Not long after the adjutant went out, a short man who was also dressed in the uniform of the revolutionary army said in Longhua, who was holding his feet: "Chen Sang, I guess you don't know that what you are about to face is not the Gannan Army. It was a Xu family army that started from bandits and occupied Linzhou. If my intelligence is good, I'm afraid that the next person to fight you will be this Xu family's army. ”

Xu Jiajun! Hearing this unfamiliar title, Chen Mingyang sighed that the intelligence work of these Sun Nationals in Longhua was more accurate than that of their revolutionary army. Out of the sensitivity of a soldier, he always felt that this was not a good thing.

But now, if the revolutionary army wants to complete the reunification of the whole country, it will not be able to do it without the military assistance of the Sun Country. Therefore, for most of their division-level henchmen, Tianyou asked them to try to be patient and consider the overall situation when facing the military advisers of the Sun Country.

Because they must admit that the current Longhua Kingdom is indeed far behind the military and economic strength of the Sun Kingdom! Backwardness is being beaten, and the law of the jungle eats the strong, how can Chen Mingyang, as a division-level commander, not know it?

In the face of the information provided by the military adviser of the Sun Country who accompanied the army, Chen Mingyang also said politely: "Thank you for the reminder of the advisor, but can your country still provide specific information about this army?" ”

Watanabe was a little embarrassed and said, "Chen Sang, I'm very sorry for this." Our country has relatively little intelligence collection work on Gannan, and now we have received the news of Xu Jiajun, which is also the news that one of our patriotic businessmen who is doing business in Gannan has no intention of getting from a senior senator in the Gannan Governor's Office.

According to the information he provided to us, this Xu family army had at least two or three regiments, and its main settlement was Juxiang City, which was next to Linzhou. Some time ago, in order to compress the strength to resist you, the Gannan army deliberately gave up Linzhou and deployed a large army in Changzhou, the front of the capital.

It is not difficult to see from the deployment of the Gannan Army's troops that this Linzhou seems to have been abandoned, they want to borrow our strength to fight to the death with the Xu Jiajun, and then sit and reap the benefits of fishing and rice! ”

The benefits of fishing rice! This foreign devil Long Huawen has not learned thoroughly, but he always likes to show off his knowledge.

Chen Mingyang, who had long been accustomed to this little man, and popped up some strange idioms at every turn, said with a smile: "Advisor Watanabe is really worthy of the army staff of the Sun Country, and with the actions of the Gannan Army, you can judge the other party's intentions." So in Watanabe's opinion, what should we do next? ”

In this regard, the adviser seemed very sincere: "Chen Sang, I am only accompanying the army as an adviser, and the specific operations of your army are still formulated by you personally." We can't interfere too much, and now I've provided you with the information. If there's nothing to do, I'll take my leave. I'm a little tired from traveling these days, and I finally have a place to rest, and I'm really tired. ”

As a consultant sent to the Revolutionary Army by the Sun Country to provide military training and intelligence gathering, Watanabe Ichiro knew very well. The pure Longhua soldier in front of him is actually very disgusted with their meddling in military affairs. Therefore, in the face of Chen Mingyang's temptation again, he was still very smart to retreat under the pretense of resting.

It was this principle of orderly advance and retreat that allowed Watanabe to live well in the 3rd Division, and at least the officers of the 3rd Division had to give him a little face as a military adviser similar to the Minister of the Imperial Mission. If he really did not know how to advance and retreat and meddle in the command of the Third Division, he would not only arouse the disgust of these officers, but also give their current partner, the commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army, Guo Tianyou, a kind of unpleasant impression.

For Watanabe Ichiro's such a slippery approach, Chen Mingyang, who looked at the other party leaving, was also depressed. Sometimes dig a pit and wait for this guy to jump, but the other party cleverly avoids it every time. Chen Mingyang, who was very disgusted with the appearance of this dwarf in his heart, really couldn't find an excuse to drive the other party out of the command officer sequence of the third division.

Either way, at least the elf had provided timely information to make it clear to him who the unknown enemy was. A unit that started as bandits, and also has troops to occupy a state of land with its own dignity. It seems that this bandit leader is really ambitious. Gannan Army's current temporary forbearance, I'm afraid it's really as Watanabe said, I want the revolutionary army and this Xu Jiajun, who occupies the king's land, to fight to the death!

So what should the three divisions do? Their task is very clear, that is, to open up the responsibility of attacking the capital of Gannan and driving the Gannan army led by Ning Qingyuan out of Gannan. In this way, the revolutionary army, which currently controls the two lands, will be added to a rich land of fish and rice rich in grain. This will undoubtedly be of great help to the further expansion of the revolutionary army in the future.

Two or three regiments, then the opponent's strength should be around 5,000, and the revolutionary army should be one to three compared to the strength of the other side. With the reference of attacking and defending the opponent, but it can also play a different situation. Of course, this also depends on the quality of this Xu Jiajun's army.

