Xu Lie returned to Mengyin through the "arms warehouse", not worried about the internal war situation. The pen www.biquge.info the interior of the operation, there are two main regiments and artillery battalions, in addition to a new regiment. Xu Lie believed that even if it was a new regiment, as long as it was defended according to the danger, it was not something that the Qing court's green battalion soldiers could deal with.

Xu Lie's return to Mengyin was because his previous operational deployment tended to be conservative. Those guys were scared enough by the 50,000 troops of the Qing army, which caused Xu Lie's arrangement to have some problems.

Hearing that Xu Lie was back, Yuan Yong, chief of staff of the Mengshan Army, Wang Changjiang, director of the training department, Li Jun, director of the political department, Wang Qinian, director of the intelligence department, Hu Wenhui, head of the second regiment, and Xu De, the cheap father, who stayed in Mengyin City, got the news and quickly came to the conference room.

Xu Lie first asked about the situation of the internal operation. Yuan Yong gave a very detailed explanation.

The inner line, two days ago, had exchanged hands with the Qing army's green battalion, and the two sides are currently fighting in Qingtuo Gorge. The Mengshan Army arranged a main battalion, a recruit battalion and a mountain artillery company in Qingtuo Gorge, with a strength of about 1,500 people, under the command of Wang Ye, the commander of the third regiment.

In the two days of fighting, the Qing army left more than 3,000 lives, and another 3,000 may have been wounded, the new battalion of the Mengshan army had some casualties, and the main battalion of the third regiment had only some soldiers slightly wounded.

The green battalion of the Qing army also had artillery, but it was all old-fashioned artillery, unlike Yuan Shikai's new army, which was equipped with high-powered artillery made by Krupp.

However, because the terrain of Qingtuo Gorge is narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the Qing army attacking upward, the whole situation is very favorable to the Mengshan army. However, because Xu Lie's task for the inner line was not to allow Meng Yin City to know, even if the inner line had some strength to fight back, he didn't dare to move.

Judging from the situation reported by Yuan Yong, the Mengshan Army fought better on the inner line than on the outside line, but on the whole, it should be that the Mengshan Army made fewer mistakes in defensive operations, but when attacking or facing a complex situation, there were still various problems in the operational command, such as Yan Qiubai and Ma Qianli, the former was quite chaotic when attacking, and Ma Qianli forgot his own response when he encountered the enemy's more means.

As soon as Xu Lie summed up in his heart, he also told everyone about the situation of the battle of Laiwu, and when he learned that the sugar grass of the tens of thousands of troops of the Qing army could only last for three days at most, the major leaders in Mengyin City suddenly became elated, Mao, if this is the case, how long can Nie Shicheng last? In particular, Yuan Yong and other civil officials who surrendered to Xu Lie before seemed to be a little happier than ordinary military attachés.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I came back this time to take away the main second regiment, and two days later, I decided to launch an attack on Nie Shicheng's troops! The entire outer front operation should be completed within five days. Are there any problems with the storage location? ”

"No problem." Hu Wenhui, the head of the Second Regiment, immediately excitedly agreed. At present, the first and third regiments are fighting outside, but his second regiment remains in Mengyin County, although he also knows that obeying the overall situation and arrangements is the natural mission of a soldier, but he is always unhappy when he can't fight.

"Commander, I thought you were back to preside over the counteroffensive, but it turned out to be a troop transfer." Yuan Yong said with a smile.

"A group of green battalions, is it worth counterattacking? As long as Nie Shicheng and Yuan Shikai are defeated, these green camps will still only be scattered as birds and beasts? Xu Lie said confidently.

"Who said it wasn't a counterattack, the commander was going to fight back directly on the outside." Tang Zhan, the head of the second regiment, naturally supported Xu Lie's decision.

"Okay, you immediately prepare to set off, and when you arrive in the north of Laiwu, you will join the first regiment and accept the command of Du Ning!" Xu Lie was silent for a moment, he originally wanted the second regiment to march lightly, but after thinking about it, he should be a soldier. The current Mengshan Army, combat is training, training is combat, and it must mature as soon as possible [if it is not mature, readers will have opinions].

……

"Oh, Xu Lie, aren't you on the front line, why are you back in the shadows?" At the end of the meeting, Xu Lie had just returned to his cheap father's house and was about to have a meal with his father, when a beautiful voice appeared in Xu Lie's ears.

"Oh, Qiu Tang, is that you?" Xu Lie was also a little surprised. He and Yan Qiutang, although they did not say it explicitly, but the entire Mengshan Army knew that Yan Qiutang was the daughter-in-law of the commander, so Yan Qiutang's status in the Mengshan Army was second only to Xu Lie and Xu De, and almost ranked third with Chief of Staff Yuan Yong.

"Why can't it be me?" Yan Qiutang asked rhetorically. After more than half a year of study, this little girl has made rapid progress, with hundreds of family names and thousand-character texts, not only can read and memorize, but also write them all.

"Hehe, I didn't mean that, I mean you're not in class? How can you have time to run around at this time? Xu Lie asked.

"Xu Lie, don't talk nonsense, what am I calling it nonsense, I heard that you came back, I have something to look for you." When Yan Qiutang said this, her face suddenly turned red, it turned out that she had made a mistake in her words.

But Xu Lie didn't notice this detail, but asked, "What's the matter, you want to find me?" ”

"Xu Lie, that's the case, some of our girls, after learning culture, feel that you men are fighting on the front line, shedding blood and sacrificing, and we also ask to join the army and fight side by side with you!"

"What? Asked to join the troops, to fight alongside us? Who came up with the idea? "Xu Lie is really stunned, is it true that the women of the Dragon Kingdom are really easy to be instigated by the Shenma people?

"The idea of all of us." Yan Qiutang set up an ambush here, in fact, it was her personal idea, but after she proposed it, those girls were supportive.

Speaking of which, Mengyin is no longer an old society, but rather a new society. What is the meaning of this? This is very easy to understand, because Xu Lie brought some TV repertoire from the original time and space, especially some scenery documentaries from all over the world, don't underestimate these things, on the surface it looks nothing, men and women are polite, but in essence, it embodies the idea of equality between men and women, obviously, Yan Qiutang discovered this essence.

"This ...... It's not impossible to be a soldier, but it's certainly not okay to go to the battlefield. Xu Lie thought about it, there were also female officers in the original time and space Chang Kaishen troops, mainly engaged in secretarial, telegraph and other work, and it seemed that the effect was not bad. Your own Mengshan Army might as well consider it from this perspective.

"Why?" Yan Qiutang asked rhetorically.

"Not why. Because you have made two requests, I cannot agree to all of them, so I can promise you to be a soldier, but I cannot promise you to go to war. When Xu Lie said this, he was obviously bullying.

"Well, just be a soldier, not go to the battlefield. It's just that if we only serve as soldiers and don't let the battlefield, what do we do? Yan Qiutang agreed to Xu Lie's arrangement, but a new problem appeared in this girl's mind.

Seeing Yan Qiutang's serious appearance, Xu Lie still decided to tell the truth: "The female soldiers of the Mengshan Army have two things to do. One is to serve as a medical soldier to treat the wounded; The second is to work as a telegraph operator, sending telegrams to combat units to transmit instructions and information. ”
