Chapter 303 Newspapers

The Battle of Marshall Islands soon came to an end.

Because several important central islands in the Marshall Islands were hollowed out by the US military, the Japanese army in the entire Marshall Islands lost air support, supplies and unified command, and the most serious thing was... Because the Japanese joint fleet was unable to participate in the war, the Japanese troops stationed on various islands were even without ships, which made them unable to escape even if they wanted to escape, and of course they could not support each other. So the Japanese army was like a pile of loose sand. All they could do was stay on the island and wait for the Sino-US coalition forces to clean up and clear them.

Of course, these battles do not require Chinese troops to fight... The main battles are fought by Chinese troops, and after the battle, the Chinese troops should be allowed to rest. The remaining small battles should naturally be completed by the US military.

What makes people feel a little funny is that before performing these tasks, the US military sent a large number of officers and soldiers to learn from the Chinese troops.

In the past, the US military was condescending to train the Chinese troops, but now the US military came to accept the scolding and training of the Chinese troops. This unconsciously made the soldiers of the Expeditionary Army secretly feel happy... You Americans still look down on us Chinese, but aren't you obedient and ask us for help?!

In fact, Americans are unwilling to do this in their hearts. They have never even admitted that the Chinese troops will be stronger than them, even if the Chinese troops have fought so many amazing victories.

But the problem is...

At this time, the Chinese team can be said to be the only force that has used the "Donald Duck" to land and fight, and is also the only force that has modified and used the "fire-spraying tank" to effectively clear the Japanese tunnels...

The former "Donald Duck" problem is okay, after all, it is actually a "Sheerman" tank, and it was also produced by Wilson and others. From Wilson and others, you can also understand the advantages and disadvantages of "Donald Duck" and even the practical experience of the Chinese team... As the producer of "Donald Duck", Wilson has always been paying attention to the actual combat of "Donald Duck", so of course he knows what problems it will have in actual combat.

Let’s take a step back, it’s no big deal even if you don’t use the “Donald Duck”. After all, the remaining islands in the Marshall Islands are all defeated Japanese soldiers. Generally, there is no “Donald Duck” and you can solve the problem by just a landing car.

Of course, it would be better if there was a "Donald Duck".

But the "fire-breathing tank" forced the US military to bow to the Chinese troops...

At this time, building tunnels for defense has become a common phenomenon for the Japanese army. There are even many Japanese soldiers connecting several tunnels to save their lives, which has increased the difficulty of the US military attacking tunnels.

The Third US Army Division, which had suffered on Kwajalin Island, knew very well that this was not a trivial matter. These Japanese people hid in the tunnel like mice and did not come out during the day. They waited for secretly to get out to harass them at night, and then sniping and infiltration warfare, which would make the US military miserable.

So the US military finally lowered its head and expressed its willingness to receive training from Chinese troops.

This head was opened by Colonel Garcia. In his words, it is: "If you are willing to pay the price of your life and insist on not learning to use the 'fire-spray tank' from the Chinese team, then please, I will lead my troops to learn from them! Because compared to life, face is nothing!"

It is obvious that Colonel Garcia has realized the cruelty of the battlefield.

This made war correspondents all over the world frustrated, so they interviewed the US military trained and interviewed the China National Team. Page even took a photo of the China National Team training the US soldiers, and then enlarged it on the front page, and the annotation was: "You read that right, Chinese soldiers are training the US soldiers to use tanks, and this tank is even produced by the United States!"

This approach was quickly imitated by other journalists, so the Chinese Expeditionary Force became a legend in an instant. Many people with only a few knowledges abroad expressed their disbelief... Why do American soldiers still need the Chinese team to train? And they still use American tanks? So there is only one conclusion in the end, that is, Chinese soldiers use tanks too many times on the battlefield, so they have more experience in using tanks than American soldiers. Some people even achieved a brilliant victory because of the Chinese Navy, but the US Navy was defeated under the same batch of Japanese fighter jets. So does the US Navy also need the Chinese team to train?!

Of course, this is just a misunderstanding. In the war era, not everyone could afford newspapers and accurately spread information. In this era, information dissemination methods were relatively backward, and it was common for the general public to exaggerate the results and image of the Chinese team, just like the extreme derogation of the Chinese team.

This situation has caused great headaches for the top leaders of the US Navy.

During a meeting, Nimitz sent such a newspaper to each of the admirals present, and then joked: "I'm sorry I didn't prepare coffee for you. Now it's time to read the newspaper!"

In fact, the navy generals have seen this news more than once.

"I don't think this is a mistake!" After a moment of silence, Nimitz said: "Because these newspapers praise the Chinese, and the Chinese are our ally. This is better than seeing the Japanese win battles in the newspaper, isn't it?"

"But..." After pausing, Nimitz changed his mind and said coldly: "Why aren't we Americans? Where is our powerful US Navy?"

As he said that, Nimitz deliberately searched the newspaper and searched for it: "I didn't see it? Oh... Maybe there is one, look, in this corner... the US Marine Corps suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy casualties in the landing battle of Kwajalin Island!"

"General!" Halsey replied: "There are reasons for these!"

"Of course, of course there are reasons!" Nimitz replied with a stern face: "I believe you have many reasons! But God... you are the US Navy, warships, fighter jets, cannons, tanks... are all weapons produced by our United States. You are more familiar with these equipment than the Chinese, and you are more well-trained, but they cannot defeat the Japanese in your hands, but they can do it in your hands! Even the equipment in your hands is much worse than what you use! So, I want to know what the reason is? Can anyone tell me why this is?!"

No one talks because no one knows why. Or someone knows, but they can't say it.

The reason for this is... Chinese troops have a stronger combat will and richer combat experience than the US Navy.
