Li Jiazhuang, Zhang Liao in the military academy is very busy, he is now an acting staff officer of the Republican Army Special Brigade, because he is still a cadet of the military academy and must complete a certain course.

The work of the staff officers is not very easy to do, and there are many work on the map, a large number of operational reports are written, and there are even some technical issues that need to be discussed with the research institutes and engineers. There is a lot of information ingested, and it is difficult for a person like him to complete it, and even in many cases, he himself does not know how to accomplish such a thing.

The difficulty can be imagined. But Zhang Liao is painful and happy, because in a stressful environment, people's potential will be brought into full play, and in such a situation, the amount of knowledge they absorb is quite large, and in such a situation, their situation will meet all kinds of needs to the greatest extent. That's what the IRA needs to do most right now.

Although Zhang Liao does not know what special operations are, they can be studied through war, for example, their combat object is the Montenegrin Army, the Montenegrin Army is a group of bandits, outlaws, their discipline is the worst, regular combat is not the opponent of the Republican Army, but if they are purely defensive, it is difficult to shake them with regular combat methods, because their nests are built on complex mountainous terrain.

If regular warfare is used, the Republican Army, which is unfamiliar with the terrain in the first place, will suffer a great loss. The great advantage of the IRA in this is that they have extremely complete operational reports. When the mountain brigade exterminated the local bandits, they submitted a large number of combat reports and summary reports, which were an important source of information for Zhang Liao's research.

The Republican Army provided such first-hand detailed information, such as terrain surveys, and post-war summaries, etc., even in the imperial army, it may not be able to be so detailed, especially a large number of operational notes, battles can sometimes be specific to a squad, and the regimental headquarters has operational staff officers to write battle reports. Summary report. This allowed Zhang Liao to look at the same war from various angles, which had never been done before. This is an invaluable asset, and the IRA has summed it up from these details.

For example, mountain warfare lies in the complex terrain, and it is very unfavorable to enter rashly, especially when a large army enters rashly, and before the formation of the mountain brigade, they were local bandits, and they were familiar with the situation of the other side, so they also carried out a considerable reconnaissance. At the same time, they also paid a certain number of casualties, most of them were scouts, which shows that the difficulty of mountain combat is very great, because the opponent can use the complex terrain to establish a variety of mechanisms, and the enemy is in the dark, and they can not effectively fight, and there are all kinds of dangers in the mountains, such as poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, wild beasts, and natural disasters are also one of them.

In such a complex combat terrain, even if an infantry division is mobilized, it may not be very effective. Therefore, it is necessary to use some special means, to use people who are equally good at fighting in mountain combat situations.

Zhang Liao wrote in his notebook that the fighters had to be agile and have a compulsive physique, and the best of them were the Orions, because they had a great advantage in this area, they could climb rocks and walls, and adapt to operations in extremely harsh terrain. This kind of combat is a situation that is difficult for others to deal with.

In addition, the team members should also be agile and good at improvising in terms of intelligence, because under the special terrain, there are too many complex things, even if they have made various plans. There are still a lot of things that can't be predicted, and that's the one thing they worry about the most, so it's still important to memorize the ability to recruit soldiers.

It's the human factor. Such people are being selected nervously, and in this regard, some veterans have been postponed for retirement, which can be regarded as a kind of luck for some veterans. After all, they are still reluctant to leave such a combat unit.

In terms of weapons, because of the small number of people, the weapons must be sophisticated, and in addition to the use of normal firearms, they also need some special weapons.

The engineers of the Republican Army borrowed from Dong Zhuo's three-eyed weapon, and they developed a three-barreled firearm that used flintlock attacks.

Of course. They also plan to promote the use of a new weapon, the use of ** firearms, which is proposed by Shang Wu in chemistry, but the use of ** is more expensive, which requires some copper resources. The technical aspects are not mature enough, but sometimes it is obvious, for example, that it can shoot in a humid environment. And most importantly, the rate of fire increased, which was an improvement, but alas, there were few of them and they were completely handmade. Mass production is impossible.

Such weapons can only be supplied to special forces.

