142 Direction of cavalry

For Kong Jie's question, Sun Desheng seemed to have an answer, and he answered very happily, "Regiment Commander, I am a rough man, I don't know much about what tactics and strategies are involved, and I can't say it, but after so many years of leading cavalry to fight, I know a little truth, our cavalry, the biggest advantage is the word 'fast'." ”

"Therefore, when our cavalry fights, as long as it can give full play to the rapid mobility of the cavalry and the suddenness of the sneak attack, it is the most suitable tactic for the cavalry."

"In the past, during the Great War in the Central Plains, our cavalry company commander commanded very stupidly, he let our cavalry troops launch a fierce attack against the enemy's firepower, although that place is a plain, the speed of the cavalry can be maximized, but no matter how fast the horses are, can he be faster than bullets and machine guns?"

"In that battle, our cavalry company suffered heavy casualties and was almost wiped out."

"Since that great battle, I have known that the era of our cavalry charging with sabers held high is over, and now it is the age of guns and cannons, and cavalry must not be foolish enough to charge head-on."

"Getting on the horse and running, dismounting and fighting, making full use of the rapid mobility of the cavalry, and avoiding the disadvantages of the cavalry's huge target and being easily targeted by the enemy's firepower, I think this is the future development direction of our cavalry."

is worthy of being an old cavalryman who has been fighting on horseback for more than ten years, and Sun Desheng's opinion has been praised by everyone.

Thinking of the time when the Red Army was in the past, Li Yunlong said with emotion, "Lao Kong, speaking of which, among the major field armies of our Red Army, only our Fourth Front Army once had a cavalry regiment, and I remember that it was mainly to deal with the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun at that time. ”

"Speaking of which, the biggest impression on me about the cavalry is the Ma Jiajun from the opponent."

"These dogs are riding tall war horses, wielding sabers, obviously looking not far away, a sprint, people are in front of them, the knife is up and down, Lao Tzu has a lot of comrades-in-arms around him who fell under the knife of the group of bastards of the Ma Jiajun."

"Since then, I, Li Yunlong, have sworn that sooner or later, I will also have my own cavalry troops, and I will never be allowed to be slaughtered by the enemy's cavalry."

This is a tragic history, and Kong Jie, who has also experienced it, is also full of emotion.

In fact, he has always known this obsession in Li Yunlong's heart, Li Yunlong's regiment encountered the butcher's knife of Ma Jiajun back then.

Therefore, Li Yunlong's obsession with having his own cavalry unit is much more than Kong Jie's.

Instructor Chen Dalian couldn't help but open his mouth and said: "With the development of the current military and the development of various weapons, the edge of the cavalry is indeed much more worn out than in the era of cold weapons, but none of us can deny that the cavalry can play a huge role in the current military war. ”

"I have the same concept as Lao Sun and I, get on the horse and run, get off the horse to fight, I think this will be the main development direction of our cavalry in the future, that is, to ride infantry."

"Now the degree of mechanization of our Eighth Route Army troops is too low, and it can even be said that there is no at all, we can only rely on these two legs, if the devil relies on trucks, then these four-legged war horses are the trucks of our Eighth Route Army, I believe that no matter when." There will always be a place for our cavalry to shine. ”

"Well said."

Kong Jie took the lead and applauded.

"In order to adapt to the current military combat environment, the tactics of cavalry combat must be adjusted to adapt, even the Japanese cavalry, although the training of charging and stabbing on horses has never been removed, but in fact, most of the Japanese cavalry are dismounted to fight, and it is extremely rare for the Japanese to charge on horseback."

"In the future, the development direction of the cavalry company of our independent regiment, as Sun Desheng said, should give full play to the mobility of the cavalry."

"In order to ensure the mobility of the cavalry, such as heavy machine guns and large-caliber artillery, it is naturally impossible for the cavalry to carry, which will greatly reduce the mobility of the cavalry, but will make the cavalry lose its greatest advantage."

"But strengthening the firepower of the cavalry is a necessary part, so I have been thinking that in terms of increasing the firepower of the cavalry, we try to use those weapons that have strong firepower but at the same time ensure light weight, such as submachine guns, light machine guns, grenades, shell guns, etc."

"In addition, as everyone agrees, in the current military war, in the face of the enemy's strong firepower, a frontal cavalry charge, this is the most stupid tactic, no cavalry can carry such firepower, it is purely to die."

"Therefore, cavalry tactics, on the one hand, should make use of high-speed mobility and make use of all kinds of light firepower carried to give full play to the advantages of surprise attacks. On the other hand, cavalry must work in tandem with other arms to be most effective. ”

"For example, considering the terrain of the battle against the enemy, not mountains and hills, our cavalry can play the role of surprise attack. In this case, we can let the cavalry detour from both flanks and then suddenly attack the enemy, but our frontal attacking troops must fully attract the enemy's firepower and carry out the coordination of infantry and cavalry. ”

"We can also use artillery to open the breach, and the cavalry can quickly keep up, using high-speed mobility, before the defending enemy has time to rearrange the fortifications, quickly launch an attack, consolidate and expand the breach, and at the same time meet the infantry of the follow-up attack, which is a coordinated operation of the three arms of infantry, cavalry and artillery."

