Chapter 36 It's a coincidence

Yang Village, the headquarters of the independent regiment.
The cavalry company has begun training.
However, no grouping has been done yet.
The platoon and squad structures had not yet been established.
Because it is difficult to select squad leaders for a cavalry company.
The 128 veterans of the cavalry company are all veterans who have experienced many battles.
But for Sun Desheng, there was basically no difference between these old soldiers and the new recruits, because none of them had served in cavalry, and they all had to be trained from scratch.
The requirements for cavalry are extremely stringent.
The first important one is the equestrian stab.
The most important means of killing the enemy by cavalry is stabbing and piercing. If one is not good at horsemanship and stabbing, he is not a real cavalryman, but at best a mounted infantryman.
But equestrian sprinting is not that easy to practice.
At the beginning, you cannot use a real sword, and you cannot practice directly on horseback.
Sun Desheng borrowed a dozen logs from a fellow villager, padded them up with bricks to secure them, and let the veterans of the cavalry company ride on the logs to practice equestrian splitting and stabbing movements.
Now the old soldier is not happy.
Who are you bullying? It's not like you don't have any horses.
A few troublemakers immediately started shouting.
Sun Desheng also had a bad temper. Seeing this, he didn't say much. He walked up to the troublemaker who was shouting the loudest and started whipping him in the face.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang happened to see this scene when they walked over.
A few troublemakers were completely subdued by Sun Desheng, but Zhao Gang refused to agree.
"Captain Sun." Zhao Gang said with a dark face, "Come here! I have something to tell you."
Although Zhao Gang was very angry, he still gave Sun Desheng face and did not criticize him in public.
Sun Desheng didn't know he had done anything wrong, so he trotted over, holding his sword in his hand and standing at attention: "Commissar, the cavalry company is currently training in horsemanship, stabbing and stabbing. Please give us your instructions, cavalry company commander Sun Desheng."
"Equestrian stab training?" Li Yunlong asked with a smile, "Is this wooden horse stab training?"
Sun Desheng said, "Captain, you don't know that these guys have never been cavalrymen. If you let them mount horses directly, it will not only hurt the horses during training, but it may also damage the quality of the horses."
Li Yunlong asked curiously, "I can understand if you hurt the horse, but what about if you ruin the quality of the warhorse?"
Sun Desheng said: "Captain, the war horses of our cavalry company are all well-trained military horses, especially those Japanese horses, which are first-class military horses, better than the war horses of the 69th Army."
"Of course." Li Yunlong said proudly, "This is a real military horse. Our independent regiment took great pains to capture it from the hands of the Japanese puppet army."
After a pause, he continued, "But how did you figure that out?"
"Commissar, look." Sun Desheng pointed to the stable and said, "Military horses always hold their heads high, even when they sleep. They only lower their heads when they eat, and they never eat horse feed outside the trough. This is the biggest difference between military horses and livestock."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang turned their heads to look, and indeed, all the military horses had their heads held high.
Sun Desheng added: "I have already salmon-marched all the horses in our cavalry company. They are all well trained, so I will never let these guys get on the horses easily. Before they have mastered the basic principles of horsemanship, piercing and stabbing, and before they are ready to become real cavalrymen, I will not let them get on the horses for training."
Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Old Zhao, this is what an expert does. You and I don't understand this."
Zhao Gang's expression also improved a little, but he still said seriously: "Captain Sun, you must master the training standards. Beating, scolding and corporal punishment of soldiers are absolutely not allowed."
Sun Desheng frowned and said, "But Political Commissar, some soldiers just deserve to be beaten."
"We can't fight them either." Zhao Gang said, "We can do ideological work."
"Do ideological work?" Sun Desheng was confused. "We don't know how to do that?"
"You don't know how to do ideological work, right? I'll teach you how to do it." Li Yunlong said unhappily, "When you meet someone who is disobedient or lazy, just tell him, 'Brother, please, I'm kneeling down for you, okay?"
"Ah?" Sun Desheng was completely confused, and Zhao Gang also looked embarrassed.
Zhao Gang no longer insisted on his own opinion and whispered, "You decide the scale yourself."
"Yes." Sun Desheng responded, but he was still confused and went back to training in shame.
Li Yunlong waited for Zhao Gang to catch up before he said, " Old Zhao, the regulations are dead, but people are alive. For the cavalry company, the most important thing is to form combat effectiveness within three months. Nothing else matters, right?"
