"Tell me your opinion on cavalry."

"The cavalry is a mobile and strategic unit. For..., the cavalry still plays a very important role, except... our Central Army has a mechanized truck delivery department.

Most of the country's army relies on marching. Mechanized troops are more effective than cavalry troops in the Jiangnan area where the roads are flat. In regional operations, mechanization is prone to problems, such as narrow roads, exhausted fuel, and mechanical failures. ... Both are enough to lead to changes in the war situation, but the cavalry is different, fighting in mountainous areas, the mobility of the cavalry is very high, no matter...

No matter what the weather is, as long as it is a place where people can walk, cavalry can enter the battlefield in a very short time."

"As far as the current North China battlefield is concerned, the cavalry is an indispensable force. The Jin area is composed of mountains and plains. Among them, the mountains account for the vast majority. Our army's mechanized troops are relatively slow to deploy in the mountains, and the mountain roads are rugged. Not only the cost of vehicles, but also the fuel consumption is a very large amount. The cavalry is different. They can gallop freely in the mountains of Jindi. , quickly penetrate the enemy's formation, and achieve the purpose of breaking through the enemy's formation."

"At present, we are fighting devils, and there are very few hand-to-hand combats.

,, But this does not mean that the cavalry will really withdraw from the arena of war, on the contrary, in some specific areas, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is several times that of the infantry."

Sun Shiquan said.

It can be seen that he does have research on cavalry combat, at least...... He has unique insights on the use of cavalry.

"If you were asked to train a cavalry, how would you train it?"

Liang Xiao asked.

"My job believes that we should learn from the riding training experience of the Ma family army. Of course, it is only for reference. We also have to have our own set of riding training experience. From my point of view, in the current war, we should train a group of sharpshooters on horseback. During mobile combat, quickly rush into the enemy's formation, and hit the enemy's machine gunner quickly with the speed of bullets, so as to achieve the effect of controlling the firepower on the battlefield. Secondly, fighting on horseback is mainly knife skills. It takes accumulated experience and hard training to master the art of killing the enemy."

Sun Shiquan said.

Liang Xiao nodded secretly, this Sun Shiquan is still quite capable, of course, based on these words alone, he would not hand over the cavalry unit to him.

"Go back and write a detailed cavalry training outline and cavalry combat research. After you write it, show it to me."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes, I will go back and write now."

Sun Shiquan instinctively felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity for him to seize the opportunity to form a cavalry unit. You must know that he yearned for cavalry units for a long time... for a day or two.

"Go."

Liang Xiao waved his hand and sent him away.

Chen Hua watched Staff Officer Sun leave, and smiled lightly, "What do you think?"

"good."

Liang Xiao asked lightly: "How is he in politics? Does he have...serious political tendencies?"

"It is understood that he has no obvious political inclinations and is a pure soldier."

Chen Huadao.

"That's good."

Liang Xiao smiled slightly. When he employs people now, he first looks at whether they have political inclinations. If the other party's political inclinations are too serious, he will not use them. He only focuses on pure soldiers, especially those who don't care about political affairs.

In his opinion, soldiers should be like this, don't ask about politics, only ask about war.

"General, so you intend to let him lead the cavalry"

Chen Hua asked with a light smile.

"It's not sure yet, it depends on whether he can live up to his expectations."

Liang Xiao said.

Chen Hua nodded lightly: "This time the New Tenth Army brought back so many horses for you, how do you want to reward Commander Cao?"

"Forget about rewards. They have already made military exploits in the North China battlefield, and the military and political council is also working on solving their staffing problems. This time, they will not be rewarded. When they make military exploits next time, I will personally ask the committee for their merits." .”

Liang Xiao said.

Chapter 544 Yan Laoxi Gets Angry

WWII Zone Command.

Commander Yan Laoxi was full of displeasure, and reprimanded his officers: "Look at your virtue. After several battles in the southeast of Shanxi, the Central Army wiped out three 3rd regiments of devils and seized 2000 soldiers. With so many war horses, the fifth division of the Devils is now seriously injured, and its strength has been reduced by half. If this continues, the fifth division will be completely wiped out without our Jinsui army taking action."

"Look at you, you have been thinking about how to defeat the little devils all day long, but in the end, the Central Army wiped out the three 3rd regiments of the devils quietly. I support you and let you fight the devils to protect the place, but You guys are good, you know that on paper, after such a long time, you either lost the battle or...were robbed of the territory by the devils, and you didn't even pull off a devil's hair."

"How much military expenses do I have to feed you a month? It's all a waste of money. You guys...fuck me up, they can wipe out three 3rd alliances." Why can't you eliminate one and a half alliances, or even half an alliance, at least...to let my old face live."

"Right now someone in the central government is watching my jokes, and other theaters are watching my jokes. This is a disgrace, a great shame. On the territory of our Jinsui Army, the Central Army has won consecutive battles and victories. You will give me this old face. It's gone."

Following Yan Laoxi's angry voices one after another.

