On 11 July, the entire 66th Regiment arrived at the Ramgarh training camp.

The training camp is centered on the town and spreads out in all directions, with a radius of more than 10 kilometers, and asphalt roads crisscross and extend in all directions, dividing the barracks one by one to form more than 20 camps, and ancillary facilities such as schools, hospitals, gas stations, swimming pools, cinemas, etc. are scattered among them.

The 66th Regiment was arranged in the 9th camp not far from the headquarters, surrounded by high walls and barbed wire, slightly confined, but the place was spacious, there were 11 houses of all sizes on the periphery of the camp, there were two-story western-style buildings, and there were also one-story high iron houses, and the houses formed a huge courtyard, and in the center was a training ground large enough to accommodate 35,000 people, and there were basketball hoops and football nets on the field.

The houses are all cut of green bricks, dry and tidy, and there are wire beds in the barracks, as well as some tables and chairs, which makes the newcomers sigh with emotion, "Dog's day, the prisoners of war of foreigners live so well!" ”

Li Siwei hurried back from the headquarters hospital, and at the gate, he heard the crowd in the camp, looked up at the dazzling sunlight, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly...... Turtles, one by one, are not afraid of the heat!

The climate in Ramgarh is hot, and although it is past midsummer, the sun still has a high temperature of more than 40 degrees when it comes out.

On the training ground, all the soldiers are cheering on the field under the scorching sun, a group of people in the east are chasing the football and yelling, a group of people in the west are fighting for a basketball, a group of people in the south are playing on the field, and a group of people in the north are chasing me on the sidelines...... One by one, they were playing with great interest, laughing and laughing, how could they still be a little tired?

For soldiers who are used to sleeping in the open air, this is tantamount to paradise on earth!

Li Siwei followed Zheng Sanyang, Chen Huaili and others through the two-story building in front of them and walked into the training ground, and when he saw the situation on the field, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, turned around and went to the barracks to inspect it.

"The barracks are very generous,"

Zheng Sanyang hurriedly followed and explained with a smile, "According to the above meaning, each department lives in a large dormitory as a class, and four cadres at the squad and platoon level live in a small dormitory, which is equipped with tables, chairs and benches, which can be used for office, and even the cadres at the company level live in a single room, and there is a separate company office......"

"Oh,"

Li Siwei nodded lightly, "What about Jiangyu Tianbao Zhenhua?" ”

Jiang Yu, Zhao Tianbao and Miao Zhenhua are all only squad and platoon-level cadres, but they have a mother-in-law in the army, and it will be inconvenient if the four of them live in one room.

"Rest assured,"

Chen Huaili smiled and took over, "It's hard to be rich, how can you treat your brothers badly and arrange a single room for them!" ”

"And all-friends,"

Shi Meng on the side also smiled, "When I went to see him yesterday, I ran into Xiao Zhan talking to him in private, and the turtle's face was flushed, and his face was smiling, which looked like a sick number?" In a few days, our group is afraid that we will have a happy event! ”

"Hehehehehe......"

Hearing this, the generals laughed, "It's good to do a happy event, it's a good thing to do a happy event...... It's been a long time since the group had a happy event! ”

Talking and laughing, the group had already walked outside the dormitory on the far left of the first floor.

Perhaps hearing the movement outside, Shi Yaozong, the leader of the row, hurriedly greeted the door, and saluted energetically, "Commander......"

"Yaozong!"

Li Siwei waved his hand and looked at Shi Yaozong with a smile, "You live here?" Take me inside! ”

"Okay,"

Shi Yaozong hurriedly opened the door, and after letting Li Siwei and the others in, he hurriedly followed, and introduced with a happy face, "The upper bunk on the left is Shirong's, the lower bunk is Shaowu's, the upper bunk on the right is Kexun's, and the lower bunk is mine...... The cabinet in the corner is one for each of us...... The desk in the middle is all ...... together."

"The small dormitory is not small!"

Li Siwei looked around, nodded with a smile, but his eyes suddenly stopped on a piece of stationery spread on the table, and walked over slowly, "Yaozong, do you want to write a letter to your family again?" ”

"Hmm,"

Shi Yaozong hurriedly followed, but his expression was gloomy, "I haven't written a letter to my family for a long time...... At the beginning of the year, I received a letter from home, saying that my hometown was hit by a drought......"

"yes!"

Li Siwei sighed, stopped, and looked back at the generals, "It's been so long to hear from you, it's time to write a letter to your family!" ”

"Commander,"

Hearing this, Zheng Sanyang hesitated, "I'm afraid I won't be able to send it back even if I write it!" ”

"Yes!"

