As a test of the training of the Fourth Division of the 6th War, it is a confrontation exercise between the two armies.

But in fact, this confrontation drill does not mean anything... because the casualties of the confrontation drill are based on the director team formed by the US military.

For example, when the US military launches artillery, the director team easily determines how many casualties the "Japanese army" is. Long live the "Japanese army" charges, and easily determines that the Japanese army cannot break through the US military's defense line, etc.

Perhaps the director team's judgments also have some basis. For example, there were many examples of the Japanese army's "Long Live Charge" in World War I. The result was that the charge troops collapsed due to large casualties... With the emergence of machine guns, the human sea tactics have been proven to be invalid tactics, but as the saying goes, "the road is one foot higher than the demon is one foot higher than the demon is one foot higher", advanced equipment does indeed suppress the human sea tactics, but in order to adapt to the battlefield exhibition, there have also been a series of changes.

For example, the Japanese army's "Long Live Charge" is often not just like the human sea tactics in World War I, just to break through the enemy's defense line, but to be able to twist with the enemy and make the advanced US equipment useless. It can even be said to be a suicide charge, which is essentially different from the "human sea tactics", and its operability has increased to a large extent.

The purpose of the "human sea tactic" is to break through the enemy's defense line, so it is often that people charge in large numbers to the machine gun positions organized by the enemy. This has no operability, only one tactic, line up and then rush forward, and the only thing that can be operated is to be denser or looser.

But if you can get stuck with the enemy... there are various methods, such as using the darkness, tunnels, disguise, or suddenly counterattack when the enemy attacks, which may achieve the goal.

Of course, the US military director team does not understand this.

Zhang Chi sometimes wondered, if the battle was as simple as the director team thought, then the battles of various islands on the Pacific battlefield would not be so difficult.

On the other hand, it is also because the exercise equipment of this era is not advanced enough... It can be said that it is an empty package bullet. When it is fired, it can be increased by a sound. As for whether the marksmanship is accurate, it cannot be reflected in the exercise. Most of them need to be inferred by the director team, and the inference of the director team naturally tends to be on the US side, and the director team has a very sufficient reason... The US military's equipment and firepower are many times higher than that of the Japanese army, so they can naturally gain the upper hand.

Therefore, Zhang Chi actually did not have much hope for the exercise. This confrontation was to allow the Chinese Expeditionary Force to have a deeper understanding of the Japanese tactics, and at the same time, it also allowed the Fourth Division of the 6th War to systematically express what was going on with the Japanese army.

There is nothing else.

Zhang Chi was also helpless in this regard. There is a saying that the training ground can never simulate a real battlefield, especially the training ground of this era... Modern exercises are equipped with various electronic equipment to accurately simulate who is hit and exited the battlefield.

Therefore, Zhang Chi also agreed with Halsey's approach, that is, let the Fourth Division of the 6th War of the United States participate in the Marshall Islands first. These sanctions are low-intensity wars. Although casualties are inevitable, they are the best training ground for the Fourth Division of the 6th War of the United States.

Major General Jack also had this idea at this time, and Major General Jack also had the intention to verify whether the training of Chinese troops was effective.

But he hesitated a little when he sent the troops to the battlefield.

"General!" Major General Jack asked Halsey on the phone: "Are we... let the Chinese participate in the operation with the troops?"

"What?" Halsey asked back, "Don't you know that we are doing this to get rid of our dependence on the Chinese troops?"

After pausing, Halsey asked again: "Danny, what's going on? Not long ago, you were even unwilling to receive training from the Chinese troops!"

"General!" Jack explained: "I don't know whether to call the Marshall Islands a combat or training, or both. As for the current situation, although we have learned a little about the Japanese tactics and response methods under the training of the Chinese troops, who can explain the battlefield clearly? In case of any sudden situation and we lack experience, I think it is a safer choice to have the participation of the Chinese troops. They can serve as advisors to our army, just as there are American advisors in their troops!"

Halsey was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. We need Chinese consultants. This will obviously do what we can reduce casualties and risks in combat. On the other hand, our commanders also need to learn how to command! As for foreign journalists... we can explain, just say that the Chinese understand the Japanese better, and we need Chinese consultants just from a tactical perspective!"

"That's what I think!" Jack replied.

Then Halsey was considering the candidate for the consultant... Most of them should be allowed to choose by the Chinese army! But this first battle... must have a good start, otherwise it will be difficult for future training to continue due to problems.

After thinking about it, Halsey called Zhang Chi.

"Colin!" Halsey said: "In a few days we will plan to put 185**** on the battlefield to carry out the operation to clear away the remaining enemies on the island. I wonder how you value this regiment?"

"General!" Zhang Chi said the truth: "It depends on actual combat test, I cannot easily draw conclusions!"

"Yeah!" Halsey of course knew that Zhang Chi was right, and this was not Halsey's focus.

"Since that's the case..." Halsey continued: "You know, this can be said to be the first battle since we officially implemented the training plan. I won't say much about the importance of this battle. I hope this can become a good example for subsequent troops training. For this reason, I hope that the Chinese troops can form an advisory group and continue to guide the regiment in the battle of the 185th Regiment. What does the colonel think of this idea?"

"I have no objection!" Zhang Chi replied.

This is also the case. Training is not something you can leave after training. You have to follow up for a period of time and point out the problem during the tracking process until it can fight independently.

"If possible..." Halsey said: "I hope you will be the leader of this advisory group. The colonel will not have any objections! I promise that it won't take long, and you can even fly back and forth between Rabaul and the Marshall Islands!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that this was Halsey's real purpose. (To be continued.)8
