But things weren't as bad as Zhang Chi thought. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The American colonel then walked up to Zhang Chi and said, "Colonel, if you need to, I can convince my subordinates to fight with you!" ”

"And me!"

"And me!"

……

"If we can, we hope to prove with a fight that we're not waste!" The American colonel said: "Or, rather, to redeem our honor with a battle!" I hope you can give us a chance! ”

This surprised Zhang Chi, who did not think that the officers of the 3rd Marine Division were willing to obey his orders, but this was not the case.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi asked the US colonel: "Colonel, can I know your name?" ”

"Garcia!" The American colonel replied.

"Colonel Garcia!" Zhang Chi replied: "I admire you, your performance at this time has saved your honor. But IMHO, we're not very fit to go to war together. ”

"Why?" The American colonel was a little puzzled, paused, and said: "Colonel, don't worry, we will obey your command!" ”

"No, it's not just the problem!" Zhang Chi replied: "We don't understand each other's languages, we haven't coordinated operations, and what's worse is that the Chinese troops look very similar to the Japanese, which is likely to cause disaster on the battlefield because of confusion in identification!" ”

"You're right!" Colonel Garcia couldn't help but nod.

"But...... If it is artillery, there are no problems in these aspects! Zhang Chi said: "If you can, you can organize artillery and provide us with firepower when we need it." In addition, the defense of the 'wolf's horn' also needs your organization, what do you think? ”

"Of course!" Garcia nodded happily: "This is what we should have done!" ”

"And ......," Zhang Chi added, "As I said before, build fortifications for yourself and your supplies, and the Japanese fighters are likely to bomb the 'wolf's horns'!" ”

"No problem!" Garcia shook his hand warmly.

The cooperation with the U.S. military side was much smoother than expected, although the organization of the U.S. military was not done by Villett as Zhang Chi originally thought...... But whatever, "whether it's a white cat or a black cat, as long as you can catch mice, you're a good cat."

Moreover, Zhang Chi has reason to believe that the 3rd Marine Division, which was spontaneously organized and mobilized by Colonel Garcia and other US officers, is very likely to better accomplish its mission, which can at least allow Zhang Chi to save his worries...... Before coming to the "Wolf Horn", Zhang Chi had been worried that the Chinese troops were fighting in front, but the "Wolf Horn" in the rear was attacked by the Japanese army.

The next thing is to think about how to clean up those Japanese.

At the subsequent operational meeting, Zhang Chi's first sentence was: "The attack time is preliminarily set after dawn, and the specific time is waiting for orders, and the artillery fire will be prepared for five minutes!" ”

Hearing this, Wu Yuhang couldn't help but look at each other with the officers...... The exact time of the attack is to be determined, which is really a strange battle plan.

"Master, this ......" Wu Yuhang said with some embarrassment: "There must be a time for the brothers to prepare!" ”

"Let the brothers be ready to go at any time, and when you want!" Zhang Chi replied impatiently.

"Yes!" Wu Yuhang had no choice but to answer, but although his mouth responded to his heart, there was a burst of doubt.

In fact, Zhang Chi is not pretending to be mysterious, but the "wolf horn" personnel at this time are too complicated, and in the dark there are both the US army and the expeditionary force, and it is difficult to ensure that a few Japanese soldiers take advantage of the chaos to get in to reconnoiter and intelligence, and Zhang Chi does not want the battle plan to be known by the Japanese army early on.

What Wu Yuhang and the others didn't know was that Zhang Chi was waiting for a sneak attack by Japanese fighters......

After fighting with the Japanese for so long, Zhang Chi, as a commander, clearly knew one thing, that is, the Japanese army's communication equipment was very weak...... This is not obvious in China, because the communication equipment in China is even weaker than that of the Japanese army.

As a result, the Japanese army, navy, and air forces often did not coordinate communications quickly enough. Zhang Chi's battle plan was formulated in response to this weakness of the Japanese army.

As everyone knows, if the Japanese fighters want to launch a sneak attack on the "Wolf Horn," then the target should first be the "Sherman" tank...... which can be said to be a sharp weapon for the Chinese troops to win more with less, and even to push the Japanese army flat.

But the problem is that it is difficult for tanks to survive in the Japanese air raids, after all, the target is large and slow, once the Japanese bombers fly over the "Wolf Horn", the "Sherman" tank will be a good target for the Japanese fighters.

This was obviously also very important to the Japanese army, because it was almost a matter of survival on Kwajalein.

As for the Chinese army, once the "Sherman" tank was lost, Zhang Chi was really not sure that he could take twice as much Kwajalein Island as the Japanese army with the strength of one regiment...... Even if the Chinese Expeditionary Force was able to win because the quality was stronger than that of the 61st Garrison of the Japanese Army, it would have to pay heavy casualties in the end, which was not what Zhang Chi hoped to see.

Therefore, what Zhang Chi had to do was to keep the "Sherman" tank as much as possible under the possible bombing of the Japanese army.

So Zhang Chi made a plan......

First of all, Zhang Chi contacted the radar and aviation units of the US military and asked them to notify the Chinese troops when they discovered the Japanese fighters. This gave the Chinese troops about fifteen minutes to prepare...... The time can be estimated from the position of the Japanese aircraft group detected by the radar.

For these fifteen minutes, Zhang Chi did not hide the "Sherman" tank, but drove the "Sherman" tank into the enemy's position after five minutes of artillery preparation......

The five-minute artillery preparation was not to destroy the Japanese fortifications, but to stir up a large amount of dust and water vapor after a bombardment of artillery fire, as in the past, which would undoubtedly become the best cover for the tanks.

Coupled with the backwardness of the Japanese army's communication equipment, the Japanese Army could not inform the Japanese pilots of the location of the "Sherman" tank in time, so the tank was well hidden.

Just when Zhang Chi and the officers were discussing the details of the battle plan in the conference room, they heard a loud "boom" outside, and the officers couldn't help but be startled, and reflexively touched the gun on their waists.

Only Zhang Chi sat in his chair and did not move, because he could tell from the direction from which the sound came from that the explosion came from the sea.

That is, the submarines of the Japanese have already made their hands.

Sure enough, after a while, a staff officer ran in and reported: "Division! One of the Yankees' transport ships was sunk by a Japanese submarine! (To be continued.) )
