Apparently. The combat effectiveness of the militia is very limited. They were outnumbered by each other, but they were even defeated by the other side. Tactical literacy is a very important factor.

War is never a simple superposition of numerical superiority, but a balanced situation formed by the imbalance of the balance of power in a certain time and place.

And the militia, which was armed all at once, had to fight in such a short time, which obviously exceeded their series of estimates.

"I think they should learn a little bit. Establish a study class so that they know how to fight wars. Otherwise, if you look at such a situation, it will create unprecedented trouble for everyone. Cao Ang looked at the militiamen and said.

To tell the truth, in terms of equipment, the militia is better equipped than the local armed forces, because most of the local armed forces are equipped with cold weapons. But they are all villains who have killed people, after all. When fighting, relying on one's own notoriety to fight, this is a kind of momentum, and the militia naturally has a lot less in front of this momentum. It's not that they don't fight harshly, it's that they don't have such an experience at all.

"That's a real way to do it." The people next to him agreed.

Many people have already learned about the combat situation of the militia. Their situation is indeed very worrying, and this situation is a big blow to anyone. In such a situation, it seems that more development is necessary if there is more development.

What the militia does not lack is equipment, but a change in their tactics, in their way of thinking.

Cao Ang soon submitted such a report to their regimental headquarters. However, what do you think about this situation? That's not what they want. Their task is to move forward as quickly as possible and advance to their assigned position, where stagnation will cause even more trouble. So, Cao Ang's troops soon moved up again.

Rapid progress is their strategic intention, and if they fail to reach such a level, it will be a big disaster for them.

Outside the Bishui Pass, the battle calmed down.

The Eighteenth Route Coalition Army, there is no longer a coalition army willing to continue to send troops to fight. As a result, the battle outside the Bishui Pass formed an extremely rare positional battle.

Soldiers on both sides were digging trenches, but neither had any intention of initiating an attack.

Dong Zhuojun didn't have the strength to launch a counterattack again. Their ammunition replenishment gives the problem. There is no way to add it up. In fact, it was their finances that had a big problem. The situation of the Kwantung Coalition was the opposite, they could afford to buy, but most of the commanders refused to continue the offensive out of selfishness, and they preferred to spend it. Instead of fighting, if you continue to fight, you will not die, and if you continue to fight, you will lose a large number of people, and the way of fighting with firearms makes the local governors feel very distressed. Therefore, most of them do not contribute to the matter of attacking and fighting. By digging a trench to prevaricate. After all, it's the best way to do it.

"Both sides are digging trenches. What a strange battle. Xi Zhicai said helplessly. Because it was winter, they had to dig the frozen soil. This made them even more excused to find the grinder.

"Ugh." Cao Cao also felt helpless, originally trench operations could be turned into offensive operations, but now it seems that their original intentions have been completely changed. The trench turned into positional warfare, into a passive, passive mode of warfare. The impact of this mode of warfare is very great, the morale is constantly being exhausted little by little, and the worst thing is that the trench warfare has brought a lot of consumption of materials, and various problems continue to occur.

"Many soldiers in our army have all kinds of problems with their feet and legs. Epidemic of disease. If we can't solve it as soon as possible, these diseases will create more trouble for us to the greatest extent, and this kind of trouble will form a great disadvantage for us. This situation is a big problem for us. Xi Zhicai said worriedly.

The dampness in the permafrost is very large, and many soldiers' shoes are extremely poor, and they simply cannot cope with such a large damp in the permafrost, so many people suffer from beriberi to varying degrees. And it's very contagious. Plus the epidemic of various diseases. This situation is a big blow to morale and to the offensive operations that may occur in the future, and in such a situation, it is almost impossible to achieve greater development, and in such a situation, if you want to achieve greater development, you must do other things well.

The state of the war has made their situation more aware of other things, how such things can be accomplished.

"I simply don't have any other way to do this kind of thing, it takes a lot of investment." Cao Cao said helplessly.

