It is very rare for the Shengli Port area to arrange large-scale activities for people to gather together, this is for security reasons, and it is necessary to send a large number of military and police personnel to maintain law and order when people gather, and second, many production units have not completely implemented a unified public holiday system, and large-scale public activities will inevitably affect production arrangements. Before that, the actual rally activities initiated by the government can be counted on one hand, one was when the Heitu Port colonization fleet set off, and the other was the launching ceremony of the "Exploration" test ship more than a month ago, and there was also a large-scale onlooker.

However, with the gradual establishment of local social order, large-scale public events are no longer taboo for the Executive Committee, especially some activities that can boost morale and gather people's hearts, such as New Year's celebrations, cross-anniversary celebrations, etc., are likely to be held regularly in the future.

People in the department store poured out of the store, standing on the side of the road and looking. Two columns of black-clad security guards trotted along both sides of the road, standing at intervals to isolate the onlookers to the side of the road. Some ox carts and people who were originally traveling on the road also hurriedly avoided the side of the road under the shouting of the security guards, and completely vacated the main road.

"Look at the docks!" was already a sharp-eyed man shouting.

Li Nai, Yu Dashan and others, who had just walked out of the store, tiptoed to the south pier and saw that four sailboats were parked on both sides of a trestle that had been empty, and a large number of people were disembarking from the boat. Li Nai had been in Shengli Harbor for a long time, and he also knew that the trestle bridge was a special facility of the "Haihan Military Police Department", which was only used for the traffic boats between the port wharf and the military and police of the militia on the east bank of the harbor, and these four ships must be soldiers of the Haihan militia. However, Li Nai had never seen such a large-scale movement of the Haihan militia in the past, could it be that there was a foreign enemy attacking?

This thought only flashed in his mind and was immediately denied, if there was really a foreign enemy, the Executive Committee would definitely not let the people just watch from the streets, at least organize them to retreat to the sturdy and honest No. 1 base or Tiandu, which is located inland.

It was Yu Dashan's explanation that made him immediately understand the reason: "You guys have a good eye today, the heads of the executive committee are going to parade, everyone wait to see the excitement!"

Wang Cai muttered: "How do you know so clearly? The leaders are parading the troops, and the little people are making a lot of fun......

"My nephew is the squad leader of the second company of the militia, he said it himself. In fact, the military parade had been arranged half a month earlier, but it was not publicized to the outside world. Yu Dashan said triumphantly: "Moreover, the leaders also said that this military parade is for us ordinary people to see! The soldiers that the leaders have organized for the militia to train are just to protect our people!"

When Li Nai heard this, he was a little unimpressed, but he trained troops to protect the people, but rather to protect the property of the Haihan people, of course, the definition of this property also includes all the naturalized people in the surrounding area. These people are all the tools of the Haihan people to make money, so naturally they have to be well protected. However, compared with ordinary militia groups, the equipment of the Haihan militia is too rebellious.

Li Nai has recently discovered that the muskets equipped by the Haihan militia are not the same as the arquebuses purchased by "Fu Ruifeng" in the past, and although it is not clear how they work, they seem to be more powerful than the arquebuses. But it is clear that the Haihan people did not intend to sell this "advanced" weapon to the outside world, and Li Nai was also very interested in not taking the initiative to ask Tao Donglai and others about the price. But there is no doubt that the Haihan people have spent a lot of money to arm this militia group, and almost every other day they will conduct a live-fire drill of guns and cannons, and they are ready to fight at any time, and it seems that only one opponent who is underbeaten will appear in front of the Haihan militia.

When Li Nai was thinking wildly, someone squeezed next to him from the crowd and greeted, "Mr. Li, Mr. Tao invites you to go to the city gate of Base No. 1 to watch the ceremony." ”

Li Nai looked back and saw that it was Jiang San and Jiang Kaishen, the followers assigned to him by the Hong Kong District Management Committee, nodded and responded immediately, and arched his hand towards Yu Dashan and Wang Cai, and then followed Jiang San out of the crowd and went to the direction of Base No. 1.

Yu Dashan watched Li Nai's back disappear into the crowd with envy, licked his lips, and said to Wang Cai: "Manager Wang, hurry up and let the guy move two chairs out, and you can see clearly when you stand tall!"

Disembarking from the pier of Port Victory were three militia infantry companies and one artillery company, as well as two companies of militia cadets, currently stationed in the barracks area. In addition, in order to make the parade look more "majestic", hundreds of naturalized citizens who have only received several collective military training will also appear as co-slave troops. They had been notified half a month ago and had begun to prepare for the military parade at the beginning of the new year. But the vast majority of them did not expect that soon after this parade, the militia would set foot on the real battlefield and begin to fulfill the duties of an army.

Although, but not fully equipped, some militia members are still on duty outside of Port Victory. Although the order of the military police department has been issued, when the militia cadets go to these places to change guards, it often takes a certain amount of time to change the work. Of course, it was impossible for the hundreds of soldiers living in North Vietnam to return to Victory Harbor for this parade, but given the rotation system, they were very likely to participate in the New Year's parade next year, in 1629.

