said: "Captain, I hope you won't let me down this time."
"Yes! General, I'll go and arrange it now!" An Meng saw Ditlich agreeing, saluted and turned around and left.
Not long after, Captain Anmeng organized an elite German army of about 200 people, led by Lieutenant Federer. They will sneak in at night to break through the defense of the Qing army. If everything goes well, they will probably arrive at the suspected enemy command center in the morning the next day, and then launch an attack. The German army's long-distance raid was named Deer Hunting Operation.
