Hedong. Xiahe Village, which was the junction of the 1st Brigade of the 6th Brigade of the Republican Army and the 1st Baibo Army, occupied Xiahe Village and six nearby villages. As for the Sixth Brigade, they occupied fifteen villages in the surrounding area, and the White Polish Army had only one exit to play with the nearby White Polish Army.

But three days ago. The Republican Army continued its military exercises and blockaded it. As a result, the White Polish army here was besieged by about 2,000 people and could not get out. They were surrounded.

"Who?" A PKA private shouted loudly. He saw a group of people approaching.

"Sir, don't shoot, we are all villagers of Xiahe Village, and the village can't survive. Let's come to Shanghe Village. An old man shouted.

"Well, raise your hands and come slowly." Private shouted. A squad of infantry ambushed the perimeter. In recent days, there have been such people coming, of course, there are also deserters from the White Polish Army, most of them are ordinary people who have just joined the gang, and there is not enough food to eat, so they are expelled or loosen the control of them, and as a result, they run out.

"Come here one by one." A sergeant stepped forward and said. All he saw were ordinary people, and after a brief examination, he sent them to the rear. There was hot water there, there was food, and these people hadn't had enough to eat for a long time.

"Fellow, how's the situation over there?" The sergeant took some bread and gave it to the old man. The old man was drinking porridge.

"Over there, it's not good. The Bai Bo army was a group of brutes and snatched all the food. We couldn't live, we ran out. Sir. Hurry up and get rid of these beasts. They're really not things. The old man said.

"Before, I thought they were not bad, they were all born poor, and there was no way to resist the imperial court. But now, they do everything that hurts nature. It's not human. The old man said.

"How many of them are there?" The sergeant asked.

"There are more than 500 of them in the core, and the rest are some people who have been coerced in the vicinity, they are all good children, there is no way to control them." The old man said.

"Do you know where they live?" The sergeant then asked, this is the simplest source of intelligence.

"Know, know, Xiaowangzhuang is their lair. We were stationed in Xiahe Village, there were not many of them, less than a hundred people, and only two muskets. The rest are spears. The old man said. The sergeant quickly took notes. Then they asked other questions that would maximize their authenticity and validity, so that their situation would be much more favorable. That's the most important thing they should be doing right now.

Inside Ma Heng's headquarters.

"In the last three days, we have eaten three forces of more than 1,500 White Polish troops, and most of their combat effectiveness has been dug up. Coupled with our continuous encroachment and blockade, some White Polish troops voluntarily surrendered to us, and many of our base areas began to be connected. A staff officer introduced.

"Well, that's a pretty good job. In this way, our situation will be much better, for these White Polish troops, we will fight for what we can, and if we can't fight for them, we will eat them little by little, today we will eat 1,500 of them, tomorrow we will eat 1,500 of them again, or, we will eat separately, today we will separate their large share, 5,000 people, and then eat them in three days. In that case, it's a good situation for us. Ma Heng said. In the eyes of the Republican Army, they were a group of thugs, and as they expelled the Huns, most of the White Polish Army moved to the northern regions, and they decided to attack and annex the state. In the Hedong region, they left a piece of their own base area, but with the republican army's expulsion of the Huns, and the rapid development of the republican army's base area, they quickly ate some of the base areas of the White Polish army, and finally formed the current situation, in the base area of the republican army, quickly ate most of the white Polish army's control area, so that the white Polish army's control area was rapidly reduced, coupled with the continuous development of the republican army, formed a lot of small pieces of the white Polish army's control area, and such control areas over time, Little by little, they were eaten by the Republican Army, and in the end, they were completely eaten away.

This is Ma Heng's battle plan, although it is slow, but it is very effective. Thunder's military operation, although fast, can arouse the vigilance of the White Polish army. Instead, it slowly eats the other party and introduces the other party's situation into an extremely unfavorable situation. This is a new situation that they have never encountered before. Such a situation is a completely new kind of suppression for them.

