Chapter 606: Pressure
In fact, the kind of operation Zhang Chi said was not so much an infiltration war as a special operation, and the "Second Independent Battalion" that Zhang Chi trained in the northeast ...... This is where this comes in handy, especially since the 2nd Independent Battalion has recruited a group of soldiers who can speak fluent Japanese. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"But ......," Geiger then asked, "what good can it do?" I mean...... The Japanese will certainly not put ammunition and supplies in one place, and even if we can successfully blow up one or two of their warehouses, the Japanese will still hold on to the lack of ammunition! ”
Zhang Chi understood what Geiger meant, in fact, at this time, the ammunition and supplies of the Japanese army were scattered and stored...... This is the common sense of the Japanese army stationed on the island, if the ammunition is stored in one place, then once the location of the warehouse is known to the US military, then bombers and naval guns will be concentrated to bomb it...... Then the campaign was almost over.
Of course, the Japanese army was not so stupid, as early as after the Battle of Guadalcanal, they knew that they would disperse the ammunition into multiple warehouses for storage, so that on the one hand, the ammunition could not be wiped out by the enemy, and on the other hand, it would also reduce the difficulty of supply.
Thereupon...... As Geiger said, even if one or two warehouses can be blown up, even if the relationship between the Japanese army and the people of Okinawa can be divided, what can be done? And what role can it play in the battle situation?
Americans don't know about this, but Zhang Chi can't be clearer...... The masses are the foundation of the army, and the reason why the Japanese army was able to fight like a fish in water in Okinawa was that in addition to the correct application of Ushijima Man's tactics, propaganda and deception of the people of Okinawa were also very important.
Originally, the people of Okinawa did not support the Japanese army, because when the Japanese army ruled Okinawa, it was completely a kind of condescending attitude of colonizers and colonized, and the middle and high-ranking officials were always Japanese, and the people of Okinawa were only at the mercy of the Japanese.
Ushijima Mitsuru was also very aware of this, so he thought of a way to get the people of Okinawa to support the Japanese army...... The U.S. military was described as very brutal, so that the people of Okinawa chose one of the two, and felt that it was better to choose the Japanese army, so they sided with the Japanese army.
If...... If the people of Okinawa can realize the lies of the Japanese army, then the blow to the Japanese army will be drawn from the bottom of the kettle!
Zhang Chi didn't know how to tell Geiger, and it was impossible to explain to the Americans what "military and civilian fish and water conditions" and the like.
After thinking about it, Zhang Chi could only say: "General, this looks ...... on the surface It is only engaged in some small damage, but it may cause contradictions within the Japanese and increase the pressure on the Japanese army! ”
"What about increasing the pressure on the Japanese army?" The character of Americans is that they like to hit the nail on the head, for example, planes, artillery, and tanks, and they really don't disdain this kind of strategy of going around or hiding needles in cotton.
"And then we'll wait!" Zhang Chi replied: "I believe it...... When the pressure reaches a certain level, the Japanese will abandon their current defensive strategy and will not be able to hold their breath to launch a counterattack against us! ”
"Oh!" That's when Geiger finally got the final answer.
Then he asked suspiciously: "Major General, do you mean...... If we harass the Japanese like this, will they be unable to hold their breath and launch a counteroffensive? ”
"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied: "Just like when the Japanese harassed us, you and your subordinates ...... What do you think? ”
Geiger nodded slowly, because when they were harassed by the Japanese army, the American army did want to fight a good battle with the Japanese army with a stomach full of anger, but they couldn't fight it.
In fact, human nature is almost the same, and Japanese people are also human beings, and they will also have a similar mentality when they encounter such a situation.
What Zhang Chi didn't explain was ...... He understands the "bushido" spirit of the Japanese and the mentality of the Japanese who are ready to jump out of the trenches and "break the jade" with the enemy at every turn, which is the main reason why the vast majority of the Japanese attack on the battlefield and attack again.
At this time, the Japanese troops stationed in Okinawa did not attack, but blindly defended...... Simply because their commanders ordered them to do so.
It can be expected that the Japanese army has become a little unstable in this state of defense, defense and defense, or it can also be said that the Japanese army is in a dispute between attack and defense, if Zhang Chi finds more reasons for the "attacking" side to push them, then it is very likely to lead the Japanese army out.
"Are you sure this will work?" Geiger still couldn't believe it.
Zhang Chi spread his hands: "There is no loss to us in doing this, is it?" Why not give it a try? ”
Geiger nodded again, to be exact, this is no loss to the American army...... As for the infiltration warfare, only the Chinese army can do it.
So, why not give it a try?!
"What are we supposed to do?" Geiger asked.
"I'm in charge of the infiltration war!" Zhang Chi said: "The US military side ...... Be sure to make an example and treat the injured and sheltered Okinawans as much as possible, and let them shout at the areas controlled by the Japanese! ”
"Hmmm! It's easy! ”
This is indeed very simple, the Americans have been kind to the people of Okinawa, and they have provided food and necessary medical treatment for the Okinawans in a humanitarian spirit, and even temporarily relocated them to a safer place in the rear.
This is completely inconsistent with the image of the US military propagated by the Japanese.
On this basis, the US military only needs to do some superficial work, and it is very easy to get those Okinawan people to shout in the Asah-controlled areas that are willing.
"On the other hand...... Prepare some flyers! Zhang Chi borrowed from the practice in the Northeast: "Write in Japanese or manga, and use the transport plane to drop the food in it!" ”
"No problem!" Geiger took a bite to take.
This is nothing for the US military...... However, there was still some trouble in doing it, and the printing problem could not be solved, so in the end, a few printing presses and paper were airlifted from the United States to proceed smoothly.
"Other ......" Zhang Chi pointed to the border between the United States and Japan on the map and said, "You guys should be equipped for defense!" Think about how the Japanese will counterattack if they want to counterattack, where will they use as a breakthrough, and how our army will blockade it! ”
"Okay!" Geiger said, "But...... Major general. To be honest, I don't believe the Japanese will counterattack, although I hope they will! But unless they're crazy, what reason do they have to do that? ”
"So...... You don't know the Japanese! Zhang Chi replied: "Let's see!" ”
"We'll see!" Geiger said, "I hope you're right! “
