After receiving the order, Lu Ming set off directly with the first company of Sun Desheng's cavalry and the second company of Wu Dayong's cavalry.

Of course, before setting off, Lu Ming checked the map in detail and found a suitable location.

He extracted all the wheeled combat vehicles awarded by the system and the thirty Czech semi-automatic rifles he exchanged.

The team began to set off in a mighty manner, and Lu Ming kept talking to Sun Desheng and Wu Dayong along the way.

So far, the two cavalry companies have begun to transfer soldiers to the armored mobile company. They are to learn the skills of driving vehicles.

In this battle, the two cavalry companies showed good combat effectiveness, but looking at the battlefield, Lu Ming also realized that the cavalry was really in decline.

Their targets are large and they cannot exert their firepower advantage when fighting alone, but if they are concentrated, they will suffer heavy casualties.

At present, the only advantage the cavalry battalion maintains is its high mobility.

But this can be completely replaced by vehicles.

So Lu Ming vaccinated them in advance so that they could be mentally prepared.

The two cavalry companies will gradually transform into armored cavalry companies, adding some armored vehicles to them.

The cavalry is not useless, but the conditions of the independent regiment are here.

Therefore, in order to adapt to the war, the two cavalry companies will have to undergo transformation sooner or later.

Both Sun Desheng and Wu Dayong know this.

The combat situation of the independent regiment continues to change, and they no longer engage in guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare and other tactics.

They will undertake important defensive battles and fortified battles, which means that it is difficult for their cavalry to give full play to their greatest advantages.

After all, the cost of raising these two cavalry companies is staggering.

The consumption of these more than 300 cavalry troops can easily support two infantry battalions.

The value of two infantry battalions in defensive and offensive battles cannot be achieved by two cavalry companies.

Under such circumstances, if the two cavalry companies want to survive, they must make changes to adapt to the war.

They must become stronger to prove the significance of their existence, otherwise it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated.

The troops continued to march towards the designated location. About twenty minutes later, the cavalry in charge of reconnaissance returned.

"Battal Commander, we found traces of battle ahead, including discarded weapons and equipment."

The scout cavalry quickly reported, and upon hearing this, Lu Ming had a puzzled expression on his face.

Not far ahead is where he extracted the chariot. Why are there still traces of the battle?

Lu Ming was afraid that something might happen, so he quickly led the cavalry troops forward.

Not long after, eight wheeled chariots appeared in Lu Ming's sight.

There are indeed traces of fighting all around, and there are also many bullet marks on the eight wheeled chariots.

There are also some imitation 38-type, Chinese-style firearms scattered nearby.

"This group of losers in the Jinsui Army will run away as soon as they lose the battle. They dare to throw away any weapons and equipment."

"Who asked Yan Laoxi to have an arsenal? He has as many weapons and equipment as he wants, so of course he doesn't care."

"Yan Laoxi is the most disgusting. He would rather throw away so many weapons and equipment than give them to us."

"Yes, if you give it to us, our combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly enhanced, and we won't end up like this."

After the cavalry discovered this situation, they started talking among themselves before Lu Ming could speak.

In their opinion, these vehicles and equipment must have been abandoned by the Jinsui Army.

Eighty percent of the time, the Jinsui Army was ambushed by the Japanese here, defeated, and then fled for their lives.

Lu Ming looked carefully and realized immediately that this should be deployed by the system.

In this case, it seems more natural for this batch of weapons and equipment to appear here.

"Batalion Commander, these weapons are all good and can still be used."

"Battalion Commander, come here quickly and take a look. The vehicles are all in good condition and there is still ammunition in them."

"What other weapons and equipment do these prodigal sons of the Jinsui Army dare not throw away?"

The cavalry quickly went over to check, and soon their faces showed expressions of joy.

Lu Ming came over and took a closer look, and found that it was indeed the system reward and the weapon he had redeemed.

"Sun Desheng, gather those who can drive together and drive the vehicle back quickly."

