The reason why Shang Wu was so cautious was because the logistical supply of the republican army was far more difficult than that of the Hun cavalry. According to some intelligence. The supply method of the Hun cavalry was largely done by robbery. They are very destructive. The degree of harm is also very large. Coupled with their mobile and flexible combat methods, fighting in the plains, the advantage of the Republican Army is not too much.

On the contrary, the republican army is again more difficult to resupply. In addition to transporting food, they also need additional food supplies to the local area to avoid a greater disaster for the local area. Besides. Their logistical supply also includes the consumption of ammunition. This item accounts for half of the transportation proportions. This means that the republican army will be more difficult to supply again. Coupled with the limitations of the terrain, because the third arsenal has a certain degree of difficulty in production. This directly led to the difficulty of their attack. Weapons produced from the Jizhou Plain needed to cross the mountains twice to reach the front line. If you transport the wounded, the difficulty will increase again.

If the troops advance on a large scale and the logistics supply is unfavorable, this will directly lead to the superiority of the Republican Army, and the superiority in firearms cannot be brought into play due to the lack of ammunition.

The firepower output was the first step in the teaching of the IRA. If you can't even output firepower, the problem is very big. It is precisely with this in mind that this is the case. Shang Wu had to make such a view.

"Small sorties of troops can make the enemy relax their vigilance against us. In this way, we will also be able to develop better, rescue the local people, and develop our base areas. Jia Xu said. Originally, they did not dare to develop the base area. But one thing made Shangwu change his mind. This comes from Jia Xu's analysis.

According to Jia Xu's understanding. Emperor Ling of Han was actually a selfish man. Because he always does something for his own enjoyment that other ordinary people can't bear. Something to understand. But it was under such circumstances that they were even commended for the Republican Army's participation in Hedong. This made Jia Xu see through Emperor Han Ling's hole cards.

Emperor Ling of Han did not have many mobile forces in his hands to enter Hedong at all. This also means that there will be a large political vacuum after the attack of the White Polish army and the Huns.

Jia Xu actively instigated Shangwu to eat it and develop it into a base area first, and only after it became a factual basis did he let them solve some such things. After analyzing by Jia Xu's side, Shangwu also felt that what the other party said was very reasonable, no matter what, eating Hedong would be of great benefit to Shangwu, after all, he wanted to enter the Hetao area. Without such a clear route, it is simply impossible to follow.

"Hmm. In this way, it will take more time, and there is no way to do it, and the replenishment of ammunition will have to wait until the third arsenal is put into production, and the situation will not improve. In addition to this, we need a lot of food, and at the same time, the cavalry units need a certain process of maturation. These factors add up. It's decided, and our situation is not very good. Shang Wu said. Most of Shang Wu's considerations were decided in this way based on logistical considerations. In the event of a large-scale sortie, not only is it risky, but at the same time, the logistical supply is unbearable.

"In this case, I will tell Ma Heng about our considerations, and let him do a full picture of the situation of the troops, so that they can understand our current situation." Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. OK. Shangwu nodded.

"What happened to the laborers from the north?" Shang Wu asked at this time.

"All of a sudden, nearly 50,000 people were consumed, and you know, now that spring is on, the land needs to be leveled in many places. Cultivate. Especially the Yuan clan in the north, which we just occupied, really set the two places. A large amount of land is idle. Local officials sold them all. Having made a fortune, these places require more labor. There are also people from our agricultural companies, and they also need a lot of people. So, a large number of situations are solved in such situations. Jia Xu explained.

"Hmm. I understand. Shang Wu said.

"This is just our current situation, and what I am worried about is that it is also the same situation in Luzhou. Therefore, many people began to actively go to Luzhou, and one of my thoughts is this, we are going to do it as fast as possible. To meet the needs of agricultural production, we can meet the rest, and if we can't meet it, we will be seconded from Julu. What do you think? Jia Xu asked. Jia Xu is worried about food. The larger the population, the more unsolvable the food problem becomes.

"It's all about food. However, the population cannot be solved in this way, and some conditions in Hedong need to be restored as soon as possible. The food gap is still very large. Shang Wu said worriedly.

"All the food in the surrounding area has been absorbed by us. I think that if you absorb it again, you will be further away. Jia Xu said worriedly.

