Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Lieutenant Colonel Woods, I hope you understand a few points. The opponent's military strength is far superior to ours, and there may be air support. The commander is by no means an idle person. He has received modern military theory in the United States.  An experienced commander who has participated in actual wars in several countries." Lin Rui explained to him.

    "We have no intention of getting involved in your troops, but we must temporarily take over command, because only in this way will we defeat the enemy and survive." Jiang An whispered, "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I know you don't understand this.  But you just have to think about it, if all of them were given to you to command, would you six hundred people survive, and how much would they survive?"

    Woods was silent, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I agree with your suggestion. I will stay at the command post and convey every order to you. They will listen to me."

    "Very good, then take action immediately." Lin Rui waved.

    "But I don't understand. We have built basic defenses before, why do we continue to build them?" Woods frowned.

    Shogan nodded and said, "I have seen the defenses you have built. The defenses are not strong enough and lack layers of defense. Once a single point is breached, the entire line will collapse. I have already drawn up the new defense layout.  I have drawn it for you. Although time is a bit tight, at least it can further strengthen the original defense system."

    Woods nodded, turned around and walked out with the map.  After handing over this new defense deployment to his men, there was immediate opposition, "Our manpower is limited. If we follow this new defense deployment, we may not be able to complete it even if it takes ten more days. With this  In ten days, I¡¯m afraid the opposition armed forces have already attacked.¡±

    "Yes, we have insufficient manpower to begin with, and if we continue such intensive labor, we will tire ourselves out before the enemy comes." Someone immediately nodded and said, "This defense plan is not feasible."

    "I have a way that may help you complete it within a few days." Lin Rui stood up and said, "The war is about to start. You can mobilize the people of Nalan'er and ask them to help build the fortifications."

    "This is a good idea. I will go back and arrest people immediately. I will arrest hundreds of civilians at random, and then find someone to watch them work day and night. I will try to complete it within a few days." A black officer immediately agreed, "This is a good idea."

    "This is a stupid move." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "You will completely lose the hearts of the people if you do this."

    "But, sir, isn't that what you said?" The black officer looked at him strangely.

    "But, I didn't force you to force them to do it." Lin Rui sighed, "Can't you use your brains? There is going to be a war here. What are the citizens most nervous about now?"

    "Of course they are preparing to escape." The black officer said in astonishment, "Those peacekeeping forces have set up a refugee shelter in a town outside the city. But we have sealed off everywhere, and they can't escape even if they want to."

    "You immediately issue an order that all citizens who volunteer to help dig and build fortifications will be issued passes immediately after the fortifications are completed. Those who obtain the passes will be able to leave Nalaner with the passes. You can even send them to nearby refugees  Take refuge in the shelter." Lin Rui said with a smile, "In this case, the citizens will probably rush to help you build fortifications. Why don't you bother arresting people and cause complaints?"

    "Thisis true." The black officer suddenly realized, but he frowned and said, "But what about those women and children?"

    "This is also simple. You can only restrict young and middle-aged men to leave. On the one hand, organize manpower to transport these women and children to refugee shelters. On the other hand, their families are safe, and young and middle-aged men can work with peace of mind. And, who doesn't  Are you willing to finish your work early and reunite with your wife and children? This is more effective than arranging ten supervisors with whips. And you have also earned a good reputation for caring for the citizens." Lin Rui shrugged and said, "Why?  Not?"

    Lieutenant Colonel Woods slapped the table and said, "Do what Mr. Lin said immediately!"

    Lin Rui¡¯s method was very effective. On the one hand, the atmosphere of panic in the city was greatly reduced, and most of the women and children were sent out of the city.  Transported to refugee shelters where peacekeeping troops are stationed.  On the one hand, a large number of citizens spontaneously came to help build fortifications, bringing their own dry food and carrying picks and shovels.  The team is vast, and when they work, they work hard.

    Even in one defense area, a trench several hundred meters long and chest-high was dug within an hour.  With the large number of people, the efficiency of this shoulder-carrying operation is almost faster than that of an excavator.  The excavated soil was put into bags and piled into high piles, with barbed wire behind them.  These Mawo soldiers were stunned.  In their eyes, these Nalaner citizens were going crazy.

      Jiang An, Jason and others took turns inspecting and commanding almost every defense zone.  Work will not stop until it fully meets their requirements.  The progress of the fortifications, which was originally estimated to take more than ten days to complete, was completed in just two days. This is simply a miracle.  In the past few days, no one in the Mawo soldiers, including Lieutenant Colonel Woods, dared to look down on mercenaries like Lin Rui anymore.

    Even when Lieutenant Colonel Woods mentioned Lin Rui, he couldn't help but refer to him as a commander.  Lin Rui was also busy taking turns wandering around each defense zone.  He knew that this battle would be a cruel test. If he prepared for an extra minute now, he might be able to survive the pressure of the enemy for an extra hour, or even for an extra day.

    Lin Rui stood on a high place, looking at the relatively flat river beach opposite, frowning and asking, "How are the defense arrangements there?"

    "Three trenches, two minefields, plus barbed wire to defend the infantry. There are also minefields deployed behind the anti-infantry barbed hooks. There are crossfires from these directions without blind spots. Unless you encounter an amphibious tank surprise attack  , or suffered an air attack, it is difficult for infantry alone to break through." Jason said slowly.

    "Honestly, Jason, how sure do you think we are of holding on to this place?" Lin Rui said calmly.

    "It depends on who is coming. If it is the ragtag Mawo opposition. If I give them two months, they will only lose their troops. But if it is the secret society armed forces, the consequences will be difficult to predict." Jason sighed.  He said in one breath, "There are too many variables."

    "Jason, you are an American who often hangs out with Chinese people like me, but you have become reserved." Lin Rui said calmly, "We all know that if they have air support, we can keep Nalaner's hope.  Even less than 30%. All these fortifications are for infantry. If they use helicopters to land directly into the city to start street fighting, our black buddies will be defeated if they cannot withstand a few attacks."
