Giant deer. Zhu Jun looked at the telegram in his hand. Then he handed the telegram in his hand to his Simas. In fact, Zhu Jun felt that Sima should be changed to a staff officer. Below are professional staff officers in combat, training, drafting, logistics, and so on. Compared with. He felt that the division of the Republican Army was more specific and more intense. But alas, military reform was not done all at once. Actually, his situation is not very good. This is a situation that no one can understand. That's a lot of what they need to do right now. If they can't do that, they may not be able to do a lot of things.

"What do you think of such a thing?" Zhu Jun asked.

"General, we believe that this is a kind of intimidation, and the Republican Army wants to intimidate it through such a military exercise. Despite the fact that the object is aimed at the Montenegrin Army. But we still have to do the specific situation ourselves, and such a situation is a very unfavorable situation for us. A Sima said.

"Although I also think that the IRA has such a meaning in it, it is undeniable that the IRA can indeed achieve their goals by doing this, and such a purpose is a great disadvantage for us." Zhu Jun said.

"But we should see that even if we are all united with the Montenegrin thieves, we don't have such ability, plus the officials and the Montenegrin thieves have their own plans. We have nothing to do about such things. Zhu Jun said helplessly.

He personally disagrees with some of Jian Shuo's great strategic ideas, but he can't openly oppose them, the only way is to deal with them if he can, and if he can't deal with them, he doesn't have a good way to solve such things. Such a situation. For themselves, this is the most unfavorable situation, if this situation can be dealt with, he thinks, it is estimated that it is still okay, after all, such a situation, this is not something that ordinary people can deal with.

Jian Shuo's strategic thinking is correct, but in terms of the specific implementation details, the situation can be very different. The reason is that many things are different from their strategic concept, for example, they need to unite too many various armies, Xiongnu, Baibo. And the state border army, the Black Mountain bandits, the Youzhou army, in addition to the garrisons in various places. Whether they can support such a war, as well as their morale, logistics and supplies cannot be fully considered. It is necessary to carry out a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of the Republican Army, which cannot be completed at all, because all the people are very clear about such a situation, and if this situation can be avoided, he naturally needs to avoid it, but the situation is that many things cannot be avoided, which directly causes their situation to be in an unfavorable situation, and in this case, they will be in an unfavorable situation.

Because everybody's strength isn't going to be used in one place, they all know it. Attacking the Republican Army alone will not gain any benefits, but none of them will attack the Republican Army with all their might, because attacking the Republican Army with all their strength means that their losses will be even greater, and they are not willing to do such a loss, their enthusiasm is very low, and their ideas are very good. Such a thing simply cannot be done. Obviously, there is such a reason. And it's a situation that can't be avoided. But as a result, Jian Shuo still has to do such a thing.

"This. Checkmate. Some Simas still have some illusions, after all, they think that some such things can still be done, but Zhu Jun directly and simply vetoed such a situation, in his opinion, such a situation will only make them fall into a more unfavorable situation. I want to do it like that. Apparently impossible to complete.

"You will choose some people to come out and go to the north to participate in their military exercises and see what the situation is?" After Zhu Jun finished speaking, he left here. Zhu Jun was studying the Republican Army, and he received some infantry drills from Cao Cao, as well as their combat regulations. and some preliminary teaching materials. The quality of the printing is still very good.

Inside the command of the Separate Brigade. Zhou Cang is carefully studying the latest battle report. Pingyang County has been preliminarily taken down. But in reality, the entire Xiongnu population of about 9,000 people was huddled in about a quarter of the county seat of Pingyang. The two sides are facing off with muskets, bows and arrows. The density of bows and arrows was great, while the Republican muskets were more lethal. The Huns could not storm, this was due to the fact that they were afraid that the independent brigade would drop all sorts of ***. It's easy for that kind of *** to break up their offense. Especially in the special situation of street fighting, there are stones, iron nails, and iron balls in some perverted ** bags, such things can be splashed out, and a large number of people can be killed, and the Huns can't bombard at all, and the independent brigade can't completely destroy the other party, because there are too many people. They didn't expect that the other party would gather so much at once in Pingyang County. Pei Yuanshao only has ten infantry companies in his hands, and the total number of personnel is only in the early 2,000s, 2,000 people, suppressing the opponent's more than 9,000 people, such a battle looks very troublesome.

