The Republican Army is an army that is good at summarizing. This was Cao Ang's first impression of the Republican Army.

Like what. After the end of the battle against the north, the importance of various experiences began to be summed up at the time of reorganization.

And a large amount of information on the front line, after summarizing, will also be summarized to the military school. Many instructors from the front line, as well as those engaged in education, are involved in complex summarization activities. They have to learn from the shortcomings of the war, and give full play to what they are best at to solve problems, in short, many things that they cannot accomplish if they want to. These things are a challenge for them.

Cao Ang: They also had access to some basic summaries.

And these summaries are their assignments, and even, some of their graduation theses in the future. After all, many units accept a new officer based on his ability.

There are three major defeats in the battle against the state.

The first is that the local climate is not well understood. The season when the Republican Army entered the war coincided with the autumn rainy season. The impact of the autumn rains was significant, with non-combat attrition exceeding a third of the total. Plus the impact on the road. As a direct result, the operation was in an extremely unfavorable situation.

Second, for the situation of the local roads, although the Republican Army invented and creatively used horse-drawn carriages for propulsion, it was an effective way to compensate for the mobility of the army and improve the combat distance, which was a bright spot. But unfortunately, the local roads simply could not withstand such a situation, coupled with the bad weather conditions, directly led to them in an extremely unfavorable state, non-combat attrition, and affected the situation of logistics and supply, which is as bad as it is for the Republican Army, how unfavorable, anyway, such a thing, for them, is a disaster.

In the end, it's their command. The Wuhuan people were sporadically engaged in combat. However, the Republican Army has been passively and sporadically engaged in combat, and one can imagine how many serious consequences this situation will bring. The troops that were replenished were dismantled into companies and platoons, and even infantry squads were put into battle, which finally led to the entire front being in a trivial state. The opponent cannot attack. And the Republican side could not launch a counterattack. Stalemate is a rare bad battle in the Republican Army.

This is a summary of the general merger of state operations. There are a lot of problems that have come to light. The Republican Army needs to digest it slowly and sum up, anyway, there is still a lot of things to deal with.

Of course, this time the battle against the states is not all shortcomings, but also outstanding points.

For example, for the first time in this operation, large-scale horse-drawn carriages were used to transport troops. This greatly increased the infantry's mobility from the previous forty miles a day. All of a sudden, the combat distance has risen to 50 or even 60 miles, and the combat mobility has been greatly improved.

Moreover, many officers found that the use of horse-drawn carriages to deliver troops could greatly save the physical strength of soldiers, and soldiers could quickly get out of the car and go into battle during the battle. Because they were put into battle according to the squad structure.

The carriage, to a certain extent, solved the problem of the shortage of horses in the Republican army. Because previously they tried to conduct rapid maneuver combat by means of infantry on horseback. The use of horse-drawn carriages allowed the infantry not to be left far behind by the cavalry. That's a big plus.

However, for horse-drawn carriages, the military also has some research. In this battle, the army used some horse-drawn carts with small wheels, especially ox carts, which used small wheels. The price of the small ferry is cheap. It is suitable for the transportation of heavy goods. But the problem is, he doesn't have good off-road performance. It was advantageous for ox carts, but for the army, as well as in the absence of road conditions, ox carts were extremely bad, especially BMX carts. Therefore, the military wanted to be able to use the carriages of large wheel-wheeled vehicles for standard equipment.

In addition to vehicles, there are also roads. The IRA's supply lines relied heavily on these roads. Without these roads, it would be difficult for them to adapt to such a situation, which is a very disadvantageous situation for them. The combat situation has put them in a disadvantageous situation.

But the construction of roads is not a problem that can be solved by creating engineering regiments. This involves a question of post-war reconstruction. Because only by investing a lot of money can this problem be properly dealt with.

Here are some studies of the army itself. And in the folk. The invention of vehicles never stops.

Some daring craftsmen experimented with a special mode of transportation made of iron. For example, the chain transportation method, the chain was first used in machine tools, and it is a mechanical device used to maintain speed. But with the demand for agricultural equipment, chains are used in seeders, as well as harvesters.

In agriculture, manpower and animal power are still the largest export forces. Chains can increase the efficiency of this power output, which is an extremely advantageous way.

