Chapter 319: Melee Combat

Zhang Chi's words quickly made Baker realize that he would either participate in training with his subordinates, or he would face losing the position of regimental commander...... In fact, Baker, who used to be a player, knows the importance of the team, and of course knows that what he is doing now is actually leaving the team, and the result of leaving the team will only be abandoned by the team. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But Baker is still unwilling to admit defeat, especially when everyone knows that Baker is competing with Zhang Chi, if he admits defeat like this, it will make Baker lose face in front of his subordinates, which is unacceptable to Baker, who has always been popular with everyone, so he thought about it for a while and decided to continue to spend time with Zhang Chi like this.

But something changed his mind.

In the evening of this day, the 183rd Regiment withdrew from the front...... This was because they had suffered a minor defeat at the front and had taken a toll on their morale, and Halsey felt the need to come back to rest and take over the training of the Chinese troops.

Along with the 183rd Regiment was a battalion commander named Thomas, who was Baker's teammate when he was on the team, and he visited Baker as soon as he returned.

"Oh my God, Joe (Thomas), you're ...... What's wrong? Beck asked in surprise at the sight of Thomas' bandaged hands.

Thomas smiled, raised his injured hand and replied, "It's not a big deal to just let shrapnel cut off a few fingers!" It's just ......"

Thomas didn't say anything further, but Baker knew what Thomas meant...... The loss of a few fingers is not a big deal, it is only a minor injury compared to the others.

But...... It also meant that Thomas couldn't continue to play.

Baker shook his head slightly, not knowing how to comfort Thomas.

"I heard that you refused the training of the Chinese?" It was Thomas who spoke first, and he handed Baker a cigarette and asked, "Why?" ”

"No why!" Baker didn't want to dwell on it.

"Oh my God!" Thomas said, "You know what? You're a fool, a complete fool! You don't know how much we wish we were on the battlefield and would have given Chinese us a little more chance to train us for a while! Lo and behold, after several requests from the regimental commander, we finally got this opportunity, and you are refusing! ”

"What?"

"Dude!" Thomas lit a cigarette and continued: "I know why you are resisting the Chinese, but listen to me, their set works very well on the battlefield, we try to recall their every word on the battlefield, and do according to these words, these words are our life-saving steady grass know?" On the night we were sneak attacked, if it weren't for Colonel James doing what the Chinese said, maybe our casualties would have been far more than a hundred! ”

Hearing this, Baker couldn't help but be silent.

"Nothing matters, understand?" Thomas continued: "When you're on that battlefield, bullets fly overhead, shells explode around you, blood from your comrades splashes in your face, and shrapnel flying everywhere with a whistling sound...... It was the threat of death, in the face of death, everything, face, dignity, women, money...... It doesn't matter anymore, all I wanted to do was save my life! What's the point of those if there are no lives? ”

"Think about it!" Thomas patted Baker on the shoulder: "That's all we have to face in the near future, now there is a great opportunity in front of you, all you have to do is make a choice!" ”

As a result, early the next morning, Baker appeared in Zhang Chi's headquarters.

"Colonel Zhang!" Baker saluted Zhang Chi and said, "Please forgive me for my previous recklessness, I am willing to accept the training of the Chinese troops." I want to know...... Where do I start? ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Chi nodded at Baker.

He knew that Baker would figure it out, and the business civilization of Americans determined that they were more realistic, and it was less likely to mix personal feelings into business or work.

Of course, if Baker really can't figure it out, he still has to have trouble with Zhang Chi and is unwilling to accept the training of the Chinese troops, there is no loss to Zhang Chi...... At most, it is for Jack to consider replacing Baker as the regimental commander, if Baker has such a strong resistance, Jack also knows how dangerous it will be if Baker is allowed to bring his troops to the battlefield, after all, the American army has always emphasized coordination, and they will not allow Baker's dissonant voice to go to the battlefield.

Fortunately, none of this happened, and Zhang Chi didn't know that there was also Thomas's credit for this.

"Perhaps, you should start training as a soldier!" Zhang Chi replied: "Because you must first know how they fought!" If you want......"

The reason why Zhang Chi wanted to add the latter sentence was because he was worried that Baker would resist, after all, it was not an easy task for the arrogant Baker.

So this is a questionable topic, and Zhang Chi is ready for Baker's refusal.

However, to Zhang Chi's surprise, Baker agreed without thinking about it.

"No problem!" Baker replied.

Then he simply put on his military hat, saluted Zhang Chi and walked outside the headquarters.

This made Zhang Chi a little surprised, but Zhang Chi didn't bother to study what the reason was, anyway, who wouldn't want to be less troublesome?!

The training went smoothly, and soon the 4th Division of the US Army mastered some skills in dealing with Japanese infiltration warfare and sniper warfare.

It's just that there is one thing that still makes Zhang Chi have a headache, the Yankees' marksmanship is too poor, and he can't hit anyone even if he fires a few shots with an M1 rifle...... Of course, this is not a real person, but Zhang Chi simulates the scene of the two armies fighting each other in a hurry.

This can also be said to be the characteristic of the US military, the US military has never used marksmanship to repel the enemy, but to use batches of shells and bullets to pile up in the direction of the enemy, soldiers are more often fighting from behind the tank, regardless of whether they see the target pull the trigger randomly and retract after hitting a bullet in a magazine. And then the cycle repeated......

If this is at any other time, it is nothing, the Yankees' firepower is fierce, and it is difficult for the devil to get close.

However, in the Pacific theater, not to mention the complicated terrain, the Japanese devils often hide in tunnels or camouflage, and wait for the Yankees to get closer before suddenly jumping out to fight the Yankees in close combat...... The Japanese are not fools either, they know that playing close combat can make the powerful firepower of the American army unplayable. Later, on the battlefield of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the Chinese volunteers used this tactic to the fullest.

So this raises the question, how can we give the US military an advantage in close combat?!
