393 lure the wolf into the house
"I think it's easier to find opponents. Such opponents are easy to find. Jia Xu said.
"It's easy to find, I don't think it's easy, let's analyze, we can't continue the war against the north. Anyway, we can't get entangled with the Black Mountain thieves, if we continue like this, we will consume a lot of resources on them, which is extremely unfavorable to us, and such a thing cannot be carried on. Shang Wu said.
"The North was canceled. What we should do now is to find a way to solve the problem in the north, and we can't fight with the Montenegrin thieves, who are easy to fight, but they are also easy to fall into. If we can't control it, our situation will become extremely unfavorable. Jia Xu nodded and said. For the situation in the north, the measures taken by the martial arts are rhythmic strikes, that is, after the strikes. Swift peace talks to promote trade, low-intensity fighting. After all, this is not the main fighting direction of the Republican Army. Their target is still the grasslands.
"It's impossible in the east, it's impossible for us to fight with the imperial court, and the only direction of combat is the west." Jia Xu said.
"yes. The only direction is to think, we can't fight in the south. If there were a dozen of them, the entire trade bazaar that Handan had managed to build with great difficulty would collapse at once. Our losses are even greater. Shang Wu said.
"So, we can't attack in the south, but there's nothing to do in the west. We can't mess around with things, can we. Shang Wu said. Shangwu ordered the intelligence department to provide more than 1,000 muskets to be transported to Hedong, in order to support the greater development of Guo Tai's cause, so that their situation could be greatly improved, but the problem was that after they shipped more and more weapons and equipment. Hedong was unable to launch a large-scale offensive for a long time. This made Shangwu very anxious.
"In that case, are we going to add fuel to the fire, or do something we can do, we can pretend to be them and attack, you see, how?" Jia Xu asked.
"I'm afraid it's not good to do that. In that case, we are not in a good situation. Shang Wu said worriedly.
"You're worried about going too far?" Jia Xu asked Shangwu.
"Yes, if once things are done too much. will be found out by the other party. In that case, things will turn out to be unfavorable for us. Shang Wu said.
"Don't worry, that's the only way we can solve this problem. I think that's the only way to do that. Jia Xu persuaded. He didn't know why Shang Wu refused, but Jia Xu believed that Shang Wu might be in some moral reluctance to do so.
"Well, I think, we can do this, in this way, many of our things can be solved, in this way, most things can also get better, Guo Taibu must have been in trouble when solving some problems, we should reach out and solve such problems, in this way, most things can be solved." It's also something that we can speed up the process. Shang Wu said embarrassedly.
"But in that case, there's some conspiracy." Shang Wu continued.
"Yes, it looks like there is some conspiracy, but there is no way, what will happen if we don't send troops. The pressure on us will become greater, and more resources will not be developed. In this way, our losses will be even greater, resources, we need more and more resources, and without such many resources, we will not be able to develop. Jia Xu said. Shang Wu nodded. They need more resources, and only a large-scale offensive can alleviate such a situation. They need more land, more iron ore, more coal, and more food. The trade situation in the base areas can no longer meet such a situation.
"So, that's all we can do, and if we do that, all the problems will be solved." Jia Xu said.
"Hmm. Well, it looks like we're going to have to come up with some detailed solutions. "Sangmu doesn't want to use conspiracy to solve such problems, which has a big impact on the future, and he doesn't want everything to sink into conspiracy. But there is no way around it. Because they've got to a point where if they don't solve the problem, everything will get difficult, it's going to be too hard, it's going to be too hard. Sangmu couldn't see that.
Huguan, headquarters of the 3rd Infantry Division.
"The engineering troops, the surveying and mapping units, and the reconnaissance units want to find a way to get some details about it, and we need that kind of information. and intelligence. Ma Heng said.
"Maps, intelligence, guides, such work must be carried out in a timely manner, and at the same time, I have decided to move our headquarters to the eldest son to conduct command operations nearby, so as to facilitate the collection and analysis of our intelligence." Ma Heng said. Ma Heng is already preparing for such a thing. A large number of sentinels have been dispatched. Not only that, but the only surveyors quietly went over to map and map.
