Chapter 200 Military Regions Managed by the Chinese(1/2)
At noon on August 27th.
Feng Yuntian, Han Shaogong and others were still on the training ground and were sniffled by the head instructor Kinnisson.
More than 9,000 other soldiers stationed in India, led by more than 200 American instructors, also entered their respective military schools to start training.
As the two leaders of the Chinese army in India, Sun Liren and Stilwell were the most powerful.
At this moment, he brought a convoy of the headquarters full of guards stationed in India and US officials, and came to Lido hundreds of kilometers away from the Lambga base.
(It can also be translated as Redo in Chinese.)
The Lido area is located in the northeastern corner of India. It belongs to a small town in Assam. It is adjacent to the 800-mile Wild Man Mountain connecting the three countries of China, India and Myanmar.
Here is the Tingjiang Military Airport built by the United States, which is the closest connection point between China and India.
The most important distribution center for aiding materials in China!
It was also the starting point of the Stilwell Highway, which was famous in the future and was crucial to the counterattack of Myanmar. The Chinese army stationed in India took this as the starting point to annihilate the invading Japanese troops and fired the first shot of the counterattack of Myanmar.
There is also a large hospital dedicated to serving the Chinese army in India and jointly established by Britain and the United States -
Yuledo Hospital!
Whether in terms of logistics supplies, medical insurance, or in terms of transportation, liberal arts are the best strategic position.
Before the new 38th Division headed to the Lambga base for training, it stayed in Lido for more than three months.
He also gathered more than 7,000 Chinese soldiers and built a large military base here from scratch without the help of any large-scale equipment.
After the formal establishment of the Chinese army in India, Stilwell needed a frontier command center to serve as a base.
Although the Kolamga base is indeed large and perfect, it is too far from the India-Myanmar border line. After the war to counterattack Myanmar broke out, it is not suitable as a base for commanding battles.
From its base size and strategic location, it is only suitable for a rear training base and warehouse.
Out of trust in Sun Liren and the fact that there was such a rigid military need, Stilwell simply upgraded the command center where the new 38th Division was located and set it into a military region managed by the Chinese.
Named-
Lido Military Region!
The commander of the military region is also served by Sun Liren!
This Lido Military Region, located in the northeast corner of India, has become a frontier military center that integrates logistics supplies from the Chinese army stationed in India after the outbreak of the future counterattack Myanmar War, which combines the logistics supply of the Chinese army stationed in India, attacking and combat command.
Before, due to the busy and trivial matters of official business, Stilwell always wanted to go to this cutting-edge base, but he couldn't even get free.
Now that the Lambga base has officially started training, various weapons, ammunition and medicine supplies are being transported one after another, and soldiers in China are also being transported over in air.
The training work of the army stationed in India has basically stabilized. Stilwell, who had long wanted to come to this base to observe, could no longer resist the anxiousness in his heart.
So shouted.
On the morning of the first day of the training at the base, Stilwell pulled General Sun Liren and led a group of American officials who formed the General Command of the Indian Army to travel hundreds of kilometers from Lambgar to Lido.
The equipment of the Lido Military Region base is in a hidden place, and outsiders don’t know where it is.
The convoy left the main road and entered the dirt road in the mountains. He staggered on the bumpy road for a long time before finally stopping at the foot of a remote mountain.
There are more than a dozen thatched huts with simple structures here, gathering in large groups on a small flat ground.
There is also a big cow pen, which has a dozen mooing cows inside. It looks like a small village and is not even connected with a large military base.
If there weren't more than a dozen guards guarding everywhere, Stilwell would have thought the convoy had come to the wrong place.
The convoy stopped in the middle of a simple house cluster, a dirt open space of less than 10 meters wide, and 10 guards in the car jumped out of the car with guns.
With extremely professional movements and speed, the fleet is quickly protected in the middle.
These soldiers belong to the guard battalion of the military stationed in India and are responsible for the work of defending the General Command of the Indian Army. In order to ensure the safety of the General Command, they are taking the method of participating in the training in batches.
