Chapter 548 Birds of a feather flock together

"Immediately send out a liaison boat to bring back all the fleets of Guo You and Zhuo Yiqing. We will temporarily gather at Jilong Port and tell them the news that the US fleet may attack us, so that they must pay attention and not blindly accept the battle."

After sending Su Lin away, Dong Liang quickly asked Yang Yingying to find Zhao Liewen to deliver the order.

At the same time, Yang Yingying was asked to summon the chiefs of various ministries and the officers at home for a meeting.

Both Yang Yingying and Zhao Liewen could sense that Dong Liang was very anxious.

They had never seen Dong Liang speak so hastily.

Zhao Liewen originally wanted to ask a few questions, but he held it back.

He quickly went to convey the order according to Dong Liang's request.

Zhou Tenghu had just been kicked out of his home by his wife. He originally wanted to help his wife decorate the house, but his wife kicked him out because of official duties.

So he rushed to the new office location of the Ministry of Household Affairs and led his officials to start decorating the office space.

In this move, the Household Department actually has the most belongings, and all they have brought with them are some account books.

Next, the warehouses of several households on the Yaeyama Islands will be moved to Anping City.

In the past two days, Zhou Tenghu had to finalize the location of the large warehouse of the household department.

At this time, the attendant's office sent someone to find him for an emergency meeting.

Zhou Tenghu was very anxious when he saw the visitor, and immediately put down his work and rushed to the Headquarters.

Similarly, Liu Fengliang, the president of Dongban Island, was called over even before his butt was warmed up.

Zhang Da, Xiang Ying, and Lin Ben also rushed to the Headquarters.

In addition, the military generals, except Kang Laoba in Taitung, Guo You and Zhuo Yiqing at sea, and several other captains also rushed to the Head of State.

In less than half an hour, everyone had arrived.

Dong Liang informed everyone about the possible attack on Dongfan Island by the American Perry Fleet.

Obviously, this news shocked everyone.

They have just taken control of Dongfan Island. If they are given a little more time to prepare, they will not be afraid even if two American fleets come.

"Führer, if the Americans dare to come, we will let them never come back. They like to travel across the ocean to visit other people's homes, so they might as well stay. Our labor reform brigade can be expanded again, haha."

Ah Fu's words were echoed by all the captains. Everyone had experienced the encirclement and suppression by the British and American coalition forces, so they were not afraid.

"Afu, we can despise the enemy strategically, but we must pay attention to the enemy tactically. This time the Perry fleet is different from the previous combined fleets that encircled and suppressed us. The previous British and American coalition forces were hastily organized and did not know our reality. We

Being able to defeat them is actually a bit of a fluke."

"But this time they are well prepared. The enemy has assembled seven warships, and the total force should be several thousand people. We are weaker than the opponent in terms of combat effectiveness on the sea alone. And they can get some of us from the previous coalition forces.

information."

Dong Liang's words were not to dampen everyone's enthusiasm, but to make everyone pay attention to the enemy.

After experiencing this battle in Dongfan, the entire escort was filled with a sense of pride.

Dong Liang has already realized this and is trying hard to suppress this emotion.

"Führer, then our original plan to attack Zhangzhou will be temporarily shelved." Zhou Tenghu sat there silently, just thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

"Well, I have already sent an order to Mr. Sun, telling him to hibernate for the time being and not to rush into action."

Dong Liang always makes backup plans when making battle plans, and he will never act recklessly.

The original plan to attack Zhangzhou was based on normal circumstances.

But now that the American fleet has arrived, he will not blindly attack Zhangzhou without caring about the lives of his soldiers.

At that time, it is possible that someone will block the escape route at sea, as Zhao Liewen worried.

"Führer, are we going to defend the enemy from the outside of the island, or are we going to lure the enemy deeper and defeat them on land?" Zhou Tenghu's words went straight to the point, and he was much better than those generals with Chinese labor background.

