In addition to this, there is one more thing that is worth considering for Shangwu.

Intelligence, without accurate intelligence, it is impossible to make accurate judgments, although the Republican Army occupies an advantage in communications, but in terms of intelligence, especially in Luoyang's higher intelligence, it definitely does not occupy a favorable position, because the Republican Army is marginalized, they cannot go deep into the high-level to obtain enough favorable sources of intelligence, therefore, the Republican Army pays great attention to Luoyang, but the intelligence is really pitiful, this is the reason why the Republican Army is marginalized, Because the high-ranking officials in Luoyang disdained to deal with such a local warlord with businessmen as the mainstream.

Although the Republican Army also has the idea of buying, the other side will not give such an opportunity at all, and buying also requires a certain will. Obviously, the other side does not have such a will. That's where they are most disadvantaged.

"If Luoyang can provide information on this, we can cooperate with the other party." Jia Xu said.

"Even at a great cost, I think we should be able to do that." Jia Xu added.

"Well, I agree with that, but we also need to verify the accuracy and credibility of the other party's information, otherwise, we will have the wrong information and cause great losses." Shang Wu said.

"At the moment, our attention is on the merger, and after the merger is over, where should we shift?" Shang Wu thought for a moment and said.

"I think we should stop expanding for the time being, focus our attention on our internal construction, rectify our construction problems, many places need to be consolidated, lay a good foundation, step by step, do a good job of such a series of foundations, if we expand again, I think, there will be a lot of favorable situations, for us, this is the place we should pay the most attention to." Shang Wu clarified the direction of the next development. The information that Shangwu has access to, and the angle from which he stands is much higher, they have to consider the problem from a holistic perspective.

"Well, I agree to do this, so that there will be a buffer period for Luoyang intelligence, which will give us some process of fully understanding the other party, as well as plenty of time." Jia Xu said.

"We've been expanding so fast. After winning the annexed states, how to transform the merged states into our side in a timely manner and rapidly develop their economic potential is what we should be most concerned about. For example, Jinyang, we occupied Jinyang with less than the strength of an infantry company, but they controlled Jinyang, in fact, the symbolic meaning of our occupation of Jinyang is greater than the practical significance, because Jinyang is not under our actual control, the local powerful landlords, they spontaneously organized a government in their favor. They manage all their own situations, and because we can't stabilize, we can't form any favorable suppression for them for the time being, and in other places, there are also the White Polish Army, and the guerrilla government, and even, in more places, the clan power has played a certain role, which is very difficult for the unification of the annexation of the state, the economic development of the annexation of the state, plus Hedong, Luzhou, and the capital of various places are constantly actively entering the annexation, and a number of economic forces have formed an extremely complex situation. This has formed a very complicated situation for us to control the overall situation, and this situation is extremely unfavorable for us, and we absolutely cannot see such a change in the situation. Jia Xu said.

"Well, you're right. The difficulties we are facing, as well as the actual difficulties we encounter, are much greater than the achievements of expansion that we see on the surface, if we can't deal with these hidden dangers in a timely manner, the results can be imagined, this is still a big trouble for us, we have to solve such practical troubles in a timely manner, otherwise, this will cause us a lot of trouble. We must not allow such a problem to continue, it is too difficult. Shang Wu said.

In consideration of the future situation. Shang Wu and Jia Xu need to make a series of strategic adjustments, because only when such strategic adjustments are achieved, many things can become more favorable, otherwise, their situation will become extremely bad. That's where they're right now, and it's going to have a big impact on us.

and state, a Republican prisoner of war camp.

"Kill them, kill them. Kill them. "Some children with rocks and clods of earth kept attacking the Wuhuan prisoners of war inside the barbed wire. The Republican soldiers also expelled them, while the guerrillas who were in charge of guarding them simply released the water, as long as it did not threaten the lives of the children.

Some of the Wuhuan fighters kept shouting and even fought back, but they were soon taught a lesson with sticks by the guerrillas.

