Section 999 Blues in Action (1)

Further training is coming, long-distance training, live-fire exercises!

Kunale led his battalion, under the command of the Chinese commanders, and the first thing to do was habilitation.

Specifically, the Indian soldiers dug trenches, and then bullets flew above their heads, and everyone took turns firing at the opposite trenches, simulating actual combat.

Bullets whizzed overhead, and if you weren't careful, you could get shot if you didn't pay attention to crouching down when it was your turn.

Explosives ignited from time to time, in the sound of explosions, made the atmosphere even more tense.

The pinnacle of it all is "Crossfire!" ”

That is, the officers and soldiers have to pass through a trench, some of which are deep, some are shallow, and everyone should be careful in shallow places, because it is easy to expose their figures, and another unit is slamming their guns over!

Two soldiers were shot when they lifted their butts too high to expose their bodies as they passed through the shallow trenches.

That's live ammunition!

Although it was a charge reduction, and no damm bullets were used, which was not fatal, it was bleeding from the body, which was convenient for the medical soldiers in the army to practice.

Angry, Kunal scolded the two fools loudly and slapped them twice with a leather whip!

Don't look at "CrossFire" is simple, but there are a lot of ways to play.

There is a confrontation between the companies of the base battalion, there is a confrontation between different battalions, and there is a big competition between multiple battalions, which is faster than whom.

It is necessary to be fast and safe, and when the other side passes, the other side shoots and blocks the trenches, so as to increase the actual combat effect.

Naturally, whoever is fast and safe will be rewarded, which stimulates the officers and men to work together.

Kunal's battalion was good, even faster than the Sikh battalion, ranking first.

They were confronting the Sikh battalion, and because the officers and men of the Sikh battalion had a large head and obvious targets, they were shot at the slightest elevation of their heads in the trenches, and the Sikhs were so angry that they choked.

After practicing, they achieved what the Chinese commanders wanted: no one in the two battalions obeyed anyone, and they looked at it like a cross-eyed!

That's how the army is, if you don't obey me, I won't obey you, if the battalions are like a family, the commanders will not be able to sleep.

If "Crossfire" is still gentle, then the excitement comes.

Line up to shoot!

When they marched in the flat ground, they heard a roar, the earth trembled, and the officers and soldiers were at a loss, but the Chinese officers who accompanied them woke up quickly and beckoned the soldiers to immediately line up to organize defense in front of the sound.

They shouted loudly, whipped the soldiers with leather whips, and yelled at them: "Lift your ass and crawl!" ”

The soldiers were in confusion, and the good order of the past was gone!

With great difficulty, the battle line was formed, and in front of them was a large group of nomadic cavalry, and in the Maratha camp someone screamed: "That's the Turkish Tatars!" ”

Tatar hussars, Tatars from the Crimea of the Ottoman Empire!

This is an elite unit that is known for its ability to assault and run long distances.

On the ball!

But these Tatar light cavalry are fake, and Li Laiheng formed the "Blue Army"!

He carefully selected Punjabis who were good at cavalry and archery to form a cavalry unit, armed according to the equipment of the Tatar light cavalry, the armor and helmets on his body, and the weapons in his hands, all of which were imitated as much as possible after the equipment of the Tatar light cavalry, and also according to the tactics of the Tatar light cavalry.

This is an imaginary enemy, specially designed to deal with the army that enters the exercise ground.

Seeing the cavalrymen with their heads covered and their faces covered, they rushed towards them fiercely, and their tall horses made the minds of many Indian soldiers blank!

The cavalrymen raised their bows and shot upwards into the sky.

An arrow light, and the sky darkened.

And the frightened Indian infantry, without even the commander's order, fired first, causing the other nervous soldiers to respond, and the muskets rang out in unison.

The distance was too far, and all the air was hit.

The Maratha battalion musket used a reduced charge, which was not very powerful, and the hit rate of long-range shots could be imagined.

The opponent's bow and arrow fall!

The infantrymen's hearts hung in the air, and the pain relieved them.

The arrow was removed.

Of course, the Chinese are not crazy enough to let others kill their own people, but arrowless arrows are still quite painful to shoot on their bodies because of their kinetic energy.

The cavalry roared and fired or straight around the Maratha battalion, sometimes assaulting, firing arrows incessantly.

The muskets of the Maratha battalion were fired desperately, and they were fighting indiscriminately, but they were completely powerless

In less than ten minutes, the cavalry retreated, and the frightened Maratha battalion was ordered by the regimental commander to announce their annihilation!

Kunale was still not convinced, and Seniority angrily let them look at him.

Oh, only then did I notice the white spots on my body, the other party's arrows were stained with lime, and there were very few people who were not "hit by the arrows".

The Maratha camp then stepped aside, pulled aside and sat on the ground to watch the excitement.

One battalion after another entered the exercise ground, and without knowing it in advance, they were all attacked mercilessly by the Blue Army, and they were wiped out one after another, and none of them were spared!

The Maratha battalion was okay, "dead" together, and was sentenced to a relatively high "high score".

Some battalions were even worse, the soldiers shouted, threw down their flintlock pistols, scattered and fled, and the army was crushed!

Even if the commander shouted loudly, he ran wildly and fled until there was no shadow, and it took a long time to gather the scattered troops.

Even the better-quality Sikh battalions were in disarray and unable to fight back.

The commanders laughed angrily, this is just a drill!

Hao Shaoqi, who was observing on the hill, put down his binoculars and muttered: "Poor exercise, what a shame!" ”

Only then did he understand why Li Laiheng didn't even come, didn't even look at it, even though it was the first battle of the Blue Army he had formed.

Lee Rae-hyung foresaw such an ending.

The battalions of all Indian soldiers were pulled aside, and a new battalion appeared, this was the 418th battalion of the Chinese troops!

From the 41st Division, this unit made a great impression on all Indians.

The 418th Battalion was marching when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and they quickly turned into combat and lined up in three rows.

By the time the cavalry appeared, the officers and men of the 418 battalion were ready for battle.

Even if the opponent's arrow fell on his body, the soldiers of the 418th Battalion did not fire before the commander's order.

When the fire was fired, the gunfire was intensive, and the bullets with reduced charge were fired, which also caused chaos on the other side's horses!

The horses were armoured, and although the bullets were not fatal, the horses were frightened and jumped, and some of the cavalry fell off their horses.

The Indian soldiers watching the battle clapped their hands gloatingly, and were reprimanded by the Chinese commanders: "You are all dead, can the dead still be applauded?" ”

The officers and men of the 418th Battalion were transferred to the ring defense, and the overall movements were skillful, and it could be seen that some recruits were moving slowly, but they were still able to follow the action with non-commissioned officers and veterans.

So the 418th battalion effectively resisted the cavalry, which opened the eyes of the Indian soldiers!

In the commander's comments, each battalion carried out a "review" to explain the gains and losses of the battle, and the Chinese commanders mercilessly criticized them to tears.
