One day and a half later, the New First Division and the Chinese Navy arrived at Kwajalin Island.

This time, returning to the island was naturally different from usual... The soldiers got off the boat and saw the middle-aged people waiting in an orderly formation on the shore. Seeing Zhang Chi and other officers and soldiers of the New First Division get off the boat, they shouted loudly in unison: "Welcome the New First Division to return triumphantly!"

Then a group of officers came to Zhang Chi. An officer walking in front of him had a scar on his face, which looked very handsome, but Zhang Chi guessed that he should be Li Huakun, the commander of the 50th Division... This does not mean that Zhang Chi knew him. When the New First Division and the 50th Division were in Myanmar, they fought in two different directions. Even when they arrived at the Pacific battlefield, they were in the direction of Olia and the other in the Pacific. Zhang Chi still knew the name Li Huakun from the document.

Sure enough, the officer saluted Zhang Chi and said excitedly and respectfully: "Report to the head of the division, I am Li Huakun, the commander of the 50th Division. Please take care of the head of the division!"

Zhang Chi couldn't help but be surprised... Although Zhang Chi did not understand some of the polite words and official words among the Kuomintang officers, he could hear that Li Huakun, a division commander who was on par with him, seemed to treat him as his superior.

Li Huakun seemed to see through Zhang Chi's thoughts, and before Zhang Chi could speak, he smiled and said, "Standard, don't say anything... When we were fighting in that end, Odalia, we listened to the news that our troops won the battle all the way, look..."

As he said that, Li Huakun looked at the warships and aircraft carriers behind Zhang Chi and others as if they were lit, and then said: "Not long ago, our army was only the commander of the army, and now we also have a navy and an air force... Our army will have such achievements, and we must be the division seat. Therefore, our 50th Division has nothing to say, and we firmly obey the command of the division seat and military seat!"

Then Li Huakun turned his head, asked the soldiers of the 50th Division behind him, and asked loudly: "Brothers, do you think so?"

"yes!"

"yes!"

...

The soldiers of the 50th Division shouted one after another, obviously the officers and soldiers of the 50th Division had already discussed it before.

Zhang Chi didn't refuse, nodded and agreed.

In fact, the expeditionary force at this time had encountered a bottleneck... that is, the mismatch between military ranks and military ranks.

For example, Zhang Chi was just a colonel at this time and his military position was only the commander of the New First Division. But in fact, the troops commanded by Zhang Chi almost included the sea and all the troops of the New Seventh Army, including the Air Force, were actually commanded by Zhang Chi. Wang Mazi, the commander, almost took charge of Rabaul's management of Rabaul's affairs.

According to Wang Mazi, it is: "Isn't it good to command the troops in the first division commander? He won battles one after another... Besides, the troops are both navy and air force now, and there are also landing operations that I can't control! I don't want to harm my brothers to defeat the war because of me!"

On the one hand, this can also be said to be Wang Mazi's trust in Zhang Chi, and on the other hand, it can also be said to be the reality of the battlefield... If you don't command the navy and air force and don't know how to cooperate, then commanding the troops is indeed inappropriate.

Therefore, if we were based on actual command, Zhang Chi would have been the commander of the army long ago.

But the problem is... the commander of the army must be appointed by Principal Jiang. Without Principal Jiang's appointment, he advocated being the commander of the army. The subtext is that he does not obey the central command, which means he wants to rebel.

It is obvious that the Expeditionary Force will not be able to get into the position of breaking up with Principal Jiang, so Zhang Chi can only keep on holding the military position of the division commander.

Originally, this would be a trouble, because Zhang Chi is the commander of the division and the commander of the 50th Division is also the commander of the division. So who should command whom in the battle?!

Zhang Chi thought about this problem, but he didn't take it too seriously, because at worst, just let Wang Mazi give him an authorization. But he didn't expect that this matter would not even be required to authorize it, and it would be solved as soon as he got off the ship.

"Teacher Li!" Zhang Chi said to Li Huakun: "We will rest for three days on Kwajialin Island. In the past few days, you must learn from the New Division. The battle on the island is different from the battle on the land. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Li Huakun thrust out.

"Dissolve!"

As soon as Zhang Chi's order was given, the soldiers of the 50th Division rushed up and hugged the soldiers of the New Division. Some of the soldiers were even so excited that they shed tears.

The sudden situation scared Zhang Chi a little, but after thinking about it, I felt that this was normal... This is in the Pacific Ocean, thousands of miles away from China. In such a distance, there are two troops fighting alone on the battlefield, without relatives or friends, and there are not even people who can speak a few Chinese words except the troops, but they have to face the battle of life and death on the battlefield at all times... This kind of loneliness and loneliness cannot be felt by outsiders.

At this time, they met a team of similar backgrounds and experiences on Kwajialin Island, especially many of them were fellow villagers and friends. How could they not be moved by this meeting?

The reason why Zhang Chi didn't feel this way was just because he was too focused on Liuhuang Island, which was about to attack soon. He couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

"Master!" Li Huakun handed a cigarette to Zhang Chi and said, "Thank you all the way!"

"Thank you too!" Zhang Chi walked slowly while looking at the soldiers beside him, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's not easy for anyone to get to where they are today!"

"Yes!" Li Huakun also nodded in sighing: "But now... the victory is right in front of you, right?"

There was a little temptation in Li Huakun's words.

Because he was not sure about this, he only learned from the US military adviser that if he captured Liuhuang Island, it would be not far from Japan, but at the same time he knew... The victory was not far away, and Zhang Chi should have seen more accurately, after all, he came all the way from the island.

Sure enough, Zhang Chi frowned and said, "Don't think too simple. The next goal may be more difficult than imagined! The road is still far..."

"Yes!" Li Huakun responded, but the hope and excitement in his eyes did not weaken much.

This is because Li Huakun believes in Zhang Chi and also believes in the New Division.

Perhaps Zhang Chi didn't know Li Huakun, but Li Huakun recognized Zhang Chi... Li Huakun was a leader next to Du Yuming when he was in Myanmar. Originally, Li Huakun wanted to follow Du Yuming into the Wild Man Mountain, but Zhang Chi pulled them back from the foot of the Wild Man Mountain.

Since then, Li Huakun has been paying attention to Zhang Chi, watching Zhang Chi miraculously overcome difficulties, and then to watch Zhang Chi step by step from a platoon leader to the present...
