Chapter 531 Militia Training
On the large playground of the Huxin Town Barracks, four infantry battalions lined up neatly.
What is different from previous drills is that in addition to firearms, the soldiers all carry backpacks and rolled blankets, and the backpacks are bulging.
Chief of Staff Schroeder stood on a high platform and lectured the soldiers.
“Master Graiman has repeatedly taught us that if we sweat more in peacetime, we will bleed less in war. For this sentence, veterans who have had combat experience should have a deep understanding of this sentence. The combat skills and auxiliary skills trained will be very useful on the battlefield.”
"Because of this, our Arda army has always attached great importance to daily training. However, just training in the military camp is not enough, so field training is an important part of our training plan."
"In this outdoor training, you will start from Lake Town and pass through the three major territories of Alda, Bailding and Emden. Along the way there will be plains, swamps, forests, hills and other landforms. These are all for you to practice your skills. A good place.”
“In our plan, our training this time will cover many subjects such as field marching, field survival, camping, and live-fire shooting. You must cherish every opportunity to train yourself.”
"Officers and soldiers at all levels must consciously maintain the image of our army. When passing through towns and villages, they must pay special attention to discipline. They are not allowed to harass people. They must be polite when speaking. If there is a need to buy something, they must pay the original price. It is prohibited Instructors and inspectors at all levels must pay strict attention to the above points and supervise those who flirt with other women. Those who violate discipline must be severely punished, and the results of the punishment must be reported to the entire army."
" Lieutenant Colonel Rice will lead the entire team as the overall commander of this training, and everyone must obey his orders.”
Chief of Staff Schroeder chattered on the stage for a long time, and the people below the podium had different thoughts.
Most of the veterans are complaining in their hearts. They know that training in the field is very hard.
But the new recruits who have just joined the army are extremely excited. The garrison in Huxin Town is not allowed to leave the military camp unless there is nothing on weekdays. If they want to go out to play, they can only ask for leave or take weekends off, and they are not allowed to leave the center of the lake. The town is within the limits of the town, so they treated this outdoor training as an outing.
After Schroeder finished his lecture, he ordered the army to set off.
Under the orderly command of the officers, the phalanx transformed into a formation and walked outside the town in the center of the lake. The transportation company driving the carriages and responsible for large items was already waiting for the main force in the suburbs.
Burgan, the director of the training department, watched the troops disappear at the end of the street. He stared blankly at the direction in which the troops disappeared for a while. When he came back to his senses, he found that his right hand was trembling slightly.
Excited? nervous? Or both.
He arranged his clothes and hat, and silently told himself, just follow the original plan, you can do it!
A figure approached him quietly. Burgan heard footsteps, but made no move.
"Master? What should we do next?"
This is a loyal servant arranged by his family to take care of him in Lake Town.
"Go and tell O'Donnell that everything is going well. If there are no accidents next, I will contact him again tomorrow night."
The militiamen were only able to assemble this afternoon. It will take another day to organize them. If nothing happens, the day after tomorrow will be the day to officially start. By then, the troops starting from Huxin Town have already traveled two days. According to the plan of this training—— He, the director of the training department, participated in the formulation of the plan - the first two days were emergency march training, and they would leave Huxin Town for a considerable distance.
......
"Ah! Guys, we finally arrived at Lake Town!"
Zane led one hundred and twenty militiamen from his town to the outskirts of Lake Town. Looking forward, you can already see densely packed buildings.
"Take a break...take a break!"
McGee stuck out his tongue, breathed heavily, and squatted on a big rock on the side of the road. He is the fattest among the entire team, and this journey has really exhausted him.
Someone took the lead, and the others in the team followed suit and sat down by the roadside to rest.
Seeing the appearance of his companions, Zane, the militia captain, frowned tightly. "Guys, you can't be like this again after arriving in Huxin Town. What will happen if the adults in the Lord's Mansion see you like this."
“Huh?” Mikey raised his head and looked at Zane.
"What can I do? Will I get whipped?"
"Get whipped? I tell you, being whipped is just an itch."
Zane raised his voice and spoke loudly Scare the militiamen.
"I heard that in Huxin Town, if a soldier disobeys orders, he will be hanged on the gallows. He may be shot!"
"Cannon... shot?"
This was the first time the militiamen heard this word, "Zane, what is a gunshot execution?"
Zain raised his head high, "The so-called gunshot execution is to execute a prisoner with a cannon. "Cannon! Do you know about cannon?"
"We know!" Saito, the shortest man in the team, shouted, "I heard it from the commander of the military service station. A weapon made by Lord Man from Thor's hammer."
"I know it too!"
"I've heard of it!"
Others also responded in a variety of ways.
"The power of that cannon is incredible!" Zane stared, revealing a terrifying meaning, "The artillery attack is to tie people in front of the muzzle, and then - a bang!"
He opened his arms exaggeratedly and made an explosive movement.
"The person is gone! Or... the person is broken!"
"Ah——!" Hearing the captain say this, everyone showed expressions of fear, especially Fatty McGee. The meat was shaking like chaff. Such an execution would not even leave the whole body intact, just because of disobedience of orders?
It’s so scary!
“So, guys!” Zane warned his militia companions very seriously, “When you arrive in Lake Town, you must follow the rules and regulations, and you can’t be as lax as we are in the town and village. "
"The so-called order execution means that once the order is given, you must act immediately, and no procrastination is allowed."
"The so-called prohibition means that as soon as there is a ban, it will stop immediately. If you are not allowed to do something, you must not do it."
"Do you all understand?"
The militiamen nodded their heads. Like a chicken pecking at rice, "I understand, I understand! Everyone listens to you, captain."
Zain was very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates, but felt a little helpless. These guys, don't scare them. But I really don’t know the importance.
This militia training was not like the past. Everyone stood in military posture on the threshing floor, practiced walking in unison a few times, and waved their swords and guns.
I heard... I heard that the militiamen in Huxin Town are being taught how to practice firearms.
When he thought of this, Zane felt excited.
