The 6,000 soldiers of the Huludao garrison did not fire a single shot. Under the pressure of tanks and artillery, they surrendered.
Li Yunlong collected their firearms and ordered the soldiers to repair the tanks and trucks. Then, he personally sent a message to Lin Shu.
"Commander, our army took down Huludao at 10:23 AM. There were no casualties. All six thousand of the Fengs surrendered.”
Staring at the telegram sent by Li Yunlong, Lin Shu wanted to call Zhang Xingzhong over, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
Zhang Xingzhong was as busy as a spinning top.
"Su Yue, call Mr. Zhang Zhizhong over.”
After saying that, he went downstairs to the communication room."Call Li Yunlong back and tell him to act according to the situation. If necessary, he can send a message to the air force for support, but remember not to take any more risks.”
After that, Lin Shu returned to his office and began to calculate and deal with the financial expenditure.
Big Tree Air Force University Project Department: According to the commander's request, it is estimated to cost 2.5 million yuan.
There was no need to talk about education. It was approved!
Big Tree National University of Defense Technology Project Department: According to calculations, it was estimated to cost 2.3 million.
Education, approved!
Luantang Road Project Department: According to the two-way six-lane road construction, it is estimated to cost 350,000 yuan.
The infrastructure was approved!
[Big Tree Tank Manufacturing Company: Insufficient funds. Requires 3 million dollars to recruit talents and purchase related equipment.]
Three million yuan was about 750,000 dollars. Even for Big Tree Company, which had made a profit of 4.7 million dollars last month, it was not a small amount. It was about one-seventh of the total profit.
Lin Shu didn't think for a second and directly approved it. Tanks were essential equipment for the army. It was related to the honor and disgrace of the country. It was of utmost importance and could not be delayed at all.
……
……
"Dong dong dong ~"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Zhang Zhizhong pushed the door open and entered."Big Tree, you were looking for me?"
"Come, sit." When Lin Shu saw who it was, he stopped what he was doing and smiled." Are you used to this place?”
"I'm not used to it. It's mainly because there are too many construction teams here. They often start working before dawn. It's so noisy that people can't sleep.”
Zhang Zhizhong opened a can of Jianlibao on the table very naturally and took a big gulp. Then, he said half-jokingly.
"To be honest, this place is developing really fast. I passed by here in the 18th year. I still remember that it was raining heavily that day, and the surroundings were full of dilapidated, dark mud houses. At that time, the road was still a dirt road, full of potholes and puddles.”
"Unlike now, the mud houses are gone and replaced by rows of five-story buildings. The roads have also become cement roads and street lamps have been installed.”
"It's clean and tidy. Compared to other places, it's like a different world. It's not much inferior to the big western cities I've been to before.”
"Most importantly, there are no more gunshots.”
Ever since he came to Luan County, Zhang Zhizhong had become relaxed. It was as if he had become 10 years younger and had become an 18-year-old young man.
He walked the dog on the street in his big pants all day, played with birds, and bullied children.
"This is just the beginning. One day, I will turn the entire Huaxia into this.”
Lin Shu looked back at the busy street outside the window, and the corners of his mouth curled into a charming arc.
As he laughed, his expression became serious.
"The original 5,000 soldiers of the Tang Shan Prefecture Army, plus the 7,000 soldiers of the Qin Huang Dao Army who are currently being escorted here, I will give you another 1,000 soldiers in a few days. A total of 12,000 soldiers will form the 2nd division of the Great Wall Guards.”
After Zhang Zhizhong heard this, he immediately withdrew the smile on his face and looked at Lin Shu's back expressionlessly. He was silent for a long time.
"Trust me? I was only a vice leader before, and I was even a second leader.”
Lin Shu turned around and looked at Zhang Zhizhong for a long time. Suddenly, he grinned.
"Of course I believe you, but I can't trust those surrendered soldiers for the time being, so the 1,000 elites I'll send to you in a few days will be used for this purpose.”
" Understood." After Zhang Zhizhong received an affirmative answer, he looked relaxed and then finished the remaining half bottle of drink." Let's go."”
"Where are you going?" Lin Shu was stunned. I haven't finished speaking. How can I leave just like that?
"Train the soldiers. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. If those mud soldiers want to have combat strength, it's impossible without a year and a half.”
Zhang Zhizhong said without looking back.
Lin Shu stared at his departing figure and smiled without saying anything. He then sent a telegram to Li Kai.
There were phones in this era, but they needed a line to be used.
"Li Kai, appease the people of Tang Shan and recruit a new army. Set up the Second Firearms Company. I will send the technicians from the First Firearms Company over.”
At the same time.
Li Yunlong, who was far away in Huludao, received a telegram from Lin Shu asking him to act according to the situation. His mind instantly became active.
It was unusually easy to take down the island. Other than firing cannons from afar, there was basically no battle. Moreover, they were all traveling in trucks. There was no sign of them being tired from running.
"Why don't we just go to Jin City in one go?”
He had originally planned to rest and reorganize, but the moment this thought arose, it deeply spiraled and took root in his mind, unable to be removed.
"But the receiving troops sent by the commander haven't arrived yet, and there are 6,000 captives of the Feng army in the city. If I take my men and leave, I'm afraid there will be a mutiny immediately. Not only will I work for nothing, but I might even be caught in a pincer attack.”
This gave the straightforward Li Yunlong a headache. He really wanted to take Jinzhou in one go.
That place was less than 50 kilometers away from where they were. With the speed of all the vehicles on their side, they would only need an hour to rush over.
"Ah, f * ck!"
"Men, tie the hands and feet of those captives together with long ropes. Tie them up tightly and destroy their weapons.”
In the end, Li Yunlong stomped his feet and gritted his teeth. He made up his mind to leave five tanks and 400 people to guard the captives. He would take the remaining 25 tanks and 500 people and march toward Jinzhou at full speed.
It took them only seventy minutes to arrive outside Jinzhou City.
At this moment, the 1,000 soldiers stationed in Jinzhou City had no idea that the Huludao Island had fallen.
Facing the sudden attack, he was caught off guard.
Under the fierce attack of the 20 cannons and the deterrence of the tanks, they acted like they were putting on a show. After firing a few shots at the heavens, they surrendered.
The whole process took less than 15 minutes, and it was very clean.
These people also had their own thoughts.
Why did he resist when he knew he couldn't win? If they surrendered, there was a high chance that they would be spared because they were all from Central China.
However, if they resisted stubbornly, it was very likely that they would die in the cannon fire.
For these people who had no ideals or were not affiliated with any party, they were purely doing this for the sake of the ocean. As for the lower-level soldiers, they were all from China and shared the same roots. They just had to put on an act.
They were all from Central China. What was the difference between Wang and Li occupying this city?
It was not worth risking his life.
