"Colin!" Halsey said seriously with a stern face: "This is the army, you cannot refuse to execute any orders!"

"No, I can!" Zhang Chi replied: "Because in principle, we are the Chinese army! Maybe you can ask me what it means to go up the peak... If it is the order he gave, then of course I must execute it!"

So Halsey looked at Wang Mazi..net

Although Wang Mazi couldn't understand English, the translator he brought was explaining to him. He also understood the focus of the debate between them with great pleasure. At this time, he saw everyone turning their eyes to him, so he smiled and said, "I raised my hands to agree with Colonel Zhang Chi's decision, and I also refused to execute this order. If you are not satisfied, you can also ask me what I meant to go up to the top!"

"fuk!" Halsey couldn't help but curse.

Because he knew very well that the Chinese who really wanted to fight were standing in front of him, and Principal Jiang would better let his troops not be dragged onto the battlefield until the war ended.

After pausing, Halsey asked Zhang Chi: "Zhang...I want to know why you rejected this order. I think our goals are consistent!"

"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied: "Our goals are indeed the same. We are all trying to defeat the Japanese. But we are not the same in the attack on Tarawa... because I will not let my soldiers die, I must be responsible for the lives of my subordinates. If you do this, please!"

"God! How is this possible?" Halsey said in confusion: "You have never even seen that island. It is just a small island, even an island outside the Japanese'absolute defense circle'. The Japanese may have given up on it!"

"No, they don't!" Zhang Chi stared into Halsey's eyes and replied: "They have built solid fortifications waiting for us!"

Zhang Chi had every reason to say this, because he knew clearly that the US military paid more than 3,000 people when attacking Tarawa. If it weren't for the National Luck... Japanese commander Keiji Shibasaki would have taken his subordinates out of the bunker to inspect and were killed by US artillery, leaving the Japanese army in a state of unmanned command, and the US military might not even be able to capture Tarawa.

There are more than 3,000 people, and the total number of New First Division is only more than 10,000, and it is difficult to replenish the New First Division's troops. Zhang Chi will not risk the New First Division's sabotage to fight this battle.

"Ha!" MacArthur sarcastically said, "Look, Rick, this is what you call a hero! Your hero actually retreated in front of several deserted islands!"

"General MacArthur!" Zhang Chi replied: "If you think those small islands are within your reach, why don't you take them back?"

"In fact..." MacArthur smiled, "I originally planned to do this, Colonel! But Rick thought the New Division was more suitable for this task, but now he was going to be disappointed. I think you gave me a chance..."

"Give you a chance?" Zhang Chi was a little puzzled.

"Yes!" MacArthur replied: "Because you refuse to execute the order, my troops have a chance to show their skills!"

Then MacArthur stood up and approached Zhang Chi intentionally, staring at Zhang Chi's eyes and said, "Don't worry, Colonel! I will take back these islands with General Halsey, and then invite you and your heroic troops to board the island!"

"I'll wait and see!" Zhang Chi replied, and then walked out of the command center with Wang Mazi.

"What's the situation?" Wang Mazi asked after walking out of the command center: "Why don't you fight?"

"The Americans underestimated the enemy!" Zhang Chi replied: "They want to attack without sufficient information. I have a premonition that they will suffer a big loss!"

"Yes!" Wang Mazi nodded: "If you say that, you will be sure to be wrong! Let's just go and see!"

Halsey on the other side felt so determined, so he began to feel distressed.

"Is there really a problem here?" Halsey asked: "Maybe we should have more information!"

"Don't be scared by that coward!" MacArthur replied: "That's just a trick of the Chinese! I think they dare not disobey the principal's order, so they found these excuses..."

"I hope so!" Halsey replied.

But he was still worried because he knew that the Chinese had almost never missed the judgment on the battlefield. What if he was still right this time?

Thinking of this, Halsey chased out of the command center and shouted to Zhang Chi: "Zhang...If you don't want to be the main attacker, then what do you think as a reserve team?"

Zhang Chi was a little surprised by Halsey's performance.

You should know that Halsey's nickname is "Manniu", which is not only because of his brave style, but also because of his irritable temper. A person with a bad temper can make a request in a low voice when he was still on the verge of the fight just now...

Perhaps seeing through Zhang Chi's thoughts, Halsey shrugged with a wry smile and said, "I'm also for my subordinates!"

Zhang Chi nodded. Although Halsey didn't say much, he fully understood.

An officer, especially a general like Halsey, is less impulsive when making a decision, because it is very likely that the lives of thousands of subordinates will be determined just because of a little temper.

Obviously, letting the New First Division, a unit with rich combat experience as a reserve team will be of great help to the battle situation.

So Zhang Chi and Wang Mazi were "invited back" to the command center again... It is also necessary for the reserve team to understand the detailed combat plan, because only in this way can they play a role in time when problems arise on the battlefield.

In response to this, MacArthur spread his hands as if he was generous and said, "It doesn't matter, I just hope that the Chinese people can see how we took back those small islands!"

Halsey was still a little worried. After thinking about it, he sent a telegram to instruct the intelligence department to continue to collect intelligence from British soldiers.

Then an intelligence was transmitted to the command room... The intelligence was provided by a British major named Frank Harland. He had lived in the area of ​​Tarava for 15 years and the nutrients became a hobby for studying the tides around the island. When he heard that the Navy 6 team was planning to land on Bito Island recently, he was shocked because he knew that there was a tide called "avoiding" recently, and the water could not pass 91m without the coral reef.

Needless to say, the Navy boarded the 6th boat will be stranded.
