"This military music is lively." Cao Cao came in with a smile. He had a telegram in his hand.

"You've got two of them. Then you pick your own tunes, but you can't do the same as us. Shang Wu said.

"Yes, yes." Cao Cao said and handed the telegram to Shang Wu, Cao Cao was in the War Department in the two places that he was most willing to go, one was Shang Wu's place, and the other was the telecommunications room, where he often stayed, because many telegrams were sent and received from there. There he can get a lot of information that the front line does not know for the first time. Very convenient. If there was no telegraph, Cao Cao would not have known how to command the battle.

Shangwu also began to actively put these things into production, and now it is possible to achieve small-scale production. Almost all five combat units had a telegraph machine. Mountain brigades are not yet available. Because their combat skills can't keep up yet. In addition, the work of laying cables is also being carried out intensively, and the speed in this regard is very fast, mainly as long as the money is given, the people will actively work in it, the telegraph line to the north has been erected, if possible, they still hope to be able to lay two, one on the pole, which is for civilian use, and the other is laid underground, for the military. However, at present, it can only be used for civilian purposes, and civilian use is not needed for the time being, but it also accepts some civilian business, after all, it can recover costs and improve the degree of promotion, and Shangwu is still happy.

The cost of manufacturing cables is still quite terrifying, from Lijiazhuang to the north more than 200 miles of cable laying cost more than 1.5 million money, this has not yet added the use of telegraphs, and the manual laying in many places has not yet counted the wages, so Shangwu must find a way to recover the cost, and it is best to promote such things.

"The information is preliminarily out." Shang Wu handed Jia Xu a telegram and said.

"It's the Black Mountain thief Yang Fengbu who fought against us. The initial number of them was about 25,000, and most of the combatants were local civilians who had been brought in, and about 5,000 were local bandits and bandits. They are the elite and the core of Yang Fengbu. Shang Wu said.

"With an infantry division and an infantry brigade to eat 25,000 people, I don't think it's worth the battle." Cao Cao said.

"A Yang Feng, I think it's a bit overkill. It is estimated that one infantry brigade will be enough. Cao Cao said.

"Lao Jia, what do you think?" Shang Wu asked Jia Xu like this, although Wen He's title was also more cordial, Shang Wu still liked to call Jia Xu with the title of Lao Jia.

"Twenty-five thousand is not a lot. And they're all rogues, and you don't know where they're going to go when they fight, so I suggest it's better to be careful. Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. That's what I thought. Such an enemy is not easy to deal with, so we should pay attention to it. Shangwu nodded. see

"Don't look at them as bandits, they are rogues, we are careless, if we underestimate them, it will bring us a lot of annoyance. We should take them seriously. Shang Wu said. see

"Hmm. In that case, I don't have much to say. Cao Cao said.

"I think, we should be cautious and better, we always want to fight a big one in one go, but in this way, it will make our problem very big, I think, we might as well narrow down some plans at the beginning, adjust to, eat their share, since Yang Fengbu is in, we will concentrate our forces to eat them, if the Black Mountain thieves reinforce, we will ambush their reinforcements, if they don't come, we will eat him." Shang Wu thought for a moment and said. Shang Wu felt that Jia Xu was right, don't think about eating more of the other party's troops at the beginning, there is no such good thing. In that case, they felt a little burdened, so Shangwu decided to concentrate his forces to first eat the opponent's share, and then come to a siege point to send reinforcements, one by one to eat the military force of the Black Mountain bandits, and finally form a battle.

"We can divide it into multiple stages, multiple stages, as long as we master the rhythm of each stage, it will be of great help to us, so we should actively promote such things." Shang Wu said.

"Well, I see, yes." Jia Xu agrees with Shang Wu.

"The forces should be concentrated in one point, a period of time, in this way, we will concentrate on eating Yang Feng, if the Black Mountain thieves don't fight with us, then we won't be afraid of them." Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. First besiege and eat one, if there are reinforcements, we will strike at their reinforcements, if there are no reinforcements, we will eat one of them, so how to calculate, we will all earn, so that the battle can be fought. Cao Cao said.

