After receiving the report from the Third Army, Lin Ziran on the one hand gave all the troops on the northern front, whether it was the Third Army on the northeast front, or other troops on the northern front of Zishengzhou and Quyang Prefecture, to let them stabilize the battle line, and even made it clear that they could give up some inconsequential places when necessary, and as long as the overall defense line was not lost, then it would be irrelevant to lose one or two areas.

However, the troops must be absolutely stable, and there must be no situation in which the troops collapse or even be encircled and annihilated by the enemy on a large scale.

In short, on the premise of preserving strength, we should stabilize the front as much as possible.

In addition, Lin Ziran also sent an order to the Fourth Army in the direction of Ningyu Prefecture, asking them to speed up and annihilate the main force of Ningyu Prefecture as soon as possible to lay the overall situation.

After the direction of Ningyu Prefecture is completed, according to the usual practice of the Daheng Unification Army, it will be able to reorganize and surrender troops on the spot, and at that time, it will be able to reorganize and reorganize 350,000 troops.

If there is another mix, at that time, at least one army can be transferred north to Zhongluozhou or other directions, so that the strength of the Daheng Unification Army on the northern front will be 50,000 or 60,000.

Of course, the extra 50,000 or 60,000 troops are actually not the key, the key is that after the end of the war in the direction of Ningyu Prefecture, the Daheng Unification Army will not have to spend a lot of ammunition and other military supplies in this direction.

Now for the Daheng Unification Army, ammunition and materials are the most important!

After all, with the combat mode of the Daheng unified army, although there are also requirements for troops, the more important thing is the density of firepower.

And with shells and bullets, there is a density of fire.

Moreover, when the Daheng unified army was fighting, it had always been bombarded indiscriminately, and the ammunition was consumed very quickly, and the consumption was fast and much, so it was more concerned about the ammunition replenishment.

Didn't you see that the generals of the front-line troops often quarrel with the generals of the logistics department!

Therefore, relatively speaking, the Daheng unified army attaches more importance to ammunition supply and firepower density.

However, this does not mean that the Daheng unified army will give up its superiority in strength.

In the early days, the Daheng unified army never paid attention to what was to fight more with less, and most of the time it fought with people, and it occupied the advantage of troops.

Although facing the seven northern states at the same time, and at the same time fighting in Ningyu Prefecture and Zhongluo Prefecture, this force is a bit insufficient, but through rail, river transportation and sea transportation, the strength of the Daheng unified army can still form a local military advantage through rapid mobilization.

This is very obvious in the direction of Dongdingzhou, Dongdingzhou Mihe line, it seems that there is only one third army, the total number of more than 50,000 people in the front, but in fact, there is a seventh army at the back can come forward to reinforce at any time.

Once there is a change in the front line, the Seventh Army can kill it at any time.

Moreover, some of the troops deployed in Zisheng Prefecture and Nanhai Prefecture in the rear can also be quickly reinforced by rail or inland rivers.

Therefore, don't think that the strength of the Daheng Unification Army in the direction of Dongdingzhou is weak, if necessary, it can increase the front-line strength to more than 100,000 in just a few days, and increase the number of troops to more than 150,000 in half a month!

Rapid mobilization by rail, river and sea transport will enable the Daheng Unified Army to maintain multiple fronts at the same time with a relatively small number of troops.

But even so, Lin Ziran also felt that the troops were not enough, and planned to expand another army, well, after Ningyuzhou was taken, he would be able to use the surrender of troops in the direction of Ningyuzhou as the basis, and after mixing with the troops of the Fourth Army, he would be able to expand another army.

Just like the previous expansion in the direction of Dongdingzhou, Zishengzhou, and Quyang Prefecture.

At present, the Daheng Unification Army only has 27 infantry divisions, 18 cavalry divisions, and 18 independent artillery regiments.

Moreover, the number of troops is basically full, with a total of more than 500,000, but these forces are still not much, after all, there are too many enemies to face at the same time.

So now the Daheng Unification Army has begun to use garrison divisions.

This is a relatively rare situation, the Daheng unified army rarely uses the garrison division, that is, the third garrison division was used during the Guang'an Campaign.

But now, it's a bit underwhelming.

Even if the current Daheng Unification Army is purely in terms of troops, it is definitely more than the combined strength of any two feudal towns in the north.

But it's not as much as the dozen or so feudal towns in the seven northern states combined!

In order to further alleviate the shortage of troops in the front-line troops, Lin Ziran has begun to use a large number of stocks and 18-millimeter rifles converted from captured Fuyuan rifles or similar smoothbore guns to equip garrison divisions.

Although such a garrison division does not have rear-loading rifled guns, or even front-loading rifled guns, it can barely be used if it has a rear-loading rifled rifle, plus a smoothbore gun.

It's better than nothing anyway!

The garrison divisions in some areas, especially the garrison divisions in Dongdingzhou, Zishengzhou, and Quyang Prefecture, have been equipped with rear-loading rifled guns modified from smoothbore guns, and equipped with smoothbore guns, which are used as second-line troops.

In addition, the first garrison division of Luo'an County and the second garrison division of Luohai City, because the army has been established for a long time, and there are not enough mobile troops in the direction of Nanhai Prefecture, so Lin Ziran is also gradually regularizing them to supplement the lack of troops in the hinterland of Nanhai Prefecture.

Lin Ziran was in the rear, trying to further strengthen the strength of the Daheng Unification Army through a variety of different means, and all of this needed the support of money!

As for taxes and the like, although the four states under the control of the Daheng Unification Army can contribute a lot of taxes, they still can't maintain the huge expenses of the Daheng Unification Army.

In order to raise military spending, the Marshal's Office once again issued unified bonds through the Nanhai Bank, and for this reason, Lin Ziran even held another dinner in Luohai City to personally go into battle to promote unified bonds.

Even in order to better stimulate people's enthusiasm for purchasing, the military has also launched a series of propaganda measures, including writing various propaganda dramas, and even directly sending war heroes and other speeches to make appearances, in order to stimulate people's patriotic enthusiasm and stimulate their desire and yearning for reunification.

This time, the bond issuance is not limited to Nanhai Prefecture, but also in Dongdingzhou, Zisheng Prefecture and Quyang Prefecture.

At the same time, in order to further stimulate people's desire to buy unified bonds, the interest rate of unified bonds this time is also relatively high.

Originally, Lin Ziran planned to send people abroad to promote bonds and seek financial support, but he took the initiative to give up this idea within a few days.

Why?

Because people all over the world have no good impression of Daheng people, almost no country wants to see the unification of Daheng!

If it weren't for the relatively weak strength of several neighboring countries, and the cost and difficulty of launching cross-sea operations by countries on other continents, the neighboring countries would have sent hundreds of thousands of troops to intervene long ago.

As for sending tens of thousands of troops over, what's that, don't mean it, any town in the Great Heng Domain can wipe you out!

Therefore, if there is enough strength to intervene, other countries are eager to intervene in Daheng's civil war in person.

Not to mention lending money to Lin Ziran and letting him unify Daheng, maybe there will already be other countries lending money to the northern feudal towns to help resist Lin Ziran.

As for why other countries don't have a good impression of Daheng?

If you look at the thousand-year history of the Daheng people, you will know that for more than a thousand years, except for the period of civil war, the Daheng people have either fought with foreign races or prepared to fight with foreign peoples in other time periods......

It's just insane......
