Chapter 184 Cavalry

The country's cold wind roared and flew above the sea, and the sea struggled under the wind:

Looking around, you can only see a gray area.

It's raining!

On the sea of ​​the northern country in November, the rain seemed to be a series of sharp swords, constantly destroying the Pacific Fleet that was advancing through the wind and rain.

The white light of the waves flashed like an illusion in the darkness, as if the sea was blinking and the sea was foaming at the mouth.

Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang, commander of the Pacific Fleet, stood in front of the window wearing a white-haired lint wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool wool

Just two hours ago, the Pacific Fleet successfully received life-saving supplies - cotton oxidation at the mouth of the Tumen River.

When all the officers and soldiers of the Pacific Fleet saw a set of cotton roosting in their hands, they were all so happy that they almost burst into tears. The officers and soldiers of the fleet who were not afraid of death or fatigue could not stop the cold created by God.

"This rain should be the last rain before the ice is frozen. After the rain stops, the weather will be even colder." Lin Tai, who was standing beside him, said.

The folk experience is that autumn rain and cold. As long as you are not a person living in the tropical region, you will understand the meaning.

Fortunately, Wang Youcai and Hunchun guarded Yongshan to deliver the cold-resistant cotton coat. Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang comforted himself in a small heart.

However, in order to thank Yongshan for its strong support, the soldiers in other places actually asked the soldiers to take off their cotton coats and also wanted to keep the officers and soldiers of the fleet warm.

Although he knew that Yongshan did it on purpose, he still agreed to his request to send troops. He allowed the border troops in Jilin Town to eliminate heavy equipment and board the ship to accompany him.

Fortunately, the Pacific Fleet is large enough. It is convenient for the warships to carry 5,000 border troops in the town. Originally, Yongshan was preparing to lead 5,000 cavalry teams. However, Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang considered that time and place were not allowed. Finally, under the temptation of the northern cavalry assault combat in Yongshan, Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang finally agreed to carry 3,000 war horses with the transport ship.

However, the interests are equal. Lin Jianzhang's advantage in doing this is that he not only strengthened his own strength. At the same time, although the combat power of these five thousand Qing troops in the border town is higher than that of the Qing army in other places, he is still far behind the 6th Navy team in the fleet.

Whether it is equipment, training quality, and local commanders at all levels, are far inferior to the 6th Navy team. However, the victory is that they are local tyrants and are not afraid of the severe cold. In this regard, I am afraid that all the local troops at Zhang Yunfei are unable to reach the level in a short period of time.

Let southerners adapt to the coldness of the north, which cannot be achieved by months of intensive training.

Under the explanation of Lin Taizeng and others, Lin Jianzhang also understood the role of these three thousand cavalry teams. On the battlefield in the northern region, the combat and penetration capabilities of the cavalry have never been missing.

Usually, they are responsible for frontal assault, roundabout encirclement, pursuit, raid and other tasks. Their actions are light and quick, and are less affected by the terrain and weather. In history, cavalry was once the main combat armies of the 6th Army. From foreign eras until the end of the 19th century, the local personnel in the ** teams participating in the war were generally cavalry.

During World War I, Russia all organized cavalry armies.

During World War II, the Soviet army had 17 cavalry troops and more than 80 cavalry divisions. The heyday of cavalry in Chinese history was the Yuan Dynasty, and the cavalry troops were mainly equipped with bows and arrows, sabers, javelins, tomahawks, etc. During the Republic of China, the cavalry reached more than 20 divisions at the highest.

The cavalry of the Chinese People's Liberation Army established the first cavalry unit in 1928 to the late period of the Liberation War, and the entire army expanded to 12 cavalry divisions.

The glorious period of the cavalry was in the last few years of the late 19th century, but after the emergence of Liandi Rifle replaced the early single musket, the magazine-type rifle replaced the single-load rifle, the horse-distance combat troops gradually appeared to have no room for resistance when facing the infantry.

However, as of now, there are only Germany, Honolulu and some British teams in the world equipped with advanced magazine rifles, while Russia is equipped with backward single-loading rifles. Therefore, for the Russian team, it is still difficult to resist when encountering a cavalry's breakthrough attack.

In fact, as far as China's national conditions are concerned, as far east state, Russia, Qing Dynasty and Japan are all poor countries. History has proved that in the past half a century, they have not had the money to mechanize a lot.

The cavalry teams still occupied a considerable share in Japan and the Soviet Union during World War II.

Therefore, during this period, cavalry was still the main force on the battlefield, but it was hard to say in a few years. In the Battle of Manila a few months ago, foreigners knew the advantage of magazine rifles over single rifles, and countries would soon start to be equipped. This advantage will change the current cavalry tactical thinking.

