Sunbrabang is a town in Kachin State, the northernmost part of Myanmar, and its strategic position is very important, not only because of its high mountains and dense forests, but also because it is located right in the middle of Myitkyina to another important city in northern Myanmar.

That's probably one of the reasons why Stilwell built his training base here...... In the event that Myitkyina is lost, then Sunbrabang may become a second Myitkyina.

Two days later, the 1st Engineer Regiment arrived at Sunbrabang with full equipment.

The first engineer regiment was able to become the first batch of troops to enter Sun Brabang for training, which made Zhang Chi a little surprised, Zhang Chi originally thought that this should be Sun Brabeng, and some barracks or something were not built well and needed to be built by the engineer regiment. Later, Zhang Chi realized that he had made a mistake, Sun Brabong's barracks had not only been built, but also enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

The reason why Stilwell made the 1st Engineer Regiment the first batch of troops to participate in the training was because the Myitkyina defense line still needed to be defended by a main force such as the new 22nd Division at this time, and on the other hand, he felt that it was ...... There must be a reason why the "non-professional" unit of the 1st Engineer Regiment can fight so well on the battlefield. If such a unit is strengthened by professional military training, it is very likely that its combat effectiveness will take a qualitative leap.

Stilwell's officers disagreed on this, with one lieutenant colonel named Tom thinking it was ...... If the first batch of training is not effective, it is likely to affect the follow-up training work, so it is recommended that the new 22nd Division, which has the strongest combat effectiveness in the expeditionary force at present, be the first batch of troops to participate in the training.

(In fact, the combat effectiveness of the new 38th Division in the expeditionary force is comparable to that of the new 22nd Division, but because the protagonist has robbed the new 38th Division, the new 38th Division is no longer as popular as history.) ）

But in the end, Stilwell insisted that the first batch of engineers participate in the training, and his reason was: "This is a unit capable of fighting, and it has been proven to be very good after actual combat testing, and I can't wait to see how it performs after participating in the training!" ”

So the 1st Engineer Regiment left all the equipment in Myitkyina...... The fighters were still a little reluctant to do this, especially for those tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery. These things were bought by the soldiers in exchange for their lives, and now where they are said to be given to other troops, they are given to other troops.

This made Zhang Chi talk for a while, and even Wang Mazi asked Zhang Chi suspiciously: "I said a company commander, the Yankees are not lying to us to hand over the equipment, right?" When we finish training, there will be so many tanks and so many armored vehicles? ”

"Tuanza!" Zhang Chi smiled bitterly: "I just lie to no one, I won't lie to you!" And all this equipment is left in Myitkyina for our own troops to fight devils, what are the Yankees deceiving us? What's in it for the Yankees! ”

"There's some truth to that!" Wang Mazi nodded, hesitated for a while before gritting his teeth and ordering: "Execute the order and leave all the equipment behind!" ”

So the soldiers had to reluctantly get off the tank and armored vehicles, and some soldiers were not reconciled, so they took out the military and made a mark on the tank, and said to the soldiers who came to receive the equipment while carving: "You take good care of me." I'll come to you after training, if it has three long and two short, I'll settle accounts with you! ”

This scene only made Zhang Chi a little crying and laughing.

What the soldiers didn't know was that the United States was an industrial power at this time, for example, this Stuart tank may be a treasure for China, but in the eyes of the Americans, it is a thing with small firepower, thin armor and poor internal configuration, and where will they be rare.

After some tossing, the soldiers finally left their equipment and took the car to the rear of Sun Brabeng, along the way Zhang Chi and others kept seeing many overseas Chinese, and the Burmese people were braving the rain to build roads, and some people were waving at Zhang Chi and others and cheering...... This gave the fighters a feeling of returning to their homeland. So it caused a sigh in the carriage again.

As soon as they arrived at the Sunbrabang training base, a slogan written in Chinese and English on the wooden wall on the front of the gate immediately made every soldier's blood boil and be arrogant: "All to drive the Japanese out of Burma!" ”

"All in order to drive the Japanese out of Burma!"

"In order to kill all the devils!"

"To avenge the relatives and comrades-in-arms who died at the hands of the devil!"

……

The soldiers shouted one after another, and the Chinese of this era talked about devils when they heard Japan. There will always be endless hatred.

Amid the angry shouts of the crowd, the convoy slowly drove into the training base and stopped in front of a row of barracks.

The whistle soon sounded, followed by shouts in English and Chinese: "Get out of the car, get out of line!" ”

The fighters quickly jumped out of the car and lined up at the designated location in the rain. More than 3,000 people lined up in the empty square.

Standing in front of the fighters was an American colonel, who held a small bullhorn and shouted in English to the soldiers in the audience: "I am your chief instructor, and my name is Hill!" From now on. Until you get out of this training base, you only have one commander, and that's me, do you understand? ”

Colonel Hill stood beside an interpreter, and when the interpreter repeated Colonel Hill's words in Chinese, the soldiers couldn't help but look at each other, and many people turned their eyes to Wang Mazi.

The meaning of the fighters is obvious...... Should I obey the orders of the Americans?

Although the United States is an ally of China, they are foreigners after all, and they are foreigners who speak English like the British, and who knows if these Americans will take the soldiers to hell.

Wang Mazi looked at Zhang Chi, and when he saw that Zhang Chi nodded slightly, he ordered: "Obey the order!" ”

"Yes!" The warriors sparsely responded.

Colonel Hill was obviously not satisfied with the soldiers' answers, so he asked in an accentuated tone, "Did you hear them all?" ”

"Yes!"

"I can't hear you!" Colonel Hill yelled viciously at the fighters.

"Yes!" The warriors responded loudly.

"Good!" Colonel Hill nodded in satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, a group of American officers stepped forward and stood in front of the ranks of soldiers, each with an interpreter.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but wonder a little about this, where did the Yankees find so many translators. Although Myanmar has been colonized by the British for a long time, there are not many people who can speak both Chinese and English.

What Zhang Chi didn't know was that these translators were all overseas Chinese hired by the US military from India...... India was also a British colony, and many of the Chinese living there learned English in order to make life more convenient. (To be continued.) )
