If it weren't for the fact that Zou Guojian, assistant to the chief of staff, came at this time, and woke up the people in his dreams with a word, this problem in Xing'an City really doesn't know how long it would be difficult for everyone, including Qin Rigang.

Zou Guojian is now a well-known figure in the First Army. A bunch of high hats such as the master of explosives, the master of ordnance manufacturing, the living map of Sichuan, the master of artillery, and so on were detained by the officers and men of the front army.

From the beginning of working with his companions in western Fujian to assist Lin Wanqing's righteous army in developing the Turkish military factory, he gave full play to the skills of making explosives, grenades, and mines that he had newly learned in Shanghai, and made important contributions to the consolidation of the base areas in western Fujian.

After the recovery of Fujian, Zou Guojian was transferred to the Special Service Brigade of the Military Department of the Red First Army, followed Chen Yucheng into Foshan, and guided the Guangdong Tiandihui uprising led by Chen Kai and others. Later, he served as the deputy captain of the special service brigade and accompanied the army to conquer Guangxi.

Lin Fengxiang noticed in the list of commendations that Zou Guojian, who was good at using explosives, perhaps because there were too few Sichuan people in the army at that time, and he inquired in detail about Zou Guojian.

Lin Fengxiang is a person who is good at discovering and using talents. Before the two provinces of Guizhou and Guizhou were preparing to organize the Red First Army to prepare for the westward expedition to Yunnan, he asked from the Red First Army for this little man with a strong Sichuan accent and a good understanding of military engineering. He specially sent Zou Guojian to Guiyang to assist the experts from Tianjing in preparing for the construction of the Guiyang Arsenal.

During that time in Guiyang, Zou Guojian had a deeper understanding of the production of new weapons. He also became particularly interested in artillery because the arsenal was refitting the old artillery of various armies.

When he entered Yunnan, Lin Fengxiang still did not forget him. Zou Guojian began to lead troops again, not much, a brigade, although this was only a newly formed brigade, and not even a single cannon was allocated. However, in the Battle of Kunming, which conquered the Hedgehogs of the Manchu Qing Army in Yunnan, Brigade Commander Zou, who was familiar with explosives when he was teaching the brigade, used explosives and a small number of hand-issued grenades to closely coordinate to preempt the friendly troops and open the passage into Kunming. This battle not only shocked the prestige of his young brigade, but also made the generals who were accustomed to using artillery cover sigh and refreshed.

What Zou Guojian didn't expect was that with the strong cooperation and echo of Du Wenxiu and other rebels in Yunnan, after the Red quickly pacified Yunnan, Lin Fengxiang still relied on him as the pillar of the military industry. Except for supervising the affairs of the military industry and assisting the newly established Du Wenxiu Provincial Government in formulating an economic development plan, he did not have the idea of asking him to lead the troops again.

He had an awkward feeling in his heart. However, if you think about it carefully, it is still the right thing that Chief of Staff Huang Zaixing said is that Yunnan is located on the border, and whether or not the military and economic strength here is strong in the future will directly affect the stability of the interior and even the entire Celestial Empire. As a result, he also figured out that a strong military force is inseparable from a complete military construction.

When the army was about to enter Sichuan, Zou Guojian could no longer suppress his excitement, he remembered again, he was a warrior, and the warrior had to use his own hands to personally liberate his homeland. So, he began to grind the commander-in-chief Lin Fengxiang, the chief of staff Huang Zaixing, and the deputy chief of staff Zeng Jinfa, for one reason, he knew the terrain of all parts of Sichuan well.

Indeed, Zou Guojian has two special skills that have not been brought into play. He loves geography, and when he was in his hometown, he traveled through the mountains and rivers of Sichuan, and His Royal Highness King An also saw the maps he drew himself. Not only that, but it was precisely because of his natural preference for geography, coupled with his love and knowledge of new explosives and artillery, that he was able to master and apply all kinds of Western artillery and modified old-fashioned homemade cannons that the Red Army was equipped with today, and what was more powerful was that he also had extremely precise eyes. As long as his fingers stand in front of him, the target hundreds or thousands of steps away can be judged as if he was measuring it with a ruler, and it is accurate.

According to the thinking of Lin Fengxiang and other generals of the General Headquarters, they originally wanted to arrange for Zou Guojian to stay in Kunming as the chief of staff of Chen Zongyang, the overseer of Yunnan, first, to preside over the production of ordnance, and second, to assist Governor Du Wenxiu in coordinating the development of Yunnan's economic construction.

In the end, Zou Guojian got his wish, although he was only a guide officer at the headquarters, and although he did not have the opportunity to command a unit by himself as before, he was still excited.

People's shining points can often be completely burst out on certain occasions and conditions.

Zou Guojian is no exception. He did not boast, from the plan to send troops to Yunnan, to the march all the way, and the hobby of traveling to his hometown of Sichuan, which made him give the headquarters of the Red Army a heavy support in terms of geographical environment, Xiongguan, fortress, and even a remote trail that was difficult for others to take to heart, all in his mind.

