954 Lao Ba's worries

Hearing this, everyone nodded in recognition of Su Gaofei's judgment, and then Su Gaofei pointed to the smooth coastline outside the wooden wall in the west of the city and said:

Of course, an important reason why the enemy did not take this place as the main direction of attack was that the assembly along the coastline would be attacked by ship guns, and Pimont and the Duchess had promised to let the Red Bay and the Dawn assist us in the battle on the sea, and according to the range of the bronze guns on these two ships and the draft of these two small ships, the length of the wooden wall in the western section of Xin'an City is one kilometer, and the naval guns can cover at least half of the distance - that is, about 500 meters.

Considering the last Battle of Oecussi, the Portuguese bombarded the coastal area with naval guns from ships and bombarded the coastal area with crossbows, causing heavy losses to the tribesmen, and finally easily routed the natives occupying the docks of Oecussi City, forcing the indigenous warriors to abandon the blockade of Oecussi City and retreat inland, never to appear near the coastline again.

This happened not long ago, and must have impressed the indigenous warriors, so we deduced that the indigenous tribes would not launch a main attack on the seaside of the western wooden wall.

Of course, the western wooden wall still needs to be defended to avoid sneak attacks. ”

When Su Gaofei said this, he clicked on the wooden wall in the western section of the map, a sign near the coastline, and said:

"Look, this is the West City Gate, five hundred meters from the coastline, Brother Hou has done some reinforcement works on the basis of the original lookout above the city gate, in addition to the door hole rebuilt with cement and red bricks, he also built a thicker and stronger wooden fortress on the basis of the wooden lookout, and arranged a twin 20-mm machine gun there.

This support point is the key to the western wooden wall, allowing our forts on the corner tower of the southwest wooden wall to support each other, and the range of fire is sufficient to form a cross cover.

This kind of cross-fire coverage is comprehensive, from west to south and then to the east sector at present, so theoretically, wherever there is a crisis situation on the wooden wall, our twin machine guns can immediately provide fire support......"

However, although Su Gaofei said with confidence, the audience actually didn't have much bottom in their hearts, after all, Xin'an City had to face an attack of 20,000 people, and everyone knew very well the weakness of the wooden wall.

Especially now, there are many jars and jars in Xin'an City, although the strength of the garrison is not the same as in the past, but the places that need to be taken into account have also greatly increased, all in all, once it is big, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and the enemy is not a fool, let alone the beginning of the battlefield, so things are by no means as easy as it feels, in short, the war is dangerous, the country's major affairs, this is not a joke......

At this moment, the chopsticks in Su Gaofei's hand were still moving, and the chopsticks were pointing to the map along the line of the wooden wall, and Chief of Staff Su read them one by one:

"After a month of intense construction, the construction of the cement-brick-concrete fortress of the East City Gate, the South East City Gate, the South West City Gate, the West City Gate and the two corner towers has been completed.

At this time, Hou Xianglin responded:

"Obviously, the family is currently unable to provide us with more cement, and the cement needed for the dam construction in the future will probably have to rely on our own cement plant."

Hou Xianglin said and looked at Kangda, who nodded and responded:

"It's okay, before the meeting just now, I sent a telegram to the Red Mansion on my own initiative, asking them to support us with a little more cement, because I heard that the Yi Wuxuan will set sail here in the next few days, so I sent it by the way, didn't I?"

"Uh...... Will the family think we ......?"

Before Hou Xianglin's words fell, Lao Wang shook his hand beside him and said:

"When is it, we don't have to worry about these, everything is based on need, what should be given must be given, this is a critical time when human life is critical, the Red Mansion will not complain or anything, I believe that as long as the family can do it, it will definitely support us fully!"

Lao Wang's words obviously diluted the solemn atmosphere in the conference room, and many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Lao Ba smiled next to him:

"Hehe, Mr. Zhao, Boss Luo, they must be preparing supplies for us while scolding my mother, I've seen that expression......"

"Ba Lao, Mr. Zhao, what are their expressions?"

Zhou Rui asked in the back, Lao Ba smiled slightly:

"That's it, Ang...... first looked at the sky with red eyes - it was staying up late, then walked back and forth in the office with a serious expression, muttering something hatefully in his mouth, and then, silently thinking about the production plan, and then personally shuttling back and forth in several production sites, and then reprimanding his apprentices in an angry tone from time to time, after scolding and crying one or two apprentices, Qiao Xiaomu came to comfort him on both sides.

And Boss Luo's side is similar, all in all, every time something big happens overseas, those two are nervous and busy......"

"Well, it's bigger this time......"

Zhou Ruiyue and Chu couldn't help but shake their heads at the same time, with expressions as if these things were caused by their brothers.

At this time, Fang Linyou, the deputy captain of the garrison, pulled the topic back, he sat in front, turned around and pointed to the map and said to everyone, big brothers, now the four gate holes and two corner towers of this Xin'an City have become cement brick and concrete structures, and they are strong, but when the time comes, we need our people to go upstairs to defend in person, because the machine guns in the fortress can only be operated by us, there are six in total, all of us here, except for Uncle Wang and Ba Lao, eight people, except for the naturalization camp of the Governor's Palace, six fortresses on the wooden wall, Each of us must guard at least one......

Lao Ba listened to it and said for a moment that in fact, there was a safe place in the wooden-walled fortress......

Everyone couldn't help but laugh speechlessly when they heard it, and said in their hearts, is Lao Ba empty? But everyone also understands that when the big war comes, who doesn't beat the drum in their hearts? It's just that everyone maintains a certain calm attitude on the face.

At this time, Hou Xianglin, who was sitting next to Lao Ba, smiled and said, Ba Lao, you can relax, the Governor's Mansion is also a brick and concrete structure, and once the gate is closed, it can be regarded as a solid castle, and the Duchess Duhongwan is on the sea, otherwise you will always get on the boat? After all, in this siege battle, we also need the cooperation of the sea, and it is not useless for you and Uncle Wang to go to the ship to liaison.

Lao Ba immediately shook his head when he heard this, and said, you have misunderstood what I mean - well, let me tell you the truth here, this line of wooden walls stretches for four kilometers in a radius, if, I mean, if the opposite side uses the tactics of crowds, only concentrates on the south and west sides to besiege the wooden wall, and engages in that kind of key breakthrough at all costs, I feel that somewhere will be captured.

At that time, although the fortress is there, this group of natives will probably storm Sin'an City, so we must prepare for the worst-case scenario - street fighting!

Everyone was a little silent for a while after listening to Lao Ba's statement, and then everyone suddenly remembered that there was still a silent Chief of Staff Su standing on the stage, and this was standing in front of the map with a smile and speechlessness, waiting for everyone to continue to introduce the city defense plan of Xin'an City after the discussion stopped.
