On April 19, the 52nd year of Yongchang, Luohai City, drizzle.

In view of the chaotic and cumbersome problems of the existing system, Lin Ziran adjusted the subordinate institutions.

First of all, all the departments under the Nanhai Prefecture Prefecture have been adjusted and reformed into various ministries, including the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Education, etc., and in this process, the business scope of each institution has been adjusted to make it more perfect.

At the same time, certain adjustments have been made to the military structure.

The former South China Navy Command was renamed the Nanhai Prefecture Army Command, and the subordinate General Staff, Logistics Department, and Ordnance Department were changed to Army General Staff, Army Logistics Department, and Army Ordnance Department; The former Quan Xuan Division, General Affairs Division, Payroll Division and other institutions were merged to form the Military Affairs Department of the Army; The Army Artillery Chief's and Army's Cavalry Chiefs will be retained.

The former Nanhai Prefecture Fleet Command was renamed the Nanhai Prefecture Navy Command, and various subordinate naval agencies were also adjusted accordingly.

Of course, this kind of institutional change is not big, even if multiple institutions have been adjusted and merged, but what should be done is still what to do.

Therefore, it didn't take long for Wu Guanlin, the trusted chief of the army staff, to submit the next stage of the battle plan.

The core of the entire battle plan is very simple, that is, to break through the enemy forces on the fourth line one by one.

And the first step is to carry out a counterattack operation against the enemy forces in Quyang Prefecture on the northern front!

According to the operational plan drawn up by the General Staff, at least 60,000 troops will be dispatched to the north by boat, and the action will be swift, and the troops will be ready to go into battle as soon as they arrive in Guang'an.

After this batch of reinforcements arrives in Guang'an, the strength of the South China Navy on the front line of Guang'an will reach 100,000 men, complete with infantry, cavalry, and artillery, plus a fleet to assist in operations. At that time, it is necessary to immediately launch a large-scale counteroffensive on the whole front, strive to defeat the place in front of us in a short time, completely defeat the more than 100,000 troops in Quyang Prefecture, and then recover the Luohe Gorge.

After recovering the Luohe Gorge, except for some of the troops who were going to stay behind to restrangle the Luohe Gorge, the other main forces would quickly return south by boat, and then rush to the west of Luohai County, with the cooperation of the Sixth Division, to defeat the troops of Ningyuzhou, capture Qingyuan County, and solve the threat faced by Luohai County.

When the fight is here, then it can basically be declared that the siege has been torn apart on all sides.

The dangers of the remaining Eastern Front, as well as the Western Front, are not to be worried!

The broken place on the northwest line is not important, as long as the Guang'an line wins, it is estimated that the people of Zhongluozhou will run first.

Besides, if they take the initiative to launch a counteroffensive by land and stretch their supply lines, it is better to wait for them to come over first and then fight, as long as they dare to go further south, the South China Navy does not mind fighting another counterattack operation.

As for the Eastern Front, with the solidity of the defense line on the Hetai Heights and the firepower superiority of the Southern Navy, Yuan Yonghan would be expected to be beaten unless he took out all his belongings.

And can Yuan Yonghan take out all his belongings to fight?

Impossible, Yuan Yonghan's enemies are not only Lin Ziran, but also the two major feudal towns in Dongding Prefecture.

Dongdingzhou is not only his Yuan Yonghan's, there are also two other major feudal towns, although the other two feudal towns are weaker, but they are not bad, and the combined strength is not less than Yuan Yonghan's.

Before this, Lin Ziran had already connected the two major feudal towns in Dongding Prefecture by sea.

What do you do when you get in touch?

Send guns and guns!

That's how Nanzhou Bank restrained Yuan Yonghan back then, and now Lin Ziran is doing the same!

Lin Ziran sent a large number of old smoothbore guns that were not used for retirement to the two major feudal towns for free, including more than 50,000 second-hand smoothbore guns alone, a total of more than 500 smoothbore guns, and a large amount of ammunition by the way.

