At this time, during the training period, the instructors and translators deployed by Stilwell became the assistants between the American instructors and the new regiment of soldiers, and even many instructors directly became assistants to the Marine Corps instructors.

Before the first day of training, Brigadier General Willem stood on stage and gave a short speech:

"I know you've been to the battlefield and you have killed a lot of Japanese on the battlefield, but that doesn't mean you're going to fight! You can do better, and during this time, I will do my best to train you to be good soldiers, and I will train you to be disciplined, well-trained Marines, not just opportunists who can only play tricks and rely on luck to win! You know, I can't guarantee that every single one of you will return from the battlefield, but I can guarantee that after the training, I will be able to get more people back alive from the battlefield...... That's what I'm here for! And that's your purpose! ”

This is very true, but no matter how Zhang Chi listens to it, he feels that it is aimed at him.

And a few other people such as fellow villagers also heard it, because they all remembered that Brigadier General Wilhelm had said that Zhang Chi "can only play clever".

This made the fellow countrymen very angry, and they were about to go out to trouble Brigadier Wilhelm with their eyes blazing, but they all retreated after being glared at by Zhang Chi.

Afterwards, the fellow villagers scolded: "Niangdi! At that time, I wanted to ask the Yankee...... What do you mean by being smart? Defeated Kuah Island, commanded the air force to sink the devil aircraft carrier, killed Yamamoto Fifty-six, and took Rabaul and captured a large amount of equipment, this is called cleverness? If this is called cleverness, you Yankees can also get a few of these cleverness to come out and see! ”

"I'm sorry, ......," Pete obviously knew what Brigadier Wilhelm meant.

"It's none of your business!" Zhang Chi said.

"It's really none of my business!" Pitt replied, "But he is an American, and I am ashamed to have such a general in our army!" ”

"It's just a trifle!" Zhang Chi patted Pete's shoulder: "Don't take it to heart!" And Brigadier General Wilmine is right, more rigorous training will obviously allow more of us to come back alive from the battlefield, and that's enough! ”

Compared with the indignation of others, Zhang Chi really felt that it didn't matter.

On the one hand, this is because Zhang Chi has confidence in himself, as I said before, a rich woman often minds more about wearing jewelry, while a poor woman must wear real jewelry, because she can't stand the eyes and comments of others.

And Zhang Chi is obviously the former, he knows very well that what he has done is right, and his exploits are also true, which is not something that Brigadier General William can deny in a few words.

However, Brigadier General Willem really has two hands on training.

Originally, Zhang Chi and others thought that what they were going to do was just physical fitness, shooting and other training, but after the training was launched, they realized that this was not the case.

In fact, Brigadier General Wilhelm had already investigated the training of the new 1st Division before this, so he was well aware of the strength of the new 1st Division.

However, when he knew the strength of the new first division, he still scared Brigadier General William firmly.

"Colonel, you're not bragging!" Brigadier General William said with some disbelief to Colonel Hall, an American military adviser who had been following Wang Mazi: "You mean...... The combat effectiveness of this Chinese army is very amazing, whether it is street fighting or jungle warfare? And he is also very good at infantry artillery and infantry coordination? ”

"Of course, General!" Colonel Hall replied.

"What's wrong with that?" Then Colonel Hall asked with some doubts: "The combat effectiveness of this army has long been confirmed in the victories of Kuah Island and Rabaul, isn't it?" ”

"How did they do it?" Brigadier General Wilhelm asked: "As far as I know, they have only been training in Sunbrabang for less than two months, how can they have such combat effectiveness in such a short period of time?!" ”

"General!" Colonel Hall laughed, "If you count it by the training time, it is. But the general didn't think about it, they fought the Japanese in the jungles of Burma, and they were the most elite Japanese troops. In fact, I saw with my own eyes the Galahad special forces, known as the 'raiders', crumbling under the attack of the Japanese, who in turn were vulnerable to the attacks of these Chinese. Their combat effectiveness is not trained, but bought with blood and lives......"

"Then the Colonel!" Brigadier General William asked Colonel Hall: "Who do you think this Chinese unit has stronger combat effectiveness than the 1st Marine Division?" ”

Colonel Hall couldn't help but half-open his mouth when he heard this, and it took him a while to react and say, "General, are you joking?" On that note, I think Colonel Clifton has more to say! ”

Brigadier General William remembered that the 1st Marine Regiment had resisted the Japanese attack with this Chinese army on Kuah Island, and the answer was obvious, because Colonel Hall's expression and tone had already told him that the combat effectiveness of the 1st Marine Regiment could not be compared with this Chinese unit at all.

However, Brigadier General William still did not believe it, to be exact, Brigadier General William did not want to believe it, he preferred to believe that Colonel Hall was because he had been with the Chinese for a long time, so he put gold on the face of the Chinese army.

So William sent a telegram to the 1st Marine Regiment to learn from Clifton about the combat effectiveness of the new 1st Division, especially the new 1st Regiment where Zhang Chi was located.

Clifton, who was still on Kuah Island at this time, of course did not know that Brigadier General William wanted to get a negative answer, and he thought that this was the necessary understanding of Brigadier General William before training the new division, so he replied without thinking about it: "General, I think that in terms of operations, I mean in jungle warfare, defensive warfare, etc., we have nothing to teach them. It can even be said that they should have trained us in these aspects, and we learned a lot from them in the battle on Kuah Island, such as camouflage, calmness, and bravery! ”

This left William a little speechless.

But Brigadier General William couldn't put this shelf down, so he began to think about it...... If it was really like what Colonel Hall and Clifton said, then the training of the new division by the teaching corps would be tantamount to exposing one's own scandal, so Brigadier William thought of subjects that the new division did not train.

These subjects are swimming, landing operations, and airborne.

In fact, these subjects are really the shortcomings of the new first division, especially the airborne ...... There are few domestic transport aircraft, and there is simply no ability to conduct airborne training and form airborne troops. On the other hand, airborne landing is sometimes necessary for island operations in the Pacific, but this is not part of the U.S. military's training plan for the new 1st Division.

Therefore, in fact, Brigadier Wilhelm's jealousy of Zhang Chi and in order to maintain his sense of superiority over the Chinese troops, it was the qualitative leap in the combat effectiveness of the new 1st Division.
