Chapter 52: Sunset
ps: Thank you for the Qin, Han, Tang, Song and Ming 5 tips for support
Patriotic education is not just a boring cramming during teaching, but a sincere feeling in an appropriate situation.
Sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently, Li Mingyuan used the bits and pieces of life to instill patriotic feelings and national self-esteem in the soldiers step by step.
After the impassioned speech, Li Mingyuan drew his sword and pointed into the distance, and the army immediately set off for long-distance training.
The rush training mainly conducts tactical drills in three aspects:
First: reconnaissance, camping, early warning,
Cavalry units carry out long-range running operations and are located behind enemy lines, so in the absence of logistical support, the survival ability of troops behind enemy lines is particularly important, so each regiment of the cavalry brigade is equipped with a reconnaissance company, which is responsible for detecting the surrounding enemy situation and providing support for the advance of large forces.
Second, tactical drills during operations
Since the cavalry brigade is an animalized unit, there is no logistics baggage for non-combat units, and the base of battalions, companies, and platoons is very large:
A company has 4 platoons with 3 squads each; Each squad is divided into 3 combat groups,
During tactical training, the principal and deputy squad leaders and the combat group leader each lead a group, and the battle formation is formed in a front triangle or rear triangle formation.
This kind of grouping is easy to defend and attack well in the current tactical and strategic situation, and it can also minimize casualties.
Third: the mobility and suddenness of long-distance runs
Before tanks appeared on the battlefield, cavalry was the backbone of blitzkrieg.
The forward troops attacked the enemy on the opposite side, and the cavalry units went around behind the enemy's troops,
Use the mobility of the cavalry to and fro like the wind, block the enemy's supply line, fully mobilize the enemy's troops, make the enemy's forces scattered, exhausted, and then assemble the main force of cavalry, annihilate the enemy's remaining troops, cut off the enemy's retreat, so as to achieve the strategic goal of attacking the enemy with their own main force.
The final destination of the cavalry brigade was the northern part of the Andes Mountains in Peru.
On the way from Arequipa to the Andes, the march passed through six hundred miles of desert areas.
The 600-mile distance could be reached by the cavalry troops in two days, but Li Mingyuan was not in a hurry to rush to the Andes Mountains immediately, because the cavalry brigade was going to conduct its first actual combat drill in the vast desert.
The 3,000 men were divided into two units and moved separately within a demarcated range of 1,000 miles, each of which sent its own scouts to reconnoiter the movements of the other side and strive to be the first to discover the other side and seize the opportunity. Li Mingyuan and Li Dawei served as referees, judging the winners and losers of the two sides.
The troops stopped in the desert for three days, and the exercise did not yet detect any trace of the other side.
Under the scorching sun, a group of wild alpacas were drinking water by the river, and suddenly a vibration sounded, and the alpacas who were drinking water immediately ran away.
As the sound approached, a group of horsemen appeared above the creek.
The troops who arrived were the exercise troops headed by Sun Yanming and Zheng Guosheng. The cavalry regiment was expanded into a cavalry brigade, Sun Yanming and Zheng Guosheng rose to the top, and the two were promoted from deputy regiment commander to deputy brigade commander, and Zheng Guosheng also served as the commander of the cloud cavalry regiment because of his bravery.
"Old Sun, Feng Changqing's troops haven't seen a shadow for three days, where do you think his kid can hide?"
"Commander Zheng, you are the commander of the exercise unit, don't you know best where the enemy is?"
Sun Yanming said lightly.
"Hehe, old grandson, you envy me." Zheng Guosheng laughed.
"Of course I envy you, not only did you become a deputy brigade commander, but you also personally commanded a regiment, which is much better than me, the commander of the light pole."
"Old Sun, don't say that, when the prince wanted to transfer you to other troops as the main commander, weren't you unwilling? I regret it now. ”
"No matter how good the other troops are, I won't go, Lao Sun still likes to stay in the cavalry brigade." Sun Yanming shook his head and said.
"Old Sun, why don't I go and discuss with the prince, don't let the brigade commander concurrently serve as the head of the Xiao Cavalry Regiment, give me the position of the head of the Xiao Cavalry Regiment, and you will be the commander of the Cloud Cavalry." Zheng Guosheng whispered.
"Lao Zheng, it's okay for you to say this, don't be heard by the brigade commander, otherwise the brigade commander will make you look good."
"Who is Lao Sun scaring about?" Zheng Guosheng said with contempt, "The prince said before that the brigade commander is the temporary commander of the Xiao Cavalry, and when there is a suitable person, the brigade commander will still withdraw from the position of the head of the Xiao Cavalry." ”
"Lao Zheng, you are not satisfied with being the head of the Cloud Cavalry Regiment, and you still want to change positions, don't be too greedy."
"Sun Yanming, don't talk about me, haven't you ever thought about being the head of the Xiao Cavalry Regiment?" Zheng Guosheng asked rhetorically.
"Ahem," Zheng Guosheng said that Sun Yanming was a little embarrassed, and coughed to resolve a little embarrassment.
"Don't talk to you, let's let the troops drink water first." Zheng Guosheng stayed in the officer's crash course for two months, and his eloquence was much better, and for the first time, he was in a particularly good mood, and led the cavalry to the small river with a wave of his hand.
When Zheng Guosheng's men drank water, they didn't know that three soldiers not far away were observing their every move.
"Platoon commander, Commander Feng guessed right, Deputy Brigade Commander Zheng's troops are really drinking water here."
"Commander Feng is the battalion commander of our reconnaissance battalion, and it is not very simple to investigate the enemy's situation." The platoon commander, who is also from the special forces reconnaissance battalion, said proudly.
"That's that, the brothers in the special forces are all good men." Another soldier patted his ass.
"Be quiet, and don't be caught by them." The platoon commander did not forget that they were still under each other's noses, and reminded in a low voice.
The other two understood what he meant, and immediately held their breath and carefully observed the situation of the troops by the river.
The three of them stayed by the river for a while, and the leading platoon commander left the two to continue to monitor and quietly left the river.
In a green state in the desert, Li Mingyuan and Li Dawei rode outside the camp.
"Brigadier Li, Jin Ge Iron Horse, Sunset Yellow Sand, Spectacular?" Under the glow, Li Mingyuan pointed to the towering Andes Mountains in the distance and said heroically.
"Spectacular." The sunset is like blood, and the sunset is like a belt. The magnificent scene of the sunset was shocking, but Li Dawei didn't have a few taels of ink in his stomach, and he couldn't find a suitable adjective after thinking about it for a long time, so he only repeated the word spectacular.
"Throughout the ages, countless heroes and heroes have competed for hegemony, but they don't know that there is a world outside the Central Plains, and five thousand years of romantic characters are buried in the desert and yellow sand, but no one has built a country in a foreign land, expanding the territory of Yanhuang's existence, which is a pity."
Li Dawei was not as sentimental as Li Mingyuan, and said directly, "The prince led his brothers to be invincible, and soon he could establish a Chinese kingdom in a foreign land, and his achievements were no worse than those of the Central Plains Emperor." ”
"Hehe, compared to Huaxia Mingjun, I am too far behind, but I am confident that I can still lead my brothers to build a country in a foreign land." Li Mingyuan said with a smile.
Li Dawei nodded in agreement, Li Mingyuan's contribution to the establishment of the Chinese workers is obvious to all, and the establishment of the Chinese country is not a lie.
"Dawei, I'll talk to you today, within twenty years, I will definitely turn the land under my feet into Chinese territory." Li Mingyuan said this sentence loudly, and rode his horse into the blood-colored sun.
