"Oh my God! It's him, it's really him......" Page couldn't believe what she was seeing, and it took her a moment to react, and then she sped off excitedly towards the landing vehicle.

It was Zhang Chi who got out of the landing vehicle.

In fact, this battle was quite unpleasant, because most of the time he had to stay on the "Pinghai", and could only look at the smoke in the direction of Tarawa from a distance, at most to look at the information from his fellow villagers, and nothing else could be done.

Several times Zhang Chi wanted to personally land on the island to command, but was stopped by Staff Officer Liang.

"Master!" Staff Officer Liang said, "You are now the division...... You have to care about your identity, too! ”

"What's wrong with the master?" Zhang Chi replied: "Can't the division seat personally go to the battlefield to command?" Are there still few of our troops who personally command on the battlefield?! ”

Zhang Chi is right, there are really many divisions in the expeditionary force who personally command on the battlefield, such as Dai Anlan, Sun Liren, Liao Yaoxiang, etc., and they are not seen on the battlefield and even on the front line.

"That'...... The score situation too! Staff Officer Liang replied, "I won't say how dangerous it is...... If there is a war in other places, if the situation is not good, there is still a place to withdraw, and if you go to a small island, a charge will come to an end, and there will be no place to withdraw. ”

Zhang Chi glared at Staff Officer Liang, and Staff Officer Liang hurriedly changed his words and said: "Danger is secondary, look at this small island......"

Staff Officer Liang pointed to Bito Island on the map and continued: "Where the butt is bigger, can't we solve it with one regiment?" And the head of the regiment is also a good news...... I said, Master, you also want to give the people below more opportunities to practice! ”

Staff Officer Liang's words are to the point.

If the fellow villagers can't control the battle situation, or that a group is in danger, then Zhang Chi Dengdao command is necessary, but now the fellow villagers are fighting well, then Zhang Chi Dengdao, as a division, has become completely redundant.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi sat back in his chair.

In fact, Zhang Chi also understands this truth, but maybe it is because the battles of the regiment in the past were commanded by himself, or because he is used to the battlefield, so he always feels a little uneasy.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi said, "Then let's do it!" Send a few reconnaissance planes to reconnoitre! ”

"Yes!" Staff Officer Liang answered and passed on the order.

It's not that Zhang Chi wants to know any information, in fact, the battle has reached a fever pitch at this time, and almost all the information he should know has been mastered. Although it is said that the tempering at this time is not yet actual combat, it will always be more "actual combat" than the complete absence of danger on the training ground.

But Zhang Chi was most concerned about the battle on Bito Island, so the information did not fall for a moment.

Looking at the intelligence Zhang Chi, I was slowly relieved, and the command of the fellow villagers had a bit of his own style, and he was not confined to orders and plans and could adapt to the situation...... What's more, several improvisations of the fellow villagers were later proven correct.

Zhang Chi still admires his fellow villagers for this point, because the reason why he does this is often because he has more historical knowledge and information that others don't know, and then makes decisions based on these knowledge and information, while his fellow villagers rely entirely on themselves.

finally waited for the news of the victory, and Zhang Chi couldn't wait to land on the island as soon as possible...... But to Zhang Chi's frustration, the Chinese army only has a few Higgins ships, and the Higgins ships are easy to run aground during the low tide during the day, so they must ask the US Navy for landing vehicles.

At this time, the landing vehicle is in short supply...... The US Marine Corps needed landing vehicles to land on other islands to search for the remnants of the enemy, and they also needed landing vehicles to transport the wounded to and from Beato Island, and they also had to transport supplies to the islands, so they could not be transferred for a while.

It wasn't until Halsey and MacArthur also wanted to go to the island to see it that they turned to the "Pinghai" and picked up Zhang Chi to go with them.

Halsey and MacArthur said they were talking about the island's defenses, but anyone else knew about it...... Bito Island still has to study defense matters?!

First of all, the U.S. navy had completely overpowered the Japanese in the Pacific theater at this time, and the Japanese army was simply unable to organize an effective attack on Tarawa. If the Japanese did this, it would be exactly what the American military wanted...... With more than 20 aircraft carriers and more than 1,000 fighters of various types, the Japanese Combined Fleet will destroy as many as they come.

Secondly, the Japanese fortifications on Beato Island are the best fortifications.

This has been proven by facts, and even such a strong advantage of the US army had to pay such a big price to take, so you can imagine how strong the Japanese army's fortifications were.

Therefore, what the US military has to do is actually repair the Japanese fortifications. And this is not difficult at all for the US military, which has modern machinery and equipment, and even the US military can build stronger fortifications in a short time.

But Zhang Chi later learned that this point was not suitable for the US military.

The reason is not that the Japanese army's fortifications are bad, nor that the American army cannot do it, but that the American soldiers cannot endure the hardship...... You must know that most of the fortifications built by the Japanese army are underground, and most of the more than 6,000 Japanese troops are hiding underground, and Tarawa is near the equator, so the underground tunnel is hot and humid, in the words of the American army, it is simply not a place for people to stay.

There are even American soldiers who are suspicious...... Bito Island does not need to be fought at all, it only takes a period of siege and the Japanese will suffocate in such fortifications!

Therefore, in fact, most of the ground fortifications built by the US military on Bito Island are even installed on Bito Island...... The United States just knows how to enjoy. Of course, this air conditioner is also limited to officers.

In fact, it is enough to build ground fortifications...... The Japanese army built underground fortifications to avoid the bombing of US warships and fighter planes, while the US military basically did not need to consider this when constructing fortifications. So this is also a case-by-case analysis.

As soon as Zhang Chi stepped off the landing vehicle, he saw a figure rushing over...... At first, Zhang Chi thought he was being attacked, and with a tight hand, he reached for the pistol pinned to his waist.

But then I heard a familiar female voice shouting, "It's you, God!" It's really you...... That's great! ”

"Paige?!" It took a long time for Zhang Chi to think of the owner of this voice.

Page let go of Zhang Chi at this time, looked at Zhang Chi with surprise and joy, and said, "Look, my hero, I haven't seen him for a few months, and now he is a colonel!" ”

Then she soon saw the two American officers next to Zhang Chi who were looking at her with a smile, and she couldn't help but be so surprised that her jaw almost dropped: "General Halsey, General MacArthur......"

Page looked at Zhang Chi suspiciously, she was shocked that Zhang Chi could stand shoulder to shoulder with two famous American generals, and she had a vague feeling that Zhang Chi would not be so simple as a colonel.
