"What? The Chinese army actually has tanks that can breathe fire? Koga Feng couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the news. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Yes!" Staff Officer Ito replied: "The news from Nakatani-kun that the Chinese are using this tank to breathe fire at the mouth of the tunnel, and we can't do anything about it, we can only wait for the air to be drained and suffocated!" The tunnels we laid in the area south of the central port have been almost cleared by the Chinese! ”

Hearing this, Koga Feng couldn't help but sit on the chair, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Your Excellency, General!" Staff Officer Ito stepped forward and asked, "Look...... Are we sending an air brigade to support! Just blow up those Spitfire tanks......"

Koga Mine shook his head and replied with only two words: "It's over!" ”

"Your Excellency, General!" Staff Officer Ito was still a little unwilling: "There is still half of Kwajalein Island in our hands, and we also have an aviation group, so far our aviation group has been doing a good job, I believe they will definitely be able to ......"

"Ito-kun!" Koga Feng interrupted Staff Officer Ito's words and said: "Our army's aviation brigade, the failure of the first sneak attack proves that the Chinese army is prepared, they have been prepared before, will we still let the sneak attack succeed now?" ”

Hearing this, Staff Officer Ito couldn't help but be silent.

"Sneak Attack...... It's for an unprepared enemy that's called a sneak attack! Koga Mineichi continued: "If the enemy is prepared, then it is not called a sneak attack, but a trap!" ”

There was silence in the command headquarters for a while, and after a long time, Staff Officer Ito asked: "Your Excellency General, are we ...... Just give up? ”

Koga Mine shook his head and replied, "We don't have a choice...... The Chinese have Spitfire tanks, and with Kwajalein Island, it is impossible to hold it. If Kwajalein Island cannot be defended, it means that Plan 'Z' cannot be carried out, which means that the defense of the Marshall Islands will completely collapse! ”

"So......" Ito asked with beads of sweat on his forehead, "What are we going to do now?!" ”

"Now......" Koga Mine gritted his teeth and said, "Take advantage of the fact that we still have the ability to fight back, and launch another attack on the enemy!" ”

"Attack?!" Ito's eyes widened, it could almost be said that the jade was shattered.

So at two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, when the Chinese army was still searching and attacking the Japanese trenches inch by inch, a roar suddenly broke out in the silent and oppressive air, and then pieces of Japanese troops came out of the trenches and charged the Chinese army defense line with bayonets......

The charge came so suddenly that the Chinese army was somewhat caught off guard, because no one could have imagined that the Japanese army, which was already absolutely weak, would launch a counteroffensive at this time, and it was still daylight.

However, this poses little threat to the Chinese army...... The Chinese army had "Sherman" tanks in their hands, and even if 20 "Shermans" were converted into Spitfire tanks, there were still more than 30 tanks defending the front line, and the shells and bullets fired by these tanks were enough to crush all the Japanese troops who rushed forward, not to mention the infantry and artillery in the gap between the tanks.

A massacre unfolded in front of the line, with bullets and shells pouring down on the line, knocking the Japanese troops to the ground or blasting them into the air. But the Japanese army didn't know where to get the courage, wave after wave, rushing forward to die.

Later, Zhang Chi learned that they had been "mobilized", or it could also be said to be "brainwashed" and "threatened" before doing this work.

For example, "American ghost animals and Chinese will not give us a way to live, rather than suffer humiliation and then die, it is better to fight with them!" "If any of you dare not rush forward, or become a prisoner, then we will not only execute you, but we will also inform your family of the news and spread the word, so that your family will live in disgrace!" ”……

As soon as the Japanese army thought about it, there was no way to survive anyway, so why not have a good time and bring honor to their families? So one by one, with the heart of death, they rushed up with bayonets!

From this point of view, Japanese officers still have a good way of encouraging soldiers, but this is also related to the "bushido spirit" in Japanese culture, if you ask American officers to say the same thing to American soldiers and hope that American soldiers will launch a suicidal attack, the result will either be to make the soldiers think that they are mentally ill, or let the soldiers find an excuse to kill them!

Halsey was still very concerned about the fighting on Kwajalein, and he immediately became nervous when he heard the news of the Japanese attack.

His nervousness came from two sides, on the one hand, he feared that the Japanese would break through the lines of defense of the Chinese troops...... Although he knew that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese troops was extraordinary, after all, the Chinese troops had only one regiment, and the Japanese troops were twice as strong as the Chinese troops, what if the Japanese broke through the defense line and fought together? The US troops stationed at the "wolf's horn" can almost be described as "vulnerable".

On the other hand, Halsey feared that the Japanese fleet would appear again...... Because this attack by the Japanese looks very much like a general attack, since it is a general attack, it is necessary for fighters to provide cover from the air.

So Halsey immediately issued a series of orders to the navy.

The first order was for the destroyer's radar to search the sky above in all directions to see if there was an invasion of enemy aircraft.

The second order was to send two formations of 24 Hellcat fighters to the direction of Kwajalein, whose task was to stop the Japanese group of aircraft that could appear on Kwajalein.

The third order was to send two formations of bombers to bomb the Japanese in order to relieve the pressure on the Chinese troops' defense.

In fact, this was completely unnecessary, not only because the firepower of the Chinese army could fully cope with it, but also because the bombers could not find a target because of the smoke and dust below, they could only bomb indiscriminately into the depths of the Japanese defense area.

So it didn't take long for Kwajalein to be lively, with artillery, machine guns, and Japanese flesh and blood fighting hotly below, fighter jets and bombers whistling and flying by, and several pilots of "Hellcat" fighters swooped down from time to time to shoot a bullet at the Japanese army below because they couldn't find the target.

However, what Halsey didn't expect was that this was exactly what Koga Mine hoped for...... Koga Mineichi was playing the trick of "striking the east and attacking the west", and he asked Nakatani Kawakami to organize a counteroffensive so that the Sino-American coalition forces would misunderstand that the Japanese army was going to organize a counteroffensive in this direction.

But in fact, Koga Mineichi had already set his sights on the "Pinghai" approaching Kwajalein Island!
