The anti-Qing movement began with the looting of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Chapter 303 The Eight Banners Army

"They actually came after me! Do they really think I'm an easy target?" Jiang Shan (Jiang Xiaobai) said disdainfully, holding the intelligence forwarded by the General Staff.

"Chief of Staff, convene a meeting of officers at the group level and above tomorrow!" Although he appeared disdainful, Jiang Shan dared not be careless in doing his job.

If, due to my own actions, the supplies are destroyed and the army is defeated, not only will the emperor not forgive me, but I myself will not forgive myself.

"Good timing! I've been itching for a fight! Hahaha!" Zhao Mancang laughed loudly as soon as Jiang Shan finished recounting the intelligence.

He and Jiang Shan joined Shen Lian's forces together and were sent to the border region together. The two have never been separated over the years.

Several years later, Jiang Shan became a major general and division commander, while he also rose to the rank of senior colonel and brigade commander.

"That's right, that's right! Damn it. We originally thought we could only escort supplies this time and wouldn't get to fight! We didn't expect these rebels to deliver themselves to our doorstep! Hahaha." Another brigade commander, Gu Dalai, also said loudly.

The officers, including the older brother, looked delighted and eager to try.

"I'm glad everyone has this fighting spirit! But we still can't skimp on the necessary preparations. His Majesty once said that this is called 'strategically despising the enemy, but tactically taking them seriously.'"

"This rebel army numbers about 30,000, three times the size of our forces! I will not only defeat them, but annihilate this entire enemy force. I will claim the greatest credit for this campaign!" Jiang Shan slammed his fist on the table and declared domineeringly.

"The division commander is awesome! Let's show them what our First Division is all about this time! Hehe!" Zhao Mancang shouted loudly. The officers below also clamored for the complete annihilation of the enemy.

"Alright! Quiet down!" After everyone had vented, Jiang Shan tapped the table.

"Now announcing the operational plan..." the chief of staff said loudly, standing up and holding a folder.

"Manager Zhou, the division headquarters has ordered all personnel to return to their posts within three days!" Zhou Shunda received the order from the division headquarters more than 100 miles away.

Is war about to break out?

Article 1. Work permits are required for road closure operations. Construction, hoisting, and transport operations on main and secondary roads and access roads within the production area that result in insufficient effective road width and may affect normal traffic, especially the passage of fire trucks, ambulances, and other rescue vehicles, must be obtained through a road closure safety work permit. However, if the work occupies half of the road while the other half remains passable, and the effective width of the passable half is sufficient for the normal passage of fire trucks and other rescue vehicles, a road closure safety work permit is not required.

Before commencing the second road closure operation, a work safety analysis should be conducted. Based on the analysis results, relevant measures should be determined, and a traffic organization plan should be developed to ensure the passage of fire trucks and other important vehicles and meet emergency rescue requirements.

Article 3. Any work involving the closure of fire lanes must be carried out in stages to ensure the smooth passage of fire trucks. If the fire lane is obstructed, a report must be submitted to the superior competent department and the fire department.

Before commencing any road closure (road damage) work, a briefing should be given on any underground concealed works at the work site.

All exposed underground facilities should be identified promptly. If they cannot be identified, work should be stopped immediately, and the unit in charge of the work area should be notified. Work can only resume after appropriate safety protection measures have been taken.

Article 5 The unit where the work area is located shall assign a supervisor to inspect the excavation site, adjacent areas and protection system. If any abnormal or dangerous signs are found, the work shall be stopped immediately.
