Chapter 10 Cavalry Companies Become Cavalry Battalions
But as soon as Li Yunlong's words fell, the little devils who had already set up their mortars began to shell.

When Li Yunlong was fighting fiercely with the little devils in Xinzhuang, Zhang Dabiao and Sun Desheng looked at the more than 200 horses they had just seized, but they were a little embarrassed.

Seeing so many war horses, Sun Desheng scratched his head in distress and said to Zhang Dabiao:
"It would be great if all the soldiers in your battalion and company could ride horses! Now that there are so many horses, one person and two horses are enough, so that we can take advantage of our speed to interfere with the mopping teams of the little devils. It's time for the team to retreat!"

Although it is now the age of hot weapons and cavalry is the king of arms in the era of cold weapons, cavalry seems to be outdated.

But equipped with rifles and sabers, they can still harass the marching troops.

In fact, as long as the cavalry does not attack the trench positions laid by the infantry, it is still very good.

At least in terms of marching speed alone, the speed of the cavalry team is four or five times that of the infantry, so even if the cavalry team can no longer attack the enemy's position, it is still very good to only use the horse as a means of transportation.

After all, a horse that can run more than ten miles with a catty of forage does not consume fuel or electricity, isn't it the best means of transportation!

After hearing what Sun Desheng said, Bai Lixiu asked casually:

"Is it that difficult to learn to ride a horse?"

The main reason why Bailixiu said this is that before he crossed, there were many scenic spots, and places such as farmhouses and playgrounds had launched horse riding services.

Although this kind of horse riding service is only for tourists to ride on horseback and the staff will lead the horse to walk around the venue twice, but that is also horse riding, so Bailixiu doesn't think it is difficult to ride a horse.

But Sun Desheng didn't immediately get angry when he heard Bailixiu's words. After all, Bailixiu is a capable man who can kill the enemy with a single shot at more than 800 meters, and he is also the benefactor who saved him and his cavalry company, so Sun Desheng only spoke calmly. His said:

"Actually, if it's just a simple horse riding, it's not difficult. After half a day after memorizing a few horse royal passwords, you can barely ride. But it’s a bit more difficult. One or two months of practice can’t produce any effect at all.”

Bai Lixiu said after hearing Sun Desheng's words:
"As long as you know how to ride, you'll be fine. After all, retreating on horseback is much faster than running on two legs!"

Saying that, Bailixiu looked at the sky and said:

"It's already getting so dark, I believe the little devils won't carry out any more raids! Why don't we light a few fires to let the soldiers practice riding horses!"

Bai Lixiu looked at Zhang Dabiao as she spoke. After all, the highest position here is the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao, so no matter what the decision is, it is natural to seek Zhang Dabiao's approval.

When Zhang Dabiao saw Bailixiu looking at him, he naturally understood that he was asking for his consent, so he immediately said:
"Comrade Baili's method is good. Although learning how to ride a horse can't be used to fight in battle, it's still good to use as a means of transportation. After learning well, we can ride to Zhaojiayu tomorrow morning to meet up."

Following Zhang Dabiao's speech, the remaining soldiers of the first battalion and first company began to collect firewood and prepare to light the fire, and then the remaining thirty or so cavalry soldiers of Sun Desheng's cavalry company were just ready to give one teacher and three careful guidance.

While everyone was busy, Zhang Dabiao patted Bai Lixiu on the shoulder and said:

"This time you killed a little devil's cavalry brigade and rescued the cavalry company. You, Bailixiu, will take the lead. When I see the regiment leader tomorrow, I will kill you, the little devil, and report to you about saving the cavalry company. At that time, not to mention being a battalion commander based on your merits, it is still possible to be a company commander.”

Bai Lixiu was quite surprised when he heard Zhang Dabiao's words. He could become a company commander after sniping an officer. This promotion is too fast!

You must know that before this, the system light curtain in Bailixiu's mind told Bailixiu that he was just a new recruit who had just joined the independent regiment!

But then Bai Lixiu thought that this is the period of the Anti-Japanese War, and the focus is on who can follow up, not the peaceful era of later generations, where there is no chance to make meritorious service, only seniority and seniority.

In such an era of anti-Japanese war, as long as the mind is flexible and capable, it is very easy to make meritorious service.

Of course, it is easy to do meritorious service, and it is also easy to die. After all, it is a time of war.

For example, Sun Desheng's cavalry company lost two-thirds of its personnel in today's battle.

But the surprise is the surprise, but Bai Lixiu who reacted also said modestly:
"The cavalry brigade that can defeat the little devils is well arranged by the battalion commander! Besides, as long as they can beat the devils, it doesn't matter whether they are small soldiers or company commanders."

Talking about it, Bai Lixiu asked Sun Desheng to learn how to ride a horse without waiting for Zhang Dabiao to say any more compliments.

After Sun Desheng took the reins of the horse, he let Bailixiu experience the feeling of being on horseback, and at the same time explained to Bailixiu the things to pay attention to when riding a horse.

The first is not to stand behind and behind the horse to prevent being kicked.

Before getting on the horse, be sure to check the firmness of the reins, girth, and pedals by yourself or ask the horse owner, and adjust the length of the pedals. When you get on the horse, push your toes inward. Release your right foot and dismount.

The last thing to pay attention to is not to take off and change clothes immediately, especially bright clothes, otherwise the horse will be easily frightened.

Sun Desheng explained Bailixiu very carefully, and there was no such thing as beating or scolding when teaching cavalry companies to ride horses.

Under Sun Desheng's careful guidance, Bai Lixiu was able to trot around several fires on horseback soon.

In the end, the cavalry company had been teaching for most of the night before everyone in Zhang Dabiao's first battalion and company could trot around the fire on horseback before finishing the riding teaching and resting.

It is also very simple to rest in the field when marching and fighting. It is to light a few fires and then lean against the fires in twos and threes.

And Bai Lixiu lay on the ground next to the fire and slept with her clothes on, but she didn't have any marching quilts or anything like that.

After all, there are not enough weapons and ammunition, so there is no time to bring this thing.

Of course, the main reason is that this anti-sweep against the little devils is not a long-distance march, as long as you escape from the little devils' encirclement, you will come back and continue to develop after the little devils' sweep is over.

Fortunately, it was already winter, and there were no centipedes, poisonous snakes and spiders on the ground, so although it was a little colder, sleeping next to the fire did not freeze.

However, just as Bai Lixiu and the others were sleeping soundly, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had already led a team of soldiers to break out of the siege in Xinzhuang, where Li Yunlong was tens of miles away.
