The third day was the official start of training, and of course Stilwell was indispensable on this day, and after handing over the Myitkyina defense line to Luo Zhuoying, he couldn't wait to drive to Sunbrabeng.

Of course, Stilwell's handing over the defense work of Myitkyina to Luo Zhuoying was just a pretense, and when he left Myitkyina, he told Luo Zhuoying that he had to report to him if anything happened, and even this could be said to be a trap, a trap to find an excuse to drive Luo Zhuoying back to China...... This trap was very simple, and ten days later, Stilwell found out that Luo Zhuoying was eating empty salaries when distributing military salaries, so he made a report to Chiang Kai-shek and transferred him back to China.

Stilwell had long expected that Luo Zhuoying would do this, this is basically a common practice in the national army, and even Luo Zhuoying may be innocent, because his officers are eating empty salaries, and Luo Zhuoying just didn't count it clearly.

Luo Zhuoying, who can be said to be obedient to Stilwell, was afraid that he never dreamed that Stilwell would come to such a trick, so he couldn't say anything, and finally could only take a plane back to China in disgrace.

Then Chiang Kai-shek transferred Zheng Dongguo from China to serve as the commander of the expeditionary force, but his authority had actually been vacated by Stilwell.

As for the other mid- and high-ranking officers in the army, Stilwell was not so eager to deal with them, because the Myitkyina defense line still needed these officers for the time being, but when these troops were withdrawn from the front line and trained at the training base...... Just like the Corps of Engineers, they were dismissed the moment they took off their uniforms and placed in control by American instructors who were also military advisers.

Of course, that's all for later.

At this time, Stilwell's face showed full pride, his piercing eyes also showed confidence, standing on the temporary wooden podium, raised his hand to the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the audience to give an American-style military salute, and said loudly: "Chinese officers and soldiers, I am appointed commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force on the orders of Chairman Chiang. You must obey my command in absolute. As you have felt these days, we in the United States have supplies, we have plenty of food, bullets and shells, and even aircraft artillery, which are much more advanced than the Japanese. From now on, you can fight with peace of mind, weapons and equipment are depleted, and there are ...... in the warehouses Our powerful America is like a treasure hole of Alibaba, as long as you close your eyes and shout 'open the sesame seeds', guns and ammunition will fall from the sky! ”

That's true. The fighters will feel the gap between China and the United States in their future training and battles......

In China's recruit training, it is only a mouth, at most a few bullets are fired for you to hit the target, and many recruits go to the battlefield without firing a shot...... There is no way to do it, ammunition is in short supply, there is no ammunition on the front line, let alone the rear.

And for the United States, or in this training base of Sun Brabeg...... It was a requirement that several boxes of ammunition must be filled every day, otherwise it would be considered that the training was not hard and unqualified.

"Chinese soldiers!" Holding his head high, Stilwell continued, "I saw it in the previous battles...... I saw your courage, your spirit. In your simple and honest minds, you probably never imagined that you would be able to accomplish a record that shocked the world. But as an American general. Today I'm going to tell you...... Your courage and spirit, coupled with the military doctrine and equipment of the United States, will undoubtedly be able to accomplish a miracle that will shock the world! The children...... I'm going to take you all the way to Tokyo! ”

"Good!" The audience cheered over and over again.

It should be said that Stilwell's speech was very inflammatory, especially the last sentence of the heroic "hit Tokyo...... This was almost unimaginable for the fighters. At this time, it seemed that it was already out of reach for them to defeat the Japanese devils and drive them out of Chinese territory, but now they had to fight to Tokyo, the devil's nest, and this confidence instantly infected the soldiers and sincerely cheered for the American general.

Then came the gun ceremony.

The gun ceremony was held in a company unit, with boxes of guns piled up in front of the procession. The interpreter took the list and called out the names one by one, and when the names were called, he stepped forward and took the rifle from the instructor.

Originally, Zhang Chi thought that the rifle used by the US military to equip the expeditionary force was Chuntian...... The rifle given to China by the United States is Chuntian, but it should be said that it is reasonable to use Chuntian in China. This is because the United States has eliminated a large number of Springfield rifles after reloading, and second, because there is a shortage of domestic materials, and if semi-automatic rifle ammunition is used, it cannot withstand consumption.

When the gun came to this point, Zhang Chi couldn't help but wipe his eyes in disbelief...... The rifle that the fighters brought turned out to be the M1 Garand.

You know, this thing is a semi-automatic rifle, eight rounds are pressed into it without pulling the bolt, and every time the trigger is pulled, it fires one bullet, so its rate of fire is even faster and much more convenient than Enfield.

However, some fighters began to whisper when they received their guns:

"What kind of gun is this? It's so heavy......"

"Is the ammunition the same as the British's gun?"

"Is this gun any good?"

……

It is no wonder that the soldiers have little confidence in this rifle, they have never seen this rifle and know nothing about it, which means that it will take time to get used to it, and it will weigh about eight taels more than the average rifle, which may not be much for tall American GIs, but it is difficult for Chinese soldiers who are relatively short and chronically malnourished.

But Zhang Chi was not worried about this at all, because he believed that the fighters would soon find out that the gun was much better than they had imagined, and it was well worth the time they spent getting used to its weight.

"Zhang Chi!"

When reporting Zhang Chi's name, Zhang Chi strode up.

Originally, Zhang Chi thought that the instructor handed him should be the same Garand as the other soldiers, but the instructor saluted Zhang Chi and handed Zhang Chi a long box.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at the instructor with some surprise.

The instructor shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is a gift from General Stilwell, he heard that you performed well on the battlefield!" ”

Zhang Chi opened it and took a look, and couldn't help but open his mouth for a long time...... The wooden box contains a sniper rifle, an M1 sniper rifle, a scope, a flame suppressor, etc.

"Kid, you deserve it!" I don't know when Stilwell has already walked to Zhang Chi's side and encouraged: "Bring this gun, take your subordinates, and go to the battlefield to show the Japanese a good look!" ”

At this moment, Zhang Chi almost forgot that Stilwell was doing this for the benefit of the United States. (To be continued.) )
