Chapter 64: The Unforgettable Yanbee Island (2)

. According to the performance of the troops under Cheng Jiaji's command in mastering the key points of using American equipment, these troops can be divided into the following levels. The first level is the New 100th Division and the New 212th Division, which had already been sponsored by the American Overseas Chinese Association for many years and Cheng Jiaji's unremitting smuggling, basically achieved the US mechanization. Now, it only needs to work hard on the number of tanks and armored vehicles. Secondly, it is the New 152nd Division and the New 170th Division, which have been equipped with a considerable proportion of British and American weapons. Again, it is the New 188th Division that was not given the rightful supplement before being classified as the 48th Army. If you want to get a few quick guns, you have to spend money to buy the New 188th Division from the gun dealers with great powers.

It is hard to tell whether it is because the 38th National Congress of our opponents is too obsessed with, or the Japanese have been too slow to react in this regard, and only some of the Japanese Peace Army who have changed their clothes have spent the longest time on this training, but their proficiency with new equipment is the lowest.

Although the comprehensive strength of the New 510 Regiment was only a little stronger than the Supplementary Regiment among the four regiments of the New 170 Division. However, the strong desire for knowledge and strong mental outlook reflected by the officers and soldiers of this regiment still made Major Arnold, who was stubborn and extreme, doubted the correctness of the white supremacy racist concept he believed in since childhood. In fact, the little psychological impact Arnold suffered in the military camp next to Jiagu Town was insignificant compared to the shock he and his colleagues were about to be on Yanbei Island.

According to Cheng Jiaji, who was a fan of World War II and knew the advantages and disadvantages of this unit, and Scherwei, a veteran soldier who was equivalent to a modern encyclopedia of arms, decided in Chongqing based on the current amphibious combat training methods of the US military, and based on the specific conditions of the training targets, a trial training outline was formulated. The first training course that each new island unit had to face was to be familiar with water, and the New 510 Regiment was of course no exception.

This is familiar with water. It is not easy to pass by just a few diggings in the sea. It is quite complicated to say.

First, the American engineers quickly dug out thousands of sand pits that were tens of meters square and more than two meters deep on the beach. Then, several landing craft ran back and forth along the coastline, forming wave after wave of artificial waves. Then, Chinese officers and soldiers were thrown one by one to the center of the already turbulent sand pit.

These are just these. Although they were all the great Han people in the Northeast when they formed the army, after many years of war, the New 510 Regiment, which had long been dominated by the children of the south, was not a big deal. But the problem was that the officers and soldiers were carrying heavy loads, but it was amazing.

A Thomson submachine gun weighs nearly ten pounds, not to mention the American-made individual bags carrying engineer shovels, 150 bullets, food, military sleeping bags, survival tools and other items. Put aside the high waves and frequent impacts. Just to prevent the backpack that is soaked in the sea water and heavy, even wearing a life jacket, you have to keep sinking down to the level below. You have to keep struggling, stepping and adjust your body posture. In this way, how much physical energy will be consumed by the officers and soldiers.

Moreover, this seemingly ordinary but extremely tests human endurance and willpower training, the duration of the training gradually increases. From every quarter of the first time, it adds all the way to an hour close to or even exceeds the limit of the human body.

In short, in the first few days after I went to the island, none of the brothers in the 510 Group were either choked by the choking sea water. Even if I sneeze in the middle of the night, it would smell strong with salt.

Seeing that he had almost finished practicing, Captain Chels stood up and did a small exemplary move.

"When you feel you're about to lose your life jacket or your life jacket leaks, this is also allowed." Chels, who was carrying a single-soldier luggage, spoke Chinese with a California accent, and took out a slender folding saber from the small pocket in the lower left corner of the back pocket, and pulled it to the intersection of the back strips on his chest. The bag that tortured the Chinese officers and soldiers fell to the ground.

