Chapter 126: Breaking the Wind Mouth

In the evening, the 17th Mixed Brigade issued a rest order for the first time, except for the sentries, all of them rested and did not train, which made the brothers of the 17th Brigade, who had been training hard, very happy. Wang Maoru ate and drank with all the officers, especially introduced the cavalry general given to him by Zhu Qinglan, and now Shang Yuanqing, the commander of the independent cavalry reconnaissance company of the headquarters. Although Shang Yuanqing has followed Zhu Qinglan for many years, he has always spoken straight and has a heavy tone, what to say, Wang Maoru naturally doesn't care, but some officers can't stand this kind of rough people, especially Wang Qiyuan, the commander of the guard battalion, but he stutters, and his face is red when he can't argue.

Wang Maoru asked Shang Yuanqing to introduce some marching and combat habits and skills outside the Guan, Shang Yuanqing took a sip of wine and said in a loud voice: "Heilongjiang Province is vast and sparsely populated, and it is located in a cold land, and the agricultural harvest is poor, so there are very few garrisons. The place is too big, so the army that generally lives in Heilongjiang is mainly cavalry, and there are not many bandits here, compared to Fengtian and Jilin, which is considered less. It's just that there are many rebels, and almost all of the rebels are cavalry, whether it is the rebels of Zongshe, or the rebels of Hulunbuir, or the rebels of the Kulun government, or the bandits of Lao Maozi, if you want to clear the rebels, I am afraid you must establish cavalry. The adult soldiers are mostly infantry, and I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand the cavalry's charge, and ......" he looked around and said, "The general's cavalry is only infantry on horseback, not real cavalry. "Fortunately, the cavalry battalion commander Gong Xiaoqi is not present today, otherwise according to Gong Xiaoqi's temper, he would have to have a duel with him immediately.

The others were also angry enough to hear his words, and the guard battalion commander Wang Qiyuan wanted to refute, but he couldn't say it for a long time, he was a stammer, and he couldn't speak when he was in a hurry, but the officer Zhao Qing argued: "I build a trench, and the front is built with barbed wire, can your cavalry still cross it?" ”

Shang Yuanqing also graduated from the Martial Arts Academy, and he knew about the army, so he sneered: "If my cavalry beats you, will it give you time to repair the trenches and build barbed wire?" He added, "You have built it, I will not fight you, I will bypass your defense zone from other places and hit you from behind." Although this gun can hit 900 meters, the real lethality is only within 350 meters, and the distance that soldiers can hit is 150 meters. One hundred and fifty meters, how many shots can you fire with your rifle? I saw that the soldiers under the brigade commander were all fire refining beads, and their guns were twice as fast as other guns. Even so, the 150-meter cavalry horses are running at full speed, and it will arrive in more than 20 seconds, how many shots can you shoot? Even if the fire refining bead is fast, no matter how strict your training is, you can only use up five bullets. By the time I had reloaded with five bullets, the cavalry knives of my cavalry had already arrived. ”

Zhao Qing corrected: "Our guns are loaded with ten rounds, not five, and ten bullets can't kill you?" ”

"Are you dreaming, you can shoot ten shots in twenty seconds?" Shang Yuanqing said with a grin, "You shoot at most four shots, and after three shots, you will definitely be killed." If it was made in Hanyang, at most the second shot would be fired, and the third shot would be *dropped before it was fired. Therefore, the cavalry is the king of the field. ”

Zhao Qing, the captain of the engineering corps, argued: "According to what you say, the Mongolian cavalry of our former Qing Dynasty is so powerful, why are they still beaten by Lao Maozi?" ”

Shang Yuanqing said: "That's not because of the gun, it's because of the cannon and the machine gun, if it is an encounter, the machine gun is not installed, and the cannon is not placed, it will definitely be attacked by the cavalry." "Some of the officers did not object, Gong Xiaoqi's cavalry battalion was the 45th Brigade artillery battalion that was raided in this way, and the 45th Brigade artillery battalion that charged down and didn't even take off the gun jacket was served in one pot.

