Chapter 60: Idleness

Before the wake-up horn in the camp sounded, Tang Cheng had already woken up, secretly got dressed, wiped his face with a wet towel, and Tang Cheng, who still had a mouthwash of salt water in his mouth, carried his fishing tools out of the camp. Not far from the camp, there is a river river, and since the American instructor sent by Mike from Lambgar came to Ledo, this river has become the place where Tang City spends his days.

"Tang, you are not a good commander, as a commander, when the soldiers are training, you should set an example and receive targeted officer training programs, learn infantry theory, command techniques and combat methods, and improve your own command ability." Tang Cheng's good fortune didn't seem to work on this ordinary morning, and as soon as he walked out of the camp, Tang Cheng was blocked by the only female instructor among the six instructors, Kaysley.

Slanting a glance at Keisley with a deep smile in her eyes, Tang Cheng secretly scolded Mike in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of madness Mike was smoking, so he actually sent a female instructor to himself. Although Tang Cheng admitted that this Keisley was indeed good-looking, and there was no fox smell on other big noses, but if he had to be trained by a woman, Tang Cheng couldn't accept it. Could it be that he has fought all these years in vain, and it is a good thing to come out with a foreign woman to be his master at the end, such a thing is absolutely unacceptable to Tang Cheng.

Tang Cheng, who is not good at dealing with women, secretly stirred his Adam's apple, "Instructor Keisley, you know, I came out of the jungle with injuries on my body. Director Kane of the hospital said that I want to recuperate, if the wound breaks open, it will not be good, can you go and train the others first, and when my injury recovers, I will definitely accept your training, definitely. Tang Cheng couldn't help but say that he walked around Keisley and roared towards the fork of the river, looking at his departure posture, as if he was chasing a fierce big dog behind him.

"Don, you are in front of it, I will make you bow your head." Seeing Tang Cheng go farther and farther, Keisley, who had nothing to do, could only stomp away. Tang Cheng was reluctant to accept his own training, and Keisley had no choice, but fortunately, combat sign language training was not very difficult, as long as she taught Hou San and them, Tang Cheng could also learn from Hou San and them. Turning around and seeing that Keisley had already entered the barracks, Tang Cheng, who had already sat down by the river, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this foreign woman is too pestering, and when Huang Hanju comes back tomorrow, he must let him bring this foreign woman back to Ramga.

The wake-up call finally sounded in the camp, and the sleepy-eyed soldiers walked out of the barracks, washed up and began their five-kilometer morning run before breakfast. The morning jog in the Tangcheng camp is not the same as that of other troops, the morning jog of these soldiers under his command is fully armed, and the weight of each person cannot be less than 20 kilograms, only the soldiers who complete the morning jog on time can enjoy the whole breakfast, and the soldiers who do not complete the morning jog on time have their breakfast halved by the instructor.

At first, the morning run designated by these US military instructors was only a freehand morning run, but after seeing the morning run of these soldiers under Tang Cheng, the instructors changed the morning run to a weight-bearing run. It is exactly five kilometers away from the camp in Tangcheng to Leduo Town, and the morning run in the camp every morning has become a way for Hou San and them to demonstrate to those guys of the 114th Regiment.

After the five-kilometer morning run, there is a half-hour breakfast time, and then it is the targeted training time for the US military instructors. The veterans under his command just now were not interested in the initial weapons lectures given by the US military instructors, but were interested in the coordinated combat tactics of infantry and small arms combat on the march taught by the instructors. In the National Army, especially at the company and platoon level, soldiers are rarely exposed to cooperative combat tactics.

In the battle between the national army and the Japanese army, when the strength of weapons and firepower was inferior to that of the Japanese army, more often than not, the national army could only rely on the blood and courage of the soldiers. But Tangcheng is now equipped with American-style weapons, but in terms of weapons, the firepower intensity they have is already higher than that of the Japanese army, but if they can't change the rigid battlefield tactics before, no matter how good the weapons are given to them, they will not be able to play a role.

Mike brought a full set of courses from the Lambgar training camp with U.S. instructors sent by Mike, which focused on training infantry and artillery in the use of American-made weapons and tropical jungle combat tactics. The training cycle of infantry is set at 6 weeks,,, the first week is infantry weapons lectures, the second week is to master the performance of various infantry weapons, the third week is infantry live ammunition training, the fourth week is individual training tactics, the fifth week is squad offensive and defensive training, and the sixth week is blasting technology training.