Stilwell got off the military jeep and was dissatisfied with the rudimentary environment.
This is not the frontier military base he imagined.
"General Sun!"
Stilwell walked to Sun Liren and said, "You and I know that the Lambga Base is just a training ground, and the Lido Military Region is the real base of the Chinese army stationed in India.
In my understanding and imagination, a frontier base of a military region should be a solid fortress and a comprehensive base that integrates all functions.
But here is so simple... I would like to ask, as the commander of the frontier base, where is your combat command?"
When Sun Liren heard Stilwell's questioning, he couldn't help but feel a little proud on the corner of his mouth, and did not immediately give the answer.
Deliberately sucking your appetite!
The left hand grew up and signaled forward, smiling and said, "Please follow me to review!"
"Um?"
Seeing that Sun Liren is so mysterious, Stilwell's curiosity was completely aroused.
The group of senior American officers behind him are also core members of the General Command of the Indian Army. They are also curious about what melons Sun Liren sells in the gourd.
The Americans whose interests were rekindled, followed Sun Liren and walked forward.
After passing through several thatched huts filled with miscellaneous objects and a cowshed full of pungent smell, I soon arrived at a large empty bamboo shed.
This bamboo shed is about 4 meters high, rectangular, with an area of about 40 square meters.
With a herringbone thatched roof, the walls on all sides are woven with bamboo slices, and there are 4 bamboo tables and some bamboo weaving debris inside.
It looks like a cattle farm, a place to eat for workers.
It's ordinary and has no characteristics.
But when the two guards guarding outside the bamboo shed came to the wall opposite the gate, grabbed the two inconspicuous bamboo tubes protruding from the wall, and pushed them to the right together.
“Rumbling…”
A sound of rollers carrying heavy objects sliding on the track sounded.
The "bamboo wall" that originally looked one, was separated from the middle.
Brush ~
A dazzling light came out from inside.
Under the illumination of bright lights, the world hidden behind the entire thick wall is the Lido Frontier Base that Stilwell wants to see.
It appeared before his eyes.
“Oh my god, that’s amazing.”
Seeing that he could drive into a large tunnel with a jeep with a height of more than 4 meters and a width of more than two meters, Stilwell opened his mouth in surprise.
The beautiful officials following Stilwell also stared at the eyes of bulls.
All of us here are professional military personnel. I already understand what happened here. At the same time, I was extremely shocked.
Without the help of large-scale industrial equipment, it is purely through manual excavation.
It is difficult to hollow out a mountain to build a base inside, at least this group of senior American officers had never seen it before.
Today is the first time I have seen it in my life, and it is truly a good time to open my eyes.
Shocked by the strong creativity of the people in the world!
This disguise ability is perfect!
"Please."
Sun Liren was very satisfied with Stilwell's reaction. He was feeling comfortable with the feeling of national honor and reached out to invite Stilwell to walk into the base gate.
As the two of them officially entered the base through the gate, various departments with clear and orderly divisions were also reflected in everyone's eyes.
There is an equipment department full of various weapons and firearms,
There is a communications department full of ticks and ticks,
There is a busy and busy intelligence department,
...
There is an ordinary small village outside, but it is so lively inside.
Stilwell, who was moving forward along the passage, and a group of senior American officers, looked at the orderly various departments along the passage, and shocked words came out from his mouth.
“Oh God!”
“This is incredible.”
"You retreated from Myanmar. The British were afraid that you would occupy their colonies and did not provide you much help. How did you do it."
"This is too hidden, so there is no need to worry about the Japanese air strikes here."
"Is this really dug out by manpower? It's incredible."
...
Amid the various amazement of Americans such as Stilwell, Sun Liren's smile of deep merit and fame, the group passed through a hundred meters of tunnel, passed through various departments of the base, and finally arrived at the innermost part of the base.
It is also the most core position!
