In the vast majority of cases, any team that fights with cavalry is generally only against cavalry, and will not attack the horses at all!

After all, cavalry is too precious!

Especially in this battlefield behind enemy lines, where transportation is difficult, if there is a cavalry that can quickly maneuver, it is definitely a strategic force that can change the situation on the battlefield at any time.

Therefore, when encountering cavalry, the first thing that comes to mind for any team is often to kill the cavalry as much as possible to protect the horses!

If you can not hurt the war horses, then try not to hurt the war horses, so that after the victory, you can let these war horses be used for yourself.

Therefore, not to mention those traps that specifically donate the horse's legs, such as shelling, which may irritate the war horse, will not be used at all.

So when Ueno launched a cavalry charge, he was simply unscrupulous.

In his opinion, the precious war horses that the imperial soldiers are reluctant to harm, these poor and crazy Eighth Route Army, who can be treasured by broken copper and iron, can they be willing to attack the war horses?

By the time the horses stepped into the trap in groups and were blown apart by the flying thunder cannons, it was too late for Ueno to regret it......

Therefore, Ueno's total annihilation in the Beihe Corridor has little to do with his own command mistakes.

If you want to blame, you can only blame him for meeting Zhang Ran, a guy who has traveled from an era when cavalry has lost its usefulness and has become a class of troops that has long been eliminated, and he doesn't understand how precious war horses are.

And this guy also happens to know how he was killed in history.

If he knew these truths, Ueno himself probably felt that his death was not unjust at all.

According to Zhang Ran's estimate, these seventy or eighty war horses can finally pick out the war horses that form a platoon of cavalry, even if it is burning high incense - after all, mental trauma is not easy to treat at any time.

And it's a group of mentally traumatized war horses, so it's even more impossible.

It's okay that Zhang Ran didn't explain, but as soon as he explained, he found that Kang Ting and the others looked like they were going to hammer themselves to death!

All the expressions seemed to be saying - knowing that a special war horse may be traumatized by what happened on the battlefield, why do you do it unscrupulously? Why are you looking for a draw?

"People-oriented, do you know what it means to be people-oriented?"

Zhang Ran explained in annoyance, seeing that everyone didn't want to listen to his explanation at all, he could only grind his teeth, and there was a kind of heartfelt feeling that his kindness was regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs.

The different times and the different growth environment have created differences in concepts.

Just as Ueno didn't expect Zhang Ran to choose to attack the cavalry, it was impossible for Zhang Ran to understand Kang Ting and the others' obsession with war horses.

In Zhang Ran's heart, the war horse will be eliminated, and there is no more of it than it and no less of it.

And in the hearts of Kang Ting and others, the power of cavalry cannot be replaced!

And now, this irreplaceable cavalry was lost to him when he knew the consequences—the feeling was like a beggar watching the big fat in his hand grow wings and fly away......

Don't mention resentment.

"You're so fond of war horses, you've seen enough—I'll take a look at the blacksmith's shop!"

Zhang Ran left decisively under the gaze of a group of people, and he found for the first time that if he didn't leave, maybe he might really be beaten by the group......

Bang bang ......

In the blacksmith's workshop, under the exclusive power of a car engine, the punching and forging machine is constantly hammering.

Niu Da clamped a piece of red iron on the forging machine from time to time, the hammer on the forging machine has already turned into a series of phantoms under the mechanical power, with those phantoms, the red iron is rapidly deformed, and sparks are splashing at the same time......

Before leaving, Zhang Ran had already made a punching and forging machine, and in the more than a month he was fighting abroad, the punching and forging machine was debugged and improved by Dongshan and others countless times, and the technology finally barely matured.

So there is this scene in front of us.

"The forging machine is easy to use, right? It's much more efficient than you guys swinging a sledgehammer with a round arm, right? ”

Zhang Ran looked at Niu Da and opened his mouth, and when he thought of all kinds of cynicism that this guy was making for his punching machine, he was dissatisfied.

Although this punching and forging machine can play the current effect, Zhang Ran's own role is actually not too big, more because of the carpenter Lao Zheng's repeated modeling, Cheng Dongshan Niu Da and others themselves repeatedly debugged the credit.

But these absolutely do not prevent Zhang Ran from taking all the credit on himself, and then he will be proud of Niu Da and will not feel the slightest guilt.

And in the face of Zhang Ran's snort, Niu Da also obediently endured.

There's nothing surprising about that.

For example, from the establishment of Alibaba to its growth, Ma Yun only put forward some directional suggestions, and it is those technical personnel who are responsible for all aspects of technology and other work.

But when Alibaba became a cornucopia, it was Ma Yun who was sent to the throne of the richest man instead of those technicians and administrators, and people remembered not those technicians and administrators, but only Ma Yun - the principle is the same.

