The night owl laughed angrily, stretched out his hand and pointed at Zeng Yuliang's nose and said, "Heh, what are you talking about!" Do I have a problem riding a horse? Ha Luha, you can't prevaricate with such words! ”

The other cavalry officers also expressed their support, sneering: "Cut, you are in the right position, you are on!" ”

"I don't have the ability to do it, and I still talk cool things, what kind of person is it!"

"Yo ho, you still want to be an instructor for us at this level? Hurry up, let's go while cooling! ”

"With your small appearance, dare you say that our brigade commander is not in the right posture? Spit on you! ”

……

Seeing that the cavalry officers were getting more and more noisy, Political Commissar Cheng couldn't help coughing heavily and shouted, "What are you doing here!" Could it be that Staff Officer Zeng (temporarily the cavalry staff officer of the 97th Army) didn't have the strength to finish speaking? ”

Political Commissar Cheng's prestige in the army grew, and as soon as he spoke, the officers who were coaxing immediately became honest. It was much quieter inside and outside the venue.

Zeng Yuliang took the opportunity to stand up and explained calmly: "Everyone, what I said is well-founded, and I can prove it to everyone now." Uh, please come over here, Brigade Commander Ye. Yes, it's in the middle. ”

The night owl wondered, "What do you mean?" However, he still obediently stood in the middle of the meeting hall and stood upright in a military posture. Because it is facing away from the sun, a ray of sunlight passes through the middle of the night owl's legs. Well, obviously, he's a loop-legged, and he's more serious.

Liao Yaoxiang couldn't help but exclaim, and muttered, "Hey, why did you suffer from Luo Quan's leg, and it's still so serious?" ”

Several cavalry officers grinned and said, "I've been riding horses for a long time." Isn't that all there is to it? What's so strange about this, urine sex! As he spoke, he deliberately spread his legs to show everyone, as if this was the sign of a veteran cavalryman.

Others also coaxed and said, "That's it, it's not a girl, why are you so tight?" ”

Liao Yaoxiang shook his head and said, "No, what Staff Officer Zeng said just now is very correct. The reason why Brigade Commander Ye suffered from looped legs was caused by the posture of riding a horse. We must correct this immediately, otherwise it will seriously affect our operations. ”

In fact, according to Liao Yaoxiang's knowledge, he should have discovered this a long time ago. It's just that he was completely attracted by the night owl's riding skills just now, so he didn't notice.

Bandy. This is medically known as "varus". When standing with both lower limbs naturally straightened or standing. The main manifestation of deformity is that the inner malleolus of the two feet can touch each other but the knees cannot be brought together. Due to the wrong posture of riding horses in ancient China (including the whole East), riders had more or less problems with this.

Some people think that riding a horse for a long time will cause it to circle the legs, just like reading for a long time and becoming short-sighted. Actually, this is a serious misunderstanding. Words of unbelief. You can pay attention to the decades. World-class professional riders who live on horseback all year round (they have to ride several horses every day). Not only did these riders not suffer from this problem. And most of them have two handsome, long, toned legs (if you're interested, you can search for photos of dressage champions).

What is the posture of riding a horse in the East? The legs are outwardly sandwiched between the horse's belly. Of course, this posture can't be completely wrong. It has one advantage. It's just that the clamp is very tight and not easy to fall off. When the Mongols swept across Europe, Western knights thought that the Mongols' buttocks grew on horseback. In addition to the stirrup, this posture is also one of the most important reasons.

Despite this advantage, the disadvantages are also very obvious. The first is that the rider is prone to grow into looped legs, which affects the dismount of the horse. With the popularization of hot weapons, there are more and more times when cavalry need to dismount to fight, and the impact is becoming more and more serious.

In addition, the legs are stepped on the stirrups in a figure-eight pattern, and the stress points of the feet are relatively backward. In order to avoid fatigue of the arch of the foot, it is necessary to put your feet into the stirrups as much as possible. But in this way, a new problem arose - when you fall off the horse, it is easy to pinn your feet in the stirrups and not be able to pull out.

I think that President Chang Kaishen led the Northern Expedition and inspected Tang Shengzhi's Eighth Army in Wuhan. During the parade of troops, military music sang in unison, and the scene was very lively. Unexpectedly, the war horse was frightened, and suddenly neighed, and its front hooves rose into the air, throwing Principal Chang down at once. It was even more unfortunate that Principal Chang's feet were pinned in the stirrups and dragged by the war horse and galloped......

Fortunately, Principal Chang was wearing riding boots at the time, and after being dragged by the horse for a while, the riding boots fell off his feet, and he was spared. Otherwise, Chinese history will be rewritten.

The night owl was quite unconvinced at first, but when he looked down, the more he looked at it, the more awkward he felt. Young people, they all love to be pretty. No matter how you look at it, the lap legs can't match the "pretty". In addition, he pursued a female nurse in a field hospital some time ago, but he didn't expect to be rejected mercilessly.

I haven't figured out the reason before, but now that I think about it, could it be that I think I have a looped leg? The more the night owl thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and he was depressed. If it weren't for the shame, I was afraid that I would cry on the spot.

Zeng Yuliang and Zhou Chunlin pointed out several mistakes and deficiencies in the cavalry brigade in succession. Although most of the problems they pointed out were minor problems, quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes, and these small problems add up to major problems, reflecting the huge gap between the cavalry brigade and the advanced cavalry in the world. With each word, the officers and men of the cavalry brigade lowered their heads a little. At first, they were all arrogant, eager to raise their nostrils to the sky, but after being hit by Zeng Yuliang and them, their heads were almost stuffed into the crotch of their pants.

