Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Tao Yunong thought that even if 30,000 troops from the Dwarf Locust Kingdom joined the battlefield, it would not change the situation on the battlefield.

Fang Jian thought differently from Tao Yunong. These small locust countries were not intended to deal with the Nanshan Army, but were used by the northern government to deal with the new army in the south.

Moreover, when the dwarf locust army entered the interior of the New Country, Chang Yunxian really did not have the courage to go to war with them.

Therefore, the intervention of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom has more deterrence than practical significance. Of course, the Dwarf Locust Kingdom will also join the war when necessary, but it is unknown whether the opponent dares to fight with it.

Fang Jian looked at Tao Yunong and said, "Yunong, you must pay close attention to this army of the Little Locust Nation."

"Yes, Commander." Seeing that there were no other instructions, Tao Yunong went down to assign tasks to the Intelligence Department.

On the front line, after the Second Division launched an artillery attack, although the Northern and Southern armies suffered heavy losses and many of their bunkers were destroyed, most of the heavy machine guns in the bunkers were intact and many machine gunners and loaders survived.

The commander of the 311th Division and the commanders of the 72nd and 71st Divisions came out of the anti-artillery cave and saw the devastation on the battlefield. They all looked unhappy.

At this time, several officers came to the three division commanders and conveyed the orders of their respective commanders. The orders were naturally to ask them to intensify the attack and capture the Nanshan Army position as soon as possible.

The commander of the 311th Division looked at the commanders of the 72nd and 71st Divisions and said, "You two, organize your troops immediately and continue to attack the Nanshan Army's position."

"Okay." The commanders of the 72nd and 71st divisions had no objections.

Half an hour later, the North-South Allied Forces launched a fierce attack on the Nanshan Army's last position.

While the fierce fighting was going on on the battlefield, the garrison division commander Jiang Xuanqi led 18,000 officers and soldiers of the garrison division into Xinyuan City.

Seeing Jiang Xuanqi, Fang Ji'an smiled and said, "Xuanqi, you've had a hard time along the way. Is Nanling City safe?"

"Report to the commander, everything is safe in Nanling City." Jiang Xuanqi replied.

There are still 300,000 newly recruited reserve soldiers in Nanling City. Although the training time is not long, it is enough to ensure the safety of the hinterland of Nanshan Province.

Moreover, after three years of development, the number of police officers in Nanshan Province has increased greatly. There are thousands of police officers in Nanling City alone, and they have all undergone rigorous military training.

Fang Jian asked again: "Where is the armored division? When will the information reach the source?"

"Commander, the armored division should have entered Fenglin and should be able to reach Xinyuan tonight," Jiang Xuanqi replied.

Because the Tiger II heavy tank traveled much slower than the truck, the T-34 tank also reduced its speed and traveled slower, so the armored division set out earlier than the garrison division, but still entered the signal source later than the garrison division.

It is worth mentioning that the defect of the King Tiger heavy tank, which was very high fuel consumption, was improved through Zhong Yuchen's research.

Zhong Yuchen optimized the engine of the King Tiger heavy tank to reduce fuel consumption, and also made some improvements to the armor to make its performance even stronger.

Fang Jian naturally knew that the Tiger II heavy tanks did not travel very fast, so he felt relieved since the 2nd Armored Division could reach Xinyuan tonight.

After letting Jiang Xuanqi go down to rest, Fang Jian looked at Tao Yunong and asked, "Yunong, where is the Seventh Division?"

"Commander, the Seventh Division has entered the Jieshan territory and should be able to reach Xinyuan tonight," Tao Yunong introduced.

Fang Jian couldn't help but smile. Xinyuan had the Garrison Division, the Seventh Division, the Second Division, and the Second Armored Division, totaling more than 70,000 people. Not only could they defend Xinyuan without any problems, they could also launch a counterattack against the North-South coalition forces from Xinyuan.

"Yu Nong, send a message to Li Zhongwu, tell him not to put too much pressure on the frontline soldiers. Reinforcements will arrive at Xinyuan tonight, and the 201st Regiment on the battlefield can evacuate at any time."