In addition to this, reconnaissance support will also be provided by the air force, which will carry out a comprehensive reconnaissance of the terrain, but unfortunately, there is no photographic equipment yet. There are some things that cannot be collected. Shang Wu also lacked some chemical stuff, and if he had, he would use the last camera to the fullest extent possible for reconnaissance, as they were too lacking in intelligence to support it. Aerial reconnaissance can only be carried out with the human eye. Moreover, the airship flies over the other party, which can easily arouse the vigilance of the other party. This is an extremely bad thing. In order not to cause anomalies in the combat area, they also have to carry out all kinds of feints. The results of the investigation can be imagined. But it opens up a new way of thinking, which is a good idea.

Of course, the engineering units also joined in, and some blasters were involved, but **did not use the high-spirit**, because it was still extremely unstable. It is easy to make mistakes or even accidents when carrying, and in desperation, they can only use the traditional way to blast. But the amount required is quite large, and in such a case, they can only do that. After all, the engineering unit is a special combat unit, and their enthusiasm is far more advantageous than anyone else's at any time.

Of course. Zhang Liao also noticed a lot of other details, such as signal flares and signal flags. These are important liaison attacks, and even, he is applying for carrier pigeons, and the IRA has begun to establish some special combat units, which are owned by special operations teams, including carrier pigeon teams, and they are responsible for feeding carrier pigeons to deliver messages.

Independent Divisional Divisional Division. Zhang Liao was not alone in studying the front-line battlefield, but also Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao was forcibly sent to the rear to study. Here's the command from above. Because the above is really worried that all kinds of accidents will happen to this old bastard, and it will be beneficial for everyone to send him away as soon as possible.

The independent division lost a squad of troops, although the strength is not much, it is normal, but they can't swallow this breath, their defensive forces have to shrink back, all according to the company platoon tactical defensive positions to build, the republican army moves quickly, which makes the state army suddenly have no target to attack, they can't bypass the opponent's defensive line, both sides are mountainous, the terrain occupied by the republican army is very strange, they have mountain cover on both sides, but the state army does not, only constant pressure, In order to maintain such a posture, both sides are only tentative, and they have no intention of making large-scale moves. Coupled with the fact that the Republican defense is indeed impeccable, their situation has always been in a favorable situation, and such a situation is indeed very favorable to them.

But in order to reverse some of these trends all at once, they still need to do many, many new things to achieve such a situation.

However, simple defense is not enough, they need to attack, however, they are infantry, to deal with cavalry, they must have their own defensive positions, without defensive positions, it is difficult to advance, and the distance of advance is too close, there is no effect, but if it is too far, it is out of the range of fire attack, it is difficult to advance on a large scale, and it takes too long.

"Sir, the only way at present is to take it step by step, we advance little by little, compress the opponent's living space, and let the opponent continue to shrink their combat area." An operations staff officer said. In the absence of the necessary cavalry, relying on the infantry, it is simply impossible to adopt the kind of battle mode of opening and closing on both sides, because the cavalry of the other side is more mobile and more disadvantageous. Therefore, there is only one way to fight.

"Do you think this way of fighting is useful?" Zhou Cang asked.

"Sir, this is the only way to go. We can only force the other side, after all, our current situation is still unfavorable, and the combat effectiveness of the state army is not weak, and they also use the cavalry units that they are very good at, once the other side grabs the gap, that kind of attack, we definitely can't stand it. So, the only way is to do it. After all, our situation is in an unfavorable and passive state, while the situation of the state army is very active, and we can only achieve such a goal through time delay, so that our situation can improve. The staff officer said.

"Hmm." Zhou Cang nodded, but Zhou Cang was very unwilling. Because they have suffered. They have to get it back, but how can they give each other a big, set a trap? This seems to be very unworkable, the reason is very simple, the other party is the state army, they have extremely rich combat experience, they are different from the Huns, the Montenegrin army, the gap in combat quality can be seen at once. If you want to reverse it, you need to find another way.

Zhou Cang entered into thinking, but he is not the kind of wise general, because this is very brain cells, fortunately, their combat staff can make up for the gap in this regard, naturally Zhou Cang is very relieved, but how to achieve such a result, which makes Zhou Cang still a little incomprehensible.
