The two people who came in were not tall, but they could only be considered medium-sized, but their bodies were very uniform, and their movements were concise and neat, showing that they had received rigorous training in the military camp.

Qin Zheng nodded. Although he had not discussed in detail, judging from the temperament and movements of the two, although they were retired soldiers, they still seemed to be in good health and retained the temperament and style of the soldiers.

These two people are Cheng Yajie and Zhao Lijun. They received a notice from the Military Commission and the Ministry of Personnel yesterday, asking them to report to Qin Zheng's office.

Qin Zheng said: "Sit down, sit down and talk about it."

After the two of them sat down, Qin Zheng said, "You both know what happened."

Zhao Lijun said, "I know, we are going to set up a cavalry, so let me and Brother Cheng come." He looked quite excited.

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "You two were both cavalry before they retired. This is rare. In the old time and space, our army had not had many cavalry organization. I didn't expect that there were two retired cavalry in our team, which was not easy."

In the old time and space, cavalry was an important part of the 6th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. As early as the Red Army period, cavalry appeared in the battle sequence. In April 1928, the cavalry team of our army's first cavalry unit, the Northwest Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, was officially established. In 1933, our army established a cavalry regiment. At the heyday of the cavalry, the cavalry unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army had 12 established divisions. There were 55 generals from cavalry, including 2 generals, 8 lieutenant generals, and 45 major generals. Including founding generals Xu Shiyou, Zhang Aiping, and General Liang Xingchu, the commander of the *** army who was praised as the "Long Live Army".

However, after entering modernization, the People's Liberation Army has begun to popularize motorization and mechanization. The war horses and cavalry of that year have been replaced by tanks, armored vehicles, infantry fighting chariots, mechanized and motorized infantry. The combat mode of riding horses to compete on the battlefield has become history. Cavalry as a branch of troops has been abolished in the People's Liberation Army. The entire army only symbolically retained two cavalry battalions and several cavalry companies in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Gansu Military Regions in western China. The First Cavalry Battalion (Bayannur League) and the Second Battalion (Xilingol League) of the Inner Mongolia Military Region are the main cavalry units retained. In order to adapt to the border guard needs of the special natural environment of the northwest border defense, they are mainly responsible for the on-duty patrol, emergency rescue, disaster relief, border construction, and film and television shooting.

Cheng Yajie also nodded and said, "Yes, political commissar. No matter how high the informatization and motorization are, there are certain shortcomings, and they need to be made up for by military and horses. In the old time and space, the biggest advantage of the cavalry troops was that they had strong complex terrain passing capabilities and all-weather combat capabilities. Our country has a vast territory and long border defense lines, especially in the Inner Mongolia grassland and the mountainous areas of the western plateau, some terrain is inconvenient for vehicles to enter and exit, which does require cavalry to complete border control and tasks. For example, information duty machines

Materials require electricity, motorcycle duty equipment requires oil, and cars cannot move without fuel, and war horses do not have this problem, especially the lack of water and food on the grassland, and horses can maintain a good combat state at any time. In fact, although cavalry as a branch has been cancelled, the cavalry has not completely withdrawn from the army. In addition to professional cavalry, all northwest border defense companies have 20 horses. Our cavalry battalion is actually responsible for the riding training tasks of border defense companies officers and soldiers."

Zhao Lijun continued: "In fact, it is not just our country. In the old time and space, Russia also retained a certain number of cavalry troops, and the US ground troops also retained mule and horse transport troops. During the Afghan War, US soldiers also often rode mule and horse to carry out missions."

Qin Zheng said: "Yes, in the information age of the old time and space, the cavalry still has a place to use their power, let alone in this era, the cavalry is an important military force on the battlefield. Therefore, we must establish a powerful cavalry force. You two can be regarded as professionals in this field, which is exactly what we need. I wonder if you two have Xingyue as the commander of the cavalry."

Zhao Lijun stood up suddenly and said, "Report to the political commissar, I am willing, I want to go back to the army if I want to."

Cheng Yajie also stood up and said, "Report to the political commissar, as long as the organization needs it, I will definitely obey the organization's arrangements, and I am willing to return to the army."

Qin Zheng was also very satisfied and said, "Sit down."

