Chapter 342: Plan Ahead
The opinions of several regiment commanders were quickly unified...... This is not a difficult question to think about, but the two regiment commanders, Wu Yuhang and Lin Zuowang, only want to kill a few more devils, so they didn't expect that such a move by the US military is actually beneficial to the expeditionary force and even China. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If Principal Jiang heard that there was such a thing, then he would definitely be happy.
After a few regiment commanders left, Zhang Chi rubbed his slightly aching forehead, although it was convenient to fly back and forth between Rabaul and Kwajalein, it still made Zhang Chi a little uncomfortable, especially after enjoying the air-conditioned room on Kwajalein Island, and then staying next to Rabaul, a volcano that was still smoking.
Zhang Chi wanted to rest for a while and then go back to Kwajalin Island, but after thinking about it, he said to Staff Officer Liang: "Let Liu Guangzhong and Zhang Junhua come here!" ”
"Yes!" Staff Officer Liang answered, and immediately went to contact Liu and Zhang.
More than half an hour later, Liu Guangzhong and Zhang Junhua stood in front of Zhang Chi...... The reason why it took so long was because they were piloting the "Pinghai" for sea training, and they hurriedly took a plane back when they heard the order.
"Master!" The two saluted in front of Zhang Chi.
"Hmm!" Zhang Chi asked, "I heard that you are training?" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Junhua replied: "The time we have been using aircraft carriers is too short, we have to make up a lot of lessons, and the pilots are not very proficient in taking off and landing. ”
Zhang Chi nodded with satisfaction, Liu and Zhang still made Zhang Chi feel at ease, and they have always maintained a good enthusiasm.
After a pause, Zhang Chi said: "Let's put down the other training for the time being, and focus on training to deal with the bombing of devil fighters in the recent period!" ”
"Dealing with the bombardment of devils?" Hearing this, Liu and Zhang couldn't help but be stunned.
"Master, this ......" Liu Guangzhong was puzzled and wondered if he had heard it wrong.
"Any questions?" Zhang Chi asked.
"......No," Liu Guangzhong replied, "I mean...... Isn't the devil navy all unable to shrink back? We should practice take-off and landing and fighter bombing! ”
"Yes, Master!" Zhang Junhua agreed: "The Yankees also practice these subjects, in order to better cooperate with the landing of ground troops in the next attack, and the American advisers also mean this...... How could the master be ......?"
"If nothing else, what about the last time?" Zhang Chi asked rhetorically: "Isn't our aircraft carrier attacked by Japanese devil fighters?" ”
Hearing this, Liu and Zhang couldn't help but be stunned.
"Last time, it was a special case!" Liu Guangzhong replied: "It just so happened that our aircraft carrier was left alone, so let the devil catch it!" ”
"Do you really think that's the case?" Zhang Chi shook his head slightly, and then reminded: "Have you forgotten who our aircraft carrier was handed over?" ”
"Oh!" Zhang Junhua replied: "The meaning of the division seat is ...... Because this aircraft carrier was surrendered from the devils, so the Japanese devils want to descend as soon as possible? ”
Zhang Chi just smiled and didn't answer.
"That's what the teacher said...... It seems that this is really the case! Liu Guangzhong replied with a worried brow: "This aircraft carrier has been surrendered by us, and it will definitely be regarded as a shame by the Japanese, with the character of a small Japan...... We have to wipe out this shame, especially since this aircraft carrier was still grabbed by us Chinese! ”
Zhang Junhua nodded, Liu Guangzhong said "grabbed by us Chinese", referring to the general psychology of small Japan looking down on the Chinese troops, the more it looks down on the Chinese troops, the more it refuses to admit defeat, so the more the aircraft carrier was robbed, the more it will become a shame for the Japanese Combined Fleet, especially the long-term disagreement between the Japanese army and the navy, so this will become the handle of the Japanese army to ridicule the navy.
Zhang Junhua guessed this correctly, since the incident of the Japanese aircraft carrier "Xianghe" being captured by the Chinese army spread, the Japanese army has been filled with righteous indignation: "Doesn't the navy look down on the army? Then the Japanese Army defeated the Chinese Army on the Chinese battlefield, while the Chinese Army captured the naval aircraft carrier...... That's an aircraft carrier built by the army with steel and money to build tanks, and it fell into the hands of the Chinese like this, what is going on?! ”
Especially at this time, when the Japanese army and navy were coordinating the defense of the Mariana Islands, the Japanese army turned over the matter and scolded the navy angrily, but the navy was scolded so much that it did not dare to respond to half a word.
Zhang Chi continued: "We are different from the Yankees, who have a lot of aircraft carriers...... Even if it is sunk and injured by the explosion, it will soon be able to build another one. But what about us? The 'Pinghai' is our first aircraft carrier and our only aircraft carrier, and the reason why the Yankees handed over this aircraft carrier to us is because of operational needs, and because this aircraft carrier is a Japanese aircraft carrier, which is not in a system with the Yankees' aircraft carrier, and it is difficult for them to play a role in their hands. So you guys want to ...... If this aircraft carrier is damaged or even sunk, do you think the Yankees will give us another aircraft carrier? ”
Liu Guangzhong and Zhang Junhua couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, they really hadn't thought about this problem before.
"So, our focus should not be on the coordinated landing force landing." Zhang Chi said: "These tasks are done by the Americans, and our focus should be on organizing defense, just like last time, in the face of the Japanese attack, we can block the enemy's fighters and bombers from the firepower and ensure the safety of the aircraft carrier, understand?" ”
"Shizuo is right!" Zhang Junhua agreed: "We will change the training subjects as soon as we go back!" ”
"When the teacher said this, I was a little frightened!" Liu Guangzhong replied: "We may all have become the target of the devil's key attack, and we are still in the dark!" It's time to practice defense! If this aircraft carrier has any advantages and shortcomings in our hands, then we will become sinners! ”
Zhang Chi nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, what I just said is just an excuse for Zhang Chi.
The reason why Zhang Chi really let Liu and Zhang practice defense was because he knew that the battle in the Mariana Islands was mainly a naval battle...... This point is completely contrary to the judgment of the US military.
In other words, instead of shrinking from the flickering of the Japanese Combined Fleet, the Japanese Combined Fleet was still in full swing...... The Japanese even wanted to have a long-awaited "decisive battle" with the American fleet in the waters near the Marianas.
Of course, the final result of this "decisive battle" ended in the complete defeat of Japan, and even this battle was called "Mariana Turkey Hunting" by American GIs, which means that the battle was as relaxed and enjoyable as hunting.
However, in fact, in the early stage of the campaign, the US army suffered a lot of losses due to insufficient preparation, insufficient intelligence, and miscalculation of the Japanese army.
Zhang Chi's explanation to Liu and Zhang was actually to let the Chinese Navy and Air Force take precautions and prepare in advance.
