Chapter 52 Scarlet Devotion (24) Mighty and majestic
The "Divisional Livestock Farm" not only raises horses, but also raises donkeys and mules.
After all kinds of livestock grow up into "people", they will be sent to various purposes, mules are generally sent to the logistics department, some areas that are inconvenient to open to traffic, but also use them to help transport materials, "mules" are the livestock farms themselves, "horses and mules" are the majority, "donkeys and mules" are few, according to the percentage, June Fourth open.
Compared with mules, the number of donkeys is more, after these donkeys grow up to become "people", one batch of them is sent to the tofu houses of various troops, and some engage in "military-civilian co-construction", which will give "subsidies and subsidies" to the surrounding villagers in difficulty, and more than half of the donkeys will be sold to the pasture, which is also the "prototype" of the army's tertiary industry in the eighties of the last century. 'Generating revenue' accounts for 40 percent of the total income of the whole division, and it is a rich place.
'War horses' is the main item of the ranch, here produces the horses of several cavalry companies of the whole division, because of the peculiar kind, in this area of the border, it is very useful, the cavalry rides on their backs, gallops on the plateau, wields the saber, not to mention how majestic.
Li Yong has been in the horse farm since he joined the army, he went from a soldier, to a platoon commander, and then to the company commander of the garrison company in the ranch area, and he was only recently promoted to the position of political assistant.
As the head of the ranch, he can't ride a horse, so he will naturally make the soldiers laugh, so Guo Kaiqing found Li Yong as his teacher, wanting to learn something from this old stable, so as to enter the 'situation' as soon as possible. ’
"Horses, you have to make friends with them and understand their anatomy. It's like the rib bones of this horse, I don't know how many of them there are without looking at it. ”
"Of course, how many years have you been here, I want to be like you, I was here when I was a recruit, and I won't be too bad." Guo Kaiqing was very unconvinced by what Li Yong said, he 'often ridden' this horse when he was a child, and the horses of the rural production team in City A made Guo Kaiqing 'bitter for the goods', and the way he rode was different from others. He belongs to the horseman, he doesn't want a saddle or anything, and he jumps up, and those old horses who are used to doing farm work will be his opponents. A lot of it made Guo Kaiqing pull out his mane, but it was ugly.
"You are so immodest. Think for yourself. Li Yong left Guo Kaiqing. He left, Li Yong's home was in the pasture, his wife was a local villager, and he grew up watching her, in fact, Li Yong was only three years older than his wife. It's just that Li Yong became a soldier too early, and he became an "uncle of the People's Liberation Army" before he grew up.
The correspondent of the field department is still very worthy of the new field manager, and he chose a fairly honest horse. It was brought to Guo Kaiqing's face.
"Is this horse fierce?" Although Guo Kaiqing is a layman, he also knows from the villain's book, and the character of this horse, like people, is powerful and not powerful.
"What? Field manager, I don't understand, you say he's not inferior, we are all good horses here, if we can't become a foal of war horses, we would have disposed of it a long time ago. ”
Guo Kaiqing saw that he couldn't understand his northern dialect, and he didn't explain much, he stepped on his war horse and galloped away into the distance.
The territory within a radius of hundreds of kilometers is all 'military production', Guo Kaiqing rode on a horse, and found that his ears were full of wind, the endless plateau was very vast, this 'honest horse', it was really very honest, without Guo Kaiqing whipping a horsewhip, it ran far away, Guo Kaiqing ran more and more happy, his mouth kept chattering, "What is this, what is this, Lao Tzu was born to be a cavalryman, what is this horse, it is a piece of cake." ”
For several days in a row, after Guo Kaiqing had breakfast, he would 'believe in the horses and run for a day', and he let the war horses run around, but no matter how he ran, it seemed that he couldn't run out of the fence of the ranch.
After Guo Kaiqing practiced riding a horse for a few days, he suddenly remembered it, and he carried it around his waist every day, like a 'general', showing off his might. At this time, the Hong Kong version of "Qin Shi Huang" was being played on TV, watching the scene of the battle on the battlefield, he also came to be interested, he wanted to see the skills of the soldiers on the ranch, to see if these soldiers were really like in the movie, all of them were real 'cavalry'.
The "Ranch Garrison Company", which is responsible for the security of the entire ranch, has more than 80 people in the company, all of whom can ride horses, and they seem very happy when they hear the field manager call them, so they gather as a whole team to accept the new field manager for a 'review'.