"How many more people can be drawn from the command side?" Zhou Cang looked at the map anxiously and asked the staff officer.

"Sir, everyone who can go up has gone up. Even the cooks were transferred. A staff officer reported.

"Half of the staff officers of the General Staff have also been transferred. Sir, the personnel can't be pumped anymore. We only have the strength of a guard platoon. The staff officer looked at Zhou Cang and reported. Zhou Cang waved his arm, indicating that he knew. Pei Yuanshao gave him a big problem. And this puzzle doesn't seem to be easy to solve. Because he still needed to fight against possible reinforcements, he sent all his logistics units. Because some units are fighting guerrillas, it is already good to be able to arrive in time.

The Independence Brigade had just arrived, and a lot of their things could not be carried out, and such a situation made their situation very bad. Because they were able to get the support of the militia is not very much. Zhou Cang wished that he had an infantry division in his hands. It's a pity that he only has the strength of an infantry brigade, and there is no good way to be in a hurry.

"This guy, this time, I have to send him to Lijiazhuang." Zhou Cang said annoyedly. The staff officer looked at it and shook his head helplessly. It is impossible for the brigade commander and the deputy brigade commander to leave. Such words are just words.

On Li Tie's blocking position, they were supported by two small guns of two and a half inches and a half caliber. However, Li Tie did not plan to put it into use too early, and from night onwards, they began to capture a large number of scattered Xiongnu cavalry, but some cavalry still escaped. After a surprise interrogation. There were also those who knew Chinese among the Huns. As long as they use some special methods, they will still tell Li Tie about them.

There are still more than 9,000 people in Pingyang County, and they don't know the exact number. But with so many people, it was impossible to rush out. Because the Huns were well aware of the tactics of the republican army, the encirclement was missing one, in fact, the republican army only buried a small amount of ** on their passage, and as a result, they retracted all of a sudden after touching it. They believe that the IRA has planted a large number of ** there. Therefore, they did not go out alive or dead, which caused a very dangerous situation in Pingyang County, where 2,000 people pressed more than 9,000 people to fight. The two sides suddenly fell into a street fight. In such a battle, neither side will attack the other. In such a situation, their situation becomes very unfavorable. It can be difficult for this condition to last for a long time.

And at this time. Reinforcements have become the best solution for both sides. The problem of who can get more support will be easily solved. This is something that everyone understands, and if reinforcements arrive, the situation will become more favorable. But the number of reinforcements for the Republican Army was too small. The situation has not improved much. Unless there are more blocking forces, many things will be difficult to do.

"Hit. Bang bang. After Li Tie shouted loudly. The Hun cavalry, who dismounted to investigate the situation, was suddenly knocked off their horses, and then a large number of cavalry began to retreat rapidly. They set up obstacles on the main official roads and where horses could pass, dug trenches, traps, cut down trees to block the passage of the road, buried **, and launched attacks in some advantageous places. In short, there are many means of attacking. Naturally, they were able to do a lot, and in such a situation, it would be a huge loss for the Hun cavalry. Because they have no way to cross such a place to attack. Carry out reinforcements.

"Sir. The Huns retreated. A captain officer ran over and said.

"Be careful, watch each other, let's hurry up and set up more obstacles, so that we can maximize their time." Li Tie said. The Hun cavalry that came to reinforce was not very many, only five hundred people, probably the vanguard, and they immediately retreated after just a little contact. The losses were not very large, and more than 20 people were killed, which can be regarded as a kind of reminder to the other party. However, he knew very well that the Huns would never do this. Therefore, they must be careful and set up more obstacles, where the cavalry cannot pass, the Huns will definitely be able to come after dismounting and becoming infantry. That's what they have to guard against. The other side has an advantage in troops, and such an advantage is not good news for them. Therefore, it is more advantageous to be careful.

