At Moltke Fort, on the bay side of the city, the German garrison had mounted two fifteen- centimeter guns stripped from the Austrian cruiser Kaiserin Elisabeth, a field battery of ten pieces, three field howitzers, and several small guns taken from the second-class Ger- man gunboats and cruisers that had been al- lowed to be bottled up in the Bay of Kiaochow.
The two German forts which commanded the sea approaches were Huit-chien-huk and Tscha-nui-va. The first was equipped with two twenty-four
...-centimeter guns and three fif- teen-centimeter guns, while the latter's equip- ment consisted of two twenty-one-centimeter guns which had been taken from the Chinese Taku forts in 1900.
The German garrison at Tsingtau at the opening of the war, knowing that their surren- der was inevitable, had made all plans to keep as far as possible all trophies of war from falling into the enemy's hands after surrender. The result was that early on the morning of the 7th, after the Japanese infantry had gained the 97 THE FALL OF TSINGTAU redoubt walls, all preparations were made by the garrison for destroying the guns.
