Seeing Gao Jiu and others get off the plane, Wang Zhankui came forward and shouted from a distance: "Master Jiu, you are back!"

Gao Jiu responded affectionately: "President Wang Tuan."

Wang Zhankui hurriedly said, "What's your name? You'd better call me brother Zhankui."

Gao Jiu said, "Brother Zhan Kui, thank you for your hard work. You have run back and forth several times for my supplies for you."

Wang Zhankui smiled and said, "It should be possible to serve Jiu Ye, brother, I am willing."

Speaking of this, he looked at the plane behind Gao Jiu and said with some envy: "So this guy is so big, brother, I haven't taken the plane yet."

Zhou Mingshan smiled and said, "Brother Zhan Kui, do you want to go up and take a look?"

Wang Zhankui said happily: "I think so, can I go up?"

Zhou Mingshan said a few words to an Air Force crew member, and the crew took Wang Zhankui upstairs to visit.

After a while, Wang Zhankui came down. He said with emotion: "I really don't know how such a big iron guy can fly into the sky?"

The words of such a rustic bun made everyone laugh, and the crew member couldn't help laughing.

When Wang Zhankui saw everyone laughing at him, he said indifferently: "What's the matter? I haven't seen it before. When it comes to riding a horse and shooting a gun, you can't do it either."

Gao Jiu saw a black car and two trucks parked not far away, and smiled and said, "Brother Zhan Kui, why didn't he ride a horse?"

Wang Zhankui is now the deputy of the 792nd Regiment. Wang Jindong treats him very well and gives him a car. Since he has this car, Wang Zhankui feels that riding a car is more comfortable than riding a horse, so he lives in this car no matter where he goes.

He smiled proudly and said, "Look at how I have this car? It's more comfortable to ride a horse. Hey, let me tell you, brother, I will drive myself, and I will be the driver for you later."

Judging from the time, this guy has only been a month since he has been learning to drive, and his driving skills are a bit unbelievable. Zhou Mingshan smiled and said, "Let's go next time."

Gao Jiu was also a little unbelievable about his driving skills, so he smiled and said nothing.

Everyone got into the car, and Zhou Mingshan said to the car driver: "You go to another car, I'll drive this car."

Zhou Mingshan was driving a sedan, Gao Jiu and Wang Zhankui sat side by side in the back seat, and the three of them chatted all the way.

Wang Zhankui said enviously: "Master Jiu, you are so capable! After going to Wuhan, you got so many good things. It's so amazing and you have too much face."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "What are you like? I'll give you some."

Wang Zhankui said happily: "Jiu Ye is generous. Wang Tuan Zu has given me a lot of weapons and ammunition, so I don't want it anymore. Thank you, Master Jiu. I have an idea, please give me a pistol. Brother, I don't lack pistols. However, what you gave me personally will be different. Brother, I will save face."

Wang Zhankui is really a smart person. He seems vulgar, but it makes people feel close. Through this period of contact, Wang Zhankui has long seen that Gao Jiu's energy is too great. Although he is very young, he has a big and thick leg. As long as he holds this thick leg, he has many benefits. Therefore, he deliberately pleases Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Okay! I happened to get some Browning pistols, so I'll give you one."

Wang Zhankui said happily: "Then thank you Master Jiu. When I see my sworn brother in the future, I say I am friends with Master Jiu. Then I will pull out this gun, who dares not believe it?"

Zhou Mingshan, who was driving in front, also thought Wang Zhankui had a good idea. He smiled and said, "Master Jiu, you can't favor one and the other, you can give me one to me."

Gao Jiu said, "No problem, they are all good brothers, and each person gives you one. So, when I go back, I will engrave my name on the pistol handle and leave it to you brothers."

Wang Zhankui said in surprise: "Oh, this is even better. Otherwise, I would say this is the gun given to me by Master Jiu, and I'm afraid there are still people who don't believe it."

Gao Jiu informed Wang Zhankui of the new trends of the Japanese army, and specifically mentioned the situation of the 18th Battalion of the Japanese Cavalry.

The Oriental Horse that people often call is not actually a native horse from Japan. The native horse from Japan is short and not suitable for military horses. The army uses improved domestic military horses.

The main horse breed chosen during the improvement was Arabian horses: they are civilized in the world with their beautiful body shape and light movements, with strong heat resistance and durability. The Emperor's guard cavalry used Alabama.

Anglo Arabian horse: used as a mount for division and brigade commanders, or as a messenger.

Angron Norman Horse: This is the main use of horses in the Japanese cavalry unit, and 80% of the cavalry use this breed of war horses.

