Chapter 527: Cavalry Detachment
On the way, Xue Bing had a certain understanding of Liu Gen, and he found that he couldn't see any shortcomings in Liu Gen.
A young man like Liu Gen must have some pride after achieving certain results, but in Liu Gen, there is no trace of such emotion at all, as if he can keep himself stable enough.
In getting along with Liu Gen, Xue Bing found that he had a lot to learn from Liu Gen, and compared to Liu Gen, he had too many shortcomings.
In the afternoon, Liu Gen and Xue Bing arrived safely at the cavalry detachment of the 120th Division, and the road was very smooth, and they did not encounter the devil puppet army.
"Is this where the cavalry detachment is stationed? It looks pretty good," Liu Gen looked at the garrison of the cavalry detachment, he could see that the garrison of the cavalry detachment was very hidden, and ordinary people might not have thought that there would be a cavalry team stationed here.
Xue Bing nodded and said, "The cavalry detachment of our 120th Division was originally the Daqingshan Cavalry, and then expanded, and its combat effectiveness is not weak. ”
"Out of consideration for the protection of Yan'an, the division commander specially chose this area when arranging the garrison of the cavalry detachment, once there are devils to launch an attack on Yan'an, then the cavalry detachment can give full play to its strong mobility to support the battle of various units."
Liu Gen and the two slowed down and continued to move towards the cavalry detachment station, and soon a squad of cavalry quickly rushed towards Liu Gen and the two. At the same time, Liu Gen could feel that someone was targeting him and Xue Bing in the dark, and if they had any problems, then the warrior hiding in the shadows would shoot them both directly.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm Xue Bing from the Security Department of the division headquarters, and this is my identification." After the soldiers of the cavalry detachment came over, Xue Bing took out his identification card and handed it to them.
Liu Gen also took out his own identity certificate, and when he went to various units in the anti-Japanese base areas, he must have his own identity certificates, and only in this way could he enter the garrisons of various units. Otherwise, it is impossible to enter other units without the corresponding identification.
"Questions?" After finding that the soldier had not responded to the examination of his documents for a while, Xue Bing asked with some confusion.
Xue Bing hadn't been to the cavalry detachment for a while, but he was sure that there was nothing wrong with his identity certificate, but these soldiers didn't say anything for so long, which made Xue Bing a little nervous. Xue Bing was a little worried that there was a problem with his identity certificate, which made him unable to continue to follow Liu Gen to other units of the 120th Division.
The soldier who checked the identity certificate was speechless, he stared at the identity certificate in his hand, there was a little doubt in his eyes, there was no problem with Xue Bing's identity certificate. The reason why there were no words was that the soldiers who checked could not be sure that there was no problem with Liu Gen's identification, but in fact he had never seen the identification certificate issued by the 129th Division.
This soldier has never been to the 129th Division, and he has never seen what the identification certificate issued by the 129th Division looks like, and now the identification certificate that Liu Gen took out does not seem to have any problems, but this soldier is not 100% sure.
"Comrade, if you are unsure about something, you can ask your detachment commander, or ask him to contact the division headquarters." Liu Gen realized the problem and opened his mouth to remind.
The soldiers reacted, and after discussion, they chose to let the other soldiers stay and watch Liu Gen and the two, while he returned to the garrison together and brought Liu Gen's identity certificate back for the captain of the cavalry detachment to see. However, Liu Gen's words made the warrior realize that Liu Gen's identity certificate was very likely to be true, otherwise Liu Gen would not have taken the initiative to say this to himself.
But even so, this warrior did not have the slightest idea of directly letting Liu Gen go to the cavalry detachment, and only after Liu Gen's identity was truly determined, he would allow Liu Gen to enter the garrison.
Liu Gen and Xue Bing both looked at the soldier who left alone, and there was a little helplessness in their eyes, this is too troublesome, if this situation occurs every time they go to various troops, then a lot of time will be wasted. And for Liu Gen and them, every bit of time is extremely precious, and it's good for this kind of thing to happen once, but if this kind of thing happens all the time, there will be a lot of time wasted.
"When we get to the cavalry detachment, we must contact the division commander and ask the division headquarters to notify the troops in advance, otherwise it will be a waste of time." Liu Gen said to Xue Bing beside him.
