Inside Ma Heng's headquarters. Because of the temporary end of a major war, the staff officers took a temporary break. A series of subsequent battle reports came to him, and Ma Heng looked at a report in his hand and moistened his eyes.

The mountain brigade reported on their heroic company, the twenty-fifth infantry regiment, the seventh infantry company. That is, the heroic deeds of the blind infantry company. Although there is a certain suspicion of the battle report that a company blocked more than 5,000 people and killed and injured nearly 2,000 opponents. But see the casualty figures of the 7th Infantry Company, as well as the course of the battle. Ma Heng was silent. He watched it with red eyes.

The force was almost completely annihilated. In fact, there aren't many bones left. If it hadn't been for the fact that some recruits had been withdrawn at the beginning, a certain number of veterans, the 7th Infantry Company might have been wiped out long ago. The price they paid was enormous, but they taught the Huns a hard lesson. They must not be conquered. They have a will to fight like steel. Not only these, but their self-sacrificing spirit is also commendable.

The Mountain Brigade, an infantry brigade composed mostly of bandits, was able to produce such astonishing results. Ma Heng felt that they should be rewarded.

"Send this out, send it in full. Send it to headquarters. Ma Heng thought about it and handed over the sorted documents to the communications staff officer.

"Full hair?" The communications staff officer asked worriedly. He felt that it was too wasteful to send all the documents of an infantry company, after all, such a thing would not have a good impact on them.

"Full hair. Don't ask any more. These things are all sent out, and they deserve such treatment. Ma Heng said.

"Yes, sir." The communications staff officer no longer asked. Because it doesn't make sense at all. The horse sat sideways in front of the fire. He didn't know if it was the IRA who changed them, or if they changed the IRA. One last question. Ma Heng himself couldn't answer, yes, what is the Republic, and what did they come here for. That's what they're fighting for.

Before, they didn't know anything. It's just that in order to survive, now, their situation has become much better, and the number of troops has expanded a lot at once, but this fighting spirit and fighting will are still being passed on. What is a Republic. What is a Republic? Ma Heng didn't know.

"Sir, this is the latest telegram. It was said that several reporters from the "New Dao Daily" were going to come for an interview. "A staff officer came over and handed Ma Heng some things.

"Don't interview me, I don't have anything to say, let them go to the front, go to the front-line troops, go interview the Seventh Company. Seven companies of the twenty-fifth infantry regiment. That's how it was arranged. Ma Heng said.

"Sir, is that so?" The other party asked worriedly.

"That's all." Ma Heng said disregardedly. He believes that he is not a hero, but the soldiers on the front line are. They sacrificed a lot.

Li Jiazhuang, the War Department, Shang Wu and Jia Xu discussed the issue of project construction while walking, Shang Wu still decided to hand over some projects to some engineering companies to carry out, and the government and engineering companies adopted a cooperative way to build roads, and then build toll stations to collect fees and maintain the basic use of roads.

This is the best way at present, because the financial strength is extremely weak, and the road situation has seriously affected the front-line combat logistics supply, in order to completely solve such a problem, the best way to solve it is to solve it in this way, because only in this way can their situation become better.

"I approve of such a thing. But the railroad thing is on hold for a while, we really don't have that many rails for this. Jia Xu shook his head and said.

The use of rails is mainly concentrated in the coal sector. Shang Wu has been to the coal producing area of Handan, where the coal excavation speed is very fast, but the transportation is very slow, especially the use of some wheelbarrows, such transportation is difficult to guarantee. Shang Wu designed a kind of transport car with rails, in fact, it still relies on animal power, and manpower as the power, in some places with large slopes, it also needs a manpower winch to pull. But the advent of the railroad car made people see. As long as you are willing to use your brains and invent, many problems can be solved. In such a situation, there are simply too many problems for them to solve. Too much.

However, the cost of the railroad track is also relatively large, if such a section of railway cars is really laid, I am afraid that the output of the Handan Iron Works will have to quadruple on the existing basis before it can be realized. And the monthly output of the iron plant is really not too much, plus the use of military factories, the construction sector, as well as the agricultural sector, basically, it is no longer enough to be able to do such a thing. Therefore, the only way to do this was to expand the scale of the iron factory, or to set up a branch plant again. It's the most important thing.

