Gu Jin nodded and smiled when he heard this, since this is the case, let's dismantle it, it's just that we have to hurry up, the workload of dismantling the artillery is quite large, not only the dismantling, but also a large amount of ammunition handling, it is best to try to finish it within two days, we are about to set off to the Leizhou Peninsula to transport reinforcements to you, thinking about it like this, it is really time-sensitive.

At this time, Hou Kang, Xiao Su, Han Letian, Han Qisheng and others also gathered together, spread out the map of Xin'an City, Xiao Pingguo also beckoned Wei Hong, who was overly excited, to come over, and a group of people began to enthusiastically explore the defense of Xin'an City, determining how many defensive fortresses need to be built on the entire city wall, how many machine guns need to be installed, and so on.

At this time, Lao Wang Lao Ba Quan also came over to look at the map, obviously their faces were a little nervous, Gu Jin came over and patted Lao Ba on the back, and then looked at the three old men and said, Doctor Quan is definitely going to get on the boat, otherwise, when the Nicole docks next time, you brothers will also follow us back to the Red Mansion, right?

Hou Xianglin next to him immediately turned around and said to Lao Wang Laoba when he heard this, what Captain Gu said is that the two of them are old, it is better to get on the boat safely, after all, Xin'an City will face a dangerous test, and we can just stand up to it here.

Before Hou Xianglin's words fell, there was a knock on the door of the living room, and it turned out to be the attendant of the telegraph room who reported that there was an urgent telegram.

A moment later, the telegram was handed to Xiao Pingguo, and the telegram was still sent by the Red Mansion, signed by Sun Lao, and the content was only two paragraphs:

"The President of the Australian Federation order: Xin'an City immediately organizes the evacuation of personnel and their families who are not directly related to the city's defense military operations, and will board the ship and leave after the Nicole arrives at the Blue Pier again.

In addition, in case of an unpredictable situation, when you have to give up Xin'an City, you must give up decisively, the Red Mansion does not require you to stick to the city, remember, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood! Therefore, you must also negotiate the evacuation route in advance, prepare the evacuated ships on the docks, and let Pimont support you, at least make Dili City a back road for you.

So, if you think it's necessary to leave Nicole for you to do the way back, then let Nicole stay, the family has no opinion on this, as for business, that's second, of course, you can discuss this suggestion until the next time Nicole arrives, and then it's not too late to make a final decision. ”

After reading it, Xiao Pingguo immediately showed it to everyone to circulate, and then smiled at Lao Wang Laoba, it is appropriate to retreat women, children and old people, since Sun Lao gave the order in his capacity as president, then it must be carried out unconditionally, right?

In this way, I suggest that Uncle Wang and Ba Lao, as well as Brother Hou Kang, plus your immediate family wives and children, oh, and the Duchess and her children, next time they all go to the Nicole, and it is safer for you to go back to the Red Mansion for the time being. ”

Hou Xianglin and Kangda shook their heads in unison when they heard this, and both of them said that they didn't need to, and said: We have confidence in the defense of Xin'an City, as for the wife and children, just in case, it is appropriate to retreat and get on the ship.

At this time, Hou Xianglin added: I presided over the construction of this wooden wall of Xin'an City, and I have not seen a war, and there is still a fortress construction task here, so I will stay.

Kangda, who was next to me, also said that by now I am very familiar with this place, and I am also familiar with the labor force in the naturalization camp, so it is useful for me to stay.

At this time, Lao Wang and Lao Ba also exchanged glances with each other, and then nodded to each other, obviously the two had reached some kind of tacit understanding at this moment, so Lao Wang replied to everyone:

"Hehe, Old Sun, this is a person who makes us run softly, this ...... It doesn't feel good, so let's do it, my wife and children are all on Nicole, as for our old brothers, they are all old bones, just stay here, after all, once the city is besieged, all kinds of emergencies will follow, you are in command in the front, we are in the rear, and it is not useless to maintain stability in the backyard for you. ”

"Really?"

Xiao Pingguo asked with a serious face.

"Don't worry! No problem, we still have AK47 and Colt in our hands, and we can shoot at the wooden wall if necessary! Therefore, the women and children can retreat, we must hold on, and this matter is decided! ”

Lao Ba's tone of response was very resolute......

"Okay, the Nicole will be dismantled early tomorrow morning, except for the one on duty, everyone will go!"

Captain Gu waved his hand and said......

This time, the Nicole finally docked at Xin'an Pier for five days and five nights, with the help of 300 porters on the pier and the Nicole boom, everyone worked together, and in three days, a total of six twin 20mm machine guns were dismantled into the warehouse at the Blue Pier, in addition, there was enough ammunition.

At the same time, more than 2,000 tons of iron ore and 1,000 tons of coal were also loaded into Nicole's warehouse, and these materials should have been shipped on Nicole's return trip, but Gu Jin thought that by that time, Xin'an City was already in a state of war, and whether there was labor here to ship these materials was two words, so just load them together, anyway, Nicole's 7,000 tons of payload is more than enough.

Everyone was busy day and night until the morning of the sixth day, and finally finished the carrying, so the Nicole immediately set sail to Dongshan Island on the Leizhou Peninsula in Hong Kong.

After sending off Nicole, everyone began to do various fortification construction non-stop, this kind of work was naturally presided over by Hou Xianglin, Xiao Wei Suhan and other young people assisted, and all the soldiers of the garrison participated in shifts.

The defense plan of Sin'an Fortress was also discussed and decided - all areas except the dam site must be strictly guarded - the three wooden walls of the east and west urban areas must be fortified, and no weak areas should be left.

After discussion, it was decided that the wooden defensive fortress with six machine guns as the core should be evenly distributed, and four of the machine guns should be placed in the four city gate holes in the east, west and south wooden walls, and there are ready-made lookout sniper platforms.

According to past experience, including the wooden wall in the western section and the wooden wall in the southern section, the vicinity of the city gate hole should be one of the main attack directions of the indigenous tribes, so a firepower point should be built on both sides of the 100 meters away from there, and then a corner tower should be built at the corner of the wooden wall, and a machine gun should be placed on each side.

At that time, all the fire points must be at least one equipped with AK47 and Colt traverser to lead one or two squads of garrison soldiers to hold on, six fire platforms are the six support points of the city wall, as long as the support points on the wooden wall are not lost, according to the range of machine guns, they can completely support each other, forming full coverage of firepower.

Hou Xianglin also paid a special visit to the duchess and asked the duchess to seize the time to cut down the sugar cane outside the eastern city and form a large open field outside the wooden wall.

At this time, Pimont also brought a piece of advice to Hou Xianglin in time - when cutting sugar cane, do not cut it by the roots, but leave the roots of the sugar cane and cut it diagonally into a pointed shape, Pimont said, because the vast majority of tribal warriors are not only shirtless, but also barefoot, and there are large pieces of sugar cane stubble on the ground, if the enemy wants to engage in a group charge, it will be very troublesome.

Pimont's suggestion immediately reminded Hou Xianglin and his brothers, and as soon as a few people put them together, they immediately organized people to cut wooden stakes by hand in the naturalization camp, which were more than a foot long, tied into a cross, and inserted in the mud and grass, only exposing a wooden tip, and then densely inserted in a range of several hundred meters from outside the wooden wall like sowing, forming a circle of "thorn areas", if it weren't for the urgency of time and the lack of materials, Hou Xianglin's brothers still wanted to make it iron, but obviously it was too late at present.