At present, some of the logistics materials of the Kwantung Coalition Army need to be raised by themselves, and the longer it takes, the more serious the consumption of materials will be. Therefore, some officials are simply not willing to continue to invest. In such a situation, it is unlikely that more resources will be invested in medical care, which is the biggest trouble for them.

However, the Kwantung Coalition Army was originally a coalition army that was temporarily put together, and the logistics were naturally in charge of themselves, that is, the grain and grass were supplied together. Investing more in medical care is obviously not the mind of all people, and they don't have such ideas to do such things, and it is obviously impossible to achieve such a situation in such a situation.

Therefore, in medical treatment, in many cases, Cao Cao is also willing but powerless, after all, this kind of thing is not something that can be done if you want to do it.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

Shangwu put down a report. This is a report submitted by Zhang Zhongjing on the prevention of the epidemic, in which he explains the severity of the plague, mainly in terms of the conditions of the current outbreak.

The IRA controlled the city well, the development of the city, the concentration of the population, the promotion of urban sanitation, and the great progress in heating, medicine distribution, management, and personal hygiene. This is mainly reflected in personal hygiene, and there are several bathhouses in each neighborhood. If possible, the individual residences also have bathing facilities. Maintaining personal hygiene is already a normal thing.

Coupled with the constant emergence of hospitals and pharmacies. All these have made it possible to prevent and control large-scale outbreaks of plague.

But. The unexpected places in the areas controlled by the Republican Army are very unoptimistic, which still has great conditions to promote the large-scale outbreak of the plague. For example, personal hygiene, the abundance of food can also lead to the further spread of the plague. Because in the absence of food, the flow of people will be accelerated, and in this accelerated process, everyone will know what will happen, and death will accompany it all the way.

These are just natural conditions, and the worst is man-made disasters, that is, the effects of large-scale wars, and after the outbreak of war, the corpses are not cleaned up in time. This will further lead to the massive spread of the plague.

It was under these conditions that Zhang Zhongjing submitted a relevant report. In the report, it was pointed out that the death toll of the plague was much higher than that of the war, and that the IRA needed more labor. From the perspective of humanitarianism, they need to deal with the plague even more, and not only that, they want to be able to give more relief. So, it's a very big expense.

"Zhang Zhongjing's report looks very good, but it is a bit one-sided, and it is just a matter of looking at such issues from a medical point of view." Jia Xu said.

"Hmm." Shang Wu nodded.

"The most important thing is the cost, we need to spend a lot of money on the prevention and control of the plague, which is a big trouble for us, and it may not have any effect." Jia Xu said. For this fee. Jia Xu believes that it is necessary, but how to spend it is the biggest problem. If it is given directly to the people in those places, most of them are greedy for this fee. They are bound to do so.

"What if we did it ourselves?" Shangwu asked.

"Personally, I don't think it's working out too well. You should be aware of the current situation, just by us to build a hospital, and how to ensure the lives of those medical staff? How to deal with the pressure of prevention and control, the plague cannot be solved by one hospital. Jia Xu objected.

"yes, but we have to do it, provide some medical assistance, expand our reach. As for the plague, how to avoid it, this is not as simple as we can think to solve such problems. Shang Wu said.

"It's very troublesome, and it's very limited." Jia Xu objected.

Jia Xu knows very well how powerful the plague is, but it is only in a situation like this that it is difficult to achieve complete prevention and control. The worst-case scenario is that they have to deal with a variety of other threats to deal with the situation, and if they can do that, their situation will inevitably become much more favorable.

There was no need for the IRA to spend such a sum of money specifically to control the plague, because in the end it could not be cured, and the money spent directed to increase the already large financial resources of the IRA.

Jia Xu believes that the IRA can completely avoid such a situation.

"But we need to show our attitude, this is our attitude, we don't want the plague to interfere with us, the best thing to do is to deal with him, this is our responsibility." Shang Wu said. Jia Xu nodded helplessly in agreement.
