In fact, General Newland was feeling aggrieved. He only wanted to keep his three infantry divisions. After all, there was a new type of officer in the Far East Military Region. The original rank was still there, but your army was wiped out by the 72nd Army.

These people stay around the headquarters, either giving you a job or a section chief. In short, they are all commanders without troops. General Newland does not want to become such a person, so this guy wants to withdraw the troops first.

Perhaps he acted too well, or perhaps everyone present really believed him, so all eyes were focused on him at this moment. Retreating to Chita should be no problem, but how to fight after the retreat? It seemed that this important task had been entrusted to him, so this guy felt very bitter.

"Your Excellency, Commander, colleagues, if we want to hold Chita, I believe there is another person who is crucial, and that is General Golandov, the current general defending Chita. I still have a lot to learn from him, so I cannot give you a complete answer at this meeting. Discussing strategy without actual figures is extremely irresponsible."

When General Newland turned around, everyone thought this guy had a plan, but they didn't expect him to say this.

However, everyone's faces were filled with relief. It was indeed not easy to find such a practical person in the Rakshasa army. Most of them just shouted slogans and talked nonsense. Those people were defeated by Li Shaoyi. General Newland's performance was different from theirs.

Under the commander's praise, others even started to applaud. However, those who were familiar with General Newland knew that this guy had no brains at all. The reason he said this must be because he had nothing in his head and wanted to delay it as long as possible.

If Chita is handed over to such people, the city is basically lost. The most fatal thing is that the Trans-Siberian Railway will most likely be affected. This is the lifeline of the Far East.

The headquarters gave General Newland three days to discuss the matter with the garrison general in the Chita area, and even sent a military aircraft to transport it over. Another meeting would be held three days later.

Although it was only three days, it was like a new life for General Newland. The aggressive feeling just now had made him breathless, but now he could have three more days of happiness.

As for the defense of Chita, he has already thought about it. When the time comes, he will ask the higher-ups for a large amount of weapons and ammunition, as well as various types of troops. If you give them to him, it will take time to mobilize them. If you don't give them to him, it will have nothing to do with him if the city is lost.

72nd Army Front Command

Li Shaoyi and Zhang Jiahua also followed at this moment. They couldn't just let their brothers fight in the front line, they also had to go to the front-line troops. When Li Shaoyi walked into the Luosha military camp, he didn't feel the danger here, but felt a weirdness instead.

"It's strange. Last night, our scouts saw it clearly. They even made a fire and cooked. We didn't let our guard down despite all the noises. But nighttime isn't our strong suit, so we thought we'd fight during the day. But when we got here in the morning, not even the soldiers were there. Only this shabby barracks remained."

Yao Dazhu was like a child who had made a mistake. His army was already prepared and would launch an attack immediately after daybreak. The vanguard troops started at five o'clock in the morning. They thought they would encounter fierce resistance outside, but who knew that there was not even a single person who opened fire.

When they rushed into the military camp, they found that all the Rakshasas had run away.

"Judging from the traces at the scene, these people must have left in a hurry. They didn't have time to pack up many things, and their retreat was also very chaotic. They probably didn't get far. Should we chase them?"

Zhang Jiahua squatted down and looked at the footprints and tire tracks. There were also messy things in the tent next to him. If it was a retreat planned in advance, such a situation would never happen. This was clearly an order issued at the last minute.

"Don't rush into Rakshasa territory until the situation is fully understood. Furthermore, after destroying these infantry regiments, the Rakshasa will undoubtedly have new deployments. Notify the intelligence department to continue their investigation. Our troops will establish a defensive line on the spot. Additionally, within the occupied area, all towns and cities will immediately begin cleansing operations."

Most of the Far East region of Russia is very desolate, but there are many small towns near the border. The people also look for places with better conditions to live. The natural environment near the Xiongnu border is still acceptable, so there are several towns within a few dozen kilometers.

Yao Dazhu and Guo Feng separated immediately. Guo Feng was responsible for establishing a defense line, while Yao Dazhu cleaned up the six nearby towns.

The first content of the purge was naturally to find the rebels. Whether they were defeated Russian soldiers or intelligence personnel developed by them, they were the first targets to be arrested.

Some of the information leaked last time has been investigated clearly. It was the local Luosha people who leaked it, so this time we must learn a lesson and gather all the people in the occupied area. We must never make the same mistake again.

The second step is naturally to collect all the factories and valuables within the occupied area. As for these Russian civilians, in view of what the Russians had done to our border residents before, they will be uniformly organized into laborers.

If you say it's unfair, it has nothing to do with us. It's purely your own fault. At least we didn't push you into the river. Back then, there were only a few people who survived in our sixty-four villages in Jiangdong. Compared with the Rakshasa army at that time, we were already very merciful.

After Li Shaoyi's order was issued, the troops began to patrol the border areas quickly, trying not to miss any village or town. According to Li Shaoyi, the people who died unjustly back then should be able to rest in peace after seeing this scene. Everything we did was not to invade this country, but to avenge our dead compatriots.

A town on the Rakshasa border

"Hurry, hurry, old woman, don't sleep any more, get up quickly. I heard from a friend that our army has been defeated. In two or three hours at most, the Chinese army will rush over. Quickly pack up the little money we have at home and go to the cabin on the mountain..."

A Rakshasa herdsman in his fifties came in hurriedly from outside...