With the experience of entering Linzhou, Chen Mingyang boldly judged that this Xu family army should be a good hand at fighting small sneak attacks and harassment battles. But in the face of positional offensive and defensive warfare, they must have little experience. This means that he must make the most of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and instead of fighting a small-scale sneak attack and harassment war with the opponent, he should concentrate his superior forces and break through the opponent's defensive circle in one fell swoop.

As long as you break their defensive blocking circle, believe that these bandit personalities who will run away if they can't take advantage of them, after realizing their awesomeness. I don't dare to riot with them at will!

In order to make the future march into Gannan go smoothly, Chen Mingyang decided to send people to reconnoiter tomorrow and wait until the detailed information of the other party was detected. In one heavy hand, the opponent was hurt, and the opponent who was beaten saw the revolutionary army and fled. Otherwise, with these bandit habits that can't be defeated, they will not be able to defeat the opponent's superior forces.

Letting them hide in the mountains and mountains of Linzhou may also endanger their future logistics and transportation lines. It will also bring a lot of confusion to the future when the revolutionary army takes over the local rule. Bandits are the source of this year's troubles and chaos. Chen Mingyang, who had carried out several crackdowns on bandits in Nanbin before, naturally knew very well that in order to suppress bandits, it was necessary to achieve the principle of eliminating evil and doing everything possible.

Once you don't die by fighting snakes, these vengeful bandits are likely to give you a fatal blow coldly. When the time comes, it is really possible that this grain of rat feces will spoil a pot of soup.

I thought that the temporary plan had been decided, and I looked at the time hand that it was close to midnight. Chen Mingyang, who was also tired during this time, quickly put away the map and entered the adjutant to pack up the haode room to rest after thinking about the next tasks to be carried out.

Not long after Chen Mingyang fell asleep, Linzhou City, which was still a little noisy in the first half of the night, soon began to fall asleep with the garrison. Nested near the barracks of the Linzhou City Security Corps, in a water pipe used to discharge sewage to the outside of the city, more than a dozen soldiers of the guard battalion were lying on the sewage pipe with their guns closed.

One of the officers at the head suddenly woke up and looked at his watch and said, "The grass chickens are lying on their stomachs, and it's our turn to wake them up and pee." ”

If the revolutionary army knew that more than 10,000 of them were described as grass chickens, they would probably be angry. For these soldiers of the guard battalion who were hiding under their noses, the revolutionary army who had not had such an experience would definitely be killed and did not believe it. Someone can sleep on their stomach in this kind of sewage-ridden pipe, how disgusting and uncomfortable it is.

It's just that for these guard battalion soldiers who have been trained in worse and worse conditions than this, their noses have adapted to this foul smell, and they know that physical strength cannot be wasted casually for a guard battalion soldier who is facing life and death at all times. Therefore, after the revolutionary army entered the city, they rested with their eyes closed in the haode drainage pipe that they had selected in advance. Waiting for another sortie in the evening!

According to the prior arrangement, the soldiers of the guard battalion, who had gathered in one place to rest, crawled away in the pipes. After setting up the haode observation port in advance and checking the movement outside. Buried outside some warehouses in the city that were convenient for people to live and store, the fuse was lit.

As for how much the explosion would cause at that time, the soldiers of these guard battalions did not care. After lighting the fuse that had been buried in the ground, the soldiers of the guard battalion quickly escaped into the drainage pipes and quickly climbed into the river leading to the outside of the city. After the officers who led the team counted the number of people and confirmed that they were correct.

By the moment the explosion sounded, they had already risen from the river and fled again into the makeshift resting place that had been arranged outside the city in advance. Once there, they can eat something and get some rest, waiting for another attack after dawn.

The soldiers of these guard battalions ran simply, but the soldiers of the revolutionary army who had just fallen asleep were awakened from their slumber by the sound of explosions in these places. Looking at the fires and explosions that were churning everywhere in the city, some soldiers of the revolutionary army with poor psychological quality actually shouted out the frightened sound of the Gannan army, and when they saw the figures running in the shadows, they were very afraid to shoot.

With this effect like bombing the camp, it brought fear to the soldiers of the revolutionary army stationed in the city, until Chen Mingyang ordered someone to quickly light the torches. The search for the enemy forces that had caused chaos found that nearly 10,000 troops stationed in the city had been killed and injured by the explosions, not to mention that many of them had been killed and wounded, and they had also blown up a warehouse where food and ammunition were stored.

Fortunately, the artillery and shells that were also pulled into the city tonight were concentrated in the camp and strictly guarded by the artillery battalion. So much so that they survived this nighttime explosion.

However, when the losses of the various departments were collected, looking at the casualties of hundreds of soldiers due to the bombing, Chen Mingyang's face also became gloomy. The heart said, "The way these bandits fight, in order to kill and injure the enemy, is really unscrupulous!" I'm afraid that these awakened officers and soldiers won't be able to rest tonight! ’
