Chapter 53 Ding Wei Brand Gift Package Received in Advance
"Battalion Commander, Platoon Leader Duan is back and said he has good news."
At the Vanguard Camp, Zhangye entered Qin Yangming's room and shouted to him excitedly.
Behind Zhangye was Duan Peng with a smile on his face.
"Captain, I found a great gift for you!"
Qin Yangming, who had known the whole thing for a long time, pretended to know nothing and said to Duan Peng: "Oh, what big gift did you find? Shinozuka Yoshio's head?"
Duan Peng shook his head and said, "No, Captain, I found a cavalry battalion for you!"
"Cavalry battalion?"
"where?"
"Wanjia Town!"
"When I went out to investigate, I discovered the puppet army's cavalry. I went over and found that the puppet army had actually formed a cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town!"
"I have inquired.
This is from the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Locust Army, which was originally a security regiment of the National Army.
In terms of combat effectiveness, I'm afraid they are not even second-rate. This group of National Army soldiers became more sophisticated after they defected to the Japanese.
We set up a cavalry battalion with nearly 500 war horses."
"They are all good horses, faster than our horses."
"Now all the horses are in Wanjia Town waiting for us to bring them back."
Listening to what Duan Peng said, Qin Yangming took out the map and spread it out.
"Lao Qin, it's less than 30 kilometers away, we can try it."
"If we mobilize the entire battalion, and if we act quickly, we can finish the battle in an hour. Including the round trip, we can be back in half a day at most."
"It will definitely not delay our mission."
Qin Yangming nodded and said, "Well, Lao Zhang, you take the third and sixth companies to guard the house. I will lead the team out and make a quick decision to bring my horse back."
"No problem, Lao Qin, please come back soon."
Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion, this is a rare gift package in Bright Sword.
How could Qin Yangming not know about this? When he first came here to station, Qin Yangming had already thought of this gift package.
After the troops were settled, Duan Peng was sent out to investigate and collect information, saying that he wanted to collect information about the Japanese so that he could start a side business.
In fact, it was for Duan Peng and others to discover the Wanjia Town Cavalry Camp!
As early as in Linyuan County, Qin Yangming wanted to transform his troops into mule and horse troops to increase the marching speed.
However, it was impossible to get so many mules and horses by buying or seizing them, and there were still many donkeys in the army to make up the numbers.
During the retreat, most of these mules, horses and donkeys died of exhaustion and were then slaughtered for meat.
Therefore, the Vanguard Battalion is now extremely short of transportation capabilities, and many weapons and ammunition can only be transported by manpower, which greatly affects the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Therefore, Qin Yangming could only target the cavalry battalion of his own commander.
Rather than having the brigade commander cheat them out of two companies’ horses and equipment, it would be better to take the horses before the brigade commander notices.
If it weren’t for the fact that Shanxi is located at the junction of plateau and plain, with many mountains and complex terrain.
In addition, the Japanese forces here are powerful, so Qin Yangming would have gotten a bunch of trucks and organized the troops into a motorized force.
At first, Qin Yangming wanted to exchange a batch of Type 28 rifles to learn from the Japanese in Southeast Asia and set up a silver-wheeled army.
But there are many mountains in Shanxi, especially in the northwest area where they are now, there is less flat land, and bicycles are not as convenient as horses.
……
Thanks to the good food in the pioneer camp, the soldiers' physical fitness is generally high, and there are a large number of mules and horses to assist.
It took almost two hours for Qin Yangming and his troops to arrive in front of Wanjia Town.
Without much nonsense, Qin Yangming first ordered Duan Peng to destroy the telephone lines near the stronghold.
Then he asked Li Erhu to blow up the defensive fortifications such as artillery towers and bunkers built by the Japanese.
Then the machine gunners suppressed the enemy's firepower, and the infantry quickly charged forward, aiming for a quick victory.
"Pay attention, don't kill my horse by accident!"
"If anyone dares to play tricks on me again, you will all be sent back to the recruit company for three months of training!"
Qin Yangming, considering that someone accidentally killed two cows a few days ago, quickly opened his mouth to warn.
These are military horses, which he keeps for people to ride, not to kill and eat their meat.
Hearing Qin Yangming's shout, many soldiers laughed out loud.
Among them, the happiest one was the "new recruit" who accidentally killed two cows, the third platoon leader of the company.
