"Next, according to the order given to me by Lord Wang, I can cavalry between this Mongolian region as I see fit, and Lord Wang has given us the establishment of two cavalry divisions. And we intend to name it the 1st Independent Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Military District and the 2nd Independent Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Region. And this formation of cavalry is inevitable. Because in the Mongolian region, there are steppes everywhere, and it is impossible for us to pursue the enemy's cavalry by relying on infantry. We do not deny that our infantry firepower is very fierce, but once we fight on the steppe, we will not be able to extend the victory by pursuing the enemy without cavalry. ”

"Since ancient times, the cavalry has suffered a lot in the face of the infantry, when people attack you, the infantry loses, that is, almost all the army is annihilated, and you can't run away from the cavalry, only to be chased and killed. If even if you hold your position, the cavalry can run away, and you can't catch up with them at all. And whether people fight or not, how to fight, or to what extent, the initiative of war is completely in the hands of the enemy. This is where our infantry in the Central Plains suffers the most, and the most important means of dealing with cavalry is actually cavalry. ”

"We are still inseparable from cavalry for the time being, especially since our chariot units have not been able to be formed. At present, our tank unit in Taiwan is just a tank regiment. The speed at which our tank regiment traveled was only about fifteen kilometers per hour, which was not suitable for long-distance attacks. Moreover, tank regiments are only used as experimental troops, not as real troops. At present, the tank regiment is under the command of our Mongolian Military Region, and this is the trust that Lord Wang has placed in us. However, the tank unit was only used for experiments, and could not be used as the main force on the battlefield. And in this Mongolian region, it will not work without cavalry. ”

"I know that the Russians have millions of Cossacks, and the Cossack cavalry is the most famous cavalry in Europe. And if they a large number of cavalry into the steppe. Then we may face the result of exhaustion. At that time, the Cossack cavalry could have been constantly harassing around our large army, and we would certainly be in great trouble at that time. In particular, we are currently understaffed, and our follow-up recruits are still being trained. Although our Mongolian Military Region has been established, in fact the Mongolian Military Region is only a military region with only one army, and the next troops have not yet arrived, so we can only gradually clean up these people. We recruited two cavalry divisions from the local Mongols. It can greatly compensate for the lack of our troops. And was able to effectively contain the enemy's Cossack cavalry. ”

Zhu Yuan began to explain the importance of recruiting cavalry, especially the importance of recruiting cavalry to enable them to reach the level of a Cossack cavalry capable of containing the Russians. At present, in the Mongolian region, there are steppes everywhere, and the infantry is very defensive and not enough to attack, so it is necessary to form cavalry to effectively contain the enemy. Otherwise, if those Russians use kraft candy tactics to stick to the Taiwanese army, the Taiwanese army can only be exhausted at that time. At that time, whether people fought or not, how to fight, and to what extent they fought were mostly decided by the Russians. The pace of the war is in the hands of the Russians. This must be very disadvantageous. Those who can contain cavalry are still cavalry in this era. The tank corps has only one regiment in strength, which is not enough to be able to fight so many cavalry, and the tank corps is not mature at the moment and certainly cannot be used as the main force.

However, the high-speed rail side, who was the deputy envoy of the patrol, also immediately added: "I will also add some, that is, we recruit soldiers." It's not just about keeping our forces full. And, we're going to pull these Mongols over to our side. Know why we would rather choose to recruit troops in Shandong and Zhili. Instead of choosing to conscript in Taiwan? That is to say, I hope that the people of Shandong and Zhili can also follow us and follow us. Because only by absorbing the soldiers of Shandong and Zhili can the people of Shandong and Zhili regard us as their children. ”

"As for this side, the same is true, if we sign two cavalry divisions, about 10,000 people. The more than 10,000 people are breathing and sharing the same fate with us. And we can let them influence their families and friends ten times more, and then the hearts of at least 100,000 people will follow us. If Mongolia has their children to follow us, then we will also be their soldiers and let them support us. This is actually to tie the Mongols to our chariots and then go together against the Russians. So this enlistment cavalry. Not only a military necessity, but also a political necessity to maintain our rule in the Mongol region. Only by letting the Mongols work for us can the Mongols truly be able to return to us. ”

Everyone said they understood, but then everyone also discussed the formation of cavalry.

