"Kill." The shouts of killing were deafening. The Flying Bear Army quickly attacked Sun Jianbu, the vanguard of the Kwantung Coalition Army. Sun Jianbu was caught off guard, their scouts couldn't react quickly, even if they found each other, the Flying Bear Army was a cavalry unit, and they rushed over quickly, Sun Jianbu was resting, and he was caught off guard at all, and he was beaten and lost his armor.

"Lord, go quickly." Zumao was not fully dressed, he just rushed out with a spear to block the advance spearhead of the enemy's attack.

"Hurry up, my lord." Cheng Pu and the others grabbed Sun Jian and left quickly, they had to retreat and reorganize their forces before they could fight again. Otherwise, it will be difficult to launch a larger-scale attack.

"The thief is gone." In front of him was General Hua Xiong. He commanded the Flying Bear Army to launch a sneak attack. The purpose of this sneak attack is only to harass or demoralize the other side, and it is not very important how much success can be achieved. But unexpectedly, the other party did not strengthen their defense, perhaps this has a lot to do with the fact that they did not fight too much and relaxed their vigilance.

"Hugh is rampant." Zu Mao shouted loudly without fear at all.

"Bang. Bang bang. "There was a sound of firearms being fired, and some of the officers of the Flying Bear Army were equipped with hand-held firearms, the range of this firearm was not too far, but it launched a wave before the impact, and it was also an effective blow to the enemy's formation, so that they could impact, and the hand-held firearm was comparable to the same thing, the key is that he could cause a lot of panic on the other side.

"Ahh Zu Mao was shot in multiple places.

"Ahh A scream ensued.

"Poof." Zu Mao's chest was pierced by a spear. Then he fell to the ground. Zu Mao was assassinated by Hua Xiong in this way, and as for how he was killed, others are not very clear. What Fang Zheng knew was that Sun Jian was disorganized and lost hundreds of soldiers before they slowly gathered up. And the Flying Bear Army didn't plan to go deep in the first place, so such a battle is over.

This could only be a skirmish contact in an outpost battle, but for the Kwantung coalition forces, it was a significant part of the loss of morale.

Bishui Pass. on the fortifications outside the city.

"It's not saved. I can only pull it out and throw it. A middle-aged man said indifferently. They have seen too many such situations. There is only one meal a day, and the meal begins with gruel. There is not much rice in the gruel at all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they can count it. But even so, sometimes it is not available, and their work intensity is very high.

Dong Zhuojun didn't cherish them at all, he didn't even treat them as good as animals, those animals could still eat some forage, but they were not as good as anything.

"No more. I can't eat it, and with this breath, I really can't get up. So be it. A thin old man said helplessly.

"But, but, he's still alive." One young man said worriedly that his clothes were extremely thin. In the cold weather, his whole body was red and shivering.

"Alas, it's fate, and it won't be long before we're going somewhere." The old man shook his head helplessly.

The young man looked at the crowd, and the two men carried the body to the car, where there were already several layers of corpses. Some people also kept making ** sounds, which was their last life's cry for help. It's very uncomfortable and uncomfortable to listen to. But no one will reach out. All of them are well aware that sooner or later they will also have such a day,

Their work is very intense, and there is no place to sleep, even a straw hut is good, no, they are all concentrated in the tunnels at night, and the cold winter can take many lives in just one night. Those who rise continue to work, and those who die are cleaned. And it won't be long before more people die.

This will continue for a long, long time.

The IRA correspondent, who is an observer, is very worried about this.

The people who built the fortifications died in large numbers, and the specific number of deaths, those Dong Zhuojun officers themselves did not know, what they knew was that a large ravine had been quickly filled. Soon another ravine will be filled. They don't know exactly how many died, they never cared about it, they had a great contempt for life. The consequence of this contempt is a massive decline in the number of people.

"If effective measures are not taken to protect it, the results will be very unfavorable." In the subsequent report, the observer sent a telegram to Lijiazhuang.

Because if you do it. will lead to the entire Luoyang will become an empty city.

On the railroad to Zezhou. Ma Heng got off the train to check the condition on the road.

