After formulating a preliminary plan, everyone began to take action.
The hundreds of young men from the Kagel tribe under his command were all uniformly dressed in military uniforms. In addition, they were also placed in the new military camp, where they began to train with the new recruits.
In order to allow these people from Outer Mongolia to integrate faster, Staff Hao also set up a literacy class for them to teach some illiterate people to start learning basic cultural knowledge.
Counselor Hao and the others also began to prepare food and grass, part of which was used to support the Beilun tribe and help them survive this cold winter. There is also a part prepared for Xia Yang and the others.
In fact, this time, Xia Yang made a gamble.
He invested a large amount of the resources of the ancient city of Mongolia in the Kagar tribe, an Outer Mongolian tribe, hoping to establish a powerful armed force of his own in Outer Mongolia.
If everything goes well, he might even be able to establish his own territory in Outer Mongolia.
He can even open factories there, build an industrial base, and arm an armored force. All of this is possible.
Xia Yang actually only has a few years to realize this plan. When the Soviet Union and Germany went to war, all domestic resources were used to support the war against Germany, and it was impossible for him to purchase weapons from the Soviet Union.
The day after the meeting, Xia Yang came to Beilun.
The reason why Beilun was found is actually very simple, because Xia Yang wanted to organize a cavalry unit.
But regarding cavalry operations and marches, as well as other details such as raising horses, he needed to ask these Mongolian men who grew up on horses.
Beilun was naturally happy to help Xia Yang. He even specially selected more than ten people with excellent riding skills from among the tribesmen he brought here to teach the cavalry battalion formed by Xia Yang how to ride.
After careful consideration, Xia Yang handed over the position of commander of the cavalry battalion to Zheng Fei.
Before Zheng Fei joined the army, he was actually a horse thief. But he had been a horse thief for only a few months when he was taken away by the Northwest Army as a young man when he was out shopping.
After joining the Northwest Army, he escaped once, but when he returned to the village, he found that all the horse thieves in the village had long since escaped.
So he ran back to the army in despair, and later participated in several small and medium battles. After Tianjin Wei was defeated, he was stopped by Liu Fudong on the road and joined the Fourth Regiment.
The reason why Zheng Feilai was chosen as the commander of the cavalry battalion was mainly because he had rich combat experience, and Zheng Fei was the company commander before, and he was also good at commanding operations.
"You just need to improve your riding skills, and there will be no problem in becoming the commander of this cavalry battalion."
Although the cavalry battalion was established, Xia Yang did not intend to participate in the Xuzhou Battle this time, so he took Zheng Fei and his cavalry battalion with him.
On the one hand, there is less than a month left before departure. It is unrealistic to improve the combat level of this cavalry battalion too much in such a short period of time.
A cavalry battalion without strong actual combat capabilities can hardly play any role on a large-scale battlefield like the Battle of Xuzhou. It's not even an exaggeration to call him cannon fodder.
After Hurer transported the war horses back, these war horses were placed on the hillside to the west of the ancient city of Mongolia.
In addition to horse farms, there are also many places for raising cattle and sheep on the hillside here.
The terrain in Taibai Mountain is relatively complex, with both mountains and forests and pastures. Therefore, the raising of these war horses is not a problem.
A week after the establishment of the cavalry battalion was announced, Xia Yang was invited by Zheng Fei and Beilun to inspect the cavalry battalion stationed halfway up the mountain.
After handing over the cavalry battalion to Beilun and Zheng Fei, Xia Yang went to do other things.
But what Xia Yang didn't expect was that when he walked into the cavalry camp, he saw the cavalry sitting on the horses, with their postures upright and quite imposing.
These cavalrymen, after simple training, are already able to skillfully control the horses under them. However, shooting on horseback cannot guarantee accuracy.
As for their riding and slashing skills, they also need to be further improved.
The cavalry swords they assembled were purchased by Xia Yang from Huangsha Baizhan System. The price of these cavalry knives is not cheap, almost as much as the price of a rifle.
Xia Yang stretched out his hand, stroked the head of a horse, and asked Zheng Fei: "Battle Commander Zheng, are there any difficulties now? Anyway, I will try my best to be satisfied. "
Zheng Fei thought for a while, then leaned into Xia Yang's ear and said, "Brigade leader, I just have a question. This time we go out to fight, can our cavalry battalion go with us?"
But Xia Yang shook his head resolutely and said: "Don't think about this, it's impossible. You guys are precious! The battle on the Xuzhou battlefield will definitely be a big war. I can't guarantee that you will survive to the end."
Zheng Fei also knew that their cavalry battalion was still some distance away from actual combat, so he didn¡¯t say anything more.
Beilun next to him said: "Brigade, if you need more war horses, our Kagel tribe can provide 5,000 war horses in the spring of this year!"
Xia Yang heard this and asked Beilun quite unexpectedly: "Beilun, you have to keep your word! If you really give us 5,000 war horses, will your tribe survive?"
But Beilun patted his chest and said: "Brigade, don't worry, our Kagel tribe's mares are the most productive. What's more, you gave us muskets and helped us train soldiers. By then, none of the nearby tribes will be ours." Our opponents and their horses will become our horses."
Xia Yang said: "Okay, then we will make an agreement."
As he said that, he looked at Zheng Fei and said: "Batalion Commander Zheng, let your troops train well! There are mountains everywhere in northwest Shanxi. The tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils cannot move. When it comes to mobility, they have to rely on soldiers. Your stage will be vast in the future!
"If we go to the Xuzhou battlefield, where there is an endless plain area, how can our cavalry beat the Japanese tanks?" "
Hearing Xia Yang¡¯s words, Zheng Fei immediately saluted Xia Yang and said, ¡°Yes, group seat!¡±
In the northwest region of Shanxi, mountainous terrain occupies the majority. Shanxi in this era was not like in later generations, with various winding roads connecting various regions.
At this time, Shanxi has the most mountain roads. It is precisely because of this that the tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils, and even their trucks, cannot enter the mountains, but can only travel on spacious roads.