"Captain, I was wrong"

Niu salivated and apologized: "Although this forging machine can't do fine work, but it is used for rough forging, the effect is indeed very easy to use - most of the manpower in the blacksmith workshop was spent on this rough forging, since the use of this forging machine for rough forging, everyone is only responsible for precision forging, not only labor-saving, but also the efficiency has been improved too much - last time my father came over, they were full of praise for our precision forging machine......

In Niu Da's eyes, the weight of what his father said was probably about the same as that of the previous emperor Lao'er Chrysostom - this was the highest praise he could think of for Zhang Ran.

"Yes, yes!"

Those blacksmith apprentices also said with their eyebrows fluttering on the side: "In the past, it took us two days to make a cannon barrel of a grenadier cannon, but since we have this punching machine, the blacksmith workshop can now make three canisters in one day, not to mention, it is much easier for people - if we can build a few more punching and forging machines, plus enough steel, our blacksmith workshop will make ten or eight grenadiers every day, and it will be no problem at all!" ”

"So, technology is productivity!"

Listening to these data, Zhang Ran was very pleased, and at the same time hummed loudly to everyone: "The captain is inventing, that is to liberate the productive forces, and that is to promote the development and progress of science and technology in the times - only those stupid forks who are blind and do not know the power of science and technology will sneer at the captain when the captain is frustrated......"

The crowd in the blacksmith went crazy.

Niu Da said depressedly: "Captain, I admit that I am wrong, you are still here and do not spare Sang and scold Huai, what do you want - why don't I strip naked again and go to the village to run around and give you a breath?" ”

"Shut up!"

Zhang Ran scolded loudly, and said in his heart, your surname Niu is really because you have enough money, and you are addicted to running naked, isn't it?

Niu Da was suddenly proud, and everyone laughed even more happily.

"With the punching machine, the output of our blacksmith workshop, you can be completely assured, captain!"

When Zhang Ran had enough, Niu Dacai said: "But we have been playing grenadiers for a while, and there are not many good steels that we brought back last time...... Captain, you have to find a way to do it! ”

Zhang Ran was suddenly depressed - this went back to the dead cycle where people chased their butts and asked for things.

But this time, Zhang Ran was not too panicked.

There are a lot of motorcycle engines, and more than a dozen or twenty grinding wheel cutting machines can be assembled at any time.

However, the problem with the grinding wheel, because the quality of the glue was not up to par, the detachment could not ask Liu Qing's main force to cooperate, and transformed from the Eighth Route Army into a road army.

But in the short term, Zhang Ran still has a way to solve the steel problem.

The steel plant and iron ore in Qingping County were blown up when Fujimoto was evacuated, and it was impossible to resume work in the short term.

And even if he can resume work, Zhang Ranye doesn't plan to do this.

The detachment was able to take advantage of it this time, it was purely because of proper deployment, and when the Japanese army regrouped and fought again, they were determined to capture a certain place, even if the detachment had three heads and six arms, it could not hold it, and in the end there was still only one way left to drill into the ravines and ravines to carry out guerrilla warfare.

Therefore, when Qingping Iron Mine Iron and Steel Plant resumed work, in the end, he could only do a job for the little devils, and Zhang Ran would not do this kind of stupid thing.

However, although Qingping's steel factory was blown up, there was still a lot of stock of steel that had been successfully refined before, and Fujita couldn't take it with him when he left.

Moreover, this steel mill uses the advanced technology of forging steel in Japan, and the quality of the iron ore in Qingping County is already high.

So the quality of the steel in this batch of stocks is excellent, and it is not worse than the quality of those rail steels.

Sun Hongzhong, Tu Jinjun and other guerrillas went back this time to prepare to transport the steel to find a way to transport it before the Japanese army returned to the horse and shot it.

With this batch of steel, the detachment's short-term shortage of steel can be temporarily alleviated.

"Then I'm relieved!"

Hearing this, Niu Da breathed a sigh of relief, and his big face was full of happiness and satisfaction.

Although this guy has the skills to shake off the prestige of his master from time to time in front of Zhang Ran, in essence, Niu Da, like everyone, is still the kind of person who is extremely simple, and it is easy to be satisfied.

His satisfaction is only that he usually has food, and when he works, he has a good iron to fetch him, and that's it.

"These days, don't be busy fixing those guns, let's find a way to get more grenadiers out!" Zhang Ran arranged work for Niu Da.

There are more than 20 days to go before the New Year.

The main force sent people over, it will definitely be before this, after all, the purpose of the main force to send people over this time is very clear, and the inspection is certain, but it is also obvious to fight the autumn wind by the way.

Zhang Ran hoped that in addition to preparing some horse meat, food and other materials for the main force, he would also prepare more grenadiers for the other side.

After all, equipment is the best choice to improve the combat effectiveness of the main force.
