Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

Not only must it be big, but it must also have good stamina, explosive power, speed, and intelligence to understand the master's orders.

These few items alone are not something ordinary horses can possess.

Therefore, although cart horses are common, these horses cannot be used as military horses.

Most of the horses of the cavalry company were sacrificed on the battlefield, and the remaining thirty or so horses disappeared. After returning to the independent regiment, they were faced with the embarrassment of having no horses to ride.

Qiao Lin had planned to wait until he returned, and slowly search for the cavalry troops where the little devils were, and then launch another surprise attack.

Just like raiding the little devil's supply station for gasoline raids, use this method to solve the problem of the cavalry company without horses.

Unexpectedly, Sleepy sent pillows, the little devil has a cavalry brigade, and it is more than enough to supplement the cavalry company.

That's why Qiao Lin was so excited. He finished his thanks first, as if he was afraid that the deputy commander would regret it.

"You."

The deputy commander-in-chief smiled helplessly, and went back to the table to pick up a pen and paper: "There are 160 people in total, which means 160 horses. I will write you a note now, and you will take people to sort out the seized materials in a while." Just lead the horse in the local area."

"and many more!"

Just as the deputy commander-in-chief was about to write, Qiao Lin suddenly remembered something and yelled.

"Fewer people?"

The deputy commander raised his eyes and stared at Qiao Lin with great interest.

Li Yunlong has done this before by making a false report of the head and leading a few more horses.

During the Long March, in order to get a batch of more bullets, Li Yunlong was stunned to report his remaining one and a half battalions into a full regiment, and received more than double the bullets.

Later, Li Yunlong's troops also broke through the enemy's encirclement and suppression by relying on these multi-collared bullets, but his false report of the number of people was also exposed.

For this reason, Li Yunlong was directly assigned to the cooking class from the position of head of the regiment, where he cooked big pot meals for three months.

"The number of people is not small, plus I have 160 and two, one is not too many and the other is not."

Jolin shook his head quickly.

At that moment just now, he also had the idea of ​​reporting too many people and getting more horses. Anyway, he had to take them back to the cavalry company, so he was prepared.

But the deputy chief commander's eyes, which seemed to read people's hearts, made him quickly dismiss this idea.

He is very familiar with this look. He has seen it countless times on the peninsula battlefield. It will only appear after the boss at that time and the current deputy commander-in-chief know everything about it.

His intuition told him that if he dared to report one more person, the cavalry would not even be able to ride a horse today.

"Then what are you shouting?"

The deputy commander-in-chief was taken aback, and changed into puzzled eyes.

Since it wasn't a matter of numbers, he couldn't figure out why Jolin would interrupt him.

"that..."

Qiao Lin trotted to the table, with a bright smile on his face, and took out a cigarette and handed it to the deputy commander with both hands, showing his intention to please.

The deputy commander took the cigarette and immediately became vigilant.

Qiao Lin's current appearance gave him a feeling of deja vu.

"Deputy Commander, you just said that you captured a cavalry brigade from the little devil, right?"

Qiao Lin took out the match again, and quickly lit the cigarette for the deputy commander in chief.

"Ok?"

The deputy commander frowned, as if he had guessed what Qiao Lin wanted to do.

"Apart from military horses, do you know if there are other supplies?"

Jolin asked with a smile.

It's not difficult to actually smile and talk, but it's more difficult to put on a sincere smile without affecting your speech.

Qiao Lin was also a little uncertain whether the curvature of the corners of his mouth was getting bigger or smaller.

"Why? The idea of ​​supplies so soon? As far as I know, the supplies brought back by your independent regiment from Boyang City have improved the overall conditions of your [-]th Division. A mere brigade should Don't put it in your eyes?"

The deputy commander-in-chief said with a half-smile, he really guessed it himself.

"Deputy Commander, look at what you said. I don't dare to think about supplies. I just asked casually. Besides, it was our regiment leader who seized the supplies. With my little vision, one gun can fill it up."

Jolin said with a smile.

"A casual question? It's fine if you don't make up your mind. That's right. Apart from military horses, there is also a batch of cavalry equipment, including sabers, horse rifles and bullets."

The deputy commander still had the same expression, looking at Qiao Lin with a half-smile.

"this and that..."

Qiao Lin rubbed his hands anxiously, but he didn't know where to start.

"Forget about this and that, just say what you have to say."

The deputy commander remembered why he felt familiar when he saw Qiao Lin's performance just now, because Li Yunlong had done the same thing in front of him before.

"Our Eighth Route Army now has a cavalry company and a cavalry unit. It's useless to keep those cavalry equipment. Why don't you give us some?"

Jolin asked tentatively.

