Chapter 311: Joint Training
The joint training between the Chinese and American militaries went smoothly, although it was not as Zhang Chi had previously thought. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Chi feels that the reason why this training will be so smooth is mainly due to several reasons:
First of all, of course, China and the United States have common interests, or goals...... The goal was to defeat the Japanese. Under the premise of this interest, other small contradictions or any unhappiness and inconsistencies can be put aside for the time being.
Second, the Chinese troops have really learned some useful things in the joint training. That's not the point, sometimes training doesn't require learning anything, it's about maintaining morale or recovering fitness...... The former is easy to understand, the latter is due to the fact that after fighting a few battles at sea or on the battlefield, there will be some degree of damage or consumption to the body, and the second-line training can make the body recover and then return to the best state again.
Thirdly, even the US military and the expeditionary force get along very well.
Although the U.S. military has a sense of superiority over Chinese soldiers in its bones, it should be said that this is also normal...... The United States is a rich industrial power, but China is a poor and weak country, almost an agrarian country, and its industry is so weak that it could not even produce its own mortars before the war. In this case, the vast majority of Chinese soldiers have no scientific knowledge...... The soldiers of the expeditionary force are quite good in terms of education, and many of them are from schools, including elementary school students, junior high school students, high school students, and even college students.
But without an industrial base, China can't open any majors such as mechanical manufacturing, and only history, Chinese literature, teacher training, etc., Lu Xun just wants to study medicine in Japan.
As a result, there is a clear gap between this and the quality of US soldiers.
Speaking from the heart, if there is a large gap between people objectively, it is difficult to achieve equal treatment psychologically, not to mention the Americans to Chinese, if there is a poor relative in the countryside or something to play in the city, the relatives in the city will naturally have a sense of superiority in their hearts.
Therefore, in terms of psychological superiority, we really can't condemn Americans, the important thing is to be angry, to be able to know where the gap is, to learn humbly and then catch up.
At the same time, the American soldiers knew that they were indeed inferior to these Chinese soldiers who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood in terms of combat experience and fighting quality...... This is also thanks to the American military advisers in the expeditionary force.
It was difficult for the Chinese soldiers to communicate directly with the American soldiers, but the American military advisers had no problem at all, so they naturally mingled with the American soldiers and told the American soldiers about the "legendary experience" of the Chinese soldiers......
For example, Pete introduced his fellow villagers and other expeditionary forces in this way:
"Do you know that little man?" While smoking and chatting with a group of American officers, Pete raised his head at his fellow countrymen.
"The head of the Chinese!" An American officer replied with some disdain: "I heard that the officers of the Chinese are the inferior...... They will only exploit their subordinates! ”
Pete smiled: "This may have been true in the past or in other Chinese troops, but it is ...... for this army They call it an expeditionary force, and if you still think so, you are very wrong! That guy (referring to his fellow countryman), he was able to become the commander of the regiment because more than a hundred Japanese died under his hands! ”
"Is this true?" These words could not help but arouse a burst of exclamation among the American officers.
"Of course it's true!" Pitt replied: "He is simply a madman, and I saw him rush into a Japanese bunker with only a bayonet in the battlefield in Burma...... It was a bayonet, not a gun, and his gun had already been lost in the fight with the Japanese. We all thought he was dead, and someone tried to throw grenades into the bunker, but what happened......"
"How did it turn out?"
"Before we could throw a grenade inside, he came out, covered in blood, with a bayonet with a gap...... He single-handedly killed five Japanese in an instant! ”
"Oh!" The American GIs forgot to smoke the cigarettes in their hands when they heard this, and they who had never fought were naturally full of curiosity and awe of this cruel battlefield, because this is the battlefield they were about to face.
More importantly, they are also afraid to face these battlefields, but these Chinese have experienced many times and successfully survived, which makes the American GIs envious and jealous.
"And that ......" Pete raised his head at the rascal again, "Do you know what he likes best?" ”
"Murder?" An American officer guessed.
"So to speak!" Pete nodded: "But his method of killing people is a bit strange, he likes to twist the other party's neck and then ......"
As he spoke, Pete made an exaggerated writhing motion, then raised his eyebrows and said, "He told me that he hates Japanese people to the core, so he likes to hear the crunch sound of Japanese necks when they are broken, and he thinks it's the most beautiful music in the world!" ”
"God!" The American officers' faces turned a little pale when they heard this, and some of them even subconsciously touched their necks.
"About our division commander......" Pete laughed: "I don't think I need to say much about his great achievements, you have all heard about it!" But I don't think you know...... He was a soldier not so long ago. Oh...... To be exact, he should be a squad leader, and then he was promoted to platoon commander and company commander...... And finally, the division commander! ”
"Why did he rise so fast?" An American officer asked curiously, "Is it because you killed many people?" ”
"This is just one of them!" Pete replied, "He used to be a good sniper, do you see that he always has an M1 sniper rifle hanging in his headquarters?" ”
"Yes!" The American officers nodded their heads.
"It was sent to him by General Stilwell himself!" "After he sniped more than 100 Japanese, but that's not the point, the point is that he led us to victory time and time again," Pete said. If there are any words to describe him...... I think it's better to be a 'genius', yes, he's a genius of war, always able to guess what the enemy is going to do, and then come up with the best way to fight them! This is one of the reasons why we are invincible! ”
The U.S. officers nodded their heads, as they seemed to understand why the Chinese forces were able to win battles that the U.S. forces could not win...... An excellent commander who is trusted and loved by his subordinates, and a group of wolf-like soldiers, coupled with advanced American-style equipment and a steady stream of logistical supplies, this force can be said to be almost invincible.
