There was no conversation all the way, and Xu Rui and his party returned to Meizhen in the evening.
When Xiao Yanyue learned that Xu Rui had sent out another 200 tons of supplies, she couldn't help complaining again. Xu Rui tried to calm down Xiao Yanyue's anger.
The military situation was on fire, and Tiegang immediately offered to take the supplies away.
Xu Rui did not refuse explicitly and immediately asked Wang Husheng to recruit civilian husbands.
In fact, if we go faster, the supplies can be shipped that night, but if we do this, how can Xu Rui detain Tiegang's cavalry battalion? So he secretly instructed Wang Husheng to slow down the progress when recruiting civilians. Wang Husheng understood it and said that he would
We won't be able to recruit all the people until noon tomorrow.
Tiegang believed it was true and had no choice but to agree to stay in Meizhen for one night.
Xu Rui's plan was successfully sold, and he arranged for the officers and soldiers of the brigade to ask the cavalry battalion for tactics.
Since ancient times, the Northwest has been known for its cavalry. The 29th Army is the elite of the Northwest Army, and the Iron and Steel Cavalry Battalion is the elite of the elite. Even if there is no reason to borrow troops, Xu Rui will definitely find a way to let the brigade
The officers and soldiers asked Tiegang's cavalry battalion for advice on cavalry tactics. The brigade will eventually form a cavalry unit in the future.
Before time travel, Xu Rui was first the strongest soldier in the Republic, and then was admitted to the Command Academy with excellent results. He had in-depth research on almost all tactics, but he did not have much experience in cavalry tactics.
Because in that era, cavalry had long been eliminated, and all military academies no longer taught or studied cavalry tactics.
But now, cavalry is still very useful, especially for backward countries like China.
Xu Rui personally came forward to make the case, so Tiegang had to take over, not to mention that he admired Xu Rui very much.
Tie Gang immediately selected ten veterans from the cavalry battalion to demonstrate cavalry tactics to the officers and soldiers of the brigade.
In the wilderness outside Xiasha Bridge, ten cavalrymen from the 180th Division Cavalry Battalion were lined up. These ten cavalrymen were carefully selected by Tiegang from the cavalry battalion. They are all tall and tall.
, the war horses under the crotch are also good horses sold from Ili, Xinjiang, tall and magnificent horses.
"Keng..." Amidst the sound of metallic friction, the leader of the cavalry squad leader slowly drew out his saber.
At this time, the setting sun had already set in the west, and the remaining rays of the setting sun shone on the cavalry squad leader’s saber, instantly reflecting a cold and cold light. The shape of the northwest army’s saber was very different from that of ordinary cavalry. Ordinary sabers, such as those of the Japanese cavalry,
The saber blade is narrow and slightly curved back, making it look very sharp.
As for the saber of the Northwest Army, the blade is almost half as wide. It is long and straight, with only a slight upward curve at the tip of the blade. This shape is obviously not as sharp as ordinary sabers, but it also has a roughness.
The wild style is just like that of a man from the northwest, straightforward and rough.
"Ready..." The cavalry squad leader moved the saber in his hand slightly forward, and the other nine cavalrymen lined up on the right took out Leng Sensen's saber. All ten sabers were sharply polished, and they just looked at Leng Sensen's saber.
You can feel their sharpness by the light of the blade, which is definitely very useful for beheading.
"Charge!" the cavalry squad leader gave the order, and ten cavalrymen rushed out at the same time.
In just a moment, the ten cavalrymen completed their acceleration and began to sprint at high speed. A thousand meters ahead, there were ten rows of scarecrows prepared by the brigade. These scarecrows were usually used by the brigade to practice assassination skills, but at this time they were used to
Cavalrymen from the cavalry battalion demonstrate their slashing skills.
Seeing the ten cavalrymen rushing out like arrows, the officers and soldiers of the brigade immediately started shouting.
Even Xu Rui couldn't help but screamed along. When he was still very young, he began riding a wooden stick around the barren mountains and ridges of his hometown. He longed to be able to ride on a horse and kill wantonly when he grew up.
Riding horses and slashing have always been the most desirable feats for every man, because they best reflect a man's strength and bloodiness.
However, after roaring twice, Xu Rui stopped. He turned to Leng Tiefeng and said, "What a good cavalry. These cavalry are mine from now on, hehe."
Leng Tiefeng shook his head and said, "I'm more curious, what excuse will you use to keep them?"
"Excuse? There are not many excuses?" Xu Rui chuckled and said, "What, didn't Dong Cun's spy report yesterday that the Japanese came to Qingxiang again?"
"Dong Village?" Leng Tiefeng said, "That was not the territory of our base in the first place."
"Veteran, that was yesterday's calendar. We didn't include Dong Village into the base area before yesterday because Dong Village was too far away from Meizhen. When the Japanese came to Qingxiang, we had no time to rescue them. Therefore, it would be counterproductive to include Dong Village into the base area.
It hurt the villagers, but it is different now." Xu Rui said, "Now that we have a cavalry battalion, it is too late."
"You still..." Leng Tiefeng pointed at Xu Rui and said with a wry smile, "You really made the best use of everything."
"Of course." Xu Rui chuckled, "I borrowed this cavalry battalion not to use it as a guard of honor, but to make it into a steel knife to chop at the little devil! Hehe, Iron Steel?
