Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

They have to be fed and watered every day, their excrement must be cleaned, and they must be sprayed and disinfected to avoid plagues. In a sense, these livestock are more troublesome than captives.

"These are pulling carts, and the military horses are over there."

The old accountant led Qiao Lin to turn left and right from the herd of livestock, followed closely by the soldiers of the cavalry company, and everyone walked in fear, for fear that they would step on something they shouldn't.

Maybe it's a chicken, maybe it's a pile of shit.

The military horses are individually fenced together, and are eligible to live in a single room, and their status is clear at a glance.

There are more than 1000 military horses, all of which are majestic.

"Company Commander Sun, you take a few soldiers who know horses, pick out 160 two horses for combat, and pick out [-] spare horses."

Qiao Lin turned to Sun Desheng and said.

Sun Desheng led several soldiers into the fence and began to carefully select them.

Fur, limbs, hooves, chest, back buttocks, back, nose, eyes, teeth. ． ．

Soldiers deal with horses all day long, and they are very familiar with how to distinguish a good horse from a bad one. After walking around in it, they quickly picked out the best military horses.

"Then it's the equipment. This saves trouble, it's all piled up outside."

The old accountant glanced at the approval note again, and walked out. The soldiers led a horse by hand, and began the journey of carefully dodging again.

After leaving the yard, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The smell inside was really tormenting.

"one two three four..."

Chapter 850 Teaches you how to equip

The old accountant walked and counted the hills of goods next to him, and finally stopped in front of one of them: "This is it."

The soldiers hurriedly lifted the tarpaulin covering it.

"Three hundred sabers."

Like a street stall owner, the old accountant read the approval slip and then bent down to search for it.

Qiao Lin didn't need to order such things, and the soldiers stepped forward to help them consciously.

"One hundred horse rifles."

"Two hundred horse rifle stabs."

"Forty boxes of ammunition for horse rifles."

. . . . . .

More people are more powerful, and more people can do things better.

With the help of the soldiers, the things written on the approval slips were quickly counted out and sorted together. The whole process didn't even take half an hour.

"Okay, everything is ready, don't worry about ordering it again."

The old accountant shook the approval note, looked at the things that had been moved out, and said to Qiao Lin.

"No need, so many people can't be wrong."

Qiao Lin smiled and waved his hands, then pouted at Sun Desheng. Sun Desheng understood, and took a few soldiers to cover the tarpaulin again and press it tightly.

"Chief, I have to trouble you, can you find some ropes and unused tarpaulins, so many things are scattered and hard to handle."

Qiao Lin happened to see the forty boxes of bullets, and hurriedly said to the old accountant.

"No problem, these two things are the most indispensable thing in this place. You can just ask some soldiers to come with me to get them. You can clean them up slowly. I still have a lot of debts to settle."

The old accountant nodded, and then smiled wryly again, probably because he remembered that there were still accounts waiting for him to settle, and his mood suddenly became bad.

Soon, the soldiers who were taken away by the old accountant came back with several stacks of tarpaulins and bundles of ropes.

"Instructor Qiao, why did you get so many things this time?"

With no outsiders left, Sun Desheng finally had a chance to ask the question that he had kept in his mind for a long time.

"During this all-out battle, a small devil's cavalry brigade was wiped out. The deputy commander took care of our cavalry company, so he allocated some supplies to us."

Qiao Lin briefly introduced the origin of these materials, and did not mention that he asked the deputy commander for equipment, but explained that it was all given by the deputy commander.

This is true. He just wanted some sabers and bullets, but the deputy commander gave them so much at once. He hoped that the soldiers would remember the goodness of the deputy commander, instead of accepting his own feelings.

"I didn't expect that the deputy commander would still miss us with such a small force."

Sure enough, the soldiers were very moved after hearing it.

"Okay, let's hurry up and pack up. We still have to hurry. The eighteen extra horses are for carrying things. First separate the forty boxes of bullets, wrap them in a tarpaulin and tie them to the horses."

Qiao Lin glanced at his watch, and it was almost noon. If he delayed, he would definitely not be able to reach the independent group tomorrow night, so he hurriedly urged.

The forty boxes of ammunition were divided into twenty parts, and two boxes were wrapped in tarpaulins and carried on ten horses respectively.

Under Qiao Lin's command, each soldier received a new saber and hung it around his waist, and the remaining sabers and horse rifles were wrapped in tarpaulins.

The saddles and stirrups were all installed, and the rest were all tied up and carried on the other eight horses.

