With a few "sudden bursts", two flares were fired into the air, and the surroundings were illuminated in an instant.

This sudden light couldn't help but make everyone present stunned, whether it was the expeditionary force or the Japanese army, because no one expected that a light would suddenly pop up in the sky at this time.

Xu Wen shouted at this time: "Brothers, kill devils!" ”

Xu Wen's shout, the soldiers quickly came to their senses, looked to the side, and were stunned to find that there were already many Japanese soldiers in the ranks, and the Japanese soldiers were also stunned to look at the Chinese soldiers in British military uniforms in front of them, completely forgetting to raise their guns to shoot.

By the time the Japanese army reacted and shouted to organize a resistance, it was already too late, and with the sound of gunfire and the sound of blades entering the flesh, the Japanese army was quickly knocked to the ground by the expeditionary force.

As mentioned before, most of the Japanese troops stationed on Makin Island were actually non-combatants, and their fighters were all in front of the US camp to carry out infiltration warfare, leaving behind Korean engineers, airport logistics troops, and maintenance personnel, etc., of course, the combat effectiveness of these people could not be compared with the main force, especially when they met the enemy in this situation, they were so frightened that they did not know what to do.

However, the battlefield is like this, it will never allow reasoning, and the reality is that this situation has happened: the expeditionary force has superior quality, superior numbers, superior equipment, and has also taken the Japanese army by surprise, so it only takes a few minutes to wipe out the Japanese army that is "mixed" in the troops...... It is not difficult to do this, it is easy to distinguish friend from foe in the bright light of flares, and there is still a big gap between each other's military uniforms and equipment.

At this time, Xu Wen actually didn't know where the Japanese defense line was, because most of the Japanese fortifications were built underground, and the range that the flares could illuminate was limited, and the location of the Japanese army could not be found for a while.

At this time, if the remnants of the Japanese army were smart, they should quietly and secretly deploy their forces, and then launch a surprise attack on the expeditionary force.

Zhang Chi believed that if these Japanese troops were combat units, they might choose to do so.

But they were not combat troops, and when they found that the enemy did not know when they had broken into their lines, they panicked and hurriedly fired at the expeditionary force before they could start their forces......

So Xu Wen quickly found the target from the direction where the gunshots came, where did he dare to hesitate, and with a wave of his big hand, he ordered: "Brothers, rush!" ”

"Rush!"

……

The soldiers shouted and rushed towards the Japanese trenches.

At this time, the charge was just right, and the Japanese troops had not yet had time to deploy...... To be exact, the Japanese army had just arrived in this direction to set up defenses, and the soldiers of the expeditionary force threw out pieces of grenades, and after the explosion of the grenades, there was another shout of killing, and many Japanese soldiers had already pierced their chests before they could react to what was going on.

The whole battle ended in half an hour, and the first battalion occupied the Japanese headquarters in the southeast, killing a Zhongzuo, three Shaozo, and several staff officers who were hiding inside...... This is not to say that the soldiers of the first battalion are ruthless, but the command is not much different from other Japanese bunkers, so the soldiers of the expeditionary force habitually threw two grenades into it, and then thought that there might be someone alive inside, so they stuffed an explosive bag into it......

But to be honest, it was not possible to fight the Japanese without this method, especially in that situation, and no one would have the leisure to shout into the bunker: "Listen, the people inside, you are already surrounded......"

The rest of the Japanese army was left uncommanded, and then they quickly surrendered.

The final count of the number of Japanese soldiers showed that there were a total of 105 Japanese soldiers who surrendered, of which 104 were Korean engineers and logisticians, and only 1 combatant, which also shows the strength of the Japanese army.

As for the infiltration warfare that is still being fought by the US military, Xu Wen will not get involved.

In fact, this kind of thing can't be mixed up, the Chinese army and the American army don't understand the language and it's difficult to identify, and when the Yankees themselves are all together, wouldn't the Chinese army add to the chaos if they go up again?

So Xu Wen calmly ordered the troops to clean up the battlefield and organize defense, he knew very well that the base of the Japanese army on Makin Island had been lost, and the headquarters had also been ended, so the Japanese army would not be able to jump anywhere.

The news quickly reached Halsey and others, who were located on the aircraft carrier "Essex".

MacArthur looked at the telegram dumbfounded, and said, "This can't be, there must be something wrong!" ”

"You slowly verify the truth of this information!" Zhang Chi tightened his belt and said, "I have to rush back to command the battle against Bito Island!" ”

Ignoring MacArthur's embarrassed expression, he walked out of the headquarters with the guards.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Chi returned to the "Pinghai" aircraft carrier, and Staff Officer Liang, who had been waiting for Zhang Chi for a long time, hurriedly greeted him with a few guards, and said in a little anxious: "Shizuo, why did you come back?" The offensive is about to begin! ”

Zhang Chi looked at his watch, it was less than ten minutes before nine o'clock.

He couldn't help but smile...... In fact, he could have flown back from the aircraft carrier "Essex" a long time ago to take command, but he just couldn't help but want to see what MacArthur's expression was after he knew that the problem that his two regiments could not solve, and that the Chinese army only needed one battalion to solve it in half an hour.

Zhang Chi was right, MacArthur's face on the aircraft carrier "Essex" at this time was very ugly, because he had already received news from Colonel Jones that the Japanese army had launched a suicidal charge at the American army at the last moment...... The U.S. troops are not afraid of such a charge, and they can pile up bullets and shells as usual.

It was also the last organized counterattack by the Japanese army.

It is clear that these Japanese soldiers launched a suicidal charge against the American troops after hearing that their base had been occupied and their headquarters had been destroyed, and that they knew that they had no hope of holding Makin Island.

"General!" Halsey brought a cup of coffee to MacArthur, who was sitting in a daze, and said, "If you want to find some loopholes in this information to prove that all this is false, then you are wasting your time!" ”

MacArthur shook his head with a wry smile and asked Halsey, "Rick, how did they do it?" ”

Halsey held up the coffee in his hand, took a sip, and replied, "This is the Chinese army, they know the Japanese best...... Not to mention that they are all Asians, even if we have been at war for less than two years, we have been enemies with the Japanese for less than two years, and the Chinese have been enemies with them for more than ten years. So that's normal, isn't it? We have a lot to learn from them! ”
