Daming kill

Chapter 246 Not to be underestimated
Li Ping was leisurely and leisurely, but Zhang Qing and Qin Yi were always highly nervous.

As the two highest commanders of the Mianyang cavalry unit in this attack, the two of them have always led the reconnaissance cavalry alternately in front, back, left, and right to investigate, and they will not let go of any trouble.

They are well aware of the weight of their responsibilities.

Enemy sieges are fine, but ambushes are not.

Their strength was so weak that there were no other troops except a regiment of two pure infantry battalions and two companies of cavalry.

Such a force, no matter how elite it is, is prone to accidents if it is ambushed!
Especially with their boss Li Ping still around, there really can't be any mistakes.

Of course, after reading the enemy's report, they also knew that the possibility of the enemy daring to attack was very small, but they still didn't dare to be careless.

Those who have been killed for a long time are all aware of the variability of war, and they know how unreliable it is to blindly rely on intelligence.

It is estimated that Qin Yi, who was supposed to replace Zhang Qing who had just returned to investigate around in an open and flat area, did not move this time after passing through several ideal ambush sites including last night.

He pulled Zhang Qing to talk for a while, and he felt that he could relax properly.

Although one is the chief of staff of the cavalry regiment and the other is the deputy chief of staff, they rarely spend time together these days, and even fewer opportunities to chat.

Qin Yi's deputy chief of staff is currently more of a nominal name, and he also serves as the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion.And because the joining time is too short, most of the time Qin Yi needs to receive enlistment training for newcomers with many new cavalrymen.

However, because Zhang Qing had to focus on the reconnaissance of the mission, he had little time and energy to pay attention to the junior enlistment training. In addition, after the attack on Hanchuan, Qin Yi mainly led the 3rd Battalion. Although they are the principal and the deputy of the department, they rarely have time to really be together.

This attack on Mianyang is the longest time the two have been together.

Zhang Qing should have relaxed a lot. Instead of pushing Qin Yi away, he said with a smile: "I heard that you are all suffocated. This time you came out of Hanyang, good guy, each of you is happier than the other."

Seeing Zhang Qing's teasing, Qin Yi immediately grumbled and complained: "Hey! Everyone is prepared, but I still didn't expect that there are so many rules here in the chief soldier, especially this training for joining the group, which is really killing people. Everyone They would rather fight than receive another day of training. Is this how you survived back then?"

"It's natural. However, suffering is suffering, and aggrieved is aggrieved, but after thinking about it, it is indeed necessary and beneficial. After a few days, you will understand without me explaining. Anyway, so far , I have never heard of any of the soldiers under our general soldier complaining about the training at the beginning, only memories and emotions."

"Can it still be like this?"

Qin Yi had a look of disbelief, it seemed that he was more reluctant and unhappy at the moment.

"Be content! Although I didn't watch your training, I also know that your training has actually reduced a lot. This is because the chief soldier took care of your emotions and the special physical conditions of most of the old riders. Our cavalry regiment conducts new training by ourselves. Otherwise, you will be even crazier when we train together with the infantry like I did back then, and I guess many of you will not be able to stand it and have to run away." Zhang Qing said with a look that you have already taken advantage of it expression.

Cavalrymen have been on horseback for a long time, and they all have more or less bow-legged problems. They are generally not suitable for walking long distances, including long-distance running.There are even many people who have become crippled due to training and combat injuries. The older the rider, the slower he will walk.

Especially those Mongolian cavalry who have been riding horses since childhood are more obvious.

This is a special factor that must be considered.

Coupled with the particularity of Qin Yi's identities and past experience as cavalrymen who came to join the cavalry, and the current special environment, Li Ping, who has always attached great importance to new training, had to let a large number of cavalrymen from Xiaoyuanying, Luo Rucai and Ge Zuo Wu. The cavalry of the battalion conducted intensive training for new recruits alone and adjusted the training content.

"Is this still taking care of us? Why do I think you're teasing me?"

Qin Yi couldn't believe it even more. He had never visited or seen the infantry training before.

"I can still lie to you! Look at the regiment of these infantrymen with us now, have you ever seen such a well-regulated army? Without the most rigorous training, how can such an army that is not in order all the time !"

Although he has been amazed countless times these days, Qin Yi still subconsciously looked left and right in awe, and then nodded solemnly.

