The 15th Ranger Regiment was expanded from several Ranger companies in the beginning.

The previous decommissioning was carried out in ordinary infantry units, such as artillery, cavalry, scouts, rangers, and so on.

As the highest-ranked, senior, and most meritorious officer among the rangers, Zhao Qingyu deservedly became the commander of the 15th Ranger Regiment.

Of course, the regimental level is not a tactical establishment of the Chinese Army, but an administrative establishment, so Zhao Qingyu served as the commander of the regiment at the same time, and concurrently served as the commander of the battalion below.

Originally, according to the rules, he was supposed to be the battalion commander of the 15th Battalion of the 15th Regiment.

However, Zhao Qingyu believed that the strength of the newly formed 1502 Battalion was weak and needed to strengthen training and guidance, so he made a report and transferred to the 1502 Battalion.

This time, the 1502 battalion that came to support the Tashan blockade was led by Zhao Qingyu, the commander of the 15th Regiment and the commander of the 1502 battalion.

As the highest-ranking officer present, after Zhao Qingyu arrived, he took over the command as a matter of course.

With the arrival of the 15th Battalion of the 15th Ranger Regiment, the Tower Hill Line has been strengthened by more than 500 veterans who carry the latest weapons in the kingdom and have experienced many battles.

At the same time, the 1502 battalion also brought a light 40mm infantry gun improved from the Navy's 40mm direct-fire gun.

The commander of the 1601 battalion patted the infantry gun that had just been unloaded from the war horse and was broken into four parts, and said with emotion, "Artillery is the god of war, this is not wrong at all, when we fought before, let alone have such a 40mm caliber infantry gun, even if it is a short-barreled smoothbore mountain gun with 1 projectile and 0 catties of projectiles, the situation will definitely not become as bad as it is now." ”

Zhao Qingyu, the head of the 15th regiment, walked over with his lunch box and sucked noodles and teased, "Yo, what's wrong?" Hit on? When you were conducting surprise attacks in the Wa Kingdom before, didn't you always say that you were a fast mobile unit and didn't need artillery? ”

The commander of the 1601 battalion is upright: "Good sir." After the salute was finished, he was a little embarrassed and said, "Sir, this is not inexperienced before."

When we were in the Wa Kingdom, we came and went like the wind along the way, like entering a no-man's land, whether it was raiding their shipyards, blowing up ore veins and potholes, or attacking grain-producing areas, it was all captured by hand, and there was no big obstacle.

Who would have thought that when we were fighting positional warfare, in the face of Houjin, who was still rubbed and beaten by us on the ground last year, a random heavy smoothbore gun would make a mess for one of our battalions. ”

After Zhao Qingyu took a bite of noodles with garlic, he said narrowly, "Do you think the artillery is talking about playing?" In the past, with the cooperation of the intelligence department, we tried our best to avoid the cities where the Japanese had arranged heavy artillery.

Once it comes to positional warfare with head-to-head hard steel, the situation is completely different.

Now, have you learned your lesson? ”

The commander of the 1601 battalion nodded quickly, "I have really learned a lesson." Thanks to the medicines and medical equipment you brought with you, my comrades-in-arms were able to survive to the greatest extent possible. ”

Zhao Qingyu nodded, "It's all one family, don't talk about two families."

Now that you've learned your lesson, remember it.

Alright, let your men hurry up and recuperate, and when we have finished our supper and fed the horses, we will launch a surprise attack and drive the enemy back into the mountains before it gets dark. ”

The commander of the 1601 battalion excitedly said, "Yes." It's finally time to fight back, and the fighters are holding their breath, and you'll see. ”

After that, he went to arrange it in a hurry.

And Zhao Qingyu also finished the dinner in his lunch box and immediately went to take care of his war horse.

In order to support Tashan as quickly as possible, the 1502 battalion did not have the slightest pity for horsepower along the way, and in two hours, it ran a distance of 60 kilometers, which was almost the limit of war horses.

When they first arrived here, they were afraid that the war horses would suffer from indigestion after strenuous exercise, so they didn't dare to feed the horses directly.

After resting for a while, the time was almost up, and the soldiers of the second battalion of the rangers were busy with handfuls of fine materials, buckets of cool white open, and ready to go.

From time to time, the warriors secretly took out a piece of sweets from their pockets that they were usually completely reluctant to eat, and secretly fed them to their war horses.

In the Huaxia Army, because of the different combat methods, elite troops like the rangers, who often go deep behind enemy lines to fight, have very great combat pressure.

Sweets can increase happiness, and these sweets distributed in the army are special benefits set up to relieve the combat pressure of soldiers.

The value of sweets in this era is very high, selling sugar is a more profitable business than selling salt, and there have been countless battles in the world for sugar.

The kingdom distributes sweets to the troops below, just to relieve the pressure on the soldiers, and the sweets distributed from time to time are all costly.

Therefore, according to the regulations, these sweets cannot be transferred, and there are special military judges to supervise the soldiers to eat the sweets that are distributed.

However, the implementation of this military regulation is not thorough.

This military regulation is the only one in the army that is violated by the people below.

It's just because, the comrades-in-arms who fought alongside them - war horses are very fond of sweets.

Soldiers would rather violate the military rules that have always been enshrined as the golden rule, accept the punishment of their superiors, delay the promotion time, and leave the most delicious snack for their closest comrades-in-arms who cannot speak.

Whenever the war horses squint their eyes and happily enjoy sweets, it is also the happiest moment for the warriors.

And those officers who usually find fault with every tactical move, at this time, will also pretend to be transparent people and have no sense of existence.

Moreover, because the officers' benefits were better and their share of sweets was greater, their horses enjoyed more often than the soldiers.

As for the problem of battlefield pressure, as a few years ago, the soldiers of the Ranger unit who could not eat all day and constantly tried to take their families alive said:

"Huh."

"What the hell is that?"

"Zizi, the king treats us as pampered young master soldiers of big families."

Well, in this matter, Chen Xin is really a little worried, and the soldiers under him are not so fragile.

Originally, everyone was going to report this matter to Chen Xinda to explain, but whenever the officers, sergeants, and soldiers looked at their war horses and ate sweets with a look of enjoyment, this idea was immediately thrown out of the clouds.

So, for a long time, this matter has become a tacit little secret between the grassroots below.

Zhao Qingyu also quietly fed his war horse today's ration of sweets, and looked around.

Looking at the expressions of the soldiers under his command who watched their war horses eat sweets, he kept smirking, and gently covered his eyes, "It's too unproductive, it's too embarrassing, and there are friendly troops around you, why don't you know convergence and convergence." ”

After chattering a few words softly and putting down his hand, Zhao Qingyu found that the situation had not changed, and his eyelids twitched.

"What are you doing standing there with a bunch of embarrassing calves, wooden people, it's getting dark, no more fighting?"

If there are fellow villagers here, they will definitely sigh that a shy literati who grew up reading the Four Books and the Five Classics since he was a child and spoke softly has completely become a rough man who can't speak well if he doesn't scold people after 6 years in the army.

The impact of the environment on people is really great!