"The formation of cavalry, naturally, cannot be in accordance with the composition of our infantry. An infantry division has five or six regiments, and I plan to set up a cavalry division, and there are not so many regiments. There are only three cavalry regiments under the cavalry division under his command, and there are no artillery and machine gun units at the regimental level, etc. Each cavalry regiment is subordinate to about three cavalry battalions and one machine gun battalion. And a cavalry battalion is subordinate to three cavalry companies and a machine gun company. Each cavalry company has about 100 people, plus a machine gun company of 400 people, forming a cavalry battalion. Three cavalry battalions formed a cavalry regiment, about 1,200 men. Then three cavalry regiments plus some auxiliary and logistical units and so on, a cavalry division is about 5,000 to 6,000. ”

The ability of cavalry lies in its flexibility and mobility, so it is not suitable for forming too large a formation. Compared with the infantry divisions with more than 10,000 or 20,000 infantry, the cavalry division may only have a few thousand people. Even, some cavalry regiments are only a few hundred people, so they are called a cavalry regiment. The cavalry had a large number, but their numbers were far smaller than that of the infantry, because they had few artillery units, and even if they had artillery, they were mainly mortars and had no heavy artillery. And all kinds of auxiliary personnel are relatively few, because the cavalry itself is an IE transport force, and there is no need for specially formed logistics transport units to transport. Therefore, the number of cavalry is large, but the number is much smaller.

A cavalry division with a number of several thousand people is no less effective and "weight" on the battlefield than an infantry division. Especially in those fast-running operations, it plays an incomparable role. Therefore, 5,000 cavalry troops can be regarded as a division, and cavalry training is difficult and costly. Even raising a horse is more expensive than raising a person, which means that the horse of the cavalry is equivalent to a person.

"But what do we do? We don't have cavalry equipment, and we don't have horses! Someone from the logistics department immediately asked.

Gao Tiefang immediately said: "We can let the herdsmen bring their own horses, and then we can provide some weapons." ”

"Let the Mongols bring their own war horses? This ......"

It is the first time that everyone has heard that soldiers are required to prepare their own war horses, and you must know that the Taiwan army has always been provided with weapons by the army, and this war horse is naturally also a weapon, so that they subconsciously think that they should provide it. But now they still let the herdsmen provide their own war horses, which is simply incomprehensible to them.

"You don't know, do you? During the Tang Dynasty, the government military system was implemented, and the court distributed the land to the people, and then the people had to serve in the military and provide their own weapons. And since we want to carry out grassland reform, it is better to combine the two. We give them pasture, cattle, sheep and horses, so why don't we let them provide their own horses? If we give them pasture, then naturally we have to give them military service. Otherwise, their pastures are too cheap, and they simply get them without paying. If we let them get the land without paying anything, then we are being too good to them, unconditionally good, so that they will not only not be grateful to us, but will think that we are fools. Therefore, let them do military service to get pasture, so that they can cherish this hard-won pasture and be more loyal to us. ”

"When the time comes, in order to keep their pastures, they will inevitably be much loyal to us and will not betray easily. Even in order to keep the pastures under their hands, they will inevitably fight with us, otherwise the Russians will occupy the steppes, and their pastures will not be guaranteed. If there is no constant birth, these nomads take the yurt and then go directly with the softness, so what can we do? Only by using these pastures and land can they tie their hearts and make them desperate to keep the pastures. If there is no constant birth, they will not have the perseverance to stay with us. Without perseverance, loyalty is meaningless. Gao Tie Fang said.

Obviously, everyone agrees with the words of the high-speed rail party, because the high-speed rail party is right, those who have constant production have perseverance, and if there is no constant production, there will be no perseverance. Don't say anything loyalty, the so-called loyalty is loyalty to interests. If there is interest in being a "loyal minister", then he will be a loyal minister. If it is more beneficial to be a rebel, then many people will also choose to betray. The vast majority of people in this world are not loyal, and the reason why they are loyal is only because the price of betrayal is not enough. (To be continued.) )
