Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

The Nanshan Army's ambush on Feng Zhangshan's troops failed, so they chose to attack by force. Naturally, they would not drag their feet and quickly reached the designated location and surrounded Feng Zhangshan.

Before Feng's army could react, the Nanshan army launched an artillery attack.

This time Feng Zhangshan went all out, with three armies, four divisions, and 130,000 men. But the Nanshan Army on the other side had eight infantry divisions and one armored division, with more men than them.

The reason why there were only eight infantry divisions was because Fang Guoxuan left one division to guard Zhang Jun’s prisoners.

After the bombardment, the Feng army's position was in a mess due to the lack of cover. Without giving them time to react and make arrangements, the Nanshan army immediately rushed up.

Facing the fierce Nanshan Army, although Feng's army also showed its fierce side, they were defeated under the powerful firepower of the Nanshan Army.

Fang Guoxuan deployed armored forces behind Feng's army to prevent them from escaping.

As for the other three sides, the Nanshan Army has more people than Feng’s Army, is better equipped, and has more elite soldiers. Fang Guoxuan is not worried that the infantry attack will not go smoothly.

Upon receiving the news of the continuous retreat at the front line, Feng Zhangshan did not panic, but instead remained very calm.

He had been defeated once at the hands of the Nanshan Army, and he was well aware of the Nanshan Army's combat effectiveness.

Although he had long expected to lose this battle, he was still unwilling to accept the defeat. He wanted to hold out against the Nanshan Army for at least one day.

However, after most of the day's fierce fighting, the Nanshan Army still broke into the position.

The commander of the 52nd Army with some of his cronies retreated to Feng Zhangshan and said, "General, retreat."

"Oh." Looking up at Sun Yunliang, Feng Zhangshan sighed, and then followed him to lead the army to retreat.

Seeing Feng's army retreating, most of the Nanshan army immediately pursued them. There were still some Feng's army in the encirclement, so the Nanshan army left some people behind to continue to suppress them or capture prisoners.

Before Feng Zhangshan and his men had retreated far, they were attacked by tanks of the Nanshan Army. Under the tank charge, Feng's army was defeated.

The Nanshan Army entered the stage of capturing prisoners again.

The officers of the First War Zone were not surprised at the defeat of Feng Zhangshan's troops. They would have been surprised if they let them escape.

The battle was not over until the evening and the battlefield was cleaned up.

In this battle, 642 enemies were killed and 2677 prisoners were captured. 168 Daxin XI-type guns, light machine guns and heavy machine guns were seized.

After the last battle, Fang Guoxuan immediately arranged troops to take over the five northern provinces.

In the five provinces, there is no official force except for local militia and police. Of course, there are still private armed forces and bandits.

Of course, these people can't make any waves in front of the Nanshan Army.

After sending troops to occupy these places, the Nanshan Army still had a lot to do, such as maintaining public order, restoring people's livelihood, pacifying the people, recruiting soldiers, etc.

The most important thing is that the Spring Festival is coming soon. This year’s Spring Festival is on February 2th, and February 16th is New Year’s Eve.

The army cannot take a holiday this year, so these senior officers still have to come to Nanling to celebrate the New Year, which is also equivalent to relaxing.

On February 2, the Second War Zone surrounded Yun Zhizhou's troops in Jiyang Province and annihilated them. At this point, all the southern warlords were eliminated.

In the commander-in-chief's residence in Jin'an City, Jinchang Province, Chang Yunxian was sitting in the hall with a decadent look on his face.

Chen Xiuqing walked into the mansion and sighed softly when he saw Chang Yunxian like this. Not to mention Chang Yunxian, even he was in a bad mood and not in a good mood.

The Southern Army had already experienced a defeat, and this time all its elite troops were lost. The Nanshan Army will be even stronger, so how can its development be suppressed?

"Commander, victory and defeat are common in the military. You should cheer up and regroup." Chen Xiuqing couldn't help but advise.

Chang Yunxian sneered and said, "Regroup? Now that our army has been defeated, and there is only a large area left, doesn't that give all parties an opportunity to take action?"

Chang Yunxian was about to continue speaking when an officer from the Communications Office ran in with a look of panic.

"You are so flustered. How disgraceful." Seeing this, Chang Yunxian said unhappily.

After the visitor apologized, he did not forget the main business and said directly: "Commander, it's bad. I just received news that during this period of time, not only our army, but other forces have also been defeated one by one by the Nanshan Army."

"Other forces? What are they?" Chang Yunxian said disapprovingly.

The forces from the north and the south have united, with an army of more than 1.5 million. No matter how strong the Nanshan Army is, what can it do in the face of so many forces?

"What?"

The visitor told all the news of the defeat of various forces and the details of the battle, which immediately made Chang Yunxian and Chen Xiuqing exclaim at the same time. Both of them had incredible expressions on their faces.

How is it possible that the Nanshan Army had such great ambition and courage to swallow up an army of more than one million?

This news shocked both of them. Only then did they realize what kind of existence they had been fighting against before.

After a moment, Chang Yunxian couldn't help but shook his head in self-mockery. Compared with the Nanshan Army's performance, their Southern Army was far behind. If the Southern Army really had such combat power, they would have unified the new country long ago.

Chen Xiuqing on the other side was the opposite. He was full of fighting spirit and there was light in his eyes.

Chen Xiuqing looked at Chang Yunxian and said, "Commander, the Nanshan Army was also trained. Now that our army has just been defeated, we should train a new army."

"What can we do even if we train a new army?" Chang Yunxian shook his head. At this moment, he had lost confidence.

Chen Xiuqing continued to persuade him: "Commander, the Nanshan Army has only been developing for three years. They have achieved what they have today with only one province. We have seven provinces, so can't we do better?"

"The area of ​​seven provinces?" Chang Yun just smiled first, and Chen Xiuqing also smiled awkwardly, naturally understanding what he meant.

The Southern New Army is said to have seven provinces, but it was previously divided into three independent factions, and now there are two of them running in parallel. There are only four provinces that are actually in Chang Yunxian's hands.

After a moment of silence, Chen Xiuqing said again: "Commander, we not only have land in four provinces, but our location is also better than that in Nanshan, and it is more suitable for development."

After hearing this, Chang Yunxian regained some of his spirits.

"After this battle, the Nanshan Army will inevitably consume the results of this battle, which will leave us enough time to develop." Chen Xiuqing said again.

"After digesting the results of this battle, it will definitely attack us again. If we can't seize the opportunity, I'm afraid we can only rely on Nanshan for survival."

Chang Yun first stood up and said through gritted teeth: "Yes, if the Nanshan Army can do it, we can do it too."

"Xiu Qing, I'll leave the matter of training the army to you."

"Commander, don't worry, I will never let you down." Chen Xiuqing promised.

Just as the two men regained their fighting spirit, the aide-de-camp Yu Liangwen walked into the hall and said solemnly: "Commander, it's not good. The Nanshan Army has occupied the three provinces of Jiyang, Zhuyang, and Jiangnan."

"What?" Upon hearing the news, the fighting spirit that had just been restored in the two men disappeared again.

Chang Yun first looked at Chen Xiuqing and asked, "Xiuqing, the Nanshan Army will not directly unify the South, right?"

"Of course not. If they occupy too much territory at one time, there will definitely be internal problems. The Nanshan Army will definitely stop and digest the results of the battle." After thinking for a moment, Chen Xiuqing's eyes slowly regained their spirit and he said firmly.