"Instructor Qiao, what is this?"

A soldier picked up a spur from the ground, looked at it for a while but couldn't figure out what it was, and asked curiously.

"Do as I say first, and I'll tell you what it is later."

Qiao Lin smiled, first picked up a horse rifle and stabbed it, and mounted it on the muzzle of a horse rifle he had taken out specially.

The installation method of the horse rifle bayonet is the same as that of the rifle bayonet. One set of one card is enough.

"It turns out that the cavalry also have bayonets!"

Wang Dachui held the gun with both hands and made a stabbing motion, then said in surprise.

"There are actually a lot of regular cavalry equipment. I will teach you how to use this horse rifle stabbing when I go back."

As Qiaolin said, he took two more leggings, squatted down and untied the leggings wrapped around his calves.

The soldiers followed his example one after another.

In order to make it easier for soldiers to march during wartime, troops would choose to wrap their trousers tightly around their calves with cloth belts, which not only prevents the trouser legs from being caught by weeds when walking in the jungle, but also prevents insects, ants, rats and snakes from crawling when they are concealed for a long time. into the pants.

This kind of cloth belt is also called leggings or leggings. It is used in the troops of various countries, and the main material is cloth.

But the cavalry is different. The thing used to wrap the calf is a whole piece of thick leather, which is made according to the curvature of the calf. When wearing it, you need to take off your shoes and put it on your calf like trousers. There is a fixed one on the top. Snaps, known as leggings.

The role of the leggings is not to prevent hooks and insects, but to protect the cavalry's calves.

When cavalrymen are fighting, the calf is the most vulnerable part to attack, because once the calf is injured, they will not be able to step on the stirrups, resulting in the inability to control their body balance.

Therefore, whether it is cavalry against infantry or cavalry against cavalry, in addition to a fatal blow to the vital parts of the body, the calf is the most important.

However, leggings made of thick leather can protect the calf to the greatest extent, sabers or bayonets, and it is usually difficult to destroy this kind of hard leather at one time.

"This thing is weird and a bit heavy."

After putting on two leggings, a soldier stood up and took two steps, feeling that his legs seemed heavier than before.

"This thing protects the calf."

Qiao Lin picked up the scabbard and knocked heavily on the soldier's leggings, only to hear a "boom", as if it had hit a broken drum.

"How, how do you feel?"

Jolin asked.

"Huh? Doesn't it hurt?"

The soldier said in surprise.

The calf bone is one of the thicker bones in the human body, but it is also very fragile. The pain after a bump is almost worse than being chopped.

The other soldiers also knocked on each other with their scabbards, and they could only feel the vibration of the leggings, without any pain at all.

For a while, "dong dong dong" sounded non-stop, as if the drumming team was performing.

"Okay, stop playing."

Seeing that the soldiers were all beating back and forth, and some of them were beating the drums, Qiao Lin yelled helplessly.

Sure enough, the game is addictive.

"I don't need to teach you how to wear this, do I?"

Jolin took another pair of riding boots and slipped them on.

The soles of the riding boots were hard, but the leather of the boots was soft, so it was not troublesome to wear. They fit on the feet in one go. The height of the boots was below the knee, just covering the leggings.

The shoes worn by soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are basically hand-stitched cloth shoes. This kind of leather riding boots can be said to be the most expensive shoes they have ever worn.

"No wonder cavalrymen wear these boots. They are like a horse's hoof, and have iron soles."

Sun Desheng was the first to discover the unusualness of the riding boots and said in surprise.

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers all sat down and raised their feet to check.

It is true that the toe and heel of the shoe are nailed with iron palms.

The purpose of nailing iron shoes on horses is to prevent hooves from grinding, and it is the first time I have seen iron shoes on shoes.

Wang Dachui stood up, kicked twice in the air, and said arrogantly: "I think I can kick a little devil to death with one kick now."

He is very satisfied with the new shoes.

"This thing is more troublesome, you have to look carefully."

Chapter 850 Discovering a small group of enemy troops

Jolin picked up the strange thing that was asked by the warrior at the beginning.

Except for Qiao Lin, no one present had seen this thing before.

The soldiers of the cavalry company are not inferior to any cavalry in terms of riding skills and combat power, but they are indeed much worse in knowledge.

"These are called spurs, and they're worn like this."

Jolin sat on the ground, picked up a spur and fixed it on the riding boot.

To be honest, he only knows more about things like the Spurs in theory, and he has only used it once before, so his movements seem a bit clumsy.
