Chapter 422 Night Talk

On August 26, the golden light of the morning sun shrouded the Ramgarh training camp, and the air was filled with solemnity.

Today, the opening ceremony of the Lambgar training camp will be held, and General Stilwell will visit all units to review the trainees.

There are two divisions and several units directly under the command headquarters, totaling more than 20,000 officers and men.

Each part is scattered in more than a dozen camps within a radius of more than ten miles, and even if General Stilwell and his entourage have jeeps to travel on their behalf, it is not an easy task to inspect them one by one.

The rising sun scorched the earth, and on the colonel field of the 66th Regiment, all units were waiting in columns, and the army was in order.

All the soldiers stood solemnly in full armor, all with their heads held high, and their resolute faces were already covered with beads of sweat.

"Didi...... Didi ......"

Suddenly, the whistle sounded in the direction of the gate, and immediately, three jeeps slowly drove towards the school grounds.

Here it comes!

All the soldiers hurriedly lifted their spirits, raised their heads higher, and straightened their bodies!

"Toot ......"

The three jeeps stopped in front of the left side of the array, the doors opened one after another, General Stilwell got out of the car first, and Commander Luo and Division Commander Liao hurriedly followed, accompanied by the side, and strode towards the front of the 66th Regiment.

"Report sir,"

Li Siwei hurriedly trotted forward and saluted General Stilwell and his entourage, "The 66th Regiment of the 22nd Division of the New Indian Army was ordered to be reviewed, and there should be 3,115 people, but it is actually 3,115 people...... Please check it out! ”

"Good!"

General Stilwell nodded, turned around, and strode towards the back of the formation, Chief Luo and Division Commander Liao hurriedly followed, and Li Siwei followed behind Division Commander Liao.

Each unit of the 66th Regiment formed its own phalanx, more than 10 large and small phalanxes, the front two rows were the troops directly under the regimental headquarters, and the back was the phalanx of three infantry battalions.

After walking through the three phalanxes, General Stilwell turned and walked towards the front row...... After reviewing all the phalanxes one by one, General Stilwell turned around and walked towards the Dianjiangtai, his steps becoming much more vigorous.

General Stilwell walked to the megaphone and stood still, his eyes slowly swept over the phalanx under the stage, and fluent Chinese immediately resounded through the camp, "Children, now, the frenzy of war set off by the barbaric invaders is sweeping the whole world, from the Pacific, Indian Ocean to the Atlantic, from Asia, Australia to Europe...... Your country and your people are suffering, and the peace-loving and freedom-loving peoples of the world are suffering...... As soldiers, we must fight for the peace of mankind! ”

As he spoke, General Stilwell paused, looked around at the soldiers in the audience again, and his voice sounded again, "Children, the first war in Burma has shown me your efforts for peace, and made me believe that you are the most hard-working people in the world!" ”

As he spoke, General Stilwell's voice gradually became higher-pitched, "I believe that as long as you are willing to continue to endure hardships, then, when you leave the Ramgarh training camp, you will not be inferior to any army in the world, and you will make greater contributions to the peace of mankind!" ”

"Children,"

As he spoke, General Stilwell's expression became more and more excited, "Train hard!" Train a strong army, fight back to Burma, fight back to China, fight to Tokyo, and completely wipe out the barbaric invaders! ”

"Yes!"

As soon as General Stilwell's words fell, all the soldiers suddenly agreed, and the momentum shook the sky, "Train hard!" Go back to Myanmar! Go back to China! Call to Tokyo ......"

Wipe out the invaders once and for all!

That is where the common interests of all mankind lie, the common aspiration of all peace-loving and freedom-loving nations, and the goal of all officers and men of the army stationed in India.

Of course, a goal is only a goal, and a slogan can only express determination.

The road has to be taken step by step, and the goal has to be achieved little by little!

After the speech, General Stilwell and his entourage drove away in a hurry, and there were training troops waiting for them to review.

On August 27, when the morning light was slightly dewed, the loud trumpets sounded throughout Ramgarh, and the officers and men of all the units rose up when they heard the trumpet, hurriedly washed up, and went straight to the canteen.

After the reorganization of the troops, the establishment of the cooking platoon was abolished, and the food supply was distributed to the companies, and each company formed a cooking squad to be responsible for cooking, and, according to General Stilwell's request, the cooking squad had to be filled by the infantry squad in turn.

This made many soldiers very confused and felt extremely unaccustomed.

However, there are also shrewd people who see General Stilwell's intention - to put an end to corruption!

The training began, the rules were strictly enforced, and the standard of food was even higher!

