The next day, Halsey flew back to Kwajalin Island to meet Zhang Chi. He needed to work with Zhang Chi to develop a plan to attack Liuhuang Island... Although the attack on Liuhuang Island was completed by Chinese troops alone, it required the logistics support of the US military.

"Colin!" When Halsey saw Zhang Chi, his first sentence was: "I have to tell you a bad news first! You are right again. According to our reconnaissance, the Japanese army is strengthening the defenses of Okinawa and Ryuhuang Island."

"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded.

"Also..." Halsey said a little embarrassedly: "We can't even stop the Japanese army from sending troops or supplies to Ryuhuang Island and Okinawa Island."

"What?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "We have submarines, don't we? There are fighters and bombers... that cannot block the Japanese transportation?"

Zhang Chi didn't believe it.

Halsey shook his head slowly: "Obviously, the Japanese have found a new way to deal with our blockade! They used small boats to transport them at night... Simply put, they first transported people and materials to one or several islands where they could store materials, and these islands were still outside the ambush of our submarines. Therefore, our submarines were powerless to these transport ships, and then... they used small boats to transport them one by one, just like relays to send them to Liuhuang Island!"

"It's really a good idea!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

There is a saying that "the way is one foot high and the devil is one foot high." The US military tried every means to blockade, and the Japanese army would try every means to break through the blockade, so they each had their own tricks.

This can also be said to be the positive side of war, because it is precisely in this war-driven competition that various weapons and equipment and even high-tech developments have been achieved.

"What else have you detected?" Zhang Chi asked.

Halsey handed a file bag to Zhang Chi and said, "That's all. We sent submarines and planes to conduct preliminary reconnaissance on it... Fortunately, we did not find a large number of fortifications on the island. This seems to be said that the Japanese have not come yet to prepare!"

Zhang Chi just smiled and replied: "General, have you seen a large number of fortifications on the island of Perelieru?"

Halsey was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean is that the Japanese defense on Liuhuang Island will also build a large number of fortifications underground just like on Perelieru Island?"

"Why not?" Zhang Chi asked back.

"We... thought that was just a tactical feature of the Japanese army in the Philippines!"

"Of course not!" Zhang Chi said: "In fact, this is a helpless choice for the Japanese navy to fail completely. Because we know that our navy can no longer compete with the US military, that is, we will completely lose sea and air control, so we will transfer the fortifications underground! In other words, when attacking in the direction of Japan, every island will be Pellio Island!"

Halsey nodded: "So, this actually proves that what you are saying is correct. The Japanese's actions in the Philippines are actually bluffs, but we were fooled!"

Zhang Chi wanted to continue the sentence "Your president was actually intentionally deceived." But after thinking about it, he didn't say it... Halsey has done well enough, and Zhang Chi is unwilling to stimulate him again.

"So..." Halsey asked: "What is your plan? I mean...how to deal with Liuhuangdao?"

"My plan is that there is no plan!" Zhang Chi replied: "The reason is that we have too little information about Liuhuangdao!"

"Yeah!" Halsey nodded.

All the situations related to Liuhuang Island obtained by the US military are actually just a few aerial photos and the hydrological situation of Liuhuang Island.

This is not the US military. As Halsey said before, the US military originally thought that this was the Japanese defense situation. Even Halsey realized after Zhang Chi reminded him that Liuhuang Island was also another Pelliwu Island.

In other words, the Japanese army's defenses are actually underground, or most of them are underground, and what the US military reconnaissed is just a superficial one... They know nothing about the Japanese army's underground fortifications, such as where the Japanese army's fortifications are, how large is the scale, how much troops and firepower are there, etc.

If you know nothing about the enemy's intelligence, of course you will not be able to formulate any combat plan.

However, Zhang Chi was not sure at all, because at least in modern times he also learned about some wars about Liuhuang Island and knew that the Japanese tunnel fortifications were mainly built in Zhebo Mountain and Yuanshan. Moreover, the battle fought by the US military was still very difficult. What Zhang Chi hoped was that because the expeditionary force attacked the surprisingly unexpected attack before the scheduled time, the Japanese army's preparations were not as sufficient as in history.

As Zhang Chi thought, most of the Japanese fortifications were built underground.

But in fact, the Japanese army's defense is not a solid piece of mind... The reason is actually the contradiction between the 6th Army of the Japanese army and the navy.

Hideki Tojo was born in the 6th Army, and Kenya Sato was also from the Japanese army. Although they were the highest commanders of Japan, Hideki Tojo was even the Japanese minister and chief of staff, they could be said to be a military and political power. But the problem is that the Navy always looked down on the 6th Army, especially Toyota's deputy watcher still looked down on Hideki Tojo...

This can also be said to be a side effect of Tojo Hideki making Toyota Deputy Takeru the commander of the Joint Fleet... Let a person who looked down on him as the Chief of Staff serve as the commander of the Joint Fleet, which itself will challenge his authority.

On the other hand, the Japanese army on Liuhuang Island was divided into navy and 6th army.

Needless to say, the 6th Army must have implemented Kenya Sato's strategic policy, especially in the case of war that Pellio Island proved to seem effective.

The reason why it is said "seem to be effective" here is because the Japanese army did not hold onto Pelliou Island for long.

The Navy is the Special Six Team, and they are also the original garrison army of Liuhuangdao. Their thinking is still on air supremacy, or on the thinking of eliminating the enemy on the beach and the sea surface.

In fact, it’s not their fault. The navy is a considerable number of generals who have received higher education. This kind of higher education is correct to some extent. Of course, this must be limited to the Japanese army and the navy and air force. If there is not even the navy and air force, then this so-called "higher education" will definitely not stand.

But the Japanese were very stubborn, so the 6th Navy team insisted on implementing defense on the shore. They believed that this was the best place to resist the enemy's attack and the best time.

Even the Japanese Navy Special 6th Team kept the airport open because it had a few small fighter jets. It is to be continued
