Chapter 33: Forming a Cavalry Regiment

Now that Li Yunlong has abundant supplies, he has not formulated any new combat operations in the past few days.

The devils did not come out to sweep on a large scale, and the superiors did not issue any operational documents. Li Yunlong is living a day of drinking and waiting for wine every day.

Although life was relatively comfortable, Li Yunlong paid great attention to the training work of the whole regiment.

Especially the recruits recruited by Guan Dashan.

If the recruits have not undergone hard and rigorous training, they will be cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Because of this, Li Yunlong allocated much more materials to the recruit battalion than the 123rd battalion.

Not only was each person given a 38 cap, but also a medium rifle and a grenadier canister were also issued to each person. The bullets are even more powerful, and after 10,000 rounds are fired, another 10,000 rounds are allocated.

With the support of a large number of weapons and equipment, as well as the strict training of veterans, the combat effectiveness of this new battalion has gradually improved. This is what Li Yunlong saw in his eyes.

However, Li Yunlong is more concerned about Zhang Dabiao's big knife team.

He has high hopes for this broadsword team. People are not only the best in the whole group, but also the most demanding training in the whole group.

Marksmanship, knife skills, fighting, endurance, etc. must be practiced. And it has to be trained one level higher than the average fighter

Li Yunlong deliberately turned this team into a sharp knife. Not only can you fight little devils on the frontal battlefield, you can fight bayonets with little devils, but you also have to be good at completing some special tasks.

When fighting with the little devils, if there is a strong team that goes around behind the enemy and directly smashes the enemy's headquarters, it will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

This is the reason why Li Yunlong requires strict training of the broadsword team.

"Huzi, go to the camps and have a look."

"Okay, Captain."

"Regiment commander, the army has expanded a lot during this period of time. I haven't seen it yet, and I don't know much about the strength of the whole regiment. ”

Li Yunlong smiled, "You kid don't know, Lao Tzu told you, no more, no less, more than 2,000 people." ”

Huzi was surprised, "My good man." ”

"Although I know that our group has expanded a lot recently, I didn't expect it to double directly."

When Li Yunlong first came to the new regiment, there were less than 800 people in the regiment who could move, the troops had not yet formed combat effectiveness, and the troops lacked training and actual combat experience.

The most important thing is the lack of weapons and equipment. There were less than ten light machine guns in the regiment, and none of the heavy machine guns. The rifle is an old sleeve, made in Hanyang, and the rifling is smoothed. In this way, neither of them could share a gun.

To this day, a new group of shotguns has been replaced by cannons. The equipment has been changed, and everyone is holding a three-eight big cover and a formal rifle. Mortars, heavy machine guns, too. The number has doubled.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the current strength and weapons and equipment of the new regiment, it is not a problem to compete with a fully organized devil brigade.

"Hahaha! We are also the main force of the Eighth Route Army, we can't even be inferior to the county brigade, right? ”

"The head of the regiment is right. Follow the head of the regiment, just have meat to eat. ”

"You kid, you also learned to say good things, and you have slapped the horse."

Huzi scratched his head, "This is the truth." He said with a smirk.

Soon, Li Yunlong walked to the training place of Zhang Dabiao's big knife team.

Zhang Dabiao saw Li Yunlong coming from afar, and immediately ordered the whole team to rest on the spot. ran all the way to Li Yunlong.

"Commander, what are your instructions?"

"I don't have any instructions, I just want to see how your big knife team exercises and trains."

As soon as Zhang Dabiao heard this, he immediately came to his senses and knew that his opportunity to show his face in front of the regiment commander had come.

"Yes, Captain."

Zhang Dabiao immediately turned around to face the big knife team that had been practicing for an hour or two and had not rested for two minutes, and shouted loudly: "All of them, practice!" ”

"Yes!"

When the soldiers of the broadsword team saw the arrival of the regimental commander, they were in a hurry to show themselves and show their faces in front of the regimental commander.

After Li Yunlong looked at it for a while, he said to Huzi: "Huzi, I still have some ability to see that I don't have this Dabiao, and this big knife team is quite decent." It seems that after training for a while, Lao Tzu can arrange a little special task for them to perform. ”

"Special missions? What special tasks? ”

Li Yunlong smiled, "You'll know later." ”

Suddenly, a neighing of horses was heard in the distance.

When Li Yunlong heard the sound, he saw that it was a group of horses galloping towards him. The leader on horseback was none other than Sun Desheng, who was rescued by Li Yunlong under the guns of the Matsumoto Brigade not long ago.

Sun Desheng also dismounted immediately after seeing Li Yunlong, and respectfully saluted a military salute, "Regiment commander!" ”

"Good! I'm more energetic these days! ”

"Captain Xie compliments."

"Keep practicing."

"Yes, Captain."

Although Sun Desheng was temporarily under the jurisdiction of Zhang Dabiao, he did not participate in the training of the Dadao team. The daily training is based on horse shooting and equestrian assassination.

Li Yunlong watched Sun Desheng lead more than ten of his subordinates, and he could hit the target in an instant under the high-speed gallop of the horse, but he was sincerely amazed.

Many soldiers stood in place, facing the target and shooting inaccurately, let alone riding a horse. This is really not a cover.

It's a pity that there are only about a dozen cavalry under his command at present. If you get a batch of war horses, why can't you get a cavalry company or even a cavalry battalion?

At this time, a soldier ran to Li Yunlong, "Regiment commander, brigade headquarters documents." ”

Li Yunlong took it and opened it to take a look, and he could understand all the words.

In the past, taking into account the education level and literacy rate of cadres at the regimental and battalion levels, the documents issued were generally concise and to the point, and there was basically no situation where the documents could not be understood.

Or, to make it a little easier, send a correspondent out to pass on the order.

Li Yunlong looked at the document carefully and probably understood the content of the document.

"Huzi, go and call Sun Desheng to Lao Tzu."

"But didn't he just go to practice?"

"You kid is talking so much nonsense, go quickly!"

"Yes, Captain."

Li Yunlong was secretly happy, he really wanted to come to something, but he didn't expect that now the division commander would also come to rob.

After a while, Sun Desheng stood in front of Li Yunlong out of breath.

"Commander, are you looking for me?"

"Yes. The brigade headquarters sent a document saying that the division headquarters was preparing to form a cavalry regiment and ordered each regiment to surrender the horses. ”

"And it's a death order, if there is no regiment without horses, even the regiment commander and battalion commander can ride horses and pack horses that pull things."

"Prepare for this. Pack up and hand over your thirteen horses to the division. ”

"This ......"

Sun Desheng was hesitant, obviously a little embarrassed to hear it.

"What? You kid don't want to? ”

"This ...... Captain, these horses have been with me for a few years! ”
