Lijiazhuang. In the War Department, Shang Wu disposed of some reports in his hand while eating. Most of them are technical problems, Shangwu acts as a technical consultant for the arsenal, Shangwu does not have many patents, but most of them are very critical things, and many things still need the innovation ability of craftsmen to carry out. There aren't many things that Shangwu can do to help with this.

"Sir. Drink. Little Snot poured a bowl of water for Shang Wu. Glasses and other things are still very valuable, and most of them are export goods, so they can be regarded as exchanging a large amount of "foreign exchange" for the base area. "Therefore, Shangwu drinks water and eats in large thick bowls. None of them have such privileges.

"Hmm." Shang Wu looked at a small snot. He now has his own name, which is Li Bida. What is the surname of Little Snot, I don't know, because he never knows what his last name is. However, when he chose his surname, he wanted to have the same surname as Shangwu. Shangwu refused. Because it's not very good for him. Shang Wu told him that there were many more surnames, and there was no need for him to choose this way. He had a choice, and Shangwu suggested that his surname be Lee. Because this is his home, and it is also his new beginning. In this way, little snot has its own surname. In terms of names, the ancients liked to use single-word names during this period, and the name of Shangwu belongs to the strangeness of strange, and it seems that the name of Shangwu has been destined for this.

There is a certain homonym with the nose. Sangwu didn't want him to forget his past. However, he didn't like Li Bi's name very much, he wanted a three-word name, and in desperation, Jia Xu added a word to him, da. Must-reach, there is the meaning that things must be reached.

"How's your academic performance?" Shangwu asked.

"Have you been studying hard lately?" Shang Wu looked at it, and Li Bida asked.

"Learned. I've already finished some of my lessons early. Li Bida replied. It seems that his brain is very smart, he learns things very quickly, very hard. Because he wanted to go to military school. Learning knowledge, this is the only way to get into a military school. He's a big age for kids his age. In order to catch up and surpass, Li Bida would spare seven or eight hours a day to study, because there was a light here in the war department, and he often sat in a corner to learn knowledge, and would not ask the staff officers. Or stay and record it and ask the teacher intensively, he is the hardest one, and the hardest one.

"Hmm. Still want to be a soldier? Exam for military school? Shang Wu asked.

"Hmm. I'm going to be a soldier. Li Bida replied.

"Well, you have ambitions, I don't interfere, and I can't control it. That's your ideal, but what I want to say is that we may have to build a new country, and this country needs to be built in its entirety. So, I still hope you will think about it seriously. Shang Wu said.

"Nope. I'm just going to be a soldier. Li Bida replied. Li Bida's temper is very good. For example, if he can't understand something, he would rather not sleep by himself, but he must understand it. Or maybe you can think alone. The personality is very independent and stubborn, for example, the things he decides are difficult to change. Sangmu had a headache about this. But he was not reluctant, because he knew that what this child experienced was something that no one else could understand. In the base area, there are still many children like Li Bida, whose childhood was spent in the dark, I don't know what will happen to them? Whether the teachers at the school will pay attention to them.

"Okay. Can you understand these things? Shang Wu thought about it and then handed a report to Li Bida.

"Does this have anything to do with fighting?" Li Bida asked.

"Yes. And it's also very dangerous, these things, more powerful than three infantry divisions. If it comes out, no amount of troops will be of any use. Shang Wu said.

"Oh." When Li Bida heard this, he quickly pounced, even if he couldn't understand it. Shang Wu gave the other party a large number of chemical formulas, and Li Bida could only understand a few, but there was still a way to go if he wanted to understand everything. But he's the kind of guy who doesn't give up until he gets his goal, and he's the kind of guy who is well suited to scientific research rather than going to war. That's what Shangwu thinks.

Li Bida took the report and left. He didn't notice Jia Xu's arrival at all, the outside world had nothing to do with him, and all his attention was on the report.

"What did you give him? I can't take care of anything. This kid. Too single-minded. Don't let him do this, it could be a problem. Jia Xu came in and said worriedly.

"Oh. It's okay, I just gave him a report. Let him study and study on his own, it's a pity that people like him don't study science. Shang Wu said.

"He's the one who wants to fight." Jia Xu said. He knew that the child was stubborn.

"yes. I know that there are scientists among the soldiers, and there are also people who study related engineering projects, and he is also considered a military personnel and a soldier. Anyway, there are many, many people who will need this in the future, and this is not something we can help them solve all at once. Shang Wu said.

"Okay. I know, you are very uneasy about this child, in your words, the war, destroyed the childhood of these children, but did not destroy the imagination of this child, you want to save him. Is that right? Jia Xu asked.

"Yes. I can't help it, I can feel the pessimism in this child, depressed, maybe studying something, diverting attention can allow him to solve such a thing, what do you think? Shang Wu asked Jia Xu,

"Okay. You may be right, I don't interfere with these things. Jia Xu said.

"However, you should be sure of the specific military operation. Li Tie had already come several times, and so had Yang Lin, and they looked very anxious. Even though their troops are fighting little by little, they are also stuck on some points. But it is difficult to delay military action. Jia Xu said worriedly.

"I'm also in a hurry, but it's useless to be anxious, the front line lacks enough intelligence support, we can't move troops at will, otherwise, one more infantry division will not be enough. On Xu Dou's side, their reconnaissance intelligence and various intelligence summaries are all in progress, and there is no way to mobilize them without intelligence. Shang Wu said helplessly. This is indeed the case, what kind of situation is the other side, in this regard, Shangwu is very lacking, which leads to Shangwu's decision not to easily mobilize troops to attack.