The generals below did not dare to show their pride. In the previous battles, the performance of the Jinsui Army was indeed terrible. With weapons comparable to the Central Army, a division could not even beat a brigade of devils.

"Tell me about you, what the hell are you? When you fight against each other, let you fight the little devils, and you will be more embarrassed than the other. It will embarrass our Jin army."

Yan Laoxi was puzzled after cursing, and cursed again: "Anyway... I don't care, the Central Army can destroy the three 3rd regiments of the devils, and you should also destroy the three 3rd regiments of the devils, or if it is not good, you must also destroy the devils Two alliances, no matter how bad it is, we have to destroy the three 3rd alliances of the devils."

After hearing this, all the generals frowned, one division couldn't even defeat one brigade, and one army could at most kill one or two brigades of the devils, let them kill three 3rd regiments of the devils, let alone You also have to use three or four 34th armies, with 8000 troops to deal with the devils and 78 people,,, that is [-]% to [-]%, [-]% chance of winning.

"Old sir, it's not that our brothers don't work hard. It's just that we can't beat the little devil. Don't look at the little devil, he is really desperate to fight. The guys in their hands are even stronger than ours. Three or eight big cover The penetrating power of the army is stronger than that of the Chinese army. Their infantry bombarded us, and our forward position was like a rock falling from the mountain. The soldiers are all flesh and blood, so how can they withstand the artillery fire of the devils."

Commander Wan said.

"fart."

Yan Laoxi scolded angrily: "You guys are not even as good as pigs, are the guys from the Central Army better than you? no"

"Old sir, the reason why the Central Army is able to fight is all thanks to the New Tenth Army. You also know that the Second and Sixth Army under Commander Liang are all elite soldiers. On the battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River, killing devils is like playing tricks." It's like, but he didn't see that the Central China Dispatch Army and the Shanghai Dispatch Army were annihilated by him one after another, and the Songhu area, which the Wan Guo Army could not defend, was taken back from the devils. How can we compare with him?"

Commander Wan lowered his head and said bitterly.

"Trash, it's all fucking trash, Liang Feiyu's New Tenth Army has only been formed for how long, it has shitty fighting power, how long have you been in the army, each of you is an elite tiger wolf, and when it comes to the battlefield, it is not even as good as other recruits. In my opinion, Soldier loves one, will love a nest, fundamentally speaking, it's your problem, and you don't even know it."

Yan Laoxi scolded his mother angrily.

"Yes, yes, yes, what the old officer scolded was that we must train hard in the future and keep up with the Central Army."

Zhang Jun said.

"It's almost there."

Yan Laoxi's anger calmed down a bit, and he said: "Liang Xiao has won such a big victory this time, you all talk about how I, the commander of the World War II zone, should deal with myself, should we also win a few battles? Show Liang Xiao, don't let others look down on you, think that our Jinsui Army is just... some miscellaneous troops."

"Old sir, according to my humble observations, the Fifth Division didn't look for opportunities to retaliate after losing half of its troops. It may be because Liang Xiao is not easy to provoke, and the devils dare not act rashly. After winning the battle, Liang Xiao did not have any abnormal movements. , I heard that he is busy forming a cavalry unit, and he doesn't even have time to talk to the Fifth Division."

"Just as Liang Xiao was busy... forming a cavalry unit, our Jinsui Army dispatched troops to wipe out the Fifth Division on the front line of Taiyuan and Linfen."

Wanjun said.

When Yan Laoxi heard it, this was an opportunity. Taking advantage of the fact that the Fifth Division had just lost half of its troops, and several important towns on the plain were also captured by Liang Xiao, the Jinsui Army would surely succeed in one fell swoop. It is still unknown whether the Jinsui Army's strength in Linfen and Taiyuan can beat the Fifth Division. After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

"In your opinion, how should we arrange to annihilate the rest of the Fifth Division?"

Yan Laoxi asked.

"Based on my humble opinion, the 34th Army and 35th Army can definitely wipe out the devils in Linfen and Taiyuan."

Wanjun said.

Yan Laoxi thought for a moment, then asked: "What if...?"

"If not victorious..."

Commander Wan blinked his eyes, and dared not say the following words, after all, what he said was...splashed water, if he was really defeated, he didn't want to be a scapegoat.

Yan Laoxi glared at him angrily, and said: "You all talk about how we can defeat the rest of the Fifth Division. Its commander Seishiro Itagaki is my old classmate. I know him very well. He is an extremely cunning He is a character, and he is also a follower of the Bushido spirit. When we fight against him, we must first pay attention to one thing, that is, we cannot attack in a large-scale group. The Bushido spirit of the Japanese army's positional warfare is too strong, and our troops cannot beat him at all. "

"Old sir, we can gather superior forces and annihilate the infantry regiment of the devils in Linfen first. In this way, only the infantry regiment and artillery regiment of the Fifth Division remain in Taiyuan, plus an infantry brigade. We only need to concentrate If the two armies attack Taiyuan with all their strength, they will surely succeed in one battle."