"Hahaha..."

The deputy commander suddenly laughed.

What does this smile mean?To give or not to give?Qiao Lin couldn't make up his mind, so he could only laugh along with him.

"I ordered Li Yunlong to take over Xinyituan at that time. He was in front of me at that time, exactly the same as you are now. He was timid and refused to speak out when he wanted equipment."

The deputy commander told a story.

"Then did you give it?"

Jolin asked curiously.

"Give it."

The deputy commander nodded.

Qiao Lin was overjoyed. It seemed interesting to get some equipment for the cavalry company.

"I gave him five words."

The deputy commander said again.

"..."

Qiao Lin's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

"Do you need to equip it?"

The deputy commander-in-chief held back a smile and said.

"..."

Qiao Lin's heart fell to the bottom of the ice, and soon he comforted himself that it would be good to have a horse, and it would be more reliable to go back and think about the matter of robbing the little devil.

"What equipment do you want?"

The deputy commander suddenly changed his tone and asked.

This way of speaking is very artistic, and it instantly gave Jolin hope.

"The soldiers' sabers were either broken or gapped. I want to replace them with a saber. The horse rifle is no longer needed. The current one is still usable. The other thing is that I want some bullets. Our arsenal in the border area can't make bullets for the horse rifle. , when we got back the cavalry equipment, each soldier had [-] rounds of ammunition, and now they are basically all gone.”

Qiao Lin rolled his eyes and proposed what he wanted.

Most of these are true, but the bullets are faked. When the bullets were allocated, each soldier in the cavalry company was allocated two hundred rounds.

Except for the little devil brigade that caused the Qiaozhuang tragedy in the base area before, they basically didn't shoot much, and the soldiers still had more than 150 rounds of bullets in their hands.

The reason why he said [-] rounds was because he wanted more points. After all, horse rifle bullets are rare things. Once they are used up, the soldiers' guns are really useless. Get some and get more.

Not wanting a horse rifle is to show that he is not greedy, and all he wants are useful things.

In fact, for cavalry, the horse rifle is the weapon with the least wear and tear.

Cavalry combat mainly relies on sabers to slash at close range, and horse rifles shoot at long distances for a very short time. This kind of weapon is enough, and if there are too many, it will be left in the warehouse for ashes.

What's more, the cavalry company still has dozens of spare horse rifles, which have never been touched.

Chapter 840: This Is A Countermeasure

To sum it up, what Qiao Lin wanted was different, sabers and bullets. How could the deputy commander think that Qiao Lin would play tricks on him.

He saw with his own eyes the wear and tear of the soldiers of the cavalry company on their sabers.

The ability to successfully break through the ambush and interception of the little devils outside the city of Xin County relied on the soldiers of the cavalry company fighting a bloody path with sabers.

On the way back to the headquarters, he also noticed that some soldiers had lost their sabers, some had only half of their sabers left, and those that had not been broken were crooked and full of gaps. in hand.

Even so, the soldiers were not willing to give up.

The weapons of the cavalry were not easy to capture on the battlefield. After Qiao Lin mentioned this, he also considered the difficulties of the cavalry company.

According to people's normal point of view, among the three items of knives, guns, and bullets, the gun must be the most valuable, and the bullets are the least valuable.

A gun is not like a knife, it can be made by a blacksmith, and it does not affect its use if it is an inch long or short.

Guns are very precise instruments. From raw materials to processing, the requirements of each process are very strict, and the slightest error will affect the use.

The arsenal in the border region used to produce rifles, but due to the difficulty in obtaining raw materials, coupled with the backwardness of technology and equipment, the guns produced were almost impossible to use normally.

Either the chamber suddenly exploded when it was fired, or the bullet jammed and could not be loaded, or it always misfired inexplicably, and the bullet was fired without touching the trigger with your finger.

Just imagine, how can you fight with such a weapon?

Therefore, when the Anti-Japanese War first broke out, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army would rather charge with a broadsword or a bayonet-mounted rifle than use such a rifle to fight the little devils.

Later, with the development of the struggle situation, the rifles used by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were gradually replaced by the standard [-]-style rifles of the little devils. Because there is a dust cover on the top of the gun, it is also called the [-]-type cover by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. .

When this kind of rifle, which was mainly captured, gradually became the mainstream weapon of the Eighth Route Army, the arsenal in the border area simply gave up the production of the original rifle.

In addition to continuing to research and develop new weapons, the border arsenal temporarily focused on the production of bullets and grenades, which have relatively simple technical requirements.

Compared with guns, the production of bullets is indeed much easier. The bullet casings recovered from the battlefield are loaded with gunpowder and then the bullets are pressed in. One bullet is considered complete.
