Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Watching Li Yunlong perform a Sichuan Opera face-changing performance in front of him, the brigade commander said angrily:

"You kid, can't you be more successful? In your mind, am I just a villain who only exploits my subordinates? Without me protecting you, that big head on your neck would have been moved countless times!"

At this point, he looked at Zhao Gang, and his spring-like smile returned to his face.

"Zhao Gang, I think your work in the New Second Regiment is going very smoothly. I'll leave Li Yunlong to you, please take care of yourself."

In the next half hour, the brigade commander and his staff analyzed the current situation in Jin Province with Li and Zhao, and told them to seize the last period of time to train troops.

Before leaving, Li Yunlong asked in a low voice like a mosquito: "Who is this deputy leader? Don't be a pustule."

The brigade commander walked out of the command post of the New Second Regiment without looking back. After a few seconds, a voice came from outside the house: "Xing Zhiguo."

"Brigadier, walk slowly! Walk slowly! Make arrangements for the radio station and food as soon as possible when you have time~"

Li Yunlong was very happy when he heard the name, and he competed with Bai Jian, a cavalry company.

Zhao Gang next to him looked puzzled. He had never seen Li Yunlong speak so highly of someone, and he had never been so excited even when he mentioned his old comrades Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

After confirming that the brigade commander had left, Commander Li began to explain the reason to his partner.

Although this comrade named Xing Zhiguo was not his old comrade-in-arms in the Fourth Front Army, he had been in the army for as long as he did. In the past, he was a well-known cadre of the First Army, and his qualifications were absolutely nothing to say.

At that time, Li Yunlong's troops got separated from the Fourth Front Army for some reasons. After joining the First Front Army, he briefly worked with Xing Zhiguo for a period of time.

It can be said that this person is a perfect cornerstone cadre. Not only does he have a firm stance, but his military quality is also good, and he can even serve as a political commissar under special circumstances.

Moreover, Xing Zhiguo's military style is relatively stable, and this stability is based on caution. He pays attention to planning before taking action, and may sometimes achieve modest results, but the strength of the troops will surely grow steadily under his leadership.

Li Yunlong, who has a fierce offense, and Xing Zhiguo, who has a solid defense, can perfectly complement each other. Coupled with Zhao Gang, who is extremely good at political work, the leadership team of the new second regiment has no shortcomings.

"Originally, Lao Xing was supposed to be fighting to the death or the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Third Division at this time. He was originally working with Lao Li during the 42-year sweep. But I brought him over in advance to increase the paper strength of the new second regiment."

After communicating with Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong explained today's work arrangements and immediately drove to the new regiment's location.

The last time he approached Ding Wei to recruit people, he forgot to take away Sun Desheng, the only person in the regiment who was capable of training and commanding cavalry. Now that the cavalry equipment was in place, he had to go to a new regiment.

The result of recruiting people this time was still very smooth, but unlike the last time it was free, this time Li Yunlong paid five tricks.

Fortunately, those light machine guns were all captured by Zhao Gang, and the troops were in the process of changing their equipment. After getting the new machine gun, Li Yunlong's vision gradually became higher.

Li Yunlong, who looked unhappy, returned to the station and immediately ordered Sun Desheng to select soldiers with potential to become cavalry from the three battalions.

Sun Desheng was also worthy of the value of these five crooked weapons, and he picked out a company of soldiers in just one afternoon.

The next afternoon, Li Yunlong invited Zhao Gang to visit the training of the cavalry company. When the two arrived at the training ground, they saw Sun Desheng giving a demonstration to the soldiers in the company.

He held an unedged saber, and in front of him were dummy targets made of straw.

Sun Desheng took the lead. Although there were no enemies in front of him, he still made various defensive movements, as if there were several Japanese cavalry fighting with him in front.

When he reached the position of the first dummy, he took advantage of the strong inertia of the horse's sprint to slash the saber in his hand sideways. Even the unedged training knife still cut the dummy in half.

Subsequently, Sun Desheng opened his bow from left to right, beheading the dummies along the way one by one. His honed sword skills made everyone present scream in surprise.

Just when Zhao Gang wanted to step forward to communicate with this fierce general, Li Yunlong winked and pulled him back.