In order to inspect these 'cavalry subordinates', Guo Kaiqing and Li Yong studied for several days, and they still used the 'honest war horse', because if they want to inspect others, they must have to sit upright on horseback, and when they walk in front of the cavalry, the pace should not be too much, but also rhythmic, which made Guo Kaiqing practice for a long time.
Sitting on the chair, everyone can straighten the waist, if you sit on the horse, you have to hold the reins with one hand, press the knife with the other, and keep scraping your eyes on the soldiers' bodies, this is simply too difficult, although Guo Kaiqing is still hard, but he still can't complete these actions, just when he wants to give up the parade, Li Yong brought him an object, that is, a bed for pressing the bed, he waited for Guo Kaiqing to sit down, then handed him the plank, tied it at his waist, so that Guo Kaiqing's waist was also "straight".
The military parade finally began, and on the vast playground of the field headquarters, all the officers and men of the 'Ranch Garrison Company' lined up in a neat line, and the company commander first reported to Guo Kaiqing.
"Comrade Field Commander, the Ranch Cavalry Company, the whole team is complete, please review." When the company commander drew his sword, he almost didn't laugh out loud, it turned out that he didn't see Guo Kaiqing carrying a war knife on his waist, and there was a 'big question mark' on the field commander's waist, which looked so nondescript.
As soon as the "corridor" sounded, Guo Kaiqing suddenly pulled out the 'Q Che', and the cavalrymen on horseback almost fell off their horses with laughter, but fortunately, they were still holding the reins in one hand, and they all shook and shook on the horses, and sat down firmly.
Guo Kaiqing waved a few 'Q Che' on his horse very clumsily, and wanted to urge the war horse to move forward, but the horse didn't seem to understand Guo Kaiqing's intentions, and stayed still, waiting for the 'order'.
I wanted to show it in front of my subordinates, but seeing that the 'chain' had been dropped, Guo Kaiqing had no choice but to put the 'Q Che' back in the scabbard, holding the reins in one hand and the horsewhip in the other, and hurriedly walked from one end of the team to the other.
After walking again, Li Yong came over and whispered to Guo Kaiqing, "Wrong, wrong." ”
"That's right, that's right, I'm riding at the right pace, and I'm watching them come."
"You forgot to say that comrades."
"Didn't they say that the chief was good first, and I replied that they were good comrades, how is this different from the infantry parade."
"If you say it's different, it's different, what do you love, what's wrong."
Guo Kaiqing knew his mistake and corrected it, he rode a horse again to the 'front', this time he was more experienced, only three horses passed, he shouted, 'Hello comrades! ’
"Chief-Chief-Good!"
"Comrades have worked hard."
"For the people."
Next is the cavalry company's 'battlefield knife swinging show'. On a tall wooden stake, a thick layer of grass was tied, and each cavalryman passing by the stake would swing his saber and chop it, and after the blade, the tied grass would fall some of it.
"One row, follow me." A long line ran at the head of a platoon of cavalry, and he was the first to slash at the stake.
After a long line, every two seconds, the stake was slashed with a saber, and after the whole company of cavalry had chopped, the stake left a deep mark.
'Look at me. Guo Kaiqing saw that everyone had finished performing, and he also pulled out the 'Q Che', and clamped the 'honest horse' between his legs, and the horse rushed to the stake like an arrow.
"Click", after the blade of the "ask cut", the stake was cut off at the neck, everyone present looked stupid, I didn't see how hard Guo Kaiqing worked, the stake was like a cabbage, so let this 'big question mark' be cut off.
"Good!" After Li Yong shouted hello, he was the first to applaud.
When everyone saw that the assistant members applauded, they also shouted 'yes' and applauded.
Guo Kaiqing was very proud, he raised the 'Q Che' high above his head and shook it back and forth.
'Wow', the 'honest horse' galloped out of the road, it turned out that Guo Kaiqing was happy at the same time, the 'ask cut' was busy blindly, as if it had rowed to the 'honest horse', the horse was in unbearable pain, and without waiting for Guo Kaiqing to issue an order, it rushed out of the road and ran straight in the opposite direction of the cavalry.
"Leave me alone, I can do it alone." Guo Kaiqing threw the 'Q Che' in his hand to the ground, grabbed the reins with both hands, and lay on the horse's back.
All the cadres and soldiers, including Li Yong, heard Guo Kaiqing's 'order', saying that he could do it alone, and he didn't let everyone help him, so he had to stay where he was, waiting for their field commander to fly back on horseback. (To be continued......)
