Chapter 410: Sneak Attack

Everybody knows what that means. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just like the battle on Guadalcanal, the U.S. Navy was forced out of the waters of Kuah Island by the Japanese Navy, and the result was that the supply of the Sino-US coalition forces that had landed on Kuah Island was cut off and there was no way to escape.

At this time, the situation faced by the Chinese army is even more severe than that of Kuah...... The Chinese army landed on the island with only one regiment of more than 3,000 people, while the Japanese army had more than 20,000 people. Once the Chinese Navy is forced back by the Japanese fleet, then this regiment of the Chinese army will face the 20,000 wolf-like Japanese troops alone without the fire assistance of naval guns and fighters, and even be bombed from behind by Japanese naval guns and fighters, which is simply fatal to the second regiment.

"Or ...... Let's withdraw! The fellow villager said: "This situation is too dangerous now, take a breath of relief and fight again!" ”

"Why do you talk like that?!" The third regiment commander objected: "If you can't fight, you will withdraw the army...... So what about the next time? ”

"That's it...... Just go back like this, won't the Yankees show us flat? ”

"It's not a face-to-face problem!" The fellow townsman objected: "This is related to the life and death of the second regiment, and it is impossible to attack from any direction at present, and the devil's fleet is coming again......"

"Our second regiment can hold on!" Wu Yuhang replied sullenly: "I don't agree to withdraw the troops!" ”

So the audience fought over you and me.

In fact, the suggestions of fellow villagers are still rational. Because judging from the current situation in the Pacific theater, the Japanese army is already at the end of its strength, and the situation of the Japanese army will get worse and worse after a while, at least they may not be able to divide a fleet to reinforce Iwo Jima, so there is really no need to rush for a while.

But here's the problem......

Zhang Chi sighed and said: "I just got news from China that the Japanese army has assembled five divisions and three brigades, and the total strength of another flying division has reached 150,000 people, and it has moved south along the Pinghan Railway, and at this time it has captured Xinzheng, Weishi, Bishui, and Mixian...... And this is only the first wave of the Japanese offensive, if left unchecked, the Japanese army will divide China from the south to the north in two, which will be very unfavorable to the domestic war situation. And we, although only a force of only a few tens of men, have the potential to threaten the Japanese mainland and thus disrupt the entire plan of the Japanese army. So...... Do you still think we should retreat?! ”

"But the master!" Fellow villagers said in embarrassment: "There is a saying, 'stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood', the current situation is ......"

"We still have a chance!" Zhang Chi raised his hand to interrupt the words of his fellow villagers and said: "Now all the problems come down to one point, that is, whether the Yankees' 'Hellcat' fighter can be stationed. As we all know, this fighter can easily suppress the Japanese army's zero battle and seize air supremacy, after seizing air supremacy, our bombers can seize sea supremacy, so even if the Japanese fleet is stronger than ours, we are fully capable of defeating it! ”

"But didn't you say ......" Staff Officer Liang said hesitantly: "Isn't the US 'Hellcat' fighter temporarily unable to station in the 'Pinghai'?" ”

"It's true that you can't enter the 'Pinghai'!" Zhang Chi pointed to the No. 1 airfield on Iwo Jima and said, "But...... You can be stationed at the airport! ”

Zhang Chi's words immediately caused an uproar among the officers.

"Master!" Staff Officer Liang said: "The airfield is controlled by Japanese anti-aircraft guns from two directions, how can fighters be stationed? ”

"Then take the high ground on both wings of the airport!" Zhang Chi replied without thinking about it.

Zhang Chi's words surprised the officers, and their eyes widened and they were speechless.

After a long time, the townsman said: "The meaning of the teacher's seat is ...... Take Oriba Mountain and 382 Highlands in three days? This...... Is it possible? ”

You must know that these highlands are not ordinary highlands, but highlands that have been almost hollowed out by devils and are full of tunnels, which must be taken in three days...... It was indeed unimaginable to the officers.

After a pause, Zhang Chi said, "We can sneak attack!" ”

"Sneak attack?" Hearing this, the officers couldn't help but look at each other.

You must know that Iwo Jima is the territory of the devils, and the devils are still in the high places, and the expeditionary force is in the low places, so they can be discovered by the devils if they move casually...... What kind of sneak attack method is this?!

"There are two sides to the sneak attack!" Zhang Chi said: "The first aspect...... It's a night fight! ”

"Night Fight?!" The officers couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts.

Night fighting is what the Japanese army is good at, but now Zhang Chi has to fight at night......

Some officers even wondered if the division had made a desperate gamble in order to save China's situation.

But Zhang Chi knew what he was doing, he looked at the expressions on the faces of the officers with satisfaction, and said: "When it comes to night battles, you all react like this, you can imagine...... The devils didn't think that we would take the initiative to attack at night! ”

The officers couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and then Staff Officer Liang nodded and said, "What the division said is right, this is called a surprise...... The devils have always thought that the night is their world, only they attack us, who would have thought that now we are attacking them?! ”

"And ......," Zhang Chi continued: "Judging from the battle between the Second Regiment and the devils, our night combat ability is actually no worse than that of the devils...... All we lack is confidence, the confidence to dare to fight devils at night! ”

The officers couldn't help nodding their heads, and the officers' experience was more profound than Zhang Chi's, because the expeditionary force was equipped with American-style equipment...... It is the equipment of the Chinese army that is weaker than the Japanese army, and in this case, if the Chinese army wants to win the Japanese army, it often has to seek opportunities to fight night battles and close combat with the Japanese army...... Of course, due to quality and stabbing reasons, the Chinese army often did not please in night battles and hand-to-hand combat, but it was always better than being bombarded by Japanese planes, artillery, and tanks from a distance.

In other words, in the past, many Chinese troops dared to face the Japanese army and fight the enemy head-on. However, since the equipping of American-style equipment...... The Chinese army is getting smaller and smaller, and at the same time, it is becoming more and more afraid of night battles and close combat with the Japanese army.

There are objective and subjective reasons for this.

The objective reason is that the American tactics advocated by the American instructors and the improvement of equipment have led to the reversal of the equipment of the enemy and the enemy...... The expeditionary force was equipped to surpass the Japanese army in all aspects, and it was possible to suppress and defeat the Japanese army at a long distance, and to achieve victory at a very small cost of casualties, of course, there was no need for close combat.

The subjective reason is that the Chinese Expeditionary Force is inevitably contaminated with some habits of the US military, which can also be said to be a side effect of equipping American-style equipment! (To be continued.) )
