The defensive position of the 9th Infantry Company of the 27th Infantry Regiment was about one hundred and fifty in front of them, where the defensive positions of the second platoon were built, and the third platoon also built positions on their flanks and rear flanks for cover, and the soldiers began to build defensive positions after occupying favorable terrain, and even the mortar platoon was deployed in front to increase fire cover.

All of them are working hard to build fortifications, and some are even actively taking action to solve the biggest problems, after all, these are the most beneficial things for them.

"Ding-ding." The sound of the sirens sounded, and everyone became nervous, and it seemed to them that there must be something serious that had put their situation in a tense situation, and all of them went into their combat positions. It turned out that there were more than fifty Bingzhou cavalry two miles away. They kept running back and forth to monitor the Republican Army's every move, but they were helpless against the defensive fortresses built by the Republican Army.

Because the opponent has been strengthening the defense, the cavalry attacked the strong fortress, and the threat was too great. In many cases, it is even very unfavorable.

Even so, their cavalry tried to attack, testing their opponents.

"Boom, boom." The cavalry quickly charged and attacked. They look extremely ferocious, and no one seems to be able to stop them from any military action. Such a military operation is quite powerful. In some of these cases, many of their positions would be favorable, but alas, they underestimated the Republican Army's defensive capabilities.

"Whoosh. Rumble. Rumble. "The first to attack was the mortar platoon, and although their artillery range was not very large, the maximum firing distance was only 700 paces, but it was enough to add more firepower to them.

Cannonballs falling from the sky exploded among the cavalry. The Huns didn't know how the damned Republicans had calculated so accurately, some shells could explode in the air, and the shrapnel produced was so powerful that just one shot was enough to stop the cavalry offensive. And when they attack once, they will suffer three such **** attacks. This was an extremely unbearable outcome for the Huns.

"Whoosh." A cavalry officer gave the signal, and after dropping a few corpses, they quickly disengaged from the battle. Because it needs to go on the offensive urgently, it's not fun at all. Then they ran to a safe distance and continued to monitor each other, and they couldn't get too close, for there were duels in the IRA, and their bullets could hit a man in the head at a staggering distance of one hundred and fifty paces, and if fired at seventy paces. They don't want to try that. For one of them had an unlucky fellow, just one hundred and fifty paces away, who was struck in the flesh. In the end, he committed suicide. The pain made the cavalry feel very bad.

Coupled with the presence of the Republican artillery, they are even more afraid to let them get closer. The two sides have been at a stalemate. The state of operations at the front is like this, and in such a situation, many things are difficult for them to cope with.

"Oooh oh. Come on. Wuhuan crumbs, come on. Grandpa is waiting for you! The IRA soldier shouted loudly as he jumped out of his trench. Some simply pee outside, provoking each other. But the cavalry only fought back angrily. Or even shoot some arrows. But those arrows simply could not harm the Republican soldiers, the distance was too far. Unless you use a crossbow, but if you use a crossbow, you can't achieve such an effect at all. Because the Republican Army will be armed with larger caliber artillery to bombard them. And that kind of guy. And there are not many state troops. A very unrealistic idea.

The cavalry was very aggrieved. But it was also helpless, the republican army was advancing little by little with the method of step-by-step, and the distance they advanced ranged from fifty to two hundred paces, and today they dug trenches, and every day they would continue to dig in another place, and the cavalry had nothing to do about it, because they could not find a suitable place to attack each other. The IRA simply doesn't give you a chance to go on the offensive. This is their current situation, and it makes them extremely difficult to control.

The state army can only watch the other side continue to establish defensive positions, advance, then establish defensive positions, and then advance, and so on, don't look at the distance of a day's advance is not very far, but a month, you see how far it is. The cavalry team has nothing to do about it, the reason is that they can't attack, if they attack the other side, there will be a large number of firearms to greet them, and some have not yet approached, they have already suffered heavy losses, the cavalry is not good at positional attack warfare, this is the infantry's business, but if the infantry is mobilized, they don't have a very good way. The reason is very simple, the infantry can't fight, and the number of troops required is quite amazing, so it is a miracle that the state army has not succeeded in doing anything at all.

