Chapter 151: Nervous Sanyo Town
Early in the morning of July 6, Yongchang 49.
The townspeople of Sanyang Town, who had been devastated by the war for many days, found that the Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade had all run out overnight.
However, it is not said that there is a state of emptiness in Sanyang Town, because at dawn there is a unit that takes over the Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade and is stationed in the urban area of Sanyang Town.
They are no strangers to this unit, many people know that this is the supplementary brigade of Lin Ziran in the next town, this supplementary brigade said a few days ago that it was going to come to Sanyang Town, but later the Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade successively killed Sanyang Town, and fought with Sanyang Town as the battlefield, and Lin Ziran's supplementary brigade retreated in one day.
But yesterday, this supplementary brigade appeared outside Sanyang Town again, and many people speculated at that time whether Lin Ziran's supplementary brigade was also involved in the battle between the sixth brigade and the provisional brigade.
But I didn't expect that Lin Ziran's supplementary brigade was just escorting the kerosene caravan, and there was no intention of interfering at all.
In the first half of last night, the Sixth Brigade took the lead in retreating, giving up the plan of directly defeating the Provisional Brigade at Sanyang Town and then heading south along the Luo River by boat, but chose to continue south along the east bank of the Luo River.
Before retreating, he bluffed and fought a night attack that was not small.
It was also this attack that made Jian Liangzhi almost unable to react, and he was deploying a defensive line throughout the first half of the night to prevent the Sixth Brigade from continuing to launch a night attack.
But in the second half of the night, they finally found out that Cheng Hongbin just shook a shot, turned around and ran away after the fight, and then Jian Liangzhi hurriedly led the troops south to pursue.
The Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade were gone, and Lin Ziran's supplementary brigade naturally took the opportunity to enter Sanyang Town.
Regarding the stationing of the supplementary brigade, many people in Sanyang Town were apprehensive, because they did not know what the supplementary brigade would do to come to Sanyang Town.
In the town guarding the mansion, Yan Qiyue was a little apprehensive: "This Lin Ziran, what do you think?" Could it be that he was really stationed in Sanyang Town on Feng Haozhong's orders? ”
Zhou Li on the side laughed: "How is it possible." ”
"I still know Lin Ziran, don't look at his small number of troops, but his ambition is no smaller than any feudal town, how can a person like him really be willing to live under others!"
"In my opinion, his defection to Feng Haozhong is just a cover."
"As for this garrison in Sanyang Town, can't Brother Yan see it, what Lin Ziran did yesterday is already obvious."
Yan Qiyue was puzzled and said, "Could it be that he is really stationed in Sanyang Town just to guard the transportation of kerosene?" ”
Zhou Li said: "In addition, what other reason is there for him to make a big move!" ”
Yan Qiyue nodded slightly at this time and said: "That's right, this kerosene business is very important to us, but it is more important to him Lin Ziran, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is his lifeline, and it is reasonable to send troops to garrison Sanyang Town in order to protect the kerosene business!" ”
Then he looked at Zhou Li: "Then Mr. Zhou, what should we do next?" Is it a laissez-faire or? ”
Zhou Li said: "What else can I do, naturally I just sit idly by, and besides, the town guards under your command are not finished, without the guards of the town guards, and Lin Ziran's men and horses are not allowed to station, this Sanyang ferry will become fat in the eyes of others in minutes, maybe there will be bandits coming over at any time!" ”
Yan Qiyue hesitated a little: "But, after all, this is Sanyang Town, not his Qingshan Town, if he rushes in, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the above?" ”
Zhou Lidao: "Now Lin Ziran is not the battalion officer of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, but the commander of the supplementary brigade of the Third Division, and now he is in the name of the commander of the regular army Shaoqing, who is stationed in Sanyang Town with the logistics line of the Third Division, who dares to say anything!" ”
"These are his own affairs, we don't need to worry about them, as long as he can continue to transport kerosene from afar, as long as he continues to purchase ordnance from us, what else do we have to worry about."
Yan Qiyue said: "This is also what he said, he Lin Ziran made a lot of money in this kerosene business, but most of the money he earned changed hands, but it went to our hands." ”
Zhou Li said: "That's not it! ”
"Don't worry about the garrison, let Lin Ziran have a headache by himself, we still have to discuss the follow-up kerosene transportation, the head office has already sent a letter, saying that some channels have been opened up in Luohai County, and we can transport the next shipload of kerosene to Luohai County to test the reaction of the market!"
When Yan Qiyue and Zhou Li were discussing in the town guard mansion.
Lin Ziran also rode a horse and led the guards to inspect Qingshan Town.
However, he didn't actually send too many troops to Qingshan Town, but only sent an infantry company to station, because the kerosene warehouse was not in the field, and the wharf for kerosene was not a wharf in the city, but a small wharf exclusive to the kerosene warehouse.
This is mainly because kerosene is a dangerous commodity, and no one wants to store hundreds or thousands of barrels of flammable and explosive kerosene in the urban area, which will not only cause trouble in management and transportation, but more importantly, if there is an accident and a big explosion, then it can blow up half of the urban area of Sanyo Town.
And the damage caused by such an explosion must have been greater than the artillery attack on Sanyo Town in the past few days.
In the past few days, the Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade have engaged in fierce battles around Sanyang Town, and both sides have fired a large number of solid artillery shells and grenades, blowing up many areas of the fighting beyond recognition, and many buildings have been beaten into tatters.
However, the power of grenades in these years was still limited, and the scale of the forces of the two warring sides was not large, the number of artillery fire was not large, and the main areas of fighting were still concentrated in the docks and suburban areas, and the real residential areas in the city were not greatly affected.
But even so, when Lin Ziran rode a horse to inspect, he still felt a lot of heartache when he saw that the dilapidated urban area, especially the buildings in the dock area, were almost destroyed.
The current Sanyang Town is its own Sanyang Town!
Although he is not the town guard of Sanyang Town, nor is he the captain of the town guard of Sanyang Town, this does not prevent Lin Ziran from treating this place as his own territory.
Who had his army of more than 1,000 men stationed outside the city, and a company already stationed in the city?
After a brief inspection, Lin Ziran found Yan Qiyue, and after a few simple words, Lin Ziran said: "Yan Zhenshou, I heard that the town guards of Guizhen have been dispersed?" ”
Yan Qiyue didn't know why he asked, but this was also a fact, so he immediately nodded and said, "Lord Lin said that it was all right, our town guard was forcibly recruited by the Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade before, and now it is useless!" ”
After hearing this, Lin Ziran showed a contemplative look, and said after a few seconds: "Sanyang Town is a traffic artery, and there are many bandits coming and going, although the headquarters will be stationed here in the future, but the headquarters is busy with military affairs, and it is difficult to deal with ordinary bullet pressure and bandit suppression, so this official will help Guizhen rebuild the town guard to avoid bandits from running rampant." ”
Hearing this, Yan Qiyue glanced up at Lin Ziran.
Help me rebuild the town guard? Only fools believe you!
