A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The soldiers were busy, but the situation was not good.

This time, Lu Cheng came to the Ramgarh training camp with a company, of which 40 were artillerymen, 40 were light and heavy machine gunners, and the rest were infantrymen.

To train an artilleryman or a machine gunner, a large amount of bullets and shells are needed, and the cost is not low. With the family background of the 118th Regiment, it is impossible to supply machine guns, bullets and shells in unlimited quantities. There is no such problem in the Ramgarh training camp.

Krupp and other artillerymen discussed what type of guns they fired and how many shells they fired every day.

Milong and some light machine gunners were discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the Browning light machine gun and the Bren light machine gun.

Cui Yong came to Lu Cheng and said, "Captain, that M2 heavy machine gun has a really strong firepower. When we leave, you must get two for us, one for your jeep and one for me, how about that?"

"Don't worry, yours will be indispensable."

Yao Ma, Shepig and others have been very happy recently. Each of them has a Thompson submachine gun. They shoot a lot of bullets every day until they are satisfied and their shoulders can't bear it anymore.

As for the rifles used in the training camp, they are mainly the Springfield rifles, M1 carbines, and Lee Enfield rifles of the United States.

Nowadays, the production of Garand rifles cannot keep up, and the price is relatively expensive. They must be supplied to the US army first. Even many US troops are still using Springfield rifles as weapons.

Moreover, the Springfield rifle is a product of World War I, and the United States still has a considerable inventory, which can be used by the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Although the Springfield rifle was a product of World War I, its performance is excellent, and its power and range are both better than the Type 38 rifle, otherwise it would not have been converted into a sniper rifle.

In the training camp, Stilwell, a 60-year-old American veteran, would often train with the soldiers, fight together on the training ground, carry an M1 carbine every day, and chat with the soldiers.

The soldiers in the barracks saw that this American veteran had no airs at all, and they were very close to him.

"General, the hat on your head is so special?"

"This is a US military cap, but it is the style of the First World War."

"General, have you participated in two world wars alone?"

"Yes, I hope there will be no third time."

"We hope so too."

A soldier asked: "General, when do you think the war will end?"

"It depends on how hard you fight. When you are on the battlefield, will you fight hard?"

The soldier immediately said excitedly: "Definitely!"

"What about the others? Will you fight hard?"

"Hard!"

"General, what do you want to do when the war is over?"

"Of course, like you, go back to your hometown, plant the land, see the children, and then hug your wife."

The soldiers immediately smiled and cheered in unison. Even the generals felt that as a commander-in-chief with a big nose, he was really good at chatting with the soldiers.

At this time, many Chinese armies still had some old warlord habits, and there was a strict hierarchy between superiors and subordinates. Even the superior officers did not regard their soldiers as human beings.

Here, these soldiers felt equality and respect. Whether it was to win people's hearts or to be truly free and democratic, at least the soldiers at the bottom were very happy.

"Soldiers, do you all want to go back to your hometown and hug your wife tightly?"

"Yes!"

"My English name is Joe. Some soldiers of the expeditionary force call me Uncle Joe. I like this name very much. If you like, you can also call me Uncle Joe."

"Hello, Uncle Joe."

Stilwell cared for the soldiers at the bottom, and it was indeed from the heart. He always liked to call the soldiers my children and was willing to make friends with every ordinary soldier.

On the way back to India, the new 38th Division and the new 22nd Division also had fierce battles with the devils, leaving many wounded. After these wounded were taken to India, they were properly treated.

But some soldiers were left with disabilities and could no longer go to the battlefield. Stilwell specially invited some craftsmen to teach these wounded soldiers various survival skills, such as weaving, carpentry, and maintenance.

After these disabled soldiers were cured and learned survival skills, Stilwell would send them back to China by transport plane.

Stilwell was indeed able to do this.

He deserves the respect and love of the Chinese soldiers.

In history, Stilwell also advocated that part of the aid materials to China be distributed to the Eighth Route Army, which was actively fighting the war, and made many contributions to the Chinese side's war of resistance.

It was also because of Stilwell's active promotion that the United States later sent an observation group to Shaanxi for investigation.

Lu Cheng still has a good impression of such a veteran.

In the Ramgarh training camp, the expeditionary soldiers were well fed, well housed, well dressed, and all kinds of materials were supplied in unlimited quantities. Meat, vegetables, and fruits, as much as you can eat, as long as you can eat.

Every month, the soldiers have two opportunities to watch movies. Usually there are various sports activities such as basketball and football for the soldiers to entertain.

After just about a month of training, all the soldiers' weight has increased rapidly, and their physical fitness has also been greatly improved.

The originally thin Bu La, Yao Ma, She Pit and others now look a lot stronger and more energetic.

Mi Long, Cui Yong and other machine gunners who were already strong, trained their muscles and improved their strength and shooting accuracy.

Krupp was the happiest one, as he had endless meals and guns to shoot every day, and could also learn more advanced artillery knowledge.

In addition to training and learning basic skills, Lu Cheng would also give his soldiers special training, and whenever he had time, he would pull them out to conduct some simulated training in jungle warfare, mountain warfare, and siege warfare.

Although the same subjects were taught in the training camp, the level of those instructors was definitely not as good as Lu Cheng.

Moreover, the skills and knowledge that Lu Cheng taught the soldiers were more targeted and more suitable for the battlefield environment and situation of China's battle with the devils.

Especially in special operations, the special forces of various countries in the world are still immature and do not have a complete set of systematic training. In this regard, Lu Cheng is a real expert.

After a month of training, the company under Lu Cheng's command had surpassed the other soldiers in all aspects.

After discovering this situation, General Sun and General Liao found Lu Cheng at the same time.

"Brother Lu, you are not honest. You give your soldiers special training, but you don't even ask to take care of us."

"Brothers, it's not that I am not righteous, but I have a lot of things to do here, and my energy is really limited. It's not easy to lead my own company. There are too many people, and I'm really overwhelmed.

How about this, since the two brothers are here, I can't refuse. If the two brothers are interested in my training, you can each pick out some capable subordinates to train with my people. It may not work if there are too many, but it's still okay to give you 15 places each."

"Okay, Brother Lu, you are open-minded, we have been waiting for you to say this."

Everyone contributed to the war of resistance at the same time, and Lu Cheng was not too private, and was willing to help the two of them train some capable personnel.

Afterwards, the two generals picked out some middle and lower-level officers to follow Lu Cheng's people for additional tactical skills training...
