"Ready, ready!"

Crash......

On the training ground outside the main base, a group of recruits holding Garand immediately lay down on the spot in a tactical posture after hearing the instructor's order, and at the same time aimed the rifles in their hands at a humanoid target 100 meters away.

"Fire!"

Bang bang......

The gunfire crackled incessantly, but the instructor shook his head.

Slow reactions, stiff movements, and non-compliant tactical postures are not to mention... A cursory glance at the target in the distance, less than three of the twelve people in this class could hit the target.

"The crowd stands up, and the second group ...... Yes? Sir! ”

The instructor was about to continue training when he saw a middle-aged American wearing glasses walking next to him, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Take a break, leave me alone, and get on with your work." Stilwell returned the salute and preached indifferently.

Originally, Stilwell was supposed to return to India a few days ago, but he didn't think about it on a whim, and he planned to investigate the Heihe base for a few more days, first, to find out the true strength of Liao Mingyu's troops, and secondly... He really had nothing to do after going back, and he preferred to stay with the combat troops rather than the big rear.

"Yes, sir."

The instructor was very surprised, he didn't expect this big man to come to the training ground to inspect in person, and after answering, he immediately got up and was ready to perform.

"The second group! Take a step forward and get ready... Get down! ”

The soldiers of the second group hurriedly stepped forward, threw the rifles behind their backs, and at the same time lay on the sandbag bunker.

Perhaps because of the nervousness, their movements were inevitably a little awkward, and one of the soldiers was also stumbled by his own foot, and almost didn't fall a dog to eat, which made his companions behind laugh.

"Shut up! Don't laugh! ”

In front of the commander-in-chief of the human theater, the instructor's face was also a little unbearable, and he was angry and scolded the waste in his heart at the same time, saying that he was going to go up to clean up the people.

"How did I tell you? Damn it... Can't teach a pig who can't teach!? ”

"Wait..."

Unexpectedly, Stilwell stood up at this time, and walked straight to the ugly soldier without saying a word: "Kid, can I borrow your rifle?" ”

"Huh?" The recruit was stunned at first, thinking that he would be punished, but he saw the other party's kind smile.

"Give... Here you go. It took him half a day to react to this situation, and he quickly got up and handed the rifle with both hands.

Stilwell, who had taken the rifle, weighed it for a moment, then placed the gun in front of him, took a deep breath, and quickly lay down in a standard tactical position, the recruits staring at him in a straight stance.

The eyes, the crosshairs, and the target are three points and one line, and the heavy frame does not affect his aiming, and before everyone can see it clearly, the crisp gunfire has already sounded.

Bang!

The humanoid target 100 meters away instantly kicked up a lot of dust.

"Nine Rings!" The observer looked at it with a telescope and immediately reported the results.

Bang bang...

Everyone present was impressed by Stilwell and couldn't help but applaud, especially the recruit, whose face was flushed and his palms were clapping.

This is not flattery, but I was really amazed by the hand he revealed, who would have thought that the commander-in-chief of the war zone would have such skills.

Stilwell stood up and swapped his rifle for the recruit, and asked with a smile, "Did you and I see anything different?" ”

The recruit scratched his head and thought about it carefully, but he couldn't grasp the essentials, so he could only shake his head embarrassedly.

"It's attention, kid."

Although Stilwell was not very good-tempered, he did not have any arrogance in the face of these soldiers, but explained to him patiently and eloquently:

"Your attention is on the action, you're thinking... Oh my God, don't do anything wrong, and my attention is there, and it's the bastard 100 meters away who attracts me, and I know I have to lie down and hit that bastard quickly and effectively, or he's going to kill me, understand? ”

"Got it... I get it, sir! The recruit instantly opened his mouth and nodded vigorously.

"Well, let's practice well." Stilwell smiled and patted the other man on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, and then left with the adjutant.

The recruit's heart was stirring, and his companions all cast envious eyes, and being personally instructed by the commander made him feel that his face was doubly bright.

