ps: Thank you for the Night Wind Duming for rewarding 500 starting coins, and thank you for setting sail 888 for rewarding 100 starting coins

In the vast South American grasslands, teams of cavalry are conducting tactical exercises.

A huge Andean eagle hovered high in the sky, its sharp eyes scanning every move on the grassland,

Suddenly, not far from the cavalry training, a hare jumped out, the eagle's eyes were like gods, found the prey, and immediately rushed down from a height of four thousand meters, the high-altitude assault eagle was like a missile, sideways wings and straight towards the hare.

When the crisis came, the hare burst out of its survival instinct, running desperately to dodge, using its keen turning ability to dodge the eagle's three deadly pounces.

The hare was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it ran to a forest, and it was about to enter the forest to escape from the condor.

At this time, the Condor pounced again, but when it was close to the ground, it did not go straight to the hare, but shifted a few meters to the left.

The crisis came again, and the hare subconsciously turned to the left to avoid pursuit, but who knew that he fell into the trap arranged by the eagle in advance, and was caught by the eagle and flew to the sky.

"Battalion commander, Kurosawa caught another rabbit." A cavalryman in training pointed to the Condor as it flew high into the air.

Fang Minghong looked at the Divine Eagle with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Kurosawa is the name given by Li Mingyuan to the Andean Condor, it has been two months since the Condor was shot down by Li Mingyuan, under Li Mingyuan's careful training, the rebellious Condor not only healed its wounds, but was also tamed by Li Mingyuan.

Five days ago, Li Mingyuan released Kurosawa, after two months of cultivation, Kurosawa's energy is more fierce than before, after a day of adaptation to the sky, he captured five rabbits the next day, and these days he has been following the cavalry, waiting for the rabbits who were alarmed by the cavalry to jump out of the net.

"Battalion commander, the brothers have been training for more than 20 days, if we don't discuss with the prince and give us two days off, we can go to the mountains and catch two eagles and come back."

Fang Minghong is not the only one who envies Li Mingyuan's eagle, and one of his platoon commanders also loves the eagle.

"When the battalion commander was a company commander, he said that he would go eagle hunting with his brothers, and now that he has been promoted, the commander can't rely on his debts."

An officer with inside knowledge chimed in.

"I've been so busy training that I've forgotten about it." Fang Minghong smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "You train first, and I'll go to the prince to discuss." After Fang Minghong finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and galloped away.

"Platoon commander, I think the battalion commander is in a hurry than us?" Looking at Fang Minghong, who was impatient to leave, the soldier who asked the question just now was puzzled.

"You don't know this, our battalion commander has three hobbies, namely a good bow, a good horse, and an eagle, and this like eagle started after the son shot down the Andean eagle."

"Brother, I also heard that the battalion commander was going to pass Kurosawa with Shizi in private, but he was driven out by Shizi with a word."

"What did the prince say?" A curious cavalryman next to him craned his neck and asked.

"I'll state it in advance, I told you that you can, but you can't spread it."

"Say it, we'll keep it tight."

"They are all brothers who kill the enemy together, and they can't trust us, don't hide it, you kid."

"Then I'll just say it," the soldiers who were watching imitated Li Mingyuan's tone and said, "Fang Minghong, you kid doesn't love horses like life, and treat your horse as a daughter-in-law." Why did you change your personality today, and I was thinking about my condor, did you see something strange and look down on your Mrs. Ma? ”

"Haha, who let the battalion commander brag to others every day about how good his horse is, otherwise the prince would not call the battalion commander's horse Mrs. Ma." The curious soldier laughed.

"The battalion commander's face must have been flushed at that time, right?"

"Hehe, did you guess wrong, the battalion commander was not only not shy at that time, but also smiled and said: The big landlord's family still has a wife and a concubine, I have a love horse, and of course I want an eagle."

The crowd burst into laughter.

"What are you guys doing? If you don't train seriously, it's not an itchy skin. A rough shout interrupted the discussion of several people, and they hurriedly stopped laughing.

