In this way, every two or three days, Zhu Fugui has to harass Hu Po.

Fortunately, the latter has a very high political consciousness, and no matter what order is sent by the military department, he will reply as soon as possible.

This is not some wolf story.

The military department itself should maintain communication with the front line every three hours, and Zhu Fugui is just helping to train the front-line commanders to maintain their attention, and he is definitely not idle and boring.

Well, absolutely not!

In addition, it can also be seen from the content of the telegram that the Fengdu-Omaha railway under construction showed strong strategic value in this war.

Not only can the third division be quickly sent to the central region, but as long as it relies on the railway to fight, the supply of the Ming army is almost unlimited.

Finally, on February 28, the last day of February of the third year of Dewu, Zhu Fugui received the first official combat report from Mo Bai:

At 8:40 on the 27th, the cavalry company directly under our division carried out an expanded reconnaissance mission and encountered the enemy's patrol militia.

Our troops first opened fire on the enemy, killing 28 enemy soldiers and taking no prisoners.

At 10:30, the Xiong Hei Division, Zhao Xizhu Division, and Zhang Jin Division of the Second Brigade of our division launched a joint encirclement of the Three Indiana Militia Corps in the northwest.

At the same time, the motorized units of our division headquarters and the 1st and 3rd brigades rushed 60 kilometers, interspersed into the valley area behind the enemy, intercepted their rear roads, and encircled the points to send reinforcements.

Successively defeated three batches of enemy reinforcements.

By 17:00 on the 28th, the Indiana Militia Regiment had been completely annihilated, with 4,323 dead and no prisoners.

……

Looking at Mo Bai's battle report, the corners of Zhu Fugui's mouth twitched......

Why do you know the enemy's disposition so clearly, and you say that there are no prisoners, how can you liar the ghosts......

Zhu Fugui remembered that when Mo Bai was a small banner in the past, there were few prisoners in battle.

This kid is really black!

However, in Zhu Fugui's view, as long as you don't engage in torture and killing, it's okay.

In August last year, the Swiss government convened an international conference in Geneva with the participation of France, Italy, Spain and other countries. On 22 August, the 12 participating countries signed the Convention on the Amelioration of the Situation of the Wounded in Armed Forces in the Field (also known as the Universal Red Cross Convention).

It lays down the principle of recognizing that the wounded and sick of both sides of the hostilities should be treated humanely in all circumstances without distinction; It is forbidden to inflict any danger or atrocity on the life and person of the wounded or sick, in particular murder, torture, biological experimentation or wilful denial of medical assistance and care; Medical units and their buildings, equipment and personnel shall be inviolable, provided that they are clearly marked with a red cross or red crescent on a white background.

This was the prototype of what would become the Fourth Geneva Convention.

But this thing......

Just listen to it.

In recent years, the people of the United States are still cutting each other's scalps with the Indians, who cares about you?

Not to mention, even during World War II, this thing was a dead letter.

Su Xiong entered Berlin to liquidate the war and directly declared that the German army did not apply the relevant treaties.

And what about the attitudes of Churchill and Roosevelt?

Georgia's loving father gave them a phone call beforehand, guess what they replied?

Anyway, the final result was Su Xiong's knife, and Yingmei didn't see it.

Besides, with Zhu Fugui's understanding of Mo Bai, he is not the kind of person who takes pleasure in torturing enemies.

I guess it's just to save trouble.

Later, Hu Po's telegram also confirmed Zhu Fugui's suspicion that Mo Bai had indeed shot the captives cleanly.

Although he did not object to his approach, the Ministry of War still issued a petition that the next time more than 500 prisoners were disposed of, it must be reported.

Only a minimum of 500 people can rule freely.

After all, the White Slave was also an indispensable and valuable resource for the Imperial Coal Mining Industry.

……

The progress of the war went unexpectedly smoothly.

The evolved Mi Army in Zhu Fugui's imagination did not appear.

