"Where are the first group and the second group?"

The staff officer said halfway, Ren Fei asked hurriedly.

"The first regiment suffered the most casualties. At present, the entire regiment of the first regiment has 2,500 people. So far, more than 900 people have been killed. The specific number has not been counted. This will take the post-war statistics.

In addition, the second regiment suffered better casualties, but the casualties were not small. The second regiment killed 606 people."

"So many casualties?"

Ren Fei frowned tightly. He had expected huge casualties before, but he did not expect that the casualties were so large.

More than 900 people were killed in a group, and those injured, the group could be said to have suffered more than half of the casualties!

More than 600 people were killed in the Second Regiment, and more than 600 people were injured, probably thousands of people were injured.

The Third Regiment was better, but in the afternoon, he fought with an ambush team from Citi for a while, and then rushed to the front of them with the armor of infantry fighting vehicles.

"You go and order our team to log in overnight! You must log in at least ten groups before dawn!"

At least ten groups have logged in, plus the three groups that have logged in during the day today, this time, the more than 50,000 people have been brought in, which can be said to have logged in more than half.

Taking advantage of the night to land, this is what Ren Fei must do now. He must resolve the battle within these few days. Otherwise, once Citi reinforcements come to reinforce again, he can only draw teams from the Nanyang direction.

In that way, this is another protracted war of attrition.

Ren Fei felt sorry for his casualties at the command center, but he didn't know that there was a person in Citi that felt even more sorry for his casualties. He was so distressed that he was almost vomiting blood!

"Report to Mr. Lieutenant General! After our rough statistics, the soldiers we died today are about 6,000."

Crilo sat there a little annoyedly listening to the staff's report, and he vowed that he would never be more dying than this.

More than 6,000 soldiers were killed in one day. The casualties were too great. Citi had only so many teams on Maleta Island. If the losses continued like this, they would not be able to hold on for even ten days.

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

Crilo stood in front of the window and muttered to himself as he looked at the starry sky outside.

Crilo knew that he just needed to persevere and wait for the day after tomorrow that the support fleet sent by Nimitz would arrive.

As the support fleet arrived, there were 30,000 Marines' support soldiers, and now Crillo still has more than 40,000 soldiers, and he believed that he would be able to persevere until the day after tomorrow.

The next morning, when Chaoyang had just left the sea, it was dawn, but Ren Fei had already gotten up and prepared.

"Commander Ren! This is a telegram sent to you by Marshal Shen! Marshal Shen said that you can seize the opportunity!"

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

"Get the time? What does it mean?"

Ren Fei took the message with a puzzled look on his face. After reading it for less than five seconds, his eyes were frozen on it and he couldn't move it away.

"What? Five battleships? Fifteen aircraft carriers come to support? There are still 30,000 Citimarine soldiers?"

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

"It seems that we have to fight to make the world happen today!"

After a while, Ren Fei's brows frowned.

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

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

After a while, Ren Fei appeared in Chen Chengzhang's bridge command tower.

"Commander Ren! Have you seen the telegram? I wonder what you think?"

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

"Well! I'm here now for this matter. According to the information given to us by the military headquarters, Citi's support fleet and support team will arrive tomorrow. We must fight to the end today, otherwise this will be another protracted war of attrition!"

Ren Fei looked at Chen Chengzhang and said seriously.

"Well! I know naturally. So do you want me to use the main guns of the battleship to provide naval gun support?"

"Not bad! I'll order all the Marines we've landed to defend on the southern beaches and you guys shell them and they're there!

According to the information we have obtained, Citi's main garrison on Maleta Island is in the northwest direction of the island. You use naval guns to carry out a covered saturated shelling of this area. After the shelling, I will order the team to start a full-scale attack on Citi!

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

And we can let airships transport ammunition supplies from Nanyang, and we believe we will arrive tomorrow morning!"

Chen Chengzhang heard Ren Fei's words and thought for a few minutes before agreeing.

During this continuous battle for several days, the ammunition of the battleship was consumed very much and ammunition was urgently needed.

This is also why the Citi support fleet was not launched yesterday for cover shelling on Maleta Island.

Now after listening to Ren Fei's words, Chen Chengzhang felt that it made sense. Although the ammunition was consumed very much today, as long as he took down Maleta Island, it would be worth it.

At six o'clock in the morning, all the Marine Corpses that landed on Maleta Island in the Han Empire received Ren Fei's order.

He immediately gave up his original position and retreated to the beach to defend, and was ready to wait for his orders to prepare for the attack.

Although the regiment commanders were puzzled, they still began to retreat according to Ren Fei's order.

At 7 a.m., all the teams had returned to the beach landing site.

It was also at this time that the fleet brought by Chen Chengzhang began to shell the enemy.

The main naval guns, secondary guns of battleships, main guns of heavy cruisers, and main guns of destroyers also began to be bombard.

The entire sea trembled, and a large area of ​​gunpowder floated over the fleet.
