Lao Xu's arrangement is undoubtedly quite risky. The defense construction of the station is related to the foundation of the station. It was really a big deal for Lao Xu to entrust such an important matter to Ye Hao and the others.
But Lao Xu had his own ideas.
It is true that stationing in the local area is important for construction, but since the other party has already complained so much, if he finds some trivial things and entrusts them to do it, it will inevitably increase the conflict.
This is obviously not conducive to internal unity within the station.
After all, given the current situation, Ye Hao and the others cannot be judged as having ulterior motives.
In this case, we should make the most of each other.
Otherwise, in the battle that may follow, the station will definitely suffer in terms of numbers.
In addition, leaving the garrison construction to Ye Hao seems dangerous, but in fact it is not a big problem.
If Ye Hao and the others were really causing trouble, how could they not tell it based on Old Xu's status as a soldier?
No matter how rich Ye Haocheng was, he was definitely not as good as Lao Xu in terms of military literacy.
And through this incident, Lao Xu had the opportunity to observe Ye Hao and the others.
This is better than having Ye Hao and others make trouble when the war comes.
On the contrary, if this matter is done well, it can capture Ye Hao's group to the greatest extent and make them an indispensable and available combat force.
After listening to Lao Xu's instructions, the dissatisfied men who were still complaining just now changed their attitudes and promised to obey Lao Xu's arrangements.
"Okay, that's basically it. Is there anything else you want to add? You can tell me now."
In just a few minutes, Lao Xu had considered almost all the relevant matters. Now everyone was staring at him and couldn't think of anything else to add.
So the discussion, which didn't last long, ended in a hurry.
after the end. Lao Zhao immediately greeted everyone: "Everyone will simply rest for 20 minutes and gather at the construction site in 20 minutes. From now on, we must seize the time to build the wall!"
Whether the wall is perfect or not will directly determine the success or failure of the next battle.
If the wall can be completed before the opponent attacks. It will not only hinder the enemy's attack, but also greatly reduce the manpower investment of the station personnel in the defensive position.
After 20 minutes, everyone went to the construction site voluntarily without Lao Zhao's additional reminder.
The survival of the station is related to the life and death of every survivor, so everyone is working together as a team at this time.
Especially the people stationed there, one must know that their physical strength and energy have been greatly exhausted in the past week, but at this time, no one is complaining about being tired. Without exception, everyone immediately devoted themselves to the construction of the city wall.
While everyone was surrounding the wall, Lao Xu climbed to the roof of the house alone.
Standing on the top of the house, he peered around with binoculars.
After observing like this for more than ten minutes, Lao Xu gave up and jumped off the roof.
After that, he walked to the entrance of the village and met up with Shen Lian and others who were on duty there.
Seeing Lao Xu coming, Hua Biao hurriedly approached and asked, "How are you, company commander, we just had a meeting. Did Ye Hao reveal any flaws?"
"No!" Old Xu shook his head, his expression calm.
Frankly speaking, judging from Ye Hao's performance in the discussion in the room just now, he is no match for Pika's group.
However, Ye Hao's attitude is worthy of further investigation. Because he quite clearly refused to cooperate with the other party.
The reason is very simple, it is the so-called unknown identity of the other party, and the argument is his energy in the capital.
But the events in the capital were all the tricks he used to defraud materials. Lao Xu had no way of distinguishing between true and false.
But Ye Hao's refusal was actually encouraging his own side to go to war with the other side.
This is an obvious thing, as long as one side rejects the other side. With the ruthlessness and arrogance shown by the other party today, the probability of conflict is extremely high.
So this had to make Lao Xu suspicious. Ye Hao had other plans.
After answering the question about Huabiao, Lao Xu gave an order to his brothers in the sharp knife company: "Leizi, Huabiao, you two go out and check for me to see if there are any "eyes" around our station. If there are any, find them for me."
The enemy arrived at just the right time, and Lao Xu had to suspect that the station was being watched.
This kind of situation where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear makes Lao Xu, as a scout, very uncomfortable, so he must give full play to his own strengths and turn against the enemy to reverse the current passive situation.
After receiving the order from Lei Tong, Hua Biao took action immediately. After sorting out the necessary equipment, he rushed out of the village and quickly disappeared into the thick grass.
After finishing the current assignment, Lao Xu subconsciously looked at the hills in the distance.
It was a small local hill, with an altitude of less than 300 meters according to Lao Xu's visual inspection. Due to the lack of human intervention on the mountain in the last days, the mountains were covered with huge trees as far as the eye could see.
"Company commander, what are you looking at?" Shen Lian asked curiously when he saw Old Xu's stunned look.
Lao Xu shook his head and came back to his senses: "Oh, it's nothing, let's think about something more. Oh, by the way, you give Xiao Duan a call and ask him to come over here to assist you. During this period, we are responsible for the guard work, and the other brothers have to Rush to build the wall.”
"Okay, no problem. That..." After hesitating for a while, Shen Lian finally expressed the question in his heart: "In the meeting just now, did Lao Zhao mention joining the revival meeting?"
"Yes!" Lao Xu nodded and replied.
"What's the result? Do you want to join or..."
"Refuse!" Lao Xu answered decisively.
Hearing this, Shen Lian let out a relieved breath: "Just refuse, I was there at the time, those guys are not good guys, joining them may not be a good thing."
"Well, so during this period, we need to strengthen our defense inspections. After those people learn about the rejection, they will probably take drastic measures to force us into submission. We have to guard against it!"
"Yes! I'm afraid this conflict is unavoidable. But it's okay, we are not fooled. If they come, let them have a try. Haha, company commander, to tell you the truth, I haven't fired for a long time. , my hands are really itchy."
Half-jokingly, he patted "guy" on the waist, and Lao Xu smiled and patted Shen Lian on the shoulder.
Soldiers like them who kill on the battlefield have long been accustomed to the smell of gunpowder smoke.
Due to the current situation, we cannot use firearms arbitrarily, but that habitual "desire" still makes the Sharp Sword Company miss the past years.
So if the bandits dare to attack with arms, what awaits them will be batches of hungry wolves.
During dinner, Lao Xu specifically told Wei Yang not to make too much of a fuss.
Although he also knew that the brothers were exhausted due to the previous tasks, he didn't know when the war would start.
At that time, it is obviously unrealistic to think about going out to raise supplies, so save as much as you can now to deal with the upcoming war. (To be continued.)