In charge of the parade was the training camp chief instructor Gu Wei, who originally wanted Qian Tiandun, who had come back to report on his work, to stay behind to help him organize the ceremony, but because there were also many things to prepare for the next military operation in Heitu Port, Qian Tiandun had already returned to Heitu Port by boat with Gu Kai the day before. In addition to Gu Kai's family member Ruisha, there were also reporters Luo Wudan, who was "dispatched" to other places because of the adjustment of the executive committee's propaganda policy.

Of course, Luo Wudan herself does not necessarily regard this kind of appointment as a distribution, because when the Executive Committee sent her to North Vietnam, she also adjusted her administrative rank, to be precise, she was given the position of "head of the news station in North Vietnam", which sounds very mysterious. Although this position is still only a bare-bones commander for the time being, there is no doubt that this is also the www.biquge.info of Luo Wudan's career, and it is always more promising than her staying in Shengli Harbor as a grassroots reporter.

Qian Tiandun's early departure did not stump Gu Wei, and in the end he still found a deputy to help him organize this military parade. In addition to helping the Gu Wei organize the team, the former cavalry soldier Harugong also had to be responsible for the debut of the latest cavalry platoon under the Military Police Department in the public eye.

The Sanya area is not suitable for raising war horses, but for the needs of future operations, it has to engage in preparations in this regard. After half a year, some horses were purchased from Yazhou, Qiongzhou, Fucheng and other places, and 16 horses were selected from them to form a cavalry platoon, with Halugong himself serving as the platoon commander.

Although the establishment is there, but the combat effectiveness is quite suspicious, except for Halugong himself, the other soldiers not to mention the cavalry, even the first time to ride a horse, all after entering the militia began to learn horsemanship, as for what cavalry tactics such as charging into battle and slashing can not be counted on for the time being. In terms of quality and quantity, it was clear that this newly formed cavalry unit could not be put into use on the frontal battlefield. In his report to the Military Police Department, Ha Lugong also pointed out that the greatest function of this unit at present is probably only to improve the structure of the unit, not to mention the actual combat effectiveness, and if it must be used in battle, then it is best to use it as a tool for summoning orders and guidance, and even reconnaissance tasks are not suitable for this unit to complete.

However, in this military operation against the Annam Civil War, it is very likely that the cavalry platoon will also be sent out as an auxiliary force. Although the topography and climatic conditions of the Indochina Peninsula are not suitable for cavalry combat, cavalry can still play a certain role in small-scale battles in a limited area.

At present, there is a view in the Military Police Department that on the basis of ensuring that the North Vietnamese side will bear the basic military expenses, troops should be stationed on a small scale on the Annam battlefield for a long time to conduct rotational battles, so as to train the troops in actual combat. In addition to the basic infantry, artillery and sailors, cavalry will also be an important branch of the army in the future to conquer the continent. If we wait until we have the strength to intervene in the mainland in the future to start thinking about adding cavalry to the combat formation, then it will be too late. Even if the scale of the cavalry unit at this stage can only be described as mini, the Military Police Department also hopes that there will be a small but fine cavalry unit under its command.

After the soldiers entered the dock in a procession, the squad officers formed a formation and then concentrated in companies. For this military parade, 70 percent of their military training in the past half month has been marching queue exercises. Gu Wei didn't expect their queue to be at the level of the honor guard of later generations, but at least it couldn't look like a group of peasants with their hoes and guns like ordinary militias. Since this militia has been cultivated as a professional unit, the requirements for soldiers naturally have to be from the perspective of professional soldiers.

This kind of transformation from ordinary people to soldiers is not only as simple as changing their skins, but more importantly, it is to establish the consciousness of soldiers at the psychological level. In addition to long-term military training and collective life, participation in actual combat is also a very important means of training. After completing today's military parade, the unit will be trained in the next few days in all its training subjects to prepare for the upcoming actual combat. However, the specific timing of the dispatch of troops will depend on the results of Gu Kai's negotiations with the North Vietnamese side, and the Military Police Department believes that the North Vietnamese regime will make a decision soon under the pressure of the domestic war situation, and the time to send troops will not exceed the end of this month at the latest.

"Assemble in line!" "Two people in close proximity check each other's equipment!" "Look to the right!"

Yu Tiezhu loudly gave orders to his subordinate soldiers, not daring to relax in the slightest. Yu Tiezhu was one of the first naturalized people to be included in the rule of Haihan, and he was also the first batch of people to enter the Haihan militia group, and he could already be regarded as a "veteran" in this young team. Although not in real battles, various military missions have been involved several times. He was directly involved in the initial duty at the Yulinjiao outpost and later on the sea patrol, and was promoted to sergeant in the first batch of militia regiments by virtue of his qualifications, and became the first batch of naturalized civilian grassroots officers. Although he is only a squad leader, in Tiezhu's opinion, this is actually the same level as the "military master" who needs to be looked up to in the past, you must know that even those Yazhou sailors who came to Shengli Harbor saw the people of the Haihan militia group, but they all took the initiative to give three points.

