"What if we improvised, nearby militia?" Shang Wu asked after a silence.

"This, sir, the combat effectiveness of the militia is very low, they need to ensure the safety of the rear, and at the same time, their training, as well as tactical awareness, are very low. They don't seem to be able to fight us effectively. A staff officer explained.

"No, I don't mean that, I mean, let the militia go into the defense, take the regular military forces, and let them organize the attack, so that our regular forces will become reserves, become new military forces." Shang Wu said.

The crowd was silent. I have to say, this is a very good way. But this approach would allow many militias who had not participated in actual combat to fight. Besides, can they be relied on? All people have this worry.

"In that case, do we need to worry about the loyalty of those militias?" Jia Xu asked Shangwu in a low voice.

"We don't have a good option right now." Shang Wu said.

"But if we do this, it will cause us a lot of trouble. If the militia can't withstand the current situation, and they even retreat, the situation could spiral out of control. Jia Xu told Shangwu the worst.

"I think the worst scenario could be what has already happened. Our main forces are stuck on this. Then it was not possible to draw troops, and as a result, we were exhausted, and there would be a great deal of passivity when we recruited troops from within the country, as well as from other lines of defense. It's going to be a big hassle for us. Moreover, the crux of the matter is whether we can expel the Kwantung coalition forces in a timely manner. Rather than a stalemate at this level, as long as we can launch a larger offensive. in order to get the opportunity to negotiate. Shang Wu said.

"We can't afford to delay, so why don't we give it a try." Shang Wu said. Shangwu is very bold and at the same time dares to try some new ideas. This is what Jia Xu admires the most.

The whole plan may sound risky, but they can give it a try.

"I think that the mobilization of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment in this direction will be fast enough that they will maneuver to the rear of the enemy. If we attack there during the attack, it will be a very advantageous operation for us. Jia Xu said.

The Second Cavalry Regiment was a cavalry regiment that had just been drawn and established, and there were more than 1,500 light cavalry in the regiment. It was a regular cavalry unit that the Republican Army had managed to draw up, and although each military line had its own cavalry unit, there were only two cavalry regiments that could be regarded as mobile troops. The first and second, the main preparatory direction of the first was in the east of the river. At the same time, if necessary, they can be mobilized to merge states, or even to the Hexi battlefield. The second station is in Luzhou. They can be transported to the battlefield by train.

"Okay. Just do that, and I accept your suggestion. Shang Wu said. Jia Xu had to admit that this was a very bold plan.

"To do that, you need to pay a lot of price, the advantage of land, and related property bonds, which requires the development plan of Luoyang to be announced in advance." Jia Xu said.

"How about we go to Hanoi together?" Shang Wu suddenly asked Jia Xu. It's an extremely fascinating idea.

"It's very bold." Jia Xu replied.

"Yes, maybe we can go directly to Luoyang, to be honest, I haven't been to that capital yet." Shang Wu said.

"I want to go and see the Emperor's Palace there. If it's good enough, it's going to have a big impact on us. Shang Wu said.

Jia Xu smiled slightly. It's very good.

Soon, the General Staff began to develop a large-scale counterattack plan for this. This is where the IRA is most threatened.

The edge of the camp of the Kwantung coalition forces. Cao Cao's army suffered heavy losses and was simply unable to participate in the military campaign against Luoyang. Moreover, everyone rejected him from doing this, after all, Cao Cao was an outlier. Cao Cao was also very happy about this. He only occasionally walked around the tent of the Chinese army. And then most of them are making all kinds of conjectures based on the results they get.

"We simply can't break through the Republican defenses head-on. They were defended like a huge iron barrel, with plenty of ammunition to replenish. There's nothing we can do. Cao Cao said. Xi Zhicai hurriedly nodded on the side, and he also admitted that after all, in many cases, their situation is like this.

