Chapter 1460 Many Difficulties

Although what Sha Xi said was not too pleasant to hear, it was indeed true. Because the area had long since been cleared by Hou Jin and all the people had been relocated, the manpower needed by Haihan to develop Liaodong could only be organized from other places and transported across the sea.

This method of immigration is time-consuming, laborious and inefficient, and is far less smooth than the development of new colonies in the south in the past. Judging from the current development progress, it is indeed very likely that tent settlements will exist locally for a long time.

Of course, for the immigrants from Phi Island, living in tents may not be a difficult situation. After all, they also used tents as their main residence when they were on Phi Island, and their living conditions may not be as good as those provided by Haihan for the exclusive use of the troops.

Extra-large marching tent. Although the work here is tiring, there is no need to worry about food and housing. After working every day, at least there is enough food. The last and most important thing is that the Haihan people also promised to provide them with military protection. To these helpless people

For the common people, there is really nothing to find fault with.

Liu Shanxia said with a straight face: "The original resettlement plan did not have the option of arranging the immigrants to live in tents for a whole year. How can we find tents to accommodate thousands of people in this short period of time? Unless all the tents of the frontline troops are taken back

, I guess I can get the amount you mentioned... Just go talk to Qian Tiandun yourself and see if he will show you a real fall out."

Sha Xi smiled and was not angry because of Liu Shanxia's rebuttal. A general like Qian Tiandun who obviously had a tendency to protect his own shortcomings would never trade the interests of his own troops even if he cared about the lives of the people in Dongjiang Town. Of course he

I won't touch a tiger's butt for this matter. If you really dare to suggest that the frontline troops free up their tents for immigrants to live in, I'm afraid they won't look good when they meet Qian Tiandun in the future.

"Of course I can't afford to offend Commander Qian, but the problem is here and we must find a way to solve it." Sha Xiping said calmly: "Of course the military will not feel anxious. The military and civilians are separated and resettled. They only need to be responsible for the skin.

Everything will be fine if nothing happens to the island army, but I have to take responsibility for the resettlement of these immigrants. When procrastination causes problems, the executive committee will definitely blame me. Lao Liu, do you think I can

Are you in a hurry?"

When Liu Shanxia heard what he said, he felt that his previous attitude seemed a bit too much. He scratched his head and said: "I've been running around in two directions these days. I've been so busy that I'm dizzy. I'm also a little angry. Don't take it personally if I say something wrong."

Sha Xi shook his head and said: "Old Liu, after all, you are a technocrat, and the misunderstanding is because you don't know enough about administrative matters. I won't blame you. If the resettlement work in Dongjiang Town cannot be solved, I will

It is also difficult to advance the policy plan in Liaodong. I don’t know how much time the executive committee can give me, but if I can’t do the basic work well in the first year, I might be recalled to Sanya by a telegram to hand over the official seal.

Already."

During his tenure in Guangdong, Sha Xi had dealt with people from all walks of life for several years. In terms of his ability to deal with people, he was naturally better than Liu Shanxia, ​​who spent almost all his time on construction sites everywhere.

The mood has changed.

Liu Shanxia took the cigarette handed over by Sha Xi, lit it and took a few puffs, and then said: "How about this, put aside the projects that can be saved and postponed now, and send more

We need some manpower to process the wood. As for the lack of tools, we need to transfer goods from Shandong as soon as possible. Whether it’s buying or grabbing, we can get a batch as soon as possible. If we can find craftsmen such as carpenters and blacksmiths, it’s best to work together.

Tie them up and bring them here! As long as the building materials problem is solved, the following links will be smooth. To implement the infrastructure plan I formulated, the existing manpower is actually enough. Since we cannot accept more immigrants now, then

Let Dongjiang Town stop sending more immigrants here for the time being, and just try to solve the bottleneck first."

Liu Shanxia's suggestion sounds a bit arrogant and unreasonable, but for a powerful force like Haihan to deal with the problem in this way, it will undoubtedly be the most efficient. This may cause a small chaos in Shandong, but if it is done

It may only take a few days to obtain the method and solve this series of problems.

Sha Xiwang looked at Chen Yixin and said, "Do you think you should ask the headquarters for instructions on this matter?"

