Giant deer.

Zhu Jun was carefully studying the combat situation between the Republican Army and the Montenegrin Army. Although Zhu Jun's troops were the smallest, the two warring sides never seemed to look at them squarely. Because in this region, the strength of the officer army is the weakest. There is a large management vacuum in many areas. The loss of the two strongest forces led to the evil consequences here, they lost most of their troops, and at the same time lost most of the control of the region, and many counties lacked direct and effective protection, which led to the rapid rise of the Montenegrin army, and at the same time annihilated a large number of government management forces. All of a sudden, there was a huge vacancy in the power of the government. This situation made Zhu Jun feel very powerless.

At present, the official army can only huddle in a large city like Julu for defense. There is simply no way to access those areas. But fortunately, their reconnaissance and intelligence work can barely be carried out, and he can still learn some information about many situations.

"General, this is the latest battle report." A Sima carefully handed over an updated battle report, and then withdrew. Zhu Jun looked at those battle reports and thought about some situations on the battlefield.

The latest war reports show that the IRA has begun military action. One of their 4th Infantry Divisions, plus a separate brigade, has already begun operations. The combined strength of the three brigades exceeded more than 27,000 people, and in that area, the core force of the Black Mountain Bandits was Yang Fengbu. Their actual strength may have exceeded 30,000 men. The strength is still relatively large, but if calculated according to combat effectiveness, Yang Fengbu will not be able to resist the crazy blow of the Republican Army at all.

What Zhu Jun has to consider is how the Republican Army will annihilate Yang Fengbu of the Montenegrin Army.

According to Zhu Jun's understanding of the Republican Army, the defeat was not terrible, but the terrible thing was not to admit defeat, and he did not conduct a detailed investigation of the past situation and did not seriously sum it up. Zhu Jun and Cao Cao had a certain correspondence. In the letter, he learned about the combat methods of the Republican Army from the side, and the Republican Army's research on combat experience is quite considerable, and they will seriously summarize a lot of combat experience, in contrast, they must also do this, after all, only by doing so can their situation become much better.

Based on his own understanding of the Republican Army, Zhu Jun believed that the Republican Army would adopt two bold offensive tactics that were different from any previous troops, and that they might encircle each other, and that the direction of the assault should be on both flanks of the battlefield. For example, they will attack from the places on the battlefield that they think are the most difficult to attack. For example, an attack was launched from the mountainous area of the Taihang Mountains. From the plains, Yang Fengbu was directly cut off from the other Black Mountain bandits.

Another tactic is the interspersed tactic that once caused serious damage to the Northern Army, which is very chaotic. Because you can't figure out where the other side is going to attack. It seems that the IRA is not a regular force. They will boldly carry out roundabouts, especially their company and platoon tactics, squad and platoon tactics, they only have a few people, and they dare to launch a roundabout attack in the face of a few hundred troops, in short, they give you the feeling that you simply cannot command your troops to establish a stable defensive line, because the enemy will attack from all kinds of places, and you have to be careful with your flanks, and behind, because there are often enemies there. This tactic made the Northern Army suffer very much, because they always did not understand the situation, they actually only had a few people, but they played with the offensive momentum that hundreds of people should have. The Northern Army was often defeated in such an offensive situation, and this was for them. This is extremely disadvantageous.

Zhu Jun kept swinging some small chips on the map. Those are the results of deduction. It is said that the staff officers of the IRA Military Academy are studying such a course. Most of the staff officers of the Republican Army are promoted from the grassroots level, and their combat qualities have great potential, but it is still not easy for them to learn such things at once.

"General, this is news from the Republican Army." A soldier carefully handed over a letter. Zhu Jun took it carefully and looked at it carefully. The letter is written by Shang Wu. Zhu Jun looked laborious, because the words on the letter were very small. Although the traditional Chinese characters are converted from ancient scripts, the situation of writing is somewhat different, Shangwu writes in regular script, while the current official font is regular script, and the Republican Army uniformly uses regular script, for no other reason, because their commander teaches that. Although teachers like Hu Zhao also teach official books. However, most of the students still use regular script. This results in the coexistence of official script and regular script. It may not seem like there is much difference between the two, but in reality, there is still a big difference.

