"Fair?" Nimitz replied: "There is no fairness on the battlefield, nor before the national interests! The performance of the Chinese team is indeed admirable, but we cannot sacrifice our own interests to achieve them. Do you understand?"

"Yes, General!" After a while, Halsey put down the phone.

He felt a little sorry for the Chinese troops because it was obvious that they were allowed to fight at the most dangerous stage, but when they were about to harvest the results... they had to stop and let the Americans go.

From this point of view, Halsey is not suitable for participating in politics, which is one of the reasons why he retired shortly after the war.

But now Halsey has to do this again. After thinking about it, he answered Zhang Chi's phone call.

"Col. I heard that you have captured the 'wolf horns'!" Halsey said: "Congratulations!"

"Yes, thank you General!" Zhang Chi was a little surprised. Halsey would never call him at this time just to congratulate him.

Not to mention the congratulations now, it is too early to say congratulations. Now is the tense moment when the "Wolf Corps" organization is launching a more fierce attack at the same time. Material supply and reinforcement transportation need to be allocated. Any delay of time may delay the fighter jets.

"Then..." Halsey said: "Your mission today has been completed!"

Zhang Chi had a slight ominous premonition, and he frowned and asked, "General, I don't understand what you mean!"

"Our plan is to take down the 'wolf horns' before dark, right?" Halsey replied: "You did it, and they did it well!"

"But... the Japanese are now retreating! We should take this opportunity to expand the results..."

"No! I don't think so!" Halsey replied: "This is very dangerous. I mean... you only have one regiment of troops, but the Japanese troops are twice to three times that of yours. We should fight steadily, right?"

Zhang Chi couldn't help but speak in a while. The Chinese team had only one regiment, but wasn't there still a US military? Send the US military to the "Wolf Corps" to garrison and let the Chinese team go to fight. Then, wouldn't Kwajalin be basically the world of the Sino-US coalition forces? What's more, if this one continues to chase, and the Chinese team has about 60 "Sheerman" tanks, I don't know how many Japanese live forces will be killed. Maybe one battle will kill the Japanese army and be unable to fight back!

But Zhang Chi knew that these were not the reasons. He believed that Halsey would not be so stupid that he didn't know these things. Therefore, there must be his reason for Halsey to do this, and this reason was useless no matter how he opposed it.

"That's it! Colonel!" Halsey said: "You have done a good job. What you have to do next is to clear the enemies of the 'wolf horns' and build fortifications. And... you also need a rest. Let the next thing be left to the Third Division of the Land War. They will land in the early morning of tomorrow and then launch an attack on other areas of Kwajalin Island!"

So Zhang Chi understood that Halsey was going to send the Third Marine Division to pick the fruits of victory.

But Zhang Chi didn't say anything, just replied, "Yes, General!"

Zhang Chi understood that no matter how he argued, it was useless. Zhang Chi even felt that Halsey should do this, because only interests are mentioned between countries, and this is interests.

This also made Zhang Chi realize that it was time to consider the interests of the New Seventh Army.

Then Zhang Chi called Wu Yuhang and ordered: "Stop moving forward and garrison on the spot!"

"What? Master..."

Wu Yuhang was a little puzzled by the order, but Zhang Chi did not give him any chance to argue.

"Execute the command!" Zhang Chi ordered.

"Yes!" Wu Yuhang responded helplessly.

So the Zhong* team quickly began to set up defense at the "Wolf Corner". Since the "Wolf Corner" surrounded the sea on three sides, and the Zhong* team still has 60 "Sheerman" tanks, it is very easy to defend... It only takes sixty "Sheerman" to line up in the defensive direction to form a steel line that cannot be broken.

If this line of defense is facing other enemies such as the German army, it is very dangerous. The German army will easily open a hole in this line of defense and penetrate directly behind the line of defense, which will make most of the "Sherman" on the line of defense become scrap iron because they have no time to return to defense.

But against the Japanese army... they basically have no weapons to destroy "Sheerman", so such a defense line is very effective. What the Chinese team must do is to lay some barbed wire mesh, landmines, observation stations, open and secret whistles, and then prepare infantry behind the defense line, and then put artillery behind the artillery. The entire defense line is basically solid.

The Japanese on the other side were a little confused by the Chinese's move.

"You mean... the Chinese stop pursuing the station?" Koga Feng was a little unbelievable when he heard this information.

Originally, he thought Kwajalin Island was going to play like this, but you should know that there were sixty "Sheerman" tanks and Chinese troops that looked like wolves and tigers. The 61st Garrison even had more combat experience. The two brigades of the First Maritime Mobile Brigade were similar to the lambs to be slaughtered in front of them.

If the Chinese team continues to pursue this way, then the "defense and counterattack" tactic will collapse without rushing to start... Under the cover of "Sheerman", the Chinese people's pursuit speed is even much faster than the speed of the Japanese escaping, which can be seen from the war on Wojie Island.

"Yes!" Counselor Ito replied: "They stopped at the 'Wolf Corner' position to defend!"

"Why do they do this?" Koga Feng frowned: "Why don't they continue to pursue? Isn't this giving us a chance to breathe? Is there...what is there any conspiracy?"

It’s not his fault for Koga Feng to think so soon. This is because Koga Feng was suspicious by nature. On the other hand, the Chinese troops have always performed well on the battlefield, especially Zhang Chi. Koga Feng Yi believes that Zhang Chi will not make such a low-level mistake.

Until Koga Fengyi got information... The Marshall Islands were a colony of the Japanese army, and each island had its own spies set up by the Japanese army.

This information is that US transport ships are gathering in the direction of "Wolf Corner", and a small number of US troops are gradually landing on the island, so Koga Feng understands it.

"So that's how it is!" Koga Fengichi said to himself: "It seems that there is a problem with the cooperation between Chinese and American ghost animals!"
