"Good Food, Clothes, Ammunition,
And a Chance to Kill More Japs"
Sure-footed pack mule provides transportation for Lt. Gen. Dan
I. Sulton over a sleep jungle trail. Central Sultan, finds some
of the qualitiot that make the GI an outstanding fighter inherent
in the Chinese soldier, too.
By HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Staff Correspondent
CALCUTTA, India When and
if American troops land in China,
they will have an intensely loyal
ally who can fight.
Chinese sodiers are tough, liar?
dv. well-trained. Lt. Gen. Dan
I. Sulton, commander of the In-
diu-Burmu theater, led them in
the North Burma offensive which
culminated in the capture ol
Bliuinp.
As a result of this victory the
amazing Ktilwell Ingnway, new
lifeline to China, was opened.
Five American-trained and led
Chinese divisions played the
principal role in this campaign.
Political corruption and want
greatly retarded the Chinese sol
dier, but speaking from experi
ence, General Sultan testifies that
properly trained, equipped and
supervised, he'll go to town.
"You must call him a Chinese
and not a Chinaman," cautions
General Sultan, a medium-sized
Mississippian who in appearance
greatly resembles the late Gen.
Hugh Johnson. "Americans at
home may have gathered that he
ig a docile sort, but nothing could
be farther from tho truth. He's
independent, possessing many
good old GI qualities, not the
least of which is that he will not
bow or kowtow to anyone. If you
don't get out of the way he'll
shove you off the trail, and no
one is shoving him off."
Lite is Cheap
General Sultan relates. a story
giving .you in insight into Ihe
psychology of the Chinese sol
dier. A patrol from the Chinese
,urniy in Uurniu was moving to
.ward a meeting' at ' Namhkan
with another from the Chinese
expeditionary furcq. -trained in
China. "Good food and clothes, a
hospital when you get siek and
plenty of ammunition," remarked
one of the Chinese troopers as he
trudged along. "And all they ask
you lo do is kill Japs."
Closely related to the air slip
py mission of the Eastern air
command was its troop carrier
mission. Movement of a large
number of troops by air was also
a standard operation. When the
Japs were hammering at Imphal,
two full divisions, complete with
equipment, were flown in from
the Arakuu. The attack on Myit
kyina was sustained with troops
flown into its captured air strip,
which was constantly under fire.
"On one such flight a Chinese
soldier ventured up to an open
door, and with a hand hold on
each side, stood there enjoying
1
reV--3 I
THE
the scenery," recalls General Sul
ton. "Another soldier motioned
as if to shove him out and, en
couraged by others, did precisely
that. They all took it as a huge
joke, one of them remarking that
the man who was shoved would
hit the ground first. Life is cheap
to them.
Jap Is Nasty, Bui Dumb
"Face is as important to them
as it is to the Japs. They'll fol
low their leader right down the
barrel of a Jap gun. They can
take it as well as dish it out, and
have suffered tremendous hard
ships. Many of those hospital
ized got up by day to fight.
' The Jap is a nasty fighter, but
he is as dumb as hell. If I were
going into one of those suicidal
banzai businesses, I'd be damned
if I wouldn't tuke ot least one of
the enemy with me. But not the
Jap. He succeeds in taking him
self." says General Sultan.
"The Chinese killed a lot more
Japs in North Burma than the
Japs killed Chinese. The Chinese
hed field days. So did the Ameri
cans. Yes, properly trained and
equipped, the Chinese is the
Jap's equal as a soldier."
.The main American story in
the Indla-Btirma theater com
manded by General Sultan is the
same that can be written every
where GI's are assembled outside
of the United States. It is "When
will we get home?" The GI's ask
about American girls, the food
and cigaret situations at home
and the Brooklyn Dodgers. Any
thing concerning America meets
with an eager smile and a flow
of questions. '