"This question depends on the businessman. If among the merchants, we can solve our meat problem on a large scale. That's a lot easier. Shang Wu said. At present, the IRA still lacks meat in its food. The best thing a soldier can do is to be able to eat eggs, but there are not many eggs. In short, supplies are still scarce, and in many cases, they have money, but they may not be able to buy it. This made Shangwu and them very worried.

Tulingzi. Blind Zhang, they drove the Huns away again.

The Huns learned shrewdly. They are constantly learning about war, learning how to fight, how to defeat the enemy. They are smart, not stupid, and at the same time a difficult opponent. They surrounded the small heights. They abandoned their horses and dug a large number of trenches. Because they found that the trenches dug by the IRA could largely offset the shelling. So, they hid a large number of horses. All the cavalry dismounted and dug trenches. By transporting troops through trenches, they reduced many casualties. Republican shells are hitting fewer and fewer places.

The artillery also largely stopped shelling. Four guns, scrapped one. The situation in one other course is not very rosy.

"Platoons report casualties." Zhang said as the blind man touched the wound on his thigh. He was also stabbed. He was scratched by a Hunn, but he pierced the neck with the spear in his hand. The Republicans are all desperate to play, especially their assassination techniques, although there are only three simple moves. Rush. Thorn, flash. All three moves are killer moves. There are no defensive tricks at all. The Huns rarely saw such a situation. Therefore, after attacking many times, the casualties of the Huns were also very large.

The corpses were all collected en masse by the Huns. They burned their bodies in the distance, and the bodies piled up high. Zhang Blind estimated that there were at least 1,500 people, and most of them were good deeds done by artillery, and artillery is really a good thing.

"In a row, there are five more people. All muskets were scrapped. A squad leader reported. Their platoon commander has already died. It's jumping into the pile of enemies with a ** bag. At that time, the Huns had already occupied all their positions. No reinforcements, no fire support. In an extremely dangerous situation, the platoon commander rushed in with a few people holding ** bags. After the rumbling explosion. The Huns were blown up to madness. They had never seen someone who didn't want to die like that. It's crazy. None of them had ever seen anyone fighting like this. A platoon recaptured its position. But they also suffered heavy casualties of their own. There were only five people in the platoon, and only one squad leader held the position of platoon leader. A row, equivalent to nothing. No. They also have a person, also a platoon.

Hear reports of such casualties. Zhang Blind couldn't speak. He felt like something was stuck in his throat. Say it, it's really unspeakable.

"Two, two rows." Blind Zhang asked.

"Sir, there are thirteen more in the second platoon, but they are all wounded. Firearms are also useless. **There are two more in the pack and five more spears. A corporal said. The second platoon commander was also killed. He single-handedly picked and killed five Hun soldiers, and was a good hand. When that kid was a bandit, he had a good marksmanship. Pity. There are too many enemies. The force of their impact was too small. Zhang was blind and speechless, and there seemed to be a lot of people in the second row, but all of them were seriously injured. Many people can't get up because they are injured and they are desperately thirsty. Some have lost consciousness. Blind Zhang suddenly felt sorry for his brothers.

"Three rows." Zhang was blind and couldn't shed tears.

"Sir. There were also two of us in the third row. A sergeant said as he lifted a soldier who had been blinded in both eyes. The soldier was bombed, and his luck was good. Rush into the pile of enemies with the ** bag. It was supposed to have been blown up. At the last minute, he ran fast. Unfortunately, his eyes were blinded by the flying dust. But the soldier still asked to take part in the fighting. He was still holding a ** bag in his arms. As long as he explains what enemy is in what direction, he will rush over and die with the enemy.

The third row was almost gone. Because they are reserves, and because they are reserves, they come to battle with the determination to die every time they attack. The officer had long since died. Zhang is blind and doesn't know why he doesn't have it. Anyway, not a single one surrendered, and the corpses of many officers were nowhere to be found. Zhang Blind wants to cry. They are all good brothers.

"Woo. Whining. One soldier couldn't help but cry. The casualties were too heavy.

"Don't cry. Cry what to cry about. Crying is not our wild wolf company. A veteran scolded.

"I think, my father. Daddy, Mom. The child can't be filial. The soldier cried out. Everyone was silent.
