Chapter 229 Hospital Ship

The "interrogation" of the US Navy has little to do with the Chinese team.

Zhang Chi didn't care about this. Anyway, whether the US military's combat effectiveness is strong or weak, can learn from the lessons and not much benefit from the Chinese team. If there is any benefit, it is that the US military's combat effectiveness may make the expeditionary force less pressure.

The Expeditionary Force evacuated Bito Island on the third day.

The sequence of withdrawal from Bito Island was the 2nd US Marine Regiment, and then the New Expeditionary Force Regiment was understandable to Zhang Chi, because at this time, the soldiers of the 2nd US Marine Regiment were all defeated like a tight clockwork suddenly relaxed, making them unable to stay on the island for an extra minute. So of course, they left first and let the Expeditionary Force troops cover behind.

But to be honest, there is nothing to cover at this time. As we all know, the Japanese are not able to launch a counterattack in this situation unless they can defeat more than 20 aircraft carriers of the US military.

Then, the 2nd Marine Regiment of the US Army was quickly taken back to Hawaii for vacation. This is the tradition of the US military. Once an army has fought on the front line for a long time or suffered heavy casualties, it will be quickly pulled to the rear to rest after retreating from the front line.

Of course, the "rest" mentioned here is not what the Chinese troops call "rest".

The rest of the Chinese troops is training and adjustment to restore vitality or morale, while the rest of the US troops is sunshine, wine, women and various carnivals, and even psychologists do psychological tests or treatments for them.

This shows the US military's large-scale investment and investment in military expenditure.

It is said that there was also a debate on the US military generals at this time.

"General!" Halsey reported to Nimitz: "Although I know this suggestion is not very reasonable, as far as I know, the Chinese team has not received the due holidays since they came to the Pacific battlefield. They have even made many achievements in the battles of Guadalcanal, Rabaul and Tarawa. If they continue to fight like this, I am worried that they will feel war-weary."

Nimitz was stunned when he heard this: "But General Halsey, almost all of our military bases are set up for the US team. It is probably not suitable for the Chinese team to go there!"

What Nimitz said is not without reason. Everyone knows the deeper reasons. The so-called vacation in the US military is actually a considerable part of it to indulge American soldiers. A large part of it is to pick up girls. Although the performance of the American soldiers on the battlefield is not very good, they are naturally good at picking up girls, but Chinese soldiers are not like this. Even the Chinese team strictly prohibits women.

Therefore, it is basically meaningless to send Chinese soldiers back for American-style "rest and rest".

"I have to remind you, General Halsey!" Major General Hill interrupted: "The Chinese team is a little different from our army. In fact, they have not rested since they went abroad to send troops to Myanmar a year ago, and now there are no signs of war-weariness or morale depressed in the Chinese team."

The reason why Major General Hill knew about this was because he was surprised by the performance of the Zhongxun team after the Battle of Tarawa, so he carefully checked the origin and history of the Zhongxun team. After checking, he realized that the Zhongxun team, which he did not take seriously at all, had so many impressive records.

Upon hearing this, Halsey couldn't help but nodded. He also heard a lot about the situation in this regard of the Chinese team, so he knew that what Nimitz and Hill were saying was the truth.

"That's it!" Halsey said after thinking about it: "At least we can provide them with more comprehensive medical care and richer food!"

Upon hearing this, the naval generals couldn't help but nod.

Nimitz replied: "Of course, this is what they deserve!"

So not long after, a medical ship converted from a giant tanker quickly arrived in Rabaul.

This medical ship is said to be a medical ship, but it is more like a "vacation boat" for Chinese soldiers, because there are more than 500 beds on it. Although these beds are narrow, they are clean, comfortable and air conditioned. More importantly, there are beautiful nurses asking about their well-being every day. Compared to the environment where Labaul is hot and humid and full of mosquitoes and insects, it is many times better.

Unfortunately, there are only more than 500 beds.

In terms of food, the Chinese team finally got the rice they had always dreamed of, and this is not pretending to be poor.

The reason is that the Chinese team is accustomed to eating rice, while the US and British troops are accustomed to eating bread and other things. Therefore, although under American supplies, they do not have to worry about food and clothing, and they still eat various canned beef, but the rice and vegetables are not provided, which is usually only occasionally available to officers.

It's different now. Tens of thousands of tons of rice were transported ashore one after another, which made the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force cheer after another. The fragrance of rice floating in the cafeteria always welcomes a lot of people to queue up in advance, and the rice was always stolen.

After "Zhang", Halsey called Zhang Chi: "If you have any requirements or anything you don't like, even if you have any burden, we will try our best to meet your requirements! For example, knowing that the Chinese team has the habit of eating rice, we specially purchased 30,000 tons of rice and fresh vegetables from Odalia at a high price!"

"Thank you, General!" Zhang Chi replied: "We are very satisfied!"

"That's good!" Halsey replied: "Let the soldiers rest for a while and prepare for the next battle! I believe that you will play an unusual role no matter when!"

"Yes, General!"

After putting down the phone, a sense of pride suddenly rose in Zhang Chi's heart. Of course, Zhang Chi knew that this was not because of friendship or allies.

The relationship between countries is always a benefit. There is only one reason why the US team attaches great importance to the China Team so much: that is, the China Team can bring huge benefits to the United States, and this benefit is its combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

Therefore, everything the Chinese team has obtained now, including the respect of the US military, is actually made by the Expeditionary Army soldiers with their blood and their lives.

Zhang Chi walked out of the command center and looked at the expeditionary soldiers who were training outside, warships sailing at sea and fighter planes flying by the sky. He couldn't help but sigh: I thought I was just trying to save a few more people at the beginning, but I never thought that I would have come to this point today!
