In fact, Zhang Chi did not guess wrong, and at the same time, Halsey also clearly told Jack the purpose of this training. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The reason for this is the case...... It was because Jack couldn't get over the face, and he was unwilling to let the U.S. Fourth Division be trained by Chinese troops, although he knew in his heart that these Chinese might indeed know the Japanese better than the American soldiers as Halsey said, and they were more familiar with Japanese tactics and had a good way to deal with them.

But......

"God! They are Chinese! Jack himself said to himself: "Before they came here, they didn't even know what an aircraft carrier was, they didn't know the Sherman tank, how could I let these barbarians train the 4th Marine Division?!" No...... Never! ”

In fact, Jack thinks this way not only because of his personal face, but also because a considerable part of the American GIs in the Fourth Division also have the same mentality as Jack...... Because of their stereotypical understanding of China as a country and its military, American GIs maintain a fairly high sense of superiority over the Chinese military in their hearts, and this sense of superiority makes it very difficult for the US military to pull down their muscles and accept training from Chinese troops. Even Jack felt that if he was trained by the Chinese troops, it might cause dissatisfaction among his subordinates, affect the morale of the troops, and even cause chaos.

This is by no means alarmist, and American GIs are not as obedient as Chinese soldiers, just as the Marauder forces in Burma were dissatisfied with Stilwell's command and planned to assassinate him.

So Jack planned to "deceive the superiors and hide the subordinates", that is, deal with Halsey casually, but pretend not to know about Zhang Chi's side...... Since it is a joint training, it is a joint training, and this is also a joint training with the US military as the mainstay.

As for whether we can learn the methods of the Chinese army against the Japanese...... Although this is important because it directly affects the reputation and even casualties of the 4th Marine Division, Jack thinks that it is entirely possible to learn from the Chinese troops in the process of joint training, and it is a big deal that he will have people go to the Chinese troops to get something useful, so that they can also explain to Halsey.

What Jack didn't know was where the war would be as simple as he imagined, and where the Japanese would be able to deal with it by just listening to the Chinese troops, or explaining how to deal with it on paper.

"What's the problem? Captain?! Seeing that Zhang Chi didn't speak, Jack asked again.

"With all due respect, General!" Zhang Chi replied: "I think the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Marine Divisions have all been trained in these aspects......

Jack nodded.

Among them, only the 1st Marine Division was unprepared and was rushed to the battlefield before the training was completed, and the 2nd Marine Division and the 3rd Marine Division went to the battlefield after completing their training.

"But their performance on the battlefield ......" Zhang Chi said and raised the training plan in his hand: "If we continue to train like this, I believe that the performance of the Fourth Marine Division on the battlefield will not be better than them in the future, and the general can look at their combat examples......

"Of course I did, Colonel!" Jack interrupted Zhang Chi's words and said, "And I also know what is wrong with them, so I have the opposite opinion of you, because I will correct these mistakes, so of course the fourth division will perform better than them, because we have learned from their failures, haven't we?" ”

"Okay then!" Seeing that he couldn't convince Jack, Zhang Chi had no choice but to reply: "Just do as you say!" ”

Zhang Chi's idea is...... Even if there are any losses in the future, it will be the business of the 4th Marine Division, and it has nothing to do with the Chinese army.

As the saying goes, if you don't speculate for more than half a sentence, Zhang Chi didn't stay in the division headquarters for long, and he returned to the camp after dealing with it casually.

The first thing Zhang Chi did after returning to the camp was to distribute the training plan to officers at all levels...... The officers were dumbfounded.

"Master!" The fellow villagers took the plan and looked at it again and again, and asked, "Why do you still practice these?" ”

"That's it!" Wu Yuhang was also a little inexplicable: "Let's lay down so many islands, such as the Tarawa and the Kwajalein that we just laid...... Which time is it because of air-ground coordination, infantry and artillery coordination, or something?! As soon as the fighter and artillery exploded, there was water vapor and smoke everywhere, and they couldn't be seen. ”

"Yes, Master!" Zhang Junhua is an air force force, and he once personally flew a fighter plane to bomb and observe the attack on Wojie Atoll, so he has a lot to say on this point.

Zhang Junhua said: "Are those Yankees unaware of the situation? Those islands are only as big as a slap in the face, and the smoke is shrouded in the air, and they don't know where to throw the bomb from the air. ”

"Let you practice, what so much nonsense!" Zhang Chi said impatiently: "The Yankees want to practice like this, you just accompany them to play!" At that time, it is their business how they want to fight, we can fight how we want, and we will worry less about other people's affairs, understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Yes!"

……

The officers answered and said no more.

Because the 4th Marine Division was worried about the lack of training time...... I don't know when the next battle will start, and the next round of attack will definitely be for the Fourth Division, so Jack wants to hurry up and train, so the joint training starts the next day.

Not to mention...... This joint training may seem to be of little use for the current operation, but it is still very useful for the Chinese troops to fight crookedly.

This is not to say that infantry-tank coordination and infantry artillery coordination or air-ground coordination have been trained and applied to the battlefield by the Chinese Expeditionary Force as early as the Burma War, so their proficiency is far beyond that of the 4th Marine Division, which has only been trained for a few months.

However, there is one of the shortcomings of the Chinese army, and that is the coordination of land and sea...... The sea and land coordination here also includes the fighters on the aircraft carrier, so the essence should be the "sea, land and air" tri-service coordination, but the US military classifies the fighters on the aircraft carrier as the navy, so this subject is also the sea and land coordination.

In the past, the Chinese army basically did not have a navy, and even if it had a navy and participated in the war, it was subordinate to the US military and fought under the command of the US military, and there was never an independent sea and land coordinated operation.

Now that there is a ready-made teacher like the US Marine Corps, it is just to make up for this shortcoming.

On the U.S. side, because they can't compare with the Chinese troops in other aspects, they are feeling depressed and depressed, and suddenly find that one item is stronger than the Chinese troops, and that guy's enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high, and soon all other subjects are compressed, so he practices this sea and land coordination...... The Yankees are enjoying that sense of superiority.

And the Chinese soldiers...... They know very well in their hearts that every little bit of their own shortcomings should be humbly studied, because it is very likely that they will save their lives on the battlefield in the future.