"It turned out to be the brigade leader, which gust of wind blew you here." You don't have to guess everyone to know that the person who came must be Li Dawei, the commander of his own brigade, and the company commander with the highest rank spoke up.

"Lao Tzu is in a good mood today, I specially came to your camp to check, why don't you welcome Lao Tzu?"

"The brigade commander came to inspect our battalion because he valued us, and the brothers were too late to be happy, so how could they not welcome it?" After the company commander finished speaking, he signaled to everyone with his right eye, and everyone understood, and immediately replied neatly, "Welcome to the brigade commander to inspect." ”

"Haha, you boys are flamboyant, why don't you learn from your battalion commander."

Li Dawei's words were different in the hearts of these soldiers.

What to learn from the battalion commander? The battalion commander himself saw the hippie smile of the world, and he also expected us to learn from him.

"Hey, where's your battalion commander?" After Li Dawei finished laughing, he realized that he didn't see Fang Minghong's figure.

"The battalion commander went to find Shizi." A soldier next to him interjected.

When Li Dawei asked these soldiers, he learned that Fang Minghong went to ask Li Mingyuan for leave to hunt eagles.

"If the stinky boy has a good deed, he won't call the boss me, see how I clean him up." Li Dawei said hatefully.

Li Mingyuan's tame Andean Condor shook its majesty in the sky of the Chinese Independence Army every day, and it had long tickled the hearts of many Chinese officers. So Li Dawei and the cavalry next to him gave an order, and they also beat their horses and left.

In the barracks, Li Mingyuan did not go out to train the army today, but stayed in the tent to review the "Infantry Drill Code" that had just been compiled.

More than 20 days have passed since the announcement of the formation of the field army, and the various units have been training for more than half a month, and the special forces, cavalry brigades, and naval units under Li Mingyuan's responsibility have also been handed over to the various independent officers for training after 10 days of training under the personal guidance of Li Mingyuan.

Cavalry brigades and special forces are the knife units in the transfer, and the naval sailors are also of great significance to the transfer operation.

There are many rivers from Paraguay to the south of Brazil, and the Paraná River is the main artery that runs through Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil.

Li Mingyuan selected 500 soldiers who were good at water from the more than 100,000 people in the whole army, plus 500 people selected from the original fleet to be trained together, and finally left 300 people to form a naval special force to carry out a sneak attack mission against Brazilian warships.

In the 21st century, the training of naval special forces is strict and the training cycle is long, but the Chinese Independence Army is about to be transferred, and the time left for sailors to train is only a little more than a month, so Li Mingyuan omitted many training items, and only retained 1,000 meters of armed swimming every day and sneak attack skills training.

Of the 1,000 soldiers selected, 500 sailors had been eliminated in more than 20 days because they had undergone Li Mingyuan's training, while 200 of the 500 selected from the army units had been eliminated. However, the remaining 600 people will have to go through the final round of tests before leaving 300 people to form the naval special forces.

Li Mingyuan's "Infantry Drill Code" is divided into eight articles, from the most basic soldier queue to the large arms of the armed forces to the assembly of operations.

The main content is: the first part is individual soldier queue training, including forward step and queue

Part 2: Individual combat training, that is, individual combat, machine gun shooting and individual combat training.

The main content of the third chapter is the formation, battle, attack, and defense of squads, platoons, companies, and battalions.

The fourth chapter is the use of light machine guns and artillery, and the contents of each chapter are mixed forces dense formation, shooting, attack, and defense.

The fifth chapter is a night battle. Including night attacks, sneak attacks, and counter-sneak attacks.

Part VI regimental unit training, including attack, defense, pursuit, retreat, and night operations.

Chapter VII: Combat Training for Brigade and Divisional Regiments.

Chapter 8: Logistics and transportation support.

The "Infantry Drill Code" explains the principles of war and combat skills from shallow to deep, and is suitable for ordinary soldiers to senior officers.

Li Mingyuan finally checked the "Infantry Drill Code", and after confirming that there were no problems, he handed it to the guards, who took it to the staff officers to copy it, and then distributed it to the Chinese officers to read and study.
