Chapter 447: The Enigmatic Chinese Artillery
Colonel Wharton is indeed entitled to rejoice.
Just as the South Korean Capital Division succeeded the Canadian 25th Brigade and successfully captured Neutron Mountain, Wharton almost overpowered the American troops under him.
Had it not been for the over-the-power of his intellect that overcame his impulse at the last moment, it would not only be the Koreans and Canadians who bear the "wrath" of the Chinese at this moment, but their precious Americans.
Although he had not seen the real attack of the white phosphorus bomb with his own eyes, he had seen the wounded who were burned by the white phosphorus bomb in the rear hospital, and the kind of ruthless material that would not stop without burning the muscle tissue through him, so that he, a senior officer who was used to death, could not deal with it calmly.
Although the killing range is much smaller than napalm, it is not much worse than napalm in terms of lethality, and the reason why the US military uses napalm is not only to kill and injure the enemy, but also to use this extremely cruel means to shock the enemy's mind.
Nowadays, the Chinese have the same means, which is equivalent to smashing this shock back intact, and when beating people, they may feel very cool, but when they are beaten, it really hurts, even if it is hit on their two "dogs", Americans as owners still have a kind of empathetic palpitations.
Colonel Wharton took this palpitation to the extreme, because he didn't know whether this was the last hole card of the Chinese, but he told himself very clearly that if this threat was not pulled out, even if the long-recuperated US military was pressed up, the consequences would inevitably be unbearable.
Case......
Colonel Wharton took his coffee and paced back and forth in the radio ticking command headquarters, and finally at a certain moment he stopped, put the cold coffee in his hand on the table, and at the same time picked up the phone on the table and called the command of the Eighth Army: "I am the commander of the forward command Wharton, I hope that the command can coordinate the artillery and air force to suppress and destroy all the artillery of the Chinese army!" ”
……
Wharton's request soon became an extremely strict order from within the command of the Eighth Army, which immediately provoked an extremely strong reaction from the artillery and the supporting air force.
In any case, they did not expect that those Chinese artillery units, who should have gone to see God a long time ago, would launch a powerful artillery attack, not to mention the fish that slipped through the net.
This is tantamount to slapping two big slaps in the face of the US artillery and air force, and there is no need for the Eighth Army Command to issue any harshly worded orders, just to tell the truth about the situation on the front line, which is enough to make the commanders of the artillery and air force scream to completely destroy the weak Chinese artillery!
As a result, the Americans' air force and artillery soon established a coordinated combat mechanism, with reconnaissance planes as the core, carrying artillery observers as artillery fire calibrators to guide artillery firing, and at the same time, they could also call their own combat planes at any time to carry out supplementary bombing or simply direct surprise attacks.
All in all, the US military believes that the air-ground integrated firepower network established by using this reconnaissance and guidance system will be able to defeat the Soviet Union, which is also a superpower.
……
Lieutenant Denzel held a detailed map in his hand, and through a set of sophisticated optical observation instruments, he looked through the bright glass window of the L-3J "Grasshopper" reconnaissance plane sitting down at the several places behind Lenghuang Mountain where there were obvious traces of man-made traces.
He immediately withdrew his gaze, carefully looked at the map in his hand, frowned and shook his head: "It is 16 kilometers away from Neutron Mountain, to be honest, if I hadn't seen those obvious traces of artillery positions with my own eyes, I really wouldn't dare to imagine that the Chinese's artillery would have hit so far!" ”
Lieutenant Denzel was still shaking his head as he spoke, and the kind of unbelievable unreservedness from his heart hung on his face, which looked particularly indescribable against the background of the gloomy sky.
Ensign Devero sitting next to him was also shocked and incomprehensible, but compared to Denzel's purity, Devero's face was a little more confused and vain.
Glancing at the dense mountains and forests below, and gently moving the lever in his hand, the L-3J "Grasshopper" reconnaissance plane sitting down was like a light butterfly, turning in a semicircle on the edge of the cold yellow mountain, and when the plane cruised on the cold yellow mountain again, Second Lieutenant De Velo said faintly: "I really don't know how many advanced weapons and equipment the Soviets gave the Chinese, in short, I think that in addition to the mysterious fighting spirit of the Chinese, the weapons in their hands are also like a mystery, which makes people unable to see through at all!" ”
It seemed to be summing up the battle during this time, and as if he was moaning without illness, in short, Lieutenant Devero's words made people listen to it with a little frustration, but Lieutenant Denzel, who was sitting next to him, knew that this was just Devero's true heart.
Just over a week ago, the L-3J "Grasshopper" reconnaissance plane, also piloted by him and Dvero, spotted the presence of Chinese armored units in the Wulidong area, located 75 kilometers north of the Imjin River, and immediately reported the situation to the air force in the rear.
The next day, they spotted a company of Chinese tank units not far from the Wulidong area, and the same situation was repeated.
Over the next few days, they almost always spotted the presence of Chinese armored forces, and thanks to their excellent reconnaissance records, the U.S. Air Force eliminated more than 60 Chinese tanks and successfully prevented the Chinese armored forces from counterattacking.
For this reason, the two not only won the Air Force Silver Service Medal, but also promoted their ranks, but also sang a song with Marilyn Monroe, who came to the North Korean Labor Army.
However, after the Chinese armored department forcibly broke into the encirclement of the Wharton armored battle group and rescued the besieged heavy firepower company, it was like a dream bubble and completely came to naught, although the air force did not admit that it had neglected reconnaissance and intelligence for the sake of face and the interests of the services.
However, Denzel and De Vero were still put into the cold palace by the North Korean Air Force because of this incident, not only did the change of aircraft type not land, but even the promotion of their positions was stopped, if it were not for the sake of face, it is estimated that the promoted ranks could be withdrawn, so that the two of them carried the rank of squadron leader of the reconnaissance aircraft squadron and continued to rush the work of the previous non-commissioned officer.
Such an experience of heaven falling into hell not only shattered the hopes of the two, but also knocked out the already small courage in their bodies, especially a Devero who believed in mysticism, and directly classified the elusive Chinese into the category of mystery, because of this, when he set his eyes on Leng Huangshan again, he not only sighed in frustration: "It was a mysterious Chinese armored soldier before, but now it is a mysterious Chinese artillery, how many ...... are there Chinese fans"
