"As long as you put on the military uniform, you are still a soldier whether you go to the battlefield or not. If you don't go to the battlefield now, it doesn't mean you won't go to the battlefield in the future. People will die in war. Your instructor should be strict with you. I don't think there is anything wrong with it.
It is better to be tired and suffer now than to lose your life on the battlefield in the future. Although failing to complete the training will usually mean you will be hungry or scolded, but if you go to the battlefield, a small negligence will be a big problem.
If you lose your own life, you may even harm the brothers around you."
As the training of the supplementary soldiers has begun, more and more supplementary soldiers have come to Tangcheng to complain, including some veteran gangsters who were not favored by Tangcheng before. The content of the training of the supplementary soldiers is that Tangcheng
Formulated, the defeated troops who were previously integrated by Tang Cheng in Lieduo were also trained in this way. How could Tang Cheng not know the hardships of training, but he did not think that the training content he formulated would be enough to tire people to death, so these came to him
All the supplementary soldiers who complained were turned back.
Every day when the sun rises, the supplementary soldiers must carry heavy weights and start running laps, regardless of wind or rain. Hou San and others who supervise their training joked that this is the morning appetizer. If it is just a morning run, forget it, but this
This kind of weight-bearing running is done three times a day, once every morning, noon and evening. The most annoying thing is that every three days, the weight in their backpacks will increase by one kilogram, and the distance of the running lap will also increase by one kilogram.
kilometers of road.
Replacement soldiers who fail to complete the weight-bearing march training three times in a row within the specified time will be deducted half of the food for one day. This is a punishment given by the instructors to the replenishment soldiers for their negative training. At first, the replenishment soldiers did not care much. Supplement
Although the training in the camp is hard, the food is really good. You can only eat three and a half meals without starving to death. But the supplementary soldiers who have truly experienced the punishment of hunger don’t think so. They still need to accept other things when they are hungry.
training, and you are not allowed to delay, otherwise the entire team of replacement soldiers will be punished.
The 300 supplementary soldiers were trained by Tangcheng for less than half a month before they were punished by the instructors Hou San and others. In order to deal with the instructors' difficulties, these supplementary soldiers from different regions and units tried their best.
All means and methods are used, but the mouse can never defeat the cat. Hou San and Dice, who were born as gangsters, are experts in treating people. Coupled with the eccentric Liu Shitou and the scheming Tan Fei, these commanders are playing tricks on each other.
How could these smart supplementary soldiers be their opponents?
More than half a month of weight-bearing training finally made these originally unruly supplementary soldiers much stronger. The supplementary soldiers were able to complete the training content of Tangcheng's rapid march of 20 kilometers with a load of 20 kilograms. The usually rigid instructors finally showed their strength.
There was a hint of joy. "Distribute uniforms and guns." The supplementary soldiers finally heard the good news. After more than half a month of arduous training, they were finally able to wear the same American military uniforms as the instructors and carry the same kind of weapons on their shoulders.
An M1 rifle that can fire continuously.
"Training your heavy marching is also for your own good. Our joint forces are destined not to act together with the large forces. This means that when encountering the Japanese army, it may be a US military detachment together, or our national army detachment faces it on its own.
Containment of the Japanese army. We are not many in number, so I will not ask you to sacrifice your life to fight against the Japanese army, but I also do not want to be defeated, so when we cannot defeat, I will usually order the troops to retreat and move. At this time,
, your physical strength has become a life-saving straw. If you cannot escape the pursuit of the Japanese army, you will only become dead."
Most of the supplementary soldiers could not accept what Tang Cheng said. Only the veterans with the longest military service would nod their heads frequently. When the situation is not equal, it would be foolish to risk one's own life to fight the Japanese army.
It’s something that only talented people can do. Myanmar is not a country, so why should you risk your own lives to defend the country for the Burmese people? When you can’t defeat them, the right answer is to save your own lives first. Only in this way can you find opportunities to attack the enemy again.
and possible.
All veterans know this, but they dare not say it because they are just big soldiers. But Tangcheng doesn't care. When Huang Hanju left Kunming, he had already brought his American passport, which is now in Mike's hand.
Keep it inside. With this thing, Tang Cheng doesn't care if any more people from the expeditionary force headquarters come to cause trouble for him. "We have few people, so we have to fight and leave quickly, so that the Japanese army can't figure out our intentions and fight with them."
Fighting, the manpower we have is simply not enough to fill the gap between people's teeth."
When Mike convened a meeting with the officers of the two detachments, Tang Cheng made no secret of his experience in guerrilla warfare when he crossed the Yangtze River, and he highly praised this kind of guerrilla warfare that was fast and fast. "The performance and power of American weapons are obvious.
The weapons are superior to those of the Japanese army, but the opponent has a numerical advantage, and the Japanese army's positional warfare tactics are not bad. What we can do is to use the characteristics of small units to move easily, fight in and out with the Japanese army, and attack ruthlessly when we find opportunities
They wait until their arrangements are completely disrupted."