Yu Tiezhu doesn't care whether the nature of the Haihan militia is a private armed force or a ** armed force, now everyone's life is better than before, this is the most important thing. Yu Tiezhu's family, relatives and friends are now all naturalized, and there are also relatives of successful people like Yu Dashan, who have "become famous", which makes Yu Tiezhu full of expectations for his military career. He had heard his instructor say on more than one occasion that within this system, the fastest promoted person must be a soldier, and as long as there is a battle, there will be a lot of opportunities for promotion, and it is not impossible to become a platoon commander, company commander, or even a bigger officer in the future, provided that they must fight bravely and at the same time survive the battle.

Although Yu Tiezhu had never fought in a war, he was fortunate to see the "Haihan Pictures" that only officers and personnel could watch, and he also had a preliminary impression of the cruelty of the war. At the same time, he gradually understood that the purpose of the Haihan chiefs in forming this militia was not just to defend Victory Port. But Yu Tiezhu was not afraid in his heart, but was very eager to experience the taste of blood and fire as soon as possible. At the company headquarters preparation meeting that they attended last night, the officers who served as the commanders of the second company had already informed them that a military operation might be launched in the near future. Of course, the senior officer also made an important statement to them that the target of this military operation would definitely not be the Ming Dynasty.

In Tiezhu's view, the purpose of this public military parade is probably to make the local people mentally prepared for the upcoming war, at least let them know that the combat effectiveness of the Haihan militia is enough to ensure that they can achieve a victorious result, so as not to make the people frightened after learning the news of the war.

After the assembly and preparation of the second militia company where Yu Tiezhu belonged was completed, he was quickly taken away from the dock and put on standby on the scenic avenue leading to the No. 1 base. The vacant space was immediately filled by the artillery company that had just landed ashore, a company of high hopes from the Executive Committee and the Military Police Department, armed with six 6-pounder guns and four 12-pounder guns, all mounted on two-wheeled movable gun mounts and towed by mules as they marched. In their ranks, there were also several heavy flatbed carts transporting ammunition and artillery supporting tools, which basically moved out all the wartime establishments.

At this time, both sides of the landscape avenue were already crowded with people watching the excitement, especially those outsiders, who were very curious about which play the Haihan people were going to sing. While the onlookers were talking, they heard a drum beat, and then quickly slowed down to maintain a fixed rhythm. At the end of the landscape avenue connected to the wharf, the Haihan militia in gray cloth military uniforms began to march in neat steps to the beat of the drums.

These militia soldiers wore rattan helmets, gray cloth uniforms, cowhide belts, leggings on their calves, mille-feuille shoes, an armband embroidered with the words "Haihan People's League" on their left arm, and a small mark on their left chest indicating the company to which the soldiers belonged. Ordinary soldiers also have a red mark on their collars, which is their rank of corporal, and sergeants and sergeants have an additional red mark in turn. As for the more senior crossing officers, they wore the epaulettes uniformly issued by the Military Police Department. If it weren't for the strong sense of disobedience of the rattan helmet, this team would look like a remake of "Tu Balu" from a distance.

The soldiers held their flintlock pistols behind their backs and held the steadyness of the straps that connected the ends of the pistols with one hand. In order to show the effect of might, all the bayonets were specially installed, and a large forest of bayonets shining with white light was indeed very impactful in terms of visual effect. The queue is lined up with six people, each company marches in a rectangular phalanx, and there are special standard-bearers in front of the queue holding a flag embroidered with the establishment of troops, and the momentum is no less than that of the regular army of the Ming Dynasty.

I don't know who started the beginning, and suddenly the crowd of onlookers on both sides of the road began to burst into applause, this kind of catharsis from Haihan immediately formed a chain reaction, a large number of people began to applaud in style, and some people shouted loudly These militia are all from the local area, and there are naturally many acquaintances among the onlookers, and most of the applause is aimed at individuals, but it may not be aimed at this army. However, this sentiment of the people apparently also led the soldiers of the militia group, who involuntarily raised their chins and marched forward with more force.

"This ...... What kind of system is this!" Many outsiders who witnessed the true identity of the Haihan militia for the first time were dumbfounded, and they didn't know how to comment on this armed force that had exceeded the specifications of the militia in their opinion, except that it had no armor, this unit was no less than the Ming Dynasty in terms of military discipline and weapons.

Immediately following the phalanx of the three army companies was the artillery company, these swarthy artillery pieces were more violently striking than the previous bayonet forest, and no one could ignore the fact that the appearance of this light was enough to scare a large number of large killers.

Immediately following the artillery company was the cavalry company, although there were only a dozen war horses, but after being equipped with cavalry scimitars and nearly a foot long cavalry guns, this small cavalry unit still looked quite impressive.