Not only were the officers and men of the cavalry brigade convinced, but even the officers of the newly formed Third Cavalry Division and the Fourth Cavalry Division secretly wiped a cold sweat. Because of some of the problems of the cavalry brigade, they did not pull it down, and some of them were even more serious than the situation of the cavalry brigade.

Xu Mingshan whispered to Zhang Dongkai: "Division, fortunately, it wasn't our division's troops who came to compete, otherwise this person would have lost a lot!" ”

Zhang Dongkai had a serious expression and said, "Well, have you all written down what Staff Officer Zeng and Staff Officer Zhou said just now?" Let's check it out when we go back, and if there is a problem, we must correct it. ”

Chief of Staff Liu Zhonglin nodded again and again and said, "You are right, Shizao!" Let's self-check behind closed doors. Don't be ashamed, let others find fault with that, that's to throw people to grandma's house. ”

Zhang Dongkai corrected: "This is not just as simple as being embarrassed. If you go to the battlefield with a problem, you will lose your life! ”

The two of them hurriedly responded.

Zheng Weiguo then ordered the formal establishment of the Cavalry Section of the Military Academy, with Zeng Yuliang as the director and Zhou Chunlin as the chief instructor. The Cavalry Section consists of two departments, a cadet department and an intermediate command department. In addition to learning the art of cavalry command, the intermediate command department should also learn the problem of coordination with other branches of the armed forces.

Liao Yaoxiang saw that his eyes were hot, and he couldn't help but say to Zheng Weiguo: "Commander-in-chief, can you open another mechanized cavalry section?" I would like to teach this to the students. ”

Zheng Weiguo was stunned, he was thinking about how to recruit Liao Yaoxiang. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to come to the door.

Liao Yaoxiang saw that Zheng Weiguo did not respond. Thinking that Zheng Huzi couldn't trust himself, he said curtly: "If the commander-in-chief thinks it's not suitable, forget it." Actually, I don't mean anything else, I just want everyone to learn this new topic, after all, this is the direction of the future development of cavalry. ”

Zheng Weiguo hurriedly said: "Oh. I'm sorry. I was just thinking about things. Some distracted. Jian Chu, this idea of yours is very good. I decided to open a training course for mechanized cavalry at the Military Academy to study the new topic of mechanized cavalry. In order to ensure the quality of teaching. I also intend to allocate all the tanks and armored vehicles on hand to you, and you will be at your command. ”

At present, the 41st Army has a total of 12 tanks, of which five were captured in the battle between the rivers, and the other seven were captured in the battle of Lanfeng and subsequent operations. The Japanese suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Lanfeng, but most of the tanks were destroyed by the Japanese.

The 41st Group Army lacked both professional maintenance personnel and corresponding maintenance equipment, so most of the destroyed tanks could not be driven away, so they had to give up painfully. Of course, the parts that can be removed should be removed as much as possible, and the parts of the tank can be replaced in case they are broken.

The number of armored vehicles was a little higher, twenty-four, which was twice the number of tanks. Because in addition to the Japanese army, the Chinese army at that time was also equipped a lot. Like the Jin Sui Army in the Battle of Taiyuan, the Central Army in the Battle of Lanfeng all had formed troops. A large part of this equipment went to the 41st Army.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Weiguo actually handed over the only mechanized unit of the 41st Group Army to himself, Liao Yaoxiang was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Zheng Weiguo.

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "No thanks, I asked you to command this army because I am optimistic about your ability, and I hope you will not let me down." ”

Liao Yaoxiang hurriedly promised: "Please rest assured, the lowly post will definitely lead this army." ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded, and asked again: "Well, I know that it is difficult to build mechanized troops in Ludao. What more could you ask for? If there is, I will try to be satisfied. ”

Liao Yaoxiang thought for a moment and said: "General seat, I think that tanks and armored vehicles are not enough, and there must also be trucks. In addition to drivers, the troops also need combat units, engineering troops. In addition, such as fuel, accessories, and ammunition must be supplied. And ......"

Zheng Weiguo smiled helplessly: "That's it, you go back and sort it out, and then write a report to me." ”

Liao Yaoxiang was overjoyed and said, "Xie Lu Xie Zongzao, then I'll go back!" Saying that, he saluted, turned around and left in a hurry, and didn't even hear Li Liangrong call him from behind.

Zheng Weiguo and Political Commissar Cheng looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

After the end of the field, the cavalry officers who came to observe were so worried that they hurriedly said goodbye and left. Zeng Yuliang and Zhou Chunlin were ordered to set up a cavalry department, and Zheng Weiguo stayed to talk for a while before leaving.

As soon as they walked out of the garrison of the cavalry brigade, they suddenly saw night owls waiting under an old locust tree at the entrance of the village. God knows how he got to the front, but looking at the way he probed his brain, it was obvious that he was waiting for the two of them.

"Uh, Brigadier Ye, what are you?" Zeng Yuliang stepped forward and asked suspiciously.

The night owl's face was full of embarrassment, and he asked pitifully: "Staff Officer Zeng, oh no, Director Zeng!" I, can I still be cured of this lap leg? ”

Zhou Chunlin heard it from behind, so he spread his hands and smiled: "Brigade Commander Ye, you have to find a doctor for this, we won't do this." ”

The night owl thought that they had a grudge against the game and refused to help, so they knelt down with a plop, startling Zeng Yuliang and Zhou Chunlin, and hurriedly reached out to help.

Who would have thought that the night owl would not get up, and cried bitterly and said: "Director Zeng, Chief Instructor Zhou, you two can't see death without help!" The yield of our Ye family for three generations can't be destroyed in my hands, woo woo ......" (to be continued......
