The advantage of US military operations is that they will not rush forward even though they know that the situation of the war is not good for them, so the first Land War Regiment quickly retreated temporarily.

At this time, the US fleet made a clever move. They moved their main force to Cape Veri in the other direction and organized a landing battle on Cape Veri... Of course, this was to confuse the Japanese army. Cape Veri was too small and was not enough to accommodate a division of Chinese troops. So it could not be the place where the US military really landed.

But the Japanese army did not know this. They didn't even know the US military's strength, so of course they could not determine where the US military landed, which made them afraid to mobilize their troops easily.

In fact, the US Navy is too concerned at this point. The reason is that Guadalam is rarely visited. The island is full of terrain and crisscrossing rivers everywhere, but there are no bridges. There are primitive jungles everywhere but there are not even a mountain road. Especially the Japanese army is not strong enough. Therefore, even if the Japanese army knows that the landing location of the US Navy is Cape Esperance, they will not be able to send troops to reinforce in a short period of time.

So, when the American Land War Regiment launched another attack after an hour, that is, the fuel on the sea was extinguished, the progress was much smoother.

Under the bombing of naval guns, the first land war regiment successfully boarded Cape Esperance and launched a fierce battle with the Japanese army.

At this time, Zhang Chi received the order from Brigadier General William.

"Colin!" William said on the walkie-talkie: "The Land War Regiment has successfully boarded Guadao and paved the way for you. Now... it's time for you to use your cleverness!"

"Yes, General!" Zhang Chi replied: "It's indeed time for me to use my cleverness!"

Of course, Brigadier General William didn't know that Zhang Chi was thinking of "little cleverness", which meant to disobey his orders and act according to his own ideas. He even smiled on the other end of the phone: "Good luck, Colonel! I also hope that your smartness can help you win the battle!"

After putting down the phone, Zhang Chi ordered to Pit beside him: "Go!"

"Yes!" Peter responded and immediately conveyed the order.

Because he had received relevant training while in Myanmar, the soldiers quickly climbed along the warship's net rope to the landing craft under the warship.

There was only one battalion of troops participating in the first batch of operations... This was because Brigadier William assigned only fifteen landing craft to the Chinese troops, which was indeed a little less for the personnel and equipment of a regiment.

Brigadier General William's idea was: anyway, these Chinese soldiers followed the land war regiment to occupy positions to build defense lines. At the same time, because the navy was not prepared enough, there were not so many landing crafts. So they only allocated fifteen landing crafts to the Chinese army.

Each of the American landing craft can carry 36 fully armed soldiers, or load them with a tank or jeep.

Zhang Chi's allocation of these fifteen landing crafts was: ten of them were loaded with soldiers from one battalion, three were loaded with ammunition and supplements needed by the first battalion, and the other two were loaded with two tanks.

The person who commanded these landing craft was a major named Miller. Pitt had already established a relationship with him in advance, and even suggested that if he encountered an emergency during combat, he would likely change his destination... This is very common in combat, so Miller was not surprised at all.

The landing craft formation drove all the way to Cape Esperance amid the sound of artillery. After a while, Zhang Chi saw the flames exploding on Gua Island ahead and the dazzling light emitted by the flares rising up in the air. There were even members of the US Marine Corps who kept sending signals to the landing craft on the shore, which was telling Zhang Chi and others that the safety ahead was safe and that the Chinese troops could land on the safe side.

The next second, Zhang Chi winked at Pitt.

Pete nodded understandingly, then took out a map from his pocket and said to Miller: "Hey, Major... we received the order to change the login location, and now go to Cape Lunga!"

"Cape Lengga?!" Miller felt a little strange when he heard this: "There are no Marines there!"

Pete laughed: "Look at us, do we need Marines?"

"Okay!" Miller gave an order to change his destination to the landing craft formation without thinking too much, so the fleet quickly turned around and headed towards Cape Lunga.

Since the landing craft was turning on the dark sea, neither the brigade general William nor the soldiers of the Land War Regiment on Gua Island noticed this situation, and the landing craft formation was not blocked.

On the way to Cape Lunga, heavy rain suddenly started in the air... This is how the weather in the ocean is, and it changes as soon as you say it changes.

However, Zhang Chi soon discovered that this was a good thing for the landing troops, because the heavy rain reduced visibility and the thunder would also cover up the motor sound of the landing craft, which might allow the Chinese troops to board Cape Lunga without the Japanese beings noticed.

Sure enough, as Zhang Chi estimated, when the landing craft drove to Cape Lunga and landed on the dock, he did not encounter any resistance from the Japanese army. Even the same was true when two tanks "rumbled" and drove off the landing craft and sailed onto the beach.

This made Zhang Chi feel a little nervous... Not meeting any resistance, it also means not knowing where the Japanese defense line is, and it is very dangerous to grop in the dark, because it may plunge into the enemy pile and he doesn't know it yet.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi ordered the landing craft to leave first. Then ordered all troops to be concealed, especially the two tanks... At this time, Zhang Chi regretted bringing the tanks. He knew that he could easily land without the Japanese army noticing it, and would rather bring a jeep than a tank.

But it was proved that it was necessary to bring tanks afterwards. The reason was that the Japanese army concentrated near the airport were North Korean engineers, and they only had light weapons. There was no effective equipment to deal with tanks. Because they were North Korean Japanese troops, they would not rush forward with cluster grenades or explosive packs like real Japanese troops in combat, so these two tanks played a considerable role in the subsequent battles.

Then, Zhang Chi ordered the mortar gunner to fire a shell in the direction of the Japanese army.

With a "boom!", a shell exploded in the direction of the Japanese army.

The shell immediately seemed to poke a hornet's nest. The lights of the flashlights and searchlights shone in the direction where the shell exploded. The Japanese army could occasionally hear the shouts of the thunderstorm, and then several searchlights shone towards the sea... Of course, the landing craft had withdrawn at this time, so the Japanese army found nothing at all.

After a while, the Japanese army became quiet again. They thought the shell was a stray bullet that was accidentally fired here by the US military.