These are captured Wuhuan cavalry prisoners of war, there are less than seventy of them, and most of them were knocked unconscious, or captured by the ** explosion. In formal engagements, the guerrillas and the Republicans rarely captured each other's prisoners of war because they also had a strong will to fight, but being blown up was another matter.

The prisoners of war only had one meal a day, and it was gruel, which caused them to lose a lot of calories, and they did not have enough calories to escape long distances. The longer the time drags on, the worse the situation becomes.

Prisoner of war "Muru" was one of them. He was now sluggish and hungry. He had no plans to run away. Because it's too uncomfortable to run away.

Muru was in a small infiltration roundabout operation, they went deep into the Fenhe Plain, but unfortunately, they only entered not long before they encountered a minefield, they didn't know what was going on, and many people were killed. It was in that battle that Muru was blown unconscious, and when he woke up, he was captured. And then they were sent here. At first, he thought about escaping, but before he could escape far, he was killed. Escape became less likely, and they were naturally looking for new opportunities, after all, it was a big blow to them.

What Muru couldn't understand was what kind of weapon they had encountered, and as soon as they had entered the back of the enemy, they encountered a loud noise, and Muru felt very terrible in retrospect, and he felt that a very powerful force had overturned his horses directly. Muru lost consciousness under such an impact. He still felt his head buzzing.

Muru may never understand that this is a defensive measure for the massive laying of minefields by the Republican Army and the guerrillas.

Zhou Cang knew very well that the forces in his hands could not take into account all the defensive areas, the defensive front of an infantry division was only eighty miles at most, but the Wuhuan cavalry could detour from the battlefield more than two hundred miles wide, except for some complex terrain areas, there were still many areas that could be detoured, and the mobility of the cavalry was very large. This is not unfamiliar to the Republican Army, which is good at mobile warfare, once the other side makes a detour and attacks from both sides, the Republican Army will inevitably fail, although they can hold on, but the reinforcements, they do not have much reserves in their hands, and investing one or two infantry companies will not play much role at all.

How to defend, in such a situation, Zhou Cang's staff officers firmly believe that a large number of minefields should be arranged in a timely manner. The density can be small, but the minefield must be widespread. Moreover, the main purpose of laying minefields should be a combination of real and false, maximum delay, and destruction of the enemy's actions.

Fortunately, it is very difficult for the locals to mobilize and let them participate in the war, but digging a pit and burying ** is a very simple thing for them, and women and children can do such a thing. And they quickly get acquainted with **. Some children took the initiative to participate in the fighting, hiding in some areas, detonating **. This is something that has never been done before.

Of course. The engineering squads of the guerrillas, these engineering squads are developed under the education and leadership of skilled engineers, they are the main force specially buried, and most of them have only received, no more than three days of study. They simply learned the skills of burying **.

That's enough for them. Because they also have their own ingenuity. Because it is against a special cavalry brigade, the speed of the cavalry is very fast, and the ** detonation can only cause a certain loss to the horses, but cannot kill and injure the opponent's cavalry personnel. For example, Muru survived because the horses suffered most of the damage.

In response to such some things, the engineer team began to actively invent, they invented the "jumping mine" This kind of structure is very simple, that is, on the basis of **, install more hands**, as well as ***, when ** is blown up, ignite the hand ** or *** blow up the cavalry, this volley explosion method, to the cavalry brought great damage.

Of course, there are big problems with this kind of **, for example, sometimes, it is impossible to detonate a flying ricocheted. This may directly lead to the fact that it is a big iron ball that flies, but the defensive role played by the minefield is enough to illustrate the problem, which shows that the role of the minefield is very large.

Prisoners of war like Muru illustrate the importance of minefields. Behind the first line of defense of the Republican army, they played an important role in the second line of defense, and because of the minefield, the small force of infiltrated Wuhuan cavalry could not play a greater role, and the trouble they encountered was enough for them to have a headache. That's the importance of minefields, and they're going to play to a significant point.
