"If the opponent also has such a fortress and has enough troops to defend it, I will never attack it forcefully. This is completely thankless. This kind of fortress is a meat grinder." Li Xinghong said flatly.

"The best way to crack this kind of fortress is to use large-caliber heavy artillery and fire armor-piercing shells. Before the fortress is blown up or a gap is blown, infantry cannot be used blindly to attack the city. Otherwise, there will be heavy casualties." Chen Tianhua explained this.

When planting a bastion, adjust the effectiveness of heavy artillery.

In future wars, artillery will often be the key weapon that determines the outcome of a battle.

"How many shells will that cost?" Ji Chunsheng and the others clicked their tongues.

"So, future wars will be a waste of money, and heavy artillery and large-scale bombing, carpet bombing, and indiscriminate bombing are all important features of future wars." Chen Tianhua emphasized to everyone.

Of course, he could not mention the case of the United States using steel to create a new overlord during World War II.

Everyone was smacking their lips and licking their tongues after hearing this. They looked very surprised, but they also thought it was quite reasonable. The Generalissimo's incisive analysis and forward-thinking thinking about war made everyone even more impressed.

Since Wuchang, the national administrative center, is still under construction and many functional departments are scattered to the surrounding areas, Nanjing has become the accompanying capital during the transition period and the first choice for many departments.

Xu Yunyuan and his Military Investigation Department headquarters are also temporarily located in Nanjing.

The Military Adjustment Department has a prominent reputation in the Zhejiang Army, but in the newly established New Army of the Republic of China, she is relatively unknown. Even the senior figures in the New Army do not know much about her.

But in just over half a year, the Military Adjustment Department began to expand at a frightening speed and involved all aspects of the New Army of the Republic organization. Everyone could not help but become increasingly wary of this special department.

According to Chen Tianhua's internal orders, each regiment under the Republican Army is equipped with a military intelligence team. The personnel of this team are all from the Military Adjustment Department. Former generals of each regiment have no right to interfere with the personnel of the military intelligence team, but they can collect various intelligence.

These are just manpower on the surface. Secretly, no one knows how many shadows the Military Adjustment Department has in the army. It may be an ordinary soldier or a team officer.

At first everyone didn't take it seriously, but soon they started to be wary of it, and many stories happened in the process.

The most talked about thing is a new regiment commander in the Hubei army. He fell in love with a brothel maid and often touched the maid's bed at night. Except for his horse, everyone was covered.

In the drum.

Until one day, Luo Erhu, the commander of the Republican Army stationed in Hubei, summoned him and took out a report, which listed the time he went to the maid's house on a certain day of the month, when he left, and how many times a month.

The data is very detailed.

The regiment leader made a big fuss, and finally, under Luo Erhu's order, the regiment leader married the maid, and the matter was settled.

The second was an internal gambling incident. Jiang Yiwu, Sun Wu and others from the General Staff were very critical of Gu Zhunian's meteoric rise in position. They planned to blackmail him and made an appointment with Gu Zhunian to play cards one day.

Ever since Gu Zhunian became the commander of the Capital Garrison, he has always had an inexplicable rift with these major generals of the former Hubei New Army. Although he has tried to improve the relationship several times, Gu Zhunian is also a high-minded person.

Even though he is an arrogant character, he can't save face and takes the initiative to accompany his smiling face.

As soon as he heard that these people invited him to play cards, he thought it was a good opportunity and went over happily.

Before the third watch of the night, he not only lost all the money he had, but also lost a lot of his army's pay.

Gu Zhunian also got angry. He was naked and his eyes were red. He borrowed money from Sun Wu with a high interest rate of one penny per day, saying that he would make money and fight again.

At this moment, the Generalissimo's Mansion suddenly sent someone to deliver a letter to Sun Wu in person. The letter not only told the story of how several people secretly plotted against Gu Zhunian, but also how they played tricks on the cards.

Speak clearly.

Sun Wu and others, who broke out in a cold sweat, immediately stopped and not only returned the money to Gu Zhunian, but also treated him to a nice meal of wine.

As for Gu Zhunian, he is a smart man, so he can just pretend to be deaf and make fun of him.

After this incident and that drink, the relationship between them seemed to be much harmonious on the surface.

Sun Wu, Jiang Yiwu and others were sweating profusely when they thought of the all-pervasive shadow of the Military Adjustment Department.

These two incidents slowly spread among the New Republican Army. When many generals saw Xu Yunyuan and her military personnel, they acted as if they had seen a ghost and were afraid to avoid her.

However, Li Xinghong, Sun Wu, Jiang Yiwu and others often met Xu Yunyuan at high-level military meetings.

Whenever they see Xu Yunyuan's thin, charming and beautiful face at some meetings, many people will secretly scream in their hearts, she is a femme fatale.

The terrifying woman who did these things can only be tolerated by the Generalissimo. Everyone often slandered the private affairs between the Generalissimo and the femme fatale. Many senior officials in the Republican Army Headquarters, especially the revolutionaries who came from the Hubei Qing Army

Party members, they often make assumptions in their minds.

But no one dared to say it out loud. If this femme fatale knew about it, she would probably find out and write it down in the report if the breeze blows a few times at night. That would be very embarrassing.

Now, Xu Yunyuan's headquarters is temporarily located in Nanjing, which makes Li Xinghong, Yang Shanxin, the butcher, the bald man, the one-armed Jiang Wu and others feel like thorns on their backs, making them feel uncomfortable.

The Grand Marshal has ordered that every fifth and tenth day of the month, regular work meetings will be held in various places to inform everyone about matters within their scope of authority, progress or difficulties encountered, and the chief officer will coordinate and deal with them on the spot.

On this day, May 5th, the regular meeting of Jiangsu Province was held as normal.

Of course, the military is the current focus. After several commanders of the military brigade spoke, Xu Yunyuan opened the file in front of her, glanced at the audience, and then began to speak.

The brigade leaders who were swept by her all felt a chill in their necks. They thought carefully and confirmed that they had been following the rules during this period before they calmed down and started the meeting.

"Commander Li, Governor Liao, bureau directors, and brigade commanders."

Xu Yunyuan's pleasant voice rang in everyone's ears, "The Military Adjustment Department has confirmed that the southern Guangdong Army is expanding its troops in various places recently, and the Shanghai Army is also preparing to move. Jiang Zunliang is preparing to expand its main force into a division."

"It is reported that the Guangdong Guangdong Army has allocated 30% of its weapons and equipment from the Southern Manufacturing Bureau and will be shipped to Shanghai in the near future. Chen Qimei is building a military dock in Jinshanwei for loading and unloading and gathering grain, grass and ordnance."

"It can be confirmed that the Shanghai army has a tendency to expand to southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang. I hope Commander Li and the generals will pay attention."

"When will their arms fleet arrive in the Zhoushan and Xiangshan areas of the East China Sea?" Li Xinghong asked.

"In about five days."
