"Fair?" Nimitz replied: "There is no fairness on the battlefield, and neither before the national interest!" The performance of the Chinese military is indeed admirable, but we can't sacrifice our own interests to make them, you know? ”

"Yes, General!" It was a long time before Halsey put down the phone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He felt a little sorry for the Chinese troops, because it was obvious that the most dangerous stage for them to fight, and when it was time to reap the fruits...... But they had to force them to stop and let the Americans get on.

In this sense, Halsey was also unfit to participate in politics, which is one of the reasons why he retired shortly after the war.

But now Halsey had to do it again, and after thinking about it, he answered the phone from Zhang Chi.

"Colonel! I heard that you have already captured the 'Wolf's Horns'! Halsey said, "Congratulations! ”

"Yes, thank you, General!" Zhang Chi was a little surprised, Halsey would never call at this time just to congratulate.

Not to mention that it is too early to say congratulations, it is a tense moment when the "Wolf Horns" organize defense and launch a more fierce attack at the same time, and the supply of materials and the transportation of reinforcements need to be deployed, and any delay in time may delay the fighters.

"Then ......," said Halsey, "your task for today is accomplished!" ”

Zhang Chi had a hint of foreboding, he frowned and asked, "General, I don't understand what you mean!" ”

"Our plan is to take the 'wolf's horns' before it gets dark, isn't it?" Halsey replied, "You did, and you did it well!" ”

"But...... The Japanese are now in a big rout! We should take this opportunity to expand our gains......"

"Nope! I don't think so! Halsey replied, "It's dangerous, I mean...... You only have one regiment of troops, and the Japanese have two to three times the strength of yours, we should fight steadily, shouldn't we? ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but say for a while, the Chinese army does have only one regiment, but isn't there still a US army? Send the U.S. military to the "wolf's horn" and then let the Chinese army fight freely, then Kwajalein is basically the world of the Sino-US coalition forces?! What's more, if this one continues to be pursued, and it is still pursued and killed by the Chinese army, which has about 60 "Sherman" tanks, I don't know how many Japanese troops will be killed or wounded.

But Zhang Chi knew that these reasons were not these, he believed that Halsey would not be stupid enough not to know this, so there must be a reason why Halsey would do this, and this reason was useless no matter how much he objected.

"So be it! Captain! "You've done a good job, and the next thing you have to do is clear the Wolfhorn of the enemy and build fortifications," Halsey said. And...... You also need to rest, and the rest will be left to the 3rd Marine Division, which will land tomorrow morning and attack the rest of Kwajalein!" ”

So Zhang Chi understood that Halsey was going to send the 3rd Marine Division to pick the fruits of victory.

But Zhang Chi didn't say anything, just replied, "Yes, General!" ”

Zhang Chi understands that no matter how he argues, it is useless, and even Zhang Chi feels that Halsey should do this, because only interests are talked about between countries, and this is interests.

At the same time, this also made Zhang Chi realize that it was time to consider the interests of the New Seventh Army.

Then Zhang Chi called Wu Yuhang and ordered: "Stop advancing and stay put!" ”

"What? Divisional ......"

Wu Yuhang was a little puzzled by this order, but Zhang Chi did not give him any chance to argue.

"Execute the order!" Zhang Chi ordered.

"Yes!" Wu Yuhang replied helplessly.

As a result, the Chinese army soon began to deploy defenses at the "Wolf's Horn", which was surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the Chinese army also had 60 "Sherman" tanks, so it was very easy to defend...... It only takes sixty "Shermans" to line up at intervals in the defensive direction to form an impenetrable steel line.

This kind of defense line is very dangerous if it is facing other enemies such as the German army, and the German army will easily open a hole in this defense line and go straight to the rear of the defense line, which will make the vast majority of the "Shermans" on the defense line become scrap metal because they have no time to return to defense.

But against the Japanese ...... They basically have no weapons that can destroy the "Sherman", so such a defense line is very effective, and what the Chinese army has to do is to lay some barbed wire, mines, observation posts, open and secret sentry posts in front of this steel defense line composed of "Sherman", and then prepare infantry behind the defense line, and then put artillery behind it, and the entire defense line is basically impregnable.

The Japanese on the other side were a little confused by this trick of the Chinese.

"You mean...... The Chinese stopped pursuing and stationed in place? Koga Mine couldn't believe it when he heard this information.

Originally, he thought that Kwajalein Island was going to play like this, knowing that it was sixty "Sherman" tanks plus wolf-like Chinese troops, and the 61st Garrison even had more combat experience, and the two brigades of the 1st Marine Mobile Brigade were like lambs to the slaughter in front of them.

If the Chinese army continues to pursue in this way, then the "defensive counterattack" tactics will collapse on all fronts before they can be launched in a hurry...... Under the cover of "Sherman", the Chinese pursued even faster than the Japanese escaped, as can be seen from the battle on Woje Island.

"Yes!" Staff Officer Ito replied: "They stopped at the 'wolf's horn' position to defend!" ”

"Why did they do that?" Koga Fengichi frowned: "Why don't they continue to pursue?" Doesn't this give us a respite? Don't...... What's the conspiracy here? ”

Koga Fengyi didn't blame him for thinking so, this is because Koga Fengyi is naturally suspicious, and on the other hand, the performance of the Chinese troops on the battlefield has always been excellent, especially that Zhang Chi, Koga Fengichi believes that Zhang Chi will not make such a low-level mistake.

Until Koga got a piece of information...... The Marshall Islands were colonized by the Japanese army, and each island had an eyeliner laid by the Japanese army.

This information said that the US military transport ships were gathering in the direction of "Wolf's Horn", and that there were also small batches of US troops landing on the island one after another, so Koga Mine understood it.

"I see!" Koga Fengichi said to himself: "It seems that there is a problem in the cooperation between the Chinese and the American ghost animals!" ”
