The b29 bomber is really a good thing. Iwo Jima is more than 3,000 miles away from Rabaul, which has already reached the range of an ordinary transport aircraft (Note: the range of the US 47 transport aircraft is 26oo kilometers).

Therefore, if you ride an ordinary transport plane or bomber, you must transfer or refuel in the middle, and you must also fly with the fighter plane and then consider the range and refueling of the fighter plane, and even have to deploy an aircraft carrier.

However, all problems were solved as soon as the b29 was released... If this thing is not bombed, it can fly almost 10,000 kilometers. Because it can fly to a height of 10,000 meters that Japanese fighters cannot fly, it does not require fighter planes to fly at all. It only needs several fighter planes to fly in the climbing stage near the airport and the descent altitude stage of destinations. In other stages, one aircraft will solve all problems.

Zhang Chi returned to Rabaul this time and took the B29 bomber. He arrived at Rabaul in the early morning of the next day after leaving that night.

Of course, this is also because Zhang Chi is rushing to the road. If it is someone else... he will take the bus to transfer the bus or even take the bus toss on the sea for a few days.

At this time, Rabaul and Zhang Chi were very different when he left.

While still on the plane, Zhang Chi looked at Labaul under the rising sun from the sky. Except for the volcano that was still emitting black smoke, there was golden everywhere in other places... Zhang Chi was surprised at first, but soon realized that it was his previous order, that is, to grow grain in Labaul.

Rabaul is indeed a suitable place for growing grain. You should know that it is winter now, but the food here is ripe.

What Zhang Chi didn't know was that the soldiers of the Sixth Army who were transported from China by "ant moving" were shocked when they first climbed to Rabaul when they saw the endless grain on the island stirring up rice waves in the sea breeze.

Then, they almost ran into these rice fields without exception, regardless of the mud in the rice fields, singing and dancing inside. Some even hugged a cluster of immature wheat ears and refused to leave for a long time...

These are all soldiers who are afraid of being hungry in China. When have you ever seen so much food? It looks like a group of robbers suddenly appearing in a mountain of gold. It feels like that other people can not understand it.

In the words of the soldiers of the Sixth Army, "This is like a dream. Did you see it with your own eyes? I really can't believe that there is such a good place in this world!"

"Is this the Pure Land? If I can stay here, I will do whatever I want!"

...

In other words, they were conquered here as soon as they landed on the island. What conquered them was not anything else, but food all over the ground.

This works because all the soldiers who came here are energetic. They are said to be high in morale, but they are not considered to be... As the saying goes, you must get up from wherever you fall. If a unit that is always defeated in battle really wants to restore its morale, it still has to be pulled to the battlefield to practice with the enemy and defeat the enemy to be considered a real recovery.

But in any case, these troops were completely different from when they left Myanmar.

This is not only because of the training they have received along the way, but also because they have more advanced equipment in their hands, but also because they know... From now on, there is no need to worry about being hungry, no need to worry about being injured and dying due to the miserable use of medicine, nor is there any need to worry about being detained for Junshu to have no money to give his family food and clothing after he sacrificed himself.

If a unit wants to have combat effectiveness, it must first make the troops of this unit have no worries, let them see what kind of glory and benefits they will get after winning the battle on the battlefield, and let them know that even if they sacrifice, they don’t have to worry about their families... Only in this way can they rush forward to the enemy and defeat the enemy.

Zhang Chi felt this when he got off the plane, because around the airport, there were soldiers singing loud military songs passing by in neat steps.

Judging from their appearance, these soldiers are definitely not soldiers of the New First Army, because their military uniforms and helmets are brand new (Note: military uniforms are British military uniforms, China is so poor that it can't even afford the new military uniforms, so when Chinese troops passed by Myanmar, they changed into military uniforms processed and transported from India in Myanmar).

From them, Zhang Chi saw the vitality of the New First Army when it was just trained. If he hadn't known in advance that the Sixth Army who had arrived in Labaul had fled without fighting on the battlefield in Myanmar, he would have really not recognized it.

In fact, Zhang Chi was looking at the soldiers, and the soldiers were also secretly observing Zhang Chi.

A team of soldiers who were resting were still whispering: "What is that guy from? He is sitting alone in a plane of such a big size!"

"Yes! Look... there are a few jeeps to pick them up together!"

"At least he should be a team leader!"

"Captain? Will the regiment commander have such a big plane to deliver? Our commander is not qualified!"

"Then he is..."

The soldiers were confused. If even the commander was not qualified, would they still be the commander? But he was so young and had seen all the commanders, so he was obviously not the officer!

The American instructor who was listening to these comments put down the kettle in his mouth, smiled and replied: "Don't guess! He is Zhang Chi, the commander of the New First Division!"

With a "coaxing", the soldiers' faces immediately changed. Several soldiers even stood up unconsciously and looked in the direction of Zhang Chi's departure with strange eyes.

They had long heard of Zhang Chi's deeds in China... At that time, they hadn't taken it seriously. Almost all the soldiers knew that it was common for the ** troops to exaggerate the results of the war several times. Others did this, but they themselves did this, so they forgot after hearing it.

but……

When they walked out of Myanmar, they walked over to the island with training camps, which was another matter.

The instructors in the training camp were soldiers of the New First Division. They taught the new recruits of the Sixth Army not only had gun knowledge and tactical knowledge, but also a very important part of it was to introduce them to the combat experience of the New First Division on the battlefield... and these combat experiences were all real, with blood and life bit by bit. Some soldiers even pointed at the wounds on their bodies and said to them: "This is left on Guadalcanal Island, this is left when they attacked the island of Perelio..."

This is an education, and it also conveys a spirit of fighting for the enemy.

At the same time, the deeds of Zhang Chi, the New First Division he led and all the expeditionary soldiers were also planted in the hearts of these Chinese soldiers who carried on the past.

In just that moment, these Chinese soldiers had a sense of honor and a sense of pride that they could become members of the Expeditionary Force.

This is also the reason why they were so shocked when they knew that the young officer who walked off the plane was Zhang Chi. (To be continued.)8