However, there are still some inconveniences in agricultural machinery, for example, on soft farmland, the wheels often cannot be pushed quickly. Bold craftsmen used serrations, as well as early track devices made of chains, to push, albeit with only two guide wheels. But some problems on agricultural machinery have been solved.

A kind of progress on these wheels. It's just the beginning, but sooner or later it's going to develop.

Other than that, it's on the means of transport. Horse-drawn carts and ox carts are still the most convenient places for people to travel. Or use a donkey cart. However, these vehicles are still not convenient for short distances. People need a way to be able to get the right distance, and it's too expensive to buy a vehicle. Cheap, it is better to use transport that is powered by itself.

This may be one of the earliest demands of bicycles, for example, in cities like Handan, where people always do not meet the needs of travel.

In Handan, such inventions have already appeared. The first was to put wheels under the soles of your feet. This is probably the earliest appearance of roller skates. But for the people of Handan, this kind of shoes still does not play much role.

First, the road requirements are too high. Some places that are not well maintained are not usable at all. Second. It's just that not all people can operate such a shoe. Because there have been newspapers reporting such shoes, many people have bought them, and as a result, more than a dozen people have broken bones, falls, and various accidents due to improper operation. Obviously, the small wheels under the soles of the shoes cannot meet the travel needs of Handan people.

So, in such a situation, another invention appeared. Early bikes. However, it may not be considered an execution car. Because this bicycle is made of wood, some of the connections are made of cast iron. There are no pedals and no chains. Wooden wheels are still used instead of iron wheels. Although with the handlebars, the front and rear wheels, the car drives. But there are no pedals. When used, it relies on the person's legs to push the ground to provide forward power. Only in the place of the hillside, it is more convenient to use. Plus it's bulky, and it doesn't feel too comfortable.

But this is a bold innovation after all. Moreover, the prospects for future development are very impressive, and it is said that some investors are already interested in such a small invention. This was an important key point in the development of the IRA bicycle. That's a pretty good foundation.

In short, there are many more impacts from the war, and many things have taken root.

There is even a mutual connection with each other, for example, the manufacture of the airship has a lot to do with the bicycle, the chain on the airship. There are also some special tubes used, which are extremely important components.

Jingshi, Luoyang.

Cao Cao is also paying attention to some research reports on the Republican Army, which seems to provide him with some ideas, ideas for strengthening the army, for example, better and providing more guarantees to make his army more powerful.

Many of the arguments are extremely new.

For example, in the past, most of the infantry's mobility was on foot, and they could travel 30 miles a day, which was already a very remarkable distance. But horse-drawn carts and ox-carts can greatly increase the combat distance of the infantry, and even, can keep up with the speed of the cavalry. This increases high mobility.

The most important thing is that the evolution of the mode of warfare is different.

Chariots were also used in the past, but chariots were not as agile as cavalry. Infantry is still infantry. But the infantry used horse-drawn carts to maneuver, and on horse-drawn carriages, the soldiers were also able to defend themselves, because they used firearms, which were carried out by shooting. This advantage is very large. Unlike in the past, in the carriage, once attacked, the infantry was basically in a very disadvantageous situation, because the weapons they used were different. Cold weapons need to rely on battle formations to maintain combat effectiveness.

But the problem is that the other side simply cannot achieve such a result, but the use of firearms can avoid such a problem. This problem has made their situation much more favorable. In such a situation, their advantage is still relatively large. This was also an important factor in the use of horse-drawn carriages in warfare.

It is possible that this will bring the obsolete tank units back into the combat sequence.

"Unfortunately, we don't need that at the moment, and we still need to add a certain amount of firepower. The problem of insufficient firepower remains acute. Xi Zhicai said.

Cao Cao nodded helplessly when he heard this. That's the most real problem. The Republican Army has the ability to adjust, expand, improve its combat capabilities.

But Cao Cao is the army of the imperial court, and they do not have this kind of demand and ability at present, so they naturally have little positive significance for the improvement of this combat method. This is an extremely disadvantageous place, and it is also a place where they cannot improve, in such a situation, they are very helpless, and it is extremely impossible to achieve such a favorable situation.