The Federation continued to play music and dance, accepting the fate of being shot in a row.

This is completely different from the impression that Zhu Fugui learned since he was a child about the people of the United States who are brave and good at innovation.

These guys are surprisingly old-fashioned.

Even when there were cases where their subordinates shot and killed the front-line commander, their tactics did not change much.

However, the Ming side is not without losses.

After all, William Tecusay Sherman was the second most senior general in the American Civil War in the Northern Army after General Grant, and he was experienced and decisive.

When Sherman realized that there was a large railway behind the Ming to ensure supplies, he decisively organized an elite cavalry to carry out a surprise attack.

He proposed the action of "cutting off the braids".

Obviously, to this day, this guy still can't tell the difference between the Ming and the Manchu.

But what makes people even more speechless is that this famous general, who is good at long-distance cavalry attacks, actually accidentally captured a Chinese construction site that had not yet been naturalized Daming pigtails.

A large number of unarmed Chinese laborers and a small number of "Hua Yong" armed with light weapons fell in a pool of blood.

When the "Pennsylvania Brave" newspaper published a photo of him triumphantly tying the braids on the heads of Chinese workers and hanging them on the horse's head to show off his might and send them back to Fengdu, a secret telegram that was immediately dissolved was transmitted from the Marshal's Mansion to the front-line headquarters.

On this telegram sent to Mo Bai and Hu Po, Zhu Fugui no longer pretended to be Zhang Changgui's name, but wrote eight words in his own name: "Chief Xie's evil should be punished with death."

Capital punishment......

This is the highest penalty in the Ming Provisional Code, and it is even a sentence that is likely to be abolished in the future.

Naturally, it is not a cannon duel, it is the most traditional and classic - Ling Chi.

As a modern person, Zhu Fugui actually never thought that he would issue such an edict one day.

Keeping Ling Chi in the Provisional Code is nothing more than a policy inertia.

Even in Zhu Fugui's plan, catching Tongzhi's little kid in the future is just preparing for Donald to hang him with a bowstring.

This can only be said to be insulting, but it is definitely not cruel.

But in the face of Sherman, the initiator of the "three-light policy", looking at the arrogant expression on his face, Zhu Fugui decided to let him die with the highest ritual in the East.

To tell the truth, Da Ming is not kind to white people, and Zhu Fugui may have some double standards.

But isn't the essence of human beings a double standard?

Instead of examining oneself, it is better to send one's enemies to hell and to be the judge of the future.

·

It is not a wise move to be angry and rejuvenate.

What's more, Zhu Fugui explicitly ordered Sherman to be captured alive and sentenced to death, which added a lot of difficulty to the front-line operations.

Zhu Fugui didn't want unnecessary losses because of this.

Therefore, to ensure that Sherman was captured alive, Ming Kai, who was the best in the aviation brigade, rushed to the front line.

Along with him, there is also the strongest reconnaissance drone that Zhu Fugui spent more than 3 million cultural values to procure-Tianyan No. 1.

This is not an ordinary drone with visual range, but a high-end cargo with SARM technology, a remote camera and aerial photography capabilities.

Although there is no night vision function and radar system, and the lack of Beidou navigation cannot achieve automatic reconnaissance and cruise, as an air-based reconnaissance unit, it is enough to outperform 100 scout teams.

What's more, the controller of Tianyan is still the ace second lieutenant Ming Kai of the aviation brigade.

If Jian Ziqiang's advantage lies in the accuracy of projection firepower, then the drone controlled by Ming Kai is the most survivable.

It can be said that even if the entire drone formation is shot down, the last one to survive must be Mingkai's drone.

It is precisely for this reason that the Tianyan, which is ten times more expensive than ordinary drones and has eight times the cultural value of ordinary drones, will be handed over to him to use.

Out of the blood, Zhu Fugui believes that his boys will definitely send back the good news of the arrest of Sherman as soon as possible.
