After Shenchi County was taken down, Han Ling didn't send the First Regiment back to Shuozhou. Instead, he continued to send his troops south.
Han Ling had also heard about the news of Yan Baichuan mobilizing his troops to return.
He knew that Yan Baichuan had brought back the elite troops of the Jinsui Army.
His original plan was to take Shuozhou and then march west to take Yulin, the important town in northern Shaanxi.
However, it seemed that they had to first devour the troops that Yan Baichuan had transferred back. Otherwise, how could they keep harassing them from the side?
Other than the 12th Regiment staying in Shuozhou and two battalions staying in Shanyin County and Ying County, the rest of the troops followed Han Ling south to Shenchi County.
At the same time, they took down Ningwu County and Xuejiawa.
Other than a few policemen, there were no other security guards or regular soldiers in these two places. They had no strength to resist the Pingyuan Army.
..........................
1930, June 5th, Han Ling arrived at Shenchi County with tens of thousands of soldiers.
Meanwhile, Lu Yinglin's 44th Division was also stationed in Duan Castle.
He was eyeing Ningwu County like a tiger eyeing its prey, but he also knew that once he wanted to take Ningwu County, the Pingyuan Army would definitely send reinforcements from Shenchi County.
Therefore, they could only wait there.
When Yan Baichuan learned that Shenchi County and Ningwu County had been taken down by the Pingyuan Army, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
Lu Yinglin's 44th Division might not be able to handle it alone.
Although there was still a brigade on the way.
But even if this regiment arrived, there were only about 20,000 people, much less the Pingyuan Army.
After that, Yan Baichuan transferred another two infantry divisions from the front line, and nearly 30,000 people returned to Shanxi.
Feng Yu and Xiang did not say anything after they found out.
Because he knew that the Pingyuan Army was attacking Yan Baichuan's lair.
Therefore, after Yan Baichuan transferred the troops, he transferred three cavalry divisions from his hometown, the northwest, to supplement them.
It couldn't be helped. The traffic from the northwest was very inconvenient.
During the late Qing Dynasty, the most important part of the railway construction was in the eastern region.
The most famous one was the Jinpu railway.
This railway, which started from Tianjin in the north and ended at Pukou on the Yangtze River in the south, was more than 1,000 kilometers long. It could be said to be the most important railway transportation line in this era.
Their battle with Jiang's army was centered around this railway line.
On the contrary, there was almost no railway transportation line from the northwest to Shandong.
Therefore, if they wanted to quickly mobilize troops, they could only mobilize cavalry.
..............
Feng Yu and Xiang knew about Yan Baichuan transferring troops from the front line.
Han Ling knows, and unfortunately, our chairman knows too.
Nanjing Leader's Mansion
"Principal, I have received news that Yan Baichuan has transferred three infantry divisions and one infantry brigade from Shandong.
More than 50,000 people returned to Shanxi.
Han Ling, who was in Suiyuan, had brazenly sent troops some time ago and launched an attack on Yan Baichuan from Datong, the gateway to the northern part of Shanxi.
They had been heading south and had already reached the Shenchi and Ningwu regions of Shuozhou.
There, Yan Baichuan only had one infantry division to defend.”
Dai Li, a graduate of Huangpu Sixth. He was now standing in front of the chairman.
"As expected! Another new warlord had appeared!”
The chairman sighed.
After Han Ling rejected his offer, he felt that Han Ling was an ambitious person.
And the facts proved that it was true. How long had it been?
Han Ling began to rise in Suiyuan. He already had tens of thousands of troops under him.
Although these tens of thousands of troops were not many.
Didn't the current warlords start with tens of thousands of people?
Moreover, these military groups were currently engaged in an intense battle.
Han Ling suddenly appeared with tens of thousands of people and attacked Yan Baichuan's empty rear.
When the war ended, Han Ling would probably have a large piece of territory.
When they had territory and population, would they be afraid of not having enough soldiers?
"Commissioner, do we need to rope them in or cooperate with them in name?”
Dai Li asked cautiously.
"No need! It seemed that Han Ling had already made a plan. He had already predicted that our military groups would start fighting, so he had been waiting for an opportunity.
Now that we're fighting, he's taking the opportunity to expand his influence.
What a talent!
What a pity! Such a talent always wanted to be a warlord, making the government's decrees unable to be passed down!”
When the chairman said this, he felt a little sad.
Why did the country fall apart?
It was because of the selfishness of these warlords, which was why he insisted on eliminating them.
............
"We don't have to do anything?"
Dai Li asked cautiously again.
He felt that this was an opportunity, no matter what kind of ambition Han Ling had.
But the enemy of the enemy was his ally.
Now, they could totally ally with Han Ling and let him attack Yan Baichuan and Feng Yu Xiang's rear.
"No need! Even if we didn't ask Han Ling, he would have done it.”
Of course, the chairman wouldn't send anyone to look for him.
He had his pride and dignity.
Han Ling's firm rejection last time was already a slap in the face.
How could he still look for her at this time?
Although the face of a politician was not worth much, the chairman believed that even if he did not look for him, he would not be able to do so.
Han Ling would do it for his own ambitions.
.................................
On June 6th, 1930, Han Ling began to mobilize the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and Heavy Artillery Regiments to Ningwu County.
His goal was clear: the 44th Division in the Duan Castle.
"Master, we have received intelligence that this afternoon, the Pingyuan Army has sent nearly 20,000 troops to Ningwu County. According to our estimations, their target is our 44th Division!”
