Chapter 398 Crisis in North China ([-]th Jewish Independent Brigade [-])

The meeting lasted until more than three o'clock in the afternoon. After that, Ouyang Yun, accompanied by Ouyang Stern, went to the camp of the Jewish Independent Brigade and inspected the troops.

The Jewish Independent Brigade consists of three regiments and one battalion. Because of the support of the Jewish plutocrats, the brigade is the only military force that can be called a motorized force in the cadet army.The officers and soldiers of the whole brigade not only have vehicles for transportation, but are also equipped with a battalion of self-propelled artillery, a battalion of self-propelled anti-aircraft combat vehicles, and a battalion of tanks.In addition, there is a battalion-level cavalry unit.Among the three regiments, except for the commander of the third battalion, which was held by the Han nationality Huang Huamin, the other two regiment leaders and one battalion commander were all Jewish.The ratio of Jews to Han soldiers was three to one, and Jews accounted for the vast majority.

Because the situation in North China was very unstable during this period, according to the spirit of the Xuebing Army Command, the Jewish Independent Brigade increased the time for military training, and the military farms were handed over to nearby farmers to take care of them.When Ouyang Yun and Stern drove into the camp, the soldiers were practicing on the playground. Among them, the No. [-] regiment was shooting targets, the No. [-] regiment was doing civil engineering work, and the No. [-] regiment was running a five-kilometer cross-country load.As for the cavalry battalion, they are practicing hacking techniques.

The establishment of the Jewish Independent Brigade Cavalry was suggested by Ouyang Yun.In the North China Plain, because of the terrain, the cavalry can still play a specific role.Ouyang Yun himself doesn't know how to ride a horse, so he used to make jokes about it.But that didn't make him ignore the importance of the cavalry.As for the reason why he wanted to set up a cavalry unit in the Self-Love Jewish Independent Brigade, Ouyang Yun considered the relationship between horses.Horses play a very important role in the quality of cavalry units, and the place where tall horses are produced now is in Europe.All the horses of the Independence Brigade were bought by the Jews from Europe and the United States at a great cost.

Ouyang Yun and his entourage first came to the training ground of the cavalry battalion, watching groups of cavalry swinging their sabers past the grass targets, a silver light flashed, and the grass targets were split in half.There are also cavalrymen, with a knife in one hand and a pistol in one hand. They first fired a shot and then slashed with a knife. He couldn't help asking: "Is there no uniform standard for cavalry training?"

Stern said: "Yes. As you can see, each person's equestrian proficiency is different, and the fighting style is also different. Take the battalion commander Ma Kaishan as an example. He doesn't need to hold a rein when riding a horse, so he can hold a gun with both hands. It can accurately hit a target at a distance of about 300 meters while traveling."

The cavalry has special guns, which are shorter and lighter than the weapons used by ordinary infantry.

Ouyang Yun didn't know how to ride a horse, so he respected people who were good at riding for granted, and said, "Is it really so amazing? I want to see it." Stern nodded silently, called his guards, and told him to call for a horse Come over here.

Ma Kaishan is a short man, about 30 years old, and looks quite strong.At this time, he was teaching a few good riders how to shoot accurately on the horse. When he heard that the military seat was coming, he immediately jumped on the horse and ran over.From afar, he shouted in his heavily accented accent: "Ma'kai'shan, commander of the Cavalry Battalion of the Jewish Independent Brigade, has seen the military seat!" He raised his right hand on the horse and gave a military salute.

Ouyang Yun returned a military salute and said with a smile: "Ma Kaishan, I heard that you can shoot while running, can you demonstrate it for us?"

A red light appeared on Ma Kaishan's face, he grinned happily and said, "I want it!" Then he shouted loudly: "Little six, hurry up, hide for me at that ridge, take a few A wine bottle."

Xiaoliuzi is his bodyguard, and he should often play this game with him. Hearing this, he pulled five or six empty wine bottles and walked towards the ditch 100 meters away.

Seeing him, Stern said softly, "Senior, it seems that he wants to shoot a live target. This is more difficult than shooting a dead target 300 meters away."

Ouyang Yun smiled lightly: "Move the target." He said again: "Stern, let the brothers come over and enjoy it, just to relax. A combination of work and rest, training will be effective."

Stern frowned, obviously considering whether his suggestion was reasonable, but in the end he couldn't convince himself, and asked, "Military seat, are you an order or a suggestion?"

Ouyang Yun was surprised and asked, "Is there any difference?"

Stern respected the military salute, and said seriously: "If it is an order, I must of course implement it, but if it is a suggestion, I don't think it is necessary. The bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders, and maintaining military discipline is the top priority of military management. There is a stipulation in Chapter X and Article X of the Military Regulations of the Soldiers Army: the daily training of the army must be unremitting, and the training must not be suspended without reason. During the training period, there must be no interruption without reason. As the highest officer of the independent brigade, I must lead by example and abide by this rule. a rule."

Ouyang Yun's heart moved, he looked at Stern, and felt for the first time the meticulous work style unique to German soldiers.Responding to a military salute, he solemnly said: "Brigade Commander Stern, you are right. I would like to ask one more question, do you strictly enforce the military regulations of our cadet army?"

With his chest raised high, Stern said proudly, "Yes."

"Then, officers and soldiers must maintain brotherly friendship. Have you fulfilled this requirement?"

Stern smiled slightly, as if he had expected that he would ask yes, and immediately replied loudly: "We are doing very well."

Ouyang Yun looked at several other training places, and found that the relationship between officers and soldiers was indeed quite harmonious, and said sincerely: "Very good, it is not easy for you to do this." After thinking about it, he added: "According to I know that the hierarchy in the German army is very strict."

"Yes, but not all of them. I personally think that a harmonious relationship between officers and soldiers is good for army building."

"Haha, very good, Commander Ma is running, let's watch him perform."

While Ouyang Yun was talking with Stern, Little Six had already run to the designated place, he hid in the ditch below, and after he uttered a prepared shout, the horse drove up to run.

Ouyang Yun couldn't help widening his eyes, and raised his heart - at first, he thought that Ma Kaishan was going to shoot while running, and the speed of the horse would not be too fast, but now, when he saw Ma Kaishan's mount Na Yang It was only when he raised his ponytail that he realized that it was really too difficult for Ma Kaishan to hit a "moving target" while running fast.

On the training ground of the cavalry battalion, maybe it was because Ma Kaishan had performed too many similar performances, or the soldiers knew too well what their battalion commander was capable of, or maybe it was because the military discipline of the Jewish Independent Brigade was very strict, and no one stopped to watch , everyone was still performing chopping movements, even if it was not their turn to play for the time being, they did not look sideways, which made Ouyang Yun look up to Stern even more.He even wondered if Stern should be a higher-ranking officer. Perhaps it would be a good choice to expand the Independent Brigade.
