Cavalry regiment?

hear the word.

Li Yunlong's eyes burst out with a fiery light.

Immediately he shook his head, he wanted to start a cavalry regiment.

A cavalry regiment must have at least 600 horses.

Each military horse needs about 5 kilograms of concentrated feed and about 12 kilograms of fodder every day.

600 military horses require 3,000 kilograms of grain and 7,200 kilograms of fodder every day, which the independent regiment at this stage simply cannot afford.

The money and food spent on raising one cavalry regiment is enough to support two or three infantry regiments.

At this time, the entire 129th Division only had one cavalry regiment.

However, an independent regiment can still support a cavalry battalion of 200 to 300 cavalry.

"I would like to build a cavalry regiment, but we can't afford it." Li Yunlong said, "Besides, even if we can afford it, can the brigade commander allow me to create a cavalry regiment?"

This is true. If Li Yunlong had 600 military horses, the brigade commander could ask him to send 500 horses to the brigade headquarters.

Wei Dayong smiled and said: "We can't afford it now, but we will certainly be able to afford it in the future."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong's face suddenly showed an expression like "I haven't read the book, you kid, don't lie to me."

"Let's not talk about it for now. Let's keep our feet on the ground and not daydream." Then, Li Yunlong asked: "Monk, how about it? Can you restore the terrain?"

Wei Dayong grinned and pointed at his head: "It's all in my head."

The person who is most concerned about this matter is Sun Desheng. He is the highest ranking officer of the Independent Regiment Cavalry. If there is a cavalry regiment, he must be the highest military commander of the Independent Regiment.

Of course, even if there are more than 600 troops and horses, it cannot be called a cavalry regiment, because the independent regiment is a regiment-level organization, and at most it is called a cavalry battalion. But when it comes to that size, what Sun De defeated was still the day of the regiment commander.

Wei Dayong also knew that the independent regiment was now close to the brigade and division headquarters, and most of the benefits captured had to be handed over.

However, when the Independent Regiment reaches northwestern Shanxi in the future, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky will be high for birds to fly.

By that time, the independent regiment was stationed two to three hundred kilometers away from the brigade and division headquarters, and the captured items could not be handed over even if they wanted to.

In the original drama, after the independent troupe moved from southeastern Shanxi to northwest Shanxi, it grew from more than 500 people to more than 7,000 people in one year.

The development speed is comparable to that of a rocket, and even Chu Yunfei was shocked.

By then, it will not be difficult for the independent regiment to build a regiment-sized cavalry unit.

Of course, if you want to achieve this goal, you must first let the cavalry company survive the great raids in 1942.

The best way is to first kill the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, which poses the greatest threat to the cavalry company during the sweep.

Now, the time is ripe to kill the Black Island Cavalry Regiment.

After dinner, Wei Dayong rode back to Lijiacun.

After a good night's sleep, I woke up early the next morning feeling energetic.

After breakfast, Wei Dayong gathered 15 carefully selected heavy machine gunners at the back mountain training ground.

These 15 people are the heavy machine gunners who want to operate the Min-24 heavy machine gun, and their heavy machine gun skills are all at the [Legendary] level without exception.

They are all veterans in the camp, most of them were rescued from the prisoner-of-war camp by Wei Dayong. The machine gunners in the company operate the Type 92 heavy machine gun, and their marksmanship is tricky and fierce.

"Today, let me show you something new."

Standing on the training ground in the back mountain, in front of Wei Dayong stood 15 heavy machine gunners.

"What the hell?" asked a machine gunner named Xie Zhiguo.

"What the hell?" Wei Dayong said, "Don't drool when you see him later. If you have poor self-control, prepare a handkerchief. I'm going to scold you when your drool gets on your uniform."

"Batalion Commander, please stop being so pretentious and tell us directly." Xie Zhiguo asked with a smile, and the other heavy machine gunners also looked expectantly.

"Today, our task is to practice target and get familiar with using the new heavy machine gun."

"This kind of heavy machine gun is different from the Type 92 heavy machine gun we captured. It has more powerful firepower and longer-lasting output than the Type 92 heavy machine gun."

Wei Dayong looked behind the group of heavy machine gunners and saw dozens of soldiers walking up from the mountain carrying Min-24 heavy machine guns.

Last night, Li Yunlong sent a security platoon to secretly deliver the Min-24 heavy machine gun to Lijiacun so that the heavy machine gunners of the special operations battalion could learn to use it.

After all, most of these heavy machine gunners have never used this type of heavy machine gun. They must first be familiar with how to use it and how to quickly solve problems such as jamming.

Seeing more than a dozen identical Min-24 heavy machine guns, the heavy machine gunners' eyes widened. Where did they get so many heavy machine guns?

However, Xie Zhiguo said: "Batalion Commander, what's so strange about this? Isn't it a Type 24 heavy machine gun?"

"Yes, this is the Min-25 heavy machine gun." Wei Dayong said, "Xie Zhiguo, have you ever used it?"

Xie Zhiguo said: "I used to work in the Central Military Commission with this weapon. I am more familiar with it than my wife. I can hit someone from 500 meters away with my eyes closed."

When a soldier said: "Xie Zhiguo, you have been single for more than 20 years, where did you get your wife?"

As expected, the soldiers burst into laughter.

"Get out!" Xie Zhiguo was very thick-skinned and didn't care at all.

However, Xie Zhiguo couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he looked at these civilian 24 heavy machine guns.

The soldiers placed 15 Min-24 heavy machine guns in the open space, lined up in a row, and pointed the black muzzles at the target.

Later, soldiers from behind brought water and bullets, opened the cover, filled the barrel with water, and then pressed the bullet chain into the barrel of the gun.

"Each person can shoot a hundred rounds of training ammunition. Your task is to master the usage skills of the Min-24 heavy machine gun in the shortest possible time!"

"Next, there will be a time for you to show off your skills!"

"If anyone loses his chain, I will skin him!"

"Now, you can shoot freely!"

A group of machine gunners could not wait any longer. After hearing Wei Dayong's order, they quickly ran towards the Min-24 heavy machine gun.

Wei Dayong stretched out his hand and pulled Xie Zhiguo behind him: "Xie Zhiguo, step back and let me have a taste first."

Xie Zhiguo: "..."

"What are you doing standing around? Come and be my assistant shooter." Wei Dayong glanced at the confused Xie Zhiguo behind him and told you to act cool.

"Yes." Xie Zhiguo did not dare to disobey the battalion commander's order. He squatted next to the Min-24 heavy machine gun and held up the metal bullet chain with both hands.

Wei Dayong pulled the safety, then pressed the iron, and the gun body suddenly shook and twitched.

"Chew gnaw gnaw gnaw gnaw gnaw gnaw..."

The sound of the gun is not the "click-click" sound of the Czech or Type 92 heavy machine guns.

It's a bit like the sound of an old tractor motor.

Accompanied by a series of rapid sounds, bullets were shot from the muzzle of the gun as if they were free, hitting the target with sand and rocks flying.

Other heavy machine guns also began to roar, sounding like exploding beans, ringing continuously.

15 tongues of fire spurted out, sprinkling barrage after barrage.

The feeling of pleasure is always short-lived. It only lasts for about ten seconds, and the 100-round ammunition chain is exhausted.

However, Wei Dayong looked extremely satisfied.

This is the correct way to open a heavy machine gun.
