When Fang Guoxuan led his troops to rush to the command center, they found that the defenses here were very lax and were completely not on the same level as those at the city gate.

They rushed all the way to the garrison without encountering much resistance. The first company attacked the headquarters, and the second company attacked the military camp next to it.

Just as they were about to attack the headquarters, an officer came out. He saw Fang Guoxuan and asked in confusion, "Which unit are you from?"

Although the soldiers behind Fang Guoxuan were all wearing German uniforms, Fang Guoxuan was wearing the same uniform as him, which made him subconsciously think that they were one of their own.

"Boom."

After Fang Guoxuan killed him with one shot, he continued to shoot, killing the guard at the door, and then shouted: "Follow me in."

The resistance in the military camp was quite fierce, but the soldiers in the command center were somewhat disappointing. They had no idea that they were being attacked, and many of them were killed in the surprise attack by the soldiers who rushed in.

The gunshots were getting closer, and Zhang Shengwu became even more dissatisfied: "What are these guys doing? They can't even do a small thing."

Then, he suddenly felt a little nervous and stood up instinctively. Before he could do anything else, he was surrounded by a group of soldiers who rushed in.

"Brother, which unit are you from? Don't get me wrong, I am under the command of General Ma." Seeing that this group of people came with ill intentions, Zhang Shengwu held back his temper and spoke softly.

The chief of staff raised his hands with great insight. He knew that this group of people were definitely not his own people. The gunshots just now were clearly the noise made by the other side trying to capture the city.

After catching Zhang Shengwu, Fang Guoxuan waved his hand and had someone take him away.

This time, the city was captured simply because the enemy was too weak and did not demonstrate the combat effectiveness of their army at all.

Faced with such a poorly armed army, Fang Guoxuan felt that if he ignored the casualties of the soldiers, 3,000 men could fight a bloody battle against 30,000 enemies.

Fang Guoxuan quickly led his soldiers to support the second company next to him and attacked the barracks together. After meeting up with Xie Yuan, more than 20 soldiers were sacrificed and the barracks were captured.

At the same time, the city gate was also controlled, and Fang Guoxuan led his troops to take control of the temporary hospital outside the city.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have captured a county town and received a bonus infantry company."

Fang Jian was very happy to hear about the system reward. This meant that Xing County had been completely occupied.

After Fang Jian entered the city, Fang Guoxuan reported: "Commander, we have captured Xing County, killed 352 people in total, captured 417 people, and captured Zhang Shengwu alive."

"Since Zhang Shengwu is in the city, why are there only more than 700 troops?" Fang Jian was also very surprised to hear that Zhang Shengwu was captured alive.

Fang Guoxuan introduced: "According to his chief of staff, Zhang Shengwu sent a total of four regiments, 7,000 people."

"Four regiments took turns to fight, and a thousand people died in the battle. There were also a thousand seriously injured outside the city. Zhang Shengwu was stationed in Xing County with a remnant regiment, and the remaining 4,000 people were still confronting at the front line."

The enemy only had 4,000 men left, and they didn't even have a supreme commander. Francis Xavier was more confident that his 5,000 men could annihilate this force.

Fang Guoxuan introduced mysteriously: "Commander, we also seized a radio station."

"Radio?"

The period of Diyuan Star is similar to the early Republic of China on Blue Star, but it is still a little behind. At present, there are few radio stations in the country, and only the division-level troops in the army are equipped with radio stations, and even some division-level troops do not have radio stations.

There were even fewer telephones. There was not even a telegraph office in Xinyuan County. It was so backward.

Of course, Fang Ji'an is not interested in these. As long as he has money, these devices can be exchanged in the system. The items exchanged by the system are of much better quality than those of this era.

During this expedition, more than 1,600 prisoners were captured, and it was impossible to recruit them for the time being.

Fang Jian was more confident in the troops he recruited and trained. These warlord troops not only had various bad habits, but also had lax military discipline and were prone to dragging down the team.

Of course, it is impossible to release it, so it can only be used for construction.

At dawn the next day, Li Zhongwu's Second Guard Regiment and Zhang Wei's First Revolutionary Army Regiment launched an attack on Zhang Shengwu's position on the front line.

Both troops carried mountain cannons. The mountain cannon exchanged by Francis Xavier had a range of 8300 meters and a damage radius of about 15 meters.

The troops of Zhang Wei and Li Zhongwu first used artillery attacks, and only after a round of artillery fire on the enemy's defense line did they allow the infantry to attack.

When the two positions were bombarded, someone in the headquarters of Zhu Yaoxiang's two regiments asked in confusion: "Who is attacking the opposing troops?"

"No matter whose troops they are, as long as they attack the opposing troops, it's a good thing." said another person.

These two people were the commanders of Zhu Yaoxiang’s front-line troops and the heads of two regiments.

The man who asked the question first said: "Then we should also send a troop to attack Zhang Shengwu's troops?"

"Let's do it. Try to attack first and see how the situation goes." Another person gritted his teeth and said.

After making the decision, the two organized two battalions and began to slowly approach the enemy troops in front.

The commander of the regiment in the south that was attacked by Zhang Wei immediately asked for help from the troops next to him. The commander of the regiment in the middle was also very confused. The regiment in the north had just sent people to ask for help, and he had not yet decided which regiment to send troops to rescue.

Just as he was struggling, a soldier ran in in a panic: "Captain, it's bad, the enemy has started to attack."

"What?" The commander of the middle unit stood up in surprise.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. The other side was attacking from three sides, and they were going to encircle and annihilate them here.

He immediately ordered: "Let the vanguard troops resist for a while, and the main force will immediately withdraw and rush back to Xing County."

After fighting here for more than three days, the losses were unbearable for him, and the enemy's tenacious resistance frightened him. Moreover, enemies appeared on both flanks, and he could not figure out the enemy's situation, which would only make his losses more severe.

The best way now is to return to Xing County, defend Xing County, and then find out where the enemies on the flank are from before making a decision.

In Zhu Yaoxiang's position command post, a soldier ran into the command post and said, "Captain, the enemy on the opposite side has retreated."

"Retreat?" After hearing this report, the two looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened.

One person said, "After we occupy the enemy's forward position, we should hold on until we understand the situation."

The other person also nodded and agreed.

Their mission was to hold Zhang Shengwu back. There was no need to take risks, and it would not be a pity to let the enemy go. If it was a trap, the loss would be huge.

On Zhang Shengwu's side, the remaining two captains learned from their subordinates that all their friends in the middle lane had retreated, and both of them were so angry that they cursed.

This guy is such a jerk that he ran away first. They also wanted to run, but they were already attacked by the enemy. If they wanted to retreat now, they could only abandon their troops.

Li Zhongwu's troops had more men, better soldiers, and more automatic weapons than Zhang Wei's regiment, and they broke into the enemy's position faster.
