Lin Ziran didn't guess wrong, the bigwigs on the front line of Chongguangcheng were indeed angry, especially the commander of the Third Division, Feng Haozhong, who was even more furious.

Feng Haozhong Zhongqing was not only the commander of the Third Division, but also the supreme commander of the Chongguangcheng front, with a maximum of more than 20,000 troops under his command.

This time, the war between Nayang-gun and Gwangan-gun began last autumn and has been fought until now, and fierce battles have broken out on many fronts, including Chongguangseong.

The battle line is deadlocked now, and in fact, it is time for both sides to start competing for comprehensive strength.

Whoever has more troops to replenish and who has more supplies will be able to gain an advantage in the battle and win the entire war.

But the other fronts are okay, but the supply of the Chongguangcheng front line that Feng Haozhong is responsible for has not been smooth.

One of the main reasons is that the distance is too far, and it could have been possible to transport materials directly north through the Luo River, but it is a pity that the surface troops of Luo'an County do not have an advantage, and the surface troops of Guang'an County also have good strength, and many ironclad shallow water gunboats almost control the upper half of the Luo River Basin.

Luo Anjun tried several times to use ships to transport supplies north, but all of them failed, and finally had to resort to more troublesome land transportation.

It's just that land transportation is also unsafe, Guang'an's cavalry attacked everywhere, repeatedly attacking the transport team, in the early days, their own troops were sufficient, and they could barely maintain logistics when they could use regular troops to escort.

However, the losses on the front line were too large, the war was tense, and when Feng Haozhong Zhongqing was forced to transfer the regular army that maintained the supply line in the rear to join the front-line operation, the task of escorting supplies could only be handed over to the second-line troops in the rear such as the Qingshan Patrol Battalion.

However, in the past month, it has become clear that the second-line troops in these places have not been able to take on the heavy responsibility of escorting the convoys.

Not only was the Aoyama Patrol Battalion escorted two consecutive raids, but in fact, there were many more places where the baggage teams escorted by the second-line troops were attacked.

The Qingshan Patrol Battalion is only one of the many local second-line troops escorting the baggage.

Feng Haozhong also knew very well that the biggest reason for the losses of the transport team was not that the second-line troops in Qingshan Town Patrol Battalion were unfavorable in battle, and it was normal for them to be unable to defeat Guang'an's cavalry with that strength.

In Feng Haozhong's opinion, Lin Ziran's patrol battalion is just a small patrol battalion, and in the face of an attack by a cavalry regiment in Guang'an, it is very good to be able to keep half of the supplies.

What made him angry was that his side had encircled and suppressed the Guang'an cavalry many times in a row, but they all returned in vain.

The Guang'an cavalry led by Fang Yuanxin has been operating in the rear of the Luo'an Army, and has caused heavy losses to the baggage troops of the Luo'an Army several times.

However, several encirclement and suppression attempts were unsuccessful.

This time, he was determined to encircle and suppress Fang Yuanxin's cavalry troops.

However, the battle in Chongguangcheng was fierce, and there were not many troops he could draw out to encircle and suppress Fang Yuanxin, so he was ready to send a number of local patrol battalions and guards to the north to participate in the encirclement and suppression.

So a piece of paper order was sent to Lin Ziran again!

Looking at the order in his hand, Lin Ziran felt a little surprised, it was not an accident that he was dispatched to participate in the battle, his patrol battalion stayed dozens of kilometers behind, whether it was to escort the baggage or to encircle and suppress the cavalry infiltrated by the enemy, it was reasonable.

What surprised him was that this order was signed by Jian Liangzhi, and this Jian Liangzhi's military lord had already become Shaoqing.

When did this Jian Liangzhi become Shaoqing?

The order is very clear that Jian Liangzhi has been promoted to Shaoqing because of his meritorious service in front-line operations, and will lead the main force of more than 3,000 people, including the Seventh Infantry Regiment, the Second Cavalry Regiment, and the Third Division Cavalry Regiment, to clear the Guang'an cavalry in the rear and other Guang'an troops attacking the logistics line of the Luo'an Army to ensure the smooth flow of the logistics line.

After learning that the order was sent from the front, Luo Mazi and Scar, as well as Wu Dajiang, Lu Sanzhen and several other main military officers in the patrol battalion arrived at Lin Ziran's side one after another.

Before the official start of the ceremony, everyone just chatted.

Scar said with envy: "This Jian Liangzhi has not finished a big battle, and he has already become a Shaoqing!" ”

Luo Mazi didn't care: "He is a child of the Qing family, and he can be promoted by doing anything." ”

The implication is that Jian Liangzhi has no real materials, and he completely relies on his identity background to climb up.

However, Lin Ziran, who was sitting at the top, disagreed with Luo Mazi's words, although he didn't know much about the battle on the front line, but he also learned from a few battle reports that Jian Liangzhi's performance in this battle was still quite prominent, and he took the seventh regiment to make achievements in several consecutive battles.

It's not impressive, but it's definitely remarkable.

Otherwise, even if you can cast a good tire, you can't be afraid of it without the corresponding strength.

This is a troubled time, everyone calls back and forth every day, and few people who can gain a foothold in the troubled times are simple characters, even if it is a wreck, it must be a valuable wreck.

After everyone discussed for a while, Lin Ziran just pressed his hand: "Everyone also knows, let us go north to help encircle and suppress the Guang'an rebels." ”

"This officer has already decided, three days later, he will lead the army north, and then the first company, the second company, the third company, the cavalry platoon and the artillery platoon will follow the officer to the north, and the rest of the troops will stay in Qingshan Town!"

The order has already been directly handed down from above, and it is not good to refuse directly, after all, Lin Ziran has not planned to completely turn his face with Luo Anjun now.

Moreover, the order given to him by the top was to assist in the encirclement and suppression, and the main task was to lead the troops north to defend a strategic point called Fenglan Town.

The direct pursuit was the Seventh Regiment and two cavalry regiments led by Jian Liangzhi himself.

Several other local troops, including the Castle Peak Patrol Battalion, were mainly stationed on the periphery to guard the main communication routes and prevent the Guang'an rebels from jumping over the wall and directly into the southern region.

There is a high probability that this kind of mission is not dangerous, because the number of Guang'an rebels attacking the logistics line in the rear is not large, and the main force is only a cavalry regiment, and it is almost impossible for them to penetrate into Luo'an County alone.

Once they penetrate into Luo'an County, then they will sink into the sea, and the Luo'an army has a lot of ways to surround them and then annihilate them.

Lin Ziran was sure that this task was not too dangerous, so he led the troops to the north so happily.

If it was said that Feng Haozhong transferred him to the front line of Chongguang City to be cannon fodder, or if he wanted to have a hard fight with the enemy's attacking troops, Lin Ziran would definitely shirk it in every possible way and would not be able to die.
