my bright sword career

Looking at the dense forest in front of him, which looked like a monster with a bloody mouth, Thomas shuddered all over, and couldn't help saying:
"Chi...I don't understand why you came to this place. You must know that this is a place where Japanese monkeys are active. I don't want to be smashed in the head by bullets coming out of nowhere."

Chi Yaohui said without turning his head, "What, are you scared?"

"Nonsense, of course I'm afraid." Thomas said angrily, "I have a wife and two daughters at home, and they all expect me to return home safely. I don't want to die fighting in this damn jungle."

Chi Yaohui ignored him, but carefully observed the dense forest in front of him with his binoculars, as if he could see a flower.

After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to a raised mountain range more than 2000 meters ahead on the left and said, "Colonel Thomas, have you seen that mountain?"

"I see." Thomas nodded: "That mountain is called Mount Tululu, and it is the highest point in the vicinity with a radius of tens of kilometers. Whoever can occupy that mountain and put up a cannon will be able to..."

Speaking of this, Thomas suddenly turned his head to look at Chi Yaohui: "Chi...you don't want to make an idea of ​​Mount Tululu, do you?"

"Is it not possible?" Chi Yaohui asked back.

"Of course, but I don't think now is the best time." Thomas said seriously: "You have to know that until now our Second Marine Division has not yet fully staffed, and the First Marine Division has just arrived. infantry regiment.

Now our total force in Guadalcanal Island, including you, is only about 3 people, which is not superior to the Japanese, and the Japanese still occupy a favorable terrain. It is very unwise to launch an attack now. As you High-achieving students who graduated from the Berlin Military Academy can't fail to see this, right? "

Through these days of getting along, Thomas and Chi Yaohui were surprised to find that the two were quite compatible in terms of personality and disposition, and had similar views on many things, which also made their personal relationship closer.

Because of this, Thomas is now less reserved and more straightforward when speaking to Chi Yaohui.

Chi Yaohui snorted softly: "Your words make sense, but unfortunately, many people in your army don't think so, such as your boss, Major General John Marston."

"Chi, did you receive any news?" Thomas was slightly startled.

"Yes."

A hint of helplessness appeared at the corner of Chi Yaohui's mouth, "Just yesterday, Major General John Marston sent us a telegram in the name of the Second Marine Division, asking us to prepare.

Three days later, a large-scale feint attack was launched on Tululu Mountain to test the deployment of Japanese troops and firepower in the area. "

Thomas was silent. Having been a soldier for so many years, he certainly understood what Major General John Marston meant.

This telegram was supposed to be a feint, but in fact, it was plainly intended to let Chi Yaohui's dispatched corps take the lead as cannon fodder, use their sacrifices to figure out the deployment of the Japanese army, and consume the strength of the Japanese army.

After they are all tired from fighting, the Second Marine Division can calmly launch a fatal blow to the Japanese army, so that the US military can achieve the greatest results without spending too much.

Major General John Marston's small calculations can be heard even by the Japanese tens of miles away.

It’s just that you know what you know, but Thomas can’t say anything. Who made him an American? Political correctness is not something that only later generations have. Americans have been playing tricks as early as the [-]th century.

After talking for a long time, Thomas finally choked out a sentence: "Can I help you?"

Chi Yaohui just asked back: "How can you help?" Thomas shut up.

This kind of thing is not something that a regiment leader can get involved in.

Seeing that Thomas was speechless, Chi Yaohui patted him on the shoulder: "Dude, as long as you have the intention. If you really want to help, please become the commander of the Second Marine Division first." Well, you are still too young now."

"Fuck you!" Thomas held out his middle finger angrily.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Thomas' distraught look, Chi Yaohui couldn't help laughing.

Just as Chi Yaohui was laughing, there was a roar of cars behind him, and another Willys jeep galloped from a distance, and a signal soldier jumped out of the car before the car stopped, with Excitedly shouted.

"Sir, an urgent telegram...the crew is here...in half an hour the plane he's on will arrive in Guadalcanal Island!"
-
Gao Hongming, dressed in a German military uniform and wearing the rank of colonel on his shoulders, stood in the big tent set up at the dispatch headquarters more than 20 kilometers southwest of Henderson Airport, quietly looking at the more than 20 people sitting in front of him. An officer, and Chi Yaohui, who is his deputy, sits on the left side of him.

And he has maintained this posture for a full 5 minutes. During these 5 minutes, Gao Hongming did not speak, just quietly looking at the officers sitting opposite him.

Although Gao Hongming did not speak, many people felt that a thin layer of sweat had already oozed from their foreheads.

Just like that, Gao Hongming finally spoke after several minutes, "Why don't you talk? You haven't seen me for two months, so you don't have anything to say to me?"

There was still silence in the tent. Although many officers hesitated to speak, they chose to shut up in the end.

"Since no one speaks, I'll call the roll call." Gao Hongming pointed to the major sitting on his right: "You Tianliang, you are the first battalion commander of the dispatching corps, can you tell me?"

You Tianliang didn't expect Gao Hongming to be the first to call his own name, so he quickly stood up, and said with a smile, "Tuan Zuo, what you said, if you don't speak, how dare we speak first."

"Oh, is that so? When did the Liantai militia have such rules?" Gao Hongming looked at You Tianliang in feigned surprise.

"Tuan Zuo, don't tease me." You Tianliang was very embarrassed. In any army, the highest officer speaks first in a meeting. This is the rule of all armies in the world. It is impossible for Gao Hongming not to know.

The reason why he said that was obviously ironic.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Gao Hongming's face immediately darkened: "But how did I hear that you guys are very active when I'm not around, and even learned to rush to talk."

As soon as Gao Hongming finished speaking, the faces of many people in the venue changed immediately, especially You Tianliang directly lowered his head.

"Why, aren't you usually very eloquent? Why are you all dumb now?"

Gao Hongming suddenly slapped the table with his palm, making a loud bang.
