Chapter 285 Leaving Ramgarh



Chapter 285 Leaving Ramgarh

Since the training camp in Ramgarh started, the country has continuously drawn capable young soldiers and officers from all over the border to Ramgarh for training. At the same time, aspiring young people and college students from all over the country have also signed up to participate in the training.

As long as conditions permit, transport planes flying from the Yunnan West Airport to India have never stopped. At most, five to six hundred people can be transported to India in a day.

According to the original training plan, only the troops of the new 38th and 22nd divisions received the most complete training in the training camp. As for the other soldiers who were continuously transported from China, they would generally only receive 4 to 6 weeks of military training before being sent back to China.

After all, the Ramgarh training camp can only accommodate a limited number of soldiers.

Moreover, the main purpose of the Americans setting up the Ramgarh training camp was to train a group of excellent soldiers to counterattack Burma, retake Southeast Asia, and fight for the interests of Britain and the United States.

As for how difficult the war within China is, the United States and Britain don't care too much, as long as they don't surrender.

Even before, the British side had proposed a new battle plan to bypass Myanmar and send the navy to attack the Philippines and Indonesia. This plan completely abandoned Myanmar, which meant abandoning the Burma Road and the Chinese battlefield.

Fortunately, this plan was rejected by the United States, and Stilwell strongly supported China's war of resistance.

In a blink of an eye, Lu Cheng and his men had been in India for two months. The soldiers who came to the training camp with them had finished their training and returned to China, and the subsequent soldiers were also arriving one after another.

Lu Cheng relied on his relationship with Stilwell and his position as deputy chief instructor to allow his soldiers to continue training here until three months.

At this time, on the battlefield in the South Pacific, the Battle of Guadalcanal was also in full swing. The two sides engaged in unprecedentedly fierce battles at sea, on land, and in the air, and many soldiers died every day.

This was destined to be a battle that would cause the Japs a huge headache. According to later statistics, of the 3.6 Japanese troops participating in the Battle of Guadalcanal, were killed in action, died of starvation, and died of disease.

Many of those who survived suffered from mental illness, including a lieutenant general.

Of course, not only did the Japanese suffer heavy losses, but the American military also suffered heavy losses, including casualties, aircraft and warships.

The difference is that Japan is poor in resources and cannot withstand consumption, while the United States is a true industrial hegemon. No matter how many planes and warships are lost, they can build more in the shortest time.

As the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia, Stilwell was naturally paying close attention to this battle, and even often conducted sand table simulations with Lu Cheng based on the situation on the front line.

Lu Cheng would always use the detailed information about the Battle of Guadalcanal stored in the tablet computer he carried with him, as well as his own knowledge, to give some suggestions.

Whenever Lu Cheng made some very useful suggestions, Stilwell would always contact General Halsey in the South Pacific battlefield as soon as possible and provide them with some of Lu Cheng's suggestions for reference.

As it turned out, many of the suggestions put forward by Lu Cheng helped the US Marine Corps gain greater advantages and make faster progress in the Battle of Guadalcanal.

Because of this, Stilwell became more and more trusting of Lu Cheng, and gave Lu Cheng more rights in the training camp. For example, he could freely mobilize a certain amount of supplies and equipment, assist in changing training plans, etc.

This also greatly facilitated Lu Cheng to train his own personnel and attract college students who came here for training.

On this day, a new group of trainees arrived at the training camp. Lu Cheng used his position as deputy chief instructor to check the information of all the trainees and soon found some good candidates to recruit. At this time, Lu Cheng saw a familiar name on a list: "Zhang Lixian, a student of the 17th officer training class, the commander of the special forces battalion of Yu Xiaoqing's regiment..."

Zhang Lixian is one of the four generals under Yu Xiaoqing. He has good theoretical knowledge and practical ability. He has followed Yu Xiaoqing for more than ten years. He is loyal to Yu Xiaoqing and admires him extremely, and regards Yu Xiaoqing as his own belief.

Unfortunately, Zhang Lixian was later abandoned by Yu Xiaoqing at the Nantianmen, which led to the collapse of Zhang Lixian's faith and complete disappointment.

When Zhang Lixian and others saw Lu Cheng appear in the training camp and serve as an instructor in the training camp, they were also a little shocked.

Ever since Lu Cheng angrily confronted Yu Xiaoqing, Yu Xiaoqing's men have treated Lu Cheng and his men as enemies.

Lu Cheng and Yu Xiaoqing's troops were stationed on the east bank of the Nujiang River, and Yu Xiaoqing's regiment was located downstream of Zenda. However, the two groups did not belong to the same army and had no connection with each other, so no conflicts occurred between them normally.

There were only a few students in Yu Xiaoqing's regiment who came to participate in the training this time, and Lu Cheng didn't take it to heart. He was not going to embarrass a few soldiers who were brainwashed by Yu Xiaoqing.

Counting the time, it has been more than two months since I left Zenda. Although I often contacted Long Wenjian and others through telegrams and letters to understand the situation of my men, it was not as clear as being there in person.

Therefore, Lu Cheng was also considering returning to Zenda with his own company after the three-month training period was completed.

Although Ramgarh is good, Lu Cheng will not stay here forever. He also has to control his entire group.

After finishing a day's training, Lu Cheng took the initiative to find Stilwell: "Mr. Stilwell, I plan to return to China with this group of trained soldiers in half a month."

"Lu, are you leaving? I can't do that. I still need you to be my advisor. Many of the suggestions you made before were very useful. General Vandergrift and General Halsey in the South Pacific battlefield both thanked me. My training camp cannot do without you."

"Mr. Stilwell, I am also a regimental commander, and I cannot leave my soldiers for too long. Moreover, even if I return to China, I can still keep in touch with you. If the commander-in-chief is willing to accept another batch of my soldiers for training, I may come here often to serve as an instructor."

"Lu, of course that's no problem. You are my best advisor and a very good officer, and the soldiers under you are also excellent. Giving you these training places is definitely the most appropriate choice. If you are willing, I can give you another place in the battalion.

Of course, these places may need to be filled in batches, and you can arrange your soldiers to take turns to come for training."

"Thank you very much. I thank the commander-in-chief on behalf of my soldiers. Also, can you allow my soldiers to return with a full set of weapons and equipment?"

"That's not a problem. I can also give you ten additional 81mm mortars, ten bazookas, and the corresponding bullets and shells. I can arrange as many as possible for you. I believe that you can make the most of these weapons."

"Of course. Actually, what I want more is a 105mm howitzer."

"Lu, you are too greedy. Howitzers are only equipped by artillery battalions at the division level. However, if you can achieve more results on the battlefield, I can also give you two howitzers."

"Then let's make a deal! Commander-in-Chief, how about a hundred devils in exchange for a howitzer?"

"Lu, now you are more like a profiteer..."
