"Kimura-kun!" After the Americans were defeated, Nakatani Kawakun went to the command center of Kimura-kun to congratulate him: "This time we can defeat the American ghost animals to block their attack, it depends entirely on Kimura-kun's defense!"

"Your Excellency Colonel!" Kimura Hiroji replied: "I am loyal to the Emperor and do my duty!"

Hiroji Kimura intentionally said that it was Nakatanikawakami's cooperation. You should know that if Hiroji Kimura had not provided artillery troops for him in time, Hiroji Kimura might not have been able to achieve such a great victory.

Nakatani Kawakami heard the meaning of this. Although he was a little unhappy, he had no choice but to deal with Hiroshi Kimura. After all, at this time, Kwajalin's defense had to rely on Hiroshi Kimura to a considerable extent.

In fact, this is also an extreme manifestation of the Japanese personality.

The Japanese emphasize obeying the orders of superiors, but once the authority of superiors is challenged, the subordinates who should have absolutely obeyed his orders will soon climb onto his head and try to replace him.

This is also one of the reasons why many Japanese officers often take tough measures to push the blame to their subordinates when making mistakes, such as Ryo Mudaguchi in history... After he made the mistake of attacking Impal, he died and refused to admit his account, but instead pushed the responsibility to his subordinates, saying that his subordinates were not attacking effectively.

The reason for this is very simple. Once Mutaguchi Ryokan admits his mistake, he will have a caesarean section and apologize at the worst, and at the least he will give up his official position... These are not something Mutaguchi Ryokan can bear, so he chose to hold on.

Now Nakatani Kawakami is also facing such a problem. His prestige cannot suppress his subordinate Hiroshi Kimura, so he is in an embarrassing situation.

"Then..." After pausing, Nakatani Kawakami changed the subject and asked: "Kimura Jun thinks... what will American ghost animals attack next?"

If this sentence is for Chinese people or American people, it is normal. The superiors ask their subordinates for their opinions.

But it is abnormal among Japanese soldiers... Japanese soldiers believe that as superiors, they should be able to plan and then issue commanders to subordinates, and what subordinates have to do is obey orders.

Therefore, superiors usually tell their subordinates that this is wrong and that is not good. If they want to do this, even if they clearly agree with their subordinates, they have to find some faults and teach their subordinates a lesson. Otherwise, their subordinates will think: "It seems that this commander is not very good! They will do it according to my suggestions, so can I replace him?"

So Nakatani Kawakami's words instantly made Kimura look down on this superior even more.

"Colonel!" Kimura raised his head and replied arrogantly: "If it was not unexpected... I think the next step of the American ghost beast will choose to attack from the front after this failure!"

"Attack from the front?" Nakatanikawakami was shocked when he heard this.

"Yes!" Kimura nodded and said, "They must have realized that entering the lagoon attack is not conducive to the deployment of troops, and once we block the entrance of the lagoon with artillery fire... they will lose their strength! Then they will have to attack from the front!"

"So that's how it is!" Nakatanikawa nodded: "Then... they will definitely choose to attack in the early morning!"

Kimura was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that his superior was not completely a fool.

"Yes!" Kimura replied: "Just like their attacks on Voje Atoll and Maloerap Atoll, the attack in the early morning will not be stranded. And..."

Speaking of this, Kimura paused for a while. He hesitated whether to tell Nakatani, because letting Nakatani defeat a battle was exactly what Kimura wanted, but the problem was... If Nakatani defeated the battle, Kimura's troops would also be attacked from both sides.

So Kimura said helplessly: "The information obtained from the other two battlefields was that the Americans used a new type of ship, which would quickly transport a large number of tanks. Our army's defense line in both the Waj Atoll and the Maloerap Atoll quickly collapsed under this situation! I think Colonel should think about how to deal with it!"

"So that's how it is!" Nakatanikawa nodded.

Although Tanikawakawa's surface is calm, in fact, he is already in a state of great trouble... he can quickly transport a large number of tanks!!

He had indeed heard of this, but he had never thought that he would face it. At this time, when Kimura reminded him, he felt that Kimura was right... Woje Atoll and Maloerap Atoll are basically under the control of the US military, which means that ships no longer need to land on tanks in those two directions, so these ships that can quickly transport tanks on the shore will naturally be transferred to the direction of Kwajalin Atoll.

You should know that it is the "Sheerman" tank, the "Sheerman" tank that the Japanese army called the "harvester"... Nakatanikawakami had long heard of the horror of this kind of tank from others, but he didn't expect that now he and his troops have to face it in person.

So Nakatani Kawakami did not dare to neglect it. After returning to the command center, he immediately reported the situation to Koga Feng.

Koga Fengichi actually got relevant information, so he also agreed with Nakatani's inference.

If it were elsewhere, Koga Fengichi might have ignored it. After all, this is the last force of the Japanese army in the Marshall Islands. But this is Kwajalin Atoll...

Koga Fengichi couldn't help but sighed.

"Your Excellency General." Seeing this, Staff Ito asked, "Do you want to send an air force to fight?"

"We have no choice!" Koga Feng nodded and replied: "The 'z' plan...is to require several consecutive airports as bases. Only in this way can we avoid the important and light. The Kwajalin Atoll is located in the center of the remaining airports. Once Kwajalin is lost... our airport will be divided into several parts and will no longer be able to move. We can only stay in place and wait for the Americans to bombard it!"

Consultant Ito nodded and said with a serious expression: "So... the time for the decisive battle is here!"

Japanese soldiers always have the concept of "decisive battle", but sometimes this "decisive battle" does not refer to a real decisive battle, but a critical moment.

Yamada Moino also agreed with Koga Fengichi's point of view, so all Japanese fighter jets were ready.

Yamada Moyuki was very confident in this battle because he believed that Japan had unexpected advantages over the US military, and he could even determine the target, that is, the time when the US landing ship appeared... because the US military must land in the early morning, otherwise the water level would be unfavorable to the landing.