"Well, it would be nice if I could surround a part of it." As soon as Shang Wu came in, he heard Cao Cao holding a telegram on the sand table.

"Huh. What's going on? Shang Wu looked at Cao Cao and asked.

"Hmm. You've fought a good battle. Especially the encirclement point reinforcement. Put it in little by little. Let the Huns suffer a big loss. Cao Cao said.

"I thought, if we can surround a big one, I think, we can basically eat 5,000 to 8,000 Huns, so that they can basically retreat. In many areas, it may be difficult to fight. Cao Cao said excitedly. He knew that the fighting power of the Republican army was very strong, and they only invested one infantry brigade. Two infantry regiments, followed by an infantry regiment to support, they ate more than 1,200 cavalry of the Huns. It's all cavalry. Although there are many coincidental factors, in Cao Cao's opinion, these factors are not very difficult for him to do.

"Huh. Brother Mengde. You're thinking great. Shang Wu looked at Jia Xu, and then said with a wry smile.

"But we can't proceed with the idea of annihilating more of the enemy's forces." Shang Wu said helplessly.

"Why?" Cao Cao asked puzzled.

"Supplies, our supplies are not smooth. There is a shortage of ammunition, and the front-line soldiers can only ensure a limited supply of materials, and in such a situation, what we can do is too limited. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm." Hearing this, Cao Cao also felt helpless, what he knew was that the firepower of the republican army was very strong, and many Huns were killed this time, and the republican army had a certain defeat at the beginning. But they didn't expect to be able to notice such problems. Cao Cao couldn't say anything. After all, he hoped for a quick victory, but the logistics were poor, and the possibility of a quick victory became not very great.

"But we are quickly solving some of these problems, and if we can solve them well, many things will have a great impact on us." Shang Wu said.

Report. Sir. This is an urgent call that has just been received. A staff officer said. Shang Wu took the telegram and looked very long. Shang Wu felt that something must be something important. But after reading it, Shangwu didn't know how to explain it.

"What's wrong? Did the Huns take revenge? Jia Xu asked worriedly. He saw that Shang Wu's expression was very solemn.

"Nope. It was the 7th Infantry Company, the Mountain Brigade, the 25th Infantry Regiment, the 7th Infantry Company. The company commander was a bandit. Shang Wu handed the telegram to Jia Xu. And then he continued.

"According to the battle log of the 7th Infantry Company. They repulsed. The enemy attacked more than thirty-two times. The whole company originally had more than 200 people, plus the recruits in the back. More than two hundred people were killed. The company commander was also killed. But they held back the Hun cavalry for more than a day and night. Shang Wu said.

"They estimated roughly that the enemy lost more than two thousand men. The Huns finally retreated. Shang Wu said.

"Oh my God." Cao Cao said in surprise. And that's just the result of a company. However, Cao Cao was skeptical of such a result, but Shangwu didn't want to dwell on this, he knew that this was a cruel resistance war, and their low price was very large. The entire company was almost completely annihilated, and this was a nerve-wracking thing.

"This company needs to be rebuilt. It must be rebuilt. This is the Company of Heroes. Jia Xu said.

"Yes, it's a company of heroes. This company had to be rebuilt. Shang Wu said.

"First, though, we need to answer one question. They were bandits, a force of bandits, and they joined the Republican Army, probably out of desperation. Shang Wu said.

"But why, do they fight so hard for this? They could have had a chance to retreat and avoid the danger of the death of the entire company, but they did not retreat. Why? Shang Wu asked.

Neither Jia Xu nor Cao Cao could answer this question.

At the end, the blind company commander asked when the republic would be. This is what his successor said, for the sake of the world, for the sake of the world, those who suffer for the sake of the world will not be oppressed any more, for the sake of a better life. Shang Wu said.

"The Republican Army is a force with ideals, and it is precisely because of such ideals that people like bandits can burst out with such a fighting spirit. Such a fighting spirit cannot be defeated under any circumstances. This is an extremely strong will to fight. Such a will to fight will strike fear into the hearts of all enemies. Shang Wu said.

"I can't answer when they're republic." Shang Wu said.

"But I wanted to express their feelings for the republic in another way, and perhaps this was the important moment when I could express my intentions." Shang Wu said. Then Sangwu left the place, he wanted to be quiet. He thought of songs, military music, and only in this way could they express their will to fight.
