Seeing Chongke City like a hedgehog in front of him, Lin Ziran did not turn his head, but continued to look at it and said: "It seems that this Feng Ziqi has been prepared for a long time, in the half month that we have been going north, he has already built a whole defense system around the entire city!" ”

Wu Guanlin on the side said: "Yes, according to intelligence, the other party has deployed at least 100,000 troops in the urban area and suburban areas, the number is unknown, but there must be more than 300 different artillery, among which the number of rear-loading artillery is unknown, but it must be more than 50." ”

"Because we got the news, Feng Ziqi has carried out a comprehensive reorganization of the core and main force of the Third Division under his command, following the establishment of our army and attached to a breech-loading rifled artillery regiment, this regiment is afraid that it has almost fifty breech-loading rifled guns."

After Feng Ziqi received a warning from the troops on the southern front half a month ago, he immediately reorganized the third division of the Zisheng Army under his command, and the change of equipment was actually secondary, and the more important thing was actually a comprehensive reform of the establishment and tactics, and the southern navy did not know much about this, and the intelligence only showed that Feng Ziqi had reorganized the third division and replaced it with a new rear-loading rifled gun, but he didn't know much about the establishment and tactics.

After all, this kind of internal reform will not be made public, and it is still difficult to collect this kind of information through some public channels.

However, this did not prevent the South China Navy from attaching importance to this third division.

"This third division of the Zisheng Army is Feng Ziqi's starting force many years ago, and it has always been the core and main force under his command, and it has performed well in many wars, and this time after the comprehensive replacement of rear-loading weapons, the threat to our army is still relatively large!"

"If nothing else, this Zishengzhou Third Division will be our biggest opponent in conquering the city!"

After Wu Guanlin gave a preliminary introduction to the situation of the enemy army, he talked about the enemy's defense: "According to the information we collected from the battlefield reconnaissance and other channels in the early stage, although the enemy's entire defense system is around Chongke City, in fact, the enemy's focus of defense is not in Chongke City, but in Zhongyan Mountain in the south of the city. ”

"Your Excellency, please see, this mountain is located in the southeast of the outskirts of Chongke City, and it is directly connected to the city, the terrain is relatively high, if we can take this mountain and deploy breech-loading rifled guns here, its artillery fire will be enough to cover the entire city."

"Obviously, the enemy army also knows the importance of this place, and has deployed heavy troops here in advance, we expect that there will be at least 30,000 enemy troops stationed on the entire defense line of Zhongyan Mountain, and if nothing else, they will also deploy a large number of rear-loading rifled guns on it!"

"This is the core strategic area of the entire Chongke City defense line, a place where attack and defense must be contested!"

Lin Ziran followed Wu Guanlin's prompt and looked at Zhongyan Mountain in the distance with a telescope.

From the visual point of view, this mountain is actually very low, just a series of small hills, some of which are estimated to be only about 100 meters above the ground......

But just like Wu Guanlin said, this broken mountain is just on the edge of Chongke City, and if you use the height of the terrain to deploy artillery on it, it is enough to cover a large area of the war zone.

What to do?

Lin Ziran directly turned his head and asked Kong Deyi: "Are you sure to knock out the artillery position on their hill?" ”

Kong Deyi, as the artillery director of the Southern Navy, naturally has the right to speak about this artillery matter, he did not answer immediately, but turned around and talked in a low voice with several professional artillery officers under him, and then he turned back and said: "We have a great grasp, in terms of artillery range, caliber and even quantity, we have an absolute advantage, unless the enemy forces hollow out the entire mountain as a fortress, otherwise, they will not be able to stop our heavy artillery bombardment at all!" ”

Lin Ziran said to Wu Guanlin at this time: "Okay, the problem of Zhongyanshan has been solved......

Hearing Lin Ziran and Kong Deyi's questions and answers, many people in the back felt weird, what is that, Zishengzhou has worked hard in Zhongyan Mountain, and deployed an extremely strong defense line, but as a result, you came to directly bombard with heavy artillery......

Isn't that bullying?

However, although it feels weird, it is kind of cool!

Our artillery is more numerous than the enemy's, the caliber is larger than the enemy's, and the attack is farther than the enemy's.

After a simple inspection of the battle line, Lin Ziran did not stay with the generals under his command, they were all very busy, busy making siege battle plans, and busy deploying troops.

And Lin Ziran himself, although he is on the front line, in fact, he does not interfere much in the formulation of the specific tactics of the troops, and that is all the business of the staff officers.

On the contrary, after Lin Ziran arrived on the outskirts of Chongke City, for two consecutive days, most of the time was spent in the area where the war had occurred.

On the first day, he met with three groups of representatives of the Zisheng Prefecture magnates, including old nobles, local officials, local businessmen, and heads of local government enterprises.

And these people are all from the Zishengzhou region under the current control of the Southern Navy.

Naturally, they need to come and see Lin Ziran!

Because the current Lin Ziran is already the new master above their heads.

Unless they are willing to give up power, but are they willing?

Unwillingly!

These people are all people who have decided to throw themselves to Lin Ziran's side after the Southern Navy killed them, and as for those who are unwilling to surrender, they have already fled north, and they will not stay where they are and wait for the Southern Navy to kill them.

For these people, Lin Ziran is still the same as in Dongding Prefecture in the past, and even when he was in control of Nanhai Prefecture, he mainly focused on appeasing and maintaining the status quo.

As long as they don't make trouble for themselves, then Lin Ziran won't embarrass them too much.

What's that, realistically speaking, Lin Ziran still needs them to maintain local administrative rule, Lin Ziran started with the army, and there are not many reserve administrative officials available under his hands, so it is inevitable to continue to use some local officials.

Of course, that doesn't mean laissez-faire!

This has a premise, that is, don't make trouble for Lin Ziran, as long as you don't cause trouble and honestly follow orders, Lin Ziran will generally not embarrass them, and will even give them a promotion.

But if you make trouble, you usually kill people directly!

The South Korean Navy has always maintained the habit of military high-pressure against the new occupation bureau!

In the management of the new occupation bureau, the Yugoslav Navy also has its own set of procedures.

After the military capture of the place, the South China Navy will generally send some ordinary administrative officials and tax officials to station, but in the early stage of government reform, there is generally no action in the early stage, mainly to maintain the status quo.

What were the first reforms?

It's a tax cut!

In other words, Lin Ziran has never seen a newly occupied area oppose tax cuts......