Qin Yi knew that the core of the Xiaoyuan Camp was the miners from northern Henan, and it was also the most organized and disciplined army he had ever seen.But in front of this army, the advantages of Xiao Yuanying that he was most excited about and proud of were not worth mentioning.

Even this army can only be looked up to by Xiao Yuanying, and it is not at the same level at all.

It was a feeling of being indiscriminate.

Seeing Qin Yi's seriousness, Zhang Qing continued to ask: "By the way, how about those Mongolians? They have spent a long time with Luo Rucai, who likes to enjoy themselves, and they are used to being free and undisciplined. I have been worried that they won't be able to adapt to Zongbing's place. Strict rules.

But this time the general army actually allowed a cavalry company with a large number of Mongols to join our operation, and Director Shi didn't even object.I believe the vision of the chief soldier and director Shi, and I also noticed that these Mongolian soldiers are all good, obey the rules and obey the rules, and they seem to blend in.If you are with them every day, you should understand their situation better.is that OK? "

Director Shi is Shi Lei. Although he is Duan Qiang's deputy, he was also entrusted by Li Ping to serve as the director of the teaching department of the cavalry regiment.

"Those Mongols? They're fine. Before these guys came to vote, many of them fell ill due to acclimatization, and some of them were infected with miasma. They seemed to be dead. But after they came, except for two unlucky ghosts I didn’t make it through, and the rest were all cured. Now they are all grateful, especially to our hospital and Dr. Gao, they are like gods.”

"Oh, I see."

Zhang Qing sighed, didn't say much and didn't plan to ask any more.

Zhang Qing knew best how Yuanye's malaria was cured, and also knew that Yuanye had always been the most respectful to Gao Lei.

Miasma is also malaria, which was a very troublesome disease with a high incidence in ancient times, and it was also a disease that northerners were easy to contract after entering the south.

But for Gao Lei, this is not a very complicated and troublesome matter.

Because we all know about Tu Youyou, and thus know about artemisinin.

And since Gao Lei is a doctor, she knows more and more details.

For example, the source of inspiration for Tu Youyou: the prescription for treating malaria in "Elbow Backup Emergency Prescription" written by Ge Hong in the Jin Dynasty is to grab a handful of Artemisia annua, soak it in water, twist it into juice and drink it all.

Gao Lei even briefly read the introduction about artemisinin because of her interest. She knew the reason why the efficacy of artemisinin was not obvious in ancient times. She can improve the efficacy by avoiding lightning under the existing conditions.

For example, it cannot be heated like traditional Chinese medicine, because artemisinin is insoluble in water, and heating will destroy the medicinal ingredients.

Then the fresh leaves of Artemisia annua contain the most abundant artemisinin in the flower bud stage, and the best Artemisia annua is in Sichuan, and the northern regions generally do not.

Although the use of these primary techniques does not guarantee 100% or even high effective treatment, it can still greatly increase the cure rate.

In the end, this modern medical discovery and knowledge helped Li Ping a lot and brought unexpected benefits.

For example, similar to artemisinin, salicylic acid in willow bark is a natural antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug, and its derivative is the famous aspirin.

and many more.

Finally, no matter surgery, anesthesia or various new treatment methods and drugs, they have greatly improved people's chances of survival and continued attachment.

In particular, the popularization and implementation of health and epidemic prevention knowledge reduced the incidence of Li Ping's subordinates to an astonishing level, which greatly increased people's strong desire to surrender.

Although the cure rate of some diseases is not so high, there are still very, very enough people who do not have such high expectations for this era.

You must know that many civil uprisings in ancient China relied on small medical skills similar to medicine and witchcraft to achieve large-scale cohesion and then demagogy, and finally made the people willing to be driven by it.

What's more, the medical institution led by Gao Lei is not only far stronger than those folk doctors and almost any famous doctor in the world, but also has made great strides across the times.

Speaking of these, Qin Yi also became excited, almost chattering.

"Doctor Gao and our hospital are the real gods. You don't know that two of my old subordinates had severe intestinal ulcers. They thought they would die, but they were all rescued. Now everyone is wondering about this hospital and the hospitals in it. The doctor can't believe it..."

But Zhang Qing might be used to these things, he couldn't be surprised anymore, and just kept following "oh", "oh", "oh".

