Hedong, inside the headquarters of Ma Heng. The latest situation on the Hexi front will be known by telegram. In order to ensure timely communication, Ma Heng expanded their communications battalion. The communications battalion was expanded to the size of one regiment, and up to the west of the river, Ma placed two battalions of communications units in order to strengthen their advantage in controlling information in the west of the river.

After all, the speed of the cavalry is too fast, and whether it can keep in touch in time will be very important. It was precisely because of the reinforcement of the two communications battalions that Ma Heng and Li Jiazhuang, who were thousands of miles away, were able to understand the first situation on the battlefield in a timely manner. This has played a major role in their operational decision-making, and such a role will be guaranteed to reach a new stage in a timely manner.

The state of war had made their situation much more favourable. In such a situation, their pace of development will be much more favorable than they have ever been. If it was given to the imperial army, they would definitely not have achieved such a state. That's the best position for them.

"Sir, Lijiazhuang called, let us digest those herdsmen in time and manage them on the spot." Obviously, the operational staff officers were very worried, and this worry came from their suspicion of the local herdsmen, after all, they were Huns, and they did not know the specific situation of the Huns, but they could imagine what kind of impact the situation would have on them if they went behind enemy lines.

"Local management, but also the establishment of states?" Ma Heng said this after reading the telegram.

"Sir, this is too difficult. If those herdsmen rebel, the result will be very bad for us, they will cut off our logistical supplies, our retreat, and then the cavalry regiment will be very disadvantaged. I think it's better to kill them all, after all, they are Huns. The operational staff officer said.

"No, you can't. Since the sir had sent such a telegram, the meaning was already clear. It is to prevent us from killing indiscriminately like this, you and I both know that it is not good to kill indiscriminately like this, such a situation is for any situation. It's a huge loss, and in such a situation, if you are faced with such a situation, what will be the result? Our losses will be enormous. It's too much of a loss for us in such a situation. Ma Heng said this, Ma Heng can also know what will happen on the front line, or what kind of situation they will encounter, and in such a situation, the combat situation they want to do will be extremely favorable.

"Since the sir, with such a layer in mind, naturally hopes that we will develop in a favorable direction. Killing can solve the problem, but we should use our brains to think about it. This approach is too simplistic and crude. If it is solved in this way, thousands of miles, thousands of miles of grassland, can we kill them all? Such a thing is a manifestation of not using the brain. The chief's meaning is very clear, that is, to find a way to make them behave more normally. Ma Heng said.

The operational staff officers lowered their heads, in fact, most of the entire staff officers had such thoughts, because the hostile relationship between the two sides directly led them to regard the Huns as enemies, and all the Huns were enemies, and such an influence directly led to such an extremely simple and crude approach, which also affected the front line, the staff was like this, not to mention the front-line combat troops. Fortunately, Shangwu did not agree to do so. Killing can solve the problem, but after killing, how to solve it? This is not the solution at all.

"Tell the front line that if they do it, it's a no-brainer approach, and let them use their brains to solve such a problem." Ma Heng said. Ma Hengda battles, but the specific other situations still need to be considered by the front-line combat troops.

"Yes, sir." The operational staff officer said that this is a very difficult thing for them, but considering the specific situation, such a thing may only be solved in this way. After all, such a thing is related to the state of their future operations.

"Sir, there is only one cavalry regiment fighting on the front line, so the strength is still very thin, after all, it is very difficult for them to fight. A cavalry regiment, that is, more than 2,000 people, more than 2,000 people, shook the situation of most of the Huns, which is a very passive situation for us. The operational staff officer said.

"Well, I have also thought about such a situation, but we don't have that much cavalry in our hands at all, if I have three cavalry regiments, I will definitely form a cavalry division. But the problem is that we don't. No, you can't think about anything else. They still need to solve specific things on their own, understand? Ma Heng said helplessly. This is the disadvantage of the Republican army, they only have one cavalry regiment, if they want to use these two thousand newly trained cavalry to defeat the Huns, this is very unrealistic, and it may make some jokes.