Cao Ren and Xiahoudun were arguing. They argue about the difference in firearms warfare. It was the first time they had encountered such a defensive battle, and there were trenches everywhere. The firepower network is even denser than Dong Zhuo's. Especially those barbed wire, they saw some fierce generals, they had a lot of strength, logically speaking, they should seem to be easy to cut through the kind of barbed wire like thorns, but what they didn't expect was that they fell into it, and it was difficult to move. They simply don't have a way to deal with this situation, which is a big problem for anyone.

No matter how much he wielded the axe in his hand, he couldn't open a passage at all. As a result, he was killed alive as a target. It's a pity. It's a pity that they themselves think that they are too unjust.

Fighting the IRA is a completely different way of fighting than ever before.

"We have a lot of strengths, but at the same time, the flaws are also very big. The advantage is that we cut off the main force of the republican army and enter the logistics supply line of the republican army in Luoyang City, and logically speaking, they will not hold it for too long. Therefore, we must solve them as soon as possible and in a short period of time, otherwise, the longer it takes, the more it will be bad for us. Xi Zhicai said.

"If the Republican Army reacts and mobilizes more forces to gather in the north and south, and they launch a larger offensive again, we will most likely withdraw from Bishui Pass. At that time, it was really not enough to see. Xi Zhicai said such a possibility.

Cao Cao nodded. I agree with some of Xi Zhicai's views, the Republican Army's ability to mobilize troops is quite large, and their advantage lies in this point, if they really do such a situation, the results can be imagined.

"We can't defend very well." Cao Cao said. Cao Cao basically thought that such a thing would definitely happen, and the reason was Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was stubborn and self-serving, and he actually hit both ends, and he dispersed his strength. The strategic goals are also extremely unclear, and it is strange that their situation can get better in such a situation. This kind of thing, for them, is a disaster on a larger scale, and this kind of disaster will still happen.

"What I hope to do now is to have a chance to connect with the IRA, and if we have that opportunity, everything will go well." Cao Cao said.

Everything still needs to be done on your own. Otherwise, nothing can be done. This is an extremely troublesome thing for anyone. The matter of the Kwantung coalition made Cao Cao understand that in many cases, you should never trust the so-called allies, because you don't know what kind of selfishness they have. A lot of things still have to be done on your own.

Yang Village. Airspace. The ground crew watched worriedly as the modified airship flew into the sky.

"Do you think something is going to happen with this thing?" A private looked at the airship worriedly. The airship closed the magazine. Then two openings were opened, and two small-caliber infantry guns were installed.

"I don't know, I hope they're okay." A corporal said.

When the cannon is fired, the smoke that spews out can ignite the airship. Despite some protective treatments, such as a large flare to cover their guns, this was not conducive to reloading. But fortunately, it can prevent the ejected flames from falling on the airship and igniting the airship. This was the only protective measure, and originally they would have hung a water tank on it, the main function of which was to prevent fire. But now, unable to install it in time, the airship took off urgently.

The 3rd Bombardment Squadron of the Republican Army, which modified their airship, was a bold attempt. The squadron leader also got the approval from above, and there may be some problems, but they think it's well worth it. After all, the current battlefield requires them to make some improvements, and besides, this attempt is very correct and advantageous. They think it's very doable.

"Shut up, you want them back, you know?" An ensign officer scolded. The two soldiers pouted helplessly. As if they wanted something to happen.

As for how effective the modification will be, they are also not clear, after all, there is no time to try, improve, originally, they were going to experiment. However, the modified airships, which reduce the number of bombings, are not very effective, which will add them too much, too much pressure, trouble.

So, under the pressure of the needs of the battlefield, they have to go back to the battlefield, which is a kind of demand and a kind of helplessness, but in such a situation, they have to do it, otherwise, they don't know what kind of situation their profession will face, and in such a situation, they still need to solve a lot of things.

The airship flew in the air like that, and then flew towards the battlefield, no one knows, what their future will be, and what kind of situation they will face, no one knows, but they can only hope that the other side will be able to return.