Seeing Zhang Qing like this, Qin Yi thought that he still wanted to hear about the Mongols, so he scratched his head hesitantly, stopped and continued to expand, and quickly returned to the topic and said:

"Those Mongolians should be fine, not only our god-like medical skills here. The most prestigious old guy named Gamba among them also has a wife and children. His seven or eight-year-old child not only happens to be a little bit The disease was cured quickly, and then, like all the children here, he entered the military school, learned to read and write, and could do arithmetic.

Gamba is very happy all day long, active in everything he does, no matter how hard the training is, he doesn't feel tired, and he also takes the initiative to help discipline those Mongolian riders who are emotional.The Mongols have always been in groups, and they are more accustomed to listening to respected people, so they are naturally more stable. "

This time Zhang Qing finally showed a surprised expression, and said in a good mood: "I am relieved to hear you say that. Hey, I heard that your mother-in-law is going to give birth?"

Zhang Qing was listening to Qin Yi talking about the doll, thinking that Qin Yi was going to have a baby too.

"Yeah! It's about to give birth. With this hospital and Dr. Gao, I feel more relieved. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, if it wasn't for the child, I might have gone with the intruder too." Speaking of the child , Qin Yi became excited again.

"Congratulations first, if you're a boy, you'll have a future." Zhang Qing didn't bother with Qin Yi's sudden reveal of the truth, but sincerely congratulated him.

"Isn't it! However, Zhang Eryun, you are old enough to marry a wife, and you have to leave a queen for your old Zhang's family." Qin Yi said happily.

"I'm not in a hurry. Our chief soldier hasn't married yet." Zhang Qing shook his head and said.

"How old are you, how old is the chief soldier, how do you compare with him? Oops! No, no, bah! Look at my mouth. I didn't mean that. These days, I have really seen it, let the chief soldier don't look at his young age, But he is not an ordinary person, he is a martial arts star in the sky..." Qin Yi's mouth became more and more rambunctious.

"Hehe, Lao Qin, don't explain, it's fine." Zhang Qing looked at Qin Yi and laughed.

Perhaps because he felt that he had said the wrong thing, Qin Yi scratched his head and wanted to change the subject, then remembered something, and asked:

"Old Zhang, Du Sanjiang, the chief of staff of the group, is very tender. You can see him running back and forth non-stop, like a young boy who has never led a team. I heard that he is only 17 years old. It's too small!"

It's another age issue. It seems that Qin Yi himself didn't realize that his head hadn't turned the corner yet.

Zhang Qing was a little stunned, but he could only explain without pointing out: "Chief of Staff Du has never led troops. He was a platoon leader before, and it was not long. Later, he has been in the agency and has always been a staff officer. This is unexpected. He suddenly became the chief of staff, he was young, and he was also responsible for the specific command of a regiment, naturally everything happened, and the pressure was great, please understand!"

"Then if something really happened, we still have to listen to him, is that okay?" Qin Yi's tone was full of worry.

According to Li Ping's order, if a battle occurs in this attack, a regiment will implement the overall command.Although Zhang Qing is the chief of staff of the cavalry regiment, he can only assist the command organization of one regiment and obey the command of one regiment.

Zhang Qing didn't quite understand Qin Yi's worries, and was also a little puzzled.

Because there are only two companies of their cavalry, and they are attached to a regiment to fight, and the entire command organization of the first regiment has come this time, while their cavalry regiment has only his brothers here, so there should be no doubts about this.

But he simply explained: "Chief of Staff Du lacks experience in leading the army, but he has been with the commander in chief to participate in the planning of military aircraft. He is a good player in the training organization. It's still fine. Besides, he is only the chief of staff, and the regiment leader Han and the general soldier are not displayed, so there is no need for you to worry?"

"I understand the truth, but why did you say that the chief soldier got such a person who has never led an army to such an important position as commanding a war?
And these days, I am also dizzy at the adjustments of other teams.The leaders change as they say, and then those who did not lead troops suddenly lead troops, and those who lead troops suddenly stop leading troops. This is different from the normal routine of the army. I have never heard of it. Which army ever did that. "

"Oh! That's what happened, you made this turn." Zhang Qing finally came to his senses.

"This matter cannot be explained in a few words, and you will understand it after you really work in the agency. It doesn't make much sense now." He continued.

"Tell me! If you don't tell me, how do you know I don't understand?" Qin Yi was dissatisfied.

When Zhang Qing was thinking about how to explain it, he suddenly saw a number of scouts in front of them galloping back desperately, and soon they heard the voice of "a large group of enemy troops has been found ahead".

Everyone was stunned.
