Chapter 214: The Rabble

The geography showed that Alaska was very cold, so the 1st Cavalry Division also had to be reequipped. The military uniforms were padded jackets, leather trousers, woolen military coats, and woolen shoes, all of which were made by the logistics of the expeditionary force by the clothing factory. In addition, each person is equipped with sheepskin gloves and a pair of wool neck covers, which is perfect for keeping out the cold. The Indians changed their clothes into Nangong and Feng Jingzhang and took the opportunity to say goodbye, and on the way back, because the military jeep was ventilated, the cold wind blew in very harshly. "It's so cold here, I'm afraid Alaska will turn into ice!" Nangong muttered.

"Brother, it's so cold that it's not terrible, the key is how this rabble trains, seeing their state, my head is big. Today is December 5th, and the headquarters requires that the departure be in 3 days, and the training on the way is very difficult! The key is whether the Indians can stand it. They are used to being casual, and strict military discipline is not easy to enforce. "Brother, you can just be the instructor, the training task is handed over to me, I like to fiddle with the thorns." After all, I have a good relationship with the Eagle Chieftain, and his subordinates can look up to me. ”

Nangong and Feng Jingzhang walked into the division headquarters, and there was a report outside, only to see an officer walk in. "Brother, let me introduce you, this is the head of the rice regiment, and he will lead the instructor team to be responsible for training the Indians." As Feng Jingzhang introduced the two sides, Commander Mi raised his hand and saluted, and Nangong returned the military salute. Mickey joined Feng Jingzhang's cavalry unit in Lanzhou, and was forced to serve as a soldier for a few oceans at the beginning, and now Mickey has become a staunch Imperial soldier. Because of his outstanding performance and bravery in the Western Expedition, Mickey was promoted to Major Commander.

The next day, Nangong and his subordinates led more than 100 selected instructors. Mighty to the Indian camp. The Eagle Chief was very active, and he led several of his subordinates to stand on the playground in military uniforms and in good spirits. The Eagle Chief and his subordinates, though dressed in a straight uniform, had animal bones on their chests. With a bow and arrows and feathers stuck in his back, the newly issued pistol was actually in his hand. It seems majestic, but how awkward it looks. Nangong dismounted and said: "Look at this rabble!" Captain Mi shook his head sadly and said, "This task is too difficult. ”

"Benefactor, how about I look like a general!" At the first meeting, the eagle chief was triumphant. Seeing the demeanor of the Eagle Chief, Nangong guessed what the other party meant, and without waiting for the translator to speak, Nangong said: "Eagle Chief, now is not a battle. Please put the pistol in the holster. The Eagle Chief looked at the pistol, a little reluctant to put it away, and several of his subordinates also put the pistol in their holsters. Nangong solemnly introduced Chief Instructor Mickey. The two sides simply greeted Nangong and said: "Blow the assembly trumpet, and everyone gathers." ”

An Indian pulled out a bull's horn, and the melodious sound of the horn sounded in the air. I saw the Indian soldiers running out of the school building, and the scene was ridiculous. Some soldiers had rifles in their arms. Some carried rifles on their backs and sabers in their hands. Some simply ran out with everything in their arms. There was laughter in the instructor queue, and Mickey frowned and shouted a reprimand. The Indians were in disarray, and several leaders shouted loudly to stand in line. The Indians began to scramble again, and it was a mess.

"Chief Eagle, an army is not capable of fighting if it does not have strict military discipline. Your subordinates are a rabble. Team spirit is the soul of an army, and a well-trained enemy army cannot be defeated by not fearing death alone. "Benefactor, for the first time, we Indians have formed a regular army. Please bother more. "Chief Eagle, I'm going to train you myself. You have to lead by example. "Benefactor, don't worry, I will be strict with myself." "Eagle Chief, I won't be merciful when I'm training."

The queue is easy to line up, and form several large square lines. The queue is standing, but the height is uneven, and there are all postures. The Eagle Chief was so excited that it was probably the first time in his eyes that his troops were so complete and mighty. "Warriors! Today is a great day, with the gift of the Chinese Imperial Expeditionary Force, the first regular army of our Indians was born. For the sake of the beautiful homeland and peaceful life of the Indians in the future, let us thank our benefactors! "Huhulala, all Indians knelt.

"Eagle Chief, you are now a soldier, and a soldier cannot kneel." Nangong was a little caught off guard. "Benefactor, this is the last time, let me express my heart sincerely. Now give the floor to the benefactor. Nangong stepped forward and shouted: "Listen to my command, all stand up!" The interpreter shouted at the top of his voice, only to see the Indians hula and stand up. First of all, I congratulate the first Indian army on the formation of the American continent, which is your homeland and you have the right to live on your own land. There was cheering from below.

"In order to defend your homeland in the future, you must undergo rigorous military training to be able to defeat the bandits. Standing behind me are the instructors who trained you, and now I will issue military discipline??????。 "Let the Indians rest for a day, and on the third day the army will be mobilized. After the troops were on the road, the cavalry of the 1st Division advanced on the right, and the Indian cavalry advanced on the left. Nangong and the Eagle Chieftain are neck and neck. The fields are covered in snow, crystal clear, revealing the magnificence of the ice and snow.

