After some hesitation, Vasily directly made up his mind and said: "It seems that I can't go to the headquarters of the Lushun garrison......"

"Colonel Marni, I have decided to ask you to take my handwritten letter to the Arthur Headquarters and ask for help from His Excellency the Commander...... I personally sat in Anshan County, commanded the remaining troops and the two garrison regiments in Anshan, and prevented Yangjiazhai from further expansion......"

"As soon as the reinforcements you brought from Lushun arrive, Colonel Marni, we will launch a final attack on the Yangjiazhai bandits......"

Colonel Malny didn't say much about this decision?

However, in order to feel at ease when he went to Lushun, Colonel Malny couldn't help but ask......

"Your Excellency General, I don't know how you plan to stop the Yangjiazhai bandits from expanding ......"

A sneer quickly flashed across Major General Vasily's face before he spoke......

"Colonel Malny is worried that I will disperse my limited troops into various iron mines and divide them for defense!"

"Don't worry, I will never make such a stupid decision......"

"Although the strength of the Yangjiazhai bandits has suffered great losses, their heavy firepower has become stronger...... If we divide our forces, the limited firepower will be dispersed, and the Yangjiazhai bandits will have a chance to defeat each of us......"

"More importantly, in this way, the initiative on the battlefield is in the hands of the Yangjiazhai bandits......"

The worry on Colonel Malny's face was relieved by this. www.biquge.info However, he continued to ask inquiringly.

"What are your plans, Your Excellency?"

Colonel Marni's repeated questioning made Major General Vasily have a displeased expression on his face.

However, when he saw Marni's heartfelt concern, he still suppressed the anger in his heart and opened his mouth to answer.

"My idea is very simple, concentrate all the forces and firepower and approach Yangjiatun ......"

"The Yangjiazhai bandits can attack us and make us fall into passivity...... Then we can also attack them and force them to dare not continue to divide their forces to attack our iron mines......"

"Of course, when I say offense, I don't really attack ......"

"After you leave, I will transfer a few companies from the garrison to supplement the field troops, so that your field regiment can reach full strength......

"The strength of a field regiment only needs to be stationed less than two miles away from Yangjiatun, and put on a posture that may attack at any time. I guarantee that the bandits in Yangjiatun will never dare to send a single soldier out from now on......"

"In this way, the bandits of Yangjiazhai will be trapped in Yangjiatun because of our soldiers' pressure and will not be able to move......"

Speaking of this, Major General Vasily seemed to think of something, and continued to say with a high face: "In my letter to the commander, in addition to asking for reinforcements, the most important thing is heavy machine gun and artillery support...... As long as we have enough heavy machine guns and artillery, we can immediately launch an attack on the Yangjiazhai bandits......"

After seeing the confidence on Vasily's face, the worry on Colonel Malny's face finally disappeared.

However, this expression did not last long, and the worried expression that had just disappeared resurfaced on Colonel Malni's face.

Facing Major General Vasily, he continued to ask: "But, Your Excellency General, the Yangjiazhai bandits today are not the Yangjiazhai bandits of a few days ago. They were armed not only with a large number of heavy machine guns, but also with six mountain guns that had just captured us......"

"With such a lot of firepower, I am afraid that the strength of a regiment will be too small......"

"No, no...... Colonel Marney, you're worrying too much. Do you think that my command ability is not as good as yours......" At this time, Major General Vasily finally vented his dissatisfaction with Marni......

Then, as if hearing a great digestion, he retorted with a mocking face: "Artillery, the bandits did capture six of our artillery...... But, do you think that in the midst of this group of bandits, someone will use such advanced artillery......"

"No, I can answer this question in the affirmative...... Absolutely nothing...... In the entire Qing Dynasty, not to mention a bandit, even the regular army of the Qing court, it is difficult to find a person who can use artillery......"

Although Marni agreed with this point of view, he still reminded him very dutifully: "Your Excellency, please think twice...... Chinese There is a saying that says well, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, and we should be prepared or ......"

"Enough, Colonel Marney, you're enough...... Don't forget, you're just a colonel, and I'm a major general, or your division commander, do I have to listen to you when I command the troops to fight? At this time, Vasily finally became angry. At Colonel Malny, he cursed loudly.

Faced with the wrath of Major General Vasily, all Colonel Marni could do was keep his mouth shut.

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed.

After two days of replenishment, the field infantry regiment, which had lost more than half of its strength, once again reached full strength.

Looking at the two thousand soldiers in front of him, Major General Vasily regained his confidence again.

With only a small amount of baggage, he killed out of Anshan County.

In the face of Lao Maozi's heavy attack, although Yang Xingguo used the sparrow war to the extreme, Major General Vasily, who had suffered a big loss, would rather lose more than 100 soldiers than divide the troops......

After a day of arduous marching, more than 1,800 soldiers led by Vasily finally attacked a small village two miles away from Yangjiatun before dark, and regarded this village as his next station.

In the next two days, more than 1,800 old Maozi directly turned into earth repairmen and began to build defensive positions around the village, putting on a posture of defending here......

In the small headquarters of Yangjiatun, Wang Hu, who had just come back from reconnaissance around the Lao Maozi military camp, was like an angry lion, and roared with dissatisfaction: "Commander, what does Lao Maozi want to do...... Blocking the gate of our barracks, not attacking or retreating, is simply too arrogant......"

"Also, these days should have been the days when my second battalion took the initiative...... However, they blocked the entrance of our barracks, and we couldn't escape them with every move, and there was no way to get out......"

Among the several battalion commanders, Zhao Zhigang, who has the most outstanding strategy, has obviously seen Lao Maozi's purpose.

As soon as Wang Hu finished venting, he followed closely and replied unhurriedly: "Commander, Deputy Commander Wang...... Not surprisingly, the purpose of these more than 1,000 old Maozi is to block the gate of our barracks with heavy troops and prevent us from attacking their iron ore again......"

"Lao Maozi is too cunning, with superior forces blocking the gate of our barracks, he can trap us here, so that our plan to expand the army by taking the initiative has to go bankrupt in advance......"

"Of course, in the process of blocking the main gate of our barracks, if we can't help but attack them. Then these more than 1,000 old hairmen can kill and injure us in large numbers by helping them defend......"

"Lao Maozi is calculating......" After listening to Zhao Zhigang's analysis, Zhou Zhongju couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