"Don't worry, there are exciting projects ahead. You will make the soldiers nervous if you go up now."

I saw Sun Desheng riding a horse around the field and randomly picking out a soldier. Just cutting the dummy is not enough. To achieve certain training results, you still need to simulate one-on-one actual combat.

The two of them put on wooden swords for training and rode horses to separate the distance, preparing to attack from a distance of 500 meters.

After starting to sprint, it only takes more than ten seconds for the horses to meet at this point.

Unlike the soldiers who served as cavalry on the first day, Sun Desheng was not only fast, but his upper body was also very stable. He held the saber as if it was embedded in the horse's back.

And his eyes were wide with anger. If he were placed on an ancient battlefield, he would definitely be a fierce general who opened up territories.

"kill!"

Sun Desheng faced the new recruits of the cavalry company with an indomitable momentum. When the two sides interacted, he was not in a hurry to take action.

After observing the opponent's posture, he successfully predicted the recruit's attack trajectory, and then used his flexible movements to dodge sideways on horseback, making this seemingly powerful and heavy chop miss.

After doing all this, he turned around and slapped the recruit on the back with the saber in his hand. Although Sun Desheng had saved some strength, he still almost caused the opponent to fall off his horse.

After the sparring session, the grumpy cavalry company commander jumped off his horse and walked menacingly towards the recruits who were sparring with him.

Seeing that the person in front of him looked aggrieved, Sun Desheng became furious and slapped the recruit on the brim of his hat.

"What the hell are you doing for food? How many times have I emphasized the need for momentum when charging. You are as cowardly as a dog. Do you plan to let the little devil see your joke?"

"This is just like sparring with me. If I met the enemy, I would have killed you bastard. How can I teach you a loser?"

After scolding him, he was still a little angry and stretched out his leg to kick the recruit hard in the stomach.

First, he lost to the company commander in a duel, and then he was beaten and scolded by the company commander. If this little warrior hadn't been mentally strong enough, he would have been unable to bear it long ago.

And I can't blame him for this. After all, this is the recruit's first simulated actual combat, not to mention that his opponent is Sun Desheng, who joined the army at the age of twelve.

After Zhao Gang saw this scene, he shook his head very dissatisfied.

This kind of behavior must be stopped because of the nature of the army. The Eighth Route Army is the people's army and naturally cannot attack the people's soldiers. How is it different from veterans bullying new recruits at will?

Zhao Gang pulled Li Yunlong up together. Sun Desheng, who was still cursing at first, saw his two chief officers coming to inspect the work and immediately trotted over.

He put his saber upright on his chest, made a saber salute and said: "Report to the political commissar of the regiment commander that the cavalry company of the new second regiment is undergoing equestrian stabbing training. Please give instructions from the commander."

Looking at the energetic Sun Desheng, although he had some ideological problems, Zhao Gang couldn't help but praise:

"Company Commander Sun, your riding skills are very good. I can see that you have killed many Japanese."

Li Yunlong also saw that his partner was a little dissatisfied, so he took the initiative to take over the conversation and introduced Zhao Gang:

"He used to work in the 69th Army Cavalry Regiment, and he has been following me since then. When he was in the New Regiment, because the army had no horses, he could only be an infantryman. Now he can be regarded as returning to his old profession."

When he heard about the 69th Army, Zhao Gang instinctively frowned.

He naturally hated the traitorous troops. Moreover, this rebellious general also massacred civilians. This kind of killing of people was to his advantage.

Seeing the political commissar's expression, Sun Desheng knew what he was thinking, mainly because he had seen this expression too many times.

"That traitor was kind to me. When I was about to starve to death, he gave me a mouthful of food and took me in."

"But! I, Sun Desheng, will never be a traitor! Since I have become a soldier, I must fulfill my responsibility to protect my family and my country."

"Although I haven't read a book! But I can clearly distinguish between personal grudges and national justice! Besides, I have been injured twice for him in the past few years and I no longer owe him any favors."

These words made Zhao Gang know that the person in front of him was definitely a good soldier who dared to fight and had a strong ideological consciousness.

Originally, he was quite critical of Li Yunlong's substitution of five light machine guns, but now he feels that this deal is still a good deal.

