Sunbram is a town under the jurisdiction of Kachin State, the northernmost part of Myanmar. Its strategic position is very important. This is not only because it is high and densely covered with forests, but also because it is just the midpoint of grapes from Myitkyina to another important city in northern Myanmar. It can be said to be a gateway to the grapes and even the north of Sunbram.●⌒,.

This may also be one of the reasons why Stilwell built the training base here... In case Myitkyina is lost, then Sun Brad Pin may become the second Myitkyina.

Two days later, the first regiment of engineers rushed to Sunbulam with full equipment.

Zhang Chi was surprised that the 1st Engineer Regiment was the first to join Sun Brabing to participate in training. Zhang Chi thought that this should be Sun Brabing and some barracks were not built. Later, Zhang Chi realized that he was wrong. Sun Brabing's barracks were not only built but also accommodated tens of thousands of people.

The reason why Stilwell made the 1st Engineer Regiment the first batch of training troops was that at this time the Myitkyina defense line still needed the main force such as the New 22nd Division to defend. On the other hand, he felt that... the "non-professional" unit of the 1st Engineer Regiment must have a reason to fight so well on the battlefield. If such a unit is strengthened with professional military training, its combat effectiveness is likely to have a qualitative leap.

The school officials under Stilwell had different opinions on this. One of them, Lieutenant Colonel, named Tom, thought that... the first batch of training troops should become role models for other troops. If the first batch of training is not effective, it will likely affect the subsequent training work. Therefore, it is recommended to use the new 22nd Division, which has the strongest combat effectiveness in the expeditionary army, as the first batch of training troops.

(In fact, the combat effectiveness of the New 38th Division in the Expeditionary Force is comparable to that of the New 22nd Division, but because the protagonist robbed the New 38th Division, the New 38th Division no longer attracts much attention like history.)

But in the end, Stilwell insisted on letting the first batch of engineers join the training, his reason was: "This is a war-capable force. It has been tested by actual combat and has proved to be very outstanding. I can't wait to see how it performed after participating in the training!"

So the first engineer registrar left all the equipment in Myitkyina... The soldiers were still a little reluctant to let go of this, especially for tanks, armored vehicles, cannons, and these things were all exchanged for the soldiers' lives. Now they don't mean to give it to other troops.

This made Zhang Chi persuade him. Even Wang Mazi asked Zhang Chi with skepticism: "I said the first company commander, the Americans are lying to hand over the equipment, right? When we finish training, there will be so many tanks and so many armored vehicles?"

"Room!" Zhang Chi smiled bitterly, "I will never lie to you if I just lie to you! And these equipment are all left in Myitkyina for our own troops to fight the Japanese. What are the Americans doing to deceive us? What are the benefits of this for the Americans!"

"It makes sense to say this!" Wang Mazi nodded, hesitated for a while before gritting his teeth and ordering: "Execute the order. Leave all the equipment!"

So the soldiers had to get off the tank and armored vehicles reluctantly. Some soldiers were unwilling to give up and took out the military straits and marked the tank. While carving, they said to the soldiers who came to receive equipment: "Please take good care of me. After training, I will come to you for it. If it has a short and small, I will settle the score with you!"

This scene only made Zhang Chi a little amused.

What the soldiers didn't know was that the United States was an industrial power at this time. For example, this Stuart tank might be a treasure for China, but in the eyes of Americans, it was that it had low firepower, thin armor and poor internal configurations. How could they care about these things?

After some trouble, the soldiers finally left their equipment and took a car to Sun Bradbing in the rear. Along the way, Zhang Chi and others kept seeing many overseas Chinese and Burmese people building roads in the rain. Some people waved their hands and cheered at Zhang Chi and others... This made the soldiers feel like they were returning to their motherland, which caused a sigh in the carriage again.

As soon as I arrived at the Sun Brabing training base, a slogan written in Chinese and English on the wooden screen wall on the front of the gate immediately made every soldier excited and proud: "Everything is to drive the Japanese out of Myanmar!"

"Everything is to drive the Japanese out of Myanmar!"

"To kill all the Japanese!"

"In order to avenge the relatives and comrades who died under the Japanese!"

...

The soldiers shouted. When the Chinese in this era heard the Japanese and the Japanese talk about the devils, they would always have endless hatred.

Amid the angrily screams of crowds, the convoy slowly drove into the training base and stopped in front of a row of barracks.

The whistle sounded quickly, and then I heard the English and Chinese call: "Get out of the car and get off in line!"

The soldiers quickly jumped out of the car and lined up in the designated location in the rain. More than 3,000 people lined up in the open square.

Standing in front of the soldiers was a US colonel. He held a trumpet and shouted in English at the soldiers below: "I am your chief instructor, my name is Hill! From now on, until you walk out of this training base, you will have only one commander, that is me, do you understand?"

There was an interpreter standing beside Colonel Hill. When the translator repeated Colonel Hill's words in Chinese, the soldiers couldn't help but look at each other, and many people turned their attention to Wang Mazi.

The soldiers’ meaning is obvious… Should they obey the American orders?

Although the United States is an ally of China, they are foreigners after all, and they are foreigners who speak English like British people. Who knows whether these Americans will bring all the soldiers to hell?

Wang Mazi looked at Zhang Chi, and saw Zhang Chi nodding slightly. He ordered: "Abide by the order!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded sparsely.

Colonel Hill was obviously not satisfied with the soldiers' answers, so he asked in a more stressful tone: "Have you heard it clearly?"

"yes!"

"I can't hear it!" Colonel Hill shouted viciously at the soldiers.

"Yes!" the soldiers responded loudly.

"Very good!" Colonel Hill nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand, a team of US officers came forward in line to stand in front of the soldiers' teams, each officer was also equipped with an interpreter.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but wonder where the Americans found so many translators. You should know that this place is a backward northern Myanmar. Although Myanmar has been colonized by the British for a long time, there are not many people who can speak Chinese and English bilingual after all.
