Chapter 226 Colonel
"Oh my God! It's him, it's him." Page couldn't believe what she saw was real. It took a while for her to react, and then ran towards the landing car excitedly.
It was Zhang Chi who got off the landing car.
In fact, Zhang Chi was very unhappy in this battle because most of the time he had to stay on the Pinghai and could only look at a cloud of smoke from the direction of Tarava from afar. At most, he could look at the information coming from his fellow villagers, and he could not do anything else.
On several occasions, Zhang Chi wanted to personally land on the island to command, but they were stopped by Staff Liang.
"Master's seat!" said Staff Liang: "You are a master's seat now and you have to care about your identity!"
"What's wrong with the division seat?" Zhang Chi replied: "Can't the division seat go to the battlefield to command in person? Are there few division seats in our army who go to the battlefield to command in person?!"
Zhang Chi is right. There are quite a few divisions in the Expeditionary Army who personally went to the battlefield to command, such as Dai Anlan, Sun Liren, Liao Yaoxiang, etc., and they have been seen appearing on the battlefield even on the front line.
"Then you score a point!" Chief Liang replied: "I won't talk about the level of danger in other places. If the situation is not good, there will be some places to retreat. If you go to a small island, you will be in the end with a charge, and there will be no place to retreat."
Zhang Chi glared at Staff Liang, who quickly changed his mind and said, "Danger is second, look at this island."
Staff Liang pointed to Bito Island on the map and continued, "Can our regiment solve the problem with the bigger place? Moreover, the leader of the regiment also reported the news frequently. I said that the teacher seats are there, so you should give the people below more opportunities to train!"
Commander Liang said this to the point.
If fellow villagers cannot control the situation of the war, or if a group of people is in danger, then Zhang Chi's command on the island is necessary, but now fellow villagers are fighting very well, so Zhang Chi's landing on the island as a teacher becomes completely unnecessary.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chi sat back on the chair.
Zhang Chi actually understands this principle, but maybe it is because the wars in the past were all commanded by himself, or because he was used to the battlefield, he always felt a little worried.
After thinking about it, Zhang Chi said, "Then it! Send a few reconnaissance planes to reconnaissance!"
"Yes!" Commander Liang responded and conveyed the order.
This is not because Zhang Chi wants to know any information. In fact, the battle has reached a heightened level at this time, and the information that should be known has almost mastered. This is because Zhang Chi wants the pilots on the Pinghai aircraft carrier to train more. Although the training at this time is not considered practical, it will always be more "actual" than there is no danger on the training ground.
But what Zhang Chi is most concerned about is the war on Bito Island, so the information has not been lost for a moment.
Looking at the information, Zhang Chi gradually felt relieved. The command of fellow villagers was a bit of his own style. It was more important that the fellow villagers were able to adapt to changes without sticking to orders and plans. The few adaptations of fellow villagers were proved to be correct afterwards.
Zhang Chi still admires his fellow villagers for this, because the reason he does this is often because he has mastered more historical knowledge and information that others don’t know, and then made a decision based on this knowledge and information backwards, while fellow villagers rely entirely on themselves.
After finally waiting for the news of victory, Zhang Chi couldn't wait to land on the island as soon as possible. But what made Zhang Chi helpless was that the Chinese team had only a few Higgins ships, and when the tide was low during the day, the Higgins ship was easily hit by the reefs, so he had to ask the US Navy to land on the landing car.
At this time, the landing car was in short supply. The Chinese and American Marines needed to land on other islands to search and suppress the remaining enemies. They also needed to travel to Bito Island to transport wounded people, and to transport supplies to the island, so they could not be transferred for the time being.
It was not until Halsey and MacArthur wanted to land on the island to see that they turned to the "Pinghai" and followed Zhang Chi to go together.
Halsey and MacArthur said that they were talking about the island's research on defense, but in fact, as long as everyone knows, they need to study defense even more than Tot Island?!
First of all, the US navy had already completely overwhelmed the Japanese army on the Pacific battlefield, and the Japanese army could not effectively attack the Tarava organization. If the Japanese army really did this, it would be exactly what the US military wanted more than 20 aircraft carriers and thousands of fighter jets of various types. The Japanese joint fleet would destroy as much as it came up.
Secondly, the Japanese army's fortifications on Bito Island are the best fortifications.
This has been proven by facts. Even the US military had to pay such a great price to win such a strong advantage. It is conceivable how strong the Japanese fortifications were.
Therefore, what the US military needs to do is actually to repair the Japanese fortifications. This is not difficult for the US military with modern machinery and equipment. The US military can even build the fortifications more solid in a short period of time.
But Zhang Chi realized afterwards that this was not suitable for the US military.
The reason is not that the Japanese army's fortifications are not good, nor that the US army cannot do it, but that the US soldiers cannot bear the hardship. You should know that most of the fortifications built by the Japanese army are underground, and most of the more than 6,000 Japanese soldiers are hiding underground, and Tarava is near the equator, so the underground tunnel is stuffy and humid. In the words of the US army, it is simply not a place for people to stay.
There were even US soldiers who suspected that Bito Island would not need to be beaten at all, and that the Japanese would be suffocated to death in such fortifications for just a period of time!
Therefore, in fact, most of the US military built ground fortifications on Bito Island, and even installed air conditioners on Bito Island. The United States knew how to enjoy it. Of course, this air conditioner is only for use by officers.
In fact, building ground fortifications is enough for the Japanese army to build underground fortifications to avoid bombing of US warships and fighter jets, while the US army basically does not need to consider this when building fortifications. So this is also a specific analysis of the specific situation.
As soon as Zhang Chi got off the landing car, he suddenly saw a figure running over to him. At first, Zhang Chi thought he was attacked, so he tightened his hand and touched the pistol that was standing on his waist.
But then I heard a familiar female voice shouting, "It's you, God! It's really you, it's so good!"
"Page?!" It took Zhang Chi a long time to remember the owner of this voice.
Page let go of Zhang Chi at this time, looked at Zhang Chi in surprise and joy, and said, "Look, my hero has only been a few months ago, and he is already a colonel!"
Then she soon saw Zhang Chi looking at her two beautiful officials smilingly, and she was so surprised that her chin almost fell down: "General Halsey, General MacArthur"
Page looked at Zhang Chi in confusion. She was shocked that Zhang Chi could go alongside the two prominent American generals. She vaguely felt that Zhang Chi was not as simple as a colonel.
