674 non-combat attrition

Jingshi, Luoyang.

"I'm not optimistic at all, the war between Dong Zhuo and the Republican Army, I dare to conclude that there will inevitably be some things between the two, for example, in the words of the Republican Army, they may reach some tacit understanding, the two sides will sign some secret agreements, and then achieve their respective goals through such secret agreements." Xi Zhicai looked at the newspaper and said.

Of course, there are some other things, such as Cao Cao taking the copied official document to show Xi Zhicai. These are a source of important information.

In the official document, Xi Zhi saw such an interesting scene, their emperor His Majesty ordered the allocation of 2,000 stone of grain to the movement, which was used to fund the movement to quickly send troops into the Hedong bridgehead to prevent it from being quickly occupied by the Republican army. Two thousand stones. Not to mention how much can come out in the end, it is consumed halfway, plus the exploitation of officials at all levels. In the end, it would be good to have 300 stones. Their Emperor Majesty is really very generous.

relied on this way to encourage Dong Zhuo and the Republican Army to fight hard. It's just whimsical. In such a situation, in its own considerations. Dong Zhuo will inevitably unite with the Republican Army to do things, and even, if necessary, he can also learn from Han Sui of Xiliang to divide one side. This is Dong Zhuo's plan, such an idea was seen through by Xi Zhicai at a glance.

"Hmm. I also see it this way, the idea of the imperial court is good, but it can only be done by encouraging more things, otherwise. Cao Cao said helplessly. Compared with the Republican Army, the imperial court is too shabby and stingy. Such practices are a major blow to them, and such a blow is extremely unfavorable to all people.

"Perhaps, such a situation cannot happen, and in such a situation, it is more advantageous for us to be able to face such a situation." Xi Zhicai said that he really didn't want too many unpleasant situations to happen, after all, there were many situations that were not as simple as they thought.

If you want Dong Zhuo and the Republican Army to lose both, you must let the imperial court come up with more money and food to support Dong Zhuo, and at the same time give strict military orders. Reaching such a situation, it is a pity that the imperial court cannot come up with more military resources. The strategy to drive the wolf and the tiger simply cannot be carried out.

Hedong, the left battalion, Li Shui walked back and forth with his spear. He was an infantryman of the left battalion, the lowest kind, he didn't have his own armor, the clothes on his body, they were still his own when he was in service, they only had two meals a day, one dry and one thin, and it was good to be full. Usually, it's good to have sauce to eat.

"Damn, there are five lying down in camp today." The veteran Lao Hei said in his uniform, the weather was too hot. There are too many mosquitoes, and the place where they live is not clean in the first place, there are too many people defecating in the open in their camps, and malaria and dysentery are constantly contagious, and in the absence of necessary treatment, these are deadly.

"Damn, what's going on?" Li Shui said. What they fear most is lying down and not being able to get up. They remember the time of winter. There were many people with typhoid fever and coughing, and in one camp, more than 200 people were lying down. More than 80 of them could not get up, and in the end more than 60 people, nearly 70 people. This is an extremely terrible thing, in a military camp like theirs, the non-combat attrition is far worse than they imagined, their battalion casualties are relatively small, and some battalions are said to have really killed more than 200 people at once, more than 200 people, and if there is no war, there will be no more. So, lying down, is definitely not a good thing.

"Who?" Lao Hei suddenly saw a group of people coming over and asked. This made Li Shui nervous, because they really hadn't fought before.

"Own people. We are the personal soldiers under General Lee. Zhang Liao came over with more than a dozen special forces and said.

"Oh. It turned out to be under General Lee. Lao Hei said in a relaxed manner that General Li was a high-flying and domineering person, and it was said that he was the son-in-law of a landlord in Hedong, and he was very domineering. When dealing with such people, it is better to avoid some. Because they also have a black hand on themselves, you can imagine how sad it is to meet such a person, so it is best to avoid some of the things they have nothing to do.

"Is there anything wrong with this brother?" Zhang Liao quickly walked up and asked. His other hand motioned to his men not to act rashly, for he was worried that his men would do the same against the two poor fellows.

"This." Lao Hei looked nervous, he felt that the other party would definitely make him pay a lot of money if he smiled like this. They are all good at extortion.

