Ren Fei frowned tightly. He had expected huge casualties before, but he didn't expect the casualties to be so large.

More than [-] people were killed in one regiment, plus those who were injured, it can be said that more than half of the casualties in one regiment!

More than [-] people were killed in the second regiment, plus the injured, it is estimated that there were thousands of casualties.

The third regiment was a bit better, but they fought with an ambush team of Citi for a while in the afternoon, and then rushed to the front of them with the armor of the infantry fighting vehicle.

"Go and order our team to land overnight! Be sure to land at least ten regiments before dawn!"

At least ten regiments have landed, plus the three regiments that landed during the day today, and more than [-] people brought this time, it can be said that more than half of them have landed.

Taking advantage of the night to land, this is what Ren Fei must do now, he must resolve the battle within a few days, otherwise, once Citi's reinforcements come to reinforce again, then he can only deploy a team from the direction of Nanyang .

That would be another protracted war of attrition.

Ren Fei felt sorry for his casualties in the headquarters, but he didn't know that there was a person in Citi who felt more sorry for his casualties, so distressed that he almost vomited blood!

"Report, Mr. Lieutenant General! According to our rough statistics, the number of soldiers killed today is about [-]."

Crillo sat there a little irritatedly listening to the staff report, and he swore that there would be no more death-threatening behavior than this.

More than [-] soldiers were killed in one day. The casualties were too great. Citigroup only had so many troops in Malaita.

"It seems that our situation is not very good! But it's okay! Tomorrow! As long as we persist until tomorrow, our support fleet will arrive soon!"

Crillo stood in front of the window, looking at the starry sky outside and muttering to himself.

Crillo knew that he only needed to hold on a little longer, and the support fleet sent by Nimitz would arrive the day after tomorrow.

With the arrival of the support fleet, there are [-] marine support soldiers. Now there are more than [-] soldiers in Crillo. He believes that he will be able to persist until the day after tomorrow.

The next morning, when the sun had just emerged from the sea, it was dawn, but Ren Fei had already gotten up and made preparations.

"Commander Ren! This is a telegram from Marshal Shen to you! Marshal Shen told you to seize the opportunity!"

While Ren Fei was having breakfast, a staff officer walked up to him and placed a telegram in front of him.

"Seize the moment? What do you mean?"

Ren Fei accepted the telegram with a puzzled expression, and within five seconds of reading it, his eyes were fixed on it and could not move away.

"What? Five battleships? Fifteen aircraft carriers to support? Thirty thousand Citi Marines?"

Ren Fei's eyes wrinkled tightly. This telegram was forwarded by Han Ling to Shen Chengzhang through the military department, and Shen Chengzhang forwarded such a telegram to Ren Fei.

"It seems that today we must fight to determine the world!"

After a while, Ren Fei frowned.

"Come here! Order the team to stop attacking immediately! All the teams stand by and defend, and no one is allowed to attack without my order! In addition, let the remaining seven infantry regiments land immediately and stand by on the beach!"

After Ren Fei put down the telegram and told the staff, he quickly stood up and prepared to take a small boat to Shen Chengzhang's flagship Lushan, because some things needed the help of the navy fleet!

After a while, Ren Fei appeared in Shen Chengzhang's bridge conning tower.

"Commander Ren! Did you see the telegram? I wonder what you think?"

Shen Chengzhang couldn't help asking when he saw Ren Fei walking into his command tower.

"Well! I'm here now for this purpose. According to the information given to us by the military department, Citigroup's support fleet and support team will arrive tomorrow. We must fight today to make a decision, otherwise this will be another battle. A protracted war of attrition!"

Ren Fei looked at Shen Chengzhang and said seriously.

"Well! Of course I know. So you want me to use the battleship's main gun for naval gun support?"

"Good! Later I'll order all the Marines we've landed to hold up on South Beach while you shell them!

According to the information we have obtained, the main place where Citi's troops are stationed on Malaita Island is in the northwest direction of the island. You use naval guns to carry out covering and saturated bombardment of this area.After the bombardment I will order the team to start an all-out attack on Citi!

Although this will consume a lot of ammunition, as long as we take this island, all the three large islands of the Solomon Islands are in our hands.

And we can let the airship deliver ammunition supplies from Nanyang, I believe it will arrive tomorrow morning! "

After Shen Chengzhang heard Ren Fei's words, he agreed after thinking for a few minutes.

During these consecutive days of combat, the battleships consumed a lot of ammunition and were in urgent need of ammunition replenishment.

This is also the reason why there was no covering bombardment of Malaita Island yesterday, because I was afraid that Citi's support fleet would arrive.

Now after listening to Ren Fei's words, Shen Chengzhang feels that it makes sense. Although the ammunition consumption is very high today, as long as Malaita Island is taken, it will be worth it.

At six o'clock in the morning, all the marine regiments of the Han Empire who landed on Malaita received orders from Ren Fei.

Immediately abandon the original position, all retreat to the beach for defense, and are ready to listen to his orders to attack at any time.

Although the regiment leaders were puzzled, they still followed Ren Fei's order to retreat.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, all teams have returned to the beach landing point.

It was also at this time that the fleet brought by Shen Chengzhang started shelling.

The main guns and secondary guns of the battleship, the main guns of the heavy cruiser, and the main guns of the destroyer also started shelling.

The entire sea trembled, and large clouds of gunpowder smoke floated over the fleet.

And those Citi soldiers were bombarded by Shen Chengzhang's naval guns before they realized what was going on.
