576 Dangerous Thoughts

"The team is regrouped." Ma Liu gave a new order. After sweeping some of the rear units of the Huns, the cavalry quickly assembled again, and then prepared to defend, Ma Liu's cavalry regiment still could not get rid of the way of thinking of infantry combat, but they were also improving, at least they could boldly outflank it. It's just that the tactics of impact still need to be improved.

"Isn't there any news from the 4th Cavalry Battalion yet?" Ma Liu asked a staff officer.

"Sir, not yet. But we saw an airship coming from the sky. They seem to be looking for it. The staff officer said on the side.

"Well, hopefully they can do it. I can't help anything like this. Ma Liu said this, after all, the Fourth Cavalry Battalion is not a professional cavalry unit. In their opinion, there is still a big difference.

As for the Fourth Cavalry Battalion, they searched everywhere and reconnoitred, but unfortunately, they deviated too far and could not find the location of the battlefield at once, which made them feel very uncomfortable.

"Haven't you found the big army yet?" Zhang Dai asked his staff officer anxiously.

"Sir, we can't help it, the map in our hands doesn't match the local area at all. Probably, none of our scouts have been here, it's a completely strange place, this is for us. A staff officer said in embarrassment.

"Alright. Do not say. I know. I get something like that. Zhang Dai said.

"Anyway, we have to get out of here, and it's better to be able to get back to the battlefield, so we can go back." Zhang Dai said. They've delayed the big thing. Now all he wants is to be able to get back to the battlefield.

Ancient warfare, fighting in a completely unfamiliar environment, was completely extremely disadvantageous, and cavalry combat increased the mobility of cavalry. At the same time, it also makes the battlefield more expansive, and the republican army is extremely bold in combat, and their troops dare to detour and outflank, which is their classic tactic, from the grassroots to the top, they all recognize the essence of such operations, but this essence in an unfamiliar environment, has brought them a lot of trouble, this trouble is that their mobility has increased. But familiarity with the battlefield has rapidly declined.

In the past, infantry battles were carried out at most, and the infantry was sixty miles a day at most. A hundred miles, that's extreme combat. But now, the combat range of the cavalry has increased dramatically, and the infantry used to fight in a familiar environment, with villages nearby, which can be identified in time, but in an unfamiliar environment, this kind of combat completely puts the Republican Army in an extremely unfavorable situation.

There is a difference between this, although the Republican Army summarizes it every time, but this detail, until now they have discovered that there is a problem. This has a lot to do with their successive wins. Because the republican army generally has an extremely simple battle, the arrogant army will be defeated. The pride of the Republican Army naturally came up, and there was no way, the Republican Army had not suffered a big loss. Naturally, this is the case.

But now, they're really annoying. The changes on the battlefield made them feel it. If they don't deal with it carefully, they won't be able to deal with these situations at all.

"Good news, sir." At this moment, a cavalry lieutenant quickly ran over and shouted loudly.

"Good news, sir." The lieutenant looked very excited, and jumped off his horse without running a few paces before falling to the ground, but he did not care at all, for their condition had improved considerably.

"Captain Airship, we've met the airship. And the signal was given. They gave us our bearings. The lieutenant said excitedly.

"Oh. Great, tell me where we are, quickly. Zhang Dai stood up excitedly and said. He had to get excited. Fortunately, there is no endless road. Otherwise, they're in very big trouble.

"This, sir, this." As he spoke, the second lieutenant took out a communication canister. This is made of bamboo tubes, in which are placed letters, maps, this is a kind of air and ground forces contact, it looks primitive, but it is very useful. There was no way, there was no radio at this time, otherwise, they wouldn't have done such a thing.

The ground forces and air forces are connected in such a way that the ground forces use three bonfires. If it was daytime, they would also use people lying on the ground to make arrows to guide the way. In conclusion, communication is a big deal. Sometimes, the airship also needs to be lowered by one height, and the two sides use the flag language to communicate.

