This gave the Kwantung coalition forces support and gave them a large advantageous position.

Although the creep tactic may seem very unseemly, and even seen as a cowardly tactic, it does play a big role, and it is still very obvious.

After all, they have reduced a lot of casualties, and a lot of people have survived it. Otherwise, many of them would have survived like this.

Zhang Jaw is waiting for reinforcements, and holding on is not a simple matter.

The trenches were extremely small, and they relied entirely on the courage of the soldiers, although the disparity in weapons also caused them a lot of trouble.

Dong Zhuojun actually adopted the tactics of sneak attack, and they didn't know where they were attacking. And then throw the shells, which is actually also a kind of their hand **. Then shouted and rushed over, as soon as this weapon exploded, it was a large number of casualties, and the soldiers in the trenches suffered a great loss, and they were rushed over at once, and they were caught off guard. If morale is low and the determination is not very high, it is easy to be killed by the other party.

And in the trenches, even if you have the strength to talk about it, you can't spread it.

In this regard, the tactic of opening the jaw is to keep a certain distance as much as possible. Sentinels are also increased. At the time of the battle. A counter-charge is launched from above the trench. Dig small holes on both sides of the trenches to evade, etc.

Such countermeasures suddenly gave Zhang Jaw a lot of confidence to hold on, and without such confidence, it really became difficult for them to maintain.

Zhang Jaw was struggling to hold this position, and reinforcements were quickly reinforced, and then the first line of defense was fought for.

Cao Cao held a telescope to view all the battle processes throughout the whole process, not only that, but he also firmly let his generals observe, first of all, let them understand that the future combat method is firearms, and firearms have great advantages over cold weapons. Second, the way of war has changed, and the kind of big melee they crave, although there is, is more inclined to be organized and disciplined. Although no one has ever seen a real regular battle, after all, Dong Zhuo has never seen it either. And the Kwantung Coalition Army, which was the learning party, naturally knew nothing. But for either side, their situation is still in a more favorable situation, and if they can handle these things properly, they may make greater progress.

The last point is to learn war in the midst of war, after all, Cao Cao does not know how to fight such a war. They are very passive, they are in a disadvantageous position in terms of weapons, it is difficult to grasp the initiative, and if they want to make some progress, the number of casualties will continue to increase. This is a point that many generals are unwilling to accept, but this point has to be accepted. War is like that.

"If we continue to fight like this, the coalition forces will wipe out all the people, and we will not be able to attack under Luoyang City. Dong Zhuo still has five lines of defense, not only that, but also Bishui Pass, if Dong Zhuo is willing, the entire Luoyang will also become a huge battlefield. In that case, our loss. Xi Zhicai said worriedly. Cao Cao was also worried about this. But this indifferent bloodshed will continue until the main generals, as well as the top brassips, are unable to change their consciousness. The casualties will increase a lot all at once. The war is likely to continue.

"In that case, it's going to be very difficult. But we don't have a good solution. Cao Cao also said helplessly, in this regard, he also became extremely helpless, if their situation can play a greater advantage, he would prefer to make greater concessions in weapons.

"I have a solution that is not the way to do it for the time being. Don't know if it's available? Xi Zhicai thought about it and said so.

"Oh. Let's hear it. Cao Cao said. Now he doesn't have a good way to use it. As long as it can change their current status quo. Cao Cao was still tolerable.

"The way we do it is by digging trenches. This effectively avoids the attack of artillery shells. Xi Zhicai said. Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he felt that this method was good. Yes, the trench created great difficulties for them, but at the same time, it also showed the importance of the trench, and if the personnel took refuge in the trench and advanced little by little, this was the best way for them. This can greatly reduce exposure to the impact of targets on the plains and wilderness. This can effectively protect them personally. This method is definitely a good way to do it.

