Chapter 365: An Inch of Travel, an Inch of Blood (Part I)

In the face of such a result, Colonel Huntinger naturally did not believe it, or more precisely, selectively did not believe it, there was no way that this loss was really unbearable for Colonel Huntinger, who was accustomed to seeing bloody storms, 6 A-1 attack planes, 8 F-86 fighters, if you add the 6 A-1 attack planes belonging to the 456 attack aircraft squadron commanded by Albrad early yesterday morning.

In 24 hours, the Fifth Air Wing lost a total of 20 combat aircraft, not to mention that the pilots killed or missing tonight were all the pillars of the Fifth Air Wing, so such heavy battle damage was tantamount to a great loss of vitality for Colonel Huntinger.

So he lost the menacing momentum he had before, and he lost the confidence to be invincible, and he only had empty eyes and an unbelievable blankness.

After staring at the battle briefing in front of him for a long time, Fang Cai shook his head fiercely: "Impossible...... That's impossible...... No matter how powerful the Chinese is, shooting down the A-1 attack plane is considered to be the sky, but how can the F-86 be ...... They all hide in the dark, and their speed and maneuverability are ......."

I have to admire Colonel Huntinger's calmness, even in the face of such a major blow, his mind will not be shut down, but continue to think in the right direction, if Song Tianming is here, he will definitely give Colonel Huntinger a terrible evaluation.

And in fact, Colonel Huntinger is not only terrible, but also ruthless to do everything to achieve his goal!

When the combat staff told Colonel Huntinger about the recording of the conversation of the warring pilots and the clues obtained by the reconnaissance planes accompanying the support, Huntinger was only slightly stunned for a moment, and then frowned and said in surprise: "The Chinese actually have a night vision system and radar?" ”

"The claim of the night vision system was learned from the phone call of Lieutenant Colonel Adelson and others, and there is no direct evidence. But the radar should be undoubted, because the radio detection equipment of the reconnaissance aircraft has undoubtedly intercepted several obvious radar frequency bands, especially in the last two minutes, the signal is extremely strong! ”

Listening to the words of the combat staff officer, Colonel Huntinger rubbed his chin and nodded and said firmly: "Not only the radar can be determined, but the night vision system is the same, although Adelson likes to contradict the officer and is as timid as a mouse, his caution is still commendable, so he said that if there is, it should be eight or nine!" ”

"So what do we do?"

Hearing this, the combat staff officer also panicked, facing an enemy armed with a radio proximity fuse, night vision system and radar, ordinary fighters rushed over and sent to death, so the combat staff officer said the same words as Kurt and Adson: "Or, let's go back first?" ”

"No!"

Lieutenant Colonel Huntinger shook his head and refused without thinking about it, and then tapped the command console in front of him with his hand, frowned and thought for a while, and then said word by word: "This time the goal is beyond our capabilities, immediately contact the United Nations Forces Command in South Korea......"

Three minutes later, when the combat staff officer was Colonel Huntinger, Huntinger put on the headphones, but after only listening to one sentence, he bounced up from his seat and immediately replied respectfully: "Yes, General Ridgway, I am Huntinger, the chief of staff of the Fifth Air Wing, and I will introduce you to the current situation of my Fifth Air Wing......

Huntinger was able to communicate with the Supreme Commander of the US forces stationed in Korea as soon as possible, but Song Tianming was not so lucky, or more precisely, he did not have good equipment to use, and after several attempts, he was unable to get in touch with the logistics department of the Volunteer Army in Pyongyang because of the lack of power supply.

In the face of such a result, Song Tianming could only sigh helplessly, the power of long-distance communication equipment is particularly large, and the electricity consumption will inevitably be much more; if it is fine in peacetime, the most basic power reserves of the train air defense artillery system that is trapped in place and has experienced repeated fierce battles have been exhausted.

There is no way, who makes the equipment in the whole system all a big tiger that eats electricity, not to mention the Song-9A radar, the mechanical shooting command instrument also uses electricity like running water, that is, the infrared night vision system above, although it uses much less electricity than the air defense searchlight, but it is also much larger than ordinary equipment.

In addition, there is no continuous power supply of the steam engine in the locomotive, and several power distribution equipment are all lost, not to mention contacting the rear, even if the lighting in the carriage is maintained, it is a little reluctant!

"Gotta get the train moving again!"

Song Tianming, who took a deep puff of cigarette, did not feel the ease and joy after the victory in the war, but became more and more dignified, because he knew that the closer he got to the front line, the more dangerous it was, and perhaps the US military aviation would retreat because of tonight's battle, but who could guarantee that they would not make a desperate bet?

Song Tianming knows this truth, and Jiang Zhengdao, who is also smoking a cigarette next to him, doesn't know that they are all people who have experienced bloody storms on the domestic battlefield, and if they don't have a basic sense of crisis, they can still survive until now? It is estimated that the grass has grown several times on the grave.

It is because Jiang Zhengdao understands what Song Tianming means, only when the car is moving can the power be provided, and when the car is moving, it can rush to the front line as soon as possible, and if the car is moving, the damaged railway in front must be repaired, but this time......

"The amount of work is not small, I'm afraid it won't be completed in a few hours, look at the current situation, I'm afraid that it will be dawn every two hours, so your old Song still has enough spirit to protect this batch of freight materials!"

Jiang Zhengdao took a deep breath of cigarette, and a sincere smile appeared on his tired face, so that the dangerous situation was said by him as usual and did not feel half uncomfortable, but Song Tianming knew what it meant during the day.

Yesterday they had a mountain tunnel as cover, but now they are in the alluvial plain of the Imjin River, a plain with no danger to defend!

"Hey~~ I said you're Song Tianming, aren't you usually quite straightforward? Why is it that today's mother-in-law and mother-in-law, the matter is so decided, we will do whatever it takes to force the road out, you know to ensure that all the supplies must be sent over, after all, the front line because they can survive more than 100,000 people! ”

As he spoke, Jiang Zhengdao snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, immediately patted Song Tianming's shoulder, jumped off the car, and just said loudly before disappearing into the night: "Don't worry, I won't die, who made us the biggest railway soldier!" ”

……

While Song Tianming and Jiang Zhengdao discussed countermeasures, Huntinger's side also set the tone, so the originally decadent Huntinger regained confidence again, and at this time, Ridgway's undoubted voice came from the communication microphone:

"Remember, no matter what, you have to stop this batch of Chinese logistics materials for me, you must know that this is related to the strategic direction of the entire Korean War, and it is more about the interests of the United States of America, execute it, my dear colonel, if there is really anything, I am all responsible!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Huntinger was even more excited than beating two catties of chicken blood, his face turned red and he answered, and then picked up the aviation command communicator of the Fifth Wing and ordered loudly: "Order the second echelon to prepare for takeoff, this time we will pay for it with blood......