"Don't be nervous, I can't eat you." Zhang Liao said.

"Here, it's good to buy some wine for the brethren." Zhang Liao took out some money and said.

"Thank you, thank you." Black didn't know what to say.

"What did you just say?" Zhang Liao asked.

"Hey, we didn't say anything, but in our tent, there were a few more people lying down, there was really no way, the weather was hot, there were too many mosquitoes, and they were big, and if they took a bite, they could still withstand it, and many people couldn't stand it." Lao Hei complained.

"Yes, we who lack medicine are too afraid. This mosquito kills people. Li Shui hurriedly added on the side.

"yes, I see. Be careful, let's go over there and do some patrols. Zhang Liao waved his arm and said, and the two of them quickly nodded and sent them away.

"If you see it, people are elite, and they are generous." Lao Hei said.

"Hey, look at those pro-soldiers, how thick they are, those arms are thicker than my thighs, this pro-soldier is different." Li Shui said.

"Nonsense, everyone can eat meat and drink wine, we can eat enough, it's good. Lao Tzu can also eat meat in the next life. Old Black said.

Through such a scene, Zhang Liao learned a very serious situation, that is, the medical condition of the imperial army stationed in Hedong was very poor, and their non-combat attrition harassed by mosquitoes would be very large, to a terrifying extent.

Maybe this is a place where they can break through, after all, in such a situation, their situation will reach a very ideal situation.

The poor logistical supply situation brought a huge test to the imperial army. Non-combat attrition is already a serious torture for them.

After Zhang Liao checked the situation of the camp of the Hedong Army, he quickly returned.

After all, they scouted for the first time, and they couldn't go too deep.

Inside Ma Heng's headquarters.

"Sir, this is the first reconnaissance report of the special forces. They provided even a very important piece of information, the imperial court camp was very sloppy, dirty, the sanitary conditions were extremely unfavorable, there were many cases of fever caused by mosquito bites, and the non-combat attrition was very serious. "When the operational staff officer reports the report submitted by Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao is always able to give some key information back, which is an important situation for them to complete many situations.

"What do you mean?" Ma Heng took the report and looked.

"Sir, I think that we may not have to fight, we can achieve our combat effect, the impact of mosquitoes is too great. The non-combat attrition of the other side is very severe, and according to preliminary estimates, the strength of a battalion is only 300 people at most. This means that the opponent's combat strength has been reduced very sharply. The operational staff officer said.

"Well, this matter is reported to the headquarters, and the headquarters can send some relevant medicines over, we have to pay attention to these things, the imperial court has suffered such a big loss, we can't, and if we defeat the other party at once, a large number of prisoners of war will infect us, but it will be very troublesome. Ask the military doctor to write a relevant disease prevention protocol to ensure that the camp is clean and tidy. Don't be careless. Ma Heng said. The imperial army on the opposite side had already caused such an extremely serious situation. They must not make the same mistake, otherwise they will be in very big trouble.

"Yes, sir." The operational staff officer said. Non-combat attrition has always been the worst enemy of an army, even the republican army with the best logistical supply, they do not dare to be careless, after all, in the face of nature, human power is sometimes too small, their lives are so fragile, in many cases it is difficult to accomplish such and such things. This is a huge crisis for them, and even, in many cases, the IRA itself has to be careful about such things.

Lijiazhuang. War Department.

"Mosquitoes, malaria." Shang Wu said after reading the report.

"There are more non-combat attrition than we imagined, and after preliminary reconnaissance, half of the Hedong Army can stand up and continue fighting, which is considered good." Shang Wu said.

"Well, but there is good news, Hua Tuo stayed. And he had many, many things to study, but he asked for more students to be staffed and the current medical students to be re-evaluated. Jia Xu said to Shangwu.

"Great. But they have a good subject at the moment. Malaria. This is the biggest killer for us. If we don't deal with it on a large scale, it will bring us great disaster. Shang Wu said.

The reason why Hua Tuo stayed was because he had seen too many good things. These things are only here, for example, a microscope, this thing is a national treasure in medical school, how can it be given to Hua Tuo, as well as injection needles, syringes, this convenient and fast way makes Hua Tuo very excited.