This fall not only made Chels, who was originally a good official among the 510th Regiment officers and soldiers, instantly fell into a more unpopular guy than Major Arnold, who was so picky about his nose and eyes everywhere. He also won this American captain who never smiled and won a so-called Smile Tiger that he didn't know. It was not until a long time later that Chels, who was even more unfair than Dou E, figured out from his brother that it turned out that in the Chinese dictionary, Smile Tiger was synonymous with insidiousness and cunning and inconsistent appearances.

Then the officers and soldiers were all caught on the ship!

This ship is naturally a landing craft. Although the landing craft in later American blockbusters that reflected World War II were all majestic and handsome. But once you experience it in reality, it would cost you a person's life. It would be fine if you look like an iron box with a cracked mouth. The key is that the landing craft is terrible in wave resistance. As soon as it starts, the waves will sway around calmly!

Compared with those small landing crafts of ten ton and twenty tons, the medium landing craft that was allocated to the Third Battalion Battalion Department had a displacement of 100 tons and could accommodate a company or an m4 Sherman tank, which was much better. But this made Xu Jingren so hard that his internal organs were hanging upside down, and even his red and plain face turned green step by step.

Xu Jingren's face didn't seem to be green occasionally! The reason is very simple. As soon as he got on the boat, the Chinese officers and soldiers were told that they would eat, drink, defecate, and sleep in the next week. They would all be on this landing craft that would travel through the sea at full speed day and night, except for the docking supply.

Spit! Spitting out a lot!

Not to mention the food in the stomach, even the bitter bile water was vomited. In the end, people who were weak in their dry retching had dropped to an incredible level. However, the pressure accumulated in people's chest still rushed over and rushed to their throats, burning people to tears as if they were burned by fire.

But people always have to eat. Fortunately, I thought of the supply of this layer, and the liquid foods for the officers and soldiers who were on board were prepared with milk, fruit pulp and other liquid foods. Otherwise, that would be able to swallow!

But while vomiting, drinking has become the most popular way to eat on landing crafts of all sizes.

Staying on the boat will be physically and mentally exhausted, but it is easy to quit. You just need to make a specific gesture with the American soldier on the boat. In less than an hour, a small boat will come to send you to the island. But next, you have to sit on a far-fleet that took off from the island and become a member of the remaining office of the Forty-Eighth Group Army in Yueyang! In order to avoid some officers and soldiers, they will force their companions to stick with them to the end. Cheng Jiaji, who knows that some things are something that cannot be forced, also issued a strict training in the name of the general: any act that prevents others from withdrawing from training will be severely punished by military law. But in the end, there are almost no soldiers willing to give up automatically.

The human and earth spirit can create many miracles, but that can only be said to be a coincidence, not a necessity. Otherwise, the word miracle would not exist in this world.

When a fragile body cannot bear the souls as solid as rocks, the collapse of the body is inevitable.

One, two... The fever on the landing craft was still unrestrained, and there were more and more officers and soldiers talking nonsense.

As a result, from the third day when the New 510 Regiment was all on board, Arnold and Chels, who were frightened by the Chinese soldiers, were each on small boats. They intercepted and inspected landing crafts and arrested and disembarked. Unfortunately, not all dangers could be prevented. A vicious incident of the dead still occurred. By the time of this training, seven officers and soldiers, including a platoon leader with a heart disease in the Third Company, became the first saints of the New 510 Regiment to fall on this battlefield without gunpowder.

But when it comes back, in the face of hell-style training that was much crueler and more harsh than similar courses of the US Marine Corps at that time, it was a great blessing to have only seven people killed in a large team. You should know that the 200th Regiment, known as the trump card among the ace, lost sixteen brothers in this course. Of course, the sense of honor of the officers and soldiers of the 200th Regiment is far stronger than that of the New 510 Regiment, and it is also one of the reasons why the 200th Regiment would lose such people in vain. Brave and fearlessness without prerequisites are sometimes really a double-edged sword!

