Lin Ziran quickly ended the meeting and asked them to go and prepare quickly, the time was pressing, and preparations must be made from now on to establish the defense line of Nanguang City, and at the same time, the mountainous area north of Qingshan Town should also send troops to monitor and garrison.

And he himself found Jiang Xiaqing.

"Our strength is insufficient, there is no difference between going to Chongguang City with such a small number of troops and looking for death, but we will go north to garrison Nanguang City, and I hope that your department can bring the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment to Nanguang City, so that we can have enough heavy artillery firepower to block Luojiang and hold Nanguang City!"

Lin Ziran didn't talk too much nonsense, it was directly at this time, and the purpose of saying this was naturally for the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment.

After hearing Lin Ziran's answer, Jiang Xiaqing frowned slightly, this was not in line with their plan, or rather, at least this was not the plan they were inclined to.

But he did not continue to persuade Lin Ziran.

This is obviously a decision made by Lin Ziran after discussing with his subordinates, and it is not something that can be persuaded in a word or two.

Everyone has their own interests, and it is not surprising that Lin Ziran did not go to Chongguang City but to Nanguang City for his own interests.

So it's useless to say more.

Jiang Xia Qingdao: "Since Brigade Commander Lin insisted on not going to Chongguang City, but chose to garrison Nanguang City, Jiang Mou didn't say much, as for the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, it can be deployed to Chongguang City, but the follow-up transportation and escort need to be done by Brigade Commander Lin yourself, we have limited troops and time is tight!" ”

After saying this, Jiang Xiaqing just said goodbye and rode directly to Sanyang Town, and then took a steamer up the river to return to Chongguang City.

After bidding farewell to Jiang Xiaqing, Lin Ziran was also busy!

They don't have much time, the Third Division of the People's Republic of China can give up Chongguang City and go south to fight for power and profit, and he Lin Ziran can't give up Sanyang Town and Qingshan Town, or he can't give up Qingshan Petroleum Company.

This was his only source of income for the expansion of his army.

You can't give up no matter what.

That night, all the troops in the barracks in the oil field area began to make emergency preparations, and at the same time, Lin Ziran also sent heralds to other towns, preparing to transfer a large part of the local guards of the other five towns to fight.

As for the defense of each town, at most a small number of soldiers will be left, and local young people will be urgently recruited on the spot to make do with it.

At that time, Lin Ziran used the name of the town militia to raise the army, not to engage in district militia groups, but just to let the towns help him raise the army, and once needed, he was directly pulled out to fight.

There are five companies in five towns, and the internal numbers are the first to the fifth garrison companies.

Not only the militia regiments sent to various towns, but even he plans to transfer the third infantry battalion that is still in training, although these recruits have only been trained for less than a month, it is good to make up a number of people to scare and scare people.

As for the internal defense of the oil field area, Lin Ziran only left an infantry company, and there were also some recruits who had just been recruited in recent days and who were recruited later.

Anyway, the oil field area belongs to the internal depth, and there are no strong regular troops or bandit gangs around, so it is impossible to use too many main forces left.

What's more, if Nanguangcheng is conquered by the Guang'an army, if the Guang'an army wants to go south in the future, Lin Ziran will be unable to defend it, and the oil field area will definitely not be able to defend it.

Because of the tense situation, in just one night, the troops were ready one after another, and early the next morning, the 1st Cavalry Company was the first to set off for Sanyo Town as the forward force.

Lin Ziran personally led other troops to follow.

After they arrived at Sanyang Town, they would continue to travel about 20 kilometers north to Nanguang City.

In the improvised plan, Lin Ziran will personally lead the main force in Xisanyang Town and stationed in Nanguang City, and the troops under his jurisdiction include the first cavalry company, the second cavalry company (one platoon), the first infantry battalion, the second infantry battalion, the third infantry battalion (pure recruit troops), the first artillery company (one artillery platoon), the second artillery company, the third artillery company, the first baggage company, the second baggage company (one platoon), and the personal guards.

The total strength is more than 3,100 people, but more than 600 of them are recruits who have not even completed a month's physical training, and their combat strength is worrying.

In addition, in the mountainous area north of Qingshan Town, a part of the troops will also be stationed, mainly to monitor and guard against the possible small-scale infiltration of the Guang'an Army, and the strength of the troops is mainly based on the three garrison companies that were previously stationed in Qingshan Town, Xinmu Town, and Lishan Town, and at the same time there are more than 50 cavalry platoons drawn from the Second Cavalry Company, two five-pound guns in an artillery platoon drawn from the First Artillery Company, and a baggage platoon drawn from the Second Baggage Company.

The above-mentioned troops were temporarily integrated into a temporary battalion by Lin Ziran, with a total strength of about 450 people.

Judging from the terrain in the north of Lianguan County, it is mainly to block Nanguangcheng, and then block a rugged mountain road in the north of Qingshan Town.

The greatest possibility is estimated to be to go south from the west bank of Lianguan County and then choose to cross the river.

However, the Luo River is not a small river, but a large river that stretches for thousands of kilometers and has excellent navigation capacity, especially the lower reaches of the Luo River in Nanhai Prefecture are very wide, even the Luo River in Sanyang Town, which is more than 400 kilometers away from the estuary, has a width of more than three kilometers.

It is not so easy for the Guang'an army to kill Pingdan County and then cross the river to attack Lianguan County.

With spare time, they might as well continue to go south and go directly to the county seat of Luo'an County!

The county seat of Luo'an County, but on the west bank of the Luo River.

Lin Ziran decided to go north to garrison Nanguangcheng, and his real strategic goal was not to carry the Guang'an army to death, but to make the Guang'an army feel that the gains outweighed the losses, so that they could detour to the west bank of the Luo River, so as to lead the water to the west and make Feng Haozhong, Zhao Song, and Jian Minggang have a headache.

Anyway, his Lin Ziran's small arms and legs can't stop the army of at least 10,000 or even more than 20,000 people in Guang'an.

All he needs to do is make sure the northern part of Lianguan County is safe.

With such a strategic purpose, Lin Ziran quickly led his army west to Sanyang Town, and arrived at Sanyang Town in the afternoon of the same day.

When Zhou Li knew that Lin Ziran had arrived with a large army, he didn't know what had happened.

Only after this question did I know that Feng Haozhong actually planned to take the initiative to give up Chongguang City, and Lin Ziran went north to garrison Nanguang City for his own safety.

Lin Ziran brought Zhou Li over, not to explain anything to him, but to ask a question he was very concerned about: "If the Guang'an people go south and control the west bank of the Luo River, will it affect your oil tankers?" ”

He was worried that even if he kept the oil field area and Sanyang Town, if Zhou Li and the others couldn't transport the kerosene away, it would be very troublesome.

However, Zhou Li smiled when he heard this: "What impact can this have, there are wars every day, and I haven't seen any firm that doesn't do business!" ”

After speaking, he put away his smile and said arrogantly: "I don't dare to say it in other places, but there are really few people in Nanhai Prefecture who dare to stop our Nanzhou Bank fleet, and Guang'an County doesn't have the courage to do so!" ”

"Once our bank stops their loans, they can't even afford to fight!"

Hearing Zhou Li's words, Lin Ziran was speechless, okay, you are rich and amazing, but I am blindly worried!