After listening to Fang Jian's instructions, Tao Yunong responded and went to convey the order.

Even after receiving the order to retreat from the division headquarters, the commander of the 201st Regiment, Zhao Zhang, still led the 201st Regiment to hold its position until nightfall.

After nightfall, Li Zhongwu sent someone to tell Zhao Zhang to retreat.

"Captain Zhao, the division commander has issued a strict order for your troops to retreat immediately."

Under the stern gaze of the herald officer, Zhao Zhang smiled awkwardly: "Okay, I will lead the soldiers of the 201st Regiment to retreat immediately."

The herald officers could also understand Zhao Zhang. In their opinion, the longer the 201st Regiment held its position, the less pressure they would face when facing an attack from the North-South Allied Forces.

After Zhao Zhang conveyed the order, each unit quickly packed up supplies and prepared to retreat.

An hour later, the regiment's chief of staff came to Zhao Zhang and reported: "Commander, all units have been packed up and can withdraw from the position at any time."

"Retreat." Although Zhao Zhang was unwilling, he still gritted his teeth and ordered to withdraw from the battlefield.

At the same time as the 201st Regiment retreated, the th Division and the nd Armored Division also arrived outside the west city of Xinyuan. They did not enter the city, but stationed outside the city.

When Fang Jian received the news, he was very happy and asked someone to call Tao Yunong.

"Yu Nong, tell all the troops to get ready. At the same time, send a message to Wang Hu, asking them to keep a close eye on the situation at the several garrisons of the North-South Allied Forces."

"If there is still no movement in the rear positions of the North-South Allied Forces by tomorrow afternoon, let Fang Guoxuan and Cai Tingwu attack the rear positions of the North-South Allied Forces."

"Yes, Commander." Tao Yunong said seriously.

As the war approached, a murderous atmosphere spread, filling the hearts of soldiers from all units of the Nanshan Army with tension.

After a night, early the next morning, all the units began to take action.

When they woke up in the morning, the North-South Allied Forces found that the fourth front was empty. After some of them entered the position, they found that the Nanshan Army had already evacuated.

After receiving the report, the commander of the 311th Division showed joy on his face, finally opening up the fourth line.

God knows how many troops the Northern and Southern Allied Forces lost in order to open up these four fronts.

While having breakfast, Chang Yunxian and Wu Peisheng both learned the news, which naturally made them happy again.

After breakfast, Chang Yunxian and Wu Peisheng went to a high place to overlook the entire front line and the front and rear army garrisons.

Chang Yunxian said: "Let the front-line troops dismantle the third line, and move the front army station forward."

"Where is the rear army?" Wu Peisheng asked.

Chang Yunxian was a little hesitant. He hesitated for a moment as to whether to move the rear army position forward immediately.

It’s not that Chang Yun discovered something first, but how the Southern and Northern armies would set up their camps once the rear army moved forward.

As the rear army moved forward, the woods on both sides became tighter and the space inside was limited. Naturally, it was not as easy as before to set up camps for the two armies.

After thinking for a while, Chang Yunxian made a decision: "When the third position is demolished, the front army will move forward. After the third position is demolished, let the rear army move forward."

"Okay." Wu Peisheng also agreed to this arrangement.

The rear army's advance naturally required some preparation. After the two men conveyed the order, the rear army had already moved camp and made preparations.

Early this morning, Fang Guoxuan and Cai Tingwu's troops came from Xuan County and Pan County and hid ten miles away from the North-South Allied Forces, ready to be on standby at any time and prepared to attack.

When the North-South Allied Forces began to move out of camp, Wang Hu immediately passed the news to Fang Jian.

At the Xinyuan County Command, after receiving the news, Fang Jianan said excitedly, "Okay, let Fang Guoxuan and Cai Tingwu move forward three kilometers."

"At the same time, have the Seventh Division, the Garrison Division, and the Second Armored Division enter Xinyuan City, and have some of them enter the positions outside the East City and await further arrangements."