In such a situation, there is a lot that they can do. That's what they're mainly doing at the moment.

Small kiln ditch. The wild wolf battalion troops are stationed here, and there are militias in several nearby villages, and the number of militias is more than 800 people, which is not a small military force, and the middle-aged people who participate in the militia are middle-aged people to half-grown children, and children can be sentry. Young people to middle-aged people are the main force in the army, they usually do farm work, and every family has a share of land. Some were unwilling to farm, so they gave the land to the bank, which specifically attracted them to deposit and then paid them interest every month. And the interest can be converted into paper money, which is the republican dollar, and there is grain. In this way, they basically maintain their basic food needs, which is a good thing for them, so their families are free from the problem of food and clothing.

Because of the entry of a large number of commercial banks, many banks from the base areas have adopted the method of actively absorbing them, and they have suddenly discovered that there are great business opportunities in the land. So they attract a lot of land to deposit, or to trade, to deliver, and the price they give is very fair. Because if there is fraud, the bank license will be gone. That is an illegal bank, and if it is caught, it is a very remarkable thing. Therefore, many banks do not dare to do this, for the simple reason that it is simple. The penalties are too severe. Once you touch the maximum amount, you will be completely bankrupt. Such a loss is definitely not something that any businessman can bear, so the best way is to do nothing, or in other words, never dare to do anything illegal.

Acquisitions by commercial banks. To a large extent, this situation has been alleviated, and it can be said that their great situation satisfies the needs of land annexation and concentration and the transfer of a large number of surplus laborers, and the government requires that the minimum living needs of the peasants be guaranteed, and this demand is food and clothing. They can buy a lot of food to attract them to the land, and then they can change the rights of the land in large quantities, and in order to attract the peasants to deposit the land in it, they come up with many, many tricks, for example, to provide them with jobs. They work with some enterprises to introduce each other to farmers, because many farmers think that they can go to the towns and villages to study, become workers, and be paid the same amount for their labor. If you count it, it's more than they used to farm. Such a situation for them. This is the development of one of the most effective situations, and with such a development will greatly help their needs, and this demand, for them, is the most favorable situation.

It is precisely because of this that many local people will actively join the militia, because joining the militia is to defend their own victory, and these are for their own good. There is no one who can meet such a need, and this is an unprecedented favorable situation. In such a situation, it is the most favorable situation of all of them.

Zhang Zhen and Zhao Laosan were circulating, and they exchanged views on a series of recent developments in the Second Small Army Division in the mountains. Far away from them, there were two guards who were responsible for keeping them safe, but Zhao Laosan disagreed. There were militias nearby, and he had two flintlock pistols on his body, so such a situation was very advantageous for him.

"The current development of the army has failed many people, participating in the main local militia, these militias have provided us with sufficient soldiers, and at the same time they have provided us with a lot of high-quality logistics services, which can ensure that we carry out long-distance offensive operations, for example, there are many wheelbarrow transport teams in the local area, although the size of their team is not very large, but the number is very large, plus the emergence of some factories, especially some logistics factories to help us solve a series of logistical things, This is a huge help for us. Zhang Zhen said.

The development of the Hedong base area can almost be imitated or carved out of a mold, and the local area has also begun to actively concentrate a large number of surplus labor and carry out socialization and re-division of labor, although there is no clear local coal discovery. Or a resource like iron ore, but they're already actively doing so. Forged lime. Or to make some preliminary parts of firearms, the troops need a large number of weapons, especially the militia, they need muskets, the barrels can be produced on a large scale in Luzhou and the base areas. And then it's centrally transported here, where it's assembled, and the bullets are the same, and they can be produced locally. There are also a variety of resources in the local area, using the abundant limestone resources, they can make cement, and the cement they make may not meet the standards of the Republican Army, but it can meet the large civilian market and build roads. The construction of factories, the rebuilding of homes, all of this is a new beginning.

