Speaking of horses and soldiers, we have to say cavalry. Cavalry is the oldest class of soldiers in the world.
China was one of the first countries in the world to create cavalry. As early as the Warring States period, King Wuling of Zhao boldly reformed the military system, implemented the "Hufu Riding Shooting", and pioneered cavalry in the Central Plains countries, dominating the world.
The Yuan Dynasty was the heyday of The development of Chinese cavalry, and Genghis Khan and his descendants relied on powerful cavalry to create a vast territory in Chinese history.
The cavalry, once an integral part of our army, has a certain degree of rapidity, impact, and independent combat capability, and its movement is limited by terrain and climate, which is convenient for fighting in plains, plateaus, grasslands and desert areas, and it has played an immeasurable role in the struggle of our army against the enemy.
In April 1928, the first cavalry unit of our army, the cavalry unit of the Northwest Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, was formally established, and in 1933, the cavalry regiment was established.
In February 1936, the Red Fourth Front formed the first cavalry division of our army in the Ganzi area on the Long March Road, which was the most well-equipped and mobile unit of the Red Army at that time.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, our army successively established the Cavalry Regiment of the Central Military Commission, the Cavalry Regiment of the Eighth Route Army Left Behind Corps, the Cavalry Regiment of the 115th Division, the Cavalry Detachment of the 120th Division, the Cavalry Regiment of the 129th Division, and the Suimeng Cavalry Guerrilla Division. The cavalry regiment of the 4th Division of the New Fourth Army on the Huaibei Plain was called the "Red Cossack".

In particular, he raised his saber and shouted "Cavalry Company, Attack!" even though his left arm was cut off by the Japanese army. ”。 The tragic scene of single-handed charging at the Japanese army shocked the audience.
The War of Liberation was the heyday of the development of our cavalry units, reaching a maximum of 13 cavalry divisions. The cavalry of our army played an important role on the Long March Road, in the Inner Mongolia region of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and in the northwestern, northeastern, and northern China battlefields of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
After several major disarmaments, our army has only symbolically retained two cavalry battalions and several cavalry companies in western China. Cavalry has become a specimen of a class of soldiers, and cavalry units have begun to become a symbol of mystery and legend.
Although the cavalry has left us, the bloody nature of the Temayang knife cannot be lost, and the spirit of the "Mongolian horse" will continue to be passed on.
