My own war game

Chapter 234 Australia Gate
Not much time had passed before the figure in front of He Chi gradually became clear.

Tall figure, slender and powerful thighs, exaggerated upper body curves... um, it seems a bit too exaggerated...

What appeared in front of him was a kangaroo. It was about ten meters away, staring at He Chi with its head tilted.

The air around became dry and sultry, and a gritty wind blew on He Chi's face.

This is Australia.

boom! ! ! ! !
A gunshot was heard, and He Chi subconsciously reached for his gun, only to find several oversized rabbits fleeing from a distance. In a jeep behind, several American soldiers in their twenties were sitting in the jeep, chasing the rabbits with guns. In the distance, there was the sound of a guitar and probably smoke from a barbecue.

WTF? ! ! What is going on? ! ! This instance is not World War II? But a modern Oceania farmhouse?
He Chi was a little confused about the current situation for a moment.

"He, although I know you are in a bad mood now, please understand that I have no choice..." A familiar voice came from behind. He Chi turned around and found that it was his old acquaintance Colonel Carlson.

He Chi walked over, and since he didn't know the situation clearly, he chose to keep silent for the time being.

This action made Colonel Carlson more certain that He Chi was protesting silently, so he explained in a humble voice.

Following the colonel's explanation, He Chi roughly understood the situation.

It is now late 1942, the eve of the Battle of Guadalcanal, commonly known as the Battle of Guadalcanal.

During this period, the Japanese army and the US-Australia coalition forces were fighting fiercely in the South Pacific. The Solomon Islands were occupied by both sides, and the two sides were originally in a delicate strategic balance. However, this balance was broken after the Japanese army occupied Laji Island and Guadalcanal.

The Japanese actually wanted to build an airport at this location. If they succeeded, the entire Solomon Islands and northern Australia would be exposed to the Japanese bombing range, and it would also seriously threaten the sea transportation lines from the United States to Australia.

This is absolutely not possible!
Therefore, after discussion, Washington decided to occupy the Japanese airport under construction and the entire island, and for this purpose, it also brought in the veteran 1st Marine Division as the vanguard of the beachhead.

But the problem lies with the 1st Marine Division. Although it is an ace division of the US Army formed by Washington himself, the 1st Marine Division is actually in a most embarrassing period.

There is no other reason, because the 1st Marine Division was the first unit to conduct landing combat training, in order to expand its experience, its core officers and veterans were assigned to the newly formed 2nd and 3rd Marine Divisions. Now the entire 1st Marine Division is filled with a large number of replacement soldiers who have never seen a battle.

Especially the newly formed 1th Regiment of the 7st Marine Division, almost % of them are new recruits, which are the guys who are hunting rabbits in front of He Chi.

But the order had already been given. Even if we ignored the Japanese bayonets that were already pointed at our noses, the action could not be delayed just for the sake of the face of MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the Marine Corps. So within the limited training time, the Ministry of National Defense proposed that the recruits conduct a landing exercise so that at least the soldiers could adapt to the battlefield atmosphere.

From here, history deviates a bit.

Because of He Chi's appearance, during the Battle of Midway, the US Pacific Fleet not only sank several more Japanese warships, but also captured more than one hundred Japanese prisoners.

Kojiro Iikuni, who had already announced that he would "die" for Ho Chi, took this opportunity to use some unique "methods" to win over some weak-willed soldiers with a strong desire to survive among the Japanese prisoners of war, and joined an armed organization called the "New Japan National Construction Army". (A total of 38 people, known as a squadron)
The core idea of ​​the organization is to "save Japan in a roundabout way". In Kojiro's words, he is the real patriot, and what he is fighting against is not the Japanese people, but the reactionary militarist government. "Only by overthrowing the reactionary militarist government can Japan have a bright future! New Japan, on board!" This is the slogan that Kojiro Iikuni leads people to shout before dinner every day.

Then this small force was targeted by the US Department of Defense.

In the words of US Chief of General Staff Marshall, these former Japanese regular army soldiers best represent the current combat effectiveness and tactical characteristics of the Japanese army.

As a result, all the former members of the Tanikaze, including Colonel Carlson, were pulled to Australia to serve as the "Blue Army" for the military exercise, and He Chi, who was the actual controller of these rebellious Japanese soldiers, was also transferred over.

"Attack! Kill! Charge! Charge!" The sound of fighting was heard from another direction.

It turned out that about 200 meters away, Kojiro was leading his two teams to conduct offensive training in the wild. With all-Japanese equipment and commands, watching the coordinated tactical movements between the soldiers, there was actually some of the momentum of the Japanese invaders 41 years ago.

Seeing He Chi and Colonel Carlson coming over, Kojiro, who was standing at the front, waved the command knife in his hand, asking all the soldiers to stop. Then he trotted over with his sword in hand and bowed 90 degrees when they met.

"Sir! You are here! You have come a long way and worked hard! The New Japan National Army is conducting a drill, please give us your instructions!"

He Chi looked at the high-spirited Fanguo Xiaojiro and almost laughed out loud at first sight.

Because this "commander" of the New Japanese National Construction Army, who had only 37 men under his command, was wearing a colonel's uniform.

You said that you have at most two squads of soldiers under your command, yet you gave yourself a military uniform that only a regiment commander can have. What's the point of such pretense?

However, He Chi did not express any opinion, but pulled Xiao Jilang over and asked, "Can these dozens of people of yours really fight a war?"

"Hai! I dare not deceive you, sir. The ideological transformation of these soldiers has not been completed. It may not be safe to let them attack the Japanese invaders, but there will be no problem in a defensive battle." Kojiro answered with his head down, and in order to make his position clear, he kept calling them "Japanese invaders".

"Like this..." He Chi looked at the American recruits who were still chasing rabbits and BBQ in the distance, and then asked, "How many battles can you win with such recruits?"

"Sir, if it were new recruits of this quality, as long as the number was within twice as much, Kojiro would be confident of a complete victory."

"So, do you know what to do next?" He Chi continued to ask with his head down.

"Don't worry, sir. I understand. We will give them a lot of slack and let the American officers win with dignity." Kojiro replied respectfully.

"No!" He Chi shook his head. "I want you to show your true abilities and defeat them all!"

Iikuni Kojiro was stunned for a moment, then his eyes rolled, he bowed again and said, "Please rest assured, I understand!"