"Well, you're right, and in a situation like this, you convinced me." Jia Xu said.

"Don't worry, I've sent a communications team there. First, so that they can report the situation over there in a timely manner, and second, we need to send a lot of information to them in a timely manner, so that they can carry out research, so that we can alleviate a lot of things, and our side mainly responds to some situations on the battlefield. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. Hopefully, they will be able to find out about this in a timely manner. In this way, it can be regarded as solving a big problem. Shang Wu said. Sangmu decided to let it go in this matter. Let them take bold action to solve such problems, because in the future, Shangwu will not be able to personally command all the wars, in that case, he will be exhausted to death. At the same time, because the things he focuses on are too focused, it is impossible for him to know too much, too many things, which is not good for him.

The headquarters of the independent brigade, they have entered the northern theater of operations, but they are still on the edge, and the troops cannot act without authorization, which makes Pei Yuanshao anxious.

"I said, what does this chief mean, let us go to war, but otherwise we will attack, this, isn't this suffocating people?" Pei Yuanshao said anxiously.

"Lao Pei. Don't worry, I understand your feelings, but this war is not a problem that can be solved by rushing out all at once. Zhou Cang said.

"I know, I know. But we can't just wait like that, don't you hear? Those militias fought hard. We can only attack one company at a time. Fuck, what is this? A company went to battle. I. I can't hold it back. Pei Yuanshao said anxiously.

"I said Li Tie, you are the chief of staff, why don't you speak." Pei Yuanshao said to Li Tie. And Li Tie was lying on the map and constantly studied, and there were detailed places and non-detailed places on the map. And there's a lot of information scattered around him, and it looks like he's busy.

"Lao Pei, you go out for a walk." Zhou Cang stood up and persuaded.

"I don't turn around, it's his chief of staff to make a plan for this war, let's not go out to fight, I think, eighty percent of his chief of staff does a bad job, otherwise, why don't we attack, we don't want to attack if we don't fight." Is this possible? Pei Yuanshao said.

"Lao Zhou, come and see, I found that these Black Mountain thieves still have certain characteristics." At this time, Li Tie put down the map and said.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Cang suddenly pounced and asked.

"You see, most of their strongholds are in the mountainous areas, that is, the eastern border of Taihang Mountain, if they leave the mountainous areas, their situation will become very unfavorable, if our troops can directly block their access to the mountainous areas, and at the same time continue to advance from the north to the south, I think, this matter can basically be solved." Li Tie said.

"You mean, ah-yo block the way for the other side to retreat, and then fight them on the plains?" Zhou Cang asked.

"Yes. The commander's meaning is very clear is to concentrate forces to fight a war of annihilation, because only by fighting a war of annihilation can we hurt them and let them know that we are powerful, if they are expelled, it will not mean much at all, they will come repeatedly, and this Taihang Mountain Range provides them with a great advantage, which is extremely unfavorable to us. Under such circumstances, I believe that the commander does not want to see such a situation happen, so the only best way is to concentrate on fighting a war of annihilation. Li Tie said.

"Hmm." Zhou Cang nodded, feeling that the above meant this.

"However, there is one situation that we should pay attention to, that is, the situation we should face is a little different, that is, we must eat too many troops this time, and we must also penetrate the enemy's rear as much as possible, we don't know how many troops the enemy has. There is a lack of intelligence. Li Tie said worriedly.

"Hey, I thought there was a good plan. Big gasp. You don't know how to fight for a long time. Pei Yuanshao listened to this for a long time.

"Lao Pei." Zhou Cang looked at Zhou Cang and said.

"Alright. All right. I went out for a spin and gasped for air. Pei Yuanshao left with his hands behind his back. He found it boring to be there.

Huguan, 3rd Infantry Division, Division Headquarters.

"This is the telegram?" Ma Heng and many staff officers watched the telegraph machine and said this.

"Yes. Sir, this is it, but it still needs to be connected to the cable, which has not been erected yet. A lieutenant colonel officer said. He was in charge of transmitting the telegraph and taught to use.

"What? This thing doesn't work yet? Ma Heng asked in surprise.

"Yes, sir. However, this will have to wait for the arrival of the cable. The lieutenant colonel replied.

"Oh. What line? Ma Heng asked.

"The cable is equivalent to the channel, which is connected here and there, so that the construction of a channel is completed. They'll be able to connect and communicate quickly. The lieutenant colonel explained.

"What are you doing there? Hurry up and connect the channel. Ma Heng said anxiously. Originally, he thought he could see how the telegram worked. But now it seems that the effort was completely in vain.

"Sir, someone has already gone. Moreover, it will take almost two days for it to be erected. The other party said.

"Oh. I'll give you a company, no, the strength of an infantry battalion, you can get it for me, so let's go, a few of you go with people quickly, get it done, don't wait a day or two. I can't wait. You all go and see what you can do, and you can help. Let's hurry up and get this thing right. Ma Heng said.

"Yes. Sir. The staff officers said. Ma Heng and his staff really couldn't wait. None of them knew what kind of thing the telegram was, and now they saw it. But it can't be used yet, although they still have to wait for two days, but these two days, they feel that it is difficult to withstand it, they decide to do it themselves in advance, anyway, no matter what. So they started sending a lot of people out to help set up the cables, so that their situation could be much better. This can be regarded as a huge encouragement for them, after all, it is still very painful to wait patiently for two days.

Especially Ma Heng, he can only look at the telegraph, but he doesn't know how to use this thing, doesn't this make him tickle in his heart? He is more anxious than anyone else, and this is the same reason that children wear new clothes for the New Year. I'm in a hurry.
