"Mr. Lei, what's going on?"

Commissioner Lei nodded slightly and whispered to the visitor, "Feng Laoba is anxious. He should suggest that the Feng family lead the 19th Army into Lingnan."

"Great events are expected!"

The fist hit the high point, and the visitor took off his sunglasses and revealed his true face. It was Han Xizai who was secretly heading to Jiangdong.

According to the ideas of the internal forces of Shaozhou, if you want to ensure that Shaozhou is not annexed by the "Working Party" or the Feng family, you can only borrow the power. There is only Qian Liu around Lingnan who has this strength and ambition.

Annan Province is indeed not small, but Li Jin, the head of Annan Province, has strength but lacks ambitions.

Enjoy yourself in the small circle of "Four Major Families in the South China Sea" and have no courage or courage to mess around in Lingnan Province.

At this time in Shaozhou, the "Five-Secret Soup Pot" and several local aristocratic families such as Xu, Li, and Zhang were ready to respond to Qian Liu's actions. As long as the armed forces in Jiangdong Province appear in Lingnan Province, it would be a signal.

For them, it is another autumn harvest. Even if the "People's Party" wants to go south, it will have to prepare for a winter, and it will be more reasonable to take action in spring.

But they didn't know that while they were secretly happy that Qian Liu was about to end, the front-line troops of the "Tang People's Revolutionary Army" had arrived in Gan County, and the scouts were only less than 300 miles away from Zhenchang County in Shaozhou.

Even if the local troops in Shaozhou began to mobilize, assemble and deploy defense, there was no time left.

Soldiers are very fast!

After the left wing of the Fifth Army cooperated with the First Army to capture two counties and three towns, the main force went south along the Gan River. In addition to part of the baggage passing through the waterway through the motor boat, the main force mainly traveled through the mountainous areas in the northern Qianzhou with mules and horses and two legs.

The geographical environment here is very fine. There are many places named after various "kills and wooholes" among the mountains. Although there are many villages in the mountainous areas, they also seem to be divided due to the geographical environment.

When the army passed by, many villages fled when they heard the news. The villagers had no idea what the "Tang People's Revolutionary Army" was, nor did they know what the "People's Party" was. They didn't even remember the "Jingnan Army" because the people in Lingnan were not stupid and would not go to such ghost places to rob when they went north.

However, there are still brave people coming out to watch the fun. Some people even thought that the "Tang People's Revolutionary Army" was an angel of the imperial court, so they dragged their families to block the road and shouted for justice, saying that their houses were occupied, their land was robbed, and so on.

Hu Bing, who has always been known as a powerful general, showed a delicate side at this time. He sent a spy company and a few documents to go to various hills as an "angel".

The people in the mountains heard that many imitators followed the examples, and all the old grievances were shaken off. The spies followed the documents and sentenced them according to the temporary laws and regulations of the revolutionary area, and also built a temporary prison in a place called "Bailongkeng".

After Hu Bing and Guo Wei calibrated the time and persuaded the Ganxian garrison to surrender and failed to resist, it was agreed to launch a shelling attack in the early morning of September 4th.

"Mr. Guo, the Fifth Army called, has broken through the 'Wutong Pit' and established an artillery position in the 'Pantet Hill'. It is expected that the fourth round of artillery will be launched at about 1:15!"

"good!"

Guo Wei looked at the map and was very happy that the defenders of Gan County had been driven together by them.

The Qianzhou garrison is the 29th Army and the 21st Army in the Ministry of War. The 29th Army is at the junction of Shaozhou and Qianzhou to ensure the smooth or poor railways.

The 21st Army was distributed around Gan County, but because of the "Jingnan Army", the 21st Army is now controlled by the Lingnan forces, so its organization has long been broken through and expanded into four divisions, with each division's force of up to 17,000, totaling more than 60,000 people.

As for the elite Western Army of the Empire, it is difficult for one army to reach 20,000, and it has been controlled at about 12,000 for a long time.

The "redundant soldiers and redundant personnel" policy in Lingnan Province is obviously to consume local resources in Qianzhou. In fact, the same is true. A large amount of land output in Qianzhou is consumed on these more than 60,000 people who are not engaged in production.

However, the 21st Army can only cut half of the attack, but the reason is simple. The number of guns is insufficient, so basically two people can get a gun.

In other words, the remaining half of the troops will either serve as laborers, be in reserves, or carry cold weapons to fight against people.

In fact, the same is true. In the past two years, the 21st Army has been carrying a large blade on its body and then maintaining local order.

Because there is no sense of crisis, two of the 21st Army's major camps are outside the county town of Ganxian, adjacent to Zhangshui and Gongshui, so they are also called "Shuangjiangkou Military Base".

There is a place called "Shui Zhukeng" nearby, which is located on the opposite side of Gongshui of the "Shuangjiangkou Military Base". A artillery position of Guo Wei is here.

Another artillery position is in a place called "Yindian", targeting the position of the 21st Army Third Division on the other side of the river.

There is a bridge above the Gongshui River, and the Third Division guards this place. The entire division forms a long snake along the river bank, stationed in regiments every five to ten miles.

After three rounds of artillery bombardment, these "redundant soldiers and redundant" flimsy troops were beaten to the point of being beaten.

In less than half an hour, it completely collapsed.

But this battle was not what Guo Wei wanted.

Ganxian has a special geographical environment. The county town is surrounded by water on three sides, and only faces the Fifth Army in the northwest direction. The southeast part of the outer land is also surrounded by water on three sides, which just complements the Ganxian county town, like two peninsulas.

What Guo Wei had to do was to drive the enemy troops in the east to the peninsula in the east, while Hu Bing drove the enemy troops in the west to the peninsula in the west, that is, the county town.

Only when tens of thousands of defeated soldiers and generals enter a desperate situation can they be completely eliminated.

"After the shelling is over, someone will be sent to persuade the Ganxian government to surrender. Remember, it is the Ganxian government, not the Ganxian garrison."

"yes!"

When attacking Ganxian, Yangba had already chased after him and told a situation, that is, Tian Yixing, the county magistrate of Yudu County, and Tan Yanchang, the governor of Qianzhou, had an old age. At the critical moment, he could lobby.

Tan Yanchang is the son of Jiangxi's great official Tan Quanbo. Tan Quanbo was once the candidate for the Lingyan Pavilion. He served as the highest official in Jiangxi Province for two times and had close ties with Tian Yixing. Tian Yixing should call Tan Yanchang "Brother of the World".

With this relationship, all the lobbyists who persuaded surrender were neatly arranged.

After killing more than 20,000 troops in the 21st Army in two hours, the atmosphere in the prefecture building in Ganxian was extremely serious. I originally wanted to call Guangzhou urgently, but the radio station was blown up at some point.

A large hole was also blown out of the steam engine for emergency power supply.

They are now just flies in the stew pot, and they have no idea where to fly.

"Mr. Tan! Not as good as..."

"What's better?! How could Tan Gongshi accept the emperor's kindness? How could he not understand why he would commit himself to the thief!"

“…”

“…”

If someone said this, it would be impossible to just want to do something.

The people of the 21st Army were also busy calling people to defend, seize the city tower, and set up shooting positions. It was just a mess at night. The soldiers did not know the generals, and the generals did not know the soldiers, and they were simply pieced together randomly.

When a regiment commander was even preparing to call on his troops to fight against the invading enemy, he found that there were only fifty people left by his side, and all the remaining soldiers were missing...