"Eagle Chief, look at how the Imperial army marches in formation, and then look at your troops." Nangong frowned again. "Benefactor, my army lacks training, and I'm in a hurry." Nangong seemed to remember something: "Eagle chief, I heard from domestic experts that the Indian ancestors were the first to live in northern Asia, and later reached Alaska through the Guò Bering Strait. Our faces resemble each other, which means that we are related by blood. "What you say is true, we do look alike, and I want to tell all the Indians the good news," said the Eagle Chief.

The days are short and the nights are long, and it is dark before 3 o'clock. The division commander Feng Jingzhang ordered the camp, and then he discussed with Nangong that it was too early in the afternoon to train. In addition, the continuous march in the ice and snow and the war horses could not stand it. Therefore, the two of them discussed and decided to start training in the morning tomorrow and march in the afternoon until midnight before camping, so that the marching training would not be delayed. Nangong returned to the Indian camp from the division headquarters, passing by a tent and hearing the sound of men and women enjoying themselves, Nangong was a little puzzled, how could there be a woman? He felt strange and immediately went to the eagle.

"Chief Eagle, how come there are women in your army?" Nangong was blunt. "That's my captain of the 1st brigade, and I approved my new marriage to bring my wife with me." "Military discipline clearly stipulates that family members are not allowed without special circumstances. What if you ask him to bring his family and others ask him to bring his family? Fighting will break out at any time along the way, anything will happen, and it is too dangerous to bring your family and have to stay. "I'll let his wife go back," the eagle saw that Nangong had no doubt and had no choice but to give in.

The next day, the Japanese trumpet and the horn sounded at the same time, and the officers and men of the 1st Cavalry Division were engaged in training, which was actually for the Indians to see. The first military start of the Indians was no less of a headache. The officers and men of the 1st Division had begun to be uniform, and the Indians were still bombarding indiscriminately. Before the training began, Nangong said to Mickey: "Tell your subordinates not to be emotional, they must train strictly, they must be ruthless, and they must know what the rules are." I personally trained the chiefs and captains. ”

Nangong stood in front of the queue and sorted out according to his height, and the eagle chief was in the middle. Nangong said: "First of all, we began to train the formation, and the purpose of training the formation is to cultivate the team spirit of the soldiers. Now I'm going to explain you're going to listen carefully, and then I'm going to do the action. "Stand upright, look to the right, look forward." In order to facilitate the password, these simple phrases Nangong shouted in English, which reduced the interpretation of the narration. Most Indians can understand English. Shouting the second command, a captain's face twisted to the left, obviously resisting, Nangong stepped forward and kicked the captain down.

"Get up and get in the line," Nangong shouted loudly, and the Indian captain barely saw the other party's kick clearly, and his body flew out. This guy saw Nangong Leopard's eyes glaring angrily, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly entered the ranks. After all, the Eagle Chief is young and perceptive, and his movements are very standardized. A few hours passed quickly, and the most prominent team trained by Nangong was in shape. In the end, Nangong asked the Eagle Chief to come out to do a demonstration performance, this guy was probably very interested in queue training, and he actually walked in a decent way.

On the first day of training, the general situation was not good, and the instructors reported that the Indians were too stupid. At the end of the evening march, Nangong and Mickey walked into the instructor's tent. Everyone was gossiping and complaining, Nangong said: "You still can't let go of the horns, you have to understand that being harsh to the Indians is responsible for them." We're going to be in Canada in 10 days, maybe there's fighting, so these 10 days are critical, and we have to give the Indians a new look, you know? Nangong then discussed tomorrow's training plan with Mitch.

The next day, they trained in a queue for two hours, and Nangong was very satisfied. Let them rest for a while. Nangong took the opportunity to encourage the Eagle Chieftain and asked him to train with the team and inspect the training situation himself. Walking to the front of a queue, I found that the instructor was a small man. The small officer gave the order, and a large-shouldered, round-waisted, and imposing Indian soldier in the queue made a deliberate mistake. The little officer ordered him to be punished. Na Cheng wanted the Indian strong man to step forward and throw the little officer on his heels, and then hugged his arms as if to provoke.

The next officer fell not lightly, and his face was flushed and he got up. Nangong walked over and signaled to the Indian strong man, the Indian strong man pounced fiercely, this kid was half a head taller than Nangong, Nangong saw the ferocity of the other party's pounce, and leaned his body with the help of force, and a strong man with a big back flew over his head, and fell to the ground. The strong man was annoyed and angry, and immediately got up and pounced on his waist. Nangong changed his moves, grabbed the opponent's shoulders with both hands and kicked him, and the typical Chinese-style trick strong man flew out again. The kid got up and tried to hug each other with his hands wide open. Nangong quickly turned around and kicked sideways in the strong man's face.

I saw that the strong man's body flew up, and he couldn't move on the ground for a few times. Nangong glanced at the Indian soldiers majestically, and everyone lowered their heads in fright. The next officer gave a thumbs up and said, "Major is awesome!" Nangong made a powerful move, which shocked the Indian soldiers, and the training was soon on the right track. After 5 days, the training began to be divided into three phases, training formation, immediate live firing, and immediate combat. By the time the troops arrived in Seattle, the Indian cavalry was already in shape. (To be continued......)
