Kazuki Kiyoshi's judgment was that the US troops who had attacked the Kuah Island airport were hiding in the defensive ring built around the airport and were "trembling," waiting for them to go and regain the airport and make immortal achievements.

This idea made Kiyoshi Ichiki want to arrive that night and take the airport in one fell swoop, but unfortunately the thirty kilometers was not a short journey, and they walked in the dark for most of the night before they were halfway there.

By daybreak, Kiyoshi Kazuki had to lead his troops into the jungle...... He did not want the Americans to discover the traces of their troops and prepare them.

The path in the jungle was difficult, but it was not without its rewards, and they caught an indigenous man living on the island of Kuah on the way, and this native could speak English...... Kiyoshi Ichiki tortured the native in stiff Japanese English and a leather whip in the hope of getting some information about the U.S. military from him, but they failed to do so, and finally stabbed the native with a bayonet, and continued the march with the thought that he would not survive.

What the Japanese army did not expect was that this indigenous man survived such a serious injury, not only survived, but also bypassed them while the Japanese army was resting in the jungle, rushed to the Lunga defensive circle, and reported to the Sino-American coalition...... The natives ran into the American defense zone, and after saying only one sentence, "The Japanese are coming, to the west, there are many," they fainted.

(Note: The native's name was Jacob. Ucha, who was highly praised by the Allies for this heroic act, was later awarded the title of knight. Ucha died in 1984 at the age of 92. On the World War II memorial unveiled on Kuah Island on August 7, 1992, his statue is in the center. ）

The news soon spread throughout the Sino-American coalition forces, and the entire Sino-American coalition forces became nervous.

At this time, there were two voices in the Sino-US coalition army, and these two voices were actually the understanding of Ucha's "a lot".

What exactly is "a lot"?

If there are tens of thousands, it means that Zhang Chi's previous judgment was wrong, and the Japanese army already knew the strength of the Sino-American alliance. That's why "many" Japanese troops were sent up to seize the island. If this is the case, there is no need for Chinese and American reinforcements to hide their strength, and even hiding their strength will be a dangerous move, and if you are not careful, the Japanese may really break through the defense line.

If there are only one or two thousand people, or even less, it means that Zhang Chi's judgment is correct and should be carried out according to the original plan.

Zhang ...... What do you think? Clifton told Zhang Chi on the phone, "Most of my subordinates think that the Japanese have invaded in a big way. So we should get ahead of the curve! ”

"I'm still sticking to my point of view!" Zhang Chi replied: "This Japanese army may have a certain size, but they are not enough to pose a big impact on our defense line. Because...... If the Japanese were attacking on a large scale, it would not be possible to attack from only one side! ”

"Hmm!" After thinking about it, Clifton nodded and said, "So...... Just go ahead with the plan, we'll need time! It's good for us to confuse the Japanese! ”

Because he knew that the Japanese army was coming from the west, and this was facing the defense line where Zhang Chi's new regiment was located, Zhang Chi once again conveyed the order, asking all troops to retreat while fighting, and reduce the number of machine guns, so as not to beat the devils too hard.

Of course. At the same time, we should also pay attention to safety, and don't accidentally let the devil rush into the defense line and fight hand-to-hand combat.

In other words, this is still a technical task that is not easy to do, and if it were not for the new regiment that has been on the battlefield for a long time and is an old opponent of the Japanese army, it would not have dared to do so.

The whole day was uneventful, and except for a few Japanese reconnaissance planes circling in the sky, there was no sign that the Japanese were about to attack.

Zhang Chi was not surprised by this, because the Japanese army was good at night battles, even naval battles...... Therefore, most of them will recharge their energy during the day and choose to sneak attack at night.

By the time it gets dark. It's a little different.

First of all, several reconnaissance planes flew over Cape Lunga to harass them...... These reconnaissance planes were seaplanes that took off from Japanese cruisers, as they could land next to the cruiser at any time to resupply when they ran out of fuel. So you can rest assured that you can go around in circles on Kuah Island.

They dropped a bomblet or target flare downwards almost every ten minutes, and then the Japanese warships anchored offshore would fire several shells in the direction indicated by the flares...... Because this reconnaissance plane was small and annoying, the US military gave it the nickname: "Louie's lice."

There is also a large seaplane...... The Japanese pilots deliberately made a fuss about the engine and caused the parts to make a loud noise because they could not run in sync, and then flew low over Cape Lunga to harass the defenders of the island.

The plane was dubbed the "Charlie Washing Machine" by the U.S. military because of its noise that hummed like a huge old washing machine.

Pete was so annoyed by the noise and harassment of the devils that he couldn't sleep, turned over and sat up and scolded: "Go ****** the Japanese." Why didn't they attack right away?! ”

"Quiet, Pete!" Zhang Chi said: "You are just what the Japanese want, they just hope that you and the American soldiers will have such an irritating performance!" ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Pete couldn't help but suddenly realize, and after thinking about it, he asked again: "But...... The Japanese do this. Isn't that telling us that they're going to attack? ”

Pete was right, because the Japanese did not do this a few days ago, and only occasionally dispatched some Type 97 bombers that took off from the aircraft carrier during the day, but those bombers were also aimed at supply ships heading to Kuah Island on the sea.

Then if you do this tonight, there is a good chance that their intentions will be exposed.

"No!" Zhang Chi replied: "Have you noticed...... The bombardment of Japanese naval guns was more concentrated in the east. ”

Pete listened carefully and found that it was true, so he nodded and said, "The Japanese want us to think that they will attack from the east!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Chi casually pulled a straw pole beside him as a toothpick and picked his teeth: "Moreover, they don't know who their enemy is Chinese...... They thought that the opponent was the Americans. ”

"Why?" Pete was a little puzzled: "Does this make any difference?" ”

"Of course there is a difference!" Zhang Chi looked around at the Chinese soldiers around him who didn't take the noise seriously at all, and Pete quickly understood.

Chinese soldiers have grown up in a difficult environment for a long time, and they have endured all kinds of hardships, and this bit of noise and harassment is nothing to them at all, and American soldiers who grew up in greenhouses are another matter.