……

……

Kong Jie said a lot, but he didn't know whether it was systematic or not, and whether it was rigorous or not.

Anyway, standing on the shoulders of giants, he said something he knew about the cavalry like pouring beans, hoping to give Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian some inspiration.

The effect is naturally there.

As Kong Jie recounted the future direction of the cavalry, everyone fell into deep thought.

……

I don't know how long it took, maybe when everyone sighed that the regiment commander Kong Jie actually knew a lot about cavalry.

Kong Jie's opinion is finally finished.

"Having said all this, I want to say that cavalry does have an advantage over infantry in many aspects, and in future military operations, there will also be a huge tactical flexibility advantage."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be guilty of raising any cavalry company, and the cost of raising one cavalry is enough for me to raise five or six infantry."

Li Yunlong interjected: "Lao Kong, this cavalry company is my fourth nutrition. ”

Kong Jie said: "Come on, Lao Li, if I hadn't helped, with the little money of your fourth battalion, the cavalry company would have starved to death sooner or later." ”

This is the truth, and Li Yunlong does not refute it.

After all, eating people has a short mouth, and taking other people's hands is soft.

Kong Jie continued: "A thousand words, back to the most basic part is training, no matter what the future cavalry company is, no matter how the future cavalry company will fight, he has a common premise, that is, the soldiers of our cavalry company must be proficient in horsemanship, and the basic cavalry basic training must be solid, without this basic point, everything else is nonsense." ”

"So in terms of the training of the cavalry company, Lao Sun and Lao Chen all depend on your two comrades."

Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian hurriedly got up and saluted Kong Jie: "Yes!" ”

Kong Jie nodded and said: "Lao Chen, cavalry and infantry are different, if there is only one important part of the infantry, that is, people, cavalry has two important parts, people, and horses, so we not only need the soldiers to master all kinds of riding skills, all kinds of cavalry combat cooperation, but also need the soldiers to understand the horses, cultivate feelings with the war horses in the daily management, and maintain the war horses." ”

"I thought about it, you and Lao Sun cooperated in this aspect, of course, if there is something that needs to be discussed, you can also come to the regiment headquarters to find me."

"I hope you can sort out a manual, about the stable service, so how to clean and sort out the horses, how to take care of the horses, as well as in the ordinary march, in the formal battle, for the maintenance of the war horses of various points of attention, in the future, this booklet, will become the basic guidelines for the soldiers of our cavalry company to get along with the war horses in their daily life, but don't underestimate this simple booklet, with such a systematic guidance, for the improvement of the combat effectiveness of our cavalry company, I think it will be of great help."

"Yes!" Instructor Chen Dalian and company commander Sun Desheng responded again.

Kong Jie nodded, said hello to the pumpkin in training, waved his hand, and then returned to the regiment headquarters with Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong.

Looking at the backs of the three of them, Chen Dalian sighed with emotion: "Old Sun, have you found it?" Our regimental commander knows cavalry very well! ”

Sun Desheng agreed: "I don't have to say, being able to meet such a regiment commander who understands cavalry tactics is the gospel of our cavalry." ”

"That's a good thing to say, by the way, Lao Sun, didn't you ask me before, it's the same kicking, what's the difference? You also saw what the head of the regiment did, right? ”

Sun Desheng begged for mercy with an embarrassed face: "Instructor, you just spare me, can't I change it?" In the future, it will never be easy to beat and scold the soldiers. ”

Commander Chen Da breathed a sigh of relief, "Old Sun, I hope you can understand that our Eighth Route Army is a new army team that is completely different from the old warlords, we are a pure team with faith and blood. ”

"These soldiers of the recruit company are not only your subordinates, they are also your comrades-in-arms, your robes, and your brothers."

"So if we can replace scolding and punishment with respect and care, I think it will definitely have a better effect."

"Hmm!" Sun Desheng nodded convincingly, but he pulled the hair that didn't exist on his head with some embarrassment, "But I'm afraid that my temper will come up and I can't control it, so that, instructor, if I beat and scold the warrior again, you will kick me hard in the ass." ”

Chen Dalian: "......"

The little soldier pumpkin came over at some point and said with a smile: "Instructor, in fact, if the company commander really doesn't scold us one day?" We probably aren't used to it! ”

Sun Desheng was suddenly overjoyed, "Instructor, look, this is not bad for me!" ”

"You kid, why do you still owe scolding?" Chen Dalian hated iron and opened his mouth.

The three of them couldn't help but laugh together......