"Yes, all we thought about before was a simple trench for defense. But it never occurred to us that the trench could be seen as an offensive weapon, for us. It's also a weapon," Cao Cao couldn't wait to give it a try. This method was an extremely beneficial result for Cao Cao. After all, there is no better way to solve such a problem. Cao Cao didn't know how to deal with such things.

In the era of firearms warfare, trench warfare was an inevitability, and it only developed into a different period of time.

In contrast, trench warfare has become extremely urgent for the Kwantung coalition forces, because they do not have an advantage in weapons, the traditional tactics are ineffective, and even if they do, they will pay an extremely heavy price, which is extremely unfavorable to the operation, and the strength of a battalion of 500 people will be quickly consumed in a battle. And this battalion is extremely difficult to build. It's a waste. It's an unacceptable outcome for anyone. After all, it didn't make you accept such a crazy way of fighting.

But the use of trenches can effectively avoid such battles, which is extremely advantageous for either side, and it is in such a situation that some changes take place, and it may be extremely fair for both sides. After all, war is meant to put forces in a state of equilibrium, and if such a balance can be achieved, they will definitely have something like this happening for the sake of such a war.

5th Infantry Division. Cao Ang's company is slowly recovering, thanks to the help of the medical team. I heard that the medical school sent many specialists to the front line to treat their influenza, and in the telegram, they prescribed targeted medicines.

Cao Ang drank the herbs for two days in a row and felt much better. The number of companies that have recovered is also increasing.

They also have milk to regain their strength. This is a special stockpile of milk powder for the treatment of the wounded, and now it is just right for them. Many people are drinking this for the first time. It's as white as flour, but it's more delicate than flour. There is a milky smell.

The efficiency of the Republican Army is very fast. With the help of railways. They can be transported directly from Luzhou to the front line. Of course, there are some horse-drawn carriages and trains along the way. However, they belong to a special group and can naturally speed up.

And that's not all. They would also bring more herbs with them, and this time they would deliver much faster than anything before.

In the following days, they were accompanied by a number of engineering experts who surveyed and surveyed some special sections. They often gather together to discuss something, and seem to be in a hurry, because they can still quarrel and sweat in such a cold situation.

The engineering challenges they encounter are very difficult, and in many cases, the engineering experts cannot guarantee that the project will be successful, and it requires more labor and machinery. The military said it would bring as much machinery as it could. But if you want to transport it comprehensively, you still can't do it. It's still more difficult.

Lijiazhuang. War Department.

"There are so many engineering challenges that we have encountered than we imagined." Jia Xu said.

"Most of them are building bridges, because the detour will add more engineering difficulty. And the construction of bridges will become much easier, and at the same time, they also recommend using some iron plates to expand the road surface. Even some special iron beams were used to widen the road as a roadbed. This requires more material to do this. Jia Xu said with the document.

"We have already calculated that we need to use trains to transport the materials, and we need at least more than 2,000 carriages to meet the basic needs, which may more than double if we encounter some engineering difficulties." Jia Xu said worriedly.

Shang Wu is extremely clear about this. And that's just the logistical needs of the battlefield, and if it's a war, they will encounter some engineering problems, whether they will need these practices as well.

What interested Sangmu was the Korean War Changjin Lake. For the volunteers, it was a big victory. But it was also a big win for the Marines, who used air transport to solve engineering problems. In this regard, Shang Wu is also very clear that the Republican Army will also reach such a state. But being limited to such a transport capacity is a big trouble for the Republican Army.

"We should try to satisfy them as much as possible, and I think that in the Ministry of Defense, or in the theater of operations, there should be a theater logistics command to coordinate such things, and we are responsible for mobilizing all kinds of resources in all regions to deal with all the material problems encountered in the rear of the battlefield and at the front. And on the battlefield, they are responsible for transportation, as well as direct transportation to the battlefield, mobilizing all resources, and we should think of logistics as a part of the war, an inseparable part, so that we can be in a very advantageous position. Shang Wu said. He knew very well that the logistical capacity of the Republican Army was the greatest guarantee.
