Tens of thousands of people stared at the cold wind to open up the wasteland in Liaozhong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The families of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army also rushed to Liaozhong one after another to reunite with their families who joined the Liaodong Army......

No matter which way you look at it, the Liaodong Army and the entire Liaozhong are developing in the direction of prosperity.

However, when the Intelligence Bureau was still in its infancy, Yang Xingguo did not see that behind the superficial prosperity, there were many unknown undercurrents surging.

The Liaodong Army formed garrisons and garrisoned them in various villages to monitor the movements of the landlords and gentry.

This decision, like a horsewhip, whipped these landlord gentry had to speed up contact with the Russian army.

If the Russian army does not come for a day, they will be under the surveillance of the Liaodong Army for a day, and there will be no freedom......

Lao Maozi is located in the Land Defense Command in Lushun City, and he will always be high in front of ordinary people, at this moment, he is like a slave who has made a mistake, standing in front of Lieutenant General Kondelachnko with a flattering face, waiting for Lieutenant General to give him a reply......

To the disappointment of Master Li, although he took out 20,000 taels of silver on behalf of the gentry of Liao, Lieutenant General Kondelachko still sat firmly on Diaoyutai and did not say a word.

As if he hadn't seen the 20,000 taels of silver in front of him, there was not the slightest fluctuation on his calm face......

"Your Excellency, Commander...... If you think 20,000 taels of silver is too little...... We can also raise 20,000 taels of silver. After the army entered Liaozhong, all the grain and grass needed by the army were also supplied by our people......"

"I just hope that His Excellency the Commander can send troops as soon as possible to enter Liaozhong and eliminate the Liaodong Army ........"

40,000 taels of silver...... Even if you are a lieutenant general in the empire, it will take a year or two to earn it.

Although the commander of the Far East has already determined the specific time for sending troops to the Liaodong Army.

However, as soon as the brave Russian army had the help of these landlord gentry, the problems faced by the troops in winter would be solved.

More importantly, with the participation and help of these landlords and gentry, the success rate of exterminating the Liaodong Army by themselves will become even greater.

Therefore, as soon as Master Li raised his price, Lieutenant General Kondrachenko made a decision in his heart......

In order to get the support of these landlords and gentry, get the 40,000 taels of silver promised by Master Li, and at the same time to prevent the Liaodong Army from gaining a firm foothold in Liaozhong, Lieutenant General Kondelachchenko resolutely decided to change the planned encirclement and suppression plan and launch an encirclement and suppression operation against the Liaodong Army in advance.

Hutou Town, the first battalion of the Liaodong Army...... Lao Maozi's main force from Anshan, if he wants to enter Liaozhong, he must take Hutou Town from the first battalion of the Liaodong Army.

Because Lao Maozi had landlords and gentry who were familiar with the terrain to lead the way. The five thousand old Maozi with the cannon walked less than thirty miles away from Hutou Town before he was discovered by the army sent out by the first battalion.

Looking at the face of more than half of the loss and embarrassed, there are still a lot of injured people doing shifts.

The first battalion commander, Zhou Qiangsheng, was directly shocked.

Of course, shock is shock, and Zhou Qiangsheng still reacted immediately.

In the face of the invasion of Lao Maozi's strong enemy, Zhou Qiangsheng's first thought was the fortifications that had been dug outside the town for more than ten days.

If you want to defend Hutou Town, you can't avoid confrontation and defense head-on.

And in order to achieve the maximum result with the least cost of frontal relief, a good fortification is inevitable.

Therefore, from the moment the 1st Battalion took Hutou Town, the 1st Battalion began to build fortifications outside the town.

Li Zhilong...... Call Li Zhilong over to me...... "Thinking of the fortifications, Zhou Qiangsheng immediately thought of Li Zhilong, who had just been promoted to company commander.

Soon, Li Zhilong, who was covered in mud, rushed over panting......

"Battalion commander, what are you looking for me?" Li Zhilong asked Zhou Qiangsheng directly.

"Of course there is something ......," Zhou Qiangsheng, who frowned, immediately replied.

Then, he asked Li Zhilong: "Li Zhilong, you are the only one in our battalion who has gone to a military school." That's why I value you, and I've entrusted you with the task of building fortifications......"

"Now, ten days have passed, and I wonder how the fortifications are going......

When it comes to the fortifications, Li Zhilong, who returned from studying in Germany, looks confident......

Without thinking about it, he replied: "Please rest assured that the fortifications have no problems at all......"

"I used all the three-dimensional fortifications invented by the commander, and I also added a lot of machine gun bunkers......"

"In addition, we seized dozens of bales of cement from Lao Maozi, and I also used all of them in the critical parts of the fortifications......

"I promise, those fortifications, blocking Lao Maozi's five rounds of artillery coverage, there is no problem at all......"

Zhou Qiangsheng's eyes lit up, and he said with a satisfied face: "If there is really such a stake, this time, as long as we block Lao Maozi's attack, you Li Zhilong will be the first merit...... When the time comes, you, the acting company commander, will be turned into a regular ......."

Li Zhilong was stunned for a moment, and asked with an incredible face......

"Old Maozi...... Battalion commander, you're saying that Lao Maozi is going to attack us......"

Zhou Qiangsheng nodded and replied with a solemn face: "Not bad...... It's Lao Maozi who is here...... Our patrol squad has already fought with them. It was an official road thirty miles away, with more than 5,000 people, more than 10 mountain guns, and more than 20 heavy machine guns......"

"Hiss......" At this time, even after graduating from the military academy, the well-informed Li Zhilong couldn't help but gasp.

At this time, Zhou Qiangsheng's face became relaxed, and he smiled at Li Zhilong......

"What, Li Zhilong...... You're scared. You know, before you joined the Liaodong Army, we all encountered a more dangerous situation than this......"

"There are many old Maozi people, but my Liaodong Army is not a vegetarian......"

"Don't say anything else, let's just talk about firepower, Lao Maozi's regiment can't compare to one of my battalions......"

"As long as your fortifications are strong enough, I have the confidence to hold out with a battalion until the commander arrives......"

"Alright, cheer up. From now on, you only give me one question...... How to lead a platoon, with minimal casualties, block Lao Maozi's attack, and prevent Lao Maozi from entering Liaozhong......"

After Zhou Qiangsheng finished speaking, Li Zhilong's face turned red directly from shame.

After a short hesitation, he assured very decisively: "Please rest assured, the battalion commander, I, Li Zhilong, will not disgrace you......"

Speaking of this, Li Zhilong thought of something, and proposed with a hesitant face to Zhou Qiangsheng: "Battalion commander, you just said that the firepower of one of our battalions has exceeded that of Lao Maozi's regiment...... In that case, why don't we find a way to give Lao Maozi a ......?"

"Lao Maozi is strong, if we can give them a head start and eat hundreds of them in an instant, it will definitely have some unexpected effects......

"A bad one, it can also make Lao Maozi misestimate our strength, and when attacking us, he is timid......"

"In this way, we can hold out until the commander arrives at the lowest cost...... Of course, it can also inflict a lot of damage on Lao Maozi and weaken their strength......"

Zhou Qiangsheng immediately fell into deep thought. Soon, a pair of eyes full of hesitation shot out two fine lights.

Then, he said in a firm tone: "Good way...... People who have gone to military school just have different brains...... I like that if the Commander were here, the Commander would agree to do so......"
