February is fleeting, and at this moment, the army in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province is gathered.

In the north of Ganzhou Prefecture, the Ming army led by Song Yingchang, the right attendant of the Ming Dynasty's military department, claimed to be 200,000 troops, but in fact the strength was only more than 80,000, plus some young men recruited locally in Jiangxi, the number was only more than 100,000.

In the four counties of Anyuan, Changning, Longnan, and Dingnan in the south of Ganzhou Prefecture, it is the majority of the First Group Army of the People's Army under the command of Wang Shengrong, with a total strength of more than 60,000.

Among them, the firearms unit, which is the absolute main force, has a brigade of more than 700 tiger head guns, including two infantry battalions, four artillery battalions, three artillery battalions are equipped with more than 120 Franc machine guns, and one artillery battalion is equipped with 54 tiger head guns.

The sub-main advance and grenadier units each had one brigade, and four divisions of the last cold weapons unit.

A small part of the First Group Army still confronted the Huguangming Army in the northern part of Shaozhou Prefecture and Guangzhou Prefecture, and the strength of this part of the People's Army amounted to more than 15,000 troops, and the total strength of the entire First Group Army was close to 80,000, which was about to catch up with the combined strength of the Second Group Army and the Third Group Army.

After seeing the continuous convergence of the Ming army into Jiangxi, the People's Army basically determined that the southern part of Jiangxi would become the main battlefield of the battle between the two armies, and the People's Army would also transfer more troops and materials to the First Group Army.

As the two armies converged in the territory of Ganzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi, a major war was about to break out.

Song Yingchang has been in the capital of Ganzhou for more than half a month, and it is very close to the front line, and here, Song Yingchang can quickly get the latest movements of the People's Army.

The Ming army gathered in Ganzhou Mansion, such a big movement Song Yingchang knew that he couldn't hide it, and he didn't think about hiding it, seeing that the strength of the People's Army was increasing, Song Yingchang didn't want to wait any longer.

Although there are still Ming troops on the way to Jiangxi, in Song Yingchang's view, the Ming army is now at war with the People's Army, and there is a relatively greater certainty that it will be able to defeat the People's Army.

A large number of Ming army spies entered the territory of Guangdong and found out some of the situation of the People's Army, such as the People's Army in the south of Ganzhou Prefecture, with a strength of about 60,000, and most of the recruits were recruits, and these recruits were just farmers who had put down their farm tools for no more than two months.

Two months is not enough time for these recruits to have much combat effectiveness, and perhaps a tragic battle will scare these recruits to the ground.

At least one-third of the 80,000 Ming troops commanded by Song Yingchang were elite, and less than a quarter of the Weisuo army with low combat effectiveness was in hand, and with such a strong army in hand, Song Yingchang planned to defeat the enemy in the first battle with the enemy and directly attack the territory of Guangdong.

If he continues to wait, the Ming army in Song Yingchang's hands will continue to increase, but the recruits of the People's Army will slowly grow over time, and it will be easier to have accidents at that time.

On the first day of March, Song Yingchang left the capital of Ganzhou and came to Xinfeng County, which was the forefront of the Ming army, Longnan County in the south, Anyuan County in the southeast, and tens of thousands of people's troops were stationed in the two counties to resist the tens of thousands of Ming troops in Xinfeng County.

As Song Yingchang rushed to Xinfeng County, most of the Ming troops in Ganzhou Prefecture converged to Xinfeng County, and seeing the movement of the Ming army, Wang Shengrong also transferred the People's Army in Dingnan County and Changning County to the front line.

Before this, neither the Ming army nor the People's Army concentrated all their forces on the front line, the simplest reason is that both sides are not ready for war, especially the People's Army, it is better not to go to war if it can not go to war, the People's Army still needs time to develop, and the longer the People's Army develops, the more confident it is to confront the Ming Army.

The Ming army had a clear understanding of the situation of the People's Army, and the People's Army also knew about the situation of the Ming Army, and before there was any sign of war, Wang Shengrong repeatedly called meetings of the senior officers of the First Group Army to discuss how to fight this battle.

At the meeting, a battle plan has been set, in the plan, once the two armies are about to start a war, the People's Army in Anyuan County and Longnan County will first converge and march to Xinfeng County together, turning the passive into the active, if the Ming Army starts an offensive first, whether it is attacking Anyuan County or Changning County, it will be a trouble for the People's Army, and the People's Army is most worried that the People's Army will be cut into two parts by the Ming Army.

The KPA did not want to go to war, but that did not mean that the KPA was afraid of going to war, the KPA had prepared enough for this battle, the Second Army and the Third Army had only added one infantry company each, most of the Tiger Head Guns were sent to the First Army, and more grenades were sent to the First Army than to the Second Army and the Third Army combined.

Although the grenadier unit of the First Group Army was established for the shortest time and did not have any achievements, after the grenades were delivered to the First Group Army, Wang Shengrong organized the grenadier unit to conduct a small-scale exercise, during which Wang Shengrong saw the strong "close combat" ability of the grenadier unit.

Long-distance attacks have firearms troops, the number is small, but they can also hurt the enemy, in close combat, grenadier troops cooperate with the first troops, Wang Shengrong can not imagine that the enemy has any way to resist.

Even if most of the people in the People's Army were recruits, even if the Ming Army had more troops, even if the Ming Army had a way to resist the People's Army's firearms troops, Wang Shengrong was not too anxious, and in the face of this upcoming war, Wang Shengrong seemed relatively calm.

The firearms unit and the grenadier unit are Wang Shengrong's confidence, even if he can't defeat the Ming army, he can block the Ming army, and that's enough.

The KPA does not need to expand its territory now, and even if it does, there will not be enough officials to govern the new territory.

What the KPA needs is time to continue to develop, and as long as it gives the KPA a few years, the KPA will have the strength to overthrow the Ming court.

The Ming army continued to converge on Xinfeng County, and Song Yingchang had arrived in Xinfeng County.

The People's Army had already gathered in Longnan County and Anyuan County, and under Wang Shengrong's order, the People's Army of Longnan County and Anyuan County were ready to converge and then march together towards Xinfeng County.

Knowing the actions of the People's Army, Song Yingchang felt a little strange.

"The leader of the thief army is so arrogant that he dares to take the initiative to attack?"

Song Yingchang couldn't understand how the People's Army, with its small strength and poor strength, would take the initiative to march to Xinfeng County, even if the Ming Army had not all gathered in Xinfeng County, the Ming Army in Xinfeng County would not be less than the People's Army.

After the strangeness, Song Yingchang had a trace of worry in his heart, from the appearance of the People's Army to the occupation of most areas of Guangdong by the People's Army, and even today, no matter how you look at it, the People's Army will not be arrogant, if it is arrogant, after capturing most of Guangdong, the People's Army should continue to march to Huguang or Jiangxi, instead of staying in Guangdong and stopping.

These thoughts flashed in Song Yingchang's mind, the big war was about to break out, and there was no time to think about that, just know the specific situation in a war.