Xue Bing saw the seriousness on Liu Gen's face, and hurriedly nodded, expressing his agreement, as Liu Gen said, it is still very necessary to notify the troops. Xue Bing also wanted to see Liu Gen have a complete understanding of the troops of the 120th Division, and then know what Liu Gen thought of for the first time.
By Liu Gen's side, Xue Bing felt as if he had become a child again, and he needed to continue to study in many aspects.
Fifteen minutes later, the commander of the cavalry detachment arrived on horseback, and when the soldiers asked him for confirmation, he was not very sure, and only after contacting Division Commander He was able to confirm Liu Gen's identity. The detachment commander didn't know Liu Gen very well, and he didn't know what Liu Gen had done, but he knew that Liu Gen could come from the 129th Division to the 120th Division, so Liu Gen would not be simple.
What's more, after contacting Division Commander He, the detachment commander was also instructed to let Liu Gen fully understand the situation of the cavalry detachment, and not to hide it in the slightest. Due to the relationship of time, the detachment leader was not able to learn more things from Commander He, but this was not important, the most important thing now was to let Liu Gen and Xue Bing enter the garrison of the cavalry detachment.
"Comrade Xue Bing, are we meeting again? More than half a year has passed since you last came to our cavalry detachment, and Comrade Xue Bing has not changed much. After the detachment leader arrived, he said very enthusiastically.
The detachment leader is serious about Xue Bing, in the army, strength is the first, Xue Bing's strength is good, and he works in the security department of the division headquarters, and it is normal for the detachment leader to know Xue Bing. After greeting Xue Bing, the detachment leader turned his head to look at Liu Gen's position, he looked at Liu Gen seriously, but he couldn't see too much.
"This is Staff Officer Liu, right? I haven't been to the division headquarters for a while, but I didn't expect that there would be an extra staff officer in our division headquarters. The detachment leader stretched out his hand with a smile on his face.
Liu Gen held the hand of the detachment leader, a little cold. He could clearly feel the thick calluses on the hands of the detachment leader, obviously the detachment leader trained very weekdays, otherwise there would not be so many calluses. Liu Gen looked at the captain of the cavalry detachment in front of him, there was a glint in his eyes, this squadron leader looked a little thin, and it was easy to see the bones.
"Let's go back to the garrison of the cavalry detachment first, I need to know the situation of your unit as soon as possible." Liu Gen said directly.
If it were in normal times, Liu Gen would definitely have a few more greetings with this detachment leader, judging from the state of this detachment leader, Liu Gen and him may not be able to become friends. But it's a pity that Liu Gen won't stay in the cavalry detachment for too long, and after a comprehensive understanding of the situation in the cavalry detachment, he is ready to leave, not wanting to stay here for too long.
The 120th Division had a lot of troops, and the troops were scattered in all directions of Yan'an, which made Liu Gen's time very urgent, and he didn't want to waste too much time in the cavalry detachment.
The detachment leader was slightly stunned, and he could see that Liu Gen's face was very serious, which made him know that Liu Gen really had something important to do. Suddenly, the detachment leader understood what he had to do, and he spoke: "Staff Officer Liu, Comrade Xue Bing, please follow me, and I will take you to the station of our cavalry detachment immediately." ”
The next moment, Liu Gen and the two rushed out directly under the leadership of the detachment leader, and the soldiers looked at the figure of Liu Gen and the two leaving, and their faces became solemn, not knowing what happened to Liu Gen and them this time.
The soldiers couldn't understand the purpose of Liu Gen and Xue Bing's coming, and the only thing they could do was to patrol more seriously, always keep enough focus, and try to find out all the people with problematic identities as much as possible. Before receiving other orders from the divisional headquarters, the cavalry detachment had to hide its edge like a sword hidden in a scabbard.
Ten minutes later, Liu Gen and the two came to the headquarters of the cavalry detachment, Liu Gen had no intention of resting, and directly asked the relevant personnel of the cavalry detachment to bring the relevant information, and he needed to check it immediately. In addition, while others went to get relevant information, Liu Gen kept asking the detachment leader around him, and clearly understood the current situation of the cavalry detachment from his mouth.
The condition of the cavalry detachment was not good and not bad. It's still okay to maintain the daily training consumption of the fighters. Of course, in order to make the cavalry team have stronger combat effectiveness, it is still very necessary to have more material supplies, and with the current situation of the cavalry team, it can only maintain simple daily training.