The soldiers' meals were provided according to the standards of the British colonial soldiers (i.e., Indian, Malay, and Burmese soldiers): one canned beef, two packets of cereal, one packet of biscuits, one packet of tea, one packet of cigarettes, and one vitamin tablet per meal.

The standard for officers was even higher: bread, fruit, ham, chicken, milk and eggs at each meal, as well as cigarettes and coffee.

Of course, for the soldiers of the national army who just want to fill their stomachs, such differential treatment is no longer important, the important thing is that they can eat enough!

After hurriedly eating breakfast, the officers and men of each department rushed to the training sites separately.

On that day, Captain Wren announced nothing more than a general outline of the training plan, the details of which were much more cumbersome.

Taking the 66 th Regiment as an example, for example, Li Siwei and Chen Huaili will go to the special training class of the general school for training, Zheng Sanyang will go to the staff training class for training, Lu Quanyou and other military commanders will be trained at the officer training school, Lu Tiesheng and other signal soldiers will go to the communications school to receive professional training, and the following automobile troops, infantry, artillery, engineers, and baggage soldiers will all be trained in different places.

Li Siwei and Chen Huaili hurried to the officer training school and went straight to the special training class of the general school, but found that there were already many acquaintances sitting in the classroom, even Division Commander Liao.

After all, the troops stationed in India are about to receive American-style military training, and even a veteran general like Division Commander Liao has to learn from scratch.

In a short time, the classroom was full.

At eight o'clock, the American instructor walked into the classroom on time with an interpreter, and saw that the rank was only a captain.

"Ladies and gentlemen,"

The instructor strode to the podium and stood still, put the stack of materials on the table under his armpit, and slowly swept his gaze over the generals and colonels below, with a solemn expression, "From today onwards, we will begin to learn weapons knowledge......

There was no superfluous nonsense, the instructor opened the information in front of him and talked about it, even with comparisons, starting with the Browning M1911 pistol, performance, advantages and disadvantages, disassembly, maintenance...... Let's talk about everything in detail.

The generals listened carefully, and from time to time they sat down at their desks to write, and the learning atmosphere was like that.

The first week was a weapons lecture, where the officers needed to learn about the various weapons they were equipped with, such as the Browning M1911 pistol, the Springfield 1903 rifle, the Enfield M1917 rifle, the Thomson M1 front gun, the Canadian-made Bren light machine gun, and the American-made BAR light machine gun...... There is a lot to learn and a lot of tasks.

It's okay to be heavy, it's good to learn!

Since then, Li Siwei has gone out early and returned late every day, and he feels that he has benefited a lot every day, but he has almost no time to eat with the two daughters.

The atmosphere of learning is tense, and time slips away unconsciously, and seven days pass in a flash.

In the afternoon, the instructor organized a simple assessment, and then announced that the weapons lecture had ended successfully and that he would have a day off.

At the beginning of night, the barracks were filled with dusk lights, and the occasional laughter floated out.

In Li Siwei's dormitory, the three of them sat around the dining table and pulled homely cooking, and there were three cups of coffee on the table.

Li Siwei has a coffee ration for every meal, but he doesn't drink much.

For one, he really doesn't like to drink.

Second, the two girls like to drink very much.

"Four-dimensional,"

As she spoke, Ning Rou gently took a sip of the coffee in front of her, held the cup, looked at Li Siwei, and her expression became hesitant, "I...... There's something I want to tell you. ”

"What's the matter?"

Hearing this, Li Siwei looked at Ning Rou with a smile, and didn't notice that Wu Ruolan's face on the side was already a little worried.

"Hmm,"

Ning Rou met Li Siwei's gaze and gritted her teeth, "Ruolan...... Pregnant! ”

"Got it?"

Li Siwei was stunned, and looked at Wu Ruolan who looked apprehensive suspiciously, "Ruolan, why are you ......?"

Suddenly, Li Siwei had a flash of inspiration, and a look of ecstasy surged in his eyes, "Ruolan, are you pregnant?" ”

"Uh......"

Seeing Li Siwei's overjoyed appearance, the two women were stunned, "You...... Not worried? ”

"Worried? Why are you worried? ”

Li Siwei smiled and hurriedly grabbed the hands of the two women, "Before!" The day is precarious, and the child is not at the right time, but now it is different...... This baby is the life of happiness! ”

Although Li Siwei did not know much about the details of history, he also knew that the most difficult time of the 66th Regiment had passed, just as he often comforted his brothers...... It's going to get better and better!

According to the history he knew, the army stationed in India would train in India until the beginning of spring next year, which means that Wu Ruolan would have enough time to give birth to this child in India, eat well and live well here and stay away from the battlefield...... This baby is just right!

