When b29 launched intensive bombing on Iwo Jima, the Second Regiment and Third Regiment of the New First Division were ready for the attack.

As usual, the preparations were made were to put the Higgins ship, amphibious landing vehicles, Donald Duck and other equipment down the sea, and the soldiers then climbed down from the net rope along the ship to assemble on various landing ships.

This is also the troublesome place for landing operations during World War II... It takes a lot of time to hang so many ships down from the ship. Then, after each unit climbs from the net rope to the ship, it is necessary to pay attention to not disrupting the system. For example, a squad stipulates that a landing ship is used or amphibious boarding is used, but when boarding, it is inevitable that several wrong ships are difficult to replace. Because the weapons and equipment in a squad are often planned... There are several submachine guns, several flamethrowers, and several grenade launchers, so if there is chaos, it will not only affect cooperation but also may affect firepower.

In recent times, the modern solution is to use a dock landing ship. This thing is in a semi-draft state. When fighting, as long as the rear hatch door is opened... Amphibious landing tanks, landing crafts, etc. can directly drive from the hull to the sea to attack the target.

Needless to mention its advantages, it is both fast and able to ensure the establishment of the troops.

However, this is not a problem for the new first division. They have been proficient in training and have participated in several practical battles, so they are already familiar with it at this time.

This is also the reason why Zhang Chi first used the two regiments of the New First Division... The 50th Division had never participated in the landing operation, and it is said that some of them would even be seasick, so it is obviously inappropriate to send them to participate in the first landing. Only when the New First Division has gained a foothold in Iwo Jima and then let the 50th Division go up to fight land wars or tough battles can they play a better role.

However, Zhang Chi did not seem to have a firm foothold on Iwo Jima at this time.

Zhang Chi looked at the watch and ordered: "Order, the Second Regiment will implement landing, and the Third Regiment will be the reserve team!"

When Staff Liang heard this, he was so surprised that his chin was about to fall off. He looked at Zhang Chi in confusion and said, "Teacher... There are more than 10,000 Japanese on this island. We only send a group of more than 3,000 people up... Wouldn't it be too dangerous?"

(Note: According to the initial reconnaissance and estimates of the US military, it was believed that the Japanese troops in Iwo Jima had only 13,000, but in fact there were more than 20,000)

Zhang Chi understood the meaning of Staff Liang. The taboo thing about landing wars is that they cannot gain a foothold on the landing target and are repelled by the enemy... You should know that behind the landing troops is the sea, and when they are broken through by the enemy, there is no time to escape by ship, so it is very likely that it will cause large-scale chaos and be massacred by the enemy.

But this did not change Zhang Chi's thoughts. He held up his telescope and looked in the direction of Iwo Jima, although Iwo Jima was being blown into smoke and fire by the bomb dropped by the US military b29 at this time.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi said to Staff Liang: "Give me a second regiment commander!"

"yes!"

Soon, the communications soldier handed the walkie-talkie to Zhang Chi.

"Second Commander!" Zhang Chi said to the microphone: "I plan to let your team play the main attacker. Do you have confidence?"

"Have confidence!" Wu Yuhang replied without thinking.

"But your main task is not attack, but defense and temptation!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuhang couldn't help but be stunned: "Defense and temptation?"

This is different from traditional landing wars. In the past, the troops attacked as deep as possible after landing, and expanded the space as much as possible. Only in this way can the subsequent troops continuously land troops and equipment on the island and develop combat effectiveness.

However, now Zhang Chi lets it defend and test on the island?!

"Yes!" Zhang Chi emphasized: "Don't rush forward after landing on the island. Pay attention to maintaining contact and coordination with warships, and guide the naval guns to organize defenses in front of the defense line. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

So, the offensive of the Second Regiment soon unfolded under the cover of warships and fighter jets. Hundreds of landing vehicles of various types, and the landing craft were drew white lines on the sea, heading towards Iwo Jima, carrying soldiers full of armed wolves and tigers. Each of them had a sense of hatred and murderous aura on their faces, giving people a feeling of being arrogant without anger...

This is the difference between Chinese soldiers and American soldiers. If the US soldiers are here, even if the Marine Corps who have fought several battles, they will inevitably have some nervous vomiting or their faces turned pale.

But the Chinese soldiers... the wars again and again made them seem to have become accustomed to this kind of occasion, and now they have a nearly numb calmness.

However, Staff Liang, Liu Guangzhong and others, including Zhang Junhua, were all nervous on their faces.

There is nothing else to be the reason for the nervousness... As Staff Liang thought, there are too few troops landing, and it is easy to cause problems when fighting like this.

Liu Guangzhong and others even gave General Liang a face one after another, meaning that General Liang would persuade Zhang Chi again, and General Liang also looked helpless... Zhang Chi made up his mind and gave orders, even ten horses could not be pulled back!

Zhang Chi felt the little movements of the few people around him, so he turned around and asked, "What? Do you think there is something wrong? Even if you say..."

This can be said to be the most imperfect battle, or even a flaw... Because there is too little intelligence and the combat plan is too simple, even which unit launched an attack was decided just now.

Therefore, many people do not understand that Zhang Chi’s intention is normal.

"Teacher!" Zhang Junhua replied: "We still think... there are too few troops in a regiment..."

"Do you think the Japanese army will have a large-scale counterattack?" Zhang Chi said: "This is what you are worried about, right! I am worried that the Second Regiment will collapse under the large-scale counterattack of the Japanese army, fall into a desperate situation, and then suffer large-scale casualties... I'm right!"

"Yes!" Zhang Junhua felt half of his heart when he heard Zhang Chi say this. Because if Zhang Chi considers it, it means that Zhang Chi has a plan.

"Don't worry!" Zhang Chi replied: "The Japanese won't do this!"

"this……"

Zhang Chi raised his head to the guard beside him, and the guard cleverly brought two shell boxes and folded them up and unfolded the map on it.

"Look at the map!" Zhang Chi pointed to the map and said, "The south of Iwo Jima is Zhebo Mountain and the north of Yuan Mountain. The middle area is relatively empty and there are three airports (Note: Airport No. 1 has been completed, Airport No. 2, and Airport No. 3 has not been completed). Then... compare the battle on Pelelliu Island we just fought, and think about what the Japanese army would do!"
