"Why do you want to keep withdrawing troops? Wouldn't it be nice to keep more people? Shen Xin asked at a meeting of the members of the Restoration Society.

"Too many soldiers in the city is not necessarily a good thing." Xu Youliang, commander of the 1st Brigade, explained. If the number of troops is relatively large and they are concentrated on one important point, this is a very inefficient approach from the point of view of military theory. From a realistic point of view, if you want those rebels to jump out bravely, appropriate weakness is also a necessary action. Xu Youliang quoted "Huainanzi? The words in the "Military Training", "Therefore, the way of using the army, show it with softness and welcome it with rigidity, show it with weakness and multiply it by strength, respond to it with Zhang, and show it to the east if you want to go west." ”

After talking about strategic considerations, Xu Youliang made a summary, "Although we can't take the enemy's misunderstanding of us as the strategic basis, the current situation can only use some tricks. ”

Shen Xin himself is not a guy who likes to give orders, not to mention that the system regulations of the Ministry of Political Affairs are also relatively strict. Although the political committee members have a lot of power, they do not have the power to interfere in the actions of other professional departments. For example, in this ambush operation, Shen Xin could be responsible for convening a meeting of the members of the Liberation Society before the war, but he could not interfere with the formulation and implementation of specific tactics, and after the meeting, Shen Xin had to obey the arrangements of the troops.

Of course, of course, the comrades in the army would not deliberately arrange for Shen Xin to go to the front line to die, as a professional and technical department, the comrades in the army certainly knew how to make accidents easy for Shen Xin, so what they had to do was to avoid accidents. However, this institutional model also made Shen Xin feel the painstaking loneliness of the Guangfu Society's political system, the separation of political power from professionalism and departments, and the combination of political power and professional departments, at least in Shen Xin's opinion, he has too many trustworthy people to rely on, which is really a very cool thing.

The comrades in the army were also very happy and relaxed. The layman can't command the insider, and this is definitely something that makes the insider feel extremely relaxed. And although Shen Xin has many problems, he will not point fingers, in a sense, telling Shen Xin about the planned plan itself has the effect of sorting out ideas, and it is also a process of display.

The Wuzhou defense force, which had less than 2,000 people in the city, transferred more than 500 people down the river. Externally, the reason for this dispatch is to step up patrols along the river to guard against water thieves. From the perspective of the Wuzhou defense force, 1,400 soldiers can only stick to four key defense points, the police station, the barracks, the former Wuzhou prefect's yamen, and the wharf. The force has reached the bottom. If the enemy does not attack at this time, in a few days, they will have no chance.

In the battle plan, Shen Xin was arranged on the dock, and the dock has always been a stubborn unit, Shen Xin is inside, and everyone can rest assured. So Shen Xin asked Luo Xuan, who came to inspect next to him, "It's just such a few people, can we resist it?" ”

"Brother Shen, I followed Wei Dudu late, and I am also learning and selling. The training that the troops receive on a day-to-day basis includes how to respond to a surprise attack. We know that someone is going to attack us, so we have to wait here. Combat training is about sweating more in peacetime and shedding less blood in wartime. What we can rely on now is precisely the training on weekdays, as well as the overall level of organization of the troops. Now, let's trust the troops! Luo Xuan said.

When Shen Xin frowned slightly noncommittally, Luo Xuan said again: "If Brother Shen is still worried, you are also at the dock anyway, just get on the boat and inspect the situation on the river!" ”

"Brother Luo, I won't run away. If I leave Wuzhou, don't say anything to anyone in the future! Shen Xin immediately said very seriously.

Luo Xuan explained, "Okay, then you can stay on the dock honestly, although the dock looks dangerous, but our troops are always on alert and can react in the shortest incident." But in other places, I'm afraid that the rebels are the key targets, and we have no way to guarantee that nothing will happen in the city. Be ready for battle yourself! ”

This internal high-level combat readiness situation began to be implemented on January 5, and only a part of the middle-level officers of the troops got the news that there might be a battle later, and the grassroots only received an order, because the number of troops in Wuzhou City was relatively small, so the troops should improve their combat readiness to prevent being taken advantage of.

Including the police force also received an order, at this time the number of troops in the city is small, the police department should pay attention, do not clash with the militia for the time being, and wait until the large army returns to Wuzhou City, at that time to settle the account with the militia.

