As the war continued, the once prosperous Long Island gradually declined due to the rapid migration of the urban population. Brooklyn, Williamsburg and other urban areas gradually declined. However, with the establishment of the American and Chinese Army, it soon became a large military camp. From the east
From the mouth of the Hudson River to the Block Island Strait in the west, the island covers an area of more than 4,000 square kilometers. There are newly built recruit training camps everywhere, with the sounds of commands, trumpets and the footsteps of the training queues coming and going.
A magnificent sight.
According to the U.S. government's plan, Chinese Americans were organized into three corps, each with eight divisions, for a total of 24 divisions, including 12 infantry divisions, six armored divisions and six reserve divisions.

As for the reserve division, its organization is based between the infantry division and the armored division. It is organized according to the three-three system. Even heavy firepower and armored vehicles are fully equipped. Except for officers and non-commissioned officers, almost all of the soldiers are new recruits. Their role is to supplement frontline losses at any time.
, in order to maintain the main force at full strength at all times.
Winter is turning to spring, and in Changdao in March, the snow has already melted, the trees have sprouted new buds, and the earth is green. The breath of spring is blowing against our faces.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the ground was still shrouded in mist. In a training ground near Zhongdao, dull shelling sounds suddenly sounded one after another. Amidst the intensive gunfire, rumbling explosions resounded throughout the ground.
Almost instantly, flames covered the low barbed wire fence in the center of the training ground. As explosions sounded one after another, pitch-black smoke filled the air everywhere.
"Da da da——"
The sound of firing from light and heavy machine guns came through, and through the black smoke screen, a series of flickering muzzle fireworks could be clearly seen. The ground rustled, indicating the density of firepower.
"Boom boom——"
Several loud noises were heard in succession, and lumps of gray soil were thrown into the air several meters high by the explosion. Red and white objects splashed out and were then thrown around. One of the red liquids looked like rain.
Same, covering the earth.
"Mount bayonets! Prepare to attack!"
Standing in the rear bunker, Colonel Lin Zhixuan, commander of the US-Chinese First Division, shouted loudly into the microphone. Born in Lincun, Guangzhou, he was admitted to the Xufu Military Academy in 1932 and entered the 16th Anjia Army in 2034.
Division, was sent to the Simao Command College by the army in 1938 for further study. After studying for a year, he returned to the army and entered the National Defense University again in 1941 for further study. After graduation, he was directly sent to the United States and began to be responsible for the formation of Chinese-American troops.
Lin Zhixuan is not satisfied with the quality of officers and soldiers. After all, compared with the old army, these officers and soldiers who may have higher cultural knowledge lack a spirit and centripetal force. Fortunately, a large number of Anjiajun veterans in the army serve as role models.
Taking the lead, after more than two months of intensive training, I finally have a certain combat effectiveness.
Violent explosions occurred from time to time all around, constantly throwing dust into the bunker through the lookout. One of the explosions in particular was facing the outside of the bunker. The thick dust formed a huge strong wind and rushed directly into the bunker, speaking to the microphone.
Lin Zhixuan, who shouted loudly, felt a mouthful of sand in his mouth, and quickly spit out the sand in his mouth.
In the trenches, after hearing the orders from the basic squad platoon leader, the officers and soldiers in camouflage uniforms nervously pulled out the Mitsubishi bayonet from the bayonet scabbard on their waists, and installed the bayonet on the muzzle of the automatic rifle as they did in normal training.
"咻咻——"
"Get down quickly!"
At this moment, there was a sharp and harsh sound of the air being cut in the distance. The junior officers and non-commissioned officers who heard the sound quickly shouted loudly, signaling the nearby soldiers to lie down in the trenches.
"Boom boom——"
Continuous loud noises came from the front of the position, and the entire front line was violently shaken by the bombing. Sand fell down from the intervals between the sandbags on the trenches.
However, although the officers and soldiers in the trench looked a little ugly, they still held their guns tightly and were ready to go.
On a fifteen-meter-high tower in the south of the exercise ground, Lieutenant General Ma Zhiyuan, commander of the Chinese and American forces, holding a telescope, carefully observed the situation of the charging recruits, and said with satisfaction to Lin Xudong and Lin Xiaotong standing beside him, Lin Xiaoran said: "It's just
Accept two and a half months basis
The performance of the intensively trained recruits is already quite good. Originally, I thought they would not be able to bear the tragic situation and run away. Now it seems that we have evenly distributed the 60,000 veterans to various ministries, which has indeed stabilized the morale of the military.
role!”
