"When we leave the mountain at our feet, it is definitely what Lao Maozi wants to see the most......" Zhao Zhigang followed closely behind......

"For us, the mountain beneath our feet is our protector...... Without him, we lose a lot of advantages......"

"For Lao Maozi, the mountain under his feet is full of traps and murderous plots, as long as they leave here, they can give full play to their advantages......

"It is certain that as soon as we get out of this mountain, Lao Maozi will pounce on us like wolves smelling blood, and fight us in a decisive battle outside the mountain......"

"When the time comes, we will be completely exposed to Lao Maozi's firepower, and we won't even have a chance to escape and hide......"

"Of course, some people will say that Lao Maozi has a heavy machine gun, and we also have ...... Lao Maozi has artillery, and we have it too, even if we have a decisive battle, we have nothing to be afraid of......"

"However, what I want to say is that the heavy machine guns and artillery in our hands are not even a fraction of them compared to Lao Maozi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"As long as we give up the mountain and have a head-on decisive battle with Lao Maozi, our Yangjiazhai regimental training will definitely be defeated......"

After Zhao Zhigang's words of raising the morale of others and destroying his own prestige, Wang Hu, who had never lost a battle since he followed Yang Xingguo, was undoubtedly the first to be unconvinced......

Just as Wang Hu was about to open his mouth to refute, Yang Xingguo suddenly interrupted......

"Okay, don't fight...... Battalion Commander Zhao is not wrong at all, leaving the mountains to fight a decisive battle with Lao Maozi is like hitting a stone with an egg and bringing about our own destruction......"

"So, leave the mountain at your feet and go outside to recruit new soldiers, don't even think about it......"

For these subordinates, Yang Xingguo's words were orders and holy decrees......

Therefore, as soon as Yang Xingguo's words came out, everyone broke off the idea of recruiting soldiers outside the mountain.

At this time, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou Qiangsheng suddenly spoke: "Commander, as far as I know, there are as many as 10,000 people living in this mountain, if you can go through them all, with the treatment of our regimental training, it shouldn't be a problem to recruit 500 recruits......

"The only problem is that it's just too big...... Without a month or two, you can't walk it all over again...... And the old Maozi in the county town outside the mountain can't give us such a long time......"

Just when everyone's faces became more and more gloomy because of this, a smile full of mystery suddenly appeared on Yang Xingguo's face.

Then, he said with a smile on everyone's face: "It seems that you are all confused in the war, a lot of soldiers are around us, and none of you even thought of it......"

"Commander, I understand...... What do you mean those absenteeism in the old Maozi Iron Mine......" Zhou Zhongju's eyes lit up, and he asked with excitement.

"Compared with ordinary people, these absenteeism are more suitable for military ......"

"However, since the last time we took one of their iron mines, the old man of the other iron mines has become extremely cautious. Unless heavy troops are dispatched, it will be difficult to destroy them. ”

"Also, Lao Maozi, who retreated to the county seat, may launch a new round of encirclement and attack on us at any time...... Now take the initiative to attack Lao Maozi, isn't it forcing them to attack us immediately and not give us time to rest? ”

"The idea is very good, but it is very wrong......" Yang Xingguo, who looked mysterious, retorted without thinking about it......

"First of all, we took the initiative to attack Lao Maozi, and we could catch Lao Maozi ......off guard."

"On the surface, since the last time we took one of their iron mines, Lao Maozi's garrison defending each iron mine has been on increased alert...... But, in reality? In order to encircle and suppress us, Lao Maozi directly withdrew more than half of his troops from these iron mines......"

"Because, everyone, including Lao Maozi, couldn't imagine that we would still have the strength to attack their iron ore when we were surrounded and suppressed by their heavy troops......"

"Therefore, although Lao Maozi's vigilance against the major iron mines has become stricter, it is better for us to fight ......"

"As for the possible sneak attack of Lao Maozi's main force on my Yangjiatun, this is indeed a problem......

"However, since the iron mines around us are easier to fight, it will be enough for us to send one battalion at a time...... The remaining troops can stay in Yangjiatun to guard against a possible sneak attack on us by Lao Maozi......"

"Secondly, we took the initiative to attack Lao Maozi Iron Mine, which can not only harvest troops, weapons and ammunition, but also break Lao Maozi's layout against us, and delay Lao Maozi's time to launch the next anti-encirclement and suppression against us......"

"Hit, why don't you fight...... The commander is right, such a good opportunity is in front of us, if we don't fight, then we will be too sorry for Lao Maozi......" In the blink of an eye, the worry on Wang Hu's face disappeared completely. The whole person seemed to have eaten chicken blood and shouted loudly.

Yang Xingguo nodded, not planning to give everyone too much time to digest.

After only a brief moment of hesitation, he ordered, "My idea is...... The three combat battalions, one battalion each time they go out, must be repented within five days, regardless of whether they have won the battle or not...... Other troops, stay in Yangjiatun ......"

In Anshan County, Major General Vasily, who had been adjusted for several days, finally woke up from the blow brought to him by defeat.

Although knowing that the news of his defeat reached the command, the command would most likely directly take himself to a court-martial. However, Major General Vasily still decided to go to Arthur alone and report to the command about the defeat......

However, before he left the county seat of Anshan, the news that an iron mine had been killed by himself and more than 100 imperial soldiers was killed in battle immediately spread to the county seat and to the ears of Major General Vasily......

"Your Excellency, according to the reports of the soldiers who have fled, the enemy who attacked this iron mine has a battalion, and it is also armed with two heavy machine guns......" Colonel Marni hurriedly reported looking at Vasily, who looked embarrassed in front of him......

"Bandits in Yangjiazhai! The ones who attacked our iron mine must be the Yangjiazhai bandits......" Vasily, who gritted his teeth with hatred for Yangjiazhai, said with a gloomy face and a firm face......

"The lowly thinks the same thing...... According to the report of the soldiers who fled...... After attacking the iron mines, these bandits took not only all the weapons, ammunition and finances seized from the iron mines, but also most of the absenteeism......" Colonel Malny replied meaningfully.

"Absenteeism...... What can you do without work? Major General Vasily subconsciously asked.

However, as soon as the words were spoken, something came to his mind.

frowned, and asked Malni rhetorically: "Do the Yangjiazhai bandits want to continue to expand their army......

After saying that, Vasily's already frowning brow wrinkled even deeper at this moment......

Then, his tone was firm and affirmative: "It must be so, although we have lost this encirclement and suppression...... However, the bandits also suffered heavy losses...... They must have wanted to replenish the absenteeism into the troops, make up for the losses, and further expand the army......"

"No, as the biggest enemy of the imperial army in Liaodong, we must not see Yangjiazhai's military strength further expanded......
