There is no need to worry about these things, after all, this is just a clean-up operation, there are not many Japanese troops on the islands, and there is not even a single Japanese on some islands, so the American GIs have the right to go to the islands to play.

In fact, what is more important is that the 4th Marine Division has been trained by Chinese troops, and there are also Chinese advisers and newly equipped shotguns, so the process of purging has been very smooth...... The 185th Regiment advanced quickly and suffered very few casualties, and in a few days of operation it had killed more than 200 Japanese soldiers while its own casualties were only a negligible five.

This made the 3rd Marine Division feel strange, and its commander Willett couldn't help but be frustrated when he heard the offensive progress of the 4th Marine Division: "What is wrong?" Could it be that the Third Marine Division is inherently inferior to others? ”

"Why did the general say that?" The deputy division commander couldn't help but ask strangely when he heard this.

"Look at our casualties, look at their ......" Willett said, holding two telegrams: "Our casualties are six times that of the 4th Marine Division, and we have suffered more than 30 casualties in these days, while the 4th Marine Division has only suffered five casualties. What's even more unacceptable is ...... The islands they captured killed more Japanese soldiers than us, how did they do it? ”

"General!" The deputy division commander reminded: "Have you forgotten that the Fourth Marine Division has 'joint training' with the Chinese!" ”

Willett couldn't help but be stunned, he really forgot about it...... He didn't have much peace of mind about this in the first place, but later he was too busy with the war in the Marshall Islands, so he had already put this matter out of the clouds. At this time, I was reminded by the deputy division commander to remember.

"You mean...... Is it because they have 'joint training' with the Chinese? ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that!" The deputy division commander flipped through the documents and replied: "They are also armed with trench guns, and ...... There were also Chinese soldiers who acted as advisers. So, the 4th Marine Division is more like a Chinese unit, the difference is that it is the Americans who hold the guns! ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Villit couldn't help but suddenly realize.

After a pause, Velite said, "Wait, are they armed with trench guns?" Does it work? ”

"Yes!" The deputy division commander replied: "It is very effective in close combat!" ”

"Then why don't we equip it?"

So Willett immediately asked Halsey to equip the 3rd Marine Division with trench guns.

Even Villitt asked for a team of Chinese advisers for the 3rd Marine Division.

But Halsey advised: "General Willit, it should be said that this is not difficult, because it does not require many Chinese soldiers, and if I ask for it, I think Colonel Zhang will gladly match you with Chinese advisers." But I don't think it's appropriate, because the 4th Marine Division has Chinese soldiers as advisers, because they have conducted 'joint training' with Chinese troops, and this 'joint training' is, to put it bluntly, to be trained by Chinese troops, and they already know how to cooperate in the process of this training. But you ...... Are you sure that you can cooperate with the Chinese forces? I don't think this will only not increase the combat effectiveness of the 3rd Marine Division, but will also cause chaos! ”

Villit, who had also been in the war, knew that Halsey was right, so he had no choice but to do it.

After hanging up the phone, Halsey couldn't help but sigh, he couldn't believe that the Chinese troops, who were once thought by the Americans would not fight, had now become so popular.

What Zhang Chi needs to care about is to tap Beck when making a plan...... Perhaps this was Baker's intention, and Baker always discussed with Zhang Chi before the attack with aerial photos of the islands, which were to be attacked by the 185th Regiment the next day, and some of them did not need to be cleared at all...... The reason why it is said that it is not necessary to clear it is because some islands have no fresh water or even a small amount of vegetation, and if there are Japanese troops on this island, it will only take about a week to starve to death and die of thirst without supplies.

But even if it is such an island, Baker still seriously discussed with Zhang Chi which direction to attack if he wanted to attack, where to choose to camp after landing, how to carry out the search, and so on.

In fact, Zhang Chi knew that Baker's intention was not really to clean up these uninhabited islands that had no value for purging, he did this to learn something from Zhang Chi.

For example, when discussing a small island called Rolle, Baker strongly advocated an attack from the north.

"Tell me why!" Zhang Chi said.

"The vegetation in the north is sparse and the view is wide!" Baker replied without thinking about it: "At the same time, such terrain is not suitable for the Japanese to hide, which is very suitable for us to fight." The opposite is true in the south! ”

Zhang Chi nodded: "According to common sense, this is indeed the case!" ”

"As usual?" Baker asked, "What about the uncommon sense?" ”

"It doesn't follow ......common sense," Zhang Chi replied, "That is, the Japanese also think like you, they think that you will definitely land from the north, so they set a trap in the north!" At the same time, the Japanese also know that before you land, you will always use artillery to clear mines or clear obstacles, and the sandy ground in the north will kick up a large area of dust when it is bombarded, which is the best cover for the Japanese. And then...... Under the cover of dust, it is possible that the Japanese will be able to kill your ranks in one fell swoop before you have even landed on your feet! ”

Hearing this, Baker couldn't help but be stunned, if it was really as Zhang Chi said, then the enemy and us might fall into a melee near the beach, although the final winner may still be the US military, but the US military will definitely pay a lot of price.

So Baker changed his mind and landed from the south.

As a result, as Zhang Chi said, more than 100 Japanese troops were ready to die with the American troops in the tunnels in the north...... Many of them did not even carry rifles, but strapped explosive packs or cluster grenades to their bodies, intending to rush to the ground of the American army and die with the American ghosts.

But this wish of the devils could not be realized, because the American troops unexpectedly landed from the south and formed a defensive line smoothly.

The desperate devil had no choice but to rush towards the US defense line in a desperate manner, and the result, of course, was that the US army was beaten into a sieve by a rain of bullets and even blown up into the sky.

As a result, Baker also admired Zhang Chi so much, and he asked Zhang Chi in surprise: "How can you guess the deployment of the Japanese, God, it is exactly the same as you said!" ”

Zhang Chi's reply was, "Remember the first piece of advice I gave you? You have to be ahead of your opponents! ”

Baker nodded with his mouth half-open, which was what Zhang Chi said when he put a gun to his head, and he didn't listen to it at all because of his anger. (To be continued.) )
