Section 1001 Blues in Action (III)
The training was in full swing, and the confrontation between the Bombay Blues and the participating units continued, and Kunal and the Indians learned a lesson that war could still be fought like this!
Brigade raids, squad battles, midnight sneak attacks, ambushes...... If it weren't for the fact that their backbone force was Chinese, and the officers and non-commissioned officers were Chinese, they supported the troops, cheered them up from time to time, and applied both soft and hard measures, but I was afraid that the Indians would rather not be soldiers than face such an enemy.
The Blues are friendly forces, so it was an eye-opener for Kunal to visit the Blues garrison with his commander.
The troops of the Blue Army are quite flexible, the officers at the grassroots level are more autonomous, and the soldiers are also highly involved; they do not need to be watched by the higher-level leading organs in their daily training, and the officers and men often "fight" over the combat plan.
There was a heated discussion before the war, and the same was true for the post-war review, from individual soldiers to individual equipment, squad platoons, battalions and brigades, from the size of the battle damage, the use of terrain and whether typical actions were in place.
They also trained very hard, and the intensity of the training made the Indians ashamed, and such a long period of training and grinding allowed the Blues to go into the "fight" with confidence.
The officer of the Blue Army said very clearly: "If you beat the gongs and drums and go back happily, hello, hello, hello, everyone, our army has no value of existence, because you can't find the problem, so you have to be tough, our Blue Army will be fierce, and will not let you go!" ”
"The value of the existence of the Blue Army is not to defeat you, but to hone you better and make you know how to fight!" The officer said that the subtext was that if it weren't for such a training, he was afraid that if he went to the battlefield, with the qualifications of the Indians, the rout would be more than enough!
The "Tatar cavalry" in the Blue Army is played by the Punjabi, Kunal has a relationship with them, only to learn that every time the participating troops lose, they will be deducted some allowances, and those allowances will become subsidies for the Blue Army, so you participating troops can't afford to lose!
Nai's!
The salary is not much, and if you deduct one-third of the floating allowance, you will have to do it!
In terms of the officers' concept of actual combat, the deployment of troops, the movement of troops, the awareness of the enemy's situation, and the support on the battlefield, the battle loss rate is getting lower and lower, and the troops are getting better and better.
They have learned to walk in groups when the squad is dispatched, know how to carefully observe the signs of abnormality around them to see if there are any traps laid by the enemy, learn to find the problem from the little abnormal things, send sharp soldiers to search, leave enough sentries on guard, and officers and non-commissioned officers work tirelessly to check their posts from time to time, and they have gradually matured.
The Chinese gradually grasped the lifeblood of the Indians, and they were afraid of deducting money!
He is not afraid of you hitting him, but if the money is deducted, they will be afraid.
For example, the phenomenon of lateness, Indians are very lazy, and tardiness is commonplace, but as long as the money is deducted, they are very concerned, so when the Chinese use Indians, the salary is linked to the performance, and the effect is quite good.
"Kill!"
In the distance, the Tatar cavalry roared, and the clouds of smoke rose half a day high, surging like teeth and claws.
Stepping on the exercise ground again, the familiar scene, the familiar enemy, the difference is that the Indian soldiers finally look like each other!
The Maratha battalion, under the command of Kunal, formed first and lined up the battle line, where three platoons of soldiers were arrayed.
Seeing that they were ready for battle, the Tatars were not in a hurry to clash and sent small troops to test them.
Kunal, calmly and accurately judging the distance, did not give the order to open fire.
The soldiers were silent and calm.
After rigorous training, the soldiers trusted their superiors, and even when the Tatars fired arrows at them and the arrows fell on them, they did not fire.
Only after entering the firing range did Kunal give the order to shoot.
There was a bang, and a volley of bullets fell on the opposing squad.
The fight caused people to shout and neigh, and a signal flare hit the sky in the distance, indicating that the squad was judged to have lost its combat effectiveness and withdrew from the exercise.
So the Tatars came to the Maratha battalion and flew in unison, and the soldiers of the Maratha battalion immediately formed a circle to resist and attack the Tatars.
The Tatars fired arrows indiscriminately, the Maratha battalion was in good formation, the muskets were constantly firing, and their bullets were not powerful enough, and the judges in the distance judged their success mainly by their response and the sparse sound of the gunfire.
It can't be done very accurately, after all, this is a drill.
In the distance, the sound of gold was heard, indicating the end of the exercise.
As a member of the judging team, he congratulated the Marathi battalion on its pass, saying: "The exercise is the closest training to actual combat, but it is definitely not a real battlefield, so this achievement does not mean that you will be able to succeed on the battlefield, there are many rapidly changing situations on the battlefield, and we need to go through the test of blood and fire, and we still have a long way to go." ”
……
A new exercise began, this time with a change of venue, with the Maratha battalion defending a section of a long wall three meters high, two meters wide and 200 meters long.
No sooner had they climbed the wall than they saw a great crowd of "enemies" carrying ladders rushing in like a tidal wave, and as far as they could see, good fellows, there were at least two thousand of them from experience!
It was too much to look up to the Maratha battalion, with a force of more than 400 men and less than 500 men to deal with so many enemies.
Worse things happened, all the Chinese commanders and non-commissioned officers in the army had just been transferred by military order, and the Maratha battalion was allocated for the all-India class.
The Maratha battalion was once again caught in the nightmare of its first entry into the exercise ground, with the officers unable to call the soldiers and the soldiers in disarray.
Without the backbone of the Chinese, the Indian soldiers would simply not be able to fight!
Needless to say, the "enemy" rushed to the wall, and the soldiers of the Maratha battalion were so frightened that they jumped down and landed heavily one after another, fortunately it was three meters high, and if it was ten meters of the city wall, they would dare to jump down?
The head of the senior security regiment was so angry that he felt like he wanted to hit the wall, he listlessly took out ten silver dollars and handed them to a staff officer next to him, who smiled so hard that he said, "Thank you for your attention!" Next time, as long as it's Indian, I'll buy them and lose! ”
He made a bet with the staff officer, and the staff officer said that without the support of the Chinese, those Indian soldiers would be like dogs without their masters, and they would not have the courage to face a strong enemy at all, and guarantee their defeat, and if they did not believe it, they would bet ten silver dollars.
I really don't believe it, I spent a lot of effort in the Maratha camp, and the level of this camp has risen steadily, even better than the Sikh camp, but I didn't expect to be beaten back to its original form after such a encounter!
He found those Indian officers and said with hatred: "What are you panicking about, take out your usual ability, fight for a while, and then slowly retreat, even if you win!" ”
Kunal was extremely ashamed, but he said honestly: "I don't know why, as soon as the commanders are not around, I have a feeling of impetuousness and panic, I am so dizzy!" ”
Yes, dizzy, there will be no war!
Seniority shook her head with a wry smile!
Therefore, the commanders strengthened the training of Indian soldiers, and let them go out in "all India classes" to train them in independent combat power when they did not have Chinese commanders.
As a result, the performance of the Indians stunned the Chinese chiefs!
