Chapter 29 Withdrawn Divisions
The entrance to the military horse farm is the road, and the cavalry brigade that has just been formed goes out and goes on the road. The hooves of hundreds of war horses stepped on the ground, and the sound of hooves was like a continuous muffled thunder, "Boom, boom." ”
Although the soldiers did it in strict accordance with Hu Fei's pre-war requirements in the early morning battle, they did not fire a single shot. However, it was impossible to hide the movements of these hundreds of war horses when they left. It is estimated that it won't take too long before a large group of devil soldiers will chase after him! Hu Fei had to do his best to familiarize the warriors with the war horses and learn to ride them. Instead of just sitting on horseback and being carried around by a war horse as it is now.
"Straighten your upper body, clamp your legs, loosen the reins, and go!" While hurrying on the road, Hu Fei explained the art of horse control to the soldiers.
As the saying goes: practice is the best teacher. Learning to ride a horse on a horse is definitely the fastest progress. In addition, Ji Jinbiao and a few other officers who can ride horses are pointing at the side, and the officers and men of the cavalry brigade are improving their riding skills. It's not just that they have horses to ride, even if they don't grab a horse, they just share a horse with their companions, and Ji Jinbiao also makes them familiar with horse control.
Captain Ji made it clear: Lao Tzu's army is a cavalry brigade, and everyone in the army must be able to ride a horse and have a horse to ride! Don't look at you riding the same horse with everyone else now, it won't be long before I will equip each of you with a war horse!" If the cavalry brigade does not ride horses, is it still cavalry?
As soon as Ji Jinbiao said this, the warriors who were riding the same horse with others immediately cheered up. Captain Ji said that if there is a horse, then it must be a horse! So far, Ji Jinbiao has not let his soldiers fire empty cannons.
"Smack! Smack! "There was a faint sound of gunfire in the distance. It is estimated that the devil brigade five miles away from the military horse farm is chasing after you, right? Hu Fei looked back behind him, and the sky behind him was already blue and white, but as for the pursuers, he didn't even see a shadow.
"Speed up! The devil immediately caught up from behind and picked up the speed of his advance! Hu Fei rode the spotted horse back and forth, which made people look very anxious.
Hu Fei was in a hurry, and the soldiers couldn't help but be anxious, and even dismounted with their crotch and began to run faster and faster.
Tall and long Oriental horses are extremely intelligent animals. It didn't take long for the clever horses to realize from the knight's clumsy movements that their new owner didn't know how to ride. As a result, these clever big guys began to deliberately disobey their masters.
The master let it trot, and it strode away; The owner let it go to the right, and it deliberately leaned to the left. Of course, these are not malicious, just a little naughty and a little joking. The war horse was playing and playing games with his new master.
When the master began to urge it to run fast with unfamiliar movements, and urged it continuously and quickly, the shrewd war horse immediately sensed that the situation had changed, and the master was in danger! The owner needs it to run! These well-trained horses quickly understood their master's intentions and ran from slow to fast according to their master's wishes. The cavalry brigade gradually ran and became faster and faster.
The most important thing in the relationship between cavalry and war horses is not horse control, but communication and exchange between humans and animals. When the horse understands the knight's intentions and is willing to cooperate; Then, even if your horse control skills are very average, you can still advance and retreat freely.
Now these new riders of the cavalry brigade are actually in this state. Clever mounts know what their master is going through and are willing to work with them to get through it. As a result, the cooperation between humans and animals has reached a natural harmony.
The war horse ran faster and faster, and the owner on horseback hugged the horse's neck and was full of love for the war horse. And the war horse was also keenly aware of this love, so he had a strong trust and dependence on the new master. The relationship between humans and horses has developed by leaps and bounds.
The devil Shaozo led his brigade to chase after him desperately. These hundreds of war horses were temporarily placed here by the order of the division commander. He was sent by the division commander to see the horses. The horse is lost, how can he explain to Lieutenant General Masaki Ito?
Pursue! Give me chase! Shao Zuo desperately chased after him. At first, he still held up the command knife and said a few cruel words, shouted a few charging slogans or something. Later, when I saw that it was useless to shout slogans, I still had to run with my head bored! But even so, he still hadn't caught up with the horse thief in front of him!
No way! All the horses of the 101st Division were stolen, and the people ran away on horseback, but the pursuers had to chase after them with two legs. It is a truth that people can't outrun horses, which was confirmed 10,000 years ago, and it is not ordinarily difficult for devils to break through now.
After forty minutes of pursuit, the horse thief in front of him completely disappeared. Not to mention the figures, now I can't even feel the shaking of the ground. The only clue is the horseshoe prints underground. Shao Zuo, who was extremely disappointed, had no choice but to report to the division commander: The military horse farm was attacked, all the military horses were lost, and the horse thief ran away on horseback!
The anger in Ito Masaki after receiving such a news can be imagined! Which daredevils dared to steal my horse? Check, be sure to check thoroughly!
Unfortunately, Lieutenant General Ito is now much less powerful than before. His orders can only be carried out within the division, and once he leaves the confines of the division, even those low-level agents will not even buy his account!
Masaki Ito wanted to find out who the horse thief was, but after asking around, he couldn't find a spy organization willing to intervene in the investigation. Lieutenant General Ito had no choice but to draw people from within the division and start investigating on his own. Non-professionals are not reliable, and the horse thief was not found out, but Okamura Ninji was recruited because of the leakage of the news.
Commander Okamura was naturally very annoyed when he heard that the 101st Division had lost the last few hundred horses! General Okamura, who has always been quite a castle, went against the norm this time, pointing at Ito Masaki's nose and cursing for ten minutes in a row, and scolded Lieutenant General Ito for a while with a blue and red face.
In fact, the military ranks of the two are generally high, and they are both lieutenant generals. But if you are a military commander, of course you have the right to point your nose and scold.
Masaki Ito was embarrassed this time, and many people were present when Okamura Ninji scolded him. After finishing his work, Lieutenant General Ito thought about it and felt that he had no face to see people, so he simply called for sick leave the next day and took a boat back to his hometown in Japan to recuperate.
Masaki Ito is gone. Commander Okamura did not assign a new commander to the 101st Division. The veterans of the division began to return home one by one, until in the end, the 101st Division was left with only an empty number.
The poor 101st Division of the Japanese Army barely survived 1939, and on February 25, 1940, it was finally revoked by the Japanese military headquarters of its number and establishment.
