In Guizhou, near Yunnan, the new 28th and 29th divisions stopped, not because they were unwilling to enter Burma, but because there was a problem with the equipment that the Americans promised them.

Now only two divisions of the 66th Army have not entered Burma, and the Fifth Army, as the absolute main force of the expeditionary force, has completed the refitting on the Yunnan-Burma Highway, with brand-new American-style equipment, and even Zhuang armored troops.

The 66th Army that stayed in place was not ignored, at least the staff of the expeditionary force command sent a liaison officer, and the chief of staff of the Chinese theater was the American General Stilwell, and the liaison officer he sent was also an American officer, and he needed to supervise the implementation of the agreement by the Chinese soldiers.

There were three liaison officers from the 66th Army, but they only had one interpreter, and that translator was from the Southwest Associated University, a college student who was in school.

The liaison officer, in fact, he is really here to liaise; However, the American soldiers of this era, when facing the Chinese army, have a natural sense of superiority, they are used to looking down on the Chinese soldiers condescendingly, and now, in the military headquarters of the 66th Army, Major T Ruskin is like this.

"General Zhang, you don't need to worry about your equipment, for us, equipment is not a problem at all, what you should care about now is the combat effectiveness of those soldiers, don't throw down your equipment and run away in fear when you see the Japanese yellow-skinned monkeys......"

At the headquarters of the 66th Army, Major Clement Ruskin was talking, and he did not fear in the slightest that his words would offend the lieutenant general in front of him, and in his opinion, they should be so, because they were benefactors.

"Commander Zhang, Major Ruskin said that he wants to see the situation of the troops, so that it is convenient to prepare suitable weapons for you."

The interpreter wanted to scold this American foreign devil, but he still held back, and for the sake of friendship between the two sides, he even made a slight adjustment to this American's words, so that the two sides would not quarrel.

"If you want to see the troops, it's no problem at all; You tell him that my troops can use any weapon, and that the more machine guns, artillery, and tanks, the better. ”

When it comes to equipment, Zhang Zhen is interested, although the remaining two divisions are a little worse than the new 38th Division, but they are definitely elite in current China.

At the same time, the camp of the newly formed 29th Division, Feng Ye was not idle, and after two days of simple repairs, Feng Ye began to ponder about the matter of fighting in Burma.

"Get a few more brothers from Orion, I have something to ask them."

Feng Ye sat at the regiment headquarters and asked Min Fei and a few of them to find someone.

"Commander, there are a lot of hunters in our group, what do you want? Under the sleeve? Or something else? ”

Wang Ning asked Feng Yi, as far as he knew, there were no less than a hundred brothers in their camp who had experience in hunting.

"It's better to drill the forest for a long time."

Feng Yi thought for a moment and replied.

"The place we are going to is Myanmar, where the terrain should be similar to Yunnan and Guizhou, there are forests everywhere, what do you need to pay attention to when marching and fighting in the forests?"

There were more than a dozen brothers who came over, and Feng Ye didn't grind, and asked these brothers directly.

"Regiment Commander, we are hunting in the forest, and we have never fought!"

These brothers didn't know how to answer Feng Yi's question, and they hadn't done it before.

"And how did you get it while hunting?"

Feng Yi asked a different way.

"Regiment commander, the current equipment will definitely not be able to drill into the forest, at least you need to get a knife, so that it is convenient to do whatever you do."

One brother thought about it for a moment, and he began to miss their hunting knife, which could do anything to open paths, make traps, and fetch water.

"Don't we have bayonets?"

Feng asked.

"That thing doesn't work, it's too light, too short, it's not easy to open the way and cut vines."

……

In the gossip, Feng Ye knew that the old hunters were hunting in the forest, not relying on the shotgun in their hands, but their experience and traps, and what supported them all was just a hunting knife.

During the conversation, Feng felt that his troops needed to prepare a lot of things, such as automatic weapons, anti-insect and snake potions, hunting knives, rain cloths and even rain boots.

There are many automatic weapons, and the best option is, of course, a submachine gun, for example, the American Thomson is good, but unfortunately Feng Ye has not seen a shadow yet; He can't do it now, it's too expensive, and the Ministry of Military Affairs can't equip every soldier with rain boots now; But he can now prepare a hunting knife, a tarpaulin, and an anti-insect snake potion.

"I'll go to the division headquarters now, and you continue to train; Starting tomorrow, the team will all pull closer to the opposite mountain, and first get used to the problem of how to cooperate and march in the jungle. ”

After Feng Yi finished explaining, he stepped on horseback and went straight to the division headquarters.

"Commander Feng, you can only hope that the Americans have prepared for us with these things, the Ministry of Military Affairs asked us to come here, not to be old soldiers, and we haven't entered Burma yet? Where do you want these things? ”

Facing Feng Yi's question, Ma Weiji shook his head, what he was most annoyed about now was that the people below asked him for things, let alone him now, even Commander Zhang's direct troops didn't solve the weapon problem, and they still hunted knives and rain cloths? Dream on!

Feng Ye didn't catch anything, and returned to the 85th regiment station in a gloomy manner, but the training to adapt to the jungle could not be stopped, he had to find the weakness of his tactics in the jungle, and with preparation, even if the weapon was not good, there was a way to deal with the devils in the forest to minimize the losses of the troops.

As usual, the 85th Regiment trained, and the 87th Regiment must be pulled together, which has become the practice of the new 29th Division.

"Ahh

After drilling the forest for two days, although the amount of training did not seem to be as tiring as in the training ground, the soldiers were tired to death, even Feng Ye was very tired, these two days, as those soldiers said, there was no machete, no medicine to repel insects and snakes, it was very dangerous in the forest, and this is only Guizhou, not Myanmar.

"There's a lot of realgar in the market here, so let's buy a batch first, it's not too expensive."

Min Fei suggested to Feng Yi that this thing is in Yunnan-Guichuan, as long as you live in the countryside, basically every family will prepare some, which has become a necessity for the villagers here, and if there is a demand, of course, there are many people who sell it.

China has been using realgar for more than thousands of years, and the main production area of this stuff is Yunnan, so it is not expensive here.

"Okay, I still have a little money here, you can go and see how much you can buy."

Feng Ye took out a handful of fiat currency from his pocket and handed it to Min Fei, this was the little money he had with him, and it was already all his belongings.

"I still have a little, I ask the officers to contribute a little, and try to prepare a little for each brother."

Looking at the money in Feng Yi's hand, Min Fei shook his head slightly, this was obviously not enough; Then it's just crowdfunding.