Steel Knife? What a good name. Sooner or later, this guy will become a steel knife in my hand."
While he was talking, ten cavalrymen rushed to the scarecrow.
The next moment, ten sabers were chopped off in an instant, and the ten scarecrows standing at the front of the row all "fell to the ground" with their heads in unison. Their movements were uniform, and the swords were drawn out neatly, without any mistakes!
The officers and soldiers in the group who were watching suddenly made a sound of inhalation.
Many officers and soldiers thought in their hearts, my goodness, if we encounter such cavalry on the battlefield, why should we kill them? Fortunately, these are our friendly troops.
The war horses continued to sprint forward, and the cavalry on horseback slashed left and right. The scarecrows lined up in a row, and the heads rolled to the ground one by one. In less than a moment, there were four rows, more than a hundred heads,
They had all rolled to the ground, and then the ten cavalrymen circled around and came back. The horses were breathing heavily, but the cavalrymen on the horses did not blush or pant.
"Okay!" Xu Rui immediately took the lead in applauding, and the officers and soldiers in the brigade also followed suit.
That night, Xu Rui specially asked the kitchen to kill a fat pig and give extra meals to the soldiers of the cavalry battalion. Tiegang and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion were not polite and had a delicious meal.
There was no talking all night, and before dawn the next day, Tiegang was awakened by a harsh whistle.
Sitting up from the bed, Tie Gang looked outside and saw a group of soldiers gathering.
Tiegang quickly got dressed, and while tying an armed belt on his body, he asked Xu Rui, who was standing in front of the queue: "Brother Xu Rui, what are you doing, morning training?"
"What a morning training." Xu Rui shook his head and said angrily, "Some villagers from Dong Village just came to report that the Japs from a nearby stronghold are coming to Qingxiang this morning. We have to rush there quickly, and we can't let the little Japs cause trouble.
Fathers and villagers in the base area, otherwise the villagers would poke us in the back."
After finishing speaking, Xu Rui said specifically: "Brother Tiegang, there is nothing wrong with you, just go on sleeping."
If Xu Rui didn't say this, Tiegang really didn't want to cause trouble, but after Xu Rui said this, he couldn't pretend not to hear it.
Anyway, Xu Rui is very interesting to their 180th Division. He has given them several big gifts. He is especially interesting to their cavalry battalion. He even gave their cavalry battalion extra meals last night, and he is not afraid of people laughing at him when he says it.
, they haven’t tasted meat for months.
At that moment, Tiegang asked: "How far is Dongcun from here?"
Tiegang thought to himself, if the distance was within fifty miles, it would only take two or three hours on the way there, and the Qingxiang team could take at most half an hour to deal with the Japanese. In this case, they would be able to get back before noon, and they would have time to escort the supplies back.
Linhuai Pass, but if the distance is more than a hundred miles, I might not have time to return to Linhuai Pass today.
Xu Rui replied smoothly: "Dongcun is not far from here, only more than a hundred miles away."
"More than a hundred miles away?" Tiegang frowned and added, "By the time you have gone all the way over, the day lilies will be cold, and the little devils will have long finished causing harm to the fellow villagers and returned to their stronghold to be happy."
"Then what can we do?" Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Just run, even if you break your leg, you have to go."
"Should I go?" Tiegang hesitated for a moment, but finally said what Xu Rui was most looking forward to, "The cavalry is fast. It only takes us two hours to get there. We should be able to get there before the Japanese come down."
"How is that possible?" Xu Rui said hypocritically, "You still have to escort the supplies back to Linhuai Pass."
"This is also a matter." Tiegang thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, brother Xu Rui, please send a telegram to our teacher and say that we will escort the supplies back to Linhuai Pass after we finish fighting the Japanese.
Anyway, the battle won’t start right away, so our master shouldn’t say anything.”
"There is no problem in sending the report, but why is this so embarrassing?" Xu Rui rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Brother Xu Rui, are you polite to me?" Tiegang had no idea that he had fallen into the scheme, and said with emotion, "It's settled, these devils in Dongcun will be handed over to our cavalry battalion."
After finishing speaking, Tiegang turned around and shouted loudly: "Xiao Gang."
Guard platoon leader Tie Xiaogang stood up in a hurry and stood at attention: "Yes."
Tiegang snorted and shouted: "Blow the assembly horn, the cavalry battalion must assemble urgently!"
"Yes!" Tie Xiaogang agreed, and immediately took off the trumpet from his belt and started playing it vigorously. The next moment, the beeping rally call sounded throughout the entire military camp.
Hearing the familiar rallying call, the sleeping cavalry battalion soldiers instinctively stood up, put on their military uniforms and packed their luggage in the shortest possible time, and then swarmed out of the military camp and came to the playground to assemble.
, ten minutes later, the cavalry battalion completed its assembly with men and horses. This speed is already very good.
Xu Ruigang said he was sorry, but turned around and called Leng Tiefeng over.
"Old soldier, you bring the Mountain Leopard and the Flying Monkey to serve as guides for Commander Tiefeng." Xu Rui said, while giving Leng Tiefeng a very covert wink, hinting that after he defeated the Japanese in Dongcun,
Then lead the cavalry battalion around and do some private work. In short, don't return to Meizhen before it gets dark.
