543 relied on the Huns

"Platoon commander, I really don't know what this means? Captured so many prisoners of war. That's a big burden. Liuzi said to his platoon commander dissatisfied. Their platoon was responsible for guarding prisoners of war, but the number of prisoners of war was terrifying. More than 2,000 people have been held here, although most of them are elderly, children, and women. But the number of guards was too small. It's still putting a lot of pressure on them.

The gendarmes were constantly patrolling, and even then there were still escapes. But they can only watch this happen.

After all, their forces are too limited. At the same time, it was strictly forbidden to kill prisoners of war at will, and they were provided with some food and water. These Hun prisoners of war, from the nervous and panicked at the beginning, to the quiet later, they seemed to know that the republican army would not kill them. And the weapons in their hands are something they never thought of. The kind of tube that could shoot out huge flames made them feel very frightened and puzzled. They believe that it is the power given by the gods. In such a situation, most of them give up resistance, because resistance is meaningless and even brings great adverse consequences to themselves, they all think so. Naturally, it also gives them less trouble.

"I don't know about this, the chief has his own ideas, and he may be able to solve a lot of trouble. However, you kid don't shoot at will, and besides, those women's ideas can't be hit. Do you understand? The platoon commander warned.

"Sir, I don't dare, this is an order." Liuzi said. They really didn't want to take such prisoners of war. They thought of following the charge with the large force. I heard that the front fight was very easy. The Huns simply could not resist. The hand sneaks in quietly, or some skilled cavalry will rush out alone, they use their hands to blow up a gap, as long as the pressure of the attack exerted there, the Huns will choose to surrender.

The defenders are old, weak, sick and disabled, they can only carry out fixed defenses, and the range of their bows and arrows is very limited.

The Republican Army's offensive method is generally to have their rifling men dismount to fight, and their weapons have a long range and can carry out accurate shooting, so their shooting skills will be very high, and they will cause a lot of damage to the opponent. With constant firing, they were able to open a gap, and the main purpose of the cavalry was to expel and kill in pursuit.

The Republican Army is gradually figuring out the essentials of cavalry warfare, and they find that the greatest advantage of cavalry is their speed and quick response to pursuit. And the cavalry did not have to fight on horseback alone. Originally, the Republican Army was a branch of the infantry that evolved from the infantry, and their ability to dismount and fight on foot had not completely degraded, on the contrary, dismounted and fought on foot, which gave them a greater advantage. Because they can use the deployment of combat skills such as long-range shooting, explosives, etc., which is where the Republican Army relies the most, without these. A lot of their stuff is practically impossible to unfold.

The Republican Army is not a too innocent cavalry force, but their way of playing makes the Huns very passive, and their tribes are opened by the Republican Army one by one. Some are still in a state of passive defense, and in the face of the Republican cavalry running back and forth, their pressure is very high. Surrender finally abounds. This is also due to the increasing number of IRA prisoners of war. But when it came to dealing with prisoners of war, the IRA was in a difficult situation. Because this is their initiative to attack in an unfamiliar regional environment.

They were cavalry units that needed to maintain a high degree of mobility and were unlikely to march with prisoners of war.

Prisoners of war have become their greatest burden. This problem has not been well resolved. After all, it's a big puzzle.

And Ma Liu's hope is that to throw such a burden to the cavalry infantry who are hurrying up, they are the infantry units that follow them to fight behind them, and doing such a thing must be the most important thing for them to carry out. But for a time how to deal with such a large number of prisoners of war, they themselves are not very clear. It's too hard to ask.

Mountain Divisional Division.

"The speed of the cavalry units is too fast. They even created the astonishing speed of the new army, which advanced a hundred miles in a day. This speed is very amazing for us. A combat staff officer gestured on the map. Exactly where they arrived, the operational staff could only put the position of the cavalry on the place marked north. Because they don't know much, they just know that it's okay to keep moving north.