Zhao Gang nodded silently and said, "Captain, can you please stop calling me Lao Zhao? I'm only 26 years old and I'm not worthy of the title Lao Zhao."
"If I don't call you Lao Zhao, what should I call you?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "How about I call you Xiao Zhao?"
Zhao Gang thought to himself, Xiao Zhao is even worse, he makes me seem like my subordinate.
Zhao Gang said unhappily, "Forget it, then you should just call me Lao Zhao, and I will call you Lao Li."
"No problem. I'm older than you, so it's most appropriate for you to call me Lao Li." Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Lao Zhao, you're right to think so. This is a war era. The Japanese won't give us the opportunity to train our soldiers slowly, so we must do everything we can to train our soldiers in the shortest possible time."
"To achieve this goal, we need to break through the scale a little bit,"
"If you make a small mistake, there's nothing to say."
"It doesn't matter even if the brigade commander or division commander finds out."
"I, Li Yunlong, am not bragging. The brigade commander doesn't dare to punish me for this..."
Just as he was talking happily, a rough voice rang out: "Li Yunlong, I dare not punish you for anything."
Li Yunlong was startled when he heard this, and when he looked up quickly, he saw two riders parked under a tree not far ahead. The rider in the lead was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses. Who else could it be but the brigade commander?
"Hey, Brigade Commander." Li Yunlong immediately forced a smile on his face and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Don't worry about where I go." The brigade commander waved his hand and said with a dark face, "Explain to me clearly what you just said. I dare not punish you for any of it. Okay?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Commander, I was just joking with the political commissar."
Zhao Gang saluted and said, "Commander, Lao Li is discussing the issue of troop training with me. Although there are some differences in methods and approaches, the overall purpose is the same. We both believe that we should adhere to principles during wartime, but we should not be rigid and inflexible, otherwise it will become dogmatism."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes," Li Yunlong said repeatedly, "Dogmatism."
The brigade commander's expression finally eased, and he continued, "I went to the Third Division to inspect the work this time. I happened to pass by Yang Village and came to see your independent regiment. Li Yunlong, you won't be unwelcome, right?"
"How can that be possible?" Li Yunlong said hurriedly, "Of course we welcome you to come, Brigade Commander."
"Really?" The brigade commander laughed, "Aren't you afraid that I will rob you?"
Li Yunlong's face trembled twice, and he smiled reluctantly: "Our independent regiment is already very poor, and we don't have anything we want. If you think anything is good, just take it."
"Li Yunlong, you said that." The brigade commander laughed, "Then I want to ask you for someone, Wang Ye."
Li Yunlong immediately slapped himself in the face and said, "Brigade Commander, I'm talking about supplies. You can take whatever supplies you like, but equipment and people are not included."
"You kid, I know you can't bear to leave."
The brigade commander smiled and said, "Okay, I won't fight you for the people, but it's not too much to treat me to a lunch, right? I heard that your independent regiment just killed a horse and we have horse meat to eat."
"Oh, Commander, if you want to take advantage of me, just say so. You scared me just now."
Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "But there is really no horse meat or anything like that, only cabbage and potatoes."
"Isn't that right?" the brigade commander said unhappily, "I just heard from the soldiers that they killed a horse yesterday, and they finished eating it in just one day?"
"Commander, those are all rumors."
Li Yunlong said: "Horses are so precious, how can we kill them just for meat?"
While speaking, Li Yunlong winked at the guard Xiao Zhang, asking him to quickly return to the regiment headquarters to inform Lao Wang to hide the horse meat and horse intestines hanging in the yard .
Xiao Zhang understood and left quietly.
When Li Yunlong was feeling proud, a few horse neighs suddenly sounded in the distance.
When I looked back, I saw the Wolf Warriors team leading a dozen war horses, walking happily into the village.
Li Yunlong made a rough count and found that there were actually seventeen horses in total. Li Yunlong was immediately beaming with joy. Did the Wolf Warriors make a fortune again?
But soon, Li Yunlong's face fell again.
Because Li Yunlong discovered that there was meat on the horse's back.
Even a blind person could see the pieces of horse flesh.
The brigade commander immediately laughed and asked, "Li Yunlong, didn't you say there was no meat?"
Li Yunlong had no way to deny it now, and could only say helplessly: "Brigade Commander, this is just a coincidence. I didn't know Xiao Wang could bring back horse meat today."