But many times, they themselves are very helpless. After all, everyone knows what is going on with the Republican Army.

Hexi, in the area of operations of the Republican Army marked No. 3.

Zhang Xian came here with two infantry battalions, and they had to walk more than 50 miles almost a day, which was simply a kind of combat miracle. Such a speed of march meant that they had less time to rest. The physical exertion of a soldier is very high, and it is usually only used when they are interspersed with large-scale circuits. However, in order to ensure the logistical supply of the cavalry regiment and to be able to control the situation here in a timely manner, Zhang Xian decisively led the troops to advance rapidly on a large scale.

"Your infantry is about to keep up with our cavalry. It's a cow. A group of cavalry came over and gave a thumbs up to the infantry.

"Hehe, our infantry is originally cattle." A private with his nostrils turned upward. It seems that their infantry is born to be the best existence, there is a competitive relationship between the infantry and the cavalry, the cavalry is fast, and the infantry just don't believe this, the infantry advances quickly at an unbelievable speed, the road west of the river is difficult to advance, many soldiers run their boots and change another pair to keep up. But they wanted the cavalry to see how fast they could run and the infantry as fast as they could, and now they proved it.

The cavalry had nothing to say about it, they knew how these infantry came to run, their clothes were covered with sweat, their knapsacks were reduced to a minimum. In addition to weapons, ammunition, water, they seem to have thrown away all the dry food. In order to lose weight. They knew what the infantry was doing, which was to prove that they were fighting against the Huns, and they were not bad at all. Infantrymen, they did.

"The soldiers kept running, and the physical exertion was very great. This is not the way to go. One of the staff officers said with great concern that they themselves knew exactly what kind of situation they were encountering. The infantry kept up with the speed of the cavalry, but the price they paid was also very large, two battalions, at least two platoons of troops fell behind, and heavy equipment was not to be considered. They simply can't keep up with such a speed, the amount of ammunition carried is relatively small, and the point is, what they eat, use, they all discard. Many soldiers have a pair of shoes at most, because they are used for running, and the rest, at most, is a blanket, and many soldiers throw away their marching backpacks. In order to increase the speed. Once there is an injury, the situation is really unimaginable. The operational staff knows this all too well. At most, they can only hold out for a while, but if they want to continue fighting, they still need the support of logistical supplies.

"yes, I see. However, we don't have a good solution. Zhang Xian said that he followed closely with two battalions of infantry, which was a matter of support and prevention, after all, some things still need to be done by their infantry.

"Sir." At this moment, a lieutenant staff officer boldly stepped forward.

"What's the matter?" The staff officer asked the lieutenant.

"Sir, among the supplies handed over to us by the cavalry, there are a large number of horses, and we have seen those horses. Although they are all horses that can't run fast, and there are many foals and mares among them, such horses can support us to a large extent. The lieutenant said.

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense, we don't know how to ride, even if we learn, how can we learn it all at once, these horses are very troublesome to control, once the formation is disrupted, it will pose a great threat to us." The staff officer said.

"Let him finish." Zhang Xian waved his hand and asked the other party to finish saying such a thing.

"Sir, I mean that our infantry is advancing quickly on horseback, but dismounting to fight, in this way, we have the advantage of cavalry's rapid combat, and at the same time maintain our advantage over the infantry, as for the formation, I think, we can maintain the formation, and be on high alert, in this way, our speed and materials can be improved, which is good for us to maintain physical strength. It's a great benefit, sir, that such things can be done. In this way, what we can do will be much more advantageous. The lieutenant said.

"Well, you see, that's a very good suggestion, we don't have very high requirements for horses, as for learning. As long as we have stirrups, we can still do a very good thing, and in this way, it will be a great benefit to us. Zhang Xian said.
