Both Shang Wu and Jia Xu knew very well that doing so might cause great trouble for their militia forces in Luoyang, but judging from the current situation, it did not seem to be the best solution, because such a situation was a helpless choice for them.

However, in order to achieve such a goal, the greatest need is still the advance of the main force of the Republican Army, and it seems impossible to rely solely on the militia to achieve such an effect.

But for the advance of the main forces, they need a lot of logistical support, not only on the road, but also on the improvement of materials and so on.

The southern foot of Taihang Mountain. The battle group led by Zhang Liao was driven off the train in a daze. Walking distance here. But here, no one received them, and no one gave them orders. Zhang Liao didn't know who to find to build.

Because the whole southern foothill looks a little chaotic.

"Sappers, we need professional sappers. Who are the sappers? Several gendarmes shouted loudly in frustration.

"I'm sorry, sir, are you sappers?" The two gendarmes asked Zhang Liao curiously.

"No, we're grenadiers, replenishments, and some logistical transport experts." Zhang Liao said.

"Oh. Trouble sir. The gendarmerie said. Then they quickly went looking for the engineers.

Zhang Liao watched helplessly as the gendarmes left here, and he had to find the relevant headquarters.

In Zezhou, Zhang Liao was temporarily promoted to the position of lieutenant colonel, and he would lead a team of more than 600 people into a battle group. It was also a special reinforced battalion, and in addition to the three hundred grenadiers, they also had reinforcements from the east of the river, most of whom were hunters. Skilled at long-range sniping, they come from some special military training bases. There are more than a hundred people. Technology doesn't say.

Then there are more than a hundred reinforcements, all of them are new recruits, they can't do anything, they can transport some ammunition, wounded soldiers, Zhang Liao made such an arrangement. There are also some drivers from the northern region of Luzhou. They were previously a convoy. After the convoy was disbanded, it entered the army. Then it was temporarily integrated into the hands of Zhang Liao, who had all kinds of talents in his hands, but they did not know that they belonged to that army.

A large amount of ammunition, supplies were piled up here, and field hospitals were built here. The engineers hurried over, and they commanded some militiamen to lay up the railroad tracks. So that when they fought later, the supply was greatly improved.

Train transport was indeed the first aid to the war. This is an extremely beneficial outcome for anyone.

Zhang Liao led his team to still be swaying. The Republican Army, on the other hand, was actively looking for engineers, who urgently needed to be transported to the front because they needed to cross the Yellow River, and at the same time, proposed some technical improvements to the engineering problems they encountered in leveling the roads.

The militia will only continue to contribute, but how effectively they level the road to the standard. They don't know about that.

Shilipu. The temporary station of the 5th Infantry Division of the Republican Army was located here. Cao Ang's company also took a temporary break here.

"Our troops are on the banks of the Yellow River, which is only ten miles away. For us, this position is a charge distance. Reconnaissance detachments have taken control of there and even conducted local reconnaissance. But the problem is, we just can't cross the river. Cao Ang wrote in his diary.

The weather is getting warmer. There are many places that are no longer able to get through. Especially large troops, but also artillery. It was simply impossible to cross the river, and the only way was to build a pontoon bridge. In this way, the large army can pass effectively.

But when the troops advanced rapidly, the engineers were left far behind. So, Cao Ang and their troops had to stop and wait for the arrival of the engineering troops. It's the only best way to do it.

"In the past period of time, our fighting has been going well, everything is going as we are maneuvering. Divided and encircled, boldly advancing, Dong Zhuo's army in Hanoi, were all some miscellaneous troops. They are easily routed by us, their weapons are very backward, and their combat qualities are not high. It's easy to beat them. "Cao Ang recorded the condition of their troops.

"Despite the fact that the entire company had two killed and twelve wounded, the morale of our troops was still high. They were highly motivated to fight, and they hoped to be able to quickly cross the Yellow River into Luoyang. Many soldiers were inquiring about what to eat in Luoyang, and they were ready to eat a big meal. Cao Ang wrote.