If Yuan Yonghan dares to use all his troops to fight the Hetai Heights, it is estimated that the other two major feudal towns in Dongdingzhou will wake up laughing from their dreams, and then send troops to stab Yuan Yonghan's ass!

In this case, the Hetai defense line is actually relatively stable!

On the Western Front, however, it was more troublesome.

Qingyuan County on the western front is naturally not to worry, this is just a puppet of Ningyu Prefecture, the real enemy is Ningyu Prefecture, and although Ningyu Prefecture is a little poorer and weaker, this Ningyu Prefecture is a state that maintains a generally unified situation.

Bai Guangyi, the current governor of Ningyu Prefecture, is a figure of the same generation as Duke Meng back then, although he is already old and not very in charge, Ningyu Prefecture is also fighting for the candidates for the follow-up state order.

However, even so, Ningyu Prefecture is maintaining a unified situation.

This can be said to be relatively rare in several surrounding states.

Daheng has several states in the south, Nanhai Prefecture is not to mention messy, and Dongding Prefecture also has Yuan Yonghan, the governor of Dongdingzhou, and the garrison of Dongdingzhou.

Quyang Prefecture is unified on the surface, but the state order is an empty shelf, and the real power is in the hands of the commanders of the three major army corps.

Zhongluo Prefecture is the same as Nanhai Prefecture, there is not even a state order, only two patrol envoys are fighting.

Only this Ningyu Prefecture maintains de facto unity.

Although Ningyu Prefecture has the weakest economy and population, in fact, Ningyu Prefecture poses the greatest threat to the Southern Navy.

If you let it go and let them run to Luohai County, or even kill Luohai City, it will create a very passive situation.

Therefore, Lin Ziran will not let this happen.

Kill the northern front first and hold the eastern front, which is the time to concentrate forces to beat Ning Yuzhou's troops back.

When Ningyu Prefecture is beaten back, then Nanhai Prefecture can truly usher in reunification, and only then can it gain valuable rest time.

After the battle plan was determined, Lin Ziran did not hesitate and quickly approved the battle plan.

On April 23, Nanhai Prefecture had a rare sunny day, and on this day, a large number of ships began to set sail from various ports, braving smoke and sailing up the river.

The troops reinforced by the north included four infantry divisions, the second, fifth, ninth, and tenth divisions, the first cavalry division, and two heavy artillery regiments, with a total strength of more than 60,000 troops.

These more than 60,000 people, including their equipment, a large number of horses, and countless ammunition, were all loaded and transported north.

In order to transport these personnel and equipment, the Logistics Department has looted almost all the inland river steam boats and river barges that can be seen, and even ventured to use some sea vessels that do not normally enter the inland river for transportation.

At the same time, Lin Ziran once again gave an order to the troops of the Hetai defense line and the western defense line, asking them to strictly defend the defense line, so that the eastern or western front could collapse before the northern front was won.

In order to better coordinate the war on all fronts, Lin Ziran officially ordered the establishment of a military-level command organization.

The size of the Yugoslav Navy has now reached more than 200,000, and at the same time, it is currently in a state of war on all sides, and the General Staff has long been unable to directly command various units by remote control.

In the previous battles on the four fronts, the corps commander, the commander of the defense line, and other temporary commanders commanded the troops.

For example, in the current battle on the Northern Front, Xu Zhongshu, the commander of the First Division, was actually commanding in the name of the commander of Guang'an City Defense.

The same was true for several other fronts, and the battle on the eastern front was Song You, commander of the 1st Cavalry Division and commander of the Provisional Cavalry Corps, who commanded in the name of the commander of the Hetai defensive line.

The Western Front is naturally the commander of the Sixth Division.

On the northwest front, Zhou Yuanjie, commander of the Sixth Cavalry Division, commanded in the name of the cavalry director.

However, all of the above is informal, and sometimes it is difficult to figure out the division of responsibilities, so it is very necessary to formally determine the command structure at a higher level than the division and brigade, and to clarify the command command.

But the question is, who will be the commander of these newly established armies?
