Maheng Forward Command.

"In my opinion, this should be done, these Hun cavalry are very difficult to deal with, if they are scattered, we want to ambush them, it is simply a big luck. I finally seized an opportunity from the other side, and I think we should slow down and attract them to come over little by little, so that there will be such opportunities to solve these problems. Ma Heng said.

"Sir, let's do this like fishing, although all the small fish come here, but these small fish are enough for us to complete the task. According to the report of the mountain brigade, more than two hundred cavalry have entered Baili, and if the nearby Hun cavalry enters, I think the situation may become bigger, and in that case, a larger battle may be formed. A combat staff officer said.

"Hmm. That's how it should be, in this case, our appetite should be bigger. Ordered the artillery units to quickly advance to the Baili line, the 6th Infantry Brigade, under the command of the Mountain Brigade. Ma Heng said.

"Yes. Sir. A staff officer then began to draw up orders for battle. Ma Heng very much agrees with the Red Lady's approach, because they need to eat the enemy's forces little by little. Five hundred is not much, but it is still difficult to find these five hundred people on the entire battlefield. Since the enemy himself has sent it. It's not something they can handle.

White Li. The fighting continues here, but not as intense as it used to be.

Most of the nearby villagers have gathered here.

"Kid, get up. Get up. Don't fall asleep. Don't go to sleep. A lady shouted loudly. But helplessly, one Republican soldier was still killed. The eldest lady was very sad. Treat these Republican soldiers as their own sons.

"Woo." Several women in the neighborhood were in tears. Some villagers spontaneously took out rapeseed oil that they were reluctant to use and lit lanterns for them. The old man also took out the coffin board that he was reluctant to use. They felt that these Republican children had died for them, and that they were still young, some in their teens. But it stopped at that moment forever. Nothing in the white. They all heard. Some nearby villages were also attacked, but most of them were blocked by the IRA while they were in Baili.

Some women took off their IRA uniforms. Dry yourself. They washed their uniforms, and when they died, their bodies became stiff and it was difficult to put them on, but the nearby villagers still tried to put them on as much as possible. Because these people died for them.

The Republican Army fought against the Hun cavalry, and the casualty ratio was basically 1 to 1. And this is when the Republican soldiers have muskets. These scattered Huns were their elite cavalry units, otherwise, they would not have dispersed like this to loot nearby villages. They went all the way, killed all the way, and some villages were killed in their entirety. These people are brutes. Murderous brute.

The elders of the nearby villages knew that if it weren't for the IRA, they might have been killed. The whole family is gone. The IRA organized them to retreat to the mountains, where it was relatively safe. The villagers obeyed the command of the IRA. Because the IRA is trustworthy, from the Republican soldiers lying on the ground, they know that this is their own ranks.

The Republican Army strictly enforces its own battlefield discipline. The soldiers did not enter the houses to rest, in order to prevent them from stealing the money and food of the local people. Strict military discipline was met with the support of the local population. Plus the battle was raging. The Republican Army spread among the people at once, and they spread to all corners of the country at once. Hot meals were delivered from nearby villages. The Republican Army was for them to resist the Huns.

The second battalion suffered greater casualties. When they ate a hot meal, the grievances in their hearts were resolved at once. Their previous incomprehension vanished at this moment. They felt that it was well worth it.

The most touching thing is that the locals buried the fallen soldiers as if they were relatives. Although it is still a war zone. But the local elders insisted on building a mourning hall. The vigil for them is a rare honor in the local area. And the locals insisted on doing so, and their previous incomprehension had already chilled the hearts of these fallen soldiers. Now they have to repay these soldiers with their actions.

"Sir, sir." A middle-aged man with a few young men met a major of the Republican Army.

"Hear about me. We know that you are all fighting the Huns for us, so let these young people follow you. You are good troops. Our village, we all support it. The middle-aged man said excitedly to the major.

"Sir, if you want us, we can also fight the Huns. These Huns are beasts. They are not people. The young men said excitedly. All they held in their hands were simple sticks and hoes, but at this moment, they firmly believed that only by joining the Republican Army could they ensure the safety of their homeland.

