In February 1983, the snow that covered Jiuyuan Province for the whole winter began to melt and everything revived. Although the air was still cold, the hardworking residents no longer began to go out of their homes like they did a month ago, preparing to reclaim the land and prepare for the upcoming spring plowing.

The provincial garrison troops of Jiuyuan Province, which had been silent all winter, began to be frequently mobilized. The garrisons in the north and east of Jiuyuan Province were transferred to the front line of fighting against the Nanchuan Army, and a large amount of food and supplies were also transported to the military camps of Jiuquhe.

The scouts of the Dynasty army wearing a fiery red cloak also began to appear frequently in Fenglinkou area on the frontier of the Nanchuan army. Although they were soon expelled by the Nanchuan scouts, the smoke of gunpowder in the air began to spread.

On February 5, Lin Chuan held an emergency military meeting.

More than 20 people attended the military meeting, including commanders, chiefs of staff, chiefs of staff, chiefs of staff, chiefs of staff, chiefs of sergeants, chiefs of staff, chiefs of sergeants, and other small conference rooms in the Heishan Town Office.

The officers all had excited expressions on their faces. They had already learned from various channels that the war was about to go. Before the meeting began, the officers had already begun to whisper and discuss, speculating on the main direction of the attack this time.

The system of Nanchuan Army attaching importance to military merits made officers and soldiers eager for war, because war means wealth.

Soon, Corps Commander Lin Chuan and Chief of Staff Li Yunshan walked into the conference room together.

With the sound of standing attentive salutes, the officers straightened up and paid tribute to their General.

"Everyone, please sit down." Lin Chuan stretched out his hands and pressed down.

Everyone sat down neatly and held their breath to wait for Lin Chuan's orders. Seeing the crowds of generals, Lin Chuan also had a smile on his face. After nearly a year of development, the First Corps had developed so strongly.

Lin Chuan first read out the order from the Nanchuan Army Command of Mucheng, formally agreed to Lin Chuan's request to form the Fourth Banner Regiment and the Fifth Cavalry Banner Regiment, and agreed to the appointment of the officers.

Although Mu Xue and Wu Jingdu have become commanders of the flag regiment, it is another matter to obtain approval from Mucheng. Lin Chuan personally wore the eagle emblem symbolizing the commander of the flag regiment.

"Your Excellency Muxue, Your Excellency Wu Jing, please take the oath to the battle flag." Lin Chuan said loudly after wearing the eagle emblem for them.

Mu Xue and Wu Jing both clenched their fists with their right hands, raised them high above their heads, and swore to the black battle flag: "We will always remember our mission, be loyal! Be brave! We will obey our orders! Obey our commanders! Be an excellent flag regiment commander."

With their oath, Lin Chuan's First Corps was declared to have once again grown, with a force of 50,000, which is unique among the various troops of the Nanchuan Army.

Lin Chuan then read out the combat orders of the Nanchuan Army Command to the First Corps. As the strength of the First Corps increased, the task of the First Corps for the First Corps became even more arduous.

The commander-in-chief required the First Corps to capture the entire Jiuyuan Province as quickly as possible, and to create a safe and stable rear for the Nanchuan Army.

"General, just give orders. The soldiers of our First Flag Regiment have already screamed."

Ye Fei, commander of the Second Flag Regiment, also smiled and said, "We have been looking forward to killing Jiuqu River all day long."

Although the war has not yet begun, the scouts of both sides have been inseparable from the open spaces of hundreds of miles between the two sides.

After hearing the order from the commander, the chief of staff frowned and said, "General, with our strength, now, if we want to conquer the entire Jiuyuan Province, is it a little weaker?"

"Sir, have you forgotten that we three flag regiments beat you two garrisons to the point of urination. Now we are strong and strong, even if we break through Jiuyuan City in one fell swoop."

The generals around were sighing, and Chief of Staff Li Yunshan was very embarrassed. He was the loser of any battle. However, he still reminded him: "The previous two times were lucky, and it was better to make steady progress."

As soon as the chief of staff said this, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the officers. What is luck? It is all about defeating on the battlefield with real swords and guns.

Since entering Jiuyuan Province, the First Corps has been smooth sailing in war. It defeated Jiuyuan Iron Cavalry, which was known as the invincible in the world, twice in a row, so a sense of pride and arrogance arises in the army. No one can hear the warning from the chief of staff.

"The chief of staff is right. We must take steady steps in this attack. Never advance alone to avoid suffering losses." Lin Chuan also reminded.

The generals nodded and said yes. As for whether they listened or not, Lin Chuan was unknown.

On February 6, the Linchuan Corps set out from Heishan Town in three directions and attacked northward.

Lin Chuan personally led the First Banner Regiment, the Cavalry Banner Regiment, the Corps directly under the baggage team, and the Corps directly under the Guards as the middle route, attacking north along the provincial highway, with the goal of defeating the dynasty garrison arranged on the Jiuqu River line.

The second flag regiment led by Ye Fei was the left wing. Their mission was to eliminate all dynasty garrisons west of Custer City and support the central troops.

The third flag regiment led by Feng Qingyang was the right-wing troops. Their main combat target was the eastern line of Jiuqu River, crossing the river from the lower reaches of Jiuqu River, attacking the city of Korok, and forcing the dynasty garrison troops deployed in Jiuqu River to return to defense.

Due to the importance of the Heishan iron mine area, the newly formed Fourth Blood Flag Group did not participate in the attack sequence to enter the north. They were responsible for staying in Heishan Town, where the most important iron mine area is not lost.

The snow had just melted and the road was muddy, but the various units of the Nanchuan Army were in high morale and advanced very quickly.

The information about the attack of the Nanchuan Army was soon placed on the desk of Nagaro, the governor of Jiuyuan Province. Seeing the Nanchuan Army attacking in three directions, the governor Nagaro showed a sneer. He was thinking about how to eliminate the rebels, but he did not expect the rebels to come to him.

In the winter just passed, Governor Nagala had already drawn 30,000 garrison troops from the northern part of the province to move south. Now the troops gathered in the provincial capital have exceeded 50,000. In addition to the troops arranged on the front line of Jiuquhe River, the troops controlled by Governor Nagala are no weaker than the Nanchuan army.

As a strong province in the north, Jiuyuan Province has more than 30 cities of all sizes and sizes, with an astonishing garrison force of 60,000. In addition to the special plain terrain of Jiuyuan Province, it also has a powerful cavalry unit. Therefore, it is precisely because of such strong strength that the Governor Nagaro was able to sit firmly in the position of the Governor of the Province for more than ten years.
