In Rupertes's command, Zhang Chi changed into a clean and dry American military uniform... It's funny to say that after working with the US military for so long, it is the first time Zhang Chi has worn American military uniforms.

Then Ruperts was very understanding and brought Zhang Chi a cup of hot coffee and a plate of biscuits.

"Col. I heard you didn't stop all the way. I think you must be hungry!"

"Thank you!" Zhang Chi was a little surprised because he heard from the beginning that Rupertes had a weird temper, so he was mentally prepared early in the morning, but unexpectedly the fact was unexpected.

In fact, it was not only Zhang Chi who was surprised, but even the staff and the correspondents around him found it strange... They had never seen anyone who was so polite to him.

Rupertes knew the reason himself. He didn't want the soldiers of the First Land Division to continue to suffer casualties on the island of Perelieru, which reminded him of his lost family... And the Chinese, who is not astonishingly beautiful, will probably help him end all this.

Zhang Chi didn't say too many polite words. When he was eating food, he stared at the combat map on the table and asked, "So, what is the difficulty?"

Rupertes nodded secretly. This is the real soldier... They have extraordinary enthusiasm for war, or it can be said to be passionate, which makes them unwilling to waste any time on other things.

"The difficulty lies here!" Rupertes pointed to Mount Umebrugg on the map and said, "The environment of this mountain is very complex, with natural coral caves everywhere, which can become an excellent hiding place for the Japanese army. The Japanese built this mountain into a line of defense by blasting and building reinforced concrete bunkers. They even built a well-connected tunnel on the mountain... At one point we occupied a certain high ground on it, but at night they were always recaptured by the enemies they crawled out of the tunnel!"

"Can the airport be used?" Zhang Chi asked.

"It can be used barely, but it's very dangerous!" Ruperst replied: "The Japanese built cannon bunkers on the mountain. They had single- and double-barrel anti-aircraft artillery, several large-caliber coastal defense cannons, as well as machine guns and 20mm machine cannons... This allowed them to effectively control the airport!"

Zhang Chi nodded.

He knew what the Japanese weapons and equipment were going on... Most of them were air defense firepower. It was obvious that the Japanese army completely gave up air defense from the beginning, and moved the air defense firepower with a small caliber, fast and convenient speed of fire to the authentic fortifications to suppress the US military. Among them, the 20mm machine guns were even machine guns used on Japanese fighter jets. In other words, the Japanese army even removed all the machine guns on the fighter jets and "uses waste".

"I need to go and see it myself!" said Zhang Chi.

"What?" Rupertes was stunned when he heard this.

Looking at Rupertes' expression, Zhang Chi asked strangely: "General, have you not been to the island to take a look?"

"Uh...yes, we haven't been here!" Rupertes replied awkwardly.

A staff officer interrupted: "Col. We can also get all the information we want to know here! I don't think we need to go to the battlefield in person, after all, it's not safe there!"

"Is that true?" Zhang Chi smiled and flipped through a bunch of photos on the desktop: "Do you really think that you can fully understand the situation on the battlefield with just these photos? Sorry... I don't think so!"

So more than half an hour later, Zhang Chi and Rupertes boarded the Pellio Island on an amphibious landing car... At this time, Zhang Chi even felt that what the staff officer was right, because even at sea, there were still several shells around from time to time blowing up waves. If a stray bullet killed Rupertes, it would be the biggest victory for the Japanese army... You must know that Rupertes is a major general.

But on the other hand, this is war, isn’t it?!

Before Zhang Chi and others could walk far in the traffic trench, a US military officer wearing a steel helmet chased him from behind and punched Zhang Chi on the shoulder and laughed: "God, it's really you!"

"Clifton!" Zhang Chi recognized that he was the commander of the Land War 1 regiment who had fought side by side in Guado.

"Come with me!" Clifton said with a smile: "This is not a place to reminisce about the past!"

Then Clifton said coldly to Ruperts: "General, sorry, I can't salute you because there are Japanese snipers everywhere!"

When passing by Zhang Chi, Clifton gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "Actually, I really want to salute him!"

Zhang Chi found it a little funny, but he really couldn't laugh.

Because he knew that the reason why Clifton hated Rupertes so much was definitely because the Land War Regiment had too many casualties...

Sure enough, along the way, Zhang Chi saw wounded US military soldiers everywhere, with broken hands and feet, blindfolded eyes with bandages, and some of them had obviously become corpses. The air was filled with the smell of blood and burnt smell, and the soldiers' eyes were dead, just like they had no idea where they were after taking drugs.

At this time, someone among the US soldiers suddenly recognized Zhang Chi... After all, Zhang Chi had fought with them on Guadalam, and a considerable number of US soldiers remembered Zhang Chi's appearance.

"Look, it's that Chinese!" A wounded US military officer looked at Zhang Chi and exclaimed: "The Chinese division commander who defeated the Japanese in Guadalone!"

"God! It's really Him!"

"Col. Are you bringing Chinese troops to reinforce us?"

"Great! We're saved!"

“Thank God!”

...

Some American soldiers even shed tears in mixed feelings.

Zhang Chi did not think this was a coward. On the contrary, Zhang Chi thought that these American soldiers were very brave... They would have such a performance because the battlefield was beyond their ability to bear. If it were other US troops, they would have been quitting. In extreme cases, it was possible to point the gun at the commander who did not allow them to retreat, such as the so-called "raiders" special forces.

But the 1st Land War Regiment was not the case. Although they knew there were command problems... Rupertes insisted on not letting the 81st Infantry Division, who was the reserve, replace them, which kept them under great pressure and casualties on the front line, but they remained at their posts.

"Don't worry!" Zhang Chi said to the US soldiers: "The Chinese troops will arrive soon. All you have to do is persevere for another one to two days!"

There was a burst of cheers on the battlefield.

This scene made Rupertes a little embarrassed because he, the major general and the division commander, was far less popular than Zhang Chi, a Chinese colonel.
