Lin Ziran, who went south with the Second Division, the Fourth Division and other troops, soon received a battle report from the First Division on the right front.

After seeing the results of the battle, Lin Ziran directly instructed the adjutant: "From the recruit camp, 1,000 recruits who have completed training will be transferred to the first division nearby!" ”

"In addition, meritorious soldiers should be promoted, and meritorious soldiers should be rewarded, and meritorious soldiers should not be neglected!"

Wu Guanlin on the side said: "In this way, the surrender soldiers of the enemy's fourth division do not need to be transferred to the first division, pick one or two, and it is estimated that five or six thousand people can be selected to form a mixed brigade!" ”

Wu Guanlin said: "Among the nearly 20,000 soldiers in the enemy's Sixth and Seventh Divisions, qualified soldiers are also being selected, and the Sixth Division is being established in accordance with the instructions of the adults. ”

"If this is calculated, it will be a mixed brigade after a division, and once it becomes enough, it will be enough to greatly alleviate the current tension of our army!"

Lin Ziran said at this time: "The reorganization of the Sixth Division still needs to be strengthened, our time is tight, we can't let them come slowly, we must speed up, and the enemy's Fourth Division will surrender troops and select and reorganize it into the Fourth Mixed Brigade on the spot." ”

"For the follow-up work, I will instruct the Quanxuan Office, the Logistics Department and other departments, and your staff office will also come up with corresponding training and deployment plans!"

After Lin Ziran led the Luo'an garrison to the south, he had already defeated three enemy divisions, and they were all surrounded and defeated, and there were many surrenders or surrenders in the enemy army! ”

If it is calculated now, there are probably 30,000 former Luo naval soldiers captured or surrendered by various units, and even after subsequent selection, about 20,000 can be selected.

With 20,000 people, plus the weapons and equipment we have captured, it is enough for Lin Ziran to form a division and a mixed brigade!

However, although the new troops are important, it is even more important to maintain the existing main force southward!

I only heard Lin Ziran continue: "Not only the first division, but also the second division should use our own recruits as much as possible!" ”

"There is also the issue of weapons and equipment, and the fourth division must replace the captured rear-loading guns as soon as possible."

Wu Guanlin said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, the refitting work of the Fourth Division has been completed, and the troops are going south while letting the soldiers adapt, and in order to speed up the adaptation of the troops, we did not choose the South China Sea rifle, but chose the captured Fuyuan rear-loading gun, this Fuyuan rear-loading gun modification scheme is the same as our Qingshan 2-type rifle, in addition, the Fourth Division also has a batch of Fuyuan rear-loading guns before, which is very quick to adapt!" ”

In this southward operation, Lin Ziran's division defeated the enemy's 40,000 main forces, not only 30,000 prisoners, but also a large number of weapons, ammunition, war horses and other materials.

Only the two breech-loading rifles of the South China Sea Rifle and the Fuyuan Breech-loading rifle were captured, and the number was about half of them.

Among them, the Fuyuan breech-loading rifle can not only provide tens of thousands of pieces for emergency reloading of the Fourth Division, but also equip the Fourth Mixed Brigade.

The captured South China Sea rifles can also continue to be equipped with the new Sixth Division.

In addition, more than a dozen 100-mm front-loading rifled guns were also captured, although the performance of this thing is far inferior to that of rear-loading guns, but it is also rifled guns, and the effective range is much better than that of smoothbore guns.

Therefore, Lin Ziran also specially organized these front-loading rifled guns into a separate artillery battalion, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the headquarters like the experimental artillery regiment.

There are also quite a lot of war horses captured, and there are at least 2,000 good South China Sea war horses, and these good Nanzhou war horses will become important materials for Lin Ziran to expand his cavalry troops.

The number of this thing is relatively small, the horse farms of each Nanzhou horse are basically directly controlled by the officials of the feudal towns, and it is difficult to find them among the people, although Lin Ziran controlled Luo'an County, he also controlled the two official horse farms in Luo'an County, but there are still not many Nanzhou horses produced.

