Hu Zhen just quietly listened to the opinions of both sides and didn't say a word.

When the two sides were at a stalemate, Hu Zhen waved his hand to signal both sides to stop, and when he saw that everyone stopped and looked at him, he said:

"Our ultimate strategic goal cannot be just a small Borneo, so it is decided that when we are fighting hard in Borneo, we must also look at the world, unless these tribal armed forces in front of us are integrated into our Great Huaxia, they will not only be eliminated, but also quickly and cleanly, so as to quickly stabilize our foundation in Borneo. In my opinion, we will first take the town of Laga and Tiecheng Mountain as the axis, and on the one hand take advantage of the favorable terrain to establish a consolidated position, and on the other hand, the Chinese people rescued by armed training will multiply our strength, and externally we must not only attract the enemy to attack with all our strength, but also show weakness to the enemy, strive to break the enemy's main force in these two places, and then divide our troops to guard the key points, and the main force will divide our troops to clear the enemy and sweep the inland hinterland of Borneo, so we must ......."

As soon as Hu Zhen spoke, he immediately unified his thinking, and the cadres and generals hurried back to their troops and organized the mobilization of troops overnight.

Hu Zhen took a breath a little, Wang Kaitian came with a few mechanics with lanterns, looking in a hurry, and when he saw Hu Zhen, he said anxiously: "Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu ......"

"Wang Gong, what's the urgency if you don't rest so late?"

"A good thing, a good thing!"

Hu Zhen was a little surprised: "What's a good thing?" ”

"The Lagose steel plant has not been damaged, as long as it is cleaned up, it can be put into production!"

"Ahh Hu Zhen thought this was good news, but felt that there were still many problems in between, so he asked, "Can our technicians and workers make the steel plant work?" Is there enough iron ore raw materials and spare parts for various equipment? ”

"With our existing technicians and workers, we can make this steel plant with an annual output of 30,000 tons of steel operation, and the lager is originally an iron-rich ore area, although the steel plant has not produced a blast furnace steel since it was built, but the ore raw materials of the steel plant are piled up, and the factory has two circular rails, and seven more rails are connected to the three pits, and there are nineteen steam locomotives that can be used with a little repair......"

"Rails? Steam locomotive? Hu Zhen felt strange, there was no railway connection between the deep hinterland of Borneo and the coast, and God knows how the Chinese people of the Lanfang Republic brought in the huge steel plant equipment and steam locomotives? It is no wonder that after the disappearance of the Republic of Lanfang, in this jungle environment, there is not a single record of the iron and steel plant in Lag Town in the history books.

Regarding Hu Zhen's question, Wang Tiankai didn't care, but said excitedly: "The rails are all intact, as long as they are overhauled, they can be put into use!" ”

Hu Zhen immediately thought of another role of rails and steam locomotives: "Okay! Rails and steam locomotives are instantly usable, and if an enemy comes in, it's great to use them as mobile defenses! ”

"Enemies? Defense? Wang Tiankai couldn't think of such a problem, paused for a moment, and said: "If these railroad tracks, steam locomotives and other equipment are used to resist the enemy's attack, there is no problem at all. It's just that it's better not to let the enemy get close and damage our machinery and equipment......"

Hu Zhen nodded and said: "Okay, Wang Gong, you go back and lead everyone to work hard to do your work, let the steel plant resume production as soon as possible, and our Huaxia Army will guarantee that no enemy will rush over to destroy the production of the steel plant!" ”

Wang Tiankai was very excited: "Yes, Mr. Hu, after the steel plant resumes production, it won't be long before we can manufacture machine tools, lathes, milling machines, planers, drilling machines and other mechanical equipment, as well as rifles, pistols, railroad tracks, steam locomotives, everything that European countries can produce, we can produce ......."

After the Huaxia army advanced into the hinterland of Borneo and occupied the two key points of Laga Town and Tiecheng Mountain, it only swept away the tribal forces within a radius of 30 kilometers with a force, rescued several groups of Huaxia people, and then buried itself in building fortifications on the spot, without taking a single step forward.

After the news came out, many Chinese people who were enslaved by the tribe escaped the control of the tribe and moved closer to Lage Town and Tiecheng Mountain, and the number of Chinese people gathered in Lage Town quickly reached more than 20,000, and the number of Chinese people gathered in Tiecheng Mountain also reached more than 10,000.

Hu Zhen ordered all units to set up a recruit training team, recruiting more than 7,000 young people who were physically and in all respects suitable for the enemy, and carried out strict training. So far, since the Huaxia Army marched north, its number has rapidly more than doubled.

Due to the lack of weapons produced by the nuclear submarines he carried, Hu Zhen ordered to use the captured weapons for training first, and then replace them when more weapons were produced later.

Dagaan, the king of the Yak tribe who controlled the hinterland of Borneo, heard that the town of Laga and Tiecheng Mountain had been seized by a Chinese army, and immediately became furious and ordered to take them back immediately, but several small-scale engagements were repelled by the Chinese army on the periphery using captured single-shot rifles, muskets and other miscellaneous weapons.

How could Dagaan and the elders of the Jacques stop there?

After some deliberation, it was decided to organize a large-scale attack, first to eliminate the Huaxia people in Lag Town, and then to surround Tiecheng Mountain and trap Tiecheng Mountain alive.

However, in order to dominate this area, Dagaan decided to keep the news tightly shut and prevent the outside world, especially the Dutch colonial governor's office, which gave Dagaan a Kapitan title, from knowing about it. As a result, the struggle between the Chinese army and the various tribes in the inland hinterland of Borneo was rarely known to the outside world for a long time.

At this time, Hu Zhen was still worried that the navy would be interfered with and blockaded by the naval fleets of the European powers before it was built, and the king of the Yak tribe was so cooperative with the outside world that he was happy to order the Huaxia army and the Huaxia people to cooperate with this.

In this strange and secret situation, the two sides embark on a decisive battle in the town of Rag to decide their fate.

In this decisive battle, both sides felt that they had to prepare carefully, so for many days, neither side took the initiative to attack the other.

However, this temporary fragile balance could not be maintained for a long time, and on the twenty-first day of the Huaxia army's occupation of the town of Lag, the king of the Jacques tribe, Dagaan, gathered more than 40,000 young and middle-aged men in the tribe and personally led the march towards the town of Lag.

The news of the attack of the Jacques tribe reached the headquarters of the Huaxia Army as soon as possible.

Hu Zhen ordered all the units of the Huaxia Army not to entangle with it on the periphery, but to concentrate all the Huaxia people and the main force in the town of Lage. For this decisive battle, Hu Zhen ordered the three detachments stationed in Tiecheng Mountain, leaving only one battalion and more than 1,000 recruits to defend with the dangerous terrain, and the main force of the three detachments rushed to Lag Town overnight to participate in the decisive battle.

The Jacques army was menacing, but the Huaxia army encountered along the way only took a shot, and they ran and retreated to Lag Town with a few bullets casually. The Jacques army attached great importance to the Huaxia army at the beginning, but the clumsy performance of the many firefights in front of them made the Jacques army, from Dagaan to the small soldiers, think that the Huaxia army had no combat effectiveness at all.