But the more he admired him, the more he had to correct his shortcomings, so Zhao Gang put away his smile and said:

"The sparring just now was very exciting. I also agree with your point of view. It is better to sweat more during training than to bleed on the battlefield. But I saw you beating and scolding the soldiers."

Sun Desheng did not deny what Zhao Gang said. He explained with a very helpless and aggrieved expression:

"Political Commissar, I don't want to be like this, but some soldiers are really stupid. If I don't do something powerful, they won't be able to learn!"

But Zhao Gang was obviously dissatisfied with this explanation. He stretched out his hand to interrupt the other party's words, showing a stern expression that Li Yunlong had never seen before.

"No matter what the reason is, our troops are prohibited from beating or scolding soldiers. That is the style of warlords!"

"We are all comrades with a common goal! This will destroy unity. Aren't you afraid of being shot?"

"What kind of problem are you encountering? We need to do some ideological work for the soldiers! Beating, scolding and corporal punishment will not solve the problem."

As a rough old man who joined the army at the age of twelve, Sun Desheng got a headache when he heard the word ideological work. He repeatedly explained to the two people opposite him that his cultural level was too low.

Although there are literacy classes in the army, he has rarely taken them seriously in recent years, mainly because he had a regimental leader who didn't like to study as an example.

Originally, he thought that the group leader would be on his side, but Li Yunlong was no longer the semi-literate person he used to be.

Although I can't say that I have read a lot of poetry and books, I have no problem reading books and newspapers by myself. With the help of Zhao Gang, his cultural level has now improved by leaps and bounds, almost reaching the level of primary school graduation.

And he knew how to prescribe the right medicine for a situation like Sun Desheng's.

"Let me ask you something, do you think the Japanese motorcycles are more powerful or our cavalry are more powerful?"

Faced with this sudden question, Sun Desheng blurted out without thinking: "I think they are similar, except that they are more durable. Although motorcycles have the advantage in terms of firepower, cavalry is more flexible."

"Then let me ask you, how many cavalry do you think can destroy a Japanese tank?

This problem is indeed a bit difficult. Although tanks were encountered during the Central Plains War, it was not their turn to deal with it at that time.

However, as a veteran with rich combat experience, Sun Desheng believes that if the mobility of the cavalry is properly utilized, destroying a tank within visual range will definitely require the sacrifice of many soldiers.

But the specific situation requires specific analysis. After all, tanks are often surrounded by a large number of infantry for cover.

Seeing that the other party couldn't answer. Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"We all know that the Japanese tanks are powerful, but if one day our new second regiment has a more powerful tank, do you want to drive it?"

This question is yes, Sun Desheng nodded, no one can refuse the charm of that behemoth.

"Then you still don't study? With your current level of education, you won't even be able to understand instructions and tactical manuals. If you don't study, you will be eliminated one day."

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong remembered what Huang He once said to him. He put his hands on the other person's shoulders and looked seriously at the veteran who had followed him for many years.

"I believe your future will not stop at being a small cavalry company commander, come on!"

While the two were talking, Zhao Gang made up his mind.

He has also participated in training and knows that in many cases new recruits are called "new dads". He cannot be beaten or scolded. When a problem arises, he can only do ideological work and persuade him to make corrections in earnest.

In fact, most of the recruits are acceptable at this time, and only a very small number of "new dads" are unable to get in. This situation can be handled according to the regulations.

So he looked at Sun Desheng and said:

"Everyone has self-esteem, and soldiers are no exception. Hitting, scolding, and corporal punishment will only cause internal conflicts. If your starting point is good, then you must work hard to make the recruits feel it."

"But! Although corporal punishment is not allowed, push-ups, sprints, frog jumps, low-profile crawling, etc. are still allowed. If conditions permit, talk to the soldiers more after these trainings."

After saying this, Zhao Gang found Li Yunlong and Sun Desheng looking at him in surprise.

Cultural people are so ruthless.

Come on, come on, I have too much work today and no time to fish during the day.

The new second group has almost been strengthened, and it feels like it has reached the level before the Japanese raids in the drama.

There is one more chapter tonight, I will continue writing
