Chapter 1355: The Role of the Cavalry Battalion

Among the generals who entered the high-level of the Haihan military at the beginning of the crossing, Ha Lugong is one of the few people who shows his dew. This is mainly because the troops he commands are too special, and the speed and scale of the army are subject to many restrictions, coupled with the special environment and development route of Haihan, the navy is the main body, and the battle situation faced by the Haihan army has little room for cavalry to play, so he can lead his troops to the battlefield to participate in the battle There are relatively few opportunities, and his combat achievements are naturally far less than other generals who have been leading troops to fight on the front line for a long time.

Of course, Halugong also wanted to train thousands of cavalry troops, and then crisscross the mainland to show their skills, but Hainan Island did not have good pasture conditions, and the cost of domesticating a large number of war horses was extremely high, and in the area controlled by Haihan, the combat missions that cavalry could perform were extremely limited. A considerable number of the cavalry trained by Harugong were eventually dismantled and assigned to various army units as horsemen to deliver military orders, or as travel escorts for dignitaries and high-ranking officials, and the number of soldiers who actually remained in the cavalry battalion was only maintained at more than 200 cavalry.

Such a cavalry scale, even if every soldier is armed to the teeth, is only a small group of elite soldiers, and the role it can play in a relatively large battlefield environment will be very limited. Therefore, every opportunity for cavalry to be dispatched, Harugong cherishes it, hoping to obtain more combat exploits from it, and to apply to the Ministry of Defense for more resources to develop cavalry units.

In the south, there was very little opportunity for organized cavalry to enter the mainland, and it was only after coming to Dengzhou that cavalry began to be dispatched frequently. The terrain in the northern coastal area of Dengzhou was flat, and it was relatively convenient for cavalry to move. It's just that now it's the time of autumn and winter, and it's difficult to get food and grass supplies for horses in nature, and it is necessary to let the transport ships follow along the coastline, which also limits the range of activities of the cavalry.

Ha Lugong told everyone at the meeting that the plan was for the cavalry to come out and make a gesture of feint attack to deter the Ming army in Dengzhou. However, his real idea was actually to take this opportunity to implement this as an unplanned actual combat operation. If he really encountered the Ming army, he would not hesitate to resort to force and teach the Ming army a lesson. All in all, Halugong did not intend to bluff and finish the matter, but wanted to take this opportunity to exercise the actual combat ability of the cavalry under his command again.

After leaving Jijia Town, Ha Lugong did not plan to march along the coastline again, because such a march route was too easy for the Ming army to guess based on the supply problem, so he sent someone to the sea to inform the supply fleet, and after agreeing on the next meeting place, he led the troops to the southwest and entered the inland area. He and the supply fleet each had their own radios, and they exchanged information twice a day to keep in touch, but they didn't have to worry about losing contact completely if they went further inland.

The cavalry battalion carried only a small amount of concentrate, which could last about a day or two for the horses, and although it was a bit risky to do so, Harukon thought that he could find a local supply before he ran out of food. More importantly, this will make it impossible for the Ming army to predict the movements of the Haihan cavalry, and it will have a greater deterrent and diversion effect.

To the southwest from Jijia is a large field field, and forty miles away is another town, Xindian Town. In the past, all of these places were farmland, but after the Denglai Rebellion, a large number of local people fled, and the fields in these places were also abandoned, leaving little people. Although the Haihan cavalry passed by here in broad daylight, it did not attract much attention at all. The cavalry scattered around the perimeter also did not find any traces of the activities of the Ming army.

In fact, as Ha Lugong predicted, when the Ming generals predicted the march route of the Haihan cavalry, they took into account the supply problems faced by the Haihan cavalry when they drove straight into the Ming control area, and also realized the sea supply tactics that the Haihan might adopt, so they deployed the reconnaissance cavalry in the coastal area west of Jijia Town, waiting for the Haihan cavalry to enter this monitoring area.

However, in the course of this confrontation between calculation and counter-calculation, it was Ha Lugong who took the initiative, and his measures to march inland avoided the main reconnaissance direction of the Ming army, and quietly entered the interior.