When the Zhao and Song dynasties sent 60,000 people to attack Houshu, it was only 66 days before the end of the Houshu regime was announced, and Sichuan was included in the rule of the Song Dynasty. It was precisely because of the role of Zou Guojian that the Red Army's more than 100,000 troops recovered Sichuan in only 60 days, setting a record in the history of Sichuan wars. More importantly, during these 60 days, the Red Army repeatedly adopted the tactics of luring the enemy to send reinforcements, not only completely eliminating the original Manchu forces in Sichuan, but also annihilating a large number of reinforcements sent by the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Saishan, from Hanzhong and Xing'an, and hollowing out the main force of the Qing army in southern Shaanxi. In addition, in western Sichuan, he also knocked out the Tibetan army that tried to enter Sichuan to reinforce the army, so that the leaders of Tibet could understand the power of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire.

In the battle to seize Chengdu, Zou Guojian's third talent burst out again. When the Red Army used Chengdu as a bait to annihilate a large number of Manchu reinforcements from all over the country, and began to finally clean up the city of Chengdu, Zou Guojian, who couldn't bear it, had long forgotten that he was just a guide officer, and he ran to the artillery position "without authorization", and personally operated the artillery, the first artillery pulled up the Yellow Dragon Banner that shook on the city tower, and the second artillery killed the Manchu Chengdu general Le Bin, who was commanding his subordinates to resist desperately, on the spot, and the third artillery ......

In the end, dozens of cannons were fired together with his calibrated size, which not only broke the hearts and minds of the Manchu officers and soldiers in the city, but also made the Red Army officers and men under the city cheer and boost their morale, and the leaders of the headquarters such as Lin Fengxiang, Huang Zaixing, and Zeng Jinfa, who saw the scene in front of them with binoculars, were also dumbfounded.

After this battle, Lin Fengxiang understood that this little man in Sichuan was not only an expert in ordnance, but also a real artillery expert. As a result, Zou Guojian was promoted to red, on the one hand, chief of staff, artillery and service assistant.

Lin Fengxiang's employment is a must.

Now, under the city of Xing'an, in a pair of eager eyes, Zou Guojian carefully observed the west city of Xing'an in front of him with a telescope, and slowly put down his hands holding the telescope. He was silent for a moment, and then two eyebrows, which were tightly twisted together, were not very thick, and a smile appeared on his face.

Naturally, there was a look of astonishment, wonder and anticipation around him, and no one could understand that he could still laugh at this time. Of course, they also wanted to understand why this magical character laughed. After that, everyone will soon understand, and then, of course, more people are grinning or crooked, laughing happily.

Shaanxi's chili peppers are good, known as Qin pepper reputation, they are spicy, spicy as if the wind of the Loess Plateau, dry and hard, straight to the point, will not turn the kind of spicy at all.

In accordance with the instructions of Assistant Chief of Staff Zou, groups of Red Army soldiers quickly began to buy and collect chili peppers in all directions. The processed paprika is then packed into shells that no longer have much explosives.

The Red Army commandos with wet wipes on their faces drove the ladder and were about to arrive at the city, more than a dozen cannons fired rapidly according to the size marked by Zou Guojian......

Naturally, no matter who is in the city, what else can they do except shed tears and cough up lifelessly?

As soon as Xing'an was concerned, the troops of the Red Second Army swept eastward had also easily taken Nuwa Mountain, and then went down to the last pass at the junction of Shaanxi and Hubei Guanyazi, and opened up contact with the troops of the Red Second Front Army advancing westward.

Qin Rigang was dissatisfied, and he was extremely dissatisfied, because time had been wasted for too long.

Of course, there is another reason that the pass was actually broken by the troops of the Red Second Front Army first, which hurt his face very much. He was even afraid in his heart, if Zhu Xikun, a dead fat man, had his hand slower, the entire Xing'an City would be taken by others first.

According to the prior plan of the front army headquarters, Luo Qiongshu, who came up later, led the Red 20th Army to Ningshan Town, to wait for reinforcements from the Manchu army, which might go south through the Guò meridian road. Zou Guojian assisted Zhu Xikun's Red Second Army and Zhenba's 14th Army to begin to form local governments, pacify the people, and rest the army.

Seeing that everything was going on in an orderly manner, Qin Rigang rushed to Hanzhong City with confidence. When he heard that Lin Fengxiang had taken Hanzhong City, which was much stronger than Xing'an, with just a letter, the fire in Qin Rigang's heart came up again. Thinking of the dead traitor Wu Zhidao who was captured alive after the destruction of Xing'an City, he felt more and more that he was simply unlucky.

Wu Zhidao, the old white hair, I don't know which angry Red Army soldier cut off the unlucky braid that is estimated to be no stronger than a pig's tail, on the way to the execution ground, in full view of everyone, this pure descendant of the Qin and Han dynasties, actually kept crying to death, "My braids...... You bandits and robbers who don't want ancestors and shame, return my braids...... Woowoo...... What face do I have to meet the ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs......" Look, he is not afraid of death, but simply because he lost the precious braid on the back of his head.
