Invincible from the sword

Chapter 422 Who Should I Ask For Reason?

Although Inoue Orihime was very upset.

But this command still needs to be executed.

So Orihime Inoue could only take his engineering troops straight to the legendary Guadalcanal Island.

Of course, Nagumo Chuichi also felt that this matter was a bit unreasonable.

So when Orihime Inoue left Tulagi Island for Guadalcanal, Tadashi Nagumo gave Inoue Orihime [-] boxes of island beer for the first time.

This is good stuff!

Island beer.

Even in the mainland of the island country, it is a rare commodity.

The island country has a lot of sake, but this island country beer, the average island country person can't drink it at all.

These [-] cases of beer were kept by Nanyun Zhongyi himself.

Take a sip, very relaxing.

The beer of the island country is completely different from the beer manufacturing process and raw materials of other countries.

There are secret recipes.

A taste of the family.

This kind of beer collected by Nagumo Chuichi uses the best dog urine as raw material.

Plus sheep dung eggs.

Made by stirring and fermenting.

The most precious material here is that Nagumo Chuichi begged for footwashing water from His Majesty the Dog of the Island Country.

This makes this beer very collectible.

In addition, it must be consecrated by monks from the island country.

When Nan Yunzhong gave such beer to Inoue Orihime, he also bled.

So although he complained a bit, Orihime Inoue quickly took the engineering unit to Guadalcanal.

Prepare to build a new airport.

The entire engineering unit, plus some soldiers, has a total strength of almost 3000 people.

It looks like there are a lot of people.

But the combat power is basically not there.

The engineers of the Japanese army are really engineers.

Professional skills are good, but fighting is really bad.

These Japanese engineering units were not even equipped with weapons.

Just go straight to the staff with a shovel and pass.

Of course, the necessary equipment is indispensable.

Even so, this group of devil military workers was exhausted enough.

In order to meet the deadline, Orihime Inoue had very strict requirements.

Anyone who is slow will be killed with one shot.

Anyway, they are all from Bangzi Country, and Orihime Inoue doesn't care at all.

These stick people are enough.

It's so funny that I think I'm also an islander!

Day special!
It's amazing that a stick traitor can be used for this purpose.

Just as Orihime Inoue was taking his engineers to build the airport on Guadalcanal, the fleet sent by Nimitz was already halfway there.

Because this battle includes not only naval battles, but also landing battles, the Lighthouse Kingdom has not negotiated a good deal about the commander of this battle.

Now although Nimitz has dispatched the No.16 Task Force and the No.17 Task Force.

And it also carries the [-]st Division of the Lighthouse Marine Corps.

However, there has been no negotiation on the issue of command.

Originally, Nimitz thought that this should be a very simple question.

The entire Pacific Fleet is under his command.

Therefore, the First Marine Division should also be under his command.

But this idea was quickly opposed by Marshall, the leader of the Lighthouse Army.

Marshall's words are high-sounding.

The Marine Corps of the Lighthouse Country has always been under the direct command of the leader of the Lighthouse Country.

According to the tradition of the Lighthouse Kingdom, that is the number one Imperial Forest Army.

Not part of your Nimitz order of combat forces in the Pacific Fleet.

And this attack on Guadalcanal is considered a land battle.

It is not appropriate for you to let the commander of the Pacific Fleet command.

This is a land battle, which is completely different from a sea battle.

Marshall's righteous words.

It made Nimitz very depressed.

Damn.The Marine Corps is not under the command of him, the commander of the Pacific Fleet!

Really beeping a dog.

But Marshall said that's what he said, but the entire First Division of the Marine Corps must also board the ship, right?

If I can't even command on the ship, how can I coordinate the troops to fight?

In the end, it was still wheelchair Luo and mud.

In this case, the First Marine Division will be under the command of the Pacific Fleet when it is at sea.

After landing, it will return to the command of the island country army.

This made Vandergrift, the commander of the First Marine Division, very depressed.

I only have one teacher, why is the division so detailed?
And Vandergrift is very dissatisfied with letting his troops join the battle now.

His [-]st Marine Division was ordered to start training after Pearl Harbor was attacked.

The results of the training are very good.

The entire First Marine Division is very powerful.

The problem is, this was all two months ago.

After the training of the first marine division, most of the grassroots commanders and non-commissioned officers were basically transferred away.

Because of the wheelchair Luo's order, the second marine division and the third marine division should be formed.

Forming a brand new army is not something that can be done just by talking about it.

