The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 141 The Real Cavalry
Li Yunlong was delighted to get the No.1 best result in the class that afternoon.

... "Written like this?"

"No, Lao Li, what do you think you did? Did you study hard? I have taught you this word more than ten times, right? Why is it still wrong? Remember the radical on the left, and add one more, Is it that difficult?"

In the regiment headquarters, the teacher Zhao Gang just barely mentioned it.

Lao Li was also a little uncomfortable by being bullied. If it weren't for the fact that his good grades at No. 1 always stimulated his bloody spirit of not admitting defeat, he would have quit by now.

"Old Zhao, my handwriting is harder than fighting a war. Do you think I am not a material for learning culture at all?"

Li Yunlong was a little bit worried.

Zhao Gang sighed, and it was rare for Li Yunlong to be more modest. He turned to comfort and said, "Old Li, what are you talking about? You can command the soldiers of the whole regiment to win battles one after another? This is enough to show that your brain is better than anyone else's." You are smart, as long as you are willing to study hard, you will be able to learn well. Also, your current attitude towards learning has improved a lot compared to before."

Li Yunlong nodded, "Damn it, I don't believe in this evil yet. Keep practicing. I've already blown it out. Our old Li must learn some culture."

"...Old Zhao, you must write correctly this time, right?"

"That's right, that's how it was written, Lao Li, take a look, you can do it!"

"Haha, I knew that old Li was a genius. Old Zhao, tell me, at my rate of progress, will I be able to take the first place in the class soon?"

Zhao Gang: "..."

"Old Li, Lao Kong said that in the morning, let's go to the cavalry company to see the training of the cavalry. This study also needs to be a combination of work and rest. Learn when you should learn, and relax when you should relax. Why don't we go and have a look? "

"Say early!"

Li Yunlong threw away the pen and paper in his hand, and quickly jumped off the bed.

Zhao Gang secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

The question that Old Li asked abruptly just now is really difficult to answer.

There is an answer in my heart. According to the speed of your progress, Lao Li, you will not be the last one, but if you are the first in the class... let's go to sleep!
The training ground of the cavalry company is a very spacious place, hundreds of meters long and tens of meters wide. Feed the livestock.

It was not yet July, and the rice field was empty, which was just right for the cavalry company to train.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Zhao Gang came together to inspect the daily training of the cavalry company in the rice field.

When the three arrived, the cavalry company was training on the rice field under the command of Sun Desheng.

Kong Jie looked at the horses galloping back and forth on the large rectangular rice field, as well as the soldiers doing various equestrian moves on horseback, and introduced: "Old Zhao, look at these horses, they came from Wanjia Town It was seized by the puppet army in Wanjia Town. The puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town is really unlucky. It was hard to pull out this cavalry team. In the end, we didn't get any results from the training. The Independence Regiment was robbed."

"These horses in the puppet army's hands are of good quality, much better than the thin, stamina-poor war horses our team used to have."

"Look at the standard equipment of the puppet cavalry for one man and one horse when our soldiers are training. Except for not wearing the uniform of the puppet cavalry, it basically restores the standard equipment of the puppet cavalry in Wanjia Town. Reins, sabers, carbines, and the like."

"Such a cavalry unit can feel powerful just from its aura. If it can be successfully trained and combined with appropriate cavalry tactics, it will definitely have a miraculous effect."

Seeing that Kong Jie was talking, his eyes were almost green, Li Yunlong quickly reminded: "Old Kong, you boy, don't think about my cavalry company."

Kong Jie said: "Who cares, Lao Li, just wait and see, I will bring a cavalry back for you to see in a short time, the horses will be stronger than yours, and the equipment will be better than yours. What compares to me?"

Li Yunlong thought that Kong Jie was a broken pot, so he tried his best to save face, and said happily, "Old Kong, just blow it up, you are treating chickens as phoenixes, and you think the yard is full of them? How can war horses be so easy to capture?" What? If it wasn’t for the great luck this time, the cavalry company in front of us would be beyond my wildest dreams.”

Kong Jie snorted, too lazy to talk to Li Yunlong.

As long as the villain succeeds, let's play it first!
I will tell you, a Japanese cavalry squadron will come to attack Xinzhuang the day after tomorrow, and send food to our pot?
The three chatted and laughed for a while, and soon turned their attention to the training of the cavalry company not far away.

On the training ground, at the starting point of the galloping horses, a young soldier seemed to be being reprimanded by Sun Desheng. As for the reason, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Zhao Gang seemed to have guessed the reason even though they were far away.

The little soldier was a little frightened, and even the movement of getting on the horse was a little stiff. Halfway up, the horse suddenly became restless, and the little soldier was so frightened that he fell directly from the stirrups.

Sun Desheng seemed to be swearing, and his saliva almost hit the little soldier's face. The little soldier looked aggrieved and tears fell down his face.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Gang frowned, "Old Kong, Lao Li, let's go and see the situation."

The three walked in, and soon heard the conversation of the little soldier Sun Desheng.