Chen Yixin responded: "Try to save time as much as possible. Let's work together on both sides. You can rush the work in Shandong and leave it to me to take care of the headquarters!"

"Then I'll keep an eye on you here for two more days. You all should hurry up!" After Liu Shanxia finished talking about the business, he stopped greeting them and started chasing them away.

With the help of black technology tools such as radio, the latest instructions were quickly conveyed to the executive agencies. However, in this time and space, there are too many factors that restrict efficiency, and it is difficult to implement the leaders' ideas immediately without any compromise. Therefore,

The chaos Liu Shanxia imagined did not occur. When receiving this task, Ma Dongqiang did not fully follow their radical ideas. Instead, he adopted a relatively peaceful approach, hiring craftsmen with large sums of money and purchasing various civil tools from the private sector. This was enough.

It was two days later than expected before the results began to show, and it was already five days after the first batch of craftsmen and tools from Shandong arrived in Lushun.

Sha Xi was naturally not satisfied with such efficiency, but Chen Yixin's father-in-law was responsible for handling the matter in Shandong, and he did his best. In just two or three days, he collected information from Fushan County and nearby prefectures and counties.

More than 200 craftsmen were hired, and all the labor was paid out of their own pockets. Under such circumstances, it is not easy to accuse others of incompetence.

The frontline headquarters was pressing hard, and Liu Shanxia was not in such good spirits to run back and forth between the two construction sites dozens of miles apart. After watching for two days, he could only go back to the north. After all, the bastion project was more important than resettling immigrants.

More urgently, if there is a flaw on the front line, it will be useless even if a hundred immigration villages are built here.

After more than ten days of confrontation north of the Jinzhou Isthmus, Azige and others in Jinzhou City finally realized that Haihan did not seem to intend to attack Jinzhou City, but intended to force the Jinzhou garrison to reach the isthmus.

Outside the distance of the defense line. In other words, the Haihan people may not intend to continue the war, but want to use this military operation to attract their attention to cover up certain activities that are going on in the Jinzhou Isthmus.

It is actually not difficult to find out the truth of the matter. Azig sent his elite spies out of the city at midnight for several days in a row, and walked towards the Jinzhou Isthmus in the dark to find out. Although Haihan deployed a lot of troops in this area,

Many troops also intercepted several waves of Houjin spies, but Azig's spies finally learned the secret hidden behind the Haihan military formation after paying the price of losing more than half of their men.

Azig didn't quite understand why Haihan wanted to carry out extensive construction work to rebuild the isthmus defense line. In his opinion, Haihan's army had guns and artillery. As long as his own side didn't send out heavy troops to attack, it wasn't too difficult to hold the line of defense. But since the opponent is here

The large-scale construction work in the area is probably not to dismantle the defense line, but to further strengthen it.

With Azig's knowledge, it is difficult for him to imagine out of thin air what methods Haihan will use to make that line of defense more difficult to conquer, but he knows that if he continues to sit back and ignore Haihan's methods, then the Golden State Isthmus will

It is very likely that the Haihan people will build an iron barrel formation that is truly easy to defend and difficult to attack. The only question is just how long it will take for Haihan to complete this project.

Azig is not a pessimist. Before the Haihan people appeared, he could even be regarded as a fanatical militant. It’s just that Hou Jin and Haihan never took advantage of each other, and today’s spring event

The series of battles made him a little confused. He lost thousands of troops without even understanding what was going on, as well as Yangu Li, who had fought alongside him for many years.

Since the death of Yangguli, Azig knew that the Haihan people would be a big trouble that Houjin would have to face in the next few years. This army was equipped with advanced equipment and had extremely strong combat effectiveness, even if Houjin had doubled the number of

Even with the advantage of military strength, it is still difficult to suppress the opponent on the battlefield. Until now, Azig has not come up with an effective tactic that can truly defeat the opponent, so he is very careful to restrain his troops from going out to fight at will, and just keeps sending small groups of troops.

Harass the opponent and delay their attack on Jinzhou City as much as possible.

But when he now discovered that his judgment was wrong, and that the opponent might not have the intention to attack Jinzhou City, but was secretly trying to cross Chencang, he had to take further action to stop Haihan's intention - no matter whether the opponent was

To strengthen the defense line or there is some other conspiracy, in short, we must try to stop it as soon as possible.