The New 510 Regiment was not young and old who failed to pass this level. In addition, the 100 people who were washed down on the beach due to their weak physical strength, totaled 600 people. This means that in the first two levels alone, fifteen percent of the officers and soldiers of this regiment were ruthlessly eliminated.

The exhausted survivors only slept in the tent on the shore and then went into a new training course.

The third training course announced by Chels made the veterans of the New 510 Regiment burst into laughter.

Shooting? What a joke! The bullets shot from the man's guns, when I first had a close contact with the Japanese pig head, you two little yellow-haired guys were afraid that they were all student children. So you have to teach me how to play with guns!

But they couldn't laugh at them as soon as they got on the boat again. Not to mention, they wanted to use various infantry weapons to effectively attack targets set on the beach on the bumpy landing craft, relying on the veterans' foundation alone, there was no way to go.

With the solid foundation laid by the officers and soldiers through previous adaptive training, in just a few days, the accuracy of officers and soldiers who gradually found some sense of shooting on the boat has improved greatly. Although it is far from comparable to their previous lateral and horizontal land on the ground, it is at least reasonable.

But the course was not finished, and they soon discovered how happy it was to have a boat to sit on!

It was still fully armed and soaked in the sea water of more than one person. But the focus of this training was not how to survive, but to hit the target on the opposite beach.

At first glance, the standard line given by the Americans still looks very loose. A distance of 100 meters and five targets are only required to hit three. The semi-automatic m1 carbine is shot and the Thomson submachine gun with low accuracy can be fired, and the bullets are limited to one shuttle.

But it will be difficult to get up. The main reason is that the shooters floating on the sea are not easy to master their own balance and stability.

As a result, another 300 people were forced to withdraw from training in six days.

In the following two days, most people's task was to further improve the shooting hit rate in the sea water. Another small number of officers and soldiers who were considered outstanding in balance and strong arm strength were organized to practice the hard skill of dropping bombs in the sea water!

Only then can the basic training of amphibious combat be considered to be completed.

Compared to the island, all Chinese soldiers who had lost weight and lost two laps were finally able to recover their bodies, which were almost dragged down by the huge amount of exercise.

It is said that it is a five-day rest, but only three or four hours a day can be given to everyone's free reign. In the remaining time, not only will the officers above the battalion go to the division headquarters to listen to the US military experts explaining the combat command characteristics and all the things to be paid attention to, but even the subordinate officers and soldiers have to review what they have learned one by one, but the intensity is not as high as before.

On the evening of the second day of rest, Xu Jingren, who had just heard from the division headquarters, had been intercepted by someone before he could enter the battalion department.

"Is there anything to ask me for?" Looking at the three company commanders with a warm face, Xu Jingren, who thought there was something wrong with the battalion, was overwhelmed. Seeing that nothing happened to everyone's face?!

"Zhangseok, someone invites you tonight to drink. We want to invite the camp to go to the big restaurant together!" said the eighth company commander who was more experienced.

"Good thing! Is that one happy?" Although Xu Jingren was not happy with social engagements by nature, he is a new official after all, so he must have a good relationship with his subordinates!

When the boss immediately heard that he was admiring his face, the eighth company commander, who was overjoyed, immediately brought the whole story of this matter to a bamboo tube and poured beans into pieces!

He was talking about the beauty, but when Xu Jingren heard that the old battalion commander of the Third Battalion had just been treated to Cheng Jiazuo, who had just joined the Japanese Peace Army to the island, he didn't want to go.

Xu Jingren and Cheng Jiazuo have never had a lifetime, so they can't say that they have any personal dislikes. They were actually bad for the scene that happened in the market that day.

Xu Jingren was still racking his brains to think about how to not hurt the situation and turn off the wine.

With a creaking sound, a jeep that was rushing towards the American convertible hood bypassed several tents and stopped a few ten meters away from Xu Jingren and others. The young major who jumped out of the car was not the proud Cheng Jiazuo, who else could there be?!
Chapter completed!
