Fifteen days have passed since he accepted the task of defending the city. After Liu Zhenming returned from Kamloops, in addition to training his soldiers, he also trained his soldiers.
Under external pressure and the ravages of Liu Zhenming, a sadist, the Chinese Self-Rescue Army has grown rapidly, and every miner has disappeared, turning into soldiers eager to fight.
Trenches and other fortifications continued to be built, but some new people were added, namely black miners.
Black people in this era are quite honest. This does not mean that they do not commit crimes, but it is reflected in their social nature.
Some knowledgeable black people themselves believe that because black people have lived under slavery for a long time, black people have neither cultural knowledge nor political consciousness, and their moral concepts are very weak. The quality of the black group itself makes them insufficient to live with white people in actual society.
Sitting on an equal footing.
In a word, black people are not a race. Their ancestors are just various indigenous tribes from Africa. They have no revolutionary qualities in them, and they only have to compromise themselves in exchange for widespread support from white sympathizers.
Black people have no intention of resisting. There are good people among white people. Fierce resistance will only lead to losses for both parties. This is what black people think.
Let these black people build trenches for themselves. Liu Zhenming only needs to give them some food and drink every day, does not embarrass them much, and rewards them with gold from time to time. They will be enthusiastic and have no dissatisfaction.
It was late at night and Liu Zhenming had not fallen asleep yet. Moreover, Ye Geyin and others were sitting opposite him.
Ji Li obediently poured a cup of coffee for everyone, and then slowly exited the room.
"Everyone, this is a map we captured from white people. It marks various towns in British Columbia. From the above, we can see that in addition to coastal ports, small towns in British Columbia are concentrated along railway lines.
The place it passes through, it can be said that the railway is the main artery of British Columbia." Liu Zhenming unfolded the map on the table and said calmly while pointing to various places on it.
He Xiaoqing heard the implication of Liu Zhenming's words and said softly: "What does the regiment leader mean by us harassing his railway?"
"Yes, it should be said that we are harassing a small section of it, which is the section through the Rocky Mountains. When this section of railway was being built, the blood of countless Chinese people was buried. As long as we destroy this section of railway, Canadians in the eastern and western provinces will
The contact will not be so smooth." Liu Zhenming took a sip of coffee calmly, and then said solemnly.
Because of the Rocky Mountains blocking the way, communication between central and eastern Canada and British Columbia is difficult.
The Canadian Pacific Rim Railway was built to solve this communication difficulty. If Liu Zhenming destroyed this section of the railway, it would not be so easy to mobilize troops in eastern Canada. Even if they repaired the railway, they would still need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources.
,Besides, how fast can we repair the damage?
Of course, this is just an eye-opener for the Canadian government. To forge iron, you need to be tough on yourself. Only when your own strength is enhanced can you develop better.
Ye Geyin hesitated and asked: "Brother Liu, do we have to drive away the white people from Kamloops first?"
Liu Zhenming smiled and said: "I was just about to discuss this matter with you. According to the news we heard, the white people have assembled a lot of troops from various places and are preparing to come to Kamloops to encircle and suppress us. Among them, the largest one
The branch is the British Marine Corps, with about a thousand people."
Liu Zhenming looked at everyone's faces one by one and saw that none of them showed fear. He couldn't help but nodded slightly and continued: "If we wait for the enemies to gather together, they will be very powerful. If we do the opposite,
By not waiting for the enemy troops to gather together, but taking the initiative to attack and adopt the strategy of defeating them individually, we can form a local strength advantage."...
Jin Xiaowu's eyes were bright and he said excitedly: "Could it be that the regiment commander wants to annihilate the British Marines before they arrive in Kamloops? It just so happens that we have wanted to stretch our muscles for a long time."
Liu Zhenming smiled and said: "Even if we do the activity, it won't be part of your artillery battalion. Xiao Wu, you'd better let the brothers in the artillery company practice more."
"It happens every time. Our artillerymen can't even drink soup." Jin Xiaowu looked at Liu Zhenming with a look of resentment.
"You can only blame your artillery for their slow action." Crazy Zhang said with a merciless curl of his lips. Then he looked at Liu Zhenming and asked, "Captain, aren't you going to go alone this time?"
"Do you really think I'm a god? That's a thousand British troops. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to do that." Liu Zhenming shook his head and looked at Madman Zhang speechlessly. Last time, there was news that Liu Zhenming broke into Kamloops alone.
After he opened the palace, all the soldiers regarded him as a god and a first-class figure.
In particular, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company heard news from everywhere that Liu Zhenming had done great things in Kamloops, even bombing the police station.
Upon hearing that Liu Zhenming was not going alone, Ye Geyin, Madman Zhang and others all started shouting, scrambling for a fight.
Liu Zhenming stopped him and said, "Okay, everyone, please don't argue. You must know that this is a long-distance attack. We have to bypass Kamloops and ambush on the railway section in front, so the selected soldiers must be able to ride horses.
Also, Xiaogeer, please don’t go. New China Village still needs you. If the news about our ambush leaks out, Drunni may lead Kamloops troops to raid our lair.
It's up to you to stop it until we come back."
There are still certain risks when Liu Zhenming leads troops to raid this time. The most important thing is that after his whereabouts are exposed, the enemy may take corresponding measures to attack his basic base.
However, wealth is in danger. If the British and Canadian soldiers are allowed to merge, it will put a lot of pressure on the Chinese Self-Rescue Army. Only before that, take advantage of the British's lax defense to kill them first, and then send troops to deal with Canlu.
The troops and horses in the Pus area can be divided and attacked in this way to reduce losses.
Moreover, Liu Zhenming has coveted the small town of Kamloops for a long time. This town was originally built specifically for trading with Canadian indigenous people. There are many indigenous tribes around. These indigenous people do not have the concept of Canadian country.
The Aboriginal population in the Kamloops area far exceeds the Caucasian population.
Liu Zhenming felt that he could join forces with these indigenous people and let them grow food for themselves. Moreover, some indigenous tribes also had deep conflicts with white people, so he could recruit some indigenous people to work for him.
The total number of white people in British Columbia is only about 170,000. Liu Zhenming believes that as long as he moves around, he can make some white people leave the area out of fear.
"Brother Liu, as a result, the number of people we can go to ambush has been greatly reduced. Can we deal with those British soldiers?" Ye Geyin asked with some worry.
After many raids and robberies, Huaxia Village now has about 700 military horses, but there are only about 500 soldiers who can mount the horses and walk around. Ye Geyin felt uneasy when 500 people went to ambush a thousand people.
Liu Zhenming smiled slightly, pointed at the map calmly and said: "Everyone, don't forget how the British army came. They all came by train. As long as we choose the location well enough, we can defeat one against a hundred."
.”
Liu Zhenming knew that along the way from Vancouver to Kamloops, the railway passed through many tunnels and bridges. If explosives were used when the train was about to pass through these places, the British would suffer great losses.
