The condition of the road was far worse than Zhou Cang's expectations. In Hedong, a large number of roads can be built, which can provide jobs on the one hand, meet the needs of commercial transportation on the other, and in times of war, these roads can help them mobilize more troops and material convoys. The IRA has fully adapted to the needs of such a mode of transportation.

But the armies of the states were different, they were still old-fashioned armies, and their transportation was based on extremely cheap ones. That is, a large number of people are recruited and civil service is carried out, and such requisition is basically free. The lowest cost, although the least cost, but the disadvantages are very obvious, the efficiency has not been high. With very little spending, it is natural not to pay attention to the good or bad condition of the road. Although they knew that the state of the road was a good thing for a country and for the deployment of troops, they would never do such a thing, for the simple reason that the Ahu shore was not necessarily a good thing, and in such a situation, they were naturally reluctant to deal with such situations.

But when the Republican Army entered the annex state with confidence, they encountered unprecedented pressure, and such road conditions were not suitable for the rapid advance of the Republican Army, and the backward road directly led to the fact that the rapid advance that should have occurred in their plan did not happen, on the contrary, they advanced very slowly.

Lijiazhuang. War Department.

"The guerrillas were withstanding the fiercest attack of the Wuhuan cavalry, and three heroic units appeared in the guerrillas, but their troops were depleted several times, and several times they quickly replenished and fought again. The battle was fierce. My concern is that once the Wuhuan cavalry makes another detour, they may not really have much to do to stop it. Jia Xu said worriedly.

"Well, where are our reinforcements, the separate infantry divisions coming forward?" Shang Wu said something angry. Because a plan is a plan, but the actual situation development and plan are very different.

"Well, there's something that's not so good. In other words, what should have been extremely beneficial to us has become extremely unfavorable to us. Jia Xu said to Shangwu.

"The roads are in terrible condition. It was so bad that the local two-wheeled carriages couldn't be too fast, let alone our four-wheeled carriages. Coupled with the arrival of the local rainy season, the autumn rains are continuous. It was very bad for the state of our army on the march. If we initiate our equipment, it may turn back into light infantry, and it seems that the militarization of our army will be reformed. Seems to be in some trouble. Jia Xu said.

Hearing this, Shang Wu felt a little headache. Yes, Sangwu made a mistake at first. His troops were moving too fast. They embarked on the path of heavy infantry, their firepower continued to increase, and the logistics of the infantry were also rapidly increasing, and if it was to move military supplies on the inner line, this in itself was not much of a problem. But the problem is that once they spread out in an unfamiliar area, they can easily suffer from restrictions when they encounter some special road conditions.

Especially the artillery units, because in the past period of time, they have frantically replenished artillery, and the artillery has been devolved to the level of infantry companies. Despite the significant increase in firepower, the problem is that they are also under a lot of logistical pressure.

In the case of road restrictions, maneuverability is greatly reduced. Such a situation is inevitable. Because, almost all of the country is like this, only the IRA would be so crazy to build more and more roads like this, and other local governments will not do this, because it is the best way to waste revenue.

"It seems that we did it wrong. We're going too fast. We should maintain a certain rapid reaction force, at least a light infantry type. Shang Wu said.

It is only now that Shang Wu realized such a problem, in the past, the republican army was engaged head-on, and naturally paid attention to the increase in frontal firepower, but as their opponents became more and more, they required a rapid maneuver, deployment, and troops that could quickly go into battle with light equipment, their firepower was not required to be the highest, but they must react the fastest, otherwise, there would not be some things like today.

"But what about the current situation?" Jia Xu asked. Knowing that mistakes can be corrected and can be adjusted, this is the advantage of the Republican Army, but the problem is that some current things have not been properly handled, and things are still happening within the scope of influence, such a situation is not a good thing for the Republican Army.

"Let Zhou Cang put their supplies behind for the time being, before these things, they were the best infantry, and now that they have some such things, they are naturally still the best infantry." Shang Wu said.

"Well, I see." Jia Xu said. Obviously, they need to get the separate infantry divisions to give up something, do something they should do, boldly make a rapid advance, after all, that's what they should pay attention to.

