Jingshi, Luoyang, upstairs at the city gate. The one-eyed brigadier looked at the airship flying in the sky and smiled with satisfaction.

"Originally, I thought that our commander would give up on our assistance. At the very least, they would have opened a passage directly, but they did not expect that they would use airships and air units to transport valuable logistics supplies to us. This was a big surprise to me. Brigadier General One-Eyed couldn't contain his excitement.

It's not just the one-eyed brigadier, it's a lot of people. At first, the militia members who had gathered saw the airship in the sky thought that the gods had arrived. They all bowed down and even found incense and candle offerings to worship. Fortunately, the situation was very open and controlled.

Their commanders have told them that this is the most powerful and mysterious unit of the Republican Army, and their appearance will greatly alleviate their current lack of supplies.

This is a manifestation that the IRA will not give up on them.

This move has further stimulated the morale of more soldiers and their support. Some of them still think that the republican army cannot defend the capital division of Luoyang, after all, the capital division of Luoyang is very important. The most important point is that the Kwantung coalition army had more than 100,000 troops, and the ranks of the republican army do not seem to be regular troops. But with the strength of the Republican Army in the air. It was a great morale boost.

Because during this period, there was no such thing as air defense at all. The air is equivalent to an undefended state, and in such a situation, the air power of the Republican Army means that it will have direct and powerful control over the ground battle. This kind of control is something that no one can have. Therefore, the advantage of the Republican Army is very large. In such a situation, the Republican Army will be completely victorious. This is the consensus of all people, and it is also a very obvious situation.

"Yes, sir, in this way, our morale and material problems have been temporarily resolved. However, on the fundamental issues, we still have not completely improved significantly. The adjutant said.

"I understand this very well." Brigadier General One-Eyed said.

At present, it is impossible to launch a large-scale offensive on the southern front, and the main problem is concentrated on the problem of ammunition, which is not good for the Republican army, and if the supply of materials does not reach a certain amount, the officers will not rashly launch an attack, because it is too much risk for them. Therefore, the biggest possibility of solving the difficulties of Luoyang City still comes from the northern route. As for when the offensive will be launched on the northern front, the one-eyed brigadier is not clear, since he does not have access to such situations at the moment.

In fact, the Northern Front has entered the final mobilization period.

Northern Route. Zhang Liao battle group. In fact, more than seven militia infantry regiments have been mobilized here. Most of them are recruits. Despite their new-looking uniforms, they were the main force of the attack.

Gao Shun was surprised to receive his letter of appointment. He was appointed acting commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 7th Separate Infantry Regiment. The rank of Major.

Very unexpected. But Gao Shun felt that things were tricky. Or rather, he felt some pressure.

Gao Shun quickly accepted the appointment. His 3rd Infantry Battalion. More than 90 percent are recruits. The recruits wore brand new military uniforms and drank the medicinal soup provided by their superiors. Honey is added to it. The taste is sweeter. Of course, there are some juices like some things that are said to add what vitamins.

After all, the situation inside the trenches was not optimistic, the humid environment was not very good for the feet of the soldiers.

The effect of the decoction is to increase the immunity of the soldiers. At the same time, some taste improvements have been added, so that some of the soldiers' needs for taste can be maximized. This may be a kind of treatment for soldiers.

Gao Shun took a look at the food at noon today, and the food standard before the war had improved a lot. For example, with broth, meatloaf, soldiers can eat canned meat. The kind of meat in clay pots is particularly salty. But it can feed the soldiers. A lot of people don't have access to it at all, they're all children of poor families. Didn't think too much about it per se.

They gathered together and talked about what they had seen and heard at home. The content revolves around the land divided by the hometown, the harvest, as well as marriage, one's own children, and so on.

Gao Shun had to admit that the Republican Army's efforts in this regard far exceeded that of any other army.

Because there is nothing more important than the land that makes these children from the countryside work harder. They're all young lads. They are not badly physical, and they are very tall soldiers. There was some spirit in their eyes. It seems that the land stimulates them a lot, and they have endless topics to talk about the land. Around this, they can develop a lot of new ideas.

For these reasons, they are also willing to fight. This powerful way of fighting made them feel an unprecedented victory.

