"No effect!"

Lieutenant Colonel Gomez's answer was categorical: "The efficiency of the Chinese engineering troops is unimaginable, if the ants are the masters of infrastructure in this world, then I can guarantee that the Chinese creatures have surpassed the ants, they are as if they were enchanted by witches, and the construction of railways is simply amazing."

You know, in just 10 minutes, they repaired almost a hundred meters, and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there was such a group of crazy people in this world......"

It was said that the Chinese were crazy, but in fact, Gomez at this time was more like a stimulated madman, and his mouth was chattering, so that Colonel Huntinger, who was holding the radio, was pricked in his eardrums, but he did not stop Gomez's nagging, let alone throw the headphones aside and ignore them, but listened to every word with a gloomy face.

Operation Avenger was the first large-scale air raid campaign Huntinger had led since he took command of the Fifth Air Wing, and it may have been nothing to the other officers of the Fifth Wing, but it was vital to him.

After all, the generals of the US forces stationed in South Korea, and even the bigwigs of the United Nations Command in Tokyo are watching him, and if this battle is fought well, Colonel Huntinger in the mouth of the people on the side will become General Huntinger, and the command of the Fifth Air Force will naturally be handed over to him.

However, once it fails......

Huntinger really did not dare to imagine the consequences of defeat, and in any case, his plan to shrink the front caused considerable criticism, and the officers and men of the Fifth Air Wing did not say anything about it, and even General Ridgway, commander of the US Eighth Army, had reservations about this plan.

It is conceivable that if this operation does not meet expectations, and the logistics supply train of the Chinese army is successfully delivered to the front, it will be tantamount to declaring the complete failure of General Ridgway's counteroffensive operation, and it is conceivable what will happen to General Ridgway, who has fallen short!

So, for Colonel Huntinger, this battle can only be successful, not lost!

Because of this, Colonel Huntinger's execution of this battle plan can be described as meticulous and precise, even the amount of bombs dropped on each rail is accurately calculated, and the duration of the attack and the pace of the attack are controlled to the top, and the whole process is like a textbook, and the fight is perfect and efficient.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the Soviet Union, which was on an equal footing with the United States, encountered those two powerful attack waves, it could only sigh and wait for death in the mountain tunnel, but unfortunately, today's opponent is not an ordinary country, but China!

A China that will be able to create a China that surpasses the predictions of experts!

……

"The third wave of attacks is delayed for an hour, Lieutenant Colonel, please continue to maintain aerial reconnaissance and keep an eye on their every move"

After a long silence, it was replaced by an order to postpone the attack, and Lieutenant Colonel Gomez was stunned when he heard it, it was absolutely impossible, so he looked at his watch and replied in disbelief: "Delay for an hour? It was already dark by then, so it was hard to ...... Do you want to carry out night air strikes? ”

After saying the tactical term of night air raid, even Lieutenant Colonel Gomez himself felt a little ridiculous, for the air forces of various countries in the 50s of the 20th century, night was still the biggest enemy, although in World War II there were night fighters and bombers using radar, but to organize a large-scale air operation at night, it is much more difficult than during the day.

Because of this, as long as it is not an emergency, the air forces of all countries will not easily carry out night operations, but Huntinger put aside the easiest combat method at the moment and chose the most difficult tactical strike plan, although he heard it with his own ears, Lieutenant Colonel Gomez still felt that Huntinger on the other end of the radio was crazy.

Is the reluctant Colonel Huntinger crazy?

Naturally, there is no, the reason for this choice is very simple, there is not only the helplessness of reality, but also the tactical consideration of "attacking it unprepared" by surprise!

The purpose of this third wave of attacks, which was carried out in the afterglow of dusk, was originally a replenishment operation, which was aimed at relying on the strike effect of the first two waves to trap the Chinese logistics supply train in the mountain tunnel, and then use the third wave of attacks to completely seal the Chinese officers and soldiers and materials inside in the tunnel, making it a grave for burying the Chinese logistics troops.

Contrary to expectations, however, the first two waves of the attack did not achieve the desired goal, and the Chinese engineering troops were incredibly capable of repairing the damaged section of the road so quickly that by the time he led the more than 20 clumsy bombers responsible for the third wave of the attack, the Chinese train crew was estimated to have already left the trapped mountain tunnel.

Of course, Huntinger can also choose to forcibly attack the moving Chinese trainset, but the problem is that the Chinese army's anti-aircraft artillery units deployed along the railway line are not dry, and the first two attack waves still use A-1 attack aircraft with very good air mobility;

As a result, three were shot down and five were damaged by the Chinese anti-aircraft artillery units arranged along the railway line, which was the loss of a squadron after careful calculation, and the A-1 was still like this, and the B-26 bombers with slow flight speed and poor maneuverability can be imagined, so from the actual situation, it was not appropriate to use the B-26 bombers, and the A-1 attack planes could only be put on top again.

However, the problem is that the A-1 attack aircraft of the Fifth Air Wing have long been exhausted by a whole day's attack operation, and the results of forcibly pulling them out for combat are naturally not good.

If a tactical plan is unbelievable even to one's own people, then it is impossible for the opponent to find out their true intentions, night air raids are difficult, but night air defense is even more difficult, and compared with the US Air Force since World War II has explored a set of effective strategies and tactics for large-scale air raids at night, China's night counter-air raid operations are simply an out-and-out tabula rasa, whether they can find targets in the dark night sky is unknown, let alone air defense!

What's more, Colonel Huntinger is no stranger to night air raids, Huntinger, who was born in the Eighth Air Force of the US Army, has been stationed in Britain during World War II, during which he not only participated in the night strategic bombing of Germany, but also personally commanded two night strategic air raids against Berlin at the end of the war.

All in all, Colonel Huntinger believes that the expressions on the faces of the Chinese officers and soldiers who were glad to have escaped the catastrophe were absolutely wonderful when the flares were blown up by the Chinese logistics supply train crew!

Thinking of this, Huntinger couldn't help but smile slightly, Senbai's teeth were neatly exposed again, and he immediately responded murderously: "Execute the order, Lieutenant Colonel, and then you will see how I blew those yellow-skinned monkeys to slag......
