Lose myself's Fort.
Japanese artillery fire finally burned to the Qing Dynasty Northern Navy station-Arthur. Just like the Northern Navy and the Japanese Combined fleet in the same situation, the attack and defense of the fortress of the enemy have not seen the enemies first retreat of the coward, but also in the most critical moment to defend the position of the hero.
The north side of Port Arthur's artillery position is the first to fall, yes, a gun has not been issued on armors. Then the Japanese poured in from the gap. In the East Sea ditch naval warfare in the northern warlords each warship in firepower lower than the Japanese ship, the same, the defense of the Qing Dynasty soldiers and Japanese soldiers equipment is also a gap, and not small. The gap can be known only from the rifles of the two soldiers: the Japanese used a tethered rifle with a magazine for ammunition, and the Qing dynasty was equipped with an old rifle that could only be filled with one bullet at a time, and some Qing soldiers even blunderbuss on fire. But this time, the Qing dynasty has a lot of anti-gun can be used, but Japan has no can contend with the artillery (infantry can carry). The Qing dynasty persisted for a long time under the adversity of the northern defense, until the Japanese naval fleet hit the Qing sea line from the sea!
The former Northern Fleet became a "fleet of existence" and was holed up in the naval port by Li Li's life (none of the parts needed to be replaced), so when the Japanese ship appeared in the harbor, the Northern Sea counter-attack force was only torpedo boats, and was soon sunk. The types of artillery shells used in the fort are only solid shells, so this kind of artillery shells that scare only infantry are no threat to the water-heavy warships. Several rounds of picric acid shells in the position of flowering, poisonous yellow fog in the position of the diffuse, the Qing Army's resistance was silent. Then all we know is that the Japanese in the "Nanjing Massacre" rehearsal, the Qing court of those who command exhausted their energy of the clear party is still abusive Li Zhengtang adults, and the Chinese nation has fully entered the "semi-colonial feudal society."
I often think that if the Qing Dynasty soldiers cling to the Northern line of the fortress, will the historical trajectory change? Of course, those who cling to the defensive line of soldiers in exchange for, the biggest possibility is that the Chinese late into the special historical era. The Qing Dynasty, in addition to those who would only play pen the "classics" of the clear party, can rely on only other countries, and those countries only want to benefit from the Sino-Japanese War, so they can not help anything. Well, this painful moment is over, and I have a lot of things to do here. Fortunately, this time China does not rely on any country's nasal polyps.
