As one of the gateways to Ruzhou, Linru Town is of course also in the sequence of Chen Jiajun's city wall 'repairing and reinforcing'. In Chen Jiajun's design, Linru Town, as a strategic support point between Yiyang and Ruzhou City, has the highest urban defense strength, and Chen Jiajun built Linru Town into a second Phoenix Terrace, which cannot be moved.

The current city wall of Linru Town is two zhang high platform base to lay the bottom, on which a series of open walls and closed or semi-closed artillery forts are arranged, there are three trenches outside the town, the side of the trench facing Linru Town is also provided with a breast wall, there are two trenches arranged during the period, the position is arranged with a closed fortress, and there are two closed pillboxes on the east and west north and south sides of Linru Town.

The size and space of the bunker are larger than the fort, each bunker can place five to ten people, which is stocked with food, water, coal and ammunition, even if the town of Linru and the bunker are forcibly separated by the enemy, according to the material reserves of the bunker, the people inside can hold on to seven to ten days of high-intensity fighting.

The person in charge of the battle command of Linru Town and Yiyang City is Chen Jianbai, and the head of the battalion under his command is stationed in Yiyang, and the formation of Linru Town is an independent brigade with two combat teams and a logistics team, with more than 200 people, who are assigned to him to command and dispatch. The chief and deputy commanders of the independent brigade were none other than the two who came to Qingtiaoling: Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua.

After the two of them blackmailed Hot Spring Town, they became the existence of the Chen family's army, catching up with a lot of wars, but they failed to make a conspicuous contribution. Moreover, the bandit atmosphere on these two people was too strong, even if they wore the Chen family's military uniform and stood with military resources, it always made Chen Ming feel incongruous. Reuse was exempted, but it didn't cool the hearts of the two, the independent team was upgraded to an independent brigade, and the two of them were given two combat teams and a logistics team, and they were put to the north. In the end, when the troops demarcated the defense area, the two of them and the town of Linru where they were located came under Chen Jianbai's hands.

In the final analysis, Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua are old bandits, and the team they lead is at least much stronger than other independent teams and logistics battalion leaders, and Linru Town was handed over to the two of them, and Chen Ming took a fancy to the ruthlessness of the two.

The Qing army pressed the border, the original people of Linru Town fled one after another, there were only more than 200 people in the independent brigade in the empty town, and they were reluctant to leave their belongings or could not go, and other miscellaneous reasons left the residents of 100 towns.

……

Lushan County Middle School.

The remaining rookies in several recruit camps were still assembled, and the boys over the age of twelve in the boy boy camp were all assembled in the county seat.

There are not many people left in the former, but there are more than 400 in the latter, including Pan Mancang and Pan Manchu brothers. Their structure has also changed, and it is no longer the third team of the Boy Scout Battalion, but the first battalion and the second team of the Boy Scouts.

Pan Mancang, who performed well in the training camp, continued to be his squad leader, but the platoon deputy was gone. Seventy percent of the officers above the platoon commander of the Scout are adults, and the rest are also fifteen or sixteen years old, close to adult youth.

Pan Manchu prefers to stay in the city. Because the food here is better than in the boy camp, and there are people who listen to books and plays, and the training is not as intensive as the boy camp.

In the afternoon, it was just light off-road, and Pan Manchu no longer had to tie sandbags to his legs and feet, and he didn't need to carry sandbags, so the light off-road in the afternoon was very easy. After eating, I watched another Tartar opera -- Chen Jiajun determined the central theme and plot, and then let those Xiucai who were caught by himself polish and polish it, so that the choreography of the singing opera was well arranged, and it was frequently performed in the area under his own control.

The plots of this kind of drama are different, but the main meaning is roughly the same, they are all corrupt officials and harm people. Chen Hui was born in a hereditary soap coat, and he has seen more and heard more about the harmful deeds of officials, as long as he puts the identity of the flag man on the head of the official, it is OK. Those corrupt officials from the banner people and the gentry who treated these corrupt officials as dogs or colluded with the same stream were so hateful after they were performed in the form of drama that they quickly became famous in the Chen Jiajun territory. The common people and the soldiers of the Chen family army love to watch it. Of course, no one is a fool, and those officials in the drama are all banner people, which obviously means something, so with Lushan County as the center, the common people call this kind of drama Tartar play.

After watching the Tartar play, Pan Manchu's spirit was so high that he couldn't sleep when he lay down on the bed. "Brother, give you a chicken to eat."

Pan Mancang glanced at his younger brother in surprise, "Where did you get the chicken?" After a short pause, he said in a sudden tone: "You didn't eat the chicken sent out in the morning?" The tone was already a little harsh.

"Of course I ate the chicken that was sent out in the morning. The wotou I ate at noon was exchanged for meat buns with the master of the room. Brother, you eat quickly......" Pan Manchu really hopes to see his eldest brother grow stronger and stronger. It's best to be like the platoon leader, who is only fifteen years old and five and a half feet tall, and his arms are thicker than Pan Manchu's thighs.

But how could Pan Mancang snatch his brother's eggs to eat? Yes, in the eyes of Pan Mancang at the moment, that is, he is 'robbing' Pan Mancang. "You eat it yourself, you're growing your body right now." Pan Mancang used a phrase often said by the cooking master in the Boy Scouts.

……

In Linru Town, the first squad leader of the first platoon of the first team after eating did not take a leisurely walk around the surroundings as before, but sharpened his bayonet vigorously. The broad and sturdy back sat there sharpening the knife for a while, and the sound of the stabbing blade and stone grinding made the two recruits in the squad look nervous.

This posture is obvious, Linru Town is going to war, and they are going to really fight for their lives.

The older man said to the people around him: "The officers and soldiers may come over tomorrow, but I can tell you, when it's time to fight hard, learn to be smarter, don't fight and ignore the formation." "But it is not for the young man to cheat and play tricks, if he is found to be working on this battlefield, but if he is going to be knifed, it is better to be sent to a labor camp.

The young man nodded approvingly: "I remember, otherwise I would have been beaten by the military judge because of this." ”

It's just that the young man thinks more, "Brother, there are only more than 200 people in our brigade, but there are thousands of officers and soldiers outside, how can this be carried out." If the town is broken......" The young man's voice was very low. But even so, these few words made the older man look around nervously, lest he be heard.

"Get out of here, don't bother me if you want to die. Are you going to die when you say this? You are shaking the morale of the army, and it is terrible to be heard by others. The older man couldn't wait to devour the guy in front of him in one bite, "Don't forget how we got here, more than a dozen men were stabbed because of our brother's informant, and we can't afford to straighten up on the side of the government in this life." You and I have cut off our braids, and all of them were stabbed when we were caught by officers and soldiers, don't think about living. Don't be stupid—"
