Zhang Chi's training for seafarers is very simple, just for physical fitness and military discipline. After all, Zhang Chi also knows that whether the navy can shoot is not that important.

Other knowledge of radar, anti-submarine, and air defense have to wait until the US Navy’s warships and instructors come to let the US organize training... It is difficult for Zhang Chi to intervene in these aspects, because in addition to anti-aircraft guns or naval guns, Zhang Chi also knows nothing about other things and is not convenient to carry out training randomly.

The training effect should be said to have surprised Zhang Chi.

Originally, he thought that it would be difficult to meet the physical fitness standards set by the new group based on the quality of the crew... because it can be seen that a considerable number of the crew members are older and have long-term malnutrition and look very thin. This should be related to their domestic food.

Zhang Chi guessed right. He knew from Liu Guangzhong that the Navy was an army that was often defeated and was not valued or even used... It was not valued because Principal Jiang has always attached great importance to the aviation and the army and did not have much interest in developing the navy. It was not useful because shortly after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Navy even had no ships to open and no ports to use.

Therefore, for troops like the navy that do not have to go to the battlefield to fight, the supplies pulled out from the top can only barely starve them to death, that is, porridge twice a day and sometimes even once a day.

But in fact, the crew members no longer dared to make extravagant requests, because the domestic supplies were short of domestic resources, and the food for the army, which was fighting against the Japanese devils, was just a waste of food.

When Zhang Chi heard this, he felt as if something was stuffed in his heart... because he remembered that Xu Zhengkai was still complaining about the food on the table being not of high quality during the reception banquet. It was obvious that he must have not suffered such pain in China.

In other words, those warriors who fought desperately on the battlefield were still not full or warm in food, but they were still spending too much money like Xu Zhengkai.

But at least, the crew members don’t have to suffer this kind of suffering after they arrived at Rabaul. From the moment they stepped on Rabaul, to be precise, they had already begun to enjoy the amount of canned beef "American supplies" when they were still in Myanmar. This is also the reason why they were not surprised by the almost endless food when they arrived at Rabaul.

Twenty days later, the US Navy's warships and teaching groups arrived late.

The head of the teaching group was a colonel named White. After getting off the ship, he recognized Zhang Chi and walked to Zhang Chi, holding Zhang Chi's hand and said, "Sorry, Colonel! We have been clearing away the remaining enemies left by the Japanese on the island during this period, so we have been dragging it until now!"

It is not surprising that the US Navy recognizes Zhang Chi. As the actual commander of Guadalcanal, Zhang Chi's name had long been spread among the US Navy and even the aviation forces.

Zhang Chi nodded only. White's excuse was good, because with the fall of Rabaul, a large number of Japanese troops were trapped on the island around Rabaul because they lost Rabaul, and there were a large number of people, with tens of thousands or fewer than hundreds or thousands, and a total of about 70,000.

Of course, the Japanese army was also busy organizing rescue during this period.

But just like the dilemma in Guadalam, because Rabaul was occupied by the Sino-US coalition forces, and during the day, US fighter jets controlled the surrounding waters, the Japanese Navy could only send warships and submarines to rescue them at night.

This is actually because the US Navy is not prepared enough. If the US Navy is prepared enough, it can concentrate the superior number of warships to fight several beautiful encirclement and annihilation battles when the Japanese Navy launches a rescue operation.

If this is the case, the US military will take a considerable strategic initiative.

Because at this time the Japanese Navy will fall into an embarrassing situation. For this army with a population of up to 70,000, will the Japanese Navy rescue or not?!

Save! There is a very likely ambush set up by the US Navy along the way. Even if you reach the target island, when the warships and transport ships are rushing to rescue people, the US Navy may suddenly appear and launch an offensive. At that time, the Japanese Navy may suffer a devastating blow.

Don't save it! That's 70,000 Japanese Army. Not to mention that these troops are the backbone of island defense on the Pacific battlefield, just "not saving" will cause the navy to be under strong public pressure and accountability.

However, the US Navy obviously was not ready for this victory... They did not expect the Chinese team to capture Labaoer so smoothly, so they were caught off guard by this sudden victory, so they were repeatedly blinded by the Japanese army's fake actions and allowed the Japanese army to withdraw most of their troops.

It should be said that the Japanese army's fake moves were also very clever.

The first fake action was a telegram... At this time, the Japanese army knew that the US military could intercept and decipher their telegram, otherwise Iroku Yamamoto would not have been shot dead on the way to inspect.

But this was exploited by Koga Fengichi. He sent a telegram half-true and half-fake, saying that he would go to rescue the Japanese troops on Riga tonight and prepare for boarding the Japanese troops on Riga.

The US Navy believed it because it was very reasonable. Riga Island was closest to Japan's naval base, and the Japanese army on Riga Island did take action, so the US Navy sent warships to set up ambush near the waters of Riga Island. However, after waiting for a night, he did not see a Japanese warship. It was not until midnight that he received a telegram from New Georgia Island that the Japanese army had boarded a large number of ships to withdraw, and then suddenly realized that they were fooled.

But it was too late to rush to New Georgia Island at this time, and the US Navy could only watch the Japanese troops withdraw from New Georgia Island.

Then again, almost this method was used, even the location was the same, and the telegram was about Riga Island.

This time, the US Navy was killed and didn't believe it. They discovered through reconnaissance that it was true that the Japanese army, called Lauru Island, had taken action... The US Navy thought it had seen through the Japanese's tricks and laid the main force on Lauru Island, but the Japanese rescued Riga Island.

It can be said that the US Navy was fooled by the Japanese Navy.

However, in the final analysis, the US Navy is not prepared enough and the number of warships does not have an absolute advantage, which makes the US military unconfidence to fight a major battle with the Japanese Navy, especially at night.

"Col. White!" Zhang Chi looked at the six old warships parked at the port and asked: "Is this a warship for Chinese crew training?"

"Uh..." White replied awkwardly: "It can be said that. However, this is also the warship given to you by the US Navy!"

"What?" Zhang Chi looked at White in shock when he heard this: "You mean... using these warships and the 'Shock He' to form an aircraft carrier battle group?"

White spread his hands, which was considered to be a question about Zhang Chi's question.
