After the celebration dinner, all the soldiers went to rest.

Han Ling also went to rest.

From the next day, Pingyuan Army entered a rare rest time, and now it has been almost a month since it was out to fight.

It's also good to give the soldiers some rest.

Not to mention that there is a big battle waiting for them later.

Nanjing, leader's residence

"Principal! We have received information. Yesterday, the Pingyuan Army defeated the Third Army of the Jinsui Army in less than a day. Eat about 20,000 of their troops, and only more than 10,000 people ran away! Now the Pingyuan Army is repairing Yuanping, and it is estimated that they will launch another attack soon and take down Xinzhou in one go."

Dai Li stood respectfully in front of the chairman and reported the latest information he received.

"In less than a day? Defeat an army?"

After hearing this, the chairman couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Even the Central Army cannot defeat an army in less than a day, and the troops are still under similar strength.

"Apart from this, is there any other information?"

The chairman asked after reacting from his meditation.

Dai Li knew what the Chairman meant.

If you defeat an army in less than a day, you will ask about weapons and equipment.

"We don't know the specific configuration of their army, but we have received information that they have heavy artillery of 105 caliber or above!"

"Where did they come from with caliber 105 or above? Western countries will not sell such artillery to us. Could it be that they produced it themselves?"

The Chairman kept guessing where.

What he cared about was not the heavy artillery, but the source of the heavy artillery. Who was behind him supporting Pingyuan Army?

In a short period of time, he pulled up a unit of tens of thousands of people.

Even things like heavy artillery have been made.

You know, the Central Army did not have heavy artillery at this time!

"Forget it! Go down and continue to inquire about all the news related to Pingyuan Army! Whenever there is news about Pingyuan Army, report it to me immediately!"

"Yes! Principal!"

June 18, 1930!

After a day of repair, Pingyuan's army began to advance towards Xinzhou.

This time they will take Xinzhou in one go.

And now Xinzhou is not a remnant of the Third Army of the Jinsui Army.

There are also Taiyuan guards here.

This time Yan Baichuan had no choice but to send all the troops in Taiyuan out.

The Taiyuan Guards with more than 20,000 people, plus more than 10,000 people from the remnants of the Third Army, a total of about 40,000 troops defended Xinzhou.

Although Pingyuan's army had only a little over 40,000, Han Ling was not afraid at all.

Order the troops to continue the attack.

If they don’t eat Yan Baichuan’s more than 40,000 troops, they will act later, so they may come to interfere with them.

Originally, my original combat plan was to attack westward after conquering Shuozhou and seize the important town of Shaanxi - Yulin.

Now, because of the changes in the battle situation, we have to continue to attack south.

In the afternoon, after a day of march, Pingyuan Army felt the city of Xinzhou.

This time, Wang Jingguo changed his strategy and no longer set up defensive positions outside the city, but directly contracted his troops into the city.

Because Wang Jingguo also knew that in terms of field combat capabilities, the Pingyuan Army was not as powerful as the Jinsui Army.

Last time, one regiment attacked two regiments in Yongxing Village. What was the final result?

It was actually because our side could not stop the attack of others' group.

From these Wang Jingguo, we knew that Pingyuan Army had strong field combat capabilities. Since this is the case, he naturally would not place his troops outside the city.

And the most important thing is that if the troops are placed in the city, the Pingyuan Army's artillery advantage will not be exerted.

This is the most important point.

Pingyuan Army's artillery was too sharp. With the help of reconnaissance balloons, their accuracy reached a shocking level.

"It seems that Wang Jingguo is really good at it! The last time he was defeated in the field, he contracted all his troops into the city this time."

Han Ling was watching the defense of Xinzhou City with a telescope at a place outside Xinzhou City. While watching, he chuckled.

"Master! Our situation is not easy now! They have contracted the troops into the city, and our heavy artillery will probably not be able to play to their advantages!"

Huang Kelin looked at it, and then said with some concern after reading it.

"Haha! From my opinion! Wang Jingguo's move is a mistake in one move!"

Han Ling's idea is different from Huang Kelin.

"Look! Now Taiyuan has no troops, and now only Wang Jingguo has more than 40,000 people in his hands.

And they all contracted into the city, which gave us a chance.

If we send a small force around Xinzhou and go straight to Taiyuan, what would you think Yan Baichuan react?"

Han Ling looked at Huang Klin and chuckled.

"If that were the case, Yan Baichuan would definitely let Wang Jingguo return to Taiyuan immediately!"

Huang Kelin responded.

"Not bad! As long as he, Wang Jingguo, sends troops out of the city, we will attack the city and intercept his troops. There will definitely be unstable morale in the Jinsui army.

By then, we will be in sight of victory.

Moreover, the Shanxi-Suizhou Army is fighting fiercely with the chairman in the front, and the Northwest Army is also in short supply.

This time, Yan Baichuan drew about 50,000 troops from the front line to return. This has made their front line very tight.

If Feng, Yu and Xiang had not been led by the Northwest Army, the front line would have been in danger of collapse.

So now Yan Baichuan will no longer draw from the front line, and Feng, Yu, Xiang will no longer agree to wipe Yan Baichuan, butt, and hell. Now we can say that we have plenty of time!"

On June 18th, Pingyuan's army did nothing on the day of arrival and was resting. He did not launch an attack on this day.

And Wang Jingguo was also waiting.

The longer the Pingyuan army dragged it, the happier Wang Jingguo became.

Now Yan Baichuan is recruiting soldiers in Taiyuan urgently, hoping to train and get onto the battlefield.

At the same time, he also hopes that the battle with Chiang’s army can end as soon as possible or gain an advantage.

In this way, he can draw his troops from the front line and come back.

On the morning of June 19th, Pingyuanjun made an action.

At six:30 in the morning, the balloons began to rise.

At the same time, a regiment of troops began to quietly leave the base and head towards Taiyuan with light equipment.

Their purpose is very clear, which is to sneak attack Taiyuan, which has no troops now.

Here, people were sent to attack Taiyuan, but the battle in Xinzhou began.

The first thing that started was also artillery, but it was not heavy artillery, but field artillery of each regiment.

Although the power of heavy artillery is very powerful, the effect of bombing the city with heavy artillery is also very obvious.
Chapter completed!