The entire training content is carried out in strict accordance with the training curriculum of the US Military Academy at West Point, and the main contents of the infantry training include: platoon drill, physical training, tactical theory, weapon operation, individual shooting and combat, jungle combat, night combat, reconnaissance and capture, antitank combat, and so on. Tang Cheng had to pretend to be sick to avoid training because he saw the content of the entire training syllabus, so much training content, wouldn't it be that the person would be tired to death, and with that tired and tired time, Tang Cheng would rather go to Wallace to chat or hide in the fork of the creek to fish.

Tang Cheng has his own insistence and reasons for avoiding training, but Mike, who has been staying in Lamgar, doesn't think so, so Keisley, who was transferred to Ledo because he was tired of doing nothing in Lamgar, became the one who was in a dilemma. "Don, you're their commander, you shouldn't have evaded training like this. If you go to the battlefield, as a commander, you should be responsible for their safety, and if you still evade training like this, I will ask Mike to remove you as a company commander. "Kethley found Tang Cheng again, this time this foreign woman came to give an ultimatum.

The relevant officer training content brought by the instructors had already been memorized by Tang Cheng, but after Tang Cheng thought about it, he found that he didn't seem to have anything to train. Hearing that Kethley, a foreign woman, was threatening and intimidating herself, Tang Cheng, who was sitting cross-legged by the river, laughed, and the American detachment that was transferred back to Lambgar with Mike had been transferred by Stilwell to a man named Frank? Merrill's guy. His own national army detachment is now the only force in Mike's hands, and he is also the only person who can command Hou San and them, and Mike will never change his own.

Persuading Tang Cheng to no avail, the angry Keyceley snorted back to the barracks again, still cursing Tang Cheng that he would never catch any more fish in his mouth. "Eventful, eventful." Staring at the float without blinking, Tang Cheng muttered a few words in a low voice, but he was quickly thinking about the things that Huang Hanju sent to report himself. Mike, who was transferred to the U.S. military detachment, is not having a very good time now, and even his life with Huang Hanju is also sad, but fortunately, Mike still has the support of the U.S. military observation team, otherwise the two of them might have been driven to stay in the corner.

Frank? Appointed by the U.S. Congress, Merrill recruited a large number of volunteers from within the United States to form a temporary force of more than 2,000 people. This temporary force had quietly entered Ramgarh last month to receive training in mountain warfare, and the command decided to announce the matter to the public after their training was completed, but after Stilwell transferred the American detachment formed by Mike to the direct command headquarters, Mike had already used his connections to find out Frank? Merrell's origins and the whereabouts of his U.S. detachments.

Tang Cheng doesn't know this Frank at all? Merrell is sacred, and he doesn't know what the bigwigs in the command are thinking, so he can just control his soldiers now. As for the affairs of the upper echelons, naturally the upper echelons will solve them by themselves, as long as they can stay comfortably in Lieduo, those messy things are not something they can participate in.

The unrelenting Keisley continued to persuade Tang Cheng to participate in the officer training subjects, and finally made Tang Cheng anxious, so in front of all the US military instructors, Tang Cheng took out the content of the officer training subjects and told Keisley one by one. The officer training content in the Ramgarh training camp includes: platoon drills, physical training, individual shooting, tactical command, sand table drills, radio liaison, infantry and artillery coordination, anti-airborne and so on. Officers also need to focus on learning individual tactics in jungle areas and squad and platoon command tactics in small units so as to meet the needs of jungle operations in the future.

Tang Cheng divided the content of the training subject into separate items in front of Keisley, Tang Cheng and they were not many in number, and they generally performed jungle interspersed tasks, so first of all, queue training was not needed. Not to mention the physique and shooting training, Tang Cheng's marksmanship can be regarded as one of the best, and the anti-airborne training is not reliable, the Japanese troops in Burma do not have airborne troops at all, and the companies in Tang Cheng are not equipped with anti-airborne weapons and equipment.

Sand table deduction is Tang Cheng's strong point, not to mention on-the-spot command, Tang Cheng has fought more battles than these instructors combined. In the end, there were only two things left left, radio contact and the combination of infantry artillery, but Tang Cheng insisted on pushing these things to Hou San and them, saying that he was the company commander, as long as the officers under his command learned it, as for the combination of infantry and artillery, it would be even more useless, if the 4 bazooka and 2 American mortars equipped with them insisted on being artillery, it would be another matter.

If the outspoken Keyley was not Tang Cheng's opponent at all when it came to her ability to fight, not only her, but several other US military instructors were also surrounded by Tang Cheng. After convincing the instructors and the unforgiving Keisley, Tang Cheng was finally able to travel around without training, but when he was in a good mood, he would occasionally follow Hou San and them to practice for a while.
