While the Allied forces were busy attacking the islands around Rabaul and New Guinea, the New First Division remained silent on Guadalam.

Of course, the New First Division is not resting on Guadao like the First Army Division, they are preparing for landing in Rabaul.

Among them, the main force of the offensive was of course the New First Regiment led by Zhang Chi. This is not only because Zhang Chi's New First Regiment is the most combat-capable unit in the New First Division, but also because the predecessor of the New First Regiment was the Engineer Regiment, and the task of the New First Regiment was to sneak into Rabaul as a North Korean engineer.

In order to better complete this task, it is to say that it is as good as possible to avoid being seen by the Japanese army. Therefore, during this period, Zhang Chi's new regiment has been mixed with the captive Japanese Korean engineers. This is to learn some semi-foreign and non-local Japanese from the Korean Japanese engineers. In addition, there are some life, work habits and details of the Japanese people pay great attention to details. A little bit of inadvertent flaw may bring irreparable losses to the troops. Zhang Chi does not want to take this risk.

"Report!" On this day, the battalion commander of the engineering battalion Lee Ho took Park Jung-hyung to Jang Chi and said, "Room, Colonel Park hopes to give you some suggestions!"

"We have met!" Zhang Chi said to the Japanese prisoner. Although he couldn't remember where he had seen it, he looked very familiar.

"Yes!" Park Jung Hyung nodded and said, "Group, I surrendered to you!"

"Oh!" Zhang Chi remembered after Park Jung-hyung said this.

"What advice do you have?" Zhang Chi asked: "Is your food or treatment not good enough?"

"No, colonel!" Park Jung Hyung replied: "The food and treatment are great, you treat us well, which makes us feel like we are all in heaven!"

Park Jung-hyung's words are not flattering. The Japanese food cannot be compared with the American canned beef. Moreover, the Korean engineers such as Park Jung-hyung were treated as inferior people in the Japanese army, so the food and treatment are even worse. Now they have almost the same food as ordinary soldiers in the Chinese army. It is false to say that there is no difference. When the food in Guadalam was tight, even the American soldiers had to eat two meals a day. At that time, in order to save food, they gave prisoners one meal a day, but even so, it was much better than having only one rice ball in the Japanese army at all times.

On the other hand, it was also because the soldiers of the Chinese team gradually realized that these Korean soldiers were also forced to join the Japanese army, which was a bit similar to the Chinese puppet army. Many relatives or comrades in the Chinese soldiers were forced to join the puppet army, so they also had a greater sense of identity with these Korean Japanese army, so their attitude towards them was different from the real Japanese army.

More importantly, these Korean-born Japanese troops can be said to have played a significant role in the battlefield. In the Battle of Guadalam, the New Orlean Regiment almost became in chaos because of the attack from the sea by the Japanese Navy Special Marines. Thanks to these Korean-born Japanese troops, they took up weapons and organized defenses to repel these Japanese troops.

Moreover, these Japanese troops from North Korea were very conscious and took the initiative to return the weapons and equipment to the US military after repelling the Japanese army.

"So" Zhang Chi couldn't help but ask Park Jung Hyung in confusion: "What suggestions do you have?"

"Uh" Park Jung-hyung hesitated a little, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Some words, I know I shouldn't ask if you want to pretend to be a North Korean engineer and sneak into Rabaul?!"

Zhang Chi's face couldn't help but feel cold and replied, "Col. Park, you just need to do your own thing well. It's best not to guess other things!"

Zhang Chi was a little surprised because the incident of getting into Rabaul was of great importance. As long as you reveal a little bit of the verdict, the New First Group will face a catastrophe, so so far only a few people know about this plan, and they don’t know about it, including the soldiers of the New First Group.

"I understand!" Park Jung-hyung nodded sincerely and said, "Please believe me. If I don't have sincerity, I will not come to discuss this issue with you."

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi couldn't help but nod.

Park Jung-hyung's words were right. If his purpose was to make the Xinyi ball jump into the trap, then he just needed to keep silent and find a way to secretly pass the news to the Japanese.

However, it seems that it is not easy to do this, because it is an island. And the prisoners such as Park Jung-hyung do not have any communication equipment.

"Also," Park Jung Hyung continued: "The thing I want to make a statement is that I didn't tell anyone about this, nor did anyone tell me about it."

"Did you guess?" Zhang Chi asked.

"Yes!" Park Jung Hyung replied: "The soldiers of the New First Regiment are learning Japanese with us, and even learning our living habits, asking us what we call Japanese chiefs, etc."

"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded.

In fact, it is not too difficult to guess this. Zhang Chi believes that many people have this guess, but they just don’t say it out because of the principle of confidentiality.

"So, your advice is"

"Room!" Park Jung Hyung said: "You can really deceive the Japanese by pretending to be a North Korean engineer, but have you ever thought that there are many North Korean engineers in Rabaul, can you deceive the Koreans?!"

Zhang Chi was stunned when he heard this. As the saying goes, Zhang Chi was just thinking about tricking the Japanese into escorting into Rabaul, but he didn't expect that there were many Koreans under the Japanese system. If the Japanese army casually brought a few Koreans to the New Orleans and had a call with the New Orleans, they would soon find that the New Orleans were "spy".

"I can join!" Lee Ho volunteered: "Roun, I am a North Korean, I can speak Korean, and there are eleven Koreans in our army!"

"Eleventh Koreans are far from enough!" Park Jung Hyung answered, "Tongzhang, if I guess correctly, your target should be Rabaul Airport!"

Zhang Chi couldn't help but look at Park Jung-hyung in a little surprised.

If it is not surprising that the New First Regiment is to disguise itself as a North Korean engineer, then it requires a certain amount of military knowledge to guess that the New First Regiment’s target is an airport.

Park Jung Hyung is right. The most important thing in the island war is air supremacy, and the basis of air supremacy is the airport. Zhang Chi's plan is to lead the new regiment into Rabaul and then plug into the airport at the fastest speed, either occupying control or destroying the airport.

In this way, the Japanese army will quickly lose sea and air control in the Labaur Sea airspace, and the other two regiments of the New First Division can successfully land and fight in cooperation with the New First Regiment to win Labaur.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi asked Park Jung-hyung: "Do you want to join the sneak attack force?" (To be continued.)