Hedong, the western suburb of Binh Duong. There are vegetable fields everywhere, which were all wheat fields before, and then Binh Duong expanded. The increased demand for vegetables, coupled with the improvement of irrigation facilities, the use of cement roads, and the advent of steam engine pumps, improved irrigation conditions greatly allowed them to grow vegetables instead of wheat, because the price of vegetables was much higher than that of lower wheat.

Even, some bold people will make some new attempts to use a large amount of glass greenhouses for the cultivation of out-of-season vegetables. But there will be no such thing here, because there is an artillery school here, and in the past, there were often test firing of artillery shells. Glass can be easily shattered. Or loosen, although, with the reaction of the local population, the artillery moved the place of production of artillery test firing to the mountains. But greenhouse vegetables still did not dare to appear, because the artillery school was not relocated.

The so-called artillery school was called the Second Artillery School in the Republican Army. Also known as the Hedong Second Artillery School, the school is mainly responsible for training junior artillery command officers, as well as non-command officers, and there are also considerable courses for training artillery non-commissioned officers. Many artillerymen come here for new training, so there are a lot of test firing at the beginning of the artillery, but now, this is mainly a place to concentrate on learning some theories.

Of course. The Second Artillery School has now undertaken a part of the new teaching task, that is, to help Dong Zhuojun train a large number of artillery commanders and operating artillery commanders. There were more than 300 people in the first batch of talents, and the second batch suddenly expanded to more than 500 people.

Dong Zhuo is an ambitious person. He wanted to build a large artillery unit, and without gunners, it would be difficult to build a group of artillery.

Dong Zhuojun's artillery use is still direct fire, although the theoretical firing range is 3,000 to 200 steps, but in fact, in the direct operation of Dong Zhuo's army, the maximum firing range can only play to more than 1,100 steps, this distance, or the result of the most experienced gunners, most of the gunners can hit a distance of 800 steps, which is a very good result.

Because the artillery they use is self-aiming. As for the curve, it is completely dependent on the feeling, and it can hit 1,100 steps, which is the feeling after more launches. And there is. Because the artillery provided to them lacks too much maintenance, the explosion of the chamber happens, especially when it is fired quickly, the probability of such a bombing is more than 70%, which is quite high. Many artillerymen were either killed or wounded, and they were able to survive and become the most experienced gunners, which is very valuable. It is conceivable that the army of the imperial court treated the artillery units as if they were cannon fodder, and the artillery had no treatment of technical arms at all, on the contrary, their losses were greater than that of the infantry.

This kind of treatment is completely impossible to establish artillery, because they don't know how to shoot in a curve, for calculating trigonometric functions, and the time difference of the landing point, because this is related to the importance of using new shells, as well as ricochets, which are of great significance to the long-range support of infantry, the artillery of the Republican Army knows this, and for Dong Zhuo's artillery, this is very strange, completely strange, very strange.

"Oops, I'm dizzy." An artillery cadet from Dong Zhuojun, Zhang Hua, nickname, big dog. He was the first batch of action artillery cadets to come here, and the food here was good, but the place where he lived was too particular, he had to keep it clean, he had to brush his teeth, and his whole body was kept clean, and it took them nearly a month and a half to get used to it.

Because, once there is a violation, there will be severe punishment.

These punishments are nothing to them, and the most terrible thing is that they do the math. That's what they're going to do right now.

They want to use the artillery mirror, as well as the rangefinder, they don't know what the principle of these things is, although their instructors have repeatedly taught, they don't understand at all, plus time constraints, Dong Zhuo is unlikely to give them too much time to learn slowly, they must learn to shoot, in desperation, the instructors can only simplify education, cramming for math tests, math education. They are given a large number of trigonometric problems to measure distances at different angles, as well as emission angles, so that they can learn how to use a range of measurements.

Now, all they have to do is do the questions, get used to the questions, get used to these things numbly.

"I'm dying too. The heart is tired, who invented these things, too tired. "Leftovers" said. He was also very tired, because it was not as good as beating them. It's much better than doing questions.