The main weapons equipped are sabers: mainly "three. two" sabers, full name "32-year cavalry sabers", with a total length of 1.002 meters and a total weight of 1.35 kilograms. The blade is strong and durable, and the edge is sharp. Cavalry (carriage): 0.966 meters in length, weighs 3.34 kilograms, and a diameter of 6.5 meters.

The Japanese cavalry organization consists of squadrons, brigades, wings, and brigades. The largest organization is the cavalry group.

Cavalry squadron: 144 people, 134 horses; Cavalry brigade: two cavalry squadrons and a machine gun squad, 340 people.

Door.

Gao Jiu said: "The 18th Japanese Cavalry Brigade will be the main target of your cavalry battalion in the future, and you must pay attention to it."

Wang Zhankui knew very well about Japanese cavalry. He had visited Japanese cavalry many times. The Japanese cavalry units were well-equipped, well-trained, and had very strong combat capabilities. Wang Zhankui's cavalry battalion was not as good as the Japanese cavalry units in terms of equipment, training, and even fighting will. Especially in terms of military strength, Wang Zhankui now has only 240 people, and the 18th Japanese cavalry team has 340 people. The gap between the forces between the two sides is very obvious.

Hearing this situation, Wang Zhankui frowned and said, "This battle will not be easy to fight in the future."

Gao Jiu asked, "What are you mainly worried about?"

Wang Zhankui is still very confident about his ability to train cavalry. He said: "There is nothing else, mainly because the gap in military strength is too big."

Gao Jiu said: "Actually, if you just think about it, this gap will not be a problem."

Although Wang Zhankui respected Gao Jiu very much, he did not believe that Gao Jiu would have any extraordinary skills in his cavalry tactics. He asked casually: "Please give me advice." From his tone, he could hear his obvious perfunctory attitude.

Gao Jiu asked: "What are the cavalry's most afraid of?"

Wang Zhankui said: "I fear machine guns the most." The war horses have large targets and are afraid of the enemy's dense firepower.

Gao Jiu continued to ask, "Why weren't you afraid when you were fighting in the past?"

Wang Zhankui said: "The enemy's firepower is not strong and he is not brave enough. He will be destroyed by the cavalry." The enemies he faced before were all bandits. It turned out that the local warlords in Shandong were not strong enough, and the quality of the officers and soldiers of the troops was also very poor. They were afraid of cavalry charges, so Wang Zhankui's cavalry troops had the advantage.

When the Japanese army first entered Shandong, Wang Zhankui fought with the Japanese and fought a war with the Japanese cavalry, but he never took advantage of it. Therefore, he was a little psychologically afraid of the Japanese.

Gao Jiu asked, "How did you feel when you were fighting with Japanese cavalry?"

Wang Zhankui thought about it carefully and said, "Actually nothing. I have fought with them for sabers. Their cavalry is well-trained and has superb sword skills. I have not taken advantage of it."

Gao Jiu said, "I'll ask you another question. If you lead your cavalry battalion to attack the enemy, and dozens of machine guns suddenly appear on the enemy's position, how do you feel?"

Wang Zhankui shook his head and said, "With such a strong firepower, isn't you looking for death when you rush forward?"

Gao Jiu said, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Zhankui was thinking, but there were still some things that he couldn't figure out. He said sincerely: "Please give me some advice."

Gao Jiu said: "It's not that I belittle the cavalry troops. Now it is no longer the era of cold weapons. The advantages of cavalry are no longer in the face of powerful firepower.

Although the Japanese cavalry were powerful, their tactics were still very rigid. They still used the past group charge, causing psychological panic to defeat the enemy. Their tactics were probably not as flexible as your Wang Zhankui's use of cavalry troops.

At this point, Wang Zhankui was very confident. He was a bandit and the tactics he adopted during combat were very flexible. Otherwise, when he fought with the Japanese army, the entire army would have been wiped out. He nodded and said, "You are right. The Japanese army's tactics are indeed a bit rigid."

Gao Jiu said: "When dealing with Japanese cavalry, as long as you have enough firepower, you can completely suppress, defeat or even annihilate them. Science and technology are constantly developing and improving, weapons will become more and more advanced, and cavalry troops will be eliminated sooner or later. But it does not mean that cavalry is useless. At least in this era, strong mobility is the biggest advantage of cavalry. In the use of cavalry, you must play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.

I will give you a suggestion now. Starting today, your cavalry battalion must change its original combat method, abandon the traditional melee weapon such as sabers, and rely on powerful firepower to deal with the enemy's cavalry.

Instead of using the past group charge combat methods, cavalry is used as infantry riding horses and war horses are used only as tools for fast maneuvering.