"They're moving too fast." The red lady looked at the map and said the same. Such a fast speed, she felt that she couldn't adapt to it, this may be the characteristics of cavalry combat, fast fighting, fast out, this fast pace for a while, so that the mountain infantry division is difficult to adapt to for a while.

"Well, let's keep up with them as soon as possible. That's right. What happened to the rearrangement of the riding battalion? How many such infantry battalions do we have thrown into it? "The red lady has to pay attention to such a problem, because at the moment they must pay attention to such a problem, so that they can adapt to such a rhythm. Because the cavalry battalion was the only unit that could keep up with the rhythm of the cavalry.

"Well, sir, it's going to take some time, first of all, our troops need to keep moving north, and they can do this entirely on foot, the infantry in front of them have taken away almost all the local horses, and the number of horses we can get is too limited. In addition to this, our soldiers need to walk. This had too much impact on the physical exertion of the soldiers. The operational staff officer said.

"Our soldiers still need to learn how to ride horses, which is a bit more difficult. They were able to travel sixty miles in one day, which was a very good result. Sir, after all, you know, in a situation like this, this is the best we can do. The staff officer said.

Yes, there is simply too much they can do. The state of modification of the cavalry battalion did not make their situation much more favorable. Because their soldiers still need to learn to ride horses, this is a bit too difficult.

This is a brand new class, and naturally the difficulties they encounter are not the same.

"Horses, horsemanship, this is a very important combat situation that restricts our operations, and if we continue like this, it will form a great disadvantage for us." The red lady said.

"Tell the Chief of Staff to bring as many horses as they can when they go south, we need these horses, because these are the only ones that can help us solve these problems." The red lady decided so. The problem of horses is still not solved, but they can solve it in other ways, such as they can transport more horses south, and then their situation will be much more advantageous, and in many cases, what they do will be much more advantageous. It's a huge development for them.

The staff officer recorded that he hoped that their superiors would be able to solve such problems quickly, otherwise, many of their affairs would not be able to deal with such things thoroughly and properly.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

The things encountered on the front line, the difficulties are fed back here in a timely manner through telegrams, so that their reaction speed will be much faster than that of the Republican army's opponents, which is their advantage, because this reaction speed gives them a great advantage, even a head start.

"We still have a lot of difficulties." Jia Xu said this with a lot of telegrams.

"First of all, some infantry units have to become infantry on horseback, they have to learn to ride horses, control horses, and at the same time they need a large number of horses, although the horses of the Huns have harnesses, but they do not have stirrups, such a situation is still very troublesome for us. Not only that, but there is also a shortage of horses, which puts us in a disadvantageous situation. Jia Xu said.

"It seems that there are still a lot of problems." Shang Wu has seen it say that the problem of horses can come from seizure, after all, this is the fastest way.

"But there are still a lot of cattle and sheep, and we also need to be mindful that we need to solve our logistical supply, which is best if we can solve it locally, after all, this situation is much more favorable for us." Jia Xu said. Transporting too much food from a home purchase is still too much logistical pressure on them. Jia Xu hopes to be able to recruit more soldiers and even food in the local area, so that their problems can be greatly solved.

"I think the sublimation of land policy, for example, the establishment of pastures, and the establishment of ranches on a larger scale, is very necessary, after all, it can greatly alleviate the pressure on us in this area, which is a very favorable situation for us." Jia Xu said.

"What you mean is that we are going to build our base directly in the local area, and we are relying on the locals." Shang Wu said with some concern. After all, the Huns, what he feared was unreliability.

"I know that the Huns may not be reliable, but I think we should give it a try, in this way, maybe this is the most advantageous way for us, and if we can, we can also provide some experience, after all, we will have to capture it sooner or later, which is the most beneficial outcome for us." Jia Xu said.

"Well, well, we should try some, preferably from the army, looking for such a man who can take over, soldier, we lack such people." Shang Wu said.