In the 21st century, China's police and public security system has undergone significant changes. First of all, the command level of the police system has been greatly reduced, the functions of local police stations have been improved, and many brigades and sub-bureaus have been abolished. Under the influence of this, when establishing the police system, Wei Ze paid great attention to the real power of the grassroots units. Local sub-bureaus are responsible for fighting crime and maintaining order, especially for policy advocacy. The problems that have plagued the city, including keeping to the right of the road and traffic command, were quickly improved after the police appeared.

Similarly, Tong Guò established a police system, and Wei Ze also legitimately recruited a group of locals. Some locals joined Wei Ze's system in a short period of time, and the local people in Wuzhou also had quite different perceptions.

Of course, most of the members of the police force are Wuzhou locals, and the police system is seen as an "unreliable factor" in the fight against vigilante groups, and God knows what these people will be infiltrated by the locals. Fortunately, in the beginning, these people were not given weapons other than batons, and the armed police were composed entirely of military personnel in the army. Even if they join the enemy's side, it will not affect the troops.

By January 7, a group of defectors appeared. Whether it is the police system or the boat army, some people have come to tell the Liberation Army, saying that in the past few days, the militia group and the boat army will attack the Wuzhou Liberation Army. The Liberation Army carefully interrogated these defectors, and they only said "these days", and no one could say exactly what day it was. However, most people say that they were born after November 1o.

"What the hell are these people doing? Are they really doing something, or are they trying to do something? "The comrades in the army are a little uncertain.

Luo Xuan's evaluation was, "These people are all locked up, and those who know about this matter will not be a good thing." They came to surrender only because they felt that they couldn't win against us, but they didn't want to let go of the benefits promised to them by the militia and the boat army. They simply run to the side they think will win. No matter who they followed, nothing changed in their idea of trying to profit from this battle. You can't believe this kind of person! ”

When the officers heard this, they all had a sudden sense of enlightenment. Originally, everyone was only judging them by the actions of these guys, but from the perspective of ultimate profit, this group of people was indeed trying to bet on the goods in the war capital. And this kind of goods is not trustworthy in itself. Sending all these people to prison and holding them in the army is no different from normal days on the surface. It's just that because the troops left Wuzhou, the soldiers became fewer on the streets.

By the evening of January 8, Hu Youlu and Wu Fengcai had already brought about 1,000 of their boat army brothers to the vicinity of Wuzhou. They themselves claim to have 5,000 men, but there are really that many in total. However, the other 4,000 people were vassals of the same nature as the militia in the city. The vassals only choose whether or not to join such an operation when they have a big business to do.

Three years ago, these two heroes still had more than 1,500 people in their hands, and the Guangxi Tiandihui uprising, so that many of their brothers followed the Tiandihui. Now there are only a thousand people left in the hands of the two of them who can directly command. Moreover, these 1,000 people are still brothers who stayed after Hu Youlu and Wu Fengcai spent a lot of money to pay silver. If they can't make a windfall in Wuzhou, their own economic pressure alone can make the two of them have no money to maintain the current situation.

According to the plan, the two were to use a boat to carry the officers and soldiers to the west gate of Wuzhou City and throw them down, and then the boat brothers continued to the east and attacked the south gate of Shuinan. When they attacked the south gate of Shui, the militia group opened the west gate, and the officers and soldiers began to enter the south gate. Then they attacked the south gate, and finally opened the city gate, and everyone converged.

Although this plan has been discussed repeatedly, Hu Youlu and Wu Fengcai still feel uneasy. What they are most worried about is the level of combat effectiveness of these officers and soldiers, and the officers and troops of more than 1,000 people still have unified command, which alone is more than the core troops of Hu Youlu and Wu Fengcai. The problem is that at least one-third of them are big smokers, and the leader of Wei, Li Wensheng, is one of the best, and he can't live a day without a big smoking gun. Is such a force really combative?

However, at this time, there was no other choice, and Hu Youlu and Wu Fengcai could only barely believe in their allies once.

In the early morning of January 9, Li Wensheng came out of his cabin with a big smell of smoke, and said to Hu Youlu and Wu Fengcai: "Both, the time has come, let's go out!" ”

Soon, a fleet of more than 2,000 people went down the river and headed straight for Wuzhou City. Behind this leading fleet, more ships formed large and small fleets, opened up some distance, and followed the leading fleet. When all is counted, the number of these people is about more than 6,000 points. More than 4,000 militia groups in the city were involved in the operation. The Guangfu army had only 1,500 people in Wuzhou City. The ratio of six makes the Liberation Army show a great disadvantage.

At least at this time, the coalition forces attacking the Liberation Army thought that they had a chance to win!
