"By the way, the US military's current plan Schmidt reported to me that one of the main attack points of the US military is Makin Atoll. They have fought with the Japanese army on the island last year!"

"The goal of the US military seems to be to divert the attention of the Japanese army again, attract some of the Japanese supply forces, and destroy the auxiliary seaplane base established by the Japanese army on Butaritari, the main island of Makin Atoll!"

"When you are diplomatic about this matter, please tell them, otherwise the battle of Majin Atoll would not be fierce enough! I like to watch them fight the most desperately and with the most exciting battle!"

"It's a pity that I can't arrive at the scene to see it, it would be very exciting!"

When Chen Yanlong made a big talk, he suddenly changed his subject and then changed the subject.

"Yes! My Head!"

Faced with such a sudden change of topic, Minister Ribbintrov was slightly stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded and agreed.

"Okay! Go down! Have a good rest and then communicate with the Japanese army! I look forward to their ability to have a wonderful and fierce battle with the US army in the Battle of Makin Atoll and the Battle of Gilbert Islands!"

Finally, Chen Yanlong waved his hand and gave Dada order.

"Yes! My Head!"

Minister Ribbintrov nodded respectfully and turned away.

And at this time, inside the commander of the Gilbert Islands.

Rear Admiral Shibazaki, who was about 50, was also looking at various construction reports on the island with unwillingness, while waiting for the arrival of his fellow countryman Hidera Kagawa, a reporter from his fellow countryman (Yomiuri Shimbun).

This person was riding the "Shuramaru" cargo ship, rushing thousands of miles from Japan to prepare for an interview with Rear Admiral Keiji Shibasaki.

During this period, Rear Admiral Shibazaki Keiji was in his command center, looking upset at the combat command map and reports on the progress of the project.

In fact, what he wants most now is not to serve as the commander of the third special base, responsible for the defense of the Gilbert Islands.

The position he envies and wants the most now is to be able to command the fleet in the blue sea like Kondo Nobutake and Keno Kurita, majestic defeat of the US fleet, and achieve his achievements. He has always wanted to become a naval commander who is as famous as Yamamoto Iroku.

But fate seemed to be messing with him. The Japanese Navy Joint Fleet Command arranged for him to continue commanding the fleet to fight, and also allowed him to serve as the commander of the army, and was about to be dispatched to Tawa Atoll to defend against US attacks.

But even so, for him who was determined to make achievements and climb upwards, he was appreciated by Minister Nagano Military Order; he also agreed happily, and he also vowed in front of the other side that he would protect the Tawa Atoll well and would never allow the US military to step into this coral reef.

Minister Nagano Army, who had never paid much attention to this, nodded with satisfaction and praised the other party.

It’s a pity that the appreciation is all the praise; but the troops that Nagano Army Order Minister gave to Rear Admiral Eji Shibasaki to fight in Tawa Atoll were only the 6th Special Marines of Yokosuka of Colonel Matsuo; and the 7th Special Marines of Takeo Nakasasa of Kotoi; and the 2nd Special Marines of Yokosuka of Tanshima, with a total force of about 3,000.

In response, Rear Admiral Shibazaki Eji suffered a lot, so he was unwilling to accept it and immediately begged Minister Nagano Army to send more troops to defend him.

After he was so upset and was scolded by the Minister of the Nagano Army, who was very annoyed, he was given a big scolding from the 111th Construction Team and 1,000 officers and soldiers from the 4th Fleet Engineering Team to build defense projects on the island while assisting his troops in combat against possible landing operations of the US military.

But even so, the Nagano Army ordered the Minister to give Rear Admiral Keiji Shibazaki a small number of heavy weapons and equipment.

In general, Rear Admiral Shibazaki Eji built heavy weapons and equipment that could be deployed on the island, with only 5 8-inch shore defense cannons.

There are only 40 remaining mountain guns, howitzers, high-level dual-purpose guns, and field guns.

Moreover, the ammunition of these artillery is very limited. Once it is exhausted, it will have to wait for replenishment before it can be used for combat.

As for anti-aircraft machine guns, there are a total of 38, including 6 twin-aircraft machine guns.

In response to this, Rear Admiral Shibazaki Eji, who was very bitter in his heart, was still thinking about how to maximize all the resources he had at hand and contributed.

At least he tried every officer, soldier, and equipment to where he felt the most suitable place to kill the enemy.

In addition, he also asked the engineering team and construction team to build seawalls, a large number of artillery bunkers, as well as defensive fortifications such as trenches, and in these fortifications, there were also a large number of shooting holes and underground passages. Finally, he asked the troops to deploy mines and obstacle areas on the beaches and shallow waters to prevent the US landing craft from landing.

Of course, in addition to these defensive fortifications, Rear Admiral Shibazaki Meji also attached great importance to the air defense communication station he established on the island.

There are also 2 radio generators and 4 receivers installed inside.

In addition, 6 short-wave transmission stations were established again and 2 long-wave transmission stations were used to communicate with the outside world, especially to conduct timely communication and contact with the Japanese fleet in the nearby areas, and to report on the situation.

"Damn it! Why is my fate so bad? How can my fate be obtained like those officers with background and family background, and they can obtain the naval position they have always dreamed of, and command the fleet and the US fleet to fight!"

When Rear Admiral Shibasaki Eji read the full project progress report in front of him, he muttered depressedly.

"Why are those beautiful troops coming to attack us soon? I'm still waiting to defeat them to make achievements! No matter what, I must find a way to become a fleet commander, and I will definitely be able to save such mediocre people for the rest of my life!"

Then Rear Admiral Shibazaki Eji suddenly had a sharp look and decided to say.

"Report! Master General! Our reconnaissance plane discovered that a US military aircraft came to our Tawa Atoll and requested a combat demonstration!"

At this moment, a combat staff member hurriedly came to him to report.

"Carry air defense operations immediately, and all officers and soldiers immediately enter the air raid shelter and bunker!"

"Damn these damn US troops have been attacking us for almost a week. If they control air supremacy in this way, then we will be in trouble!"