Soldiers are easy to recruit.

But you can't directly appoint recruits as grassroots commanders, can you?

Grassroots commanders such as company commanders, platoon leaders, and squad leaders are the foundation of the entire army.

Therefore, in the First Marine Division, a large number of grassroots officers were transferred.

In addition to grassroots officers, a large number of soldiers were also transferred.

Later, although a large number of soldiers were added to the First Marine Division, because the training was not completed, Vandergrift had no idea about the combat effectiveness of the entire First Marine Division.

This is different from the order he received at first.

At the beginning, Luo Ke, the wheelchair, personally agreed that his First Marine Division would not have any combat missions within half a year.

As a result, only two months have passed, and his first marine division is about to be pulled to the battlefield.

Who's to make sense of this?

And the landing place this time is still some kind of melon or some kind of island!

Fake!

He had never heard of such an island in the world.

What made him vomit blood the most was that no one else had heard of this melon island.

In the entire lighthouse country, there is no map of this island at all.

It is only known as a tropical island.

The rest is the sporadic description of this island in a novel.

What does this make him do?
He still doesn't know where he landed from.

What is going on on this island is still unknown.

This battle was fought, simply.

For a moment, Vandergrift thought it was a joke.

If we don’t go to such a big kangaroo country, we actually want to occupy an island!
And his superior commander was actually divided into two!
At sea, you have to listen to Nimitz, but on land, you have to listen to Pipe Mike.

I am Nima.

Why do I feel like I was raised by a stepmother?
Van der Grift was upset.

With Nimitz as his commander, he was convinced by Lao Fan.

But letting Pipe Mike be his commander, that's too much.

Pipe Mike, that's a big fountain pen.

The command ability is very rubbish.

It's okay to be beaten into shit in the Filipino maid country.

This is in Kangaroo Country, Pipe Mike made the Japanese army retreat steadily.

In the end, the wheelchair was directly rolled by Luo.

Replaced by Stilwell.

Such an incompetent guy, let him command my first marine division, how can I be good?

Vandergrift was conflicted.

However, he is not stupid.

Logging in so stupidly is completely courting death.

Since you can't count on Pipe Mike, find someone else.

So Vandergrift turned his eyes and went to ask Spruance, the commander of this campaign.

He and Spruance were old friends.

Ask him, you may get some useful information.

After all, Spruance had fought against the Japanese combined fleet.

And also won.

It is still possible to learn a little about the Japanese army from Spruance.

At this time, Spruance is commanding two task forces to rush to Guadalcanal at full speed.

After the Battle of Midway, Spruance became the de facto second in command in the Pacific Fleet.

Besides Nimitz, Spruance's power is the greatest.

For this attack on Guadalcanal, Spruance directly commanded the No.16 and No.17 task forces.

There are five aircraft carriers alone.

In addition to the original USS Enterprise, USS Yorktown and USS Hornet, two new aircraft carriers, USS Saratoga and USS Hornet, have been commissioned.

This greatly enhanced the overall strength of the Pacific Fleet.

The addition of two new aircraft carriers means that more than one hundred aircraft can be put into battle.

Such power is very powerful.

Of course, Spruance was not careless.

On the contrary, he is very cautious.

Because Zhang Lei told him that landing on Guadalcanal is not just a landing operation.

Geographically, Guadalcanal is very important.

The Japanese army will definitely send a large number of warships to fight at any cost.

According to Zhang Lei's judgment, the Japanese army will send no less than three aircraft carriers at that time.

So Spruance must pay close attention.

After arriving at Guadalcanal Island, a reconnaissance plane was dispatched to conduct non-stop reconnaissance.

As for Guadalcanal itself, Zhang Lei told Spruance that the initial landing operations, the resistance of the Japanese army, should be very slight.

The Japanese army on the island should have no more than 5000 troops.

The fighting power is average.

However, in order to recapture Guadalcanal, the Japanese army will definitely send a large number of troops there.

Zhang Lei judged that the Japanese army might send a division there.

In this case, the combat pressure of the first marine division in the later period will be very high.

Spruance believed Zhang Lei's words very much.

Since the Battle of Midway, Spruance has become Zhang Lei's little fan.

I firmly believe in Zhang Lei's judgment.

But Nestor felt that what Zhang Lei said was a bit too much?
Nestor could see the importance of Guadalcanal.

That is a thorn between their lighthouse country and kangaroo country.

The Japanese army must have deployed heavy troops on it.
