Chapter 344: The Battle of Unification

Even though he had taken Luo'an County, and even the clean-up of Luo'an County in the past two days had been basically completed, Lin Ziran had never entered the city.

Instead, he has been handling official business in the Linjiang Manor in the suburbs, to be precise, military affairs.

He devoted a great deal of time to inspecting the troops.

Now he is very short of time, he needs to kill Zhao Song or Li Dingjun's family before the other feudal towns react, so as to avoid them forming a joint situation, and then have a north-south attack or something.

But now the troops under his command have just gone through several major battles, and after several major battles, they have not suffered any losses, and the consumption of guns and ammunition is not much, but they have accepted a large number of surrenders and captured a large number of weapons and ammunition.

But it is not so easy to reorganize the force that has suddenly swelled so many times.

Although the establishment of four divisions and three cavalry brigades was a readjustment of the command structure, in fact, all units were already set up in advance.

But even this has a lot of problems.

Lin Ziran seized the time to inspect all units to ensure that the command system of all units could be effectively established.

After a few days, the reorganization of the various units under his command was finally preliminarily completed, and at least the main generals and middle- and low-ranking officers of the various units were in place.

As for other issues such as the training of the troops, they can only be slowly integrated and dealt with later.

Anyway, the troops under his command are basically all veterans, and their basic tactical literacy is not bad, and what is lacking is only the problem of coordination.

After the initial rectification was completed, Lin Ziran held another meeting to adjust the defense of the troops.

It was initially decided to leave the 4th Division on the county side and the 2nd Mixed Brigade on the east bank of the Luo River to guard against Li Dingjun's enemy in the south.

According to the news from the south, Li Dingjun had already urgently dispatched troops, and at the same time, about 10,000 troops who were originally deployed in the southern defense line and loyal to Jian Minggang were also re-headed north under the leadership of Jian Liangzhi.

I heard that Jian Liangzhi urgently returned from Luohai City and then took over this army, and at the same time, I heard that he had reached a joint agreement with Li Dingjun.

Now, the troops on both sides have already put on a posture, and it is estimated that they are waiting for Lin Ziran to lead the troops south.

However, Lin Ziran didn't plan to go south now.

He planned to go north to kill Zhao Song first.

Li Dingjun and Jian Liangzhi joined forces, with 30,000 soldiers and horses on both sides, and they could also rely on the southern defense line.

And if you go north to fight Zhao Song first, then there will be many benefits.

On the one hand, Zhao Song in the north had just been killed by Jian Minggang before, and suffered heavy losses.

When the Jianminggang troops attacked Zhao Song's headquarters before, Zhao Song's resistance was extremely difficult, many troops were defeated, and the ammunition consumption was extremely great.

Now it seems that there are still a lot of troops, but they are already at the end of the crossbow.

Fighting Zhao Song has another advantage, that is, it can force Li Dingjun and them to take the initiative to go north!

They rely on the southern defense line, especially the Dingjiang fortress to carry out defensive operations, which naturally has a lot of benefits, but once they go north, then they will lose these defensive advantages, and they will be able to kill them more easily in the future.

If they don't go north, it doesn't matter, destroy Zhao Song first, do a good job of the northern defense line, block the Chongguangcheng defense line and the northwest defense line, and prevent Du Zhikuan and Hexi County in the northwest from interfering.

And he led the main force south and killed Li Dingjun in one fell swoop.

At the same time, during this period of time, the arsenal under his command was also able to modify and produce more rear-loading rifles and rear-loading artillery, and hoard more ammunition, laying a better firepower foundation for subsequent southward operations.

In the manor, which had been renamed Linjiang Mansion by Lin Ziran, Lin Ziran once again held a war meeting and determined the strategic plan of first north and then south.

In the overall plan, there will be a fourth division led by Lin Ziran's general, Liang Chenglei, to garrison the front line of the county town and build a defensive line.

At the same time, the 2nd Mixed Brigade on the east bank of Luo'an will be stationed on the east bank of Luo'an under the leadership of Wang Dao, and the Luo'an fleet will cooperate with the garrison to block the Luo River and connect the two banks.

After the reorganization, the 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment will also remain to garrison the county town to protect the defense line and cooperate with the fleet to blockade the Luo River.

The 3rd Cavalry Brigade was left to cooperate in the operation.

In order to coordinate the coordinated operations of the above-mentioned troops, Lin Ziran appointed Wang Dao as the commander of the southern defense line.

Lin Ziran will personally lead the main forces of the garrison regiment, the first division, the second division, the third division, the second heavy artillery regiment, the first cavalry brigade, and the second cavalry brigade to the north.

Before going north, Lin Ziran talked to Wang Dao and Liang Chenglei and other left-behind henchmen.

When talking to Wang Dao, Lin Ziran took the initiative to speak: "If I remember correctly, you have followed me for eight years!" ”

Wang Dao nodded: "More than eight years, the youngest was eighteen years old when he joined the command of adults!" ”

Lin Ziran continued: "In the past few years, several of our brothers have been hiding in Tibet, and it is difficult to even eat enough. ”

"It's also a coincidence that after settling down in Qingshan Town, this has slowly led to today's situation, it's not easy!"

Wang Dao also sighed a little: "It's not easy! ”

Lin Ziran said: "Today's good situation, no one must be allowed to destroy it, when you turn back to the county seat, you must keep your eyes open!" ”

Wang Dao nodded slightly, and said in a serious tone: "Don't worry, the little ones must have their eyes wide open!" ”

Lin Ziran laughed when he heard this: "Okay, among so many people, you can reassure me, this southern defense line will be handed over to you, I can rest assured!" ”

After talking to Wang Dao, Lin Ziran called Liang Chenglei again: "Cheng Lei, the work has been going well recently!" ”

Liang Chenglei said: "Back to the teacher's words, everything is going well, the student has already ordered to go down, build a number of fortress batteries and trench systems on the original city defense facilities, as long as three or five days, it is estimated that it can take shape!" ”

Lin Ziran said: "Okay, the gain or loss of the county town is related to the overall situation of my Luo'an reunification, the overall situation of the unification of the South China Sea, and even the future of my Daheng, I hope you can understand the importance of it!" ”

Liang Chenglei was also serious at this time: "The students understand that as long as they block Li Dingjun and them, they can free up their hands to clear Zhao Song's department, and then they can unify Luo An!" ”

Lin Ziran said: "I, Luo'an, have been trapped in the war for a long time, and I can't continue like this, I must end the situation of the melee in the domain as soon as possible, and give the people of Luo'an a bright future!" ”

"For example, if there are not many people living in fire and water today, we have the responsibility and obligation to rescue them!"

"Our burden is not light, and you are heavier!"

Liang Chenglei said: "Teacher, the students gave up their pens and joined the army, in order to unify Daheng, and they have long had the consciousness of sacrificing their lives for the unification of Daheng. ”

Lin Ziran said: "Okay, my Daheng boy, that's how it should be!" ”

Immediately, he called Luo Mazi in and commanded a few words: "The county town is staring at Lao Tzu with wide eyes, you don't care about the war, but if anyone dares to surrender, it must be solved as soon as possible!" ”

Luo Mazi smiled: "Don't worry, my lord, I am not good at wars, but these things are ...... Piece of cake ......"

After dealing with the defense of the county town, Lin Ziran soon led his troops north!

As soon as Lin Ziran's army moved, everyone knew that the unification war in Luo'an County had reached a critical period!
