The soldiers of the New Seventh Army trained very hard, training during the day and at night, except for eating and sleeping for five hours a day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And this is precisely one of the benefits of the Chinese army, the soldiers of the Chinese army can endure hardships and endure, and if this is put on the head of the US military, it should be unbearable.

But even so, Zhang Chi still felt that the time was too short...... The preparation time from beginning to end was only 16 days, and even if the Chinese soldiers were still training when they were about to go to the battlefield, they still felt uncertain.

This is a bit like the feeling of the college entrance examination back then, usually I feel okay, but when I get to the exam, I always feel that this will not be and that, I want to read more and memorize a little more, and sometimes I feel that I can't do anything.

Even until the last day, several regiment commanders such as fellow villagers were still arranging training subjects.

Zhang Chi gave an order...... "All of them have it, all training will be canceled, and all will rest."

This made several regiment commanders under Zhang Chi not agree.

"Master!" When he received this order, the second regiment commander ran into the headquarters with a anxious face and said, "How can you cancel the training? Seeing that the battle is about to start tomorrow, the coordination between the infantry of our regiment and the landing vehicle is still in chaos! ”

"Master!" Then the fellow townsmen and the third regiment commander also walked into the headquarters with their front and back feet.

"This new equipment has come in so many times, and I haven't mastered the essentials yet!" The fellow townsman said: "Let us practice again, otherwise there may be chaos in the fight!" ”

"Can you practice well after another day?" Zhang Chi asked rhetorically, "Can you use these equipment proficiently?" ”

"This ......" was asked by Zhang Chi, and several regiment commanders were speechless.

"It's not just equipment to fight a war!" Zhang Chi replied: "It depends on people!" Compared to it, our equipment is already much more advanced than that of the devils, and our combat experience and quality are not weaker than those of the devils, so what else can't be defeated? ”

"Master, we're not afraid...... It's about practicing more until the time comes......"

"Now is not the time to practice!" Zhang Chi replied: "On the last day, no matter how much you practice, you won't be able to practice anything, let the soldiers rest well, recuperate and fight a good battle tomorrow!" ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

……

"And!" When several regiment commanders were about to retreat, Zhang Chi added: "Tell the soldiers, don't panic, don't mess up because of the new equipment, fight how you should fight tomorrow, this battle is not difficult to fight, understand?" ”

This is to avoid the hesitation of soldiers on the battlefield after taking over new equipment, and "hesitation" on the battlefield is the most terrible, it will turn a well-trained soldier into a recruit who does not know how to fight.

From this point of view, Zhang Chi also prefers not to have these new equipment, because these new equipment has become a factor affecting the psychological state of the soldiers.

But then again, there is always a process for the troops to adapt to the new equipment, and when this process is over, its effect can be reflected on the battlefield.

In fact, in this battle, it was not only the Chinese troops who felt "uncertain in their hearts", but also the US troops also generally had obstacles such as "time constraints" and "lack of accurate target information". Although everyone knew that the battle was imperative in advance, they were all a little apprehensive because of their lack of preparation.

The next day, "Fusilier 2" unfolded in this uncertain mystery of the Sino-American coalition.

The first was the usual overwhelming bombardment, targeting the three islands in the centre of the archipelago: Kwajalein Atoll, Maloelap Atoll and Voj Atoll.

The bombing was mainly carried out by escort carriers...... The defense and anti-sinking ability of the escort aircraft carrier are relatively weak, but its combat effectiveness in bombing and combat is not worse than that of the light aircraft carrier, after all, when the fighter plane flies into the air, its combat effectiveness is reflected by the fighter, and it has little to do with whether the aircraft carrier itself is an escort aircraft carrier or the main aircraft carrier.

Of course, escort aircraft carriers do not fight alone, they also need capital aircraft carriers or light aircraft carriers to protect them.

Out of consideration for this factor, the US military organized the aircraft carriers carrying out the mission in the center of the archipelago into three groups, each of which had a main aircraft carrier and a light aircraft carrier, and the main task of these aircraft carriers was to seize air supremacy and strike at the Japanese air power.

In addition, there are two or three escort carriers, which are used to bomb the islands and assist the main carriers in operations.

But in fact, the task of the main aircraft carrier can be said to have been completed at the first time...... However, it cannot be said to be completed, because at this time, the Japanese were implementing the "Z" plan, which avoided the important and trivialized.

In fact, when the main fleet of the US military suddenly appeared in the center of the Marshall Islands, it really caught the Japanese by surprise.

"What's going on?" When Koga Fengyi received the telegram, he asked the staff officer in surprise: "Didn't you say that the United States ghost beasts focused their attacks on the three outer islands?" Why did you suddenly appear near Kwajalein Atoll? ”

"Your Excellency, General!" Staff Officer Ito replied, "I think...... This should be the plan of the Americans to attack the east and west, on the surface it seems to be to attack the periphery, but the real purpose is to directly destroy the command center of our army and divide the entire Marshall Islands into two parts that cannot be supported! ”

Koga Feng looked at the map and nodded heavily, because the three islands and reefs selected by the Americans happened to be in a straight line, and the three islands and reefs also had airfields, if the Americans occupied these three islands and reefs and used the airfields on them, then the American planes would forcibly divide the Marshall Islands into several parts...... And it's just a few parts of how American planes bomb!

Therefore, Koga Peak has no choice but to defend these islands and reefs, otherwise the loss of the Marshall Islands is just a matter of time.

But in fact, Koga Feng still has a voice in his heart...... The loss of the Marshall Islands has always been a matter of time, but everyone, including Koga Minaichi, is unwilling to admit it.

What Koga Mine can do now is to do his best to delay and consume.

Delay refers to delaying time so that the rest of the Japanese line of defense has more time to prepare.

To attrition was to deplete the equipment and strength of the Americans in order to relieve the pressure that the rest of the Japanese line of defense might face.

After thinking about it, Koga Mine gave an order: "Inform Yamada-kun and implement the 'Z' plan immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Staff Officer Ito immediately conveyed the order.

Otherwise, with six American aircraft carriers plus eight escort aircraft carriers, as well as US land-based air forces from Makin Island, Tarawa Atoll, and Abbemama Island, I am afraid that the Japanese air force in the Marshall Islands will cease to exist as soon as Bu comes into contact with it.