The first thing I heard was Sun Desheng's somewhat vulgar cursing:

"Hey, what did you do, boy? You're even afraid of your own horse, and you still come to be a cavalry?"

"I tell you that the war horse is a part of your body. You must get familiar with it as soon as possible, adapt to it, and completely integrate with the war horse. On the battlefield, your greatest partner and greatest help is the war horse under your crotch. You are afraid of even war horses. When you go to the battlefield to kill devils, do you focus on your fear of war horses or on devils? Just like you, when you go to the battlefield, you only have to kill devils."

"Stand up, don't let me kick you, he, a man, is he afraid of falling off his horse? Your kid is wearing protective gear, even if he falls, he won't die. Which outstanding cavalryman didn't fall a thousand and eight hundred times? It fell out all over the place?"

Zhao Gang, who heard Sun Desheng's scolding, frowned even more. He was about to stop Sun Desheng's scolding, when a long-faced man came over.

"Old Sun, I know that you are eager to train, and your original intention is to benefit our soldiers, but this training is also education, but when it comes to education, you still have to pay attention to a method."

Chen Dalian, the instructor of the cavalry company, stopped Sun Desheng's reprimand.

Sun Desheng still has to give the instructor's face, "Instructor, it's not that I want to scold him, it's because this kid is too stupid!"

"I know, I know!" Chen Dalian smiled wryly, stepped forward to put Sun Desheng's shoulders, pulled some of his hands, and said, "Old Sun, I know your style of handling things. You can use a stick to make a strong soldier. The effect is this." We have also seen in a few days that many fighters have made rapid progress."

This is the recognition of Sun Desheng's training of cavalry.

Faced with such a compliment, Sun Desheng was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "Instructor, I am a rough person, I don't understand these things, anyway, when I was a cavalry, our company commander trained me like this. I'm also afraid of war horses. The company commander's feet hurt when I came up. My butt hurt for two days, but do you think it's strange? Looking back, I'm not afraid of the war horses anymore. When I saw the war horses, I remembered the company commander kicking my feet. , So I got on the horse and kicked the horse’s ass fiercely, and it didn’t take long before I became the best recruit in the cavalry company.”

"Excellent!" Chen Dalin smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Asked back: "Old Sun, then I want to ask, what kind of attitude do you have towards your company commander? Is it respect? Or fear? Or hatred?"

Sun Desheng said: "I am afraid and hate at the same time."

"Only without respect?"

"During the Great War in the Central Plains. Our cavalry company suffered more than half of the casualties, and the company commander took the lead and ran away. It was Lao Tzu who led the cavalry to fight, which covered the retreat of the cavalry company. I despise our company commander, how can I admire him?"

"Then, Old Sun, when your company commander gives you orders, you execute them out of obedience to the orders and fear in your heart, am I right?"

"Yes."

"Only without respect?"

"I look down on him!"

"Understood, I understand, so you, your company commander, are more obedient to orders, and you are afraid, plus some hatred, but there is no respect, so even if he gives an order on the battlefield, you carry it out , but there is not much approval for this order in my heart."

"Old Sun, you don't object to my saying that?"

"This is the truth." Sun Desheng said.

Chen Dalian smiled, "In the same way, do you want these soldiers in our cavalry company to obey and fear you only in terms of orders, and not have the slightest respect for you? Do you want to be the hero of yours in the eyes of the soldiers? Is that the company commander?"

Sun Desheng said decisively: "I'm not the same as that coward. Even if I die in battle, I will never be a deserter."

"I understand that this is the most admirable part of your company commander Sun, but, old sun, have you thought about it? What is the difference between beating and scolding soldiers at will now and your company commander beating and scolding you at will?"

"I……"

"Since you didn't approve of your company commander back then, didn't respect him, and even looked down on him, why did you continue the way this kind of person trained you back then?"

"You have to know that not corporal punishment to beat and scold these fighters is a respect for the fighters, and your respect for the fighters can also form a strong fighting force."

"A cavalry company that respects their company commander can carry out all the orders of the company commander, maximize the execution power, and win big battles one after another."

"But a cavalry company that doesn't respect their company commander, do you still expect such a cavalry team to win the battle?"

Sun Desheng was stunned. He was a rough man, but he was not a fool. "Instructor, what do you mean, I shouldn't beat and scold these soldiers?"

Chen Dalian said with a smile: "Old Sun, I am not trying to put an end to your training method. Comrades train, there are rewards, praises, and punishments. This is what it should be, and it can promote their enthusiasm."

"Sometimes, the proper reminder is also our cadres' concern for the soldiers. For example, our regiment leader, he also likes to kick people, but the regiment leader usually kicks people with a smile. You don't even need to punish people like this. Understand it as punishment, but it is a kind of intimacy in disguise."

Sun Desheng said: "Instructor, I'm a little confused. This is also kicking people. Is there any difference?"

Chen Dalian shook his head with a wry smile, and was about to explain when Kong Jie, the regiment leader, came up.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian hurriedly saluted.

