The pontoon bridge was quickly erected, and then the Republican cavalry quickly crossed the pontoon bridge in a column of three horsemen, and four cavalry battalions crossed the river at the same time. Finally, there were the horse artillery units of the Republican Cavalry Regiment, which served as the fire support of the entire cavalry. The whole river crossing is very fast-paced. This is an extremely efficient combat unit, and fighting with such a unit loses first in the fast-paced way of fighting.

Li Wei had the feeling that just one crossing the river required more equipment than they expected, and in addition, they had other things to accomplish such things.

On the opposite side, Zhang Liao watched the cavalry quickly pass through the pontoon bridge from a commanding height, and the whole process was at most two incense sticks. And their mission has only just begun.

There are about 200 people in their special forces to guide them, but most of them are scattered on some major transportation arteries, in fact, there are not too many other important points to guard, posing too many other threats to the cavalry operations of the Republican Army, the most is to guide the Republican Army to get the cavalry to launch a rapid attack, provide certain technical and intelligence support, their task is very simple, even easy to boring.

However, Zhang Liao would not be bored to the point of relaxation, and he began to observe the cavalry units of the Republican Army at close range.

How to say, the cavalry of the republican army was chaotic, there were cuirassiers, but their number was not too much, each battalion was at most a platoon of troops, they could only provide a limited frontal charge, and the armament was mainly short-barreled firearms, as well as sabers. Some even have spears, but the spears look a bit shorter than those used by the infantry. And it's cheap.

In ancient times, it was the horse lance that was suitable for cavalry combat, but the cavalry of this period was still in the development stage, and it was not known whether the horse lance could appear, but even if it appeared, the expensive price would still make the republican army forget about it. The reason is, they don't have much price to do that, after all, it's too dangerous for them.

The price was an important option for cavalrymen to equip spears, they needed a cheap, even disposable cavalry spear, not too heavy, after all, they were not professional cavalrymen, and the Republican Army had only made some improvements in tactics. Not much else has been made.

Spears gave them a great advantage in close combat, and of course, in order to make up for the lack of shooting, the Republican cavalry was equipped with firearms used by cavalry, short-barreled firearms, and in order to be able to fire more ammunition, they were mostly double-barreled. After all, it is very difficult to reload on horseback for the second time, and it is basically impossible to accomplish such a thing, and in such a situation, it is quite good to be able to do such a thing.

In addition, the Republican cavalry is equipped with more short-barreled firearms, sabers, and axes, which can help them have a great advantage in close combat, of course. The Republican cavalry is also equipped with different bullets, most of them are equipped with shotguns, which is more suitable for their needs in cavalry combat. Accurate shooting is sometimes too wasteful.

In short, the cavalry units of the Republican Army were equipped with some disarray, but they developed different types of cavalry. Shock cuirassiers, hussars, as well as specialized firearms cavalry, at the same time, they were also armed with horse artillery. Although he didn't know the specific tactical use, he knew that the horse artillery would play a greater role.

But how to use it, and how to make progress in their tactics to a higher degree, all of this still needs their continuous exploration, this is a bold groping process, such a process is necessary for them, the Republican Army is growing too fast, but their development time is too short, they still need some precipitation in time.

"Sir, actually, such a thing can be done by scouts, there is no need for us to do such a thing." The disguised marksmen said that they had a special name, Snipers. At the same time, they also have some strange weapons, wearing firearms with single-pass sights, although their effective range is only seventy paces, which is the result of the use of special bullets, but they can guarantee to hit the target within one hundred and thirty paces, do not doubt their combat ability, they can play to a greater distance.

Although they didn't know what a sniper meant, they knew that the combat effectiveness of a marksman was absolutely incomparable.

"I know, it's okay for you to take care of your position." Zhang Liao said that their task was too easy. Or rather, the Hedong Army seems to have given up on itself. As if no man's land, they easily passed through all the defense lines of the Hedong Army, and there was not even a sentry check among them. It's all about decoration.

The whole barracks had a rotten smell. Zhang Liao originally thought that they would have a hard time passing through a series of sentry posts, for example, he was equipped for a sudden battle, such as how to pass the check, but now it seems that they are thinking too much. In other words, the Hedong Army gave up on itself too quickly, which made them unable to keep up with the current rhythm.

