Yue Chu and Wei Hong glanced at each other, obviously the two had expected this request, and the latter responded in a low voice after a moment of silence:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have arranged this way for this thousand people, of which 600 people are divided into two teams to defend the east gate tower and the southeast corner tower, at present, the security team has a total of 400 people and 21 guns, and 300 people are divided to defend these two strongholds with them, in this way, there are machine guns, and there are enough troops with the tall city tower fortifications, and each stronghold has 450 people to defend it to the death, so there is no problem with these two support points.

Among the remaining less than 400 people, 300 belong to the mobile defense company led by me, and the rest are scattered among the remaining 3,000 men, who are the squad leader and deputy squad leader to lead the team, so it is difficult for us to transfer again, if we have to transfer out, there will only be a mobile company of 300 people, so the defense of the naturalized battalion and naturalization village may be insufficient. ”

"If the enemy doesn't attack the wooden wall of Dongcheng, can you take the initiative?"

Conda, who was sitting in the corner, asked.

Yue Chu pondered for a moment and replied cautiously:

"If there is the fire cover of the Iwusang, our security team and mobile company can lead some of the men of the naturalized battalion to attack the enemy from the flanks or use the Iwusa to transport our ships across the river, but we can only be put into it if the Xicheng is in a stalemate, or the enemy has begun to retreat - again, our trade labor force is not well trained on the battlefield, and the number of the security team and the mobile company is not large, and the weapons and equipment are more superior, so, don't expect too much from us, under the current conditions, We can only give you a support ......"

At this time, Wei Hong also explained beside him:

"Brother Kang, the current situation is not bad, if there is no security team and trade labor to join, we will be forced to divide our troops to defend the East City, after all, we can't watch the enemy attack the East City, and then set fire to the buildings there, even if it is just an empty building, for the enemy, it is a victory that is enough to boast of, now it seems that as long as those three support points are on the East City side, the enemy will pay a heavy price once he enters the city."

Everyone nodded in unison when they heard this, it seemed that everyone recognized Yue Chu's tactics of "focusing on defense and luring the enemy into depth", of course, the main reason was that both his combat power and defensive strength were very limited.

Next is Wei Hong's report, the top priority of the defensive battle of Xin'an City - the defense plan of Xicheng.

"The defensive battle plan of Xicheng is completely different from that of Dongcheng, because there are too many altars and jars in Xicheng that we need to protect, plus the garrison can concentrate forces, and the Luoyouka tribe has 1,300 tribal warriors to join, so our basic plan is still based on defending the enemy outside the wooden walls - as you know, these tribal warriors have been fighting in the jungle for the past year, constantly expanding the control area for the tribe, in fact, for us, so the combat power is very strong.

Not only are they battle-hardened and highly capable soldiers, but they are also well-equipped, especially in recent times, when we have supported many of the weapons and armoured of the Portuguese regular army through Pimont, so that they can defeat the jungle tribes who are naked and armed only with iron-tipped wooden spears and teng shields. ”

When Wei Hong said this, he got up and pointed to the southern wooden wall between the city gate and the corner tower on the map and explained:

"So our plan is: deploy 1,300 warriors of the Loka tribe in the area centered on the cross street, where we can smoothly support the battle of the wooden wall in the west and south directions, and when there is a place on the wooden wall that is broken through by the enemy, the warriors of the Loka tribe will rush over in time to plug the gap and give us time to mobilize reserves."

"In addition to the line on the wooden wall, how many people are in the reserve of your garrison so far?"

According to the original city defense plan, three fully equipped infantry companies of the garrison, totaling 630 people, would hold the governor's palace, and at the same time, they would also be dispatched to support the battle on the wooden wall according to the situation.

Wei Hong replied:

"From yesterday to just now, after careful discussion, there have been some revisions to the plan, the current garrison reserve is 1,050 people, five infantry companies, most of which are soldiers equipped with cold weapons, and it is currently planned to deploy three companies in the ammunition factory, and two companies in and around the governor's palace, the main task is to hold the support point, and together with the Loka tribe warriors, meet those enemies who break through from a certain point in the nearby wooden wall and enter the city."

At this time, Chief of Staff Su Gaofei interjected and explained:

"This number has been carefully calculated by us, because we don't have to worry about the wooden wall of the eastern city, so theoretically, we can arrange three thousand soldiers on the wooden wall with a total length of two kilometers in the entire western city, that is to say, there is more than one soldier standing every other meter on the wooden wall, and these soldiers on the wooden wall are all equipped with five-nine and five-seven rifles, all kinds of other firearms, shields, spears and a large number of five-seven grenades @ bullets.

Of course, the density of the soldiers is still different, basically the closer you are to the city gates and corner towers, the density increases, and at the same time, mobile defense strategies are adopted, using wooden wall passages and special passages along the inner walls to mobilize troops in time to make up for weak sections. ”

"Given that the enemy's main attack direction is only those two sections - the two wings of the west wall centered on the southwest corner tower and the southern section of the wooden wall with the south gate as the core, so we can calmly make targeted defensive arrangements, plus the inner wall has the timely support of more than 2,300 soldiers from the Loka tribe and our reserves, so we are confident that we can block any section of the wooden wall that is breached."

Wei Hong stopped explaining here, and Yue Xiao, Su Fang, Zhou Han and others, who participated in the formulation of the specific plan, also quieted down together, obviously they were waiting for several bigwigs to evaluate this defense plan.

After Wei Hong finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while, so Lao Wang, who was sitting in the back row, frowned and asked first:

"Well, speaking of which, there are 3,100 guns on the wooden wall, and there are 150 and a half infantry companies in total, and the equipment is the best, and it looks good, but I always feel that this huge city, with three support points and a two-kilometer-long wooden wall, and buildings in the city, these 3,000 people will be scattered like pepper noodles, and our concern is: Do you really think that such a limited number of troops can block the enemy's siege?"

Wei Hong replied with a smile when he heard this:

"Elder Wang, on the whole, the essence of the entire defense plan is to stick to the main points and mobile defense.

There is a total of one corner tower and two gates in Xicheng, which are the three main points that must be defended by the first line, and six and a half infantry companies are arranged respectively, all of which are 59-type rifle companies.

The remaining nine infantry companies were deployed for mobile defense, temporarily arranged evenly on four sections of wooden wall between the three support points, of which three companies were placed between the south gate and the southwest corner tower, and two companies were arranged in each of the remaining sections.

Although it was evenly arranged, we adopted a mobile defensive strategy, and each company was to be under the command of the nearest support point commander.

There are two main points in the city: the governor's palace and the ammunition factory, and the reserves of five companies are arranged in the ammunition factory on the west bank of the Xin'an River and the governor's palace near the west gate. ”

"Actually, this way of posing still looks good......"

"If the enemy also evenly distributes the forces and besieges them all-out, this arrangement is reasonable."

"Brother Hou, you fought with the natives last time, what are your opinions on this troop allocation?"