"That's it! Don't be stunned, continue to train, and if you don't do well in the future, don't blame Lao Tzu for slapping people and not recognizing people! ”

The fierce appearance of the instructor really scared the recruits enough, and they didn't dare to whisper anymore, so they honestly continued their training.

……

The gunfire on the training ground, the lively scenes and loud slogans resounded in the sky, and Stilwell enjoyed staying in this environment and feeling the hustle and bustle of the barracks with the soldiers.

"Hey, General!"

He hadn't gone far when someone suddenly greeted him from behind, and Stilwell quickly turned his head to look.

"I didn't expect you to have such leisure and leisure, come and teach the recruits." Liao Mingyu walked over with a smile and quipped.

"Well, it's just idle, aren't you?"

Stilwell spread his hands and pointed at the other party's rolled up sleeves, apparently the latter not only came to instruct, but also probably demonstrated it himself.

"I've been here in the morning, but my general, why do you have to speak English every time you meet me? Bring a translator wherever you go, aren't you wearing a parasol on a cloudy day? ”

Liao Mingyu pretended to be dissatisfied and teased, he just greeted but in Chinese, if it weren't for seeing Stilwell communicating with the recruits on the training ground, he couldn't remember that this old guy would also use Chinese.

Historically, Stilwell was not only fluent in Chinese, but also in Korean and some Japanese, making him an all-rounder.

"You have a large number of people in China, and there are countless spoken languages in various places, how can I understand everything, can I do it without a translator?"

Liao Mingyu was speechless for a moment, this is on the point, the soldiers of the expeditionary force come from all over the world, not to mention this foreigner, even he himself sometimes can't understand those strange dialects.

Seeing that the other party was speechless, Stilwell smiled and lit a cigarette and exclaimed, "But... You've got amazing soldiers, they've been in hell for so long, they've just been redeemed and they're going back to the battlefield to fight, God, sometimes I feel like you're more of a demon. ”

At present, the soldiers trained in the camp are all the prisoners that Long Wen rescued from the Japanese concentration camp in Mandalay some time ago, in fact, they are also veterans of the battlefield, but they have experienced long-term detention and torture, not to mention their physical condition, and their combat quality has also been greatly reduced, and they will not be able to keep up with the current combat intensity of the troops without retraining.

In the American mind, these tortured soldiers should actually go home, and they should not be allowed to return to the battlefield at all, which is too inhumane.

"Alas... General, you don't know the situation in our country, if these soldiers return to China, the people above will not treat them as heroes at all, and what awaits them will be an even more miserable fate..."Liao Mingyu frowned, and couldn't help but sigh.

This is a very real problem, the more than 10,000 rescued prisoners of the expeditionary force, if they don't care about other people, let alone care, when they return to China, they will either be recaptured by some troops and sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder, or no one cares about them and become routs and displaced people, or even starve to death and die of disease will not be ignored.

Staying in the 88th Army is much better than going to other troops, at least they are treated as human beings here, the same treatment, the same weapons and equipment, and military doctors to treat them for medical treatment, three meals a day is not just fooling around, just talking about food is the happiest moment in their lives, and now they are driving them away with sticks, and these people are reluctant to leave.

Stilwell had heard that he was not alone in feeling helpless and incomprehensible about the national conditions in China, but that the great country of thousands of years had indifferent to the lives of its citizens and soldiers to such an extent.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, I want to ask you, don't you mind if I move the Liaison Command here?"

Liao Mingyu looked at each other in surprise, what is the situation? What does this old guy think, he actually wants to move over, does he want to occupy Nestle?

“e down… Don't look at me like that, I just want to stay on the front line and get first-hand information, and I won't interfere with your command of the army, this place is not bad, and I also need to understand that my investment is not wasted, don't you say? ”

Stilwell stared at Liao Mingyu playfully, patiently waiting for his answer...
