"Marshal!"
A young man wearing a blue military uniform with a colonel on his shoulder stood in front of Han Ling with a hint of joy on his face.
And next to this colonel was a person with the rank of colonel on his shoulder.
These two were the regiment commanders of the fourth regiment, Zheng Daxing, and the fifth regiment, Wang Chenggang.
Both of them were real humans, not clone soldiers.
These two were also farmers a few months ago, standard farmers.
After that, they performed very well in the recruit camp. After carefully observing them for a period of time, Instructor Clone felt that they were military geniuses.
He could be considered a grassroots genius.
Then, he reported the two of them to Han Ling.
Han Ling was still a little stunned after receiving the news.
He didn't expect that he could recruit such a person at Gui Sui.
If Han Ling thought about the red in the future, he would know.
Most of the generals in the red were educated. Many of them had either graduated from military schools or gone to military schools for further studies. There was nothing much to say about this.
However, those regiment commanders and division commanders below him…
However, many of them were born in the countryside.
These people had never attended military school, but where was his talent?
Although he could not command hundreds of thousands or even millions of battles.
However, they were more than enough to form a regiment, a division, or an army.
However, they had trained for many years.
Zheng Daxing and Wang Chenggang had this talent now. However, he still lacked practice.
After that, Han Ling trained the two of them for a period of time, and then asked the clone soldiers to focus on training the two of them.
When the 4th and 5th regiments were officially formed, the two of them were appointed by Han Ling as the regiment commanders of the 4th and 5th regiments respectively!
......................
"En! This battle was not bad, but at the beginning, we still didn't show the momentum of our Pingyuan Army.
After the two of you go down, hold a summary meeting and gather all the officers above the company commander.
Let's summarize our experience together and strive to play to our best level the next time we fight!”
Han Ling looked at the two and said.
It was already quite impressive for them to be able to fight like this in their first battle.
Moreover, they hadn't been training for long.
"Yes, sir! Marshal!"
"Alright! Don't talk so much. Come into the city with me!”
"Yes, sir!"
.....................
Just now, the 4th and 5th regiments charged in after blasting open the city gate.
The combat strength of the Jinsui security soldiers inside was really not good.
In less than an hour, the entire Shanyin County was taken down.
As for the security guards of the Jinsui Army, they naturally surrendered.
Wherever the 4th and 5th regiments passed, countless security guards raised their weapons.
Just like that, Shanyin County City fell.
Shanyin County, which Yan Baichuan had placed his hopes on, was taken down just like that.
Han Ling and a group of officers began to enter the city.
..
There was not much intense fighting in Shanyin County. The security guards of the Jinsui Army surrendered without firing a shot.
Therefore, there were no signs of destruction in Shanyin County.
A few hours after Han Ling entered the city, it was around five in the afternoon.
Three regiments sent telegrams.
Ying County had already been conquered.
It was now in the hands of the Pingyuan Army.
Han Ling was not surprised by this result.
These security guards were too weak to resist the attack of the clone infantry.
Han Ling was not surprised, but someone else was. Who was this person?
That was naturally Yan Baichuan.
Taiyuan, Shanxi
"What did you say? Shanyin County and Ying County had been taken down by the Pingyuan Army in just one day?”
Yan Baichuan looked at Zhao Daiwen with a pair of eyes.
"Not bad! Shanyin County and its influence were now in the hands of the Pingyuan Army. I think they will immediately head south to Shuozhou.”
When Zhao Daiwen knew that the Pingyuan Army was heading south to Shanyin County and Ying County, he had already guessed that the Pingyuan Army's target was Shuozhou.
Otherwise, why would they attack Shanyin County and Ying County?
"Where is Lu Yinglin's 44th Division? How long before we reach Shuozhou?"
Yan Baichuan felt that this was an unlucky year.
In the battle on the Jinpu line, his Jinsui army had also suffered losses in the battle against the central army.
Now, a small warlord had emerged from Suiyuan, but he still couldn't stop him. He felt extremely frustrated.
"Lu Yinglin only moved a few days ago and entered Shanxi yesterday afternoon.
I estimate that it will take another two days to reach Shuozhou.”
Zhao Daiwen said slowly.
"Two more days? Looks like time is a little tight!"
Yan Baichuan could not help but frown.
Within two days, Han Ling's Pingyuan Army had taken down Shanyin County and Ying County.
He estimated that he would not go south to Shuozhou today.
However, it was very likely that they would go south to Shuozhou tomorrow.
The distance from Shanyin County to Shuozhou City was about 40 kilometers.
Even if they were to march on foot, it would only take about half a day.
In other words, the Pingyuan Army would arrive at Shuozhou around tomorrow afternoon.
Now, Shuozhou City only had one battalion.
How could they resist the attack of the Pingyuan Army?
If they had at least a regiment, they could still be the Pingyuan Army for an afternoon. If they had the 44th Division speed up, they might still be able to reach Shuozhou by the time the city was breached.
But the problem was that Shuozhou only had one battalion, and they probably wouldn't be able to stop even a single charge from the Pingyuan Army.
............
"Baichuan! We can only give up on Shuozhou. Which battalion from Shuozhou would also be transferred back to Ningwu County?
Besides, I don't think Lu Yinglin's 44th Division can defeat Han Ling's Pingyuan Army.
I think we should still transfer troops back from the front line. Moreover, we are not thinking about how to destroy the Pingyuan Army, but how to stop it.
We only need to stop the Pingyuan Army. You must know that our enemy is Jiang's army, not Han Ling's Pingyuan Army!”
Zhao Daiwen's words woke him up.
Only then did Yan Baichuan realize that he had made a mistake from the beginning.
Since they couldn't destroy the Pingyuan Army in a short time, they might as well stop him first.
After getting rid of Jiang's army, we can talk about the problem of eliminating Pingyuan's army. He was about to put the cart before the horse.
"Ci Long Gong! Bai Chuan understood! I will transfer another brigade from the front line. Lu Yinglin's 44th Division will be split into two, along with a brigade I'll transfer from the front line. They will be stationed in Shenchi, Ningwu, and Xuejiawa.
They formed a triangular formation.
At that time, if Han Ling wanted to take down this place, it would probably not be possible with just his tens of thousands of people!”
Yan Baichuan knew the terrain of Shanxi very well.
Now that he was talking about defense, he immediately thought of the triangular terrain here.
Furthermore, this was a main road to the south of Shuozhou. As long as they blocked this road, it would be difficult for the Pingyuan Army to go south.
Unless the Pingyuan Army turned back and crossed the mountains from the southeast to reach Dai County.
However, he heard that their troops had heavy artillery and a large number of supply vehicles. It probably wouldn't be easy.