While solving the surplus labor force, some of them entered the Republican Army from the militia, and they became part of the wolf battalion.

"These recruits, there are also a lot of problems, although some of them have participated in combat experience, but the actual combat experience is still too low. Their combat skills, I also watched. Not much. They learned arquebuses in the militia, but here they use flintlock pistols, which is more difficult. There is a difficulty in learning. The troops had to fight. That's right. Zhao Laosan said. Zhao Laosan already has some experience in leading troops. He knew what their situation was at the moment, and although the soldiers had been replenished to a great extent, in fact, their combat effectiveness could not rise quickly. It is certainly quick for veterans to lead new soldiers, but without fighting, many things cannot be carried out.

"Isn't training going to solve such a thing?" Zhang Zhen said. After experiencing a situation when the whole company was about to be defeated, Zhang Zhen sometimes really didn't want the troops in his hands to be beaten again. He didn't want such a situation in his troops all at once.

"No, training is training, fighting is fighting. Sometimes, the troops are well trained, but when they rush up, they are all thin. Such a unit can't withstand it at all, so we still need to fight a few battles. The recruit suddenly became a veteran. Zhao Laosan said.

"Casualties, I mean, can you control the casualties, you know, I sometimes, I really don't want to see so many casualties, these soldiers are good, if they are all sent at once, they will be gone. I'm distressed. Zhang Zhen said.

"I know, there are some knots in your heart that can't be solved, there is no way, give it to me, I can't untie it, but this is a war, fighting, it needs to be sacrificed, the only way, I can only reduce some casualties for you, other things, I really can't do so many things, you know this situation better than me. In this situation, many things will actually be difficult to carry out. The other party said.

"Hmm. That's what I say. You know, this is a big problem for us. In this case, we must respond in a timely manner. Zhang Zhen said. Zhao Laosan looked at them, these commanders. Send their own soldiers up and send them to death, they are not reconciled in their hearts, after all, they are all soldiers in their own hands.

"I understand such things. Never mind. Don't talk about these things. I thought about it. This is understandable, let's take our time. I just don't know if there have been any battles to fight recently. The troops could not rest like this. It's time for some hands-on combat. Otherwise, it will soon be relaxed. Zhao Laosan said worriedly. Zhang Zhen also agrees with such a situation. After all, sometimes such things are really difficult to deal with. This requires them to make timely adjustments.

"Bell." It was then that they heard the sirens of the village. It was the sound of a piece of bronze striking on it, and it was extremely rapid, and it looked like something big had happened.

"Quick, give the order, assemble the team, and let the militia escort the villagers into the tunnel. Or into the mountains, there must be no problems. Zhao Laosan shouted loudly. They were busy all at once. This is a combat alert. As soon as a combat alert appeared. The whole village will be in a state of battle, and every house will have a tunnel. The militia quickly assembled and organized the retreat of the villagers. No one knew what the situation was, and the two of them rushed back quickly. They know. Something big is going to happen.

"What's going on?" Zhao Laosan and Zhang Zhen didn't even catch their breath, they suddenly entered a state of battle, which was the most favorable situation for them.

"Combat alert. Sir, this is the order just given from above. All militias are to organize the retreat to protect the population. The combat troops entered the area around Pingyang, as well as the nearby official roads, to intercept all the Hun cavalry leading to the county seat of Pingyang. Or to conduct support operations there. A herald conveyed the order. The details are in the Epistles.

After Zhao Laosan took a quick look, he tapped on the table, and then looked for the location on the map, Zhang Zhen looked at the command in his hand. Carry out some preliminary ideas, this is the rhythm of the war. Although they don't know what is happening at the front, something big must have happened, otherwise something like this would not have happened.