Wanjun said.

"We are fighting Taiyuan, what should we do if the ghost brigade from Jinxi comes to support us?"

General Zhang said.

Chapter 545 The Enthusiastic Yan Laoxi

"Yes, I will let the Confidential Section issue the appointment document later."

Chen Huadao.

"Sun Shiquan is quite a pragmatic person, and he graduated from Whampoa, so he doesn't get involved in politics. As long as he puts his mind on cavalry training and combat, we will soon have a cavalry unit that can gallop in the mountains and plains of North China. "

Liang Xiao said with a smile, forming a cavalry unit has always been his dream, but when he was in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, war horses were too scarce, so this dream has never been realized. It is different now. On the North China battlefield, devils have cavalry, Jin The Sui army has cavalry, and they are all tall horses, so naturally he can't fall behind.

"General, I'm busy with my humble post."

Chen Hua nodded slightly, turned around and went down.

two days later.

Under the dual protection of the Special Operations Brigade and the guards, Liang Xiao went to Wanxian, the headquarters of the World War II area.

The road was relatively calm, from the southeast of Shanxi to Wanxian, all the way was in the territory of the national army and the Jinsui army, and there were occasional Japanese troops, but they couldn't cause any disturbance.

He heard that this time Yan Laoxi also invited Deputy Commander Peng of the [-]th Army.

He almost didn't think much, and he already understood what Yan Laoxi was planning.

In his capacity, it was inconvenient for him to have any contact with the [-]th Army. From the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War to the present, although the other party wrote to him several times, praising his outstanding military exploits in the Anti-Japanese War, he did not reply to a single letter.

Wan County.

In order to welcome the arrival of Commander Liang and Deputy Commander Peng, Yan Laoxi specially held a grand welcome party in Wan County, mobilized the people of the county, beat gongs and drums in the city, and organized the masses to hold banners and hold small flags , welcome the arrival of both parties.

Yan Laoxi made such a big noise on purpose to show the whole country that on the territory of the Jinsui Army, whether it is the [-]th Army or the [-]th Army, they must obey him as the host. master of the land.

In addition, he also made it clear to the government that he, Yan Laoxi, and the [-]th Army got together for the grand plan of the War of Resistance, not...meeting privately. After all, the government is very sensitive to this aspect, even if he, Yan Laoxi, is also a powerful faction in North China , and did not dare to cause unhappiness with the government over this matter.

in the afternoon.

Liang Xiao's convoy drove into the city of Wan County. As soon as they entered the city, they were warmly welcomed by the people of Wan County. The people held up banners welcoming General Liang Xiao, shouted slogans, and smiled joyfully on both sides of the road. .

in the car.

Chen Hua couldn't help being moved when he saw the warm welcome from the people, and said: "General, look how welcome the people of Jin are to you."

"This is all Yan Laoxi's blindfold. Although the people welcome me, how could the people spontaneously organize such a big welcome parade without him helping the flames?"

Liang Xiao saw the matter very thoroughly, but he guessed at a glance that the driving force behind this scene was Yan Laoxi.

"But it is true that the people welcome you. From now on, your reputation has spread all over the country, and the people from all over the country are full of praise for you. They all call you the God of War of the Chinese people. It is reasonable to be so enthusiastic."

Chen Huadao.

Liang Xiao didn't know whether to smile, he never cared about fame, he only cared about actual benefits.

Wan County.

WWII Zone Command.

Yan Laoxi led the generals of the Jinsui Army, looking forward to it at the headquarters.

"Old sir, Liang Xiao has entered the city."

Wanjun said.

"Get your bloody spirits up. Liang Feiyu has won so many victories in Jindi. We, the hosts, should be warmer to the guests. After a while...he comes, and you all laugh. Whoever doesn't have a smile on his face, Next month's military pay will not be collected."

Yan Laoxi said.

The generals looked at each other, they had never heard of it, and they had to smile when they welcomed others.

But this is the order of the old officer Yan Laoxi, and they dare not disobey it, after all, it is related to the military pay of the troops below, and no one dares to make fun of it.

"Old sir, Deputy Commander Peng has also entered the city, and he will arrive in a while."

Zhang Jun said.

"The two of them entered the city together, which saves us, at least...you don't have to be greeted twice."

Yan Laoxi smiled and said: "Treat Liang Feiyu with enthusiasm, and treat Deputy Commander Peng. You should all pay attention to proportion and don't be too enthusiastic. After all, we are the Jinsui Army, and they are just friendly troops with the [-]th Army."

The generals also understood the twists and turns, so everyone nodded in tacit understanding.

A little while.

Liang Xiao's convoy appeared at the gate of the headquarters.

Yan Laoxi's face was full of smiles, he hurriedly greeted him, and went to open the car door for Liang Xiao himself.

"I can't, I can't, Commander-in-Chief Yan opened the door for Liang, but he broke Liang."
