"Master!" Wu Yuhang immediately raised a question: "It may be okay to use night attacks on this 382 heights, but there is a bit of a problem with Zhebo Mountain...... After our reconnaissance, Mt. Oriba is located at the southernmost point of the island, and it is surrounded by sea on three sides and only one side is connected to the rest of the other islands, and the Japanese army has fortified it on this side in order to attack it without the knowledge of the devils...... That's almost impossible! ”

Wu Yuhang was right, the terrain of Zhebo Mountain was very dangerous, and in history, the US military barely took it by using bombs and shell piles and paying heavy casualties. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAt this time, the Chinese troops, on the one hand, did not have enough bombs and shells to fight like this, and on the other hand, they could not afford such heavy casualties.

Staff Officer Liang interjected: "And with the strength of one regiment of the second regiment, it is not enough to sneak attack two heights at the same time!" ”

Zhang Chi nodded: "That's why there is a second aspect...... The second regiment was responsible for attacking the 382 heights, and the first regiment was responsible for attacking Oriba Mountain! ”

"A lump?" The fellow villagers were a little puzzled: "But...... We haven't landed yet! ”

"You don't need to log in!" Zhang Chi said: "You are attacking from the sea...... In detail, it is to take the Higgins ship from the sea to approach the Oriba Mountain, surround the Oriba Mountain on three sides, and then swim and land with arms...... Take down the Origashi Mountain with lightning speed! ”

There was an instant silence in the conference room...... All of them did not think of this, their minds were accustomed to landing first and then attacking the target, never thinking that they could attack the target directly without landing.

"It's a good idea!" Staff Officer Liang nodded and said, "The devil was afraid and didn't expect that we would attack directly from the sea...... You know, it's a dead place if it's used for landing, so their defense and vigilance on these fronts must be insufficient! ”

What Staff Officer Liang said was common sense that everyone knew, and on three sides of the foot of the Oribo Mountain, there were only a few dozen or even a dozen meters of open space...... If they landed from these sides, the troops would not be able to deploy at all, and there were Japanese fortifications overhead, and the Japanese army almost only had to pull a grenade and throw it down...... You can blow the landing force back into the sea.

However, it was precisely because of this that the Japanese army could not have imagined that the Chinese army would attack from these sides, and it would attack at night.

"No problem!" Zhang Chi asked his fellow villagers.

"No problem!" The townsman stepped forward and replied, "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" ”

Zhang Chi turned his gaze to Wu Yuhang again, and Wu Yuhang also stepped forward and replied: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

Wu Yuhang was on fire because he was killed and wounded by the Japanese army that night, and this task was just right for him.

Then the Chinese army began to develop a detailed battle plan...... For this battle, Zhang Chi did not dare to take it lightly, so he personally participated in the formulation of detailed plans, such as the offensive route of the second regiment, the transfer of reserves, the transportation of supplies for the first regiment, etc., every detail was discussed and discussed until it was considered that there were no loopholes and could be acted upon.

However, while the Chinese army was intensively planning an offensive, the Japanese side had the idea of slackness.

Needless to say, why there is such a thought...... It was because they knew that there was a fleet that would reinforce Iwo Jima.

"This will be the first defeat of Chinese troops in the Pacific theater!" Kuribayashi Tadamichi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he got the information.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" Yoshitaka Horie looked at the information on the telegram, frowned and said, "But...... The troops who came to reinforce did not have aircraft carriers, but Chinese had aircraft carriers, which ......"

Yoshitaka Horie was worried that the Japanese fleet would be routed by the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese army.

This worry is normal, because until the war has been fought, as long as everyone knows the importance of aircraft carriers in naval warfare, there is no comparison between a fleet with an aircraft carrier and a fleet without an aircraft carrier.

"Don't worry, Horie-kun!" Kuribayashi said lightly: "Although we don't have an aircraft carrier, but ...... Iwo Jima is still in our hands, and the three airfields on the island are still under our control. Other than that...... During this time, we did not see the appearance of the 'shrewd' fighter plane of the American ghost animal! ”

The "shrew" mentioned here by Kuribayashi Tadamichi refers to the "Hellcat" fighter...... because it is very strong, so it is often called a "shrew" or "aluminum tank" by American soldiers, and because this fighter is a new equipment of the US military, the US military kept it strictly secret, and the Japanese army at this time only heard the nickname of the "Hellcat" fighter.

It should be said that the United States has done a fairly good job in secrecy work...... They are well aware that if the secrecy work is done well, it will often turn into combat effectiveness on the battlefield, and thousands of enemies will die because of their ignorance of this equipment.

For example, the shells of the U.S. military's proximity fuses...... At this time, the US military even stipulated that such fused bombs could only be used under the condition that they would not fall into the hands of the enemy.

In other words, it can generally be used for air defense operations in the deep sea, but cannot be used when attacking islands or offshore waters, otherwise it will ...... If a shell falls into the hands of the enemy because the fuse or other problem does not explode, then there is a possibility that the secret has been leaked.

"It's true that there are no 'shrew' fighters!" Yoshitaka Horie replied, "That is...... The Chinese are not equipped with 'shrew' fighters? ”

"Quite possibly!" Kuribayashi nodded: "The Chinese army is not an American after all, and the Americans will not hand over their most advanced fighters to them." So...... Our Zero fighters still have an advantage against the Chinese' 'Wildcat' fighters. Vice Admiral Sato is doing his best to gather for us in Japan the fighters that are still ready for a good fight, and they will arrive on Iwo Jima at the same time as the fleet in three days! ”

"I see!" Hearing this, Horie Yoshitaka couldn't help but suddenly realize.

After thinking about it, Horie Yoshitaka added: "On the other hand, the American fleet is all pinned down in the Philippines, and the closest airport to Iwo Jima is the Mariana Islands, which are more than 1,000 kilometers away...... This is all outside the combat radius of its carrier-based aircraft! That is, it is impossible for the Americans' 'shrews' to appear over Iwo Jima......"

"Hmm!" Kuribayashi nodded: "This is a perfect opportunity for Zero Combat!" And as soon as we achieve victory in the air, then the Chinese fleet will have to retreat, and the Chinese fleet will retreat...... That would almost mean our total victory on Iwo Jima! ”

Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Kuribayashi Tadado's eyes: "For those Chinese who stay on the island and have no time to withdraw, I will make them pay!" We must not let them run away from ......" (To be continued.) )
