Everyone knows what that means.

Just like the battle on Guadalcanal Island, the US Navy was once forced out of the Guadal Island waters by the Japanese Navy. As a result, the supply of the Sino-US coalition forces that had landed on Guadal Island was cut off and there was no way to escape. If the Sino-US coalition forces had not resisted the Japanese attack, they would have been surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army long ago.

At this time, the situation facing the Chinese team is even more serious than that of Guadalam... The Chinese team landed on the island with only more than 3,000 troops, while the Japanese army had more than 20,000 people. Once the Chinese Navy was forced back by the Japanese fleet, the Chinese team's regiment would face the 20,000 Japanese troops alone with the help of firepower from the naval guns and fighter jets, and would even be bombed from behind by Japanese naval guns and fighter jets. This was simply fatal to the Second Regiment.

"Or... let's withdraw our troops!" said a fellow villager: "The situation is too dangerous now. Let's take a breath and fight again!"

"Why do you say that?" the third regiment commander opposed: "If you can't defeat, withdraw your troops... Then what if you can't defeat the next time?"

"Just... just go back like that, won't the Americans look down on us?"

"This is not a problem!" The fellow villager opposed: "This is related to the survival of the Second Regiment. It is currently impossible to attack from either direction, and the Japanese fleet is coming again..."

"Our Second Regiment can hold on!" Wu Yuhang replied in a muffled voice: "I don't agree to withdraw the troops!"

So the audience started fighting with you and I.

In fact, the suggestions of fellow villagers are still rational. Because judging from the current situation on the Pacific battlefield, the Japanese army is at the end of their strength, and the situation of the Japanese army will get worse and worse after a while. At least they may not be able to split a fleet to reinforce Iwo Jima, so there is no need to rush for a while.

But the problem is...

Zhang Chi sighed and said, "I just got news from the country that the Japanese army assembled five divisions and three brigades. Another pilot division had a total force of 150,000 people. He went south along the Pinghan Railway. At this time, Xinzheng, Weishi, Sishui, and Mixian had already captured Xinzheng, Weishi, Sishui, and Mixian... This was just the first wave of offensive of the Japanese army. If it was allowed to develop, the Japanese army would divide China from south to north into two, which would be very unfavorable to the domestic war situation. And although we are only a unit with only tens of thousands of people, it may threaten the Japanese mainland and disrupt the Japanese army's overall plan. So... do you still think we should retreat?!"

"But the teacher!" said a fellow villager in embarrassment: "There is a saying, 'Stay away the green mountains, don't be afraid of burning firewood'. In this situation..."

"We have another chance!" Zhang Chi raised his hand and interrupted his fellow villagers, saying: "All the problems now come down to one point, that is, whether the Americans' Hellcat fighter can enter. Everyone knows that this fighter can easily suppress the Japanese army's zero war and seize air supremacy. After seizing air supremacy, our bombers can seize sea supremacy. So even if the Japanese fleet coming to aid is stronger than us, we are fully capable of defeating it!"

"But it's not said..." Staff Liang said hesitantly: "Can the US Hellcat fighter jets not be able to enter the Pinghai for the time being?"

"It's true that you can't get into the 'Pinghai'!" Zhang Chi pointed to Airport No. 1 on Iwo Jima and said, "But... you can get into the airport!"

Zhang Chi's words immediately caused an uproar among the officers.

"Teacher seat!" said Staff Liang: "The airport is controlled by Japanese anti-aircraft guns from two directions. How can the fighter planes enter?"

"Then take down the high ground on both wings of the airport!" Zhang Chi replied without thinking.

Zhang Chi's words surprised the officers and they all widened their eyes and couldn't speak.

After a long time, the fellow villager said: "What the master means is... to take down Zhebo Mountain and 382 Heights within three days? Is this... possible?"

You should know that these highlands are not ordinary highlands, but highlands with tunnels that were almost hollowed out by the Japanese. This would take them down within three days... It really made the officers unimaginable.

After pausing, Zhang Chi said, "We can attack!"

"Sneak attack?" Hearing this, the officers couldn't help looking at each other.

You must know that Iwo Jima is the territory of the Japanese, and the Japanese are still at a high place and the Expeditionary Force is at a low place. You can be discovered by the Japanese if you move at will... What kind of sneak attack method is this?!

"Sneaking attacks are divided into two aspects!" Zhang Chi said: "The first aspect... is night battle!"

"Night battle?!" The officers couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

Night battles are good at the Japanese army, but now Zhang Chi wants to fight night battles...

Some officers even wondered whether the division was rushing to save the situation in China.

But Zhang Chi knew what he was doing. He looked at the expressions on the officers' faces with satisfaction and said, "When you talk about night wars, you can imagine... the Japanese would never have thought that we would take the initiative to attack at night!"

The officers were stunned, and then Staff Liang nodded and said, "The teacher is right, this is unexpected... The Japanese always thought that the night is their world, and only they attack us, who would have thought that we are attacking them now?!"

"And..." Zhang Chi continued: "From the battle between the Second Regiment and the Japanese, our ability to fight night battles is actually not worse than that of the Japanese... All we lack is confidence, the confidence to dare to fight against the Japanese at night!"

The officers couldn't help but nodded. The officers' experience of this was deeper than Zhang Chi, because before the Expeditionary Force was equipped with American equipment... the Chinese team was weaker than the Japanese army. In this case, if the Chinese team wanted to defeat the Japanese army, they often had to seek opportunities to fight night battles with the Japanese army and close combat... Of course, due to their quality and stunning competition, the Chinese team often couldn't get good at night battles and close combat, but it was better than being bombarded by Japanese long-distance aircraft, cannons, and tanks.

In other words, in the past, many Chinese teams dared to face the Japanese army and fight head-on with the enemy. However, since they equipped American equipment... Chinese teams have become less and less likely to fight nightly with the Japanese army and become more and more afraid of fighting in close combat.

There are objective reasons for this and subjective reasons.

The objective reason is that the American tactics and equipment improvement advocated by American instructors led to the reversal of enemy and us equipment... The Expeditionary Force's equipment exceeded the Japanese army in an all-round way, and could suppress and defeat the Japanese army at a long distance, and win at a very small cost of casualties. Of course, there is no need for close combat.