Li Pinxian said on the side: "The lethality of the cavalry is in the repeated impact, not rushing up to entangle, my machine guns are all set up when you are in the second wave of impact." ”

"That is, our cannons are all Hatch Kaiss cannons, if you say that a cavalry still has an advantage in the face of an infantry, but a company of cavalry in the face of our company's infantry, there is no advantage at all." Zhao Qing said.

Shang Yuanqing said: "Who said that I invested all at once? I have a company, you have a company, you defend me, let's drill and drill. ”

"Okay, come on, who is afraid of you." Zhao Qing also folded his sleeves and said, "I still don't believe it, my infantry can't kill you when I encounter your cavalry with only rifles." The two of them played a confrontation between the field cavalry and the infantry on the wine table, plates and chopsticks, and as a result, the cavalry company suffered 20 casualties, and finally the infantry company was completely annihilated. Zhao Qing was very annoyed, but Wang Qiyuan stammered and said: "I'll take our seventeenth mixed brigade, your cavalry-brigade, let's compare-compare-draw." ”

Shang Yuanqing shook his head and stopped, and said: "The blow of the cavalry is sudden, the general's army has artillery, and then prepare in advance, although the cavalry can save you, but I have to suffer too much." Our cavalry has a characteristic, with a smooth mouth, that is, to win, to run, not to win, to run far, to beat you and scream, angry and your liver hurts. That is to say, the cavalry will never attack the opponent's walled city only in a sudden and sudden manner, and will not attack if the opponent's position has too many artillery and machine guns. Cavalry is to trade the smallest casualties for the greatest victory. He bit his finger and said, "The tactics of cavalry are different from those of infantry, do you know wolves?" Outside the gates, who is the most powerful? It's not the Siberian tiger, it's not the black blind (Northeast black bear), it's not the leopard and the golden eagle, it's the wolves. You can't look at them at any time, and by the time you look at them, they've already rushed up. ”

Wang Maoru saw that several people kept debating whether there was a development of infantry or cavalry in order to reorganize the infantry or the cavalry, and he was a little relieved in his heart, these people under him were not wine bags and rice bags, and even Shang Yuanqing, who was proud of his tone between his words, also had a hand. However, this Shang Yuanqing's temper is indeed too stubborn, and his mouth is easy to offend people, but there is no doubt that he is indeed a fierce general. Wang Maoru raised his hand and persuaded everyone: "You guys, arguing is like going to war. Seeing that Wang Maoru spoke, everyone quieted down when they arrived, Shang Yuanqing originally wanted to say, but seeing that everyone was so quiet, he looked at Wang Maoru again, and sat down hurriedly and didn't speak, Wang Maoru smiled and asked: "Brother Yuanqing, why do you only have one company of people in your cavalry?" Aren't you the Overseer's Cavalry Brigade? There must be at least two companies, right? ”

Shang Yuanqing stood up angrily, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he sat down again and said, "It's not Xu Lanzhou's only son thing, saying that the Overseer Guards don't need cavalry, so he only gave the cavalry brigade that was supposed to be a battalion Overseer's Mansion to one company, which is really his grandmother's anger." ”

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "In the future, you will be here with me, do a good job, and I will give you a regiment of cavalry." ”

Shang Yuanqing said: "You don't get angry at me, I don't speak well?" I know I'm a and offending people everywhere. Hearing him laugh at himself, several officers laughed embarrassedly, and Li Pinxian smiled: "Brother Shang has a good mentality." ”

Wang Maoru said: "As long as you follow me, I am a meritocracy, and you will be a great official as much as you have the ability." ”

"Don't worry, we Shandong people have been loyal since ancient times." Shang Yuanqing said, "Brigade Marshal, I, Shang Yuanqing, will follow you in the future." ”

"Hahaha, come and drink, drink." Wang Maoru said with a smile, and all the officers raised their wine glasses and drank them all.