"Captain, don't worry, I promise I won't be the most careful. What happened two days ago was really just an accident."
"The cows actually dared to eat grass in front of me. That's unacceptable. If they dare to eat grass today, they will eat people tomorrow. You said that such bold animals must be killed, so I killed the two cows. I was just following your orders."
What this platoon leader said was completely learned from Qin Yangming.
When he was at Baihuling, Qin Yangming would go to the logistics department whenever he had time.
Today it's not about the chicken looking a little sick, tomorrow it's about the duck walking unsteadily, or someone is grabbing a sheep and saying that the sheep is staring at him and showing disrespect for him.
In any case, any animal that was pointed out by Qin Yangming would not survive that night.
"Go to hell, you dare to imitate me? Do you believe I'll throw you into the assault platoon and train you for two and a half months?"
Qin Yangming cursed and kicked the opponent in the butt, then ordered his troops to charge.
Within half an hour, all the puppet troops in Wanjia Town were wiped out, and not a single one was left alive.
Everyone took some supplies from Wanjia Town, and then they all retreated quickly on horseback.
Most of the soldiers in the Pioneer Battalion have been trained in horse riding.
The equestrian instructor in the recruit company was Sun Desheng, whom Qin Yangming exchanged for a cannon from Li Yunlong.
He was the company commander of the cavalry company of the independent regiment in the original novel, and now he is the deputy company commander of the recruit company of the vanguard battalion of the new first regiment.
……
"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, you're back. How are you? Is there anything wrong?"
After Qin Yangming led his troops back to the base, he asked Zhangye if anything had happened to the troops during the two hours he was away.
Zhangye looked at Qin Yangming coming back with a bitter look on his face.
He winked at Qin Yangming frantically.
Qin Yangming could tell something was wrong at first glance.
There are three cups with water in them on the table in the living room.
It was obvious that there was someone else in the room.
If she was from the Vanguard Camp, she would definitely avoid me, and Zhangye would not even give me a look.
Zhangye's face was not looking good now, and he was winking at him frantically. Plus, there was someone who could come to his side in such a short time, so there was only one possibility.
"Fuck!"
Qin Yangming turned around and was about to leave the house.
"Little bastard, why are you running?"
A sour voice came from Qin Yangming's room.
Li Yunlong was seen playing with a Browning M1911 pistol that Qin Yangming had kept in the room as a spare.
(There is nothing wrong with calling it Colt M1911. There are many theories. The pistol was designed by Browning and manufactured by Colt. The caliber of the pistol is .
There is also a Browning Hi-Power pistol, which is 9mm, but the information I checked may not be very accurate.)
"No, Captain, why didn't you tell me you were coming? Wait a minute, I have a bottle of Fenjiu here, I'll ask the kitchen staff to prepare two dishes."
Qin Yangming's heart skipped a beat when he looked at Li Yunlong's appearance.
I didn’t expect that the cavalry battalion was not robbed by the brigade commander, but now it is probably going to be robbed by the regiment commander.
as predicted.
Li Yunlong put the gun in his hand directly into his pocket and said pretentiously: "No need, I just came here to check the situation of the troops."
"Captain Qin, can you explain to me why three companies of your Vanguard Battalion are not stationed?"
"Coach Zhang told me that you took them out for training?
What kind of training lasts more than two hours and isn’t even close.”
"Where did you go to train? Come on, tell me."
"No, Captain, that's how you play, right?"
"Be serious, be serious. I'm asking you a question now, not me."
"Captain, you have to think it through. The brigade commander hasn't left yet."
Li Yunlong reacted instantly after hearing Qin Yangming's words.
"Ahem, sorry, I almost forgot."
Li Yunlong really came to check the training situation of the Vanguard Battalion and delivered information at the same time.
I didn't expect that when I came here, I found that Qin Yangming was not there.
Zhangye said that Qin Yangming took the troops out for training, but Li Yunlong didn't believe it at all.
He had used this trick before and was trying to deceive him. It was obvious that Qin Yangming had gone out to do a side job.
Seeing the circled Wanjia Town on the map on the table, and learning that Qin Yangming had led three companies, almost a battalion of troops, out.
Li Yunlong was also somewhat curious about what Qin Yangming was going to do and why he brought so many troops with him.