After the two sat down, Qin Zheng said, "Very good, you are veterans, so joining the army again is considered demobilization. This procedure still needs to be done, but it is a matter of motion. Your military rank before you retired was lieutenant and second lieutenant. Although the Military Commission just issued a resolution that all the military ranks of travelers were promoted to third level to reward the efforts of the soldiers in the previous stage, this was a resolution before you were demobilized. After the 6th, you all participated in the reserve army and carried out some work to maintain local public order. In addition, I checked the information. You both participated in the battle to attack the old city of Tianjin and made military achievements. After the Military Commission discussed, you two were promoted to one level after the demobilization. Comrade Cheng Yajie, your military rank is captain, Comrade Zhao Lijun, and your military rank is lieutenant. Although it is a little lower, considering that our current cavalry only has one company, and there are many opportunities to make meritorious contributions in the future."

Cheng Yajie said: "I obey the arrangements of the Military Commission."

Zhao Lijun said: "It doesn't matter whether it is promoted or not. As long as I can get back to the army, I can start from the private sector."

Qin Zheng said, "Okay, that's it. Comrade Cheng Yajie, you will be the company commander of the cavalry company; Comrade Zhao Lijun, you will be the deputy company commander, and the formal appointment will be given to you this afternoon. And in a few days, five or six time travel soldiers will be drawn to assist you, but they all do not know how to ride horses and need you to teach them, so your burden is not light, and you have any other requirements."

Cheng Yajie said: "Not yet, but I heard that the soldiers in the cavalry company have been recruited and there are war horses. I hope I can take a look at them first. I must first look at the war horses. In addition, I will not hide the political commissar that I have been discharged from the army for three years and have worked on the ship for two years. Although I occasionally ride a horse, I have retreated a lot compared to when I was in the army. Therefore, it will take some time to find the feeling of being in the army."

Zhao Lijun said: "Yes, yes, I have to practice again. Speaking of which, I have not ridden a horse for almost a year, so I have to find a feeling."

Qin Zheng said, "Okay, now the soldiers and war horses are in Dagukou, and they are temporarily managed by the navy. You can clean up today. Tomorrow, the troops will send you cars to Dagukou to take over the cavalry company. Three days later, other soldiers will come to meet you." After a pause, Qin Zheng said, "I don't know the situation of the cavalry. Can you tell me?"

Cheng Yajie said: "In the old time and space, the organization of our cavalry was that a cavalry battalion had 4 cavalry companies; a cavalry company had 4 platoons, each with 3 squads; each squad had 12 soldiers, divided into 3 combat groups. During tactical training, the chief and deputy squad leader and the combat team leader each led a team, forming a front triangle or rear triangle team-type combat marshal. In most cases, this grouping is easy to defend and attack, and can also minimize casualties. Each soldier is equipped with a military horse, and each squad is equipped with a spare horse, and each battalion is equipped with twenty spare horses. The main training subjects of cavalry are: horse chopping, horse shooting, horse farm equestrian, horse riding over obstacles, field riding, cavalry parade and parades, etc.."

"However, the career of a cavalry starts with raising horses, feeding horses, and serving horses. The war horses need to be fed three times a day. The food is mainly bean cakes, grain crops and forage. If conditions permit, the horses should also be fed eggs. The soldiers themselves feed them. They should take good care of the war horses and drink them well, and they should not get sick. Every day, "Horse Frequent" (walking horses) are not hindered by wind and rain. It also needs to comb the horses and shave their bodies. Not only does it make the horses clean and hygienic, reduce illnesses, and enhance blood circulation, but also contact the war horses. Gaining the trust of the horses is the first level for the cavalry. Each war horse has a different personality and temper. For example, the military horses in the cavalry battalion are not allowed to approach, and they can only ride in military uniforms. The horses also bully the new recruits. When the newcomer gets on his body, it can feel that they will not let you ride honestly. Therefore, every cavalry soldier should be an excellent war horse breeder first."

Zhao Lijun said: "Yes, the scientific community generally believes that horses are as intelligent as children aged four or five years old, and most horses have a personality and temper. If you can't figure it out, it will be difficult to ride on the battlefield. When I first joined the army, the first war horse I gave me was bullied. When I went to lead it, it just stood still. When the veteran went to lead it, it cooperated very obediently to follow it. Later, I went out to 7 o'clock every morning to squeeze the horse, and ran for more than ten or twenty miles. After I came back, I had to pull the horse and drink water, and then scrubbed the horse and walked the horse almost every day.

When I was together, I almost slept in the horse gala. In this way, after half a year, my war horse and I established a relationship. My first war horse in the army won the award when I participated in the cavalry competition. Therefore, when I was older, I was not demobilized. I was in the military camp and only exchanged one war horse for me. So I had two war horses. As a result, I was fed the horses twice every time. I also took two horses out when I was walking the horses. I still remember that when I was demobilized, I added the last fodder to my two war horses. They seemed to know that I was going to go. I hugged them and cried, and they also cried."