Lin Xudong nodded happily: "They are all veterans of the Anjia Army. Of course, there is nothing to say about their military quality. What is especially rare is their ideological and political quality. They understand why they are fighting. The total strength of the eighteen divisions is about 28 people.
Veterans account for almost one-fifth, that is, one veteran leads four recruits. With this combination of old and new, the army will naturally grow quickly. However, I saw some soldiers who couldn't help but vomit."
"Haha, this fully shows that all our training grounds specially designed for actual combat are very realistic and play a role in tempering the officers and soldiers." Ma Zhiyuan said happily.
It turns out that this training ground on Zhongdao was specially built by Ma Zhiyuan based on An Yi's suggestion. It covers an area of ten square kilometers and was built strictly with reference to the actual battlefield conditions.
There are loudspeakers everywhere in the exercise ground. The sound of fierce shelling, machine gun fire, explosions, and the painful groans of injured officers and soldiers are all masterpieces of the loudspeakers. They are all the result of Ma Zhiyuan trying to find a way to install the Military Political Department from home.
A live recording of the battlefield obtained by the film production company to which it belongs.
In order to get as close as possible, Ma Zhiyuan also deliberately set up explosive spots throughout the training ground.
The explosions in these explosion points are strictly controlled within the safe range. However, some of them are still very dangerous. Just like the explosion just now, the explosion was specially arranged in front of the trench in order to increase the authenticity. If
If your psychological quality is not up to par, you can jump into the trench to escape. The air-cooling and gravel particles ejected from you will cause huge damage. There is even a risk of death.
Of course, in vain, he followed the training requirements and lay down in the trench. He would not face any threats.
Lin Xiaotong and Lin Xiaoran suppressed the urge to vomit when they saw the intestines and stomachs of the animals that had been exploded for realism, as well as the flying blood.
Lin Xiaotong sniffed the strong smell of blood in the air, frowned and said, "The situation in the country has almost stabilized. Now it's up to us. Brother Ma, when do you think our troops will be sent to the battlefield?"
Ma Zhiyuan thought for a while and replied: "According to the analysis of the staff department, in the current stalemate in the central battlefield, all fronts are preparing for counterattacks. I estimate that there will be a big fight next month. It is expected that when the counterattack just starts, the offensive will be relatively
It goes well, but as long as we continue to attack westward for a month or two, we will lose our vigor as before, and by that time, the U.S. government will send fresh troops to fight, and we will enter the battlefield at any time."
Lin Xiaoran said solemnly: "So, we will go to war in three months at most! I wonder if our troops will have the strength to meet the challenge by then?"
Hearing Lin Xiaoran's question, Lin Xudong also looked at Ma Zhiyuan expectantly.
Ma Zhiyuan said confidently: "With nearly half a year of training, plus the foundation of our veterans, it is enough! The reason why the Americans have been unable to open up the situation is that they always use their own shortcomings to compete with the Japanese
To give you the simplest example, because the Americans are in a defensive state, they always like to distribute their troops evenly across the entire front. When launching a counterattack, all fronts will swarm.
"The Japanese like to let go of their defense lines, look for opportunities in movement, and assemble superior forces to deliver a fatal blow to the U.S. military in the salient. When the Americans find that several of their arrows have been eliminated, they have to shrink their front lines in other places, and then
Deploying troops to make up for loopholes often leads to a situation of tearing down the eastern wall to repair the western wall. This is the main reason why the Americans still make slow progress even though they have powerful generals such as Patton.
"To this end, our staff has formulated several countermeasures with domestic support. As long as there is more communication with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and with the cooperation of the US airborne troops and other forces, the situation will surely be reversed.
According to Chairman An's plan, we will attack the west within this year, regain the western coastal cities by June next year, and completely drive the Japanese army out of the North American continent four or five years ago."
Lin Xudong said with concern: "We have domestic support, and it will be a matter of time to drive away the Japanese. But we don't know whether the Americans will keep their promises after the war and give us Chinese Americans a real political status."
Ma Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. We have these eighteen divisions. The Americans have to consider the consequences of offending us! Of course, post-war disarmament is definitely a time, but we must maintain a certain
ratio, don’t let others serve it all at once!”
Lin Xiaotong pondered for a moment and said: "Our sisterhood will try our best to mediate with the US government. After all, the international situation has developed in the direction that Brother Yi expected. Even the British have chosen to surrender temporarily. Americans will not fail to consider the gains and losses involved.
"
Ma Zhiyuan nodded and turned his attention to the training ground again.
