Faced with a series of questions from the monk, Yang Bing looked at Sun Chuanzhong.

Sun Chuanzhong said: "Don't look at me, you kid, the cavalry company in our regiment has not arrived yet, and the first to reinforce this time are the comrades of our independent regiment." ”

Yang Bing nodded, thought for a moment and replied:

"Judging from our confrontation with the Japanese puppet army, the devil has a squad of about a team, plus the puppet army, there are more than a hundred people."

"The heavy weapons have not been found for the time being, but the machine guns and grenadiers in the hands of the devils are very powerful, the captain took us to block the Japanese army, and more than 20 of our militiamen, after a confrontation, nearly half of the casualties were lost."

"The captain in the back let us scatter, fight separately, and rely on the house to block the Japanese army, which is barely holding out until now."

The monk nodded, squatted directly on the ground, and handed a branch to Yang Bing:

"Draw a sketch, a top-down floor plan, and mark in detail the specific location of the rice farm in Xiaoli Village, as well as some simple terrain conditions around it, including what paths there are and how many houses there are."

Duan Peng on the side tacitly arranged several soldiers to reconnoiter the situation in all directions of the village.

At the same time, a guard post was dispatched to ensure the safety of the surrounding area.

Yang Bing drew a sketch on the ground according to the monk's intentions, and Sun Chuanzhong on the side also knew a little about Xiaoli Village, and assisted in marking the location.

The location of the rice field where the people were gathered by the devils was soon clearly shown on the sketch.

The monk analyzed: "The rice field is on the left side of the former village, and there is still more than a mile away from us, and the devil must have arranged a guard around it." ”

"If we approach rashly, we will definitely startle the snake, and once the devil takes the people as hostages, we will be passive."

Sun Chuanzhong, the commander of the second battalion, agreed: "Yes, it seems that we can only find a way to sneak over, first kill the guards around the rice field, and rescue the people in advance." ”

The monk was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Second battalion commander, similar to the situation in front of you, the devil deliberately gathered the people, has it happened before?" ”

Sun Chuanzhong thought for a while and replied: "Indeed, there have been times when the devils even used the people as bait, and after our soldiers went to the rescue, they were ambushed by the devils, and the people also suffered a lot of casualties.

Later, all our villages dug tunnels in advance and conducted emergency evacuation drills.

After that, as long as the vigilance is strengthened, the devil moves in advance before he comes, and such a situation has never happened again. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Chuanzhong also came back to his senses.

"Monk, you mean this could be a trap?"

The monk nodded and said: "This is an obvious thing, there are only more than 100 Japanese puppet troops, and the devils don't even have heavy weapons in their hands, and they can deal with the militia team, but once our main force arrives, are these devils and puppet troops waiting for death here?" ”

"The little devil won't be unclear, this is the guerrilla zone of our 28th regiment."

"Well, there is only one possibility for them to dare to do this, and this is a trap they set in advance."

"During this period of time, after the devils used a large number of tanks and armored vehicles in the central Hebei area, our central Hebei departments were forced to temporarily avoid the front and chose to use the tunnel to transfer to avoid the attack of the Japanese army.

The little devil wants to use the people as bait to lure us out of the tunnel, and then annihilate us in one fell swoop, which is a despicable method commonly used by cunning devils. ”

Thinking of this, the monk looked at Duan Peng and said:

"Duan Peng, we have to find a way to carefully reconnoiter the situation around the village, I suspect that the devil will have a main force ambush nearby, just waiting for our reinforcements to jump into the encirclement by themselves."

"Okay, I'll personally lead the team to reconnoitre!"

Duan Peng said, turned his head and led a few soldiers to leave from the direction of the back village, and lurked in some areas near the village to investigate.

The monk and Sun Chuanzhong continued to plan how to use the limited manpower they had at hand to rescue the people from the rice fields.