"The Republican Army commander writes well, but the content of the letter is too ordinary." Zhu Jun said. Shang Wu's handwriting is fluent. Because this requires speeding up the writing, Shangwu knows that the other party is a literate person, so he slows down the speed, but when such characters are written, the strokes are a little stiff. It looks strong-willed and at the same time has a bit of slickness. This may seem contradictory, but it is not.

The content of the letter was related to the conditions, that is, the Julu side provided tariff convenience, relaxed the restrictions on merchants, and allowed merchants to trade on a large scale. Promote bilateral trade. It seems that there are not many other demands from the IRA side than this. Zhu Jun felt very confused, even worried, he was worried that in such a situation, the Republican Army might get more things, what kind of intentions did they have? This made Zhu Jun very puzzled. He felt that the IRA had a grand plan. Probably the target they are going to attack is also very large. In such a situation, it is actually difficult to deal with many situations.

Handan. A decision to demolish the city walls began to get the people of Handan to talk about it.

"It's good that the wall was demolished. Look at it, when has this Handan City been so lively. A Handan man said proudly.

"That's it, that's it. In this bazaar, everything is sold. The Handan man smiled and said to a passing businessman.

Handan is indeed developed. Almost overnight, a large number of bazaars developed here. Because the bazaar can get tax revenue, increase the government's revenue. Huge trade transactions will meet the various needs of the government and contribute greatly to the increase of fiscal revenue, so no one will refuse such a situation to oppose such a thing. This is why Handan people have begun to become proud.

Here, you can buy a lot of things you need. There are three kinds of currency circulating here, copper coins, which are relatively small, because a large number of copper resources have been concentrated by the Republican Army to solve some military problems. The other is the red ticket, which is the most mainstream currency in the market, but it can only be circulated in the base area. There is also gold and silver, which are mainly used for commodity trading. Those commodities are mainly traded in arms, copper ore, grain, iron ore, and that kind of trading volume is quite large.

However, the most traded food in the market is grain. There are official prices for grain and prices for privately purchased food.

Official prices are concentrated in the futures market, where only a very large number of traders can trade. There are still some small merchants in the market who trade goods. They are mainly aimed at some ordinary people. Large-scale grain imports have stimulated the surrounding areas, where grain is purchased at a higher price. Grain is concentrated here.

The IRA buys food for two purposes, first, reserves, and the Northern War caused the IRA to consume more food, which requires them to solve more problems to solve such a situation. Stockpiling food is the best way to deal with war.

The other is some commodity processing plants. The grain they process is not only for the military, but also for civilian use, and they can concentrate on producing more flour, as well as making good food to sell, which has a relatively long shelf life and can be stored for a longer period of time. This is also one of the current exports of the IRA.

Bazaars have also been established more and more. The former city wall has now become a market, there is a carriage and horse market, and the logistics and transportation of the republican army are all transported by civilian use, and many people make a lot of money in this area, so more and more people are joining the transportation industry. Cattle, horses, and vehicles are all produced there intensively. There are also some cast-iron cars on the market, of course. Cast iron cars are not made entirely of cast iron, but only cast iron parts are used in some key parts. And for the first time, they used bearings that were only used by the military, which made the vehicles even more numerous. It runs more smoothly. However, most of the vehicles at this time were two-wheelers. There are no four-wheelers.

Because the road situation in most areas has not improved much, even the Republican Army, which has been building roads, cannot guarantee the use of four-wheeled vehicles in more areas.

Unicycles also use such parts. Their wheels are safer because they are all made of cast iron, which makes them look thicker, and you can carry more stuff as long as you have the strength.

However, for the people in the base area, they are most willing to buy cattle, seeds, and farm tools. Because it was related to their production, some people gave up farming, they entered the transportation industry, some people entered the construction industry, they were building bridges and roads, and some people entered the factories, and the land was concentrated in the hands of a few people in disguise. They were the early plantation owners.
