Chapter 305: Confused

So Zhang Chi and other Chinese troops received a strange order: return to Rabaul. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The reason why this is a strange order is because this is when the Marshall Islands needs to be hired...... You must know that there are more than 1,100 large and small islands and reefs in the Marshall Islands, and even if there are no Japanese troops on all of them, it will only take several months to walk through all of them, not to mention that there may be Japanese troops stationed on these islands and reefs.

Taking a step back, even if this is to rest the Chinese army, the islands that have just been captured, such as Kwajalein Island and Woj Atoll, still need to be built, such as repairing the airfield as soon as possible, building warehouses that can accommodate supplies, and building dormitories for soldiers to live in.

Another strange place is that Rabaul is more than 1,000 nautical miles away from the Marshall Islands, like a division of tens of thousands of Chinese troops, plus aircraft carriers, warships, warplanes, etc., it takes two days to return to Rabaul, and if you want to go to the battlefield again, you need to rush from Rabaul to the front.

This is not only a problem of wasting resources, but also making Chinese troops run back and forth on the road.

Unless...... Then Zhang Chi thought of a question, unless the Yankees didn't want to let the Chinese troops show off on the battlefield anymore.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but nodded, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the newspaper on the table, and secretly said that he was to blame those talkative reporters for this. But that's fine, you can also let the Chinese soldiers go back to rest and rest!

So Zhang Chi did not hesitate and immediately conveyed the order.

Since the Chinese forces had their own navy, it was easy to organize, but the trouble was that the Higgins ships could not land during the day when the sea was low, so the Chinese troops had to wait until the late high tide to board the ships and sail towards Rabaul.

Of course, there was still a regiment of troops at Woje Atoll, and they were picked up on the return.

The warship was full of laughter, and the soldiers were excitedly discussing their experiences on the battlefield...... In the past, the soldiers of the navy and the air force were always silent, because they had never played a role before, so they could only listen and watch from the sidelines, but this time it was different, they also joined the army unit, and then discussed with great interest how they fought against the Japanese fighters.

The only thing to regret ...... The soldiers of the expeditionary force could not hear the cheers and cheers of their fathers and villagers.

This is also the bitterness buried in the hearts of every soldier of the expeditionary force, whose victories and achievements are no worse than those of any unit in the country, but they have never heard the condolences of the motherland for which they have sacrificed their lives. And these are very important for a unit, because this is to tell the soldiers the meaning of their battle, or to tell them that the motherland has not forgotten them, and the people of the motherland remember their merits!

But...... Has the Motherland really not forgotten them? Do you really remember their deeds?!

Zhang Chi has no confidence in this, in fact...... Zhang Chi believes that once this unit returns to China, it is very likely that it will be broken up and overthrown because of its previous "bad" record, and many generals will even be imprisoned or even lose their lives due to power struggles.

Every time I think of this, Zhang Chi feels helpless.

At this time, Zhang Chi finally realized the deep meaning of the phrase "people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes".

His original intention was just to save more people, so that the soldiers of the expeditionary force would not die under the butcher's knife of the Japanese in Burma or step into the Savage Mountain and become a pile of bones, but they walked and walked...... Before you know it, it's come to this point.

What is the future of the Expeditionary Force? Where is the way out?

Zhang Chi didn't know, he only knew that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier, and he wanted to put it down but couldn't...... At this time, Zhang Chi no longer seems to be following his own preferences to decide everything, but following the crowd, he tries to grasp every straw that can survive, but he has never been able to get the security he wants.

Perhaps, it would be naïve to want to be safe in these war years.

"Master!"

"Master!"

……

A few calls interrupted Zhang Chi's thoughts, and Zhang Chi turned around and saw that it was Zhang Junhua and Liu Guangzhong.

When I came back to my senses, I remembered that I had asked them to come to a meeting.

"Sit!" Zhang Chi hurriedly beckoned Liu Guangzhong and Zhang Junhua to sit down.

In fact, if in terms of military rank, Liu Guangzhong, the commodore general, is one level higher than Zhang Chi, and if you want to follow the rules of ****, it should be Zhang Junhua, the best colonel in the Air Force...... What can an army colonel count? If you say it's ugly, if you sacrifice, you will change someone! Commodore will have no status, in this point China is different from the United States and Japan, the United States and Japan Navy also have a status over the Army, and even the Navy will feel that the Army is an uneducated bun, but the Chinese Navy is different...... The Chinese Navy was basically a navy without ships, and it was almost idle in the Kuomintang troops during the Anti-Japanese War. The Air Force is another matter, all of them are raised with real money, and any pilot can walk sideways in the army.

However, this set is not practical in the expeditionary force, this is not to say that there are any new rules in the expeditionary force, but Zhang Junhua and Liu Guangzhong have only one word for Zhang Chi's "division seat", that is, "service"!

"You've read the newspapers!" Zhang Chi took the coffee handed by the orderly and raised his head at the newspaper on the table.

"I've seen it!" Zhang Junhua replied excitedly: "The third edition has talked about our air force and navy, and the fuck has finally taken a bad breath!" ”

Zhang Chi knew what Zhang Junhua was referring to when he said this bad breath...... Zhang Junhua was a pilot who participated in the Battle of Songhu, when the performance of Chinese fighters was far inferior to that of the Japanese army in all aspects, so they were almost vulnerable in front of the Japanese fighters, and now they have finally avenged with one arrow.

"Master!" Liu Guangzhong asked, "You say...... Let's see this newspaper in China! Although it is written in foreign language, will it be made into Chinese? ”

"Of course!" Zhang Chi nodded.

At this time, China needs such good news and excitement, and President Jiang will naturally not let go of this opportunity, and even President Jiang may exaggerate the results for propaganda...... In fact, this result does not need to be exaggerated at all, because it is already big enough.

"You guys played well!" Zhang Chi said: "But this time I called you here, and I didn't say this......

"That's ......," Liu and Zhang were a little puzzled.

"There's a saying that 'a gun shoots a bird in the head'!" Zhang Chi smiled and said: "After all, this is the territory of the Americans, and we are too popular, and we have suppressed the Yankees!" ”