At this time, Duan Peng's guard post that had been arranged in the direction of Houcun suddenly returned and reported: "Report to the company commander, we found the cavalry team of the 28th Regiment one mile away from Houcun. ”

"This Sun Daping can run so slowly on a horse, but it's finally here!" Sun Chuanzhong couldn't help but bury a sentence.

When the monk heard this, his mind changed sharply and said: "Second battalion commander, there is a way, let's meet with the comrades of the cavalry company first, and then we will need the help of our cavalry company for a while." ”

"Good!" Sun Chuanzhong responded.

Having made up their minds, a group of people quickly met Sun Daping, the commander of the cavalry company of the 28th Regiment who had led the team, in the Houcun area.

When the two sides met, the monk sighed with emotion, it was really a coincidence that there was no book, Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry company of our independent regiment, is surnamed Sun, and the commander of the cavalry company of your 28th regiment, good guy, also surnamed Sun!

What the monk didn't know was that when Commander Lu formed a cavalry company and selected candidates for the cavalry company, the commander of the military region said that there were two cavalry talents for Commander Lu to choose.

Commander Lu listened to the resumes of the two, and when he heard Sun Daping, he just heard the name, and said directly: "Commander, don't choose, it's Comrade Sun Daping!" ”

The commander was puzzled and asked why?

Regiment Commander Lu explained: "Lao Kong's first detachment was originally formed in the cavalry company, and the company commander was also surnamed Sun, called Sun Desheng, and now everyone has built a semi-mechanized heavy battalion. ”

"Let's also get a man surnamed Sun to be the commander of the cavalry company, this is all surnamed Sun, it can't be worse than anyone, right?"

The commander was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time.

Then he sighed with emotion: "Cough, this Sun Daping is unlucky enough, before he took office, you set such a big goal for others!" ”

Back to the present, he said that Sun Daping is also a vigorous and resolute character.

After listening to the second battalion commander and the monk talk about the current situation in Xiaoli Village, the villagers were controlled by the little devils in the rice field area.

Sun Daping immediately said: "Second battalion commander, it is important to save people at the moment, our cavalry is fast, directly from the outside of the village left and right, from the back to hit the Japanese puppet army by surprise, rescue the villagers." ”

Sun Chuanzhong said: "Nonsense, the current situation is not as simple as you think, let's sum up with the comrades of the Independent Regiment, and then discuss how to cooperate to save people." ”

Sun Daping glanced at the monk and said, "Company Commander Wei, we also saw the motorcycles and bicycles you parked at the foot of the mountain when we came, I really didn't expect your things to run faster than our war horses." ”

"If you want to say that this oil is better than eating grass."

He asked again: "It's just that I don't see that the number of those cars is large, Company Commander Wei, there shouldn't be many people coming here this time, right?" ”

The monk nodded, "There is only about one platoon of troops. ”

"This point of strength is too small, Company Commander Wei, the comrades of your independent regiment have come from afar, and the main force this time must be handed over to our cavalry company." Sun Daping said in a somewhat domineering tone.

"What does Company Commander Sun want to do?" The monk asked.

Sun Daping replied without hesitation: "I divided the cavalry company into two parts, interspersed with sneak attacks on the back of the Japanese army from the left and right of the front village, Company Commander Wei, you have few people, so you will assist in the battle, and find a way to rescue the people along the direction of the back village." ”

The monk said: "The devil must have laid fortifications in the front village, and the machine gun grenadier is waiting solemnly, Company Commander Sun, if your cavalry rashly launches an attack, casualties will definitely be inevitable." ”

Sun Daping smiled, smiling brightly, and he thought that the monk probably didn't understand what cavalry tactics were.

He explained: "Company Commander Wei, please rest assured, since the birth of thermal weapons, the era of cavalry charging is gone. ”

"Our cavalry company will not stupidly charge with flesh and blood towards the position of the devil full of machine-gun fire."