"However, what I'm worried about is that if the Black Mountain thieves did not concentrate their troops to reinforce them, but came to surround Wei to rescue Zhao, how would this be dealt with?" Cao Cao said worriedly. After all, such a possibility will still happen.

"Hehe, it's very simple, we also have a second infantry division, two infantry divisions, and an infantry brigade, if it really doesn't work, we will also invest in our teaching regiment to let them know how good those sergeants and cadets are." Shang Wu said.

"If it's confirmed, I'll send a telegram to the front and ask them to make a detailed battle plan as soon as possible. Surround Yang Fengbu as soon as possible. Jia Xu said to Shangwu.

"And so it goes." Shang Wu was confirmed. After listening to it, Jia Xu directly drew up an order, and after reading it, Shang Wu signed it, and the combat mission was officially issued.

"Eating Yang Feng can't cause a big loss to the Black Mountain thieves." Cao Cao said.

"Although a certain agreement can be reached, if you can't hurt the other party, it will pose a great threat to us and the entire base area, and you must be cautious about this issue." Cao Cao said to Shang Wu.

"Well, this problem must also be based on intelligence, in such a situation, we still lack enough intelligence to support such a point, so, in such a situation, we still need to wait, if there is a fighter, we will not give up such a situation, it is beneficial for us to weaken the Black Mountain thieves to the greatest extent." Shang Wu said.

"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded, Cao Cao is thinking about this from a strategic point of view, if he doesn't think about it like this, it may have a great impact on the future of the Republican Army, Cao Cao is worried that such a thing will happen. Shang Wu is well aware of this. He knew that Cao Cao was doing it for their good.

Huguan County. Inside Ma Heng's headquarters.

"That's it?" Ma Heng asked a sergeant from the telecommunications squad. The sergeant nodded, and then began to send out the report, they wanted to confirm with the headquarters.

Ma Heng watched patiently, he didn't know how this thing sent these things to him here, anyway, the situation was very important.

The telecommunications staff are busy quickly, and many of their things are actively advancing. In such a situation, they will do better than anyone else. However, this also required the strong support of Ma Heng, and the mobilization of more than two infantry regiments was busy with such a thing, and after their unremitting efforts, the telegram was finally initially connected to the cable.

"Da-da-da-da. Da-da-da. At this moment, there was a clattering sound of punching. Ma Heng watched strangely as the machine punched holes on its own.

"Sir, look, there's no word on it, it's a little hole, what does that mean?" A staff officer said anxiously.

"Wait and see. Don't be in a hurry. Ma Heng originally thought that those paper tapes were directly typed on them, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. This made him very curious and strange, and if he could solve such a problem, he also felt that it would be advantageous.

"Yes, sir." The staff officers waited patiently for the situation to change, and soon they found that the tapes were full. But the holes are different, some are connected, some are separated, and there is a section without any holes, and then the translator comes with a copy of the "Infantry Drill Book" to translate the numbers, and then finds the corresponding words and writes them.

"Sir, this is the first telegram." The sergeant handed the first telegram to Ma Heng.

"This, this is considered good?" Ma Heng asked curiously.

"Yes, sir, all right. This was the first telegram that our ministry received. The sergeant affirmed. Ma Heng nodded, and then it seemed that it was written on it, congratulating them on having their first radio station, and encouraging them to report more by telegram in a timely manner. And pay attention to the safety of the cable, the use of the telegraph, etc. Ma Heng looked at it curiously.

"This, this is from headquarters?" Ma Heng asked curiously.

"Yes, sir, this is indeed from headquarters. We activated a signal as agreed, and the other side could accept it into a paper tape, and then translate it into the message we needed through the paper tape, and then everything was settled. The sergeant explained.

"Good. Good. All right. Ma Heng said.

"So, can we send it? If you can send it, hurry up and send something out. Ma Heng said. The staff officers began to get busy, and the sergeant nodded, with such a tool, their communication speed could be increased a lot at once.

So a large number of telegrams began to be sent centrally, which was for them. This is a new opportunity.

All the staff officers were excited, if this thing was heavily equipped, their situation would be greatly improved. The telegram "Da Da Da" sent out one message after another.