You have 240 cavalry now, and I suggest reducing the number of cavalry, such as retaining 200 cavalry, freeing up a batch of warhorse-carrying weapons and ammunition, and equipping machine guns and other automatic firearms, and using dismounting combat during combat. As long as you have sufficient firepower, what are the more than 300 cavalrymen in the 18th Battalion of the Japanese Cavalry?”

Wang Zhankui's mind was very flexible. He had turned around now. He clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Yes, the Japanese cavalry are here. If I don't fight him head-on, I will fuck him with a machine gun! If I don't believe it, I won't kill them."

Gao Jiu said: "Just understand. From now on, your cavalry battalion will be a mobile firepower position. You can equip it with dozens of machine guns, and you can transport bullets to deal with enemy cavalry easily. At the same time, you can equip some sharpshooters, plus a certain number of platoons. Whether the enemy is cavalry or infantry, you can deal with them more easily."

Wang Zhankui said excitedly, "I will tell the regiment when I go back, "Reequip my cavalry battalion." He was confident that he said this. Wang Jindong's 792nd Regiment is different from other national troops. It is rich and powerful, and it can fully meet Wang Zhankui's needs.

In fact, when Gao Jiu said this to Wang Zhankui, he also had this idea in his mind. In the future, he would also equip his special forces with all horses to enhance his mobility, and his combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

Gao Jiu and others were chatting and joking, heading towards Zhiyuan County.

Taohua Mountain.

Zhang Quan, the second in commander, received a telegram from Gao Jiu. He said happily: "Jiu Master is coming back, I want to pick him up in person. Jiu Master is amazing! This time I got a lot of good things from Wuhan, so we can get more people back. Haha!"

Feng Xiucai smiled and asked, "What are the good things? Ask the boss, have you brought back Dayang? Those guys are so terrible."

Today, large-scale construction of Taohua Mountain is not only renovated in Taohua Cave, but also built many houses on the top of the mountain. After all, it is inconvenient for people to live in caves for a long time. This troubles have been spent like a stream of water.

Zhang Quan smiled and said, "You old money-lovers. I didn't say anything about the matter in Jiu Ye's telegram, and I don't know. However, are you not at ease with Jiu Ye's ability to make money?"

Feng Xiucai smiled and said, "No, I don't want to remind him not to forget it."

Zhang Quan said to Du Shengxi: "Jiu Master said that after he comes back, he will organize a marriage with Zhao Xuemei, so that you can start preparing now."

Du Shengxi is now in harmony with Zhao Xuemei. He has been waiting for Gao Jiu to come back and then asked him to preside over the marriage. Hearing this, he said happily: "Jiu Master is Jiu Master, and he always thinks about his brothers. He will tell Xuemei in a while to make her happy."

Afterwards, they discussed going to Zhiyuan County to welcome Gao Jiu.

There are more than 200 people in Taohua Mountain today, including Gao Jiu, Zhang Quan and other leaders. Now there are 100 special forces members. Gao Jiu has gone these days. Zhang Quan and others are very busy with the training of the special forces members, and Taohua Mountain is willing to spend a lot of money to train. These special forces members have made great progress now.

In addition, Geng Hua's guard has been expanded to 50 people, with a good level of training and a very powerful equipment. The guard with only 50 people is equipped with 15 machine guns and four mortars. When Guo Hengming returned from Zhiyuan County last time, he brought back 20 submachine guns sent by Wang Jindongliang, and all of them were equipped with the guards. If we talk about firepower alone, Geng Hua's guard will surpass a field squadron of the Japanese army.

In Taoyuan Town, the security forces of Li Chengwu, Shi Jianlong and Liang Shihu are also recruiting soldiers and now there are more than 70 people, equipped with six light machine guns and two mortars. The team members also took turns to Taohua Mountain for training, and their combat effectiveness is also very strong.

Today, the construction of the hospital has begun to take shape in Taohua Mountain. The hospital has complete facilities and sufficient medicines. A ward with 32 beds has also been built. In addition, cultural education is also very tight, and several classrooms have been built, with cultural and Japanese classes opened.

Now there are more people on Taohua Mountain, four kitchens, special forces, guards, and other personnel have been built to have dinner separately. Other facilities are also under construction, and cultural, sports and entertainment activities are gradually being carried out.

A stage was built on the mountain. There were some people who liked to sing operas in the cottage, who wrote and performed some programs. No matter how high or low they were, they were willing to perform on the stage, and other people were also willing to watch the excitement. The stage became a good place for people to gather and chat every day.

Today's Taohua Mountain is like a small town, rich, safe, comfortable and harmonious. Compared with other places under the iron hoof of the Japanese invaders outside the mountain, it seems like a paradise.