"Sir, in contrast, we should pay more attention to the future battle plan, according to the request sent by the headquarters, we have formulated a series of Hexi harassment battle plans, and at the same time, our scouts have also begun to collect relevant intelligence." The staff officer said.

The future area of operation is Hexi, and the Republican Army has already begun to make preparations in this regard.

"Hmm. Take your time, we still have plenty of time, and the scale of this operation is controlled in one brigade. How much of a role this brigade can play, and at the same time, whether the recruits can persist in such a situation still requires a lot of new experience. Ma Heng said. In this operation, Ma Heng asked the recruits to also participate in the operation, which was the beginning of training the combat opportunities of the recruits, and the infantry regiment and the cavalry regiment fought together, and such a mixed establishment could greatly improve the degree of cooperation in the operation. At the same time, getting some recruits into it allows them to have a better development.

But it is not clear exactly which force will be sent to fight.

Boot camp. They have completed their final training. And a recruit review was conducted. When they walked past the reviewing stand in a neat line with bayonet rifles, they were all very happy and excited, and now they were finally full members of the Republican Army.

"Da Niu, your kid has a really good life, since you can enter the garrison regiment, do you know what it is? That's the elite. The sergeant major said with the roster. Recruits are assigned based on different performances and abilities, and they rarely make it to a team. This is done in such a way that there is no need to worry about them coming together and forming a small faction of their own.

"Malaysia. You're doing a good job too, 16th Infantry Regiment. That's a very good infantry regiment. The battle was brave. The sergeant major said.

"Thin man, I really didn't expect that you, this guy, would be able to enter the engineer regiment. The work there is very skillful, and you may be able to do it. Sergeant Major said.

"Stone, nice. I really don't know what those damn artillerymen fancy about you? They were going to transfer you to an artillery unit, and you guy was the only one to be transferred from an infantry unit to artillery. Good work, let's get a shot. Sergeant Major said with a smile.

"Hahaha." The soldiers burst out laughing. This is a kind of play on artillery. However, they generally have a good opinion of artillery, because they can provide superior firepower at critical times. Drama is play, in general, they are still the army.

"Oh. Take a look at our Chow Da. Unfortunately, your abilities are outstanding, I know you know a lot of words, you are a very good officer seed, but you still lack something, I hope you can be strict with yourself, to do a good job as an officer, this is a new military unit. Wolf Regiment. The number has not yet been decided, they have been promoted from an infantry battalion. But I think it's very big for you. Be strict with yourself, you are a capable person. I'm optimistic about you. The sergeant major said.

When Zhou Da heard this, his heart beat very hard. He did not know why such a unit was assigned, but, since it had already been assigned. He couldn't have made that choice. After all, such a situation is a no-choice for him.

The sergeant major had a lot to say to him, and he could feel that hope from the sergeant major. Because he is one of the few people in the army who can know more than 3,000 words, this is an ability, as long as Zhou Da continues to study, he may become the first officer among them.

"Alright. Remember your life here, this is your first starting point in the IRA. Salute. The sergeant major saluted.

All salute. And just like that, their recruits ended. But they were just getting started as Republican Army fighters.

Inside the Lijiazhuang Operations Department.

Shang Wu and Jia Xu looked at a telegram and were very helpless. Then they put the telegram directly aside.

"The imperial court doesn't care about our reasons or conditions at all, but wants to go back to Hedong directly. In that case, they think too well. Jia Xu said.

"Whatever? They are also a great challenge for us, and this challenge is also the beginning of a bad situation for us, and if we can handle this kind of thing properly, the situation may also be a good start for us. Shang Wu said.

"But if this stalemate continues, the imperial court will lose patience sooner or later, we must be prepared in this regard, at least we must deal with the pressure from the imperial court, and it is best to find a breakthrough point." Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. How about keeping the White Wave Army? Shang Wu asked.

"Even though they are very poor, it is not the time to eliminate them yet, and it is wisest to maintain relations with them." Jia Xu said.