"Happiness?"

The two girls looked at Li Siwei suspiciously, and smiled bitterly, "Born in this troubled world...... What a blessing? ”

"Hehe, it's going to be fine!"

Li Siwei smiled, and hurriedly took away the coffee in front of Wu Ruolan, "Ruolan, don't drink this thing when you're pregnant with a baby, you have to rest more!" ”

Of course, there are some things that Li Siwei can't tell the two women, for example, how the Indian army will sweep through North Burma, and for example, victory will come soon...... However, the joy in my heart is difficult to hide.

"Let's go,"

Li Siwei took the cup, and carefully helped Wu Ruolan to the bed, "From today on, you must go to bed early and get up early......

"Uh......"

The two girls were confused by him, Wu Ruolan gently opened Li Siwei's hand and gave him a blank look, "This is not the first time ......"

"Yes!"

Ning Rou smiled and agreed, "Siwei, don't worry about these things, just train with peace of mind!" ”

"That's it!"

Wu Ruolan also righteously taught Li Siwei, "The brothers are so hard-working, you can't be compared to them!" ”

"Uh......"

Li Siwei looked at Ning Rou and then at Wu Ruolan, and smiled bitterly, "I am the head of the regiment, and I will ...... with them." What's the comparison? Besides, when have you men been compared to others? ”

"Hee-hee,"

Wu Ruolan hurriedly pulled up Li Siwei's take, and smiled softly, "Aren't I afraid that you will be distracted?" Didn't you say you wanted to make the baby happy? Then you have to have the ability to enjoy the baby! ”

"Oh......"

Li Siwei suddenly looked at Wu Ruolan with a smile, "It turns out that you are worried about your man's inability?" ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei pulled Wu Ruolan and sat back at the dining table, with a whole expression, looking at Ning Rou and Wu Ruolan with blazing eyes, "Rou'er, Ruolan, what about me...... The ambition is not in the military...... Let's put it this way! I'm being chased to the shelves now, and I have to keep going with my brothers, but once the war is won, I will take off my uniform. ”

"That ......"

The two women were stunned, and a worried look appeared on their pretty faces, "When the time comes...... You've been fighting all these years, what else can you do besides fighting? ”

"Hey, hey,"

Li Siwei smiled and shook his head, "That's because you don't know your man yet!" ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei stretched out his hand and gestured, "The world is so big, how can a man be trapped in the military?" If necessary, I can give this life to the country first, but as long as I can live until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, I will try my best to earn endless glory and wealth for my children and grandchildren! ”

The post-war world is in ruins, and Li Siwei is confident that with his advanced vision and knowledge, he will be able to build a huge empire of wealth!

Hearing this, the two girls let out an "oh" in unison, and they both laughed "poof", "Siwei, you're magnifying the cannon again!" ”

In their opinion, Li Siwei's words are a bit big!

"Uh......"

Seeing the reaction of the two women, Li Siwei froze, laughed, and gently changed the topic, "I'll be on vacation tomorrow, and your team won't be busy...... Let's go to the town and watch a movie, right? ”

Li Siwei also felt that it was too early to say those words, after all, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had not yet been won!

"Okay!"

Hearing this, the two girls were all happy, and they said in unison, "I went to watch "Casablanca", and I heard Sister Lena say that it was beautiful!" ”

"...... Lena"

Hearing this, Li Siwei was stunned, "Sister? ”

"You've seen it,"

Ning Rou saw Li Siwei's confusion, and smiled, "It's the day you first came, at the gate of the headquarters hospital......

"Oh,"

Li Siwei nodded suddenly, "Then, let's go watch "Casablanca" tomorrow!" ”

"Hmm!"

The two girls nodded hurriedly and hummed an English song softly, and a look of intoxication slowly appeared on their faces, "In the drive-in theater we sat in the back row, Coke and popcorn raced over champagne and caviar, the long summer nights made us fall in love, I think you also watched "Casablanca" when you opened your heart for me......"

Looking at the intoxicated appearance of the two girls, Li Siwei's eyes also gathered a strong tenderness.

In fact, they are only in their twenties, which is the age of flowers!

However, thinking about what they have experienced, and then looking at their current appearance, Li Siwei can't help but feel a little relieved.

Fortunately, there is a Ramgar in this world who can make them experience the beauty of life!

Of course, Li Siwei didn't know that many brothers in the group were discussing...... Take advantage of the break and go to town tomorrow to see a movie and see Casablanca!

Those who have mothers-in-law will bring their mother-in-law, those who have mother-in-law will meet a few brothers, and the soldiers who have suffered a lot also want to experience the corruption of capitalism!