It can be said that in terms of morale, they have a great advantage, and although they are somewhat unbearable in many tactical battles, they dare to fight. This can make him feel at ease. This is an extremely advantageous point for anyone.

However, Gao Shun decided to strengthen their command ties. Because he knew that the Republican Army fought and dared to boldly intersperse. Many of the battles he knew of showed that soldiers were easily broken up in the process of daring interspersing. After the breakup, it was difficult for the soldiers to fully restore the organization at the first time. In such a case. It is still necessary to strengthen the command between them.

Gao Shun was busy strengthening their command system. This is especially true when the emphasis is placed on command at the grassroots level. Zhang Liao is also busy with this campaign.

His plan was to launch a bold attack from both flanks.

The first to attack was the front, bombarded with huge firepower. Caused great confusion on the front of the Kwantung coalition forces. After the shelling, *** will carry out a second launch. The Republican Army loaded *** on the wagon, as long as it went out to occupy a position, after the launch, it would cause a second chaos. Zhang Liao didn't know what the result was, but now, he could only give it a try.

The infantry would attack from both flanks. According to possible accidents. Zhang Liao transferred an infantry regiment as a reserve. On each flank there were four infantry regiments thrown into battle. Their main task is to intersperse, and attack and defeat the Kwantung coalition forces in the middle, form a big riot, and expel the other party from here, and the goal can be temporarily set at Bishui Pass.

Zhang Liao is carefully preparing for this attack. Although many things were encountered for the first time, he felt that many things were extremely advantageous.

For example, his command could use the telephone to get in touch with the artillery unit directly. This new invention surprised Zhang Liao. But there aren't a lot of them. It would have been much better if we could have established direct contact with their regimental headquarters.

When Zhang Liao was actively preparing. Cao Cao and the martial republican army were formally established in some way.

"When we attack, Cao Cao's troops will not retreat, they will not attack, they will only hold their battalion headquarters. Therefore, our troops will directly bypass them and launch a larger attack. Shang Wu said.

"Is it dangerous to do this?" Jia Xu said worriedly.

"Don't worry, they don't have a lot of people, less than a thousand. Moreover, it is difficult to launch a larger-scale offensive, and the number of firearms and equipment is not very sufficient. Shang Wu said.

Regarding Jia Xu's worries, Shangwu didn't think it was necessary. Because Cao Cao's forces were no longer large enough for them to launch a larger-scale attack, Cao Cao was willing to accept aid from the Republican Army and the reform measures he wanted to take. In such a situation, Cao Cao is unlikely to launch a counterattack, because it is very inconsistent with the current situation.

"Do we really want to help Cao Cao?" Jia Xu then asked Shang Wu. Because the Ministry of Defense has drawn up a programme of assistance. The initial plan was to give Cao Cao the equipment of an infantry division and an independent brigade of the Republican army stationed here, which had too many weapons. Because there is a large inventory, in addition to this, military uniforms, military boots, all kinds of supplies.

The war is not over yet, and the Ministry of Defense has begun to count the supplies, because the logistics supply of the Republican Army is usually to produce more and more supplies, and when the war is over, it will be dealt with on a large scale.

The general market demand for such materials is very limited, and it is unlikely that so many materials will be digested at once, and most of them exist as aid materials.

In this case, it is better for the Republican Army to hand it over to Cao Cao, and at the same time establish a certain diplomatic relationship through this, and then break the regional balance.

Not only that, but the IRA hopes that through aid, the other side will have a greater buying sentiment, and then carry out economic exchanges and generate economic benefits, only in this way can the current balance of power be broken.

Shang Wu has such considerations. That's why there is such a way of assistance.

"However, simply putting one goal on one is still not good for us." Jia Xu said.

"And Yuan Shu, the other party is very interested in our weapons, I think we can sell some weapons and equipment to the other party, for example, artillery. For Cao Cao, we plan to export small-caliber artillery. Sangwu spoke his mind.

"In this way, the difference in difference can give us an advantage." Shang Wu said that different weapons are sold to different people. That's the strategy. Jia Xu thinks it's feasible. However, there is no way, and at the same time it is in the interests of the current Republican Army. After all, the IRA didn't have that much military power to expand again.