"Damn it. We're completely reversed. Zhang Dai took the map and looked at it, and they were on the edge of the battlefield, and they almost ran to other places. No wonder they couldn't see the enemy, it turned out that they had strayed to a place other than the battlefield. It is possible that they took the map wrong and used the wrong direction in the first place. As a result, they turned out not to be on the battlefield.

As for the airship units of the Republican Army, they were worried about the safety of the flanks on the battlefield and had to reconnoiter here, but they actually ran into their own combat units. This was a big surprise to everyone.

Airships are air force units, they have sextants, and at the same time they also have simple flight clocks, in short, the air force is a tall branch of the military, it costs the most money, not ordinary people can compare with them, their aviation maps are not the same, the biggest difference is that they have early latitude and longitude, although it still seems a little rudimentary, but this is a huge improvement. In short, the Air Force's map is far more elaborate than the Army's reconnaissance map, and at this glance, they finally see the problem.

"Damn, we've deviated so much at once, what can we do?" Zhang Dai was also very annoyed.

"Sir, the only way at present is to rely on heaven." An operational staff officer also knew that they had encountered the most unlucky thing, and originally they all wanted to make meritorious contributions, but they did not expect that they would encounter such a thing, that is, they were unlucky, but unlucky is also unlucky, and they still have some luck.

"Yes, sir, we can only rely on the guidance of the air force brothers, they are in the sky, they see where we can't see, with this kind of guidance, we have eyes, we can not see things, naturally the intensity of the attack will be very fast." A lieutenant officer on the side suggested.

"Damn, fuck it. That's it. Anyway, they don't have a lot of room to play now. That's all there is to it. Send a message to our Air Force brethren and ask them to help us. Zhang Dai said. They went in the wrong direction. If it weren't for the help of the Air Force brothers, it would have been a problem for them to go back, which was an extremely humiliating thing for them.

But now, they have an opportunity, the air force's reconnaissance is far faster and faster than the army's reconnaissance operations, and the altitude is their advantage, and such an advantage is because it is brought into play.

The emergence of air units, from the initial intimidation to a certain degree of reconnaissance, the air force units are being promoted little by little, but they need to give full play to the room for combat, and Shangwu is giving them such an opportunity, so that their speed of development will be faster. This is an important killer feature for their future, and they have to hurry.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"The current mood in the troops is too high. We won several battles in a row, and the Huns were defeated. It's easy to make a soldier proud. If it continues, the chances will be in big trouble. Shang Wu handed over several telegrams in his hand to Jia Xu, from these telegrams, he saw a lot of bad things, for example, the officer in the report, full of blind optimism, the officer always towards the best side of the estimate, this is easy to catch people off guard, they have had such a situation before, but this time it seems to be more serious than the last time, because they defeated the invincible Huns. Naturally, it's easy to lose.

"Well, something like this should indeed be taken care of. Just how do you get them to notice something like this? Jia Xu asked Shangwu.

"I don't have a very good solution, just two at the moment, first, they themselves are aware of such a problem, can they be?" Shangwu asked.

"The second is that we suffer a loss, and they suddenly realize that this should be a problem. The second one, it's troublesome. After all, if we continue like this, it will cause us a lot of trouble. In such a situation, I don't want to see it, but you know the current situation, they are all a group of people like this, let them do such a thing, they themselves are a very difficult, very difficult person to deal with, so this situation is still very difficult for us. Shang Wu said helplessly.

"Well, but let's send out a document and let them pay attention, these guys can easily get carried away after consecutive victories." Jia Xu said helplessly. There are also drawbacks to winning streak, at the very least, it's easy to make them arrogant all at once, which is a big problem for them, and even, in many cases, there will be big problems with their development.

That's where they need it most. They must study with an open mind and see the facts carefully, rather than being arrogant and ignorant of what is true. This is an act that Shang Wu resents, and such an act usually makes them realize a great defeat. This is an extremely dangerous idea, and Shangwu must make them aware of such a dangerous idea.