"Now is the era of lancers, get on the horse and run, get off the horse to fight, this is the mainstream, I will lead the cavalry company to quickly intersperse the past, dismount and engage in a confrontation with the Japanese puppet army, delay until Company Commander Wei You successfully save the people, and then evacuate by horse in time."

The monk shook his head and said, "Company Commander Sun, although I am not a cavalryman, I have talked with Battalion Commander Sun of our first semi-mechanized heavy battalion about the future of cavalry tactics. ”

"Battalion Commander Sun said that this cavalry battle must be flexibly applied according to different combat situations and adjust tactics at any time."

"The Great Age of Genes"

"There is never the best tactic on the battlefield, only the most suitable tactic."

"This set of your lancers, using war horses to quickly run to a certain area, and then dismount to fight, this is indeed very practical in most cases, war horses only play a role in quickly transporting troops."

"But the current situation is different, I'm afraid that after your cavalry and war horses are separated, the devils will quickly cut off the connection between the two of you, and you won't be able to withdraw when you want to."

"How can this be?" Sun Daping did not agree with the monk's view.

Sun Chuanzhong, the commander of the second battalion, was in the middle, and it was also a little difficult to do.

This cavalry company is directly under the command of the regimental headquarters, and although he is the battalion commander, it is not easy to force Sun Daping to cooperate with the monk's battle plan.

The three of them were in a stalemate, and the radio soldiers of the guard company quickly rushed to the monk's side and reported: "Report to the company commander, Captain Duan sent a communication that the Japanese army was found in ambush hidden in the mountains and forests one kilometer south of the village!" ”

"What, there are ambushes?" Sun Daping was shocked.

He saw the small shortwave radio station that the radio soldier of the guard company was carrying on his back, and his eyes were full of envy.

The equipment of the troops of the independent regiment is really not very good, and even the communication equipment is so advanced.

It can also be seen from this that the news from the front should be correct.

Sun Chuanzhong couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said with a worried face: "Monk, you really guessed correctly, this little devil is using the people as bait, and he has left ambush soldiers around this village, just waiting for us to take the bait!" ”

Seeing Sun Daping's stunned face, Sun Chuanzhong quickly explained the monk's previous judgment to Sun Daping.

Sun Daping was also a little glad after hearing this, if this was the case, he led the cavalry company to attack rashly.

As the monk said, once they are separated from the war horse, they will be easily divided and eliminated by the devils.

This is actually a big drawback of the lancers when fighting.

"Monk, you say, what are we going to do next, my grandson and I will listen to you." Sun Chuanzhong, the commander of the second battalion, expressed his position directly.

Sun Daping, who knew that he had underestimated the enemy before, had nothing to say, so he nodded.

The monk looked at Sun Daping and said, "Company Commander Sun, the lancers are no longer the mainstream of cavalry tactics, our battalion commander Sun said that it is the "light cavalry" that can surpass the lancers.

Being able to dismount and be proficient in both foot combat and mounted combat can be called an elite light cavalry unit.

It is not only possible to "fight and leave", but also to be able to "fight and walk at the same time" and flexibly adjust cavalry tactics at any time, so as to improve the survival ability of the troops in a cruel environment.

Of course, this is not the mainstream, the mainstream is the semi-mechanized heavy troops that combine cavalry and motorized troops, and the mainstream, even fully mechanized heavy troops, can also be said to be tank troops and armored troops. ”

After the monk's words, Sun Daping, who thought that the monk was a layman, was shocked on his face.

Dismount to fight, hit and go lancers.

Light cavalry that can not only dismount and fight, but also walk while fighting, and flexibly apply various tactics!

Which is the mainstream?

As soon as the monk's words were enough to deaf Sun Daping, he suddenly realized at that time.

"Company Commander Wei, I've been taught! How to fight next, how to rescue the people, I, Sun Daping, will obey your command! ”

is also a tough guy who is upright, Sun Daping, who realized his shortcomings, said angrily.
