In Rupertus's headquarters, Zhang Chi changed into a clean, dry American-style military uniform...... It's funny to say, after cooperating with the U.S. military for so long, Zhang Chi is still wearing an American-style military uniform for the first time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then, Rupertus was very understanding, and brought a cup of hot coffee and a plate of biscuits.

"Colonel, I heard that you haven't stopped all the way, I think you must be hungry!"

"Thank you!" Zhang Chi was a little surprised by this, because he had heard that Rupertus's temper was a little strange at the beginning, so he was mentally prepared early in the morning, but he didn't expect the truth to be unexpected.

In fact, it was not only Zhang Chi who was surprised, but even the staff officers and communication soldiers around him felt strange...... They had never seen the division commander so polite to anyone.

Rupertes knew why, and he didn't want the soldiers of the 1st Marine Division to continue to suffer casualties on Peleliu, which would remind him of his lost family...... And this unremarkable Chinese in front of him is likely to help him put an end to this.

Zhang Chi didn't say too many polite words, his eyes were fixed on the combat map on the table while he was eating food, and he asked, "So, what is the difficulty?" ”

Rupertus nodded secretly, this is the real soldier...... They have an extraordinary passion, or rather passion, for war, that makes them unwilling to waste any time on anything else.

"Here's the difficulty!" Rupertus pointed to Mount Ummerbrog on the map and said: "The environment of this mountain is very complex, full of natural coral holes, which can be an excellent hiding place for the Japanese army, and the Japanese have built this mountain range into a defensive line by blasting and constructing reinforced concrete bunkers. They even built tunnels in all directions in the mountains...... At one point we occupied a certain high ground on it, but it was always retaken by the enemy who crawled out of the tunnels at night! ”

"Can I use the airport?" Zhang Chi asked.

"Barely usable, but dangerous!" Ruperst replied: "The Japanese built artillery bunkers on the hill, and they had single- and double-barreled anti-aircraft guns, as well as several large-caliber shore defense guns, as well as 13.2mm machine guns and 20mm machine guns...... This allows them to effectively control the airport! ”

Zhang Chi nodded.

He knew what was going on with these weapons and equipment of the Japanese army...... It is obvious that the Japanese army completely abandoned air defense from the beginning, and moved the anti-aircraft firepower with small caliber, fast rate of fire and easy movement into the tunnel fortifications to suppress the American army, among which the 20mm machine gun is even the machine gun used on the Japanese fighters, that is, the Japanese army even removed the machine guns on the fighters and "wasted them".

"I need to see for myself!" Zhang Chi said.

"What?" Hearing this, Rupertus couldn't help but be stunned.

Looking at Rupertes' expression, Zhang Chi asked a little strangely: "General, haven't you been to the island to have a look?" ”

"Uh...... Yes, we didn't go up! Rupertus replied with some embarrassment.

A staff officer interjected, "Colonel, we can get all the information we want here!" I don't think it's necessary for us to go to the battlefield in person, because it's not safe there! ”

"Really?" Zhang Chi smiled and flipped through a large number of photos on the table: "Do you really think that you can fully understand the battlefield situation just by relying on these photos?" I'm sorry...... I don't think so! ”

So more than half an hour later, Zhang Chi and Rupertus boarded Peleliuu Island in an amphibious landing vehicle...... At this time, Zhang Chi even felt that what the staff officer said was right, because even at sea, a few shells exploded around from time to time to set off a wave. If a stray bullet kills Rupertus, it will be the greatest victory for the Japanese army...... You must know that Rupertex is a major general.

But on the other hand, this is war, isn't it?!

Before Zhang Chi and the others had gone far in the traffic trench, a US military officer wearing a steel helmet chased after him from behind, punched Zhang Chi in the shoulder and laughed: "God, it's really you!" ”

"Clifton!" Zhang Chi recognized that it was the commander of the 1st Marine Regiment who had fought side by side on Kuah Island.

"Follow me!" Clifton laughs and says, "This is not the place to catch up!" ”

Then Clifton did not forget to say coldly to Rupertus: "General, I'm sorry I can't salute you, because there are Japanese snipers everywhere!" ”

When he passed by Zhang Chi's side, Clifton gritted his teeth and lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I really want to salute him!" ”

Zhang Chi felt a little funny, but he couldn't laugh.

Because he knew that the reason why Clifton hated Rupertus so much must be because the Marine Regiment had too many casualties......

Sure enough, along the way, Zhang Chi saw the wounded of the American army everywhere, with broken hands and feet, blindfolded with bandages, and some of them had obviously become corpses, the air was filled with the smell of blood and burning, and the eyes of the soldiers were also lifeless, as if they didn't know where they were after taking drugs.

At this time, someone among the American soldiers suddenly recognized Zhang Chi...... After all, Zhang Chi had fought with them on Kuah Island, and a considerable number of American soldiers remembered Zhang Chi's appearance.

"Look, it's the Chinese!" A wounded American soldier looked at Zhang Chi and exclaimed: "That Chinese division commander who defeated the Japanese on Kuah Island!" ”

"God! It's really him! ”

"Colonel! Are you coming with Chinese troops to reinforce us? ”

"Great! We are saved! ”

"Thank God!"

……

Some U.S. soldiers even shed tears with mixed feelings.

Zhang Chi did not think that this was a sign of cowardice, on the contrary, Zhang Chi also felt that this group of American GIs was very brave...... They will behave this way, because the battlefield is beyond the scope of their bearings, if it were other US troops, they would have been picked and stopped a long time ago, and in extreme cases, they may turn their guns on commanders who do not allow them to retreat, such as the so-called "raiders" special forces.

But this was not the case with the 1st Marine Regiment, even though they knew there was a command problem...... Rupertus insisted that the 81st Infantry Division as a reserve not take their place, which caused them to continue to suffer tremendous pressure and casualties on the front line, but they remained at their posts.

"Don't worry!" Zhang Chi said to the American soldiers: "The Chinese troops will arrive soon, all you have to do is hold on for another one or two days!" ”

Suddenly there was a cheer on the battlefield.

This meeting made Rupertus a little embarrassed, because he, the major general, was still in front of his subordinates, but he was far less popular than Zhang Chi, the Chinese colonel.