"I think we need to have two plans. We must be fully prepared both at sea and on land." Dong Liang said.

This two-handed preparation is not a fish-and-bear-paw relationship, but a parallel relationship.

At this time, Liu Fengliang said: "Führer, if the enemy is put ashore, then we must prepare in advance to evacuate the people along the coast. We have just established rule on the island. If the people suffer heavy losses because of this battle, it will be very harmful to us Chinese people."

There will be a huge loss in reputation."

"I was about to say this. After the meeting, your General Administrative Office will order all counties to do a good job in mobilizing the people. The militiamen in various places must monitor the movements at sea 24 hours a day. Once the enemy is discovered, they will immediately organize the people to retreat inland. At the same time,

Report the situation to us."

"Here in the military, five brigades must be on standby at any time to form a mobile force to support the enemy's landing point at any time. The training team is responsible for staying in Anping City."

Eighty percent of the teaching team is now made up of newcomers, which can be regarded as a major change of blood. Dong Liang expanded three brigades this time, and the old teaching team was almost used up, so Dong Liang asked them to stay in Anping City.

Dong Liang didn't know when or where the enemy would land, so they could only adopt a passive tactic.

His original plan was to occupy Zhangzhou, but he was also worried that the Qing government would target the island and create this passive defensive situation.

Dong Liang planned to gather his army in Anping City and leave the defense in various places to the garrison.

However, he knew very well that the combat effectiveness of the garrison was not enough to fight against the Americans.

Therefore, the order he issued to the garrison was only to delay the enemy and cover the transfer of the people.

The terrain of the island is high in the middle and flat on both sides. As long as you retreat a hundred miles inland, you can enter the mountainous forest area, which is convenient for the people to hide.

However, the people will not retreat spontaneously, and there must be an organization from the government.

"Good minister, please pass the order to the working groups in various places to protect the lives of the people at all costs. If the land, food, and houses are gone, we can still get them back, but if the lives of the people are gone, then they are really gone."

"Brother Lin Ben, use these two days to strengthen the Luermen Fort at all costs. You can lose other cities, but Anping City must not be lost."

Anping City is now equivalent to the capital of the Chinese people. A large number of people and materials are concentrated here, and Dong Liang must defend it.

At the same time, it also has a very important representative significance. With Anping City here, the people of Dongpan Island can continue to maintain their confidence in the Chinese.

"Führer, we don't have many artillery, but we have produced a lot of rockets during this period. I think they can be deployed on the fort. This will make the speed much faster."

Dong Liang nodded in agreement, but asked Lin Ben to meet the needs of the navy first.

Meetings are meant to brainstorm ideas. No matter how smart Dong Liang's brain is and how thoughtful he is, it is not as good as everyone's brains put together.

Three cobblers can still compete with one Zhuge Liang!

"Führer, we should also pay attention to defense at Yae Mountain. Will the enemy bypass Dongfan Island and attack Yae Mountain directly? After all, they failed there before." Xiang Ying was the one who spoke.

He has always paid little attention to military and political affairs, and only focuses on treating diseases and saving people.

But facing such a crisis situation today, he also joined in everyone's thinking.

Even Zhang Dadu said: "Head of State, since we want to go all out, we might as well carry out a comprehensive mobilization, just to test our militia mobilization capabilities in various places."

"There are more than one million people on Dongfan Island. Even if the grassroots production brigade has just been established, it can still organize hundreds of thousands of militiamen."

Dong Liang adopted the reasonable suggestions put forward by everyone.

Facing the attack of Perry's fleet, Dong Liang prepared to hold on to Anping City and mobilize all militiamen at the same time.

Each county has entered a state of combat readiness. Once the enemy is discovered, the garrison will hold the enemy back, and the militia will assist the people to evacuate.

The escort army will attack the enemy's landing site and concentrate its efforts to destroy the landing enemies.

The escort navy will concentrate all rocket boats to launch a desperate attack on the enemy fleet, and the capital ship will be responsible for the finishing work.
