Chapter 245 Flintlock 2
The soldiers of the New Seventh Army trained very hard, practiced during the day and at night, and were all training in addition to eating and five hours of sleep every day.]
This is precisely one of the benefits of the China National Team. The soldiers of the China National Team can endure hardships and can stand the training. If this is put on the head of the US military, they should be yelling that they can't bear it.
But even so, Zhang Chi still felt that the time was too short... The preparation time from beginning to end was only sixteen days. Just as the Chinese soldiers were still training when they were approaching the battlefield, they still felt unsure.
This is a bit like the feeling I felt when I was in the college entrance examination. I usually feel good, but when I was in the exam, I always feel that I can’t do this or that. I want to read more and memorize more everything, and sometimes I feel that I can’t do anything.
Even on the last day, fellow villagers and several group leaders were still arranging training subjects.
Zhang Chi just ordered one order... "Everyone has it, all training will be cancelled, and everyone will rest."
This made several team leaders under Zhang Chi refused to agree.
"Teacher!" When receiving this order, the second regiment commander ran into the command center with a anxious look on his face and said, "How can the training be cancelled? The battle is about to start tomorrow, and the coordination between our regiment infantry and the boarding car 6 is still in trouble!"
"Teacher's seat!" Then the fellow villager and the third regiment commander also walked into the command center with their backs.
"There are so many new equipment that are coming in, but you haven't mastered the key points yet!" said a fellow villager: "Let's practice again, otherwise there may be trouble in the fight!"
"Can you practice well after another day?" Zhang Chi asked back: "Can you use these equipment proficiently?"
"This..." After Zhang Chi asked this, the leaders of the group were speechless.
"What we need to rely on in war is not just equipment!" Zhang Chi replied: "It also depends on people! I think compared to our equipment is much more advanced than the Japanese, and our combat experience and quality are not weaker than the Japanese, so what else can't be defeated?"
"Master, we are not afraid...but we practice more..."
"Now is not the time to practice!" Zhang Chi replied: "On the last day, I can't make any achievements if I practice anymore. Let the soldiers have a good rest and maintain their spirits and fight a good battle tomorrow!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
...
"Also!" When several regiment commanders were about to retreat, Zhang Chi added: "Tell the soldiers not to panic, nor to get lost because of new equipment. They should fight as they usually do whatever they want tomorrow. This battle is not difficult to fight, do you understand?"
Zhang Chi is to avoid the hesitation of the soldiers on the battlefield after taking over the new equipment. "Hesitation" on the battlefield is the most terrifying. It will turn a well-trained soldier into a recruit who does not know how to fight.
From this point of view, Zhang Chi hoped that there would be no new equipment, because these new equipment had become a factor affecting the psychological state of the soldiers.
But then again, the troops' adaptation to new equipment always requires a process. After this process is over, its role can be reflected on the battlefield.
In fact, this battle is not only because the Chinese troops feel "unsure", but also because of the US military forces, there are obstacles such as "time shortage" and "lack of precise target information". Although everyone knows that the advancement of this battle is imperative, they are also a little worried because of insufficient preparation.
The next day, "Flintshu 2" unfolded in such uncertain mystery among the Sino-US coalition forces.
As usual, there was a huge bombing, and the targets of the bombing were the three islands in the center of the archipelago: Kwajalin Atoll, Maloerap Atoll and Voj Atoll.
Bombing is mainly responsible for the escort aircraft carrier... The escort aircraft carrier has weak defense and sink resistance, but its combat effectiveness in bombing and combat is not inferior to that of light aircraft carriers at all. After all, when the fighter jet flies into the air, the combat effectiveness it shows is reflected by the fighter jet, and has nothing to do with whether the aircraft carrier itself is an escort aircraft carrier or the main aircraft carrier.
Of course, escort aircraft carriers do not fight alone, they also need to protect them by main aircraft carriers or light aircraft carriers.
For this reason, the US military organized three brigades of aircraft carriers that were carried out on the mission at the Center of the Archipelago, each of which had a main aircraft carrier and a light aircraft carrier. The main task of these aircraft carriers was to seize air supremacy to attack the Japanese air force.
In addition, there are two or three escort aircraft carriers, which are used to bomb islands and assist the main aircraft carriers in combat.
But in fact, the mission of the main aircraft carrier can be said to be completed at the first time... but it cannot be said to be completed, because at this time the Japanese implemented the "z" plan to avoid the important points.
In fact, when the main US fleet suddenly appeared in the center of the Marshall Islands, it was indeed caught off guard by the Japanese army.
"What's going on?" As soon as Koga Feng received the telegram, he asked the staff officer in surprise: "Didn't the American ghost animals focus on the three islands on the periphery? Why did it suddenly appear near Kwajalin Atoll?"
"Grandmaster General!" Counselor Ito replied: "I think... this should be the American plan to attack the outside world. On the surface, it seems to be a target of the periphery, but the real purpose is to directly destroy our army's command center and divide the entire Marshall Islands into two unsupported parts!"
Koga Feng nodded heavily when he looked at the map, because the three islands and reefs selected by the Americans were exactly in a straight line, and these three islands and reefs also had airports. If the Americans occupied these three islands and reefs and used the airports on them, then the American planes would divide the Marshall Islands into several parts... and it was just a few parts of how American planes bombed them!
Therefore, Koga Peak had no choice but to defend these islands and reefs, otherwise the loss of the Marshall Islands would be just a matter of time.
But in fact, Koga Feng also had a voice in his heart... The loss of the Marshall Islands has always been a matter of time, but everyone, including Koga Feng, is not willing to admit it.
What Koga Feng can do now is to do his best to delay and consume.
Procrastination refers to delaying time so that other Japanese defenses have more preparation time.
Consumption is to consume American equipment and troops to relieve the pressure that other Japanese defense lines may face.
After thinking about it, Koga Feng ordered: "Notify Yamada-kun and implement the 'z' plan immediately!"
"Yes!" Consultant Ito immediately conveyed the order.
