Although the Northwest Army belongs to the all-force cavalry unit, even the infantry units of the field division are now equipped with war horses. It's just that they don't belong to pure cavalry units, but infantry units on horseback, and war horses are more for the purpose of increasing the marching speed of the troops.

The real cavalry units in the Far East were mainly established by the Mongol Legion and the Outer Northeast Indigenous Corps, and the Mongol Legion was still the traditional light cavalry of this era, using rapid mobility to carry out a series of tactics such as large-scale penetration, division, and encirclement. Long-distance rushing and rapid marching, attacking the east and west, often appear unexpectedly in the weak parts of the enemy's army, and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Most of them used kite-flying tactics, taking advantage of the good endurance of Mongolian horses, weakening the enemy's living forces until they collapsed, and then encircled and annihilated them. Back then, Genghis Khan used this "shameless" tactic to make several expeditions to the west in Europe, West Asia and other regions, and many copies, such as West Asian warriors, European knights, and bosses of all sizes, that is to see who kills whom.

The Outer Northeast Indigenous Legion has some assault cavalry, and if the Mongols are a people on horseback, then the Outer Northeast Native Legion is a natural hunter. Under the extremely harsh natural conditions of the Northeast and the Outer Northeast, they live by fishing and hunting all year round, and they have not only practiced accurate archery skills, but also have strong fighting ability and strong individual combat ability.

Although the indigenous cavalry of the Outer Northeast is not like the Mongols, they are a people born on horseback, but their frontal assault ability is incomparable to that of the Mongols, and they are a heavy infantry when they dismount, and they are good at attacking cities and plundering land, charging and killing the enemy.

The main reason why the Far Eastern Army wants to build its own cavalry force is that in the future, the north of the Far East will have a vast territory, especially the steppe zone, which will have the conditions for the large-scale use of cavalry.

The main advantage of the cavalry was mobility. Strategically, higher mobility meant that the cavalry had the initiative to fight and could choose the most advantageous time and place to engage. Tactically. Cavalry can use its high mobility to attack the flanks and rear of the infantry, and it takes a lot of work for the infantry to stop such an attack, and if the defenses are not in place, it can be a disaster.

The cavalry in the era of cold weapons is equivalent to the current armored tank troops, and in the era of cold weapons, cavalry units have always been the most effective type of troops. Even in modern society, it cannot be said that the cavalry has declined. Rather, the cavalry's mounts changed from war horses to a large number of tanks and armored vehicles. In Guderian's blitzkrieg back then, many tactics had the shadow of ancient cavalry tactics.

The newly formed cavalry divisions in the Far East not only have the powerful firepower of modern mounted infantry, but can dismount and construct positions to fight when carrying out blocking tasks, and also have the capabilities of traditional cavalry frontal assault, roundabout encirclement, pursuit, and rush.

In this era, the Far Eastern Cavalry Division can be said to be the most powerful assault force, and they are also the main assault force of the Far Eastern Company in the Central Plains in the future.

"Didi...... Tick ......"

A military horn sounded. Zhao Lianhe let out a sigh of relief, and today's march was finally over. The other officers and soldiers in the queue were also very tired, and a few days of marching was definitely a severe test for everyone.

Zhao Lianhe got off the war horse with difficulty, because his legs were numb, so he sat on the ground with his buttocks. Fortunately, the squad leader next to him helped him, so he didn't let him look foreign.

"The ministries are stepping up the construction of camps. Detachments sent alert units to patrol the perimeter......"

Several brigade headquarters signal corps, riding war horses, galloped in front of and behind the queue. Loudly conveyed the orders of the brigade headquarters. The newly built cavalry division of the Far Eastern Army has been trained for more than a year, and long-distance training is also often carried out, and the work of marching, camping, and guarding has long been accustomed to it.

This time, the cavalry brigade where Zhao Lianhe was located, in order to keep up with the marching speed of the main force, marched at high intensity for several days in a row. At present, the troops are almost at the limit. Although I had also conducted long-distance training before, it could not be compared with this march at all.

Zhao Lianhe and his comrades-in-arms first handed over the war horses to the Mongolian militia accompanying the army, who were Mongolian herdsmen drawn from various nomadic detachments and were specially responsible for taking care of the troops' war horses.

In addition to the herdsmen who took care of the war horses, the army also requisitioned a large number of herdsmen. Logistics baggage detachments were formed for the troops. It is not only responsible for logistics and transportation, but also undertakes all kinds of miscellaneous items of the troops in peacetime, and assists the engineering units in building camps, renovating fortifications, repairing bridges and paving roads, etc. Each unit is equipped with a certain number of veterinarians, who are specially responsible for treating the injuries and illnesses of the troops' war horses.

The engineer unit led a large number of Mongolian herdsmen driving field wagons to fence off a place by the river and set up a field camp.

Mongolian herders removed various standard structures for the construction of fences, watchtowers, temporary storage centers, etc., from field wagons, and were able to complete the construction of several camps in a very short time.

For example, the fence of the camp is designed as a standard component, which is very easy to retract and put away, and can be directly transported by horse-drawn carriage when rolled up. The same is true for simple storage centers, which can be quickly assembled in any field environment.

Each new cavalry division has three brigades, each with a brigade headquarters and direct battalions, as well as six cavalry battalions. This time, a logistics brigade equipped with nearly 1,000 field wagons was temporarily formed to follow the troops all the way.

In addition, the rear of each unit was followed by several nomadic detachments, driving a large number of cattle and sheep, and advancing closely with the pace of the main force. It can not only provide logistical supplies for the troops, but also replenish war horses, and when necessary, even mobilize young and strong people to assist the main force in combat.

The huge cavalry units of the three corps of the Far Eastern Army, each divided into several lines of troops and horses, advanced several hundred miles in a few days. The assault troops in all directions of attack were several main Mongolian cavalry divisions, and they rushed frantically for nearly a thousand miles.

The Air Force Department has almost all the airship units in various places, and more than 300 airships are floating in the sky over the entire theater. It continuously provides aerial reconnaissance, battlefield vigilance, target designation, and communication relay support for ground forces in all directions.

The various special operations squads that had infiltrated deep into the enemy's territory had all landed and were waiting for an opportunity to move, preparing to carry out decapitation tactics and snipe the leaders of the Mongolian departments.

The Far Eastern Army has modern means of communication and a powerful aerial reconnaissance capability, and although the theater is located in the vast northern steppe, it is under the command and control of the theater command.

The Northwest Field Army Command and the three corps headquarters are currently directing operations from airships in the air. They are all on a Type 39A large eight-engine airship, equipped with an experienced staff team and advanced communications equipment, and can command troops in various attack directions to fight at any time according to the information transmitted back from the battlefield in a timely manner.
