"Very good, what's your name?" Zhang Liao looked at Gao Shun and asked.

Gao Shun was a little overwhelmed. He didn't know why the other person, who looked so young, asked like that.

"Sir, his name is Gao Shun." A prisoner of war soldier explained.

"Well, that's good. A few of you will listen to him later. He can be your platoon commander. Wait until this operation is over. I can apply for a medal for you, and if you do well, I will recommend you to study at a military school. There, you will be treated better as officers. Believe me. Zhang Liao patted Gao Shun's shoulder and said this.

In this way, Gao Shun became the platoon commander of the prisoner of war soldiers. They didn't know what that meant, and soon the people next to them began to explain.

"Platoon commander, at least a second lieutenant, in the future, you can go to the military academy to study, if you study well, you will become a lieutenant, and then a captain, and there will be a lot of officer treatment. Even if you are not an official. There are a lot of things that can be done down. The starting point is much better than ours. The Republican soldier explained. The prisoner of war soldier next to him looked at Gao Shun with envy.

They felt that Gao Shun's luck was good. And Gao Shun was just thinking about the battle just now. The idea of their bayonet fight was simple, and if there was a counterattack, they would easily push the enemy back. In that case, it's an extremely simple thing for them, and this simple thing can help them solve a lot of things to the greatest extent. This is very effective. War is like that. As long as you do a good job. In a tense environment, it quickly stands out.

Zhang Liao's idea is very good, Gao Shun is not only an example, but also a rare talent. The reason for this is simple: the IRA non-combatants have come up with a simple way to repel the enemy with firearms, but this is obviously somewhat passive, they will only hide and shoot in the fortifications, and once the opponent strengthens the offensive force, their rate of fire will be reduced, and the consequences will become unimaginable. In such a situation, how do they respond to the next situation?

War is not only about weapons, but also about people, and if people show retreat at this time, their morale will be low. Then infect a lot of people, they will become timid, and the time will be the contraction of the front. On the other hand, if you are very strong, and you are brave enough to use counter-shock tactics to fight back the opponent, the situation will become very simple, and this kind of opportunity, and people who think like this, are usually relatively rare, and this is what they are most capable of.

As it turned out, Zhang Liao's idea was correct, and on the other side, the non-combatants of the Republican Army used firearms exclusively to counterattack. This does not mean that they are wrong, but the defensive operation is very passive. The delay was also very long. If it weren't for Zhang Liao's timely arrival and increased their defensive strength, the result can be imagined, and the continuous fighting would easily drain the fighting spirit of these non-combatants, and once the offensive force is increased, the possibility of the defense line being breached. It's going to happen. Zhang Liao dismissed the two lieutenants on the spot. They, despite being graduates of military schools, are ** escaped. There are simply too many things to do in the rear logistics. This is quite a troublesome thing for them.

Even so, the prospects for defense are not too good. They need more armament, personnel, and especially replenishment in personnel.

The north bank of the Yellow River. Yang Village.

Inside the garrison of the 3rd Bombardment Squadron.

"Sir, I have a bold idea." A flight sergeant entered his squadron leader's room and said.

"Hmm. Let's talk about it. The squadron leader nodded. The above expressed some satisfaction with their bombing, but also hoped that they would make more improvements. The squadron leader had something that he could not understand. It seems that there is some dissatisfaction with the bombing above. But that's how they operate, they take off from here, they bomb, they come back. If circumstances allow, they may fly twice. However, even so, their superiors were still somewhat dissatisfied. This was something that the squadron leader did not understand, he was looking at the ground report after the flight bombardment. Hopefully find out what could be improved. Then the chiefs may be satisfied.

"Sir, the time we bombed was too short. The bombing time is only a few breaths. The sergeant said.

"Yes, but we should understand some things, we can't control the time of those ** falls, and we can't drop the ** one by one. Who can control the ** falling on the head of the enemy, this is where we have no way to do it. The squadron leader said.

They simply carry out the tasks assigned from above, as for how well the tasks are completed? It wasn't something he could think about. After all, they've done enough well. That's what they think they're doing. This is a normal thing for them.

"Sir, I think we can use artillery. In that case, our task might be a little better. The sergeant said.

"Tell me about it." The squadron leader asked.

"If we use artillery, the situation will become more favorable. Our mission is to block the enemy's infantry brigades, delay the enemy's build-up, and if we use artillery, they will attack longer and more accurately. And that's not all. Our time will also become very long all at once. In this way, the enemy has more time to lose. It is more advantageous to strike at their logistical supply lines, and usually, our ** just retreats after bombing. As a result, they can quickly assemble and advance again, but with the use of artillery, we can delay them for a long time and cause a big problem for the other side. The sergeant said.

"Well, that sounds like a good idea, but we're airships, and if the guns can withstand the recoil of the guns, and if the flying flames burn our airships, the trouble will be very big. Our situation will become extremely unfavorable. The squadron leader said.

"Sir, these can be solved by technical improvements, engineers." The other party said.

"Okay. I'll send a telegram to the top and let them decide for themselves, and that's it. The squadron leader said. The sergeant nodded and left the place.

What they need is security, not only to kill and injure the enemy, but also to pay attention to safety, you know, once something happens to the airship, especially if something happens in the sky above the enemy, it is very likely that the other party will be arrested. It's a hassle for them. But the squadron leader had to report the situation to their commanders, because their commanders needed a more detailed and problem-solving solution to such a thing.

The advantages of using artillery for airships are obvious, but the danger is also great, and the important thing for the group is that this engineering problem also needs their commander to prove. In this case, it will take some time to deal with these things, and if you don't handle them properly, there will still be trouble. That's what they're paying attention to at the moment, and in a situation like this, they do have a lot of things to deal with to get through such a hassle.

Handan, securities market.

The decline in bank stocks has stopped, but many people are overwhelmed by this all of a sudden.

All kinds of news flew in the securities hall. Li Li was listening to all kinds of news.

The situation has been somewhat confirmed. The republican army's attack on Luoyang was threatened to a certain extent, mainly by the Kwantung coalition forces that suddenly came in from Bishui. They cut off directly, threatening the logistical supply lines of the Republican Army. Li Li didn't know what was going to happen. But it may sound serious. The newspapers also said that tens of thousands of troops could be completely surrounded. Luoyang, which is in hand, may give up.

If this news continues, this could be a very bad situation. But there are also those who believe that the Republican Army still has strong reserves that are not used, and that their situation will become much more favorable. In such a situation, they will still have a lot of patience and get a big win, but it will be a matter of time.

Although a lot of the news is uncertain, Li Li still believes that it is still certain to go long on bank stocks because they have broken through. Broke through. This means that there is a high probability that it will rise. Li Li just knows these things.

Inside the War Department. Shang Wu looked at the map in silence.

Ma Heng was a little troubled. They're just holding the situation up. Between the two battle groups in the north and south, they were attacked once. The threat posed by the opponent's attack is not great, but time is their biggest threat, their ammunition. Supplies were not replenished. In this way, the problem becomes very troublesome.

"We need to launch an offensive to open the passage between the north and the south, and then we can expel the other side from here and retreat outside the Bishui Pass, in this case, the situation will form a more favorable situation for us, if the other side cannot retreat, this will be a very big problem for us." Ma Heng continued.

"But at the moment, we don't have such a large number of troops, and to get through here, we need at least one infantry division. Three infantry regiments, but at present, the strength on hand is only one and a half at most. It is impossible to get through such a situation. Or to draw more troops. Replenish the South Side Group, in this case, there will be some changes in the situation. The other party said.

Ma Heng is thinking about how to solve this problem. However, the shortage of troops is a big problem.
