Chapter 352: An Ineffective Attack

Fang Liang once visited the factory complex of Baiyun Factory as an intern with his mentor, and had contact with Bai Yi during this period, but he did not expect to meet in North Korea, a foreign country, after joining the army.

It's just that he was urgently transferred to the southbound train group with the 3rd Battalion of the Railway Corps, although he saw Bai Yi with the intimacy of meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign country, but the two didn't have much contact time, so at the beginning, Fang Liang didn't understand what the infrastructure madness meant.

I thought it was a joke that Bai Yi joked with him, so I didn't pay much attention to it, until I saw the construction speed of the commanders and fighters of the 3rd Battalion of the Railway Corps, and Fang Liang really felt the true meaning of the infrastructure madness.

If one person can do three hammers and one road spike, and four wrenches to fix a rail, it can still be said to be a skilled talent, but if a group of people have this skill, it is completely crazy, and this is only an entry standard for the 3rd Battalion of Railway Corps.

The veteran who joked with him before didn't even need to hold the road spike, and two hammers could hit the road spike into it accurately and steadily, both the angle and the strength were as accurate as the machine.

There is also a warrior as big as him, who holds a wrench in each hand, and as long as the rails are firmly fixed, he immediately opens the bow left and right, and can twist the fixed bolts into place in just a dozen seconds.

As for the soldiers who carry the sleepers and steel rails, they have a unique method, moving forward in unison, calmly, seemingly laborious, but actually do not use too much effort, and more importantly, they do not need to fix, connect and debug behind the pipe at all, only need to go forward along the railway line, which is equivalent to extending the road.

Seriously, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Fang Liang couldn't believe his eyes, and he could only be shocked and admired in his heart!

However, in this world, the person who did not believe in his eyes was not alone, and at a high altitude not far away, the Fifth Air Wing, who was sitting on a B-26 bomber to assess the combat situation on the ground, and the commander of the 57th Brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Gomez, was also staring at the boss with two eyes, so that he rubbed his eyes several times with his hands, and carefully examined the optical equipment used for observation for a long time, and then he was convinced that he was not mistaken.

But it was precisely because of this that he was speechless in shock, you must know that the air strike campaign codenamed "Operation Avenger" commanded by Colonel Huntinger himself was not launched by the command of the Fifth Wing as soon as he patted his head, as early as a few months ago, Colonel Huntinger, who was also the chief of staff of the Fifth Wing, had already begun to formulate a detailed battle plan.

In order to make the air raid operations more accurate, Colonel Huntinger invited several mathematicians, statisticians, and civil engineering experts from China at any cost to conduct an extremely detailed analysis and study of the maintenance capability of the volunteer engineering units, the destructive power of the US army's attack, and the basic elements of railway construction based on the situation of mathematical models.

In the end, it was concluded that if the Fifth Air Wing launched more than two waves of uninterrupted attacks with three attack squadrons in one attack wave, with an interval of 40 minutes, the damage to the railway line on the alluvial plain of the Imjin River would be devastating, and even if the Chinese engineering troops had the world's first engineering equipment and technical engineers for railway construction, it would take at least three months to complete the field railway.

However, the problem is that the backward Chinese engineering units are not even equipped with all the vehicles used for transportation, let alone advanced engineering equipment, and as for the technical personnel, there are even fewer technicians, and there are even many officers and men who cannot even read a word.

It was precisely on the basis of the "meticulous" research and the assurances of these American experts that Colonel Huntinger formulated this set of plans full of confidence, and Lieutenant Colonel Gomez, who was then the deputy chief of the operations department of the Fifth Wing, participated in the formulation of the entire plan.

It was that others may not know the results of the experts' assessments, but Gomez knew best, and it was because of this that the results in front of him shocked him from the depths of his soul.

You must know that the 57th Air Brigade under his command, as the absolute main force of this "Operation Avenger", is like the most sophisticated machine, and the battle plan of the executor Huntinger has continued two waves of air strikes since 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and according to the calculations of previous experts, the damage caused to the railway line is completely devastating, so that even the hope of repairing it is almost zero.

However, what fell into his eyes was a straight section of the railway in good condition, whether it was the roadbed, sleepers or steel rails, lying undamaged on the ground, and to be honest, if he had not participated in two waves of air raids and witnessed the rain of bombs falling on the tracks, Lieutenant Colonel Gomez would have even thought that his pilots had actually hit the section of the tunnel mouth.

More importantly, the construction speed of the Chinese engineering troops has not stopped, but has been continuing, just a few minutes after Gomez took the opportunity to circle, the Chinese engineering troops below advanced nearly a hundred meters, if it were not for a bend that slightly delayed the advance of the Chinese engineering troops, Gomez believed that the speed of the Chinese would be faster.

But it was the bend that had just been completed, which made Lieutenant Colonel Degomez's face a little hot, as if he had been slapped a few times, there was a hot feeling, there was no way that the bend was like the corner of the Chinese's face sneering, and he put on a posture without scruples to mock Gomez and others in the sky!

“FU~~CK!”

After a few laps around the plane in silence, Lieutenant Colonel Gomez finally couldn't help but burst out, and immediately grabbed the radio intercom on the side, and said quietly: "Colonel, I swear, if I believe those experts in my life, I will be a lump of cow on a Texas farm, damn, even the fart of the drunks in the bar is more reliable than those sanctimonious guys!" ”

Being in the base, he was about to go to the front line to command the third wave of attacks on Colonel Huntinger, when he suddenly heard such words without a clue, and suddenly felt that the second monk was confused, he clearly asked Gomez to check the effect of the first two waves of attacks, why didn't he receive the result, but let the expert lie down inexplicably?

Fortunately, the confusion on Huntinger's face did not last long, and he was so shocked by Gomez's next words that he almost thought that something was wrong with his ears, and it took a long time before he asked, "Are you sure that the first two waves really didn't work?" ”
