328 Killing
Roque knew before that the Indians were muddy and couldn't hold up the wall, but he didn't expect it to be rotten to this extent.
Mars Howard is right, you really can't show any kindness to the Indians, even the slightest help will be taken for granted by the Indians, they will not be grateful, they will only kick their noses in the face, Roque now knows very well.
The obstacle was removed, and the troops moved on, and Mars Howard ordered the Indian company to set off first, which immediately caused resistance from the Indian soldiers.
"Major, I'm afraid we can't do that, or the soldiers will mutinied." One captain confessed to Mars Howard that soldiers of Indian origin simply did not possess such abilities.
"Then shoot them all, and if anyone dares to disobey orders, then enforce battlefield discipline!" Mars Howard was murderous, and his patience with soldiers of Indian origin had reached its limit.
Roque looked at those Indian soldiers who were really speechless, they showed no self-esteem, let the white officers scold and beat, did not resist, but also absolutely did not cooperate, not only the officers and soldiers of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, even the Gurkha soldiers were full of mocking sneers to the Indian soldiers.
"Forget it, Major, the most important thing now is to complete the mission." Roque didn't want to continue the stalemate, the Indian soldiers were like that, they couldn't have performed better, they really couldn't, Roque was going to let the new 1st Cavalry Division A Company serve as the striker.
"Now you know why India is so chaotic, Lord, it is because of these soldiers of Indian origin that the situation in India is so out of control." Mars Howard was simply distressed, these soldiers of Indian origin were not paid low, and the money was better for dogs than for soldiers.
At the very least, the dog will not disobey the orders of its owner!
In the end, it was a company of Gurkha soldiers who acted as the vanguard, and Roque sent two armored vehicles as support, and the whole army continued to advance towards Nakra in battle formation.
Even in the most basic battle formations, soldiers of Indian origin could not complete it, and many soldiers even carried their rifles on their shoulders, with no intention of preparing for battle.
Roque simply abandoned the company of these Indian soldiers, as if they didn't exist, as long as they didn't lag behind.
In fact, the so-called "rebel army" was very weak, many of them did not even have weapons, they were simply ragged peasants, and when the troops arrived in Nakra, they could not find out where the enemy was, and those civilians who were immersed in looting and could not extricate themselves saw the arrival of the large army and scattered in a hurry, without any organized resistance at all.
Lakshmi's home was devastated, even the gate was demolished and taken away by the mob, the house was looted, several older women were lying naked on the ground in the courtyard, and the younger women had been robbed, and their fate was self-evident.
Lakshmi rushed into the house wailing, not to visit the poor women, but to check the warehouse in the side yard.
The warehouse was empty, of course, too, and Lakshmi sat at the door of the warehouse and cried, not caring where the young women in the family had gone.
Roque couldn't bear it, and asked the nurse to bring clothes to the poor women.
What chilled Roque was that all the soldiers of Indian origin and the Gurkha soldiers seemed to be accustomed to all this, the Gurkha soldiers were better and could turn a blind eye, and those Indian soldiers, looking at those women, were full of evil feelings, which made Roque really unbearable.
"Put down what you have in your hands, are you still not a soldier? Are you a robber? There was a roar from the next room.
Roque and Mars Howard went over to find that two soldiers of Indian origin had ripped the curtains off the room and surrounded them, and two soldiers from the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division were angrily berating them.
To Roque's anger, there was no remorse on the faces of the two Indian soldiers, who were about to push away the soldiers of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division and leave.
While Roque was still sneering, Mars Howard directly pulled out his pistol.
"Bastard, I'm going to shoot you!" Mars Howard couldn't afford to lose this man.
The two soldiers tried to remove the rifles from their shoulders.
As a result, he was smashed to the ground by the soldiers of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division next to him with the butt of his gun.
"Bastard, tie up, tie up, gather troops, I want to correct the law on the spot!" Mars Howard was furious, and the actions of these two soldiers broke through Mars Howard's bottom line.
When the troops assembled, Roque was surprised to find that several soldiers were wrapped in curtains or bed sheets, some of them were carrying bags, and two soldiers were carrying chickens in their hands.
Not to mention Mars Howard now, even Roque felt a fever on his face.
As if he had finally found a place to vent, Lakshmi rushed up crying and scuffled with an Indian soldier carrying a chicken.