As for the seized Shayang horses, there are even more, but there is no shortage of Shayang horses Lin Ziran himself, the amount of Shayang horses owned by the people is too large, if Lin Ziran is willing, tens of thousands of Shayang horses can be collected in minutes.

But what's the use of so many Shayang horses, it can't be used as a service horse, and more importantly, it's too expensive to raise so many horses.

Of course, it is always good to have these horses captured, which can be used to replenish losses, and can be used as horses for new troops or as service horses, so that there is no need to spend money on horses.

The matter of reorganizing the Sixth Division and the Fourth Mixed Brigade is not urgent, and even if it is reorganized on the spot, it will take at least ten days and half a month, otherwise it will not even be possible to get the basic establishment.

After all, Lin Ziran only needs to surrender his troops, and he doesn't need officers, so he needs to send officers to rebuild the structure, and then supplement the new recruits of Toucheng, so that the reorganization can be successful.

During this time, Lin Ziran continued to take the 1st and 2nd Divisions, the 4th Division, the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Brigades, two heavy artillery regiments, as well as the Experimental Artillery Regiment, the Independent Artillery Battalion, the Garrison Regiment and other troops to the south.

And the speed of going south is simply overwhelming, extremely fast!

Because the three integrated divisions deployed on the northern front in Luohai County have nearly 40,000 troops, it is already over!

Even though there are still a small number of militia groups or local garrisons in the rear, they are simply unable to resist the Luo'an army that is moving south.

Not to mention them, the previous 40,000 troops have all been wiped out, how can the local garrison resist the southward movement of Luo'an's army!

In this regard, Shao Bing is anxious!

Even if the 25,000 troops on the northern front collapsed in one day, the 4th Division was also quickly defeated after encountering the enemy.

directly caused all of Shao Bing's plans to come to naught!

Without the Fourth Division to contain the Luo'an Army moving south, it would not be possible to buy time for the reinforcements in the rear.

In the end, there was no choice but to exchange space for time, and the about 20,000 reinforcements from the county town stopped taking the initiative to go north, but stopped at Menglin County in the middle of Luohai, and relied on the Qiu River, a tributary of the Luo River, to deploy a defensive line.

The reinforcements of the county town led by Shao Bing personally stayed on the front line of the Qiu River, and ordered the 35,000 troops on the east bank of Luo'an to urgently withdraw from Anlong County to speed up and turn with him as soon as possible.

Shao Bing's current strategic intention is obvious, that is, relying on the terrain advantage of Qiuhe and relying on the advantage of his Luo Hai fleet to deploy defenses, interrupt the southward movement of Luo An's army, and buy enough time.

As for saying this, it is equivalent to directly giving up half of the central and northern regions of Luohai County to Lin Ziran, which is also a matter of no way.

If you don't choose a favorable terrain to defend and wait for reinforcements from Anlong County to return, then it is estimated that you will not be able to wait for reinforcements and will be defeated.

Even so far, Shao Bing still can't understand how quickly his army was defeated, but this does not prevent him from having a deeper understanding of the combat effectiveness of Luo Anjun.

Now Shao Bing has to admit that before he finds a reliable way to deal with it, it is estimated that he will die very poorly if he directly plays a large-scale battle with Luo Anjun.

So he is ready to rely on the Qiu River and the fleet to defend!

As long as the opponent can't cross the Qiu River, then no matter how strong the opponent's combat power is, it is useless, and he can slowly find a way to deal with it in the future.

As for saying that the other party forcibly crossed the river, you are fake when you think of the Luohai fleet under his command!

It's not him Shao Bing's boasting, the combined firepower of all the artillery on the other side is not as strong as the firepower of a detachment under his command.

And such a detachment, there are five Luohai fleets!

The generals under his command also swore that with the help of the navy, the Qiuhe defense line, even if Lin Ziran had three heads and six arms, he couldn't tell the difference!
