It should be said that this plan of Kuribayashi Tadamichi is indeed very good. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info no matter what it is, in short, it is a clever use of the transition between night and day to achieve the purpose of suppressing the enemy's equipment and giving full play to the advantages of its own equipment as much as possible...... In the dark, the enemy's fighters are useless, and when they are suppressed, it will be dawn, and their own fighters can show their strengths as if they were in a no-man's land.

Of course, Kuribayashi Tadamichi and Shiina Taro couldn't calculate that they had actually fallen into a trap carefully set by Zhang Chi.

At this time, Zhang Chi was up and down in his heart, but he didn't know whether the Japanese army was fooled or not...... The battlefield is sometimes like this, because there is not enough information to know the future battlefield situation, so it requires the commander to have enough patience.

"Master!" At this moment, Wu Yuhang reported to Zhang Chi by phone: "The devil fired a few shots at our airport...... It's like a test launch! ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Zhang Chi's heart couldn't help but be happy.

If it is a test shot, then at least it means that the devil is preparing for the attack.

Half an hour later, Wu Yuhang reported excitedly: "Division, the devil sent a transport plane to deliver supplies to the 109th Division!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chi's hanging heart was completely relaxed...... The devil is going into the trap, but the devil is really bold, and he dares to send supplies to Iwo Jima during the day when the Chinese army controls the airfield and still does it in the daytime.

What Zhang Chi didn't know was that Kuribayashi Tadadao's work was also carefully considered.

The problem, of course, is that the 109th Division is short of ammunition, especially if it is to launch a counteroffensive or even block Airfield No. 1, which will require enough shells.

However, Shiina Taro was opposed on this point, which was the only point of disagreement between Shiina Tataro and Kuribayashi Tadamichi, and even Shiina Tataro was a little unhappy about this, he suspected that Kuribayashi Tadamichi was forcibly replenishing the 109th Division despite the danger of his flying division...... Because Shiina thought that this was extremely dangerous, especially since the enemy also had "Hellcat" fighters, Kuribayashi Tadamichi made a decision that was selfish and did not consider the interests of the navy.

But after Kuribayashi Tadamichi explained, Shiina Taro quickly agreed to Kuribayashi's supply plan.

"Shiina-kun!" Kuribayashi said: "I think you have a better understanding of the mode of operation of the Chinese army and the American army...... They set up radars on islands and warships, so they can detect our fighters and react in advance through the radar at great distances. But...... Do they still have radar now? ”

As soon as Tadamichi Kuribayashi said this, Taro Shiina understood.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General is right!" Shiina Taro quickly became excited: "It is impossible for the Chinese army to move the radar to the island in such a short time, and at the same time their warships have withdrawn from the battlefield. That is to say...... They had no idea when our fighter planes would fly over Iwo Jima, so they couldn't intercept them! ”

"Yes!" Kuribayashi replied: "Even we can cooperate with the actions of the flight division, such as temporarily blocking the No. 1 airfield with artillery fire, or firing smoke bombs so that they cannot detect our flying units in time......

"Then ......" then Shiina Taro asked rhetorically, "why don't we bomb Airport No. 1?" ”

"If the flying unit in Shiina-kun's hands has this ability, of course I don't object!"

Shiina Taro couldn't help but stop talking for a while.

Trained as a pilot, he quickly understood what Tadamichi Kuribayashi meant...... The No. 1 airfield is next to the 386 Heights, and there will be a burst of smoke and dust from artillery shells, and it is generally difficult to see the targets below and carry out bombing, especially at this time, most of the Japanese pilots are rookies who have no combat experience and can only fly suicide fighters into enemy ships. And if there were no shells and smoke, the terrifying "Hellcat" fighter would have flown into the air again and beat the Japanese fighter as a toy.

At this time, Shiina Taro couldn't help but admire Kuribayashi Tadamichi, and secretly said that this army's dirt bun seems to know quite a lot.

The resupply plan went smoothly, and it was true that the Chinese army did not have time to react because it had no radar and the sound of the Japanese transport planes was muffled by smoke and artillery, as Kuribayashi had estimated.

In fact, the Sino-US coalition still has time to react, because the Japanese army dispatched a Type 100 transport plane, and the maximum speed of this transport plane is only 470 kilometers per hour, while the maximum speed of the US "Hellcat" fighter reaches 600 kilometers per hour.

But Zhang Chi didn't think it was necessary.

On the one hand, the reason is that at this time, the No. 1 airfield was still under the blockade of Japanese artillery, and taking off was a rather dangerous action.

On the other hand, the Japanese transport planes had already achieved their goal by the time they reached the skies over Iwo Jima and dropped supplies, and sending planes to catch up and kill those transport planes would not change anything.

What's more, to some extent, Zhang Chi would rather the Japanese army get more supplies, because then they are more likely to launch a large-scale counteroffensive.

Then the battlefield soon fell silent.

Not only the waters of the Chinese fleet where Zhang Chi is located, but even Iwo Jima fell silent.

Both sides have their own reasons for this.

The Japanese wanted to store more ammunition in case they launched an attack.

And the Chinese army...... In fact, the Chinese army is not worried about the lack of ammunition, because they know very well that their fleet has not suffered much damage, the fleet will soon come back and provide them with supplies, and the American transport fleet will continue to send supplies.

However, they had to make a show to convince the Japanese that they were also saving ammunition.

As a result, as if we had agreed to an armistice, neither guns nor artillery were fired, and there was only the "whoosh" sound of the waves crashing against the reef and the "whirring" of the sea breeze on Iwo Jima.

Then, night soon fell.

At this time, both the enemy and the enemy gradually became active...... The Japanese hoped to take advantage of the darkness to spread their troops as much as possible, and it was best to be able to lurk in front of the enemy's position without the enemy detecting it, so that they could rush into the enemy's position as quickly as possible when the battle was launched.

At the same time, in order to be able to smoothly attack the enemy's defense line and cause confusion among the enemy, the Japanese army actively launched an infiltration war.

The Chinese army, on the other hand, "came to block the water and flooded the soil", and even carried out counter-infiltration against the Japanese army as always.

All of this is a sign that a big battle is about to begin.
