The strength of a regiment is not enough for a master of strategy and tactics like Huang Wentao, who has experienced a hundred battles, to plug his teeth, and in the excellent situation that he has already achieved a phased victory, his purpose is not to annihilate the strength of a division or a brigade such a victory, what he wants is to quell the rebellion, seize Nguyen Cheng Giang and his accomplices, completely eradicate this military group, and prevent future troubles, and with the help of this incident, eliminate dissidents, sweep away the noise, and carry out a major political reshuffle again. Establish a political environment that is more conducive to one's own rule, and consolidate and strengthen one's leadership position as an absolute political leader.

In the direction of Hefu, the pursuing troops rose in all directions, crossed the Red River, pursued along the railway line to Anren, Hai Duong Brigade, Binh Ninh Brigade, and Taiping Brigade marched together to attack the flank of the Lang Son Division, and there was a posture of driving the Lang Son Division into the Red River, and cut off the Lang Son Division and Nguyen Cheng Giang's central army to rendezvous, divide and encircle, and break through each one, according to Huang Wentao's judgment, Nguyen Cheng Jiang would definitely order the Lang Son Division to move closer to it regardless of the cost, and break through the encirclement together, and to Huang Wentao's judgment, Ruan Cheng Jiang did not retreat to Haiyang City first, Instead, he waited for the Lang Son division less than 30 kilometers away from Hai Duong, which gave Huang Wentao a big surprise, because he had already mobilized a large number of naval ships to transport a strong force by sea to prepare for a secret landing from Hai Phong City, interspersed with the back of Hai Duong, and intercept Nguyen Cheng Giang and his army, so that he clearly gave himself ample time to complete this military deployment, lay out his pockets, dig a trap, and wait for them to get in.

The soldiers of this regiment tried their last bit of combat strength and put up stubborn resistance to cover the retreat of the main force, but when both flanks were fiercely attacked, they could not resist longer, An Nhon was soon lost, most of the whole regiment was annihilated, and the rest laid down their weapons and became prisoners, which shows that Nguyen Cheng Jiang has very good control over his descendant troops, and this unit is extremely loyal to him.

The loss of An Ren, so that the retreating troops of the Lang Son division were directly exposed to the encirclement of the government army, the pursuers quickly arrived, from behind and flanks all the way to cover and kill, and drove them sideways into the Red River, the situation of the Lang Son division was very dangerous, they began to be able to fight and retreat, but Huang Wentao dispatched the air force to carry out night bombing, although there were not many planes dispatched, but this move still had a fatal blow to the Lang Son division, and their psychology was destroyed, Then a main regiment of the Taiping Brigade interspersed with a small town called Angu in the middle of An Nhan and Hai Duong City, began to build fortifications, carried out two-sided blockades, cut off the way for the Lang Son Division to meet with the Chinese army of Nguyen Thanh Giang, and held it like a nail, the Lang Son Division was less than a kilometer away from its own Chinese army, and the two sides could even hear the sound of artillery fire and shouts of killing on both sides, the commanders were anxious, and organized batch after batch of death squads to tear apart the enemy's defense line, but this regiment of the Taiping Brigade resisted stubbornly regardless of casualties, Fighting to the death and not retreating, buying time for the large army to complete the encirclement on both sides.

Huang Wentao's phone call directly went to the regimental command post and directly gave the commander of the main regiment a death order, even if he fought to the last man, he must hold Angu Town, complete the blocking task, and fight to the death to annihilate the rebels.

Ruan Chengjiang was so nervous that he went to the front line of the position to check the battle situation, his anxious eyes looked through the night, and saw in front of him and not far from the front of him, the artillery fire was in the sky, the fire was soaring, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the guns in the hands of the soldiers were scurrying towards the silver snakes scurrying all over the ground, and groups of death squads around him rushed up, except for a few wounded ones who were carried down, and the rest of the land was never seen back. At the height of the battle, both sides even fought with bayonets, and the positions were covered with corpses, but the defense line still failed to break through.

At this time, the sound of the plane's engine was heard in the sky, and the guards hurriedly pulled Nguyen Chengjiang to a safe area to evacuate to prevent being hit by the air.

In the combat command room of the Northern Military Region, Li Anping nervously looked at the battle report from the front, the fierce battle situation and the skyrocketing casualties made his heart drip blood, in his opinion, the huge losses caused by the civil war caused by personal power and political disputes are the sorrow of the country and nation of Annan, hindering the process of national development, and bringing indelible pain to many families, which he actually does not want to see.

He regretted very much why he had followed Nguyen Cheng Giang on this hopeless path of rebellion, which was an extremely wrong decision from the current point of view, and if he had gone back two days ago, he thought that he would have tried his best to prevent this civil war started by the wrong people at the wrong time and in the wrong place.

Just when Li Anping was stunned when he looked at the battle report, Ruan Shulin stood outside the command room and looked at him with indifferent eyes, until now, he was still worried that Li Anping was not sincerely standing with him, worried that he would repeat, because if he wanted to switch to the court, arrest Ruan Chengjiang, and lead this group of rebels anyway, he could not do without Li Anping's support, and he needed Li Anping to suppress those middle and lower-level officers, obey their leadership, and return to the control of the original central power. Now, judging from the current situation and the changes in his mood when he secretly observed Li Anping, he believed that Li Anping would join forces with him to prevent Ruan Chengjiang from continuing to lead them deeper and deeper into this death swamp.

He raised his feet and walked into the command room, came to Li Anping's back, coughed lightly, this time woke up Li Anping, he turned his face, staring at Ruan Shulin blankly, and then his eyes began to change, gradually becoming firm, as if he was making some kind of determination.

He nodded slowly at Ruan Shulin, he believed that Ruan Shulin understood the meaning in his gaze, and sure enough, Ruan Shulin nodded in response, and the two had the same mind and reached a tacit understanding.

The two walked out of the combat command room one after the other, seeing that there was no one on the left and right, Ruan Shulin spoke first: "It's all arranged, when he returns from the forward position, me and my people will start to do it, all his guards must be cleared first, I have arranged a few snipers around, no one is allowed to escape, you stay in the command post, wait for my signal, once you succeed, I will take him to the north first, find a hidden place to hide, this army has no leader, and then it will all depend on you, You must immediately suppress all the middle and lower commanders, make them obey your orders, lay down their arms, stop resisting, put an end to this rebellion, and if there are die-hard elements who dare to disobey, they must be suppressed by coercive means, kill a group, and when the situation is stabilized, I will bring him back and hand him over to the central government to wait for the trial of the law. ”

Li Anping nodded calmly: "Don't worry, I know what to do, and there will be no chaos." ”