Looking at the various levels of naval guns and important facilities outside the warship, they were covered with gray rainproof covers, and the Beiyang Navy generals in the cabin were all amazed.

When the Beiyang Navy formed an army, it was not easy to prevent damage to the pipes due to lack of damage.

After a winter rain in winter that year, almost all the exposed warships were damaged by ice. At that time, there was no dock in China that could be repaired for Beiyang warships, which almost made the newly established Beiyang Navy almost disabled. He had no choice but to ask for help from Japan and go to Japan for repair.

The Japanese learned all the assets of the Beiyang Navy and planted the seeds of war and the root of defeat.

"Fortunately, even if Lord Yongshan brought us cotton coats, otherwise we would have to run to the boiler room to stay! Thank you so much to Lord Yongshan!" Chief of Staff Xu said.

Yongshan, who was so happy, hurried and humbly said: "It's all for the country, don't be so polite!"

Lin Taizeng, Liu Buchan and others looked at each other, and were all a little surprised. Yongshan, who has always been a man of Manchu, has become modest.

However, since the problem of cold protection has been solved and new forces have joined, everyone is happy.

Hawaii is still beautiful in November, with beautiful sunshine reflecting the sparkling sea, everything is so beautiful.

Except for the Great Island of Hawaii, the entire Hawaii still retains the architectural style of the native Hawaiian city, and all other places have become architectural complexes that combine Chinese and Western styles.

The ancient Chinese architectural style combined with the spire columns of Western countries makes Honolulu a unique city.

As the British and Bundesliga war continued to expand, the British 6th Army had more and more orders in Honolulu. From the initial order of single arms and weapons to the current various strategic materials, such as alcohol for disinfection, Chinese-style Chinese medicine drugs, and even woolen wool used for military uniforms, they have become the targets of the British side to plunder.

In the Pearl Harbor Naval Base, except for some patrol gunboats, they were all occupied by the British Royal Navy. There were huge battleships, heavy cruisers, armored cruisers, light cruisers, and a large number of fast destroyers. At the highest number, it reached a record of 135 ships on the same day.

The Pearl Harbor Naval Base is waving, and the commercial ports outside the base gather merchant ships and transport ships from all over the world. Since the Pearl Harbor Naval Base was completed, the Honolulu government has passed the decision to open a commercial port outside the port. Today, Oahu is prosperous, and almost all the materials needed by countries can be obtained here. For this reason, Zhang Yunfei specifically approved the establishment of a special world trade center in Honolulu, promoting Honolulu to become a commercial center and shipping center in the Asia-US Pacific region.

Of course, Zhang Yunfei also has the desire to make Honolulu a financial center, but that is just a goal. However, Honolulu can be achieved in a short period of time as a world trade center and shipping center. It has already begun to take shape, and it only takes about ten years to develop.

Honolulu's tellings also proud of the huge deterrence of the Pearl Harbor Fortress and the assistance of the Pacific Fleet. As a steel hedgehog in the Pacific Ocean, the ever-sinking multi-turret temple, Oahu gives merchants from all over the world the most direct protection. In addition, Honolulu's various novel and profitable commodities have made merchants from all over the world rush here madly.

Zhang Yunfei's guidance to these unscrupulous businessmen is that as long as they do not harm the vital interests of the Chinese, as long as they can make money, everything can be negotiated, provided that the money in your pocket is enough.

Such policy induction has made the southern part of Oahu a paradise for merchants. Merchant ships from various countries gathered, forcing the Honolulu government to continuously open new marinas. Even so, the berths are still tight.

Because of the priority treatment of British merchant ships and military transport ships, most of the docks were occupied by the British. In order to transport military supplies to the South African front, Britain showed the world their strong maritime transportation capabilities. This can be seen on Oahu. There are as many as 100 warships escorted every day, and there are even more transport ships without any edge. There is no way, who will let Honolulu and the British allies? Moreover, the British spent a lot of money to the Honolulu government, and the Honolulu government officials were so happy that they couldn't stop talking, so naturally no one complained.

With the previous few days, Zhang Yunfei returned the new military orders from Britain and Germany to Honolulu in the form of a telegram, this busyness increased.

The Honolulu General Staff was of course happy about these military purchase orders, but the key military secrets must be kept under control.

To this end, Tian Renjie, the chief of staff of the General Staff, issued a special order to combat laboratories and military factories to strictly observe military secrets. As a military export to military powers such as Britain and Germany, Honolulu's competitiveness is still too small and is now just a short lead in new technology.

If you want to maintain this advantage, you must make a fuss about exports.