Chen Huaili also sighed, his expression gloomy, "A few days ago, we went to the Standing Staff Officer to send the ashes of our brothers back, but it was ......"

Now there is only one hump route left in China's international communication routes, and the strategic materials required every month cannot be delivered......

"Hmmm......"

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became silent, and Li Siwei also frowned and groaned, "That's ...... Just wait! Sanyang ...... Find a room to place the ashes of the brothers first, and then send them back when you have the chance. As for the family letter...... Let the brothers also write a good ...... first"

Saying that, Li Siwei smiled reluctantly, "Don't worry! Everything will be fine! Did you ever think that we would go to such a nice place to rest? ”

"That's just as well!"

The generals suddenly perked up, "It will definitely get better and better!" ”

"That's it!"

Li Siwei smiled, "Let's go to other dormitories to see ......"

After looking at the dormitories next door, Li Siwei smelled the aroma of the food, so he smiled, "Let's go!" Go and see what they cooked at noon? ”

"There must be canned beef,"

Sun Dali followed first, his big face was full of emotion, "I smell the aroma of canned soup!" ”

"And dry rice!"

Liu Heishui also echoed with a smile, but sighed a little, "Turtle's, foreigners' rice is good!" All of them are whole, large and white, and there are three layers of pockets sealed on the outside, a burlap bag, a moisture-proof bag, and a cloth bag...... It won't break for as long as it takes! ”

"It's a pity that there are not many dishes!"

Huanghua was a little regretful, "It's still more fragrant with cabbage and radish stew...... If only there was land to grow vegetables here! ”

The so-called "radish and cabbage have their own love", this is not hypocritical, the food provided by the British is naturally much better than that in China, but there are indeed fewer vegetables, and they are also packed in canned boxes, let alone fresh.

"Isn't that easy?"

Hearing this, Li Siwei pointed to the east with a smile, "There is such a big forest in the east, you can always dig out some wild vegetables......

The group talked and laughed, and before they knew it, they arrived outside a tin house in the corner of the camp.

The tin house has three brick walls, covered with iron sheets on top, and the stove room below.

Outside the stove room is a row of stoves paved with green bricks and cement slabs, on which more than a dozen large iron basins are neatly arranged, filled with hot canned soup, and the aroma is permeating.

Inside the stove room is a smoke stove neatly arranged, thirty or fifty meters long, the brothers in the cooking row are busy around the stove, laughter wafts, oil smoke filled.

"Commander,"

Seeing Li Siwei and others coming, Wei Yidao hurriedly greeted him, wearing a brand-new British military uniform, and a snow-white apron, with a radiant face, "The meals are almost ready, the brothers have worked hard all the way, but when they get here, they are full!" ”

"Okay!"

Li Siwei patted Wei Yidao's shoulder with a smile, "Only when you are full can you have the strength to train and fight!" That's a good thing! ”

Came to the training camp, the brothers were well dressed and fed...... Everything is going in a good direction, and the laughter in the camp is endless.

It's a pity that many brothers were not able to enjoy such a barracks life.

After lunch, the small building in front of the camp was crowded with people, but the atmosphere was silent and solemn.

Outside the room on the far left, Li Siwei, Zheng Sanyang, Chen Huaili and others stood solemnly, one by one the soldiers went in and out with the urn in their hands, there was no crying in the room, the soldiers who went in looked solemn, but the soldiers who came out had red eyes.

Two hundred and seventy-eight urns were all placed in the room, neatly arranged on the tables around them, and they were full, some of them containing the dead brothers of the 66th Regiment, some of which contained the remains of friendly soldiers who had been collected on the road, some of which were inlaid with badges, and some of which were left with nothing......

The soldiers dispersed silently, and Zheng Sanyang gently closed the door and locked it.

They were alive...... Or live in a wooden house, or be trapped in a trench bomb shelter, or sleep in the wilderness and mountains, and there should be a better place to stay after you die!

Looking at the closed door, Li Siwei sighed and muttered to himself, "Brothers, rest here first, I will definitely bring you back......"

Fatherland!

Hometown!

That's where they were born and raised!

That's where they are willing to defend with their blood and their lives!

There is their deepest love and longing!

That's where they deserve!

"Smack......

After a long time, Li Siwei solemnly saluted the room, turned around, and strode towards the staircase.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The generals saluted, and then turned around and followed Li Siwei.

"Ironborn,"

Walking downstairs, Li Siwei looked back at Lu Tiesheng, "Order: All officers above the platoon level of the regiment will have a meeting at the regiment headquarters......