From the mouth of the detachment leader, Liu Gen also learned that the cavalry detachment had more than 500 cavalry, as well as surplus horses, but if he wanted to maintain a cavalry team of this size, the daily consumption of materials was not a small amount. Due to the peculiarities of the cavalry detachment, it was impossible for the cavalry detachment to reclaim wasteland for cultivation like other troops.
After all, for the cavalry detachment, after each sortie, their garrison will change to a certain extent, and even if they reclaim wasteland for farming, they can't wait for the harvest. It is precisely because of this that the cavalry detachment has become a relatively special unit of the 120th Division, and they are the only troops that need material support from the division headquarters.
After the relevant personnel sent some information about the cavalry detachment, Liu Gen stopped communicating with the detachment leader, and then he needed to read these materials in the shortest possible time. Liu Gen was a little glad that his memory was good, otherwise it would be a problem to write down all these materials, and as for taking all these materials away, it would be impossible.
Compared with Liu Gen, Xue Bing is undoubtedly much more relaxed, he doesn't have to think about memorizing information, he just needs to be his own guard. Xue Bing looked at Liu Gen who was quickly flipping through the relevant information, a little surprised by the speed at which Liu Gen flipped through it, and after hesitating for a moment, he picked up some information and looked at it seriously.
Xue Bing felt that as Liu Gen's guard, he also needed to know some of this information, even if he couldn't remember much, but what if it could come in handy one day? Moreover, Xue Bing couldn't do it by himself to watch Liu Gen busy looking through these materials, but he was doing nothing on the sidelines.
Half an hour later, Liu Gen read all the information and had a certain understanding of the situation of the cavalry detachment.
"Detachment leader, I wonder if you can accompany us for a ride around the station? I would like to take a serious look at the comrades of the cavalry detachment. Liu Gen said.
The detachment commander nodded, he didn't have any opinions, the division commander asked him to cooperate with Liu Gen, he would cooperate with Liu Gen, and there would definitely be no opinions. The detachment commander didn't understand why the division commander valued Liu Gen so much as a young man, but he believed that the division commander would not be wrong in looking at people, and Liu Gen's ability would definitely not be weak.
Under the leadership of the detachment leader, Liu Gen and Xue Bing carefully observed the garrison of the cavalry detachment, and along the way, Liu Gen and the three of them did not have much communication, but they could see that the faces of the three of them were not very good-looking. The situation of the cavalry detachment is not very good, and as the head of the cavalry detachment, the detachment commander has no small responsibility.
But this detachment commander has no way, the particularity of the cavalry detachment makes it impossible for the cavalry detachment to be dispatched easily, otherwise it is easy to cause the crazy encirclement and suppression of the devil troops. The devil will not allow the Eighth Route Army to have a cavalry team that is not weak, even if in battle, the cavalry team can play a small role.
But in the eyes of the devil, the cavalry team will become an uncertain factor that affects the victory of the battle, which the devil does not want to see.
The cavalry team could not be easily dispatched and could not stay in one station for a long time, which made it impossible for the cavalry team to achieve self-sufficiency in materials. For this reason, the cavalry detachment could only constantly ask for supplies from the division headquarters, even if it knew the division headquarters was very difficult.
For the commander of the cavalry detachment, what he disliked the most was the beginning of each month, when he would go to the division headquarters to bring supplies belonging to the cavalry detachment. If he can't get the materials, the detachment leader is uncomfortable, but after getting the materials, Captain Zhu is also very uncomfortable, anyway, the detachment leader can't be happy.
"Staff Officer Liu, I'm a rough man, I don't know what you're trying to know about the situation of our cavalry detachment, but I hope you can make certain achievements and not live up to the division commander's value and trust in you." Before Liu Gen and Xue Bing left, the detachment leader said this to Liu Gen.
Liu Gen, who was about to leave directly, paused for a moment, he looked towards the detachment leader, and could see that there was some expectation in the detachment commander's eyes, and he expected Liu Gen to make certain achievements in the 120th Division and improve the situation of the 120th Division.
"Don't worry, I won't let the division commander down, don't stop the training of the cavalry detachment during this time, maybe you may need your cavalry detachment to move at that time." Liu Gen explained.
Without waiting for the detachment leader to react, Liu Gen and Xue Bing went away directly, and there was only so much he could reveal. child
