After the fall of Tasmania, Long Yan's army was cut off from supplies by the French army.
Many important supplies have been cut off by the French army, especially food and grass.
After Li He became the temporary commander of the Long Yan Army, he began to solve the food problem of the Long Yan Army.
Finally, after careful consideration, the goal was determined.
This is the factory in front of us, a flour-producing factory on Tasmania.
Li He looked through the telescope and saw that there were not many French soldiers guarding the flour factory, only a few hundred.
"The commander has conducted an investigation and found that the French army has arranged a total of three hundred troops here, in the dark and in the open, equipped with muskets, no cavalry, and no artillery."
"With such a defensive force, we can definitely take down this flour mill."
Li He made an estimate in his mind and nodded, but he did not agree whether to take action.
There is no problem with such a flour mill operation.
However, in the face of such important strategic materials, the French army only arranged for 300 people to defend, which is very inconsistent with common sense.
Flour has many uses and can even increase the power of bombs.
Li He wondered if France was hiding in the dark and using this flour mill to attract them to attack.
Li He said in a deep voice: "Give me my order, don't act yet, be careful of fraud."
He used a telescope to look at the flour mill, but there were too many obstacles blocking his view and he couldn't clearly see what was going on inside. However, he couldn't continue spending time here, as this would increase the risk of exposing his position.
Li He said in a deep voice: "Use a musket to test the situation from the southeast. If there is no ambush, do it tonight, and the others will temporarily retreat first."
A team of Longyan troops was sent out and two shots were fired in the southeast direction of the flour mill.
Successfully attracted the attention of French soldiers at the flour mill.
But the French soldiers came out looking for him, but there were no traces.
In this way, the French soldiers, who had not found anyone, returned to the flour mill.
Other than that, nothing unusual happened.
After repeated confirmations, Li He issued an order to launch action.
That night, Li He led 200 people to launch an operation.
Li He led Long Yan's army into the flour mill and quietly killed the French soldiers.
The three hundred French soldiers inside the flour mill soon realized that someone was intruding.
Suddenly, gunfire broke out.
The entire flour mill fell into chaotic fighting.
However, this sneak attack by the Long Yan Army was very successful.
In fact, when the French army discovered that someone was invading, most of the guarding French troops had already been killed by the Longyan Army.
There was only a small group of people left who were not killed by the Long Yan Army.
Moreover, Long Yanjun was very familiar with the terrain of this flour mill and knew where the key positions of the flour mill needed to be quickly controlled.
In this battle, the French army had no power to parry.
This is all due to the terrain.
The battle didn't last long, and Long Yan's army completely occupied the flour mill.
But Li He was not too happy too early.
Their situation is still not optimistic.
The reason why he chose to occupy such a small flour mill was, firstly, because it was close to their base, and secondly, because it was a weak link in the defense of their base.
The terrain inside the flour mill is relatively complex and suitable for defense.