If you encounter an interrogation on the road, it is a strange thing. Morale is low and military discipline is corrupt. Plus the outbreak of severe barracks disease circulation. This led to a rapid decline in the combat effectiveness of the Hedong Army, and to make matters worse, their supplies were intermittent. The court seems to have forgotten that there is still a garrison here, and they are all forgotten people in the corner.

It is conceivable that such an army is degenerate with great speed. If it weren't for Zhang Liao's own eyes, he really didn't know that this army had degenerated into this.

The cavalry unit quickly departed with a bang. They are going to kill the enemy's rear supply base, and from there they will cause the enemy to collapse completely.

"Dog." A veteran smiled as he carried his spear, with a chicken hanging from his back, which had been snatched from a nearby villager's house. In addition to this, they also grabbed half a bag of rice, and the veteran planned to eat the chicken stew, after all, they had not eaten meat for a long time. There was no meat at all. People are thin.

The supplies of the Hedong Army were extremely bad, and they often ran out of food, drank gruel every day, and the drinks faded out of the birds.

Finally opened the meat, and naturally they had to eat it in a big gulp.

"Hurry up and find a place, let's stew and eat, and go back to the barracks. But that's ours. Let's take back this half bag of rice. "The veteran arranged it like this, which can be regarded as a kind of explanation.

"Hey." Dogs said in a smug voice. He really couldn't bear it, he came from an ordinary family in Hanoi, and saw them constantly robbing the money and food of the surrounding people's families. He really couldn't bear to waste it, it was originally a bag of rice, he begged the veteran to let them go, and finally left half a bag for others to take it. He is still kind, but unfortunately, the barracks is a big dye vat, and there are all kinds of people.

It is said that some people who have broken their conscience even arrest women. Dogan knows that it's very bad, but there is nothing you can do to change it. They also have to live, and it is much more shameful to rob food. But that's a bit too much. It's a pity that the barracks are never a good place to talk, they are all a bunch of bastards who don't do anything. Otherwise, I wouldn't be a soldier.

I've been in the army for a long time. Naturally, he became a veteran oilman, such as a veteran, he still has a conscience, and knows how to grab some food, not to kill, if some people are in a hurry. They also have no way. Let's just say that they are unlucky.

Dogan is very tired of this kind of life, because by doing this, his conscience is really unhappy, but there is no way. If you don't do this, the veterans will keep beating them, and the veterans will bully the recruits, and if you do this kind of thing, they have to do it often, and they do a lot of the work. The barracks are probably like this, you are tired of him, you are disgusted with him, but you can't change them.

Dog Dan buried his head on the road, he was thinking about whether he was full of food, and when cooking, he could eat two more bites, so he kept doing the work of cooking.

"Boom, boom." At this moment, they felt the earth shaking.

"This. What is it? "Dogan doesn't know what the sound of the cavalry is. But he felt that the voice was very threatening, and it was extremely dangerous, in short, such a thing was definitely not a good thing.

"Cavalry, yes, cavalry." The veteran swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said. The cavalry is very threatening.

"What to do? We, are we going to run? Dogan said worriedly. His calves were trembling. There's no way to control it.

"You're stupid." The veteran said.

"Yes, our cavalry. Quick, stand on the side of the road. Don't, don't move. The veteran said.

Soon the cavalry appeared in front of them quickly. But the flag is not what they see.

They were the cavalry of the Republican Army, and the cavalry at the front passed quickly, and they just looked at the two stupid infantry next to them with disdain. They did not consider these two infantry to be a threat. Let them go, after all, they didn't come here to kill for the sake of killing.

"Boom, boom." The roar of the cavalry reverberated around them.

"Phew." A horse stops in front of the dog. Sitting on it was a man in a lean uniform.

"Hey. You two. Raise your hands. Throw away the weapon. "A cavalry second lieutenant officer looked at two men, he looked at them with a short-barreled firearm in his hand.

"Why?" The veteran asked.

"You've been taken captive." The second lieutenant said.