"Sir, the train is basically impassable here. There is a detour ahead, and the construction is very difficult. A staff officer explained to Ma Heng.

"Is this how the soldiers and the supplies get out of the car and go around?" Ma Heng asked.

"Yes, sir, there is still a section ahead of us, and the train can increase some speed and speed up the transport. But. The staff officer stopped, and then stopped.

"Going on, I want to know what the hell is going on. I'm here to solve the problem, and I don't look like it's the problem. He said.

"Yes, sir, there are twenty-three such cases ahead, and the shortest driving distance is less than two miles. Because it's mountainous here. The construction is very difficult. The staff officer said.

"It's a joke, it's going to waste a long time, what will happen if there is a war in front and the supplies in the rear can't be transported?" Ma Heng asked.

Ma Heng had fought in battles, and he knew that the Republican Army's requirements for logistical supplies were very high, and to what extent, if the supply was cut off for one day, their situation would be in a very unfavorable situation, and this would be extremely dangerous for the Republican Army's operations.

The traffic situation in Danze made Ma Heng very worried.

"These sections of the road must be connected to form a strong support, so that our situation can become more favorable, otherwise, it will be a great threat to us, and the congestion caused will be fatal." He said.

However, the problem of logistical supply is not solved all at once, especially in the current situation, which requires more help from the construction side, but this situation continues. They were worried that they wouldn't be able to accomplish something like this. This would be an extremely troublesome situation for them.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"The problem in Hexi has been partially resolved. Locally organized mobile militias to sign up to participate in some of the cases of their own protection. Jia Xu said.

Shang Wu nodded. In view of the shortcomings of the small number of militias in the Hexi region, the Republican Army has taken a lot of measures, especially in some local situations, they have organized floating populations to sign up and carry out paid recruitment, so that they can ensure that they have more than 3,000 militia to use, if the population is larger, the number of businessmen may be further increased out of the need to protect their own warehouses, which is a great good news for the defense of Hexi.

"The problem in Hexi has been solved for the time being. As long as there are three thousand men, we can withstand the attack of the other side. And get reinforcements to arrive in time to launch a counterattack. Shang Wu said.

"The problems in Hexi have been solved to a certain extent, but some practical problems have not been greatly improved, for example, some of the current situations are also very bad for us." Jia Xu said.

"The population of Luoyang is rapidly decreasing, and our hope is not to have an empty city, but Dong Zhuo is reducing the number of people on a large scale. At least more than 20,000 people died in the construction of fortifications on the front line, which is a conservative estimate, because there are still many places where there are no statistics at all. Coupled with the harsh weather conditions, plagues can emerge and the number of deaths from disease can increase to an outcome that none of us want to see. If this continues to happen, the result will be that more people will be killed. Jia Xu said.

Shang Wu felt his scalp tingle, because it was a very unfavorable situation for them.

"We really don't want to see an empty city." Shang Wu said heavily.

"But we don't have the strength to expand our influence in this area, we can't send troops ahead of schedule, and the reports provided by the General Staff say that there are big problems with our logistical supply and that the situation of sending troops may need to be delayed." Shang Wu said.

"It also takes a lot of money to treat these people, which pushes up our costs this time, but, if there is no one, we only get an empty city, and we can't effectively make up for our losses, we can provide arms in exchange for the other party's people, I make a suggestion." Jia Xu thought for a moment.

"We can directly settle these people in the vicinity of Luoyang, give us an area, and we provide supplies in exchange for these people, so that our situation can be guaranteed as much as possible. The other side needs strength, ammunition, arms and weapons, and we need people. People, people will be very important. Jia Xu emphasized.

Shangwu nodded in agreement.

"Just do it, otherwise, you'll really just give us an empty city. In that case, we won't have the opportunity to cry. Shang Wu said helplessly.

Jia Xu very much agrees with this approach, because they really don't have anyone.

The situation of the war will cause the greatest number of civilian casualties, and only a larger population can control more resource advantages, in the final analysis, the development of national strength still requires manpower to transform, and the number of cities can not simply expand the strength, which they all have a clear understanding of, in this way, for them, it is also an extremely favorable situation.
