Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

On February 2, after Qin Lin's order was issued, the 26th Army Group quickly rushed to the Chang'an Provincial Government and occupied the entire Chang'an Province at lightning speed. The cabinet also acted very quickly and began to take over the entire Chang'an Provincial Government, stabilizing the originally turbulent situation in Chang'an Province.

When the people of Chang'an Province knew that the Qin army was coming, they raised their flags and applauded. The court gave up on them without hesitation. From then on, they were no longer the people of the Daqian Dynasty, but the people of the Qin family!

In addition, Xue Hongyi's 18th Army also quickly rushed to Chang'an Province and stationed troops at the border of Yuzhou Province.

Finally, there is the 39th Army stationed in Meng Province. They also began to take action and stationed their troops above Taiyuan Province. Any careful person would find that Taiyuan Province, which had been captured by the Japanese, was now in the encirclement of the Qin Army.

The 37th Army and the 39th Army, with a combined force of 50, plus Xue Hongyi's 18th Army and Qin Lin's 7th Army, totaling 85 troops, began to rush to the front and arrived at the corresponding garrison locations. Qin Lin also brought the 7th Army to Bei'an Prefecture, Chang'an Province to set up a frontline headquarters.

[Ding: Technology points increased by 10, and one technology fruit was awarded. Please check it.] (Note: Please leave your comments on what technology you want and we will select it from the comments.)

Qin Lin had gotten used to the sudden mechanical sounds, because after taking over a territory, the corresponding technology points would be increased. The number of technology points increased was assessed based on a series of factors such as the industrial level, technological level, and economic level of the occupied territory. Qin Lin was surprised that Chang'an Province could reach 10 technology points, because he guessed it would be between 10 and , but he didn't expect it to reach .

As for the reward of a technology fruit, it is also standard. You can choose any technology fruit within the global industrial level. Qin Lin chose heavy machine guns and howitzers. Of course, you can also choose aircraft carriers, planes and tanks, but Northwest China could not manufacture them at all at that time, so it would be a waste of an opportunity if you chose them.

"Young Marshal."

Deng Wenzhong walked into the headquarters and came to Qin Lin and said, "I have found out clearly that the imperial army and the Japanese Qiannan Army have started a war in the Eastern Province. The Japanese Qiannan Army's 85 troops are directly attacking, and the imperial court has also sent more than 80 troops to join in. The battle in the Eastern Province is in full swing now."

"As for the Japs' Sixth Front Army, after it took over Yizhou Province, it began to attack Yuzhou Province. The Japs' Third Front Army's route of advance is our Chang'an Province. If we beat back the Japs' Third Front Army, the Japs will have two front armies attacking Yuzhou Province. So I guess the Japs will definitely not put both front armies into Yuzhou Province."

"The battlefield is all about staying the same in the face of ever-changing situations," Qin Lin said. "If the Japanese Third Front Army doesn't go to Yuzhou Province, then we will encircle them from two directions. Let the 39th Army advance into Taiyuan from Meng Province, and our Chang'an Province army will push forward. We will gather 65 troops to destroy the Japanese Third Front Army, and then take over Taiyuan Province."

"Look," Qin Lin pointed at the map and said, "As long as Taiyuan Province is taken by us, the Sixth Army entering Yuzhou Province will be caught in a trap. Our three major armies plus the Seventh Army, more than 7 troops will encircle and suppress the Japs' Sixth Army. The Japs' Sixth Army will have only two choices: one is to fight us, and the other is to march from the south into the court's territory, Anwan Province!"

"Then this coincides with our grand strategy," Deng Wenzhong said, "Drive the devils to the imperial court's territory. If the imperial court army does not resist and gives up the territory, we will pick up the slack from behind!"

"Haha, that's right!"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "This is the core of my grand strategy. Let the devils drive out the imperial court. We drive out the devils and then take over the territory occupied by the devils. We drive out the devils, take over the territory, and win the hearts of the people. It's three birds with one stone."

"What is the current situation of the Japanese third army?" Qin Lin asked.

"We have captured Taiyuan Province and set up the headquarters of the Third Front Army in Jincheng. The 45 troops under our command have begun to deploy, and there are 30 puppet troops who have begun to march towards our Chang'an Province."

Qin Lin came to the map and analyzed the enemy's route of advance, then pointed at the Yellow River and said, "Let the 37th Army and our 7th Army use the Yellow River as a defense line. We must not let the enemy cross the west of the Yellow River at any cost."

"clear."

After Qin Lin's order was issued, the 37th Army and the 7th Army began to use the Yellow River as a defense line and built a 300-kilometer defense line to keep the Japanese troops north of the Yellow River.

As for the deployment of the Chang'an Provincial Army, the Japanese Third Front Army was also well aware of it. As an old rival, Tianchi Shota completely let go of his contempt this time, because in the northern region, it was because the Third Front Army underestimated the Northwestern Qin Army of Daqian Kingdom that led to the loss of more than 60,000 troops at the hands of the other side.

"Qin~Lin!"

At the headquarters of the Third Front Army, Tianchi Shota looked at Qin Lin's basic information and his overly young portrait, and said, "This time, I'm going to capture you alive!"

After that, Tianchi Shota came to the sand table and said, "Let the puppet army take the lead to consume the strength of the Qin army, and then send a division to the Yonghe area to conduct a tentative attack with the Qin army. We must know ourselves and the enemy before we can inflict a heavy blow to the Qin army."

"Hi Yi!"

After Tianchi Shota finished speaking, he dispatched 45 of the 25 troops under his command, and there were 30 puppet soldiers. The Japanese military saw the value of this puppet army and specially formulated a set of promotion ranks for it. They also equipped it with certain weapons and equipment, with each person having a gun, and there were also many light machine guns, which could effectively consume the strength of the enemy troops.

A total of 25 troops, including 30 Japanese troops and 55 puppet troops, began to march towards Chang'an Province. After three days of marching, all the troops arrived at the front-line area. Among them, the 337th Division began to march from Yong'an County and launched an attack on the Qin Army across the Yellow River.

Coincidentally, the troops opposite Yonghe County were the 7th Army, which was defended by Chang Xingwang's troops. When Chang Xingwang learned that the Japanese took the lead in attacking the area he was defending, he was so happy.

"This devil has good vision! Haha."

Chang Xingwang smiled happily and said, "Finally, I can stretch my muscles. I'm almost suffocating from training every day! It's time to take the soldiers out for a walk, otherwise they will get bored at home."

"Old Chang!"

The Chief of Staff said seriously, "We can't be careless, this is our first battle!"

"Don't worry, we have worked together for many years, you know what kind of person I am," Chang Xingwang said, patting the chief of staff on the shoulder, "the main goal is to win in a stable manner."