Mars Howard's face turned grim, and he strode up to the soldier who was scuffling with Lakshmi, put his pistol against the soldier's head, and brazenly pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The gunfire was terrible, many Indian soldiers were trembling, and Lakshmi, who was still wailing just now, was covered in blood and sat on the ground in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Mars Howard did not hesitate, and walked behind another soldier with a sheet around him, put his pistol against the back of the soldier's head, and continued to pull the trigger.
Bang!
呯 - 呯呯 ——
After the six rounds were fired, Mars Howard was still unrelieved, and broke the pistol and began to reload the bullets, apparently to continue the execution.
"Enough majors, if they make a mistake, there will naturally be a military court to punish them." Roque doesn't recommend lynching, which doesn't really solve the problem.
"It's a shame, I've been in the army for 20 years, and I've never experienced anything like this-" Mars Howard was trembling, he probably didn't participate in the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and according to his standards, all soldiers who participated in the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance would be shot.
"Alright, get off their guns, press them into the armored car, and deal with it when we get back to Dhaka." Roque certainly wouldn't spare these undisciplined soldiers of Indian origin, but such executions were clearly illegal.
"Sir, we're surrounded—" Guan Jing leaned over to Roque's side and said softly.
Roke walked out the door, only to find that Lakshmi's mansion was surrounded by Indians.
These Indians should not be thugs, but it is not easy to say, although they are unarmed, they are looking at the soldiers of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division with hatred, the women and children in the innermost perimeter, and then the men on the periphery, many children who are obviously not yet adults, and they also look at the soldiers who are on the alert with the same hateful gaze.
It was the first time for Roque to experience this kind of thing, and his brain was a little confused for a moment.
Or Mars Howard was quick to react.
"Prepare for battle!" Mars Howard's order made Roque secretly frightened.
The soldiers of Indian origin did not react, and the Gurkha soldiers reacted quickly and immediately mounted their heavy machine guns.
"Lord, we can't hesitate to ask for permission to shoot." Mars Howard was very decisive.
But Roque can't treat human life as a mustard, the closest to the heavy machine gun are women and children, once the gun is fired-
The consequences even Roque couldn't imagine.
"Get out of the way immediately, they will all go to their own homes, and they are not allowed to gather here, otherwise they will be dealt with as rioters!" Mars Howard warns those Indians around him.
"Get ready for battle—" Roque commanded Guan Jing softly.
It was obvious that the heavy machine gunner on the armored vehicle next to him was pulling the bolt, and he could hear it very clearly when he pulled it, but he didn't let go for a long time.
"Major, don't shoot unless necessary, disperse them." Roque did not dare to give the order to shoot, and the Gurkha mercenaries were best known for shooting at unarmed Indians for an hour, killing hundreds and wounding thousands, and the Gurkha mercenaries became infamous.
Mars Howard sneered, raised his pistol and fired two shots into the air: "Give you a minute and disperse immediately, or you will be treated as a thug." ”
It was only at this time that Roque remembered Lakshmi and asked Guan Jing to bring Lakshmi over.
Unexpectedly, Lakshmi had not yet brought it, and the surrounding Indians had already begun to approach the machine-gun position.
Is it true that the Gurkha heavy machine gunners did not dare to shoot?
Knock Knock Knock –
The heavy machine gunner fired warning shots, and the crowd immediately dispersed, the screams of the women mixed with the cries of the children.
Roque had no way to do it now, witnessing someone being squeezed down and trampled by the crowd, but he couldn't help at this time, and if the heavy machine gun continued to fire, even if it was a warning to the sky, it would cause a greater degree of chaos.
By the time the crowd had dispersed and the chaos was over, the square in front of Lakshmi's house was left with shoes and clothes all over the floor, as well as a dozen corpses.
The bodies were all women and children, and in the chaos of the time, casualties were almost inevitable.
"Well, we didn't run in vain, and we killed a dozen bandits—" Mars Howard said with a cold face, and this kind of thing seems to be normal among the troops stationed in India.
"Withdraw, we can't do that." Roque has a bottom line in his heart, and Roque will definitely not ask for this kind of credit.
"Lord, this is India." Mars Howard didn't think there was anything wrong with that, if it was a good citizen, he wouldn't be here.
"Mars, if we want credit—" Roque can't do this kind of thing, of course everyone wants credit, but not in this way.
Mars Howard had not yet spoken, and a fierce gunfire was suddenly heard not far away.
The rebels, or the thugs, finally organized troops to resist, which was actually very inefficient.
"Look, the credit is coming." Roque does not resist this kind of credit, even women and children, as long as they pick up a gun, Roque will not hesitate.
The previous Roque is dead.