The soldier's journey will never end, crying, laughing, remembering, and celebrating...... There is still a lot of work to be done.

Not long after, all the officers above the platoon level of the regiment rushed to the conference room of the regiment headquarters one after another, and nearly 100 people were bustling, crowding a huge conference room.

The generals sat down one after another, looking at Li Siwei with blazing eyes, and their expressions were solemn...... It's been a long time since the regiment has held a meeting of this magnitude.

In front of the conference table, Li Siwei sat in the main seat, his eyes slowly swept over the generals at all levels who were sitting around him, and suddenly smiled, "Turtle'er, fortunately, this conference room is spacious enough......

"That's it! It's ......"

Seeing Li Siwei smiling, all the generals also looked relieved, and they all smiled and agreed, "It will be much more convenient to hold meetings in the future!" ”

"Brothers,"

Li Siwei looked around at the generals again, "Because the training camp is still in the preparatory stage, and the specific regulations have not yet been finalized, so Chief Luo asked us to rest for a few days...... Although it is a rest, military discipline must not be relaxed! ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei's voice sank, "The rules are still those old rules...... Haven't you forgotten it? ”

"Don't dare to forget! Don't dare to forget ......."

The generals suddenly looked whole and promised, "Please rest assured, head of the regiment!" ”

"Good!"

Li Siwei nodded, and slowly opened the booklet in front of him, "The second thing is about learning English......

"Uh......"

Hearing this, all the generals were stunned, and their faces were embarrassed, "Regiment leader, the whole regiment can't find a few ...... who can speak English."

"Don't worry,"

Li Siwei smiled, picked up the booklet in front of him and raised it, "Sanyang and I have summarized the things written on these two pages...... Not much! Sanyang will teach you first, and then you will go back to teach the other brothers ......"

"That's a lot!"

The generals looked at the two pages of paper densely filled with English in Li Siwei's hand, and their expressions were a little hesitant.

"I'm afraid of a hammer!"

Seeing this, Li Siwei scolded with a smile, "Lao Tzu will not ask you to learn to be a linguist!" As long as you speak out so that your allies can understand......"

Applying what you have learned is the way to learn!

"Don't be afraid!"

Zheng Sanyang also echoed with a smile, "It's all a few words of greeting, you should have learned a few words!" ”

"Slip of the tongue?"

The generals' expressions moved, and their spirits were lifted, "It's easy to learn to slip away!" ”

"That's right!"

Seeing this, Li Siwei closed the booklet with a smile, "The third thing is the problem of the regiment's establishment......

As he spoke, Li Siwei sighed softly, "Although there is no clear order from above, it is very likely that our regiment will be reorganized, and there will be some changes in personnel for the major...... Let the brothers be mentally prepared first. ”

For a long time, the affiliation of the 66th Regiment has changed frequently, so that the current establishment is quite different from that of other troops, but since it has entered the training camp, it will naturally be uniformly established.

"Yes!"

The generals were stunned for a moment, and they understood Li Siwei's worries.

As soon as you enter the training camp, the accommodation treatment is clearly graded, and if you think about it, the follow-up benefits will also be somewhat different according to the position level of the brothers...... The so-called "do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness", "common hardships and difficulties, and common blessings and noble difficulties", if the cake is not divided, some brothers are afraid that they will have ideas, and people's hearts will slowly disperse.

"That's it!"

After the matter was finished, Li Siwei looked around at the generals again, "That's all I have to say, which of you still has something to say?" ”

"I have ......"

Gan Fei hurriedly stood up and looked at Li Siwei more and more eager to try, "Regiment leader, I foreigners have shipped a lot of weapons over the past two days, and what about tanks?" Will we have a few cars? ”

"yes,"

Hearing this, all the generals were in good spirits, and they came to the spirit one after another.

"And a lot of cannons? It would be nice to divide a few of them for us......"

"And the car, with that guy, we can march faster......"

With good equipment, there will be fewer casualties, and looking at the weapons and equipment transported by the Allies, which one can not be greedy?

"Hurry up with a hammer!"

Seeing this, Li Siwei had to smile bitterly to himself, and hurriedly waved his hand, "It's ours, sooner or later, we won't be able to escape!" It's not ours, and it's useless to look at it...... Let the brothers do whatever they should do, and if they want to rest, they must rest! ”

In Li Siwei's memory, the troops stationed in India will eventually be equipped with American-style weapons, and he doesn't know how many tanks and artillery the 66th Regiment can get at the bottom, but he can't rush it!

Either way, the troops settled down.