As a result, the fighting north of the Jinzhou Isthmus defense line finally began to become more frequent, and the scale also expanded significantly compared with before. Fights at the level of a hundred people gradually expanded to confrontations at the level of a thousand people. This change is naturally very important.

The Haihan military was quickly noticed, but in the end the reaction was still a beat slow. On a calm morning, about 3,000 Houjin cavalry suddenly came out from the due north and pounced directly on the enemy who had been attacked by the sea earlier.

The gap created by Han Dynasty's explosives.

Haihan did not try to directly repair this gap after occupying the defense line, because the original reconnaissance results of the headquarters showed that this gap was one of the weakest defense points on the entire defense line, and it had certain differences with the garrison strongholds on both sides.

The distance was so large that for a period of time after Haihan carried out the blast, the Jin Army failed to mobilize troops quickly to seize the gap. So after Liu Shanxia saw the scene, he decided to build a small fortress here as well.

In order to transform this weak link into a sharp thorn.

The reason why Azig chose this place as a breakthrough point for counterattack is also very simple. The Houjin Army currently does not have the ability to project large-scale maritime forces. It cannot learn Haihan's tactics of throwing troops behind the defense line if it wants to break through the isthmus.

The defense line can only be attacked in a simple and crude way. The gap that is still under construction is the only ready-made flaw in the entire defense line. If it is to be attacked, then of course the first choice is to attack this gap.

.

In view of the painful lessons learned when Yang Gu led his troops to attack here, Azig did not follow his example and go to the front of the formation to supervise the battle in person to avoid being shot in the dark by the Haihan people. Instead, he chose to launch the attack in the early morning, which is also common for ordinary people.

The time when the spirit is at its lowest is probably the period when the defense of the Haihan position is at its weakest. By launching the offensive at this time, Azig believed that he would be a little more certain of success.

However, despite this, Azig was still very careful to let the generals in charge pay attention to the enemy's defensive firepower at all times. If he noticed that the opponent was obviously prepared, he would not have to bite the bullet and attack him. In that case, he would just let his subordinates go.

It's just a life lost in vain.

This wave of sudden attacks launched by Hou Jin did catch the defenders off guard, but fortunately, even at dawn, the peripheral patrol cavalry still fired off fireworks warning flares in time, buying the defenders valuable time.

The highly nervous General of the Hou Jin Army mistakenly believed that Haihan's fireworks signal was some kind of signal to launch an ambush. Later, after approaching the Haihan position and encountering a round of gunfire, he decisively issued an order to give up the attack and evacuate the battlefield.

However, at this time, there was only one platoon of soldiers on the Haihan position who had just entered the fighting position. If the Houjin cavalry launched a desperate charge, these three thousand cavalry would be enough to overwhelm the poorly prepared Haihan position, and even hope to break through this line of defense and rush to the south.

Go and show off your skills. The hundreds of migrant workers responsible for building this small bastion are still resting in the camp behind the defense line, unaware that they have returned from a walk on the verge of death.

By the time Qian Tiandun got the news and rushed over with his men, Houjin's cavalry had already circled around the perimeter and quickly left the battlefield. Even with Qian Tiandun's combat experience, it was difficult to judge that the enemy was so feint.

He ran away with his gun, was he just trying to launch a feint attack, or did he have another agenda? It was impossible that Azig had nothing to do and sent thousands of troops to stage a flash mob for himself. Of course he didn't expect this time

The offensive that almost led to a catastrophe was not carried out because of the opponent's guilty conscience. Otherwise, he would have secretly cried out in his heart that he was lucky.

The offensive of the Hou Jin Army came and went in a hurry, and they withdrew after only hearing a sound. After Azig heard the report from the general who led the troops, he was a little unsure about the outcome. If Haihan

If you really set up an ambush at the defense line, waiting for you to step in, then the patience and planning are really terrible.

But based on the reports, Azig was basically certain of one thing. Haihan was indeed carrying out some kind of repair project with an unknown purpose at the gap. Azig guessed that he might be building a fort or fort or other defenses.

Although I didn't completely guess it, it was almost the same. The only good thing is that this cavalry managed to escape from the battlefield without encountering much resistance, and the number of casualties was probably relatively few in the recent battle with Haihan.