Kong Jie nodded, walked up to the aggrieved little soldier who was wiping tears, patted his shoulder, and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

Seeing Kong Jie, the little soldier quickly saluted, called out to the commander, and then replied, "Report to the commander, my name is Xu Nan."

"Is it difficult to give birth?"

"Head, how do you know? It's because my mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to me, and almost had an accident. After I was born, my father scolded me and named me Xu Nan."

"Then your father really didn't scold you wrongly. You said your mother was not easy to conceive you. Why can't you be a little more obedient and come out smoothly?" Kong Jie asked with a smile.

"Has someone given you a nickname?"

"Reporting leader, yes, they all call me Pumpkin, but I don't like this nickname, Pumpkin is too ugly."

Kong Jie laughed and said, "Why is it so ugly? I think it's a good nickname. You really look like a pumpkin with legs."

"In addition, it's a good thing that everyone gives you a nickname. It means that your comrades-in-arms recognize you. For example, your regiment leader, I am so smart, they still call me Kong Er fool! You said give me this nickname No, you don’t have any eyesight, do you?”

"Hmm!" Xu Nan replied.

Li Yunlong: "..."

"Captain, I understand, I like the nickname Pumpkin."

"How old is this year?"

"Nineteen."

"Nineteen! That's not young. If it weren't for our Eighth Route Army to fight devils, there would be quite a few fathers at your age."

"Did your company commander scold you just now?" Kong Jie asked again.

Xu Nan timidly glanced at Sun Desheng at the side, then shook his head hastily.

Kong Jie laughed and scolded: "You boy, if you scold, you scold. What do you think Sun Desheng is doing? I heard your company commander scold you just now. You are a man, you stand upright, why don't you dare? You know our deputy commander Li Yunlong, right? That kid has been thinking about fighting with our brigade commander all day long!"

Li Yunlong: "..."

Damn it, you fool Kong Er, you...

…………

"But you have to know that it is for your own good that your company commander scolds you. Now that you don't train well, you have mastered this equestrian skill, and you go to the battlefield. At that time, no one scolds you, and some are only the little devils who can ask for it." The bullet that kills you, the bayonet that kills you."

"If you ask me, it's not bad for Sun Desheng to scold you. If you are under my hands, I will still have to kick someone!"

As he said that, Kong Jie really kicked Xu Nan's left buttock lightly, and then said: "See, I can still kick people! If you don't want to be scolded or kicked, then Train well, otherwise, next time I will make up for your right buttock kick."

"In addition, the leader told you that it is normal to be afraid of war horses. You said that the war horses are big and round in front of us, and I would be afraid when I approached them! I am afraid that the beast will kick me in the stomach."

"But pumpkin, you have to understand that it will not be a war horse soon. What is it? It is your closest comrade-in-arms and brother who accompany you day and night. When you go to the battlefield, the horse you sit on is It can protect your life and block bullets for you."

"Such a dumb comrade who really cares for you, do you still need to be afraid of it? Of course, you have to learn to develop a relationship with the horse. You have to treat the horse as your comrade. If it's okay, give it a bath, brush its hair, and scratch it , it’s fine to hold it and kiss it when you’re happy.”

"Do you think war horses have no feelings? No, let me tell you, war horses also have feelings. If you treat it well, it will keep it in your heart."

"I remember when I was in the Red Army, I knew a veteran of a cavalry company. Once, we were so hungry on the way, we managed to get two steamed buns from a fellow villager, and I ate them without saying a word. You Guess him? He carried the steamed buns in his pocket for three miles, and when he returned to the camp, he actually stuffed all his steamed buns into the mouth of his horse, and he was so hungry that his eyes stared."

"Leader, what about later?" Xu Nan was completely attracted by this story.

Kong Jie said with emotion: "Later! Once in a battle, the veteran was wounded and fell into a coma on the horse. His body was also covered in wounds. The bleeding horse insisted on walking for more than ten miles to give the veteran to Came back to the station, but as soon as the man and horse arrived at the station, the veteran was quickly rescued by his comrades, and after being sent to the hospital, the horse was completely exhausted, fell to the ground, and died."

Everyone said that the war horse was about to die a long time ago, and they just wanted to save the veteran, so they insisted on walking back, which was a great miracle.

"In the hospital, after the seriously injured veteran woke up in a daze, the first thing he asked was: Where is my horse? How is it?"

"The nurses and doctors were all choked up, and no one could bear to tell him the news of the sacrifice of the horse."

Later, the veteran was discharged from the hospital, and when he heard the news of the sacrifice of the horse, he went to the battlefield. The veteran, who had a broken arm without blinking, knelt on the training ground and wailed loudly. He cried like a child and kept calling the name of the horse. Shouted all afternoon.

... The story ended here, and Kong Jie's voice also slowly stopped.

But the endless aftertaste of this story is still circling back and forth on the training ground.

The tragic story, Xu Nan couldn't help the tears in his eyes.

Sun Desheng, Chen Dalian, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang who were also listening to the story were also shocked.

This is a real cavalryman!