Because war requires a lot of intelligence. Map. These are of great importance to the war. They will play a huge role in future wars.
"Sir, we need too much information. Too much. And some of the developments on the ground do not know how to solve them. A major staff officer said.
"I know you're worried that intelligence isn't gathering fast enough. There is also the development of the situation, and if it continues like this, many things will be different. The staff officer said worriedly.
"I see. I've already applied. It was decided to extend the telegraph further into a larger area, and the next telegraph station was set up in the eldest son, along which the cable was replenished farther away. In this way, all the problems can be solved. Ma Heng said. He knew that the telegraph could lead to faster delivery of intelligence.
"In that case, the problem is solved." The staff officer said.
"Report." A communications staff officer hurried in.
"Just take it and I'll see for myself." Ma Heng said.
"Yes, sir." The staff officer handed over a piece of information to Ma Heng. There's a lot of intelligence. Looks like there are a lot of reports. Ma Heng looked over quickly.
"Oh my God. This is big information. Such a big piece of information would lead to an even greater disaster. "After Ma Heng saw it, he knew that something big had happened.
"Quick. Send it out immediately. Ma Heng said.
"At the same time, transcribing, conducting a comprehensive study. Damn it. These Yellow Turbans, how can they think like this. Ma Heng said anxiously after reading it.
The information came from their Observer Mission, and one of their observers obtained some marginal information through peripheral contact, which was then confirmed little by little through marginal intelligence. They came to an astonishing conclusion, which surprised everyone.
The Huns, Guo Tai thought that his military strength was too weak. Although it has been strengthened to a certain extent, the number is relatively not too large. The increased firepower is very limited. So what they were worried about was that they wouldn't be able to take more ground, so they contacted the Huns all at once, because the Huns had cavalry troops, and they could do many, many things.
But for the IRA, it's a **annoyance. Originally, when they were still deliberating on the issue of Hedong. I didn't expect Hedong to bring them a big, big problem. That was the addition of the Hun cavalry.
When they sent the telegram, they were also copying it one after another. This information is a real annoyance for them.
"How many Hun cavalry will come, sir? If there are more than 30,000 people, we will have one division and one brigade, and there will only be one or three brigades. The strength of six infantry regiments, plus the reinforcement of firepower. Our situation may not be so good. A staff officer calculated.
"This is still infantry fighting cavalry. Cavalry was more mobile. We can't beat it at all, and if we continue like this, our situation is too bad. A staff officer said. It happened suddenly. Suddenly to all the people who think that they have encountered a most difficult thing to solve.
Lijiazhuang. War Department. Shang Wu and Jia Xu were discussing the specific details of the intelligence. Ma Heng's telegram came.
"Damn Mrs. Guo, how can they do this. This Hun cavalry is a pack of wolves. Let them in, that's luring the wolf in. Shang Wu read the telegram and scolded loudly.
"Alas. It's easy to bring in the Hun cavalry, but it's hard to send them out. Jia Xu said this, seeing such intelligence. He really didn't know how to deal with it.
"The situation of the war will change a lot. We can't mix with the Yellow Turbans anymore. Or we win them over and drive out the Hun cavalry. Jia Xu said.
"Hmm. But our combat has become much more difficult. Forget it, we must end the operation in the north as soon as possible, quickly mobilize the second infantry division to the south, take over the defense of the first infantry division, let the first infantry division quickly advance westward, enter the Taihang Mountain area, and give them two infantry brigades to supplement them will form a great advantage for us. In this way, all the problems can be solved. Shang Wu said.
"With the mobilization of two brigades, I think such a situation can be accomplished, but this situation cannot be developed very well." Jia Xu said worriedly.
"yes. When they did this, they originally thought it wasn't annoying. But now, the trouble is even greater. Our situation has become the worst. Shang Wu said worriedly.
"Come on one by one, we can't hide." Jia Xu said.
