Probably in order to get the cleaning crews done all at once, the camel cavalry phalanx was followed by the real cavalry phalanx, that is, the cavalry on horseback, not the rider on the rare mounts of elephants and camels.

The cavalry phalanx participating in the Republic Day parade is from the Army's 61st Cavalry Regiment, which is considered to be the largest non-ceremonial cavalry unit in existence in the world.

In 1947, India became independent. At that time, there were two main forms of cavalry armament in India, one was the presidential cavalry guard; The other is the cavalry in the princely states of India. In 1951, the Indian government integrated the armed forces of the states into an integral part of the Indian Army, and at the same time, the scattered cavalry forces of the states were reorganized into a number of cavalry units, such as the Gwalior cavalry and the Jodhpur cavalry. In 1953, the Indian Army Headquarters decided to disband these relatively scattered cavalry units and form a new cavalry regiment. On October 1, 1953, the new cavalry regiment was officially established. Since its establishment, the 61st Cavalry Regiment has participated in many wars and military operations, such as the Second Indo-Pakistani War in 1965 and the Third Indo-Pakistani War in 1971.

The 61st Cavalry Regiment also plays a very important role in sports competitions, especially in equestrian events such as polo, horse riding and obstacle crossing, and freestyle riding training. The members of the cavalry regiment have won the Ajuna Award, the highest award for the best athlete in India, several times, four times in polo and five times in equestrian events.

As soon as Shakru finished introducing the famous 61st Cavalry Regiment, Mustafina screamed: "Boss, there really is a phalanx of dogs, oops, these dogs are so cute!" ”

"What kind of dog phalanx, didn't I tell you just now, it's a police dog phalanx." Shakru corrected with a dark face, although he was also complaining frantically in his heart, which brain-dead design was designed to let the dog come up to participate in the parade?

Fortunately, at this time, the conference radio explained for him: "This military dog phalanx includes 36 military dogs, of which 24 are Labradors and 12 German Shepherds, all of them are from the Indian Army Remount Veterinary Unit, and are between 2 and 5 years old. Currently, the Indian Army has a total of 1,200 military dogs, which are mainly divided into 4 breeds: Labradoodles, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, and Large Swiss Mountain Dogs.

The military dogs participating in this parade have undergone strict selection and 4 months of high-intensity training. Back in 1960, the Indian Army established a military dog training school in Uttar Pradesh. Currently, the Remount Veterinary Force Center and Academy are mainly responsible for the basic and advanced training of military dogs and their owners.

The last time the military dogs participated in the parade was in 1963, which means that after 29 years of silence, the military dog phalanx is once again on the King's Avenue of the parade. As part of India's military force, the canine unit has also made significant contributions to military operations. In August 1985, a military dog named Mansi and his owner were killed during a counter-mission in Jammu and Kashmir. ”

After the end of the military dog phalanx, all the parade phalanx has ended, and the venue finally quieted down, but then soft music was played in the radio, and what was even more exaggerated was that many soldiers actually had a yoga blanket in their hands and began to do yoga with the music.

"Boss, what's going on?" Kabaeva asked, stunned, pointing at the soldiers who were doing yoga in a serious way.

"Well, yoga, an ancient fitness activity with a history of 5,000 years, is very popular with the Indian army. Many Indian troops do one hour of yoga exercises a week and learn 14 yoga poses to soothe the nerves. They believed that yoga meditation and traditional yoga posture training could also make soldiers more courageous. Shakru explained stiffly.

After the end of the group yoga,Finally came to the finale of the motorcycle stunt show,In fact, this time Sha Lu came to watch the parade mainly wanted to see this motorcycle stunt,In his previous life, he was shocked by Ah San's motorcycle stacking Arhat skills,It is said that seven or eight people on a motorcycle are like playing。

First of all, it was the radio introduction: "Below is the motorcycle stunt team that will be paraded for the first time on National Day, the motorcycle team "Janbaz" (meaning adventurer in Hindi) from BSF. The fleet was formed in 1990 and trains at the motorized transport school of the Academy of Border Troops. Their show this time is called Daredevil. The show was a demonstration of the Indian Border Guards' ability to not only defend their homeland, but also to show efficiency, precision and dedication in other areas. Now let's enjoy their first show, Aerial Arhats, which will feature 189 riders riding 34 motorcycles at the same time. ”

Immediately after that, a group of stunt riders in blue motorcycle suits began to appear, at the bottom of which were 34 motorcycles in a row, and then dozens of people stood on top of each other, and not only that, but they also dared to do all kinds of actions, and the scene was extremely amazing!

"Boss, it seems that you Indians are very fond of stacking arhats, I have seen this kind of performance in many movies, but none of them are as dangerous as this kind of motorcycle on the road." Everova asked curiously.

"Arhats have always been a favorite in traditional Indian culture. For example, every year on the Hindu Black Day Christmas, in order to celebrate the birthday of the Black God, Hindus will pick up the yogurt jars hanging in the air by stacking arhats. Legend has it that the young Black Sky once stole yogurt hanging on a high place. Another example is the Indian festival of Jianmostami, where people dress up as Lord Krishna and build a ladder to celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna. In the Indian mindset, the traditional project of stacking arhats can make combat effectiveness soar. Shakru explained slowly.

"But such a motorized unit has no actual combat significance at all?"

Shakru shook his head and said, "They weren't originally combat troops!" Don't confuse the motorcycle stunt team in the parade with the motorized troops in the regular army, the difference between them is as far away as two planets, and their role is performative, a bit like the art troupe in your army.

And in the eyes of Indians, motorcycle stunts are not "acrobatics", but a kind of stunts, a kind of stunt performance that evolved from the movements of Hindu asceticism, and is the quintessence of India like yoga.

In fact, not only India, but also the British ** team has special soldiers trained in motorcycle riding and acrobatic skills. There is also a public motorcycle ride show in the UK, where these soldiers are required to compete in the British Army Skills Championships. ”

Next, the Devil Commando performed "Harmony", "Peacock Opening", "Juggling", "Parallel", "Lotus", "Jaguar", "BSF Tree", "Border Flower" and other imaginative combination projects, which won bursts of applause, not to mention others, even Shakru felt that their performance alone was worth the fifty yuan ticket price.
