Chapter 940 Welcome to Hell!
As early as October 25, 1950, Walker, commander of the US Eighth Army, met with reporters at the headquarters in Pyongyang. "It's going very well now," he declared.
As a result, on the same day, the Volunteer Army beat up the American Nanbang boy. Let Nan Bang understand that even if he follows the world's number one boss, it doesn't mean he can avoid being beaten.
Nan Bang retreated after being beaten and cried to his master, intending to get the boss to avenge himself. As a result, within a few days, the U.S. Army became the target of the Volunteers on November 1—Lao Mei was convinced that the Eighth Regiment of the First U.S. Cavalry Division in Izumo Mountain was surrounded.
Americans have always had little aura in war. Leaving aside the flat push of firepower during World War II, even in the Gulf War in the 1990s, the so-called beautiful "left hook" was nothing more than a roundabout attack-the US military blew this trivial gimmick many years.
From a tactical point of view, there is really nothing to say about the bullying tactics of the US military. They fought with a simple word - Howe. The posture of the nouveau riche beating people to death with money. The equipment is good, the logistics is good, and the soldiers are good. Does the commander need to use his brain?
Americans are masters of organization and management, and West Point has more engineers than soldiers. They are particularly good at planning the steps, and then let the enemy enter their own rhythm step by step to fight-the most important thing to fight against such an enemy is not to be led by the nose by the enemy.
But it's not easy!
Throughout the combat history of the U.S. military, as long as the enemy is timid about it at the beginning, it will be over as soon as the egg shrinks. Most of the opponents of the Americans are very weak. What is the basis for disrupting the US military's combat plan? Relying on fearless sacrifice-Americans have calculated the right time and place, but not the hearts of the people.
But this is easier said than done. In the world, people who cherish their lives to save their lives, can't bear hardships, and only want to take advantage of it are the majority. There are very few people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for others and destroy their families to serve the country when the country and the nation are in peril. I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune. This cultural tradition is hidden in the thinking of the descendants of Yan and Huang.
When the turbulent airflow caused the C119 transport plane to vibrate constantly, Holmes, the chief of staff of the US Cavalry First Division inside the plane, was in an extremely bad mood. Flying in the dark is a very dangerous thing, but it is nothing compared to the troubles that the Chief of Staff will face.
Before dark, Battalion Commander Mirkin of the 1st Battalion of the 8th U.S. Cavalry Regiment sent a warning, saying that the enemy deployed in the northern part of Yunshan was launching a tentative attack on him. It was only a tentative attack, but the fearless momentum of the enemy's attack was described as "like the mountains are rising and falling".
The battle situation changed dramatically in an instant, and a series of bad news kept coming. But the external battles were not to be feared, and what happened at the headquarters of the Eighth Regiment was the worst, none of them—Colonel Palmer and a group of officers in this regiment were killed with laxatives.
Colonel Palmer was temporarily unable to perform his duties due to severe dehydration. After learning about the incident, the top U.S. military even issued a gag order, mainly because they were afraid that the reporters would talk nonsense, and also that the soldiers who knew the news would spread gossip—this matter is too embarrassing, and it really damages the image of the U.S. military!
And Chief of Staff Holmes was sent to clean up this mess. His task was to lead the Eighth Cavalry Regiment to withdraw from Yunshan, because the current situation had disrupted the US military's combat plan.
The Americans tried to reorganize their offensive by falling back. They didn't like the feeling of losing the initiative, but the initiative had undoubtedly been lost to the enemy's attack.
"I asked the old Japanese soldiers in Tokyo who had studied the Chinese army, and those Japanese monkeys said that the opponent was very good at fighting destructively in weak situations. They could endure terrible sacrifices and sufferings, which were..."
Chief of Staff Holmes looked at the dark ground through the window of the engine room. He could see flames flickering on the ground, which was the firing of guns. There is no doubt that the side with the strongest fire is the US military, while the volunteer army is much weaker in comparison.
"Those are some lowly sons of bitches, why don't they just want to be bombarded like dust by gunfire." Chief of Staff Holmes originally had a somewhat approving tone, but his words suddenly changed. Turned out to be teasing and belittling.
There are also other officers drawn from the 1st Division of the U.S. Cavalry in the cabin. They will reorganize the command system of the 8th Cavalry Regiment so that this powerful armored force can exert its impressive attack power. Now that the plane was about to land, they laughed when they heard the chief of staff's evaluation of the enemy.
"Mr. Holmes, we have already contacted Yunshan Airport. They will give light instructions on the ground to help us land." The pilot of the transport plane said in the cabin intercom system.
Sure enough, a large number of bonfires and lights appeared on the ground, and the arrows pointed to the temporarily opened airport. The simply arranged runway lights lined up in a long row, and the C119 transport plane was circling and descending.
"How is the Eighth Regiment?" Chief of Staff Holmes asked.
The officer in charge of communications replied: "The regiment headquarters of the Eighth Regiment is relatively calm, but its three battalions are all deployed outside the city, and the first battalion is fighting the enemy in the direction of Qingchuan River.
The 10th Anti-aircraft Artillery Group assigned to us was in big trouble, and the rapid collapse of the 15th Nanbang Regiment was beyond our expectations. They are being attacked by multiple enemy forces, and the 6th Tank Battalion is coming to the rescue, but the situation is not good. "
Although the situation was urgent, these were all expected. Chief of Staff Holmes felt that the Eighth Regiment would only lose three or four hundred people in order to withdraw this time. For Americans, this is already a very unbearable casualty. "How is Colonel Palmer doing?" he asked again.
"Oh..." The officer scratched his head in embarrassment, and said uncertainly: "Colonel Palmer is still in treatment, but his mood is quite manic. He has ordered the troops directly under the regiment headquarters to search the entire Yunshan City, and it is said that he has captured Killed hundreds of Beibang spies."
Bei Bang spy?
Chief of Staff Holmes pouted, silently praying for Colonel Palmer. He continued: "Order the Eighth Regiment headquarters to withdraw from Yunshan City. We can't stay in a hostile city. Let's rearrange the command organization at the airport."
The communications officer nodded slightly, ready to deliver the order. At this time, Chief of Staff Holmes turned his head to look at the cabin window, he could just see Yunshan City, "This city will be me..."
His Excellency the Chief of Staff was about to open up a new situation for his trip to Yunshan, and read a commemorative line. Just like MacArthur who likes to pretend, no matter what you do, you must maintain your image.
But before Holmes could think of any good words, Yunshan City in the dark night suddenly lit up with a dazzling light. There seems to be a giant flare in the city, allowing people to see the layout and structure of the entire city clearly, like welcome fireworks!
The moment the bright light appeared, what His Excellency the Chief of Staff saw was a ring-shaped shock wave releasing powerful destructive power, and a large number of buildings collapsed, disintegrated, and turned into fly ash in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
The strong light lasted for a few seconds and then disappeared, and the night once again shrouded the world. But Yunshan City is like a charcoal fire in the cold winter, with flickering flames, and countless figures can be seen shaking, screaming, and calling for help in the smoke and dust.
Damn it..., His Excellency Holmes on the plane could only watch in a daze. He and his men crowded to the edge of the cabin, their minds went blank and they couldn't do anything.
This blinding light in the night sends an unmistakable message—Yankee, welcome to hell!