According to the order of the headquarters, the joint force will enter the northern Myanmar area before other troops and open up a site suitable for the establishment of an advance airport for the follow-up troops. Tang Cheng has no objection to this, but he insists that while searching, the surrounding areas should be inspected.
To clear up the Japanese army, it would be best to use the leapfrog tactic mentioned by the US military detachment to attack the Japanese army across the border and attract the attention of the Japanese army in northern Burma to other directions.
The US military has always been proud. Not only did they look down on the British and Chinese troops who were driven out of Burma by the Japanese army, but they also looked down upon the Japanese army. If the Japanese army had not taught the US military a heavy lesson in the Pacific Theater, there might not have been Mike.
The joint force formed. Captain Will, who commanded the US military detachment, was specially transferred from the Pacific Theater. His opinions coincided with Tang Cheng's, but the US military's tactics relied too much on logistical support. Will said that there was no
Without ensuring logistical support, it would be difficult for the US military detachment under his command to attack the Japanese army over long distances.
"According to the order of the headquarters, in March next year, the engineering troops will march into Lieduo and implement the laying of simple roads from Lieduo through the Huiren Mountains into northern Myanmar, so as to prepare for the subsequent large-scale counterattack on Myanmar. Our mission is to
Before the engineering troops advance into Lieduo, find a suitable place to build an advance airport within the Hukang Valley, and eliminate the surrounding Japanese troops to ensure the smooth construction of the airport." Mike's words made Tang Cheng and Will frown at the same time.
, it is now the end of October, which means there is less than 5 months left for them.
"Don't worry so much about logistics support. As long as the terrain conditions permit, I will arrange for planes to airdrop supplies to you, and even arrange a fleet of aircraft to provide fire support for you." Xu saw Tang Cheng and Will's worries, and Mike finally said
There is good news. As long as the supplies are consumed along the way, Tangcheng can guarantee to pass through the Savage Mountain again and successfully enter the Hukang Valley.
After the meeting, Huang Hanju, who had followed Mike to Ramuga for a meeting and accepted the mission, stopped Tang Cheng, "Don't blame Mike. His formation of this joint force was not favored by the command. In order to prove to the big guys,
Due to the capabilities of the joint force, Mike can only accept this mission, otherwise you will be split up by the command." From Huang Hanju's words, Tang Cheng learned that the command issued such a mission because it was actually not optimistic about Mike and the joint force.
No wonder a troop of less than 500 people was allowed to enter the Hukang Valley in advance. I bet it was the big guys at the headquarters who were causing trouble.
"Your sister asked me to tell you, fight if you can. If you can't fight, then withdraw. Our family has enough money to spend. At worst, we won't be soldiers. Our family will take our passports and go to the United States to open a farm.
Don't risk your own life." Huang Hanju's comfort made Tang Cheng feel warm in his heart. At least there were still people who were thinking about him. Nodding hard, Tang Cheng said goodbye to Huang Hanju and returned to his camp, where he learned that Mike had helped
When Huang Hanju and his family obtained American passports, Tang Cheng was happy for several days, but he did not expect that his elder sister had long been thinking about going to the United States to open a farm.
"This is the mission. Starting today, I will arrange for people from the US military detachment to conduct tactical training for the brothers. In particular, sign language and bazooka training must be paid close attention to, as well as the use of walkie-talkies and radios. It is not said that everyone can at least know it.
Everyone in the company headquarters must be able to use these two things, maybe we will have to rely on them to save our lives." Tang Cheng, who returned to the camp, called a meeting with all his officers and informed Mike of the new mission he had accepted.
Hou San and others had different reactions to this. Some said they were going through the Savage Mountain now, so they could train the supplementary troops while walking, and they would be able to train the supplementary troops until they left the Savage Mountain. Of course, some said they would wait until the supplementary troops were trained.
If we set out with the US military detachment, at least we would have to take care of each other so that we would not be left alone when encountering the Japanese army. Tang Cheng did not express his position on either reaction, but only gave instructions on the following training content for the supplementary troops.
, and announced the adjournment of the meeting.
"I also think we should prepare early. Time waits for no one. We not only have to cross the Crossing Mountains, but also open up the land needed for the forward airport in the Hukang Valley. Only four months may not be enough." In the war room.
When only Hou San and Tan Fei were left, Tang Cheng finally expressed his plan with great concern.
"The strength of our detachment is only 200 people. We can't always stay in Lieduo to train those supplementary soldiers. Besides, there are no casualties in the detachment, and the trained supplementary troops cannot be replenished. Therefore, I am prepared to wait for the people at the company headquarters to be able to operate skillfully.
After installing walkie-talkies and radios, we set off into the mountains. After October, it is the end of the rainy season in northern Myanmar. We must seize this opportunity to cross the Savage Mountain and enter the Hukham Valley to establish an advance base and wait for the large troops."