"Hehe, those damn old guys, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's lack of cavalry, Lao Tzu would have to expel you." Zhou Cang said this after inspecting the forward position. The opposing cavalry was also extremely lax. They basically just look at it every day, get a little closer, and then come back. Because there are people in the Republican Army who come coldly. It's not easy to feel at this moment, and if you don't get it, you'll have to leave it here, so the best thing to do is to do nothing and just look at it, which is also extremely beneficial to them. Such a situation made them find it hard to believe.

It is in this situation that time is consumed.

Hexi Prefecture, the station of the 1st Cavalry Regiment. Ma Heng personally inspected the situation of the cavalry regiment, the number of cavalry has been greatly expanded, the number has exceeded 5,000 cavalry, and the money spent is also very large. There was a lack of cavalry in various local troops. In addition, the situation in Hexi Prefecture feels unstable, and it is not recommended for the Republican Army to use cavalry in a dispersed manner, in which case, the offensive ability of cavalry will be greatly reduced. Therefore, one problem that has not been properly dealt with is the dispersal of some cavalry units into various infantry divisions, and the cavalry regiments have always been treated with the demand to concentrate and become the main force of the First Army. That is, the direct team. at

In this way, another contradictory question arises, whether to divide or not to divide. If it is not divided, it will be used intensively, but the cavalry is currently in a state of combat readiness and is difficult to use. If it is divided, it will create a problem, once it encounters a large-scale war, such as the problem of the demilitarized zone in Hexi Prefecture, the cavalry troops can quickly react. Their swift occupation was either a blow to the military occupation of the Huns. Without such a military force, the demilitarized zone would be meaningless by infantry alone.

Ma Heng also knew that this problem was difficult to solve, so he came to inspect in the hope that through such a series of inspections, their situation would become extremely different, and even, in many cases, some measures should be taken to solve such problems, so that they could become properly resolved, and in some cases, their situation could become extremely favorable. In many cases, they can become much more advantageous.

At present, they have four cavalry battalions, and some military commanders have been sent back to participate in the study of military officers, and it is inevitable that the cavalry regiments will be expanded, and there will be a very large shortage of officers, and at the same time, they also need to study and study in terms of command. Perhaps the cavalry at this time was very weak. But in Ma Heng's view, how to use the cavalry troops well is the most headache.

Ma Heng decided to transfer two cavalry battalions to supplement a small number of combat units and expand the number. Because this way is the best. However, the issue of military spending, as well as the problems of training and operations, still need to be resolved.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"As far as the cavalry issue is concerned, the expansion is inevitable, and the current reorganization is underway, is it appropriate to transfer them?" Shang Wu asked.

"Well, I think it's more appropriate to do that, because this kind of situation is very beneficial to us, and in some situations like this, we can deal with more things properly, because many situations will have a lot of power for us." Jia Xu thought for a moment and said.

"We can draw two battalions, one for the mountain, and two separate infantry divisions, so that they can build up a cavalry regiment. And the first cavalry figure can be supplemented into a battalion, an artillery battalion to strengthen their firepower, as well as the ability to maneuver to fight. "Jia Xu has made adjustments in the establishment. The advantage of the Republican Army is their firepower, and the Republican Army that loses its firepower will be extremely weakened in its offensive nature, and in such a situation, increasing firepower, especially being integrated into an artillery battalion, is such a situation.

"Well, in that case, give them a lot of mobility. In this way, we try to compile it, and if it is not suitable, we will reform it. Shang Wu agreed. The pressure on the reform of the Republican Army is not very resistant, because what they need to increase is combat effectiveness. There was also not much pressure on the logistical side, which was much less pressure than the military reform of the imperial court. This is where the current advantage of the Republican Army lies, their system can still meet such a series of needs, and there is no system of drinking too much, so it is natural to make various attempts in all aspects, and such attempts are extremely beneficial to all parties, and this is where the advantage of the Republican Army lies.