The morale of the soldiers was indeed very high. The advance of the Republican army was extremely smooth, and the resistance encountered was extremely slight, if not at all.

Those who tried to resist were defeated, and at the same time, they could not retreat to the south bank of the Yellow River and into the mountains. Dong Zhuo ordered a large number of bandits, and they left Taihang Mountain one after another and entered the plains. The bandits were inadvertently attacked by the Republican Army. Because if they want to enter the mountainous areas of the Taihang Mountains in the north, they need to cross a large number of guerrilla areas and face more militia forces.

Before, the village was where they settled. Now, the villages and the guerrilla zones formed by the villages have become the greatest obstacles, and the village defense points formed by the militia have become the most difficult strongholds to conquer, in addition to the attacks carried out by the patrols of the Republican Army. The bandit forces have been devastated, and many have been imprisoned, and it is said that more than 20,000 local armed forces have been taken in by the Republican Army.

After sweeping away these local forces, the republican army had only one enemy, the Yellow River.

"Although our team has collected a large number of ships, those ships can only support a small part of our men to advance, and the personnel of the reconnaissance detachment pass through those ships, but their ability to pass is too limited. It will take us much longer to build a bridgehead. Cao Ang wrote. Just because they lacked enough engineering troops, it was difficult to erect pontoon bridges to cross the river, and the rationalized division of labor became a burden at this time. This has to be considered a dark humor.

"Next, we will definitely cross the Yellow River." Cao Ang wrote. But how the battle will play next. This is what everyone wants, and morale is high and gives the soldiers of the IRA hope for the prospects of the war.

And in the rear, the Handan securities market.

Military-related stocks will rise massively, for the simple reason that war stimulates the arms trade, as well as military demand. In such a situation, the military factory is definitely profitable.

"See. We all like war, war brings a great deal of stimulation, demand stimulation, military factories will keep producing, and the profits we have obtained several times have come from war. One trader enthused because he had made a lot of money from stocks. These banknotes can meet their various needs.

War stimulates the development of the stock market, and rapid rise has become a law. But all of them are only interested in profit on paper. And very few people can take the initiative to spend it. That's just paper profit, that's all.

Li Li is different. He took out the 120,000 he earned. He's going to have a wedding recently. The two sides have already made a marriage. She is a beautiful businessman's daughter. Only businessmen will know how the securities industry makes money, and they need such talents. But for the average family, this is not a serious industry, because there is no real money in it. In this regard, Li Li also felt indifferent. After all, he doesn't need everyone to understand how he makes money. He needs a lot of things to do. And not to explain.

At a time when everyone is crazy. Li Li was worried, he was worried that the stock market would react somewhat, for example, the Handan Iron Works, he had risen too much. In one day, it rose by more than 30 points, which means that if you hold more shares of Handan Iron Works, you will make a lot of money. It may only be possible to get all the wages of fifty workers for a year in one day.

But it's just crazy. Li Li felt very scared, he knew that if the rise was too strong, the next situation would be very unoptimistic, but it would still take a long time to wait for a full shorting.

He began to look for stocks that were bewitched by low prices. For example, he saw bank stocks among the penny stocks. In particular, stocks such as Hedong Bank.

Bank stocks have been extremely active stocks in the past.

But now, bank stocks are not active at all, which is a very strange situation. Few people may have noticed such a point, but Lily did. He believes that there are some quotes in this.

But he needs to wait, after a significant retracement of the market. He can enter and do it, because only by redrawing can more risk pressure be released.

It just so happened that he needed to take a break and get married. He's amassed enough money to do these things. In some of these cases, this is an extremely favorable situation for them.

The war is still going on. There was constant good news from the front line from the Republican Army, and there was a lot of news, and no bad news appeared. This in itself is a risk.

After all, war is inherently a risky thing. However, here, as with the high emotions of the front-line soldiers, many things are hidden in such high emotions.

Outside the Bishui Pass, Cao Cao gathered his subordinates. There are not many people, only in the early 2,000s. It was estimated that it was only the size of a regiment, but he was determined to attack. He hopes he can lead it. Get more people involved. This is one of Cao Cao's personal hopes.