"You need to be hidden on the road so that others can't find you. Others will follow me to continue the mission."

Lu Ming called Sun Desheng and immediately issued the order.

Sun Desheng agreed and selected a driver. Soon, eight wheeled chariots started driving directly under the escort of some cavalry.

As for the weapons and ammunition nearby, they were all taken away.

Even the Type 38 rifle copied by the Jinsui Army is a good thing and will not be discarded.

Lu Ming led the troops and began to accelerate towards the designated location. Soon they came to the area where the Eighth Route Army troops and the Shanxi-Sui Army defense area handed over.

By the time they arrived, the welcoming team from the headquarters had already arrived.

The two parties talked for a while and continued to wait.

Not long after, dozens of officers arrived here escorted by a large number of Shanxi-Suiyuan Army troops.

Because they were about to enter the Eighth Route Army's defense area, the leading major general of the Jinsui Army gave an order.

A large number of Shanxi-Sui Army troops returned the same way, and dozens of officers only entered the Eighth Route Army defense area with their adjutants.

The headquarters staff went over to negotiate, and the team began to march.

Because they were all riding war horses, they were very fast.

After marching for a while, the headquarters staff stopped first.

"The 386th Brigade Independent Regiment is nearby. Is anyone from your army willing to go?"

The headquarters staff looked at the dozens of officers of the Jinsui Army and asked directly.

The leading major general of the Jinsui Army looked behind him: "Is anyone among you willing to go to the Independent Regiment?"

"It must be Li Yuntuan, I'm interested in going."

Soon a colonel rode forward on a war horse and said with a calm expression.

"Okay, you, Captain Chu, will go and have a look on behalf of us, learn with humility, work together, and conspire to resist the enemy and protect the Jin Dynasty!"

The Major General of the Jinsui Army gave some instructions, and Chu Yunfei nodded.

The headquarters staff explained to Lu Ming, and Lu Ming dispatched a cavalry platoon to directly escort Chu Yunfei to the Independent Regiment.

While others continued to advance towards the headquarters, Lu Ming led the troops and took on the task of escorting them along the way.

Next, some officers from the Jinsui Army continued to visit various ministries.

There were also personnel from various ministries along the way to assist, and finally the major general of the Jinsui Army came to the headquarters with more than a dozen officers.

After completing the escort mission, Lu Ming also returned with his troops.

By the time they returned to the Independent Group, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

The first thing Lu Ming did when he came back was to go to the armored mobile company. He couldn't wait to check the status of the eight tanks.

After completing the mission of annihilating the Yamazaki Brigade, the system rewarded eight domestically produced wheeled combat vehicles.

Of course, the so-called wheeled combat vehicle is actually an armored vehicle transformed from a truck.

After World War I, people all over the world liked to modify trucks. After all, they were high-quality and cheap.

Although the country is lagging behind, such transformation does not require core technology and can be mastered quickly.

Of these eight wheeled tanks, four are large six-wheeled tanks, equipped with a 37MM artillery gun and a light machine gun.

The other four were previously awarded six-wheeled tanks with two machine guns that could rotate 180 degrees.

Later, Lu Ming used the MG34 machine gun to modify it into a machine gun that could rotate 360 ​​degrees.

After repeated battles, there were originally six such modified vehicles, but now only four remain.

Lu Ming looked at these vehicles and wanted to modify them, but he no longer had the MG34 machine gun.

I have to say that this machine gun is even more perfect when used as a vehicle-mounted machine gun.

In several battles, we performed very stable operations.

The most powerful machine gun shooter in the armored mobile company used the MG34 machine gun to kill nearly 200 Japanese and puppet troops.

"When the points can be redeemed, no matter how many points you have, you have to redeem a few MG34 machine guns for modification."

Lu Ming thought to himself as he looked at the vehicle in front of him and fell into deep thought.

By now Lu Ming had an idea, which was to merge the armored mobile company with the two cavalry companies.

He wanted to add a small number of wheeled combat vehicles to the cavalry force and form three small armored cavalry companies.
