After listening to Liang Shijie's narration, Liu Mingju frowned and thought for a while, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked Lin Xu: "Mr. Lin, what do you think?"
"The Governor and General Liang are both battle-hardened generals, but I am just a country scholar. How can I dare to comment on such a major military matter?"
Lin Xu said modestly.
"Mr. Lin is not just a country scholar. He can even come up with such a far-sighted anti-Japanese plan, let alone this matter?"
Liu Mingju smiled slightly and said.
"What?! Mr. Lin has a plan to fight against the Japanese?!"
After hearing this, Liang Shijie stood up excitedly and said impatiently: "What is the anti-Japanese plan? Tell me quickly!"
"Shijie, sit down!"
Liu Mingju pressed his hand downward: "We can discuss this matter later! The most urgent task is to resolve the issue of Bailu Island first!"
"Yes, Governor!"
Liang Shijie had no choice but to suppress his strong curiosity and sit down.
"Sir, if you have any ideas, it doesn't matter!"
Liu Mingju once again asked Lin Xu to speak first. Obviously, he wanted to learn more about Lin Xu's military talents through this incident.
Liang Shijie also looked at Lin Xu with interest, wondering what was so special about this young man who was so valued by the Governor!
Although Lin Xu had no intention of showing off in front of these two battle-hardened generals, since Liu Minju repeatedly asked him to express his thoughts first, it would be too pretentious if he didn't say anything!
"Well, since the Governor insists on letting me speak first, I will boldly say it! If there is anything wrong, please forgive me!"
Lin Xu first laid a step for himself.
"We are talking behind closed doors now. We can say whatever we think without any scruples!"
Liu Ming raised his hand and said.
"My Lord Governor, General Liang, can I ask you two questions first?"
"If you want to ask anything, please tell me!"
"The first question is, if we attack Bailu Island, what are the main disadvantages?"
Lin Xu stretched out a finger and said.
"Main Disadvantage..."
Liang Shijie frowned, thought for a while and said: "First, the troops are insufficient. As far as we know, the opponent gathered a total of about 6,000 people this time. Although some were killed or injured, the current combat strength is at least 5,000, and
The number of troops we are prepared to invest is only 3,000, which is inferior to the opponent in total."
"Secondly, although the opponent is a ragtag group of pirates and Japanese pirates, their discipline is very poor! But some of them are Japanese ronin, and their individual combat capabilities are very strong. They can defeat many enemies with one enemy, and they can easily be broken through at a single point! Therefore,
At this point, we have no advantage!"
"Third, the beaches around Bailu Island are very muddy. It will take a lot of physical strength to set foot on them, which will also weaken the combat effectiveness of our soldiers to a certain extent!"
Lin Xu stretched out a second finger: "Then what are our advantages?"
This time, Liang Shijie did not hesitate at all, and said in a deep voice: "We have three thousand soldiers in the Tian March Army. Each one of them is a good man with strict discipline and regards death as home! Once the war starts, they will definitely kill the enemy with blood, and no one will retreat!"
"In addition, we have secret sentries on Bailu Island. They have already spread the news. Tonight, Cui Lin will have a banquet to celebrate the victory! By then, Bailu Island's defensive power will definitely be very weak. It is our attack that is great.
