Chapter 273
Guo Lang did not execute the captured officers of the Dongjiang Army who were screened out, especially for He Shuxiao, and he did not give him too much trouble.
This is also what Lin Hongfei meant. He is still in the circle of the old Beiyang. Anyway, He Taikang is also an old man of the Wan family, and now he has voted for the direct family.
If this kills his own son, I'm afraid it will attract a lot of criticism.
Saving his life may also be used to blackmail He Taikang in the future, forcing him to leave Lingnan Province voluntarily and give up the position of the warlord.
At the same time, at the junction of Jiangbei and Lingxi, the fake soldiers sent by He Shuxiao disguised as bandits were just about to attack a village when they were beaten up by the soldiers of the [-]th Division who were ambushing in the village and fled in all directions.
The Dongjiang army that He Taikang had painstakingly managed for many years was completely wiped out at this moment, and he no longer had the capital to compete with Lin Hongfei.
As for the Zhensong Army who was cited by him as foreign aid and went to Huaishui County, it also fell into the fierce offensive of the [-]th Division like a wave.
Originally, after the Zhensong Army arrived near Huaishui County, they did not launch an attack immediately, but stationed in place and waited and watched.
However, when several spies came back to report the news, Chai Yuteng, the leader of the Zhensong Army, learned that Huaishui County was helping the victims from western Henan, eating thick porridge three times a day.
This made Chai Yuteng a little restless, how rich Jiangbei must be to spend such a large amount of money to help the victims from the west of Henan. If he occupies a piece of land in Jiangbei, wouldn't he be prosperous!
Therefore, Chai Yuteng immediately overturned his original decision and immediately ordered troops to attack Huaishui County!
If it is said that Guo Lang cleaned up the Dongjiang army, he did a sneak attack at night, blossomed in the center, and surrounded on all sides.
Then Zhou Meng, the deputy brigade commander of the 161st brigade who led troops to guard Huaishui County this time, used an upright frontal attack method to directly defeat the Zhensong army with a crushing posture.
Moreover, it is indeed in line with reality to say that it is crushing.
4 Renault tanks lined up, with machine guns sweeping and muzzle blasting, followed by a pistol company. This youthful version of the infantry and tank coordination directly stunned the Zhensong army.
After the Zhensong army lost one-third of its manpower, it withdrew from Jiangbei in embarrassment. Chai Yuteng, the leader of the army, was completely frightened. On the way to escape, Chai Yuteng had already made up his mind that He Taikang must compensate him The loss of this expedition.
If He Taikang dared to renege, hehe, he couldn't beat the Jiangbei Army, so he couldn't beat He Taikang!
However, Chai Yuteng didn't know that he had no chance to ask He Taikang for compensation, because He Taikang himself couldn't protect himself!
The news of the annihilation of the Dongjiang Army in Huaishui County spread to Dongjiang City as if it had wings.
Immediately, the morale of the Dongjiang Army left behind was in turmoil, and the local forces in Dongjiang City also had a faint tendency to stir up trouble.
Immediately afterwards, another big news came out.
General Lin Hongfei, the guardian of Jiangbei, led the army of the [-]th Division to Dongjiang!
For a while, the entire Dongjiang City became a mess.
The Dongjiang army was annihilated, the life and death of his son He Shuxiao was uncertain, and Lin Hongfei was coming in menacingly. Faced with these crises, He Taikang became sober.
He knows that everything can be messed up at this time, but the morale of the army and the people must not be messed up.
Otherwise, before Lin Hongfei rushed to Dongjiang, he would be expelled from Lingnan Province by those local gentry in Dongjiang.
At that time, I will not even have the chance to negotiate conditions with Lin Hongfei and ask for the benefits of leaving the field.
Wanting to understand this, He Taikang immediately called the editor-in-chief of "Lingnan Provincial Daily" to the Governor's Mansion.
The next day, the headline on the front page of the "Lingnan Provincial Daily" had a few big black characters standing out:
"Lin's thieves burned, killed, looted and attacked Dongjiang. Dongjiang's soldiers and people are dedicated to defending their hometown against the enemy!"
"Lin Hongfei is also a thief, and his Lin family army is also a bandit. He burns, kills, loots, and commits all kinds of crimes. Our soldiers and people in Dongjiang are incompatible with these bandits..."
After this manuscript was sent out, it really had some effect, and some foolish people were really deceived.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that He Taikang is at his wit's end, and he can only rely on this method to stabilize the morale of the army as much as possible.
Immediately afterwards, on the third day, "Lingnan Provincial Daily" made another headline on the front page:
"The bandits of the Lin family have arrived in Cangnan County, and our Dongjiang army and civilians will not give up an inch of land!"
The third day: "The bandit army of the Lin family has appeared in Beihuang County, this place will be the place where the bandits will be buried!"
The fourth day: "The thieves have entered Niitou Mountain!"
Day [-]: "The bandits of the Lin family have burned, killed and looted, and they have come to Nanhechuan!"
Day [-]: "Although Lin Hongfei is marching fast, he will never set foot in Dongjiang City!"
Day [-]: "Lin Hongfei's troops are approaching Dongjiang City."
The eighth day: "General Lin Yunsheng arrived at Dongjiang City with his victorious troops!"
Ninth day: "Officer Lin Yunsheng enters Dongjiang City, and the people in the city are eating pots of pulp. We sincerely welcome you!"
Day [-]: "Shuai Yun has entered the governor's mansion, and the people of Dongjiang are all cheering to welcome Lingnan's parents and officials!"
In the Governor's Mansion of Lingnan Province, Lin Hongfei flipped through the newspapers of the "Lingnan Provincial Daily" for the past ten days, a little speechless and amused.
"Yun Shuai, this Lingnan Provincial Newspaper is too outrageous, it dares to scold you in the newspaper, I will lead someone to ban Lingnan Provincial Newspaper!" Li Kui asked the adjutant.
Lin Hongfei closed the newspaper, smiled and waved his hands and said, "Forget it, what's the point of competing with these sour literati."
"But this group of people scolded me, I really have to deal with them!"
"In this way, you tell the people of Lingnan Provincial Daily that within a year, they will praise me Lin Hongfei in different ways every day."
"The content of boasting can't be similar, it's different every day."
"If I see any similarities, Lingnan Provincial Newspapers will be banned immediately, and all newspaper staff will be expelled from Lingnan Province."
"Can't these people write?"
"Then I'll let them write enough!"
Two days ago, Lin Hongfei led the Jiangbei Army to Dongjiang City. Facing the menacing Jiangbei Army at this time, the soldiers defending the city had no intention of fighting and opened the city gate without even firing their guns.
Immediately afterwards, a group of local gentry, who had been prepared for a long time, came out and invited Lin Hongfei into the city with smiles and respect.
But He Taikang did not show up in public, he has been hiding in the office in the governor's mansion, waiting for Lin Hongfei's arrival.
At this point, He Taikang was not so flustered, the failure was irretrievable, and he was calm instead.
Not long after, a group of Jiangbei Army soldiers poured into the room, pointing their guns at He Taikang one by one, and Lin Hongfei walked in with a smile in the next second.
"Mr. He, long time no see!" Lin Hongfei smiled.
He Taikang also heaved a sigh of relief, and after a few wry smiles, he finally said slowly: "Young people are awesome!"
