"Brethren, we are cavalry, and we should be faster than the infantry without horses, and rush forward to overtake the infantry! Rush to the forefront! Come on! ”
This is the words of the cavalry company commander Sun Desheng to the cavalry under his command when Li Yunlong and the Yamazaki Brigade launched a white-knuckle battle charge in "Bright Sword".
As we all know, the cavalry in "Bright Sword" is a "deal" made by Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, and he exchanged five machine guns for a fierce general.
And for this scene, I believe everyone will also wonder a question, that is, is it worth exchanging five machine guns for Sun Desheng?
You must know that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army were very tight, and Li Yunlong's independent regiment had no logistical supplies, so five machine guns could be called a rarity.
But what everyone doesn't know is that in fact, Li Yunlong's deal seems to be a failure, but in fact, it is a steady profit, and this is also the only "transaction" that Ding Wei planted in the hands of the other party.
"A Sure-Beat Deal"
As we all know, the only flaw of Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword" is that he is too temperamental and often disobeys the orders of his superiors on the battlefield.
For example, in the Battle of Cangyunling, which resounded in the northwest of Jin, although Li Yunlong defeated the Bantian United, he was transferred to the clothing factory after the war because he did not follow the route prescribed by the brigade headquarters to break through.
And just when Li Yunlong had just served as the director of the quilt factory on his front foot and was about to pack his luggage and set off, the next second his old comrade-in-arms Ding Wei took over his position as the head of the new regiment.
Seeing Ding Wei's arrival, Li Yunlong instantly regarded him as the object of confiding and spit out all the dissatisfaction in his heart one by one.
And Ding Wei knew that he belonged to "taking advantage of the danger of others", after all, the new regiment was now strong and strong, so he took into account the situation of his old comrades-in-arms, so he made a favor and informed the other party that the puppet army had recently brought in a cavalry battalion.
But what people didn't expect was that Li Yunlong's buttocks were not hot when he came to the quilt factory, and the other half of Kong Jie was removed from his post again, and he was beaten all over by Yamamoto in the Yangcun encounter.
Considering that the morale of the independent regiment is now low, so after some thought, the superiors let Li Yunlong be competent, although he often violated discipline, but he was the number one leader in leading troops.
The first thing Li Yunlong did when he arrived at the Independent Regiment was to take advantage of Ding Wei, send a battalion of troops, and quickly go to the area where the puppet army was stationed nearby, and get back the cavalry equipment of that battalion.
At first, Li Yunlong was still happy about the equipment of this cavalry battalion, after all, the equipment of the Eighth Route Army was relatively scarce during that period, so this batch of cavalry equipment from the puppet army can be said to be very rare.
But as soon as the boiled duck reached his mouth, it was snatched away by the brigade commander, who learned from the grapevine that Li Yunlong had brought in a cavalry battalion, so he asked him to transport two-thirds of the equipment back.
In the end, Li Yunlong, who had no choice, could only tighten his belt to live, and if he couldn't form a cavalry battalion, he would form a cavalry company.
That being said, it became a difficult problem to find who to be the commander of the cavalry company, after all, it was not common for soldiers to have the ability to slash and kill on horseback at that time.
But fortunately, Li Yunlong was in a hurry, and Sun Desheng in the new regiment of his original army came to his mind, and this person was the Eighth Route Army from the National Army like Zhang Dabiao.
It's just that unlike Zhang Dabiao, Sun Desheng once served as a cavalry company commander in the national army, and his ability to ride a horse and slash is very good.
Although Li Yunlong desperately wanted to take Sun Desheng under his command, he was now Ding Wei's soldier, so he could only negotiate with the other party.
You must know that Ding Wei is also a master who only cares about interests, so he also offered a certain bargaining chip for Li Yunlong's request, that is, to take five machine guns.
Seeing this situation, although the equipment of the independent regiment was not rich at this time, he still made this deal ruthlessly, so Sun Desheng came to the independent regiment.
And in this way, a question arises, that is, is it worth exchanging five machine guns for Sun Desheng? Is this deal worth it?
You must know that five machine guns are a lot of expensive weapons for the current independent regiment, and at that time when our soldiers were per capita millet plus rifles, the gold content of machine guns can be imagined, and it is still a full five.
It is no exaggeration to say that five machine guns can definitely be regarded as the equipment of half a regiment, because when Li Yunlong was in the early days of the new regiment, the light and heavy machine guns of the whole regiment combined were only 11.
Not only that, but even the firearms used by the soldiers are all very crotch-pulling Hanyang-made, and their combat effectiveness is very vulnerable.
But what everyone doesn't know is that in fact, Li Yunlong took half of the regiment's equipment to exchange for Sun Desheng, a soldier, which is an absolutely profitable business.
"Sun Desheng is equivalent to an entire cavalry company"
The first reason is that Sun Desheng is equivalent to the entire cavalry company, you must know that although Li Yunlong has a cavalry company at the moment, there are no soldiers who can train cavalry.
If he didn't exchange Sun Desheng back, it would mean that the cavalry company he captured was purely an ornament.
Because cavalry without professional training is like a lamb to the slaughter on the battlefield, useless and may even be of great help.
Therefore, Sun Desheng is equivalent to an entire cavalry company, although five machine guns is indeed not a small number, but it is still very cost-effective to change an entire cavalry company.
"Saved the life of the Independence Regiment"
The second reason is that Sun Desheng indirectly saved the life of the independent regiment, so that the troops could minimize casualties and successfully break through.
During the Japanese army's sweep, Li Yunlong deployed a plan of liberalization and dispersion to break through in order to allow more people to successfully break through, as long as he could escape, he could use any means.
With the passage of time, the Japanese army also knew Li Yunlong's tactics, so they specially sent a cavalry to deal with the regimental troops of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
You must know that the location where the independent regiment broke through was very flat, there were no ravines and ravines, and the regimental troops where Li Yunlong belonged were all lightly armed infantry, so the Japanese cavalry had an absolute advantage.
But what people didn't expect was that at this critical moment, the cavalry company led by Sun Desheng stood up, they first formed a stalemate with the Japanese cavalry company, and then in order to cover the withdrawal of the regimental troops, they immediately used themselves as bait and ran into the distance.
Without the Japanese cavalry to chase after them, the state of the independent regiment returned to its original state, and Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang quickly led their troops to break through.
But the other half of Sun Desheng was not so lucky, in order to buy enough time for the regimental troops to break through, he led the cavalry company until the last person was killed.
Through this scene, we can see that in fact, the transaction made by Li Yunlong is completely profitable, because Sun Desheng not only saved his life, but also saved the life of the entire independent regiment.