"This. Fellows, it's dangerous to fight. The major said in embarrassment. On the one hand, the troops do need to be replenished, but on the other hand, these people are soldiers with no combat experience, and if they are sent to the battlefield, they will be killed very quickly. This is very unworthy, the major thinks that after a certain amount of training, it is good to have a certain sense of militia combat. The mountain brigade had been supplemented with some soldiers, most of whom were local militiamen, and they were able to receive better training in peacetime. The combat effectiveness is still relatively strong. But let a group of people who have never fought in the war join the team, they really think that there will be a big mess.

"Sir, we know. But we joined to protect us and kill these Huns. Many young people said excitedly.

"What's the matter?" At this time, Zhang Xian came here and asked. He needed to see what was going on at the front. Otherwise, they are blind commands.

"Sir, they want to join our brigade." The major saluted at this time.

"Hmm." Zhang Xian just nodded. The young man surrounded Zhang Xian at once. They felt that this chief, who could speak, must be a big official.

"Sir, take us. I've already said it. If you can't take it, you'll make people laugh when you go back. Many young people said excitedly. They think the IRA is a force that can win battles, look at their beautiful uniforms, their boots, and their mountain hats. They had never seen such hats before. Everyone agrees that the IRA is the best force.

"Fellows, fellows, hear about me. You are welcome to join the army, but we can only accept half of it. Zhang Xian said.

"Ahh Half, no. Gotta ask for me. Otherwise, if I go back, my father and mother will beat me to death. A young man said anxiously.

"Quiet, be quiet, I know what you want, I agree with it, but I can only ask for half of it. For the rest, you have to go back, establish a militia, each village, establish a militia platoon, a militia company, and then organize it to protect the safety of the villagers, and organize the people to move to a safe place in the mountains. Some people are also needed to transfer some food, and there can be no major catastrophe. This is a necessary means to protect the family. Zhang Xian shouted. After listening to this, everyone felt that it made sense.

"Go. Create all the cultural instructors in your battalion, let them publicize our policies, as well as the basic organization of the militia, and let them enter the state as soon as possible. There's still a war going on here, so be careful. Let's go back. Zhang Xian said. Only the young people still insisted on staying. Zhang Xian agreed. But just let them follow some veterans to do some logistical operations, Zhang Xian has more important things to do.

"How? How many enemies are there? Zhang Xian asked Major.

"Report sir." The major saluted.

"This is a war zone, no need to salute. Just tell me about the situation. Zhang Xian asked.

"The enemy estimated that there were more than fifty people, and they were all in the large courtyard behind, and the courtyard wall was a little high, and it was difficult to get in, unless there was artillery, or blasting. But it was a small square, and we wanted to attack at night. Blow up a hole. The Major said.

"Tighten your vigilance and don't attack. Hit their cold guns with some good soldiers. Wait to solve them with artillery. Zhang Xian saw those soldiers who died in battle, and he felt distressed. Those were their good fighters, and there was no such thing. He's so distressed.

"This." The major was somewhat incomprehensible.

"We're going to surround the area and send reinforcements, that is, we want to fish, and you eat all the bait. The fish will not come. Zhang Xian explained.

"Yes. Sir. The Major hastened to lower his saluting hand. This is a war zone. They are not allowed to salute. If you do that, you will kill your own commander.

"The casualties are a bit too big." Zhang Xian looked at the corpse of the soldier covered with a white cloth on the ground and said bitterly.

"Sir, those Huns are still very good at fighting, most of them use bows and arrows to attack, and their archery skills are very high. Within thirty to fifty steps. Shoot almost anyone. The worst thing is that those cavalry who run out, if they have horses, will use projectiles, and our men will suffer a big loss. Many soldiers were shot through the neck by the opponent's bows and arrows, which was really fucking infuriating. The Major said with annoyance.

Zhang Xian helplessly patted the other party's shoulder and comforted the other party. They also thought of such a situation. But they still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Hun cavalry.
