Wei San: "I'm afraid it's not the worst!" ”

Liang Xingchu glanced at Wei San deeply: "That's true, the worst thing is not the 170,000 enemy troops, but the four Iowa-class battleships!" ”

In the early morning of March 2, 1951, the sun did not rise because the east was obscured by clouds.

Under the gloomy sky, the soldiers of the 38th Army were in full swing to prepare, according to what Liang Xingchu told Wei San, the enemy would not only appear 170,000 landed infantry, but also four Iowa-class battleships to provide support, and the four battleships were Iowa, New Jersey, Missouri and Wisconsin!

In addition, it is certainly inseparable from the figure of carrier-based aircraft, I don't know if there will be an aircraft carrier, if the aircraft carrier also joins, then the 38th Army will not only face artillery fire from the sea, but also have to pay attention to whether there will be bombs dropped overhead.

Liang Wei and the others stepped out of the air-raid shelter and walked towards the coast.

Liang Xingchu: "How much do you know about battleships?" ”

Wei San lowered his head and thought deeply, and said softly: "Not a lot!" ”

In response to the impending offensive, Liang Xingchu urgently ordered troops to deepen trenches and anti-aircraft fortifications along the way.

Wei San told Liang Xingchu that the firepower released by the battleship was definitely not to be underestimated, and the firepower provided by one battleship could suppress them, let alone four!

This time the U.S. forces are menacing, although Jiulong Stream is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it can't withstand the destruction of the four battleships, and when the time comes, it is estimated that the altitude of Jiulong Stream may be reduced by a few meters because of this battle.

The two of them looked west from the top of Jiulong Stream, and 300 meters away was a beach paved with yellow sand, and the waves washed the golden sand one by one, and then the US landing ship would appear from there.

Looking at the turbulent sea at this time, the gentle sea breeze should make people feel calm, but at this time, everyone in the Jiulong Stream will not feel calm, not only not calm, but also very depressed.

The source of this depression is because the US military has begun a counteroffensive, and the intelligence personnel can provide limited information, I don't know how much the US military has planned, as far as we can know, the US army wants to cut off the retreat of the volunteers and trap the volunteers to death south of the 38th parallel!

In other words, the U.S. military wants to open an opening through the Kowloon Stream, and then 170,000 people will form a machete and slash at the retreat of the volunteers!

If the 38th Army alone is a unit to defend Jiulong Stream, it is really difficult for a strong man, with more than 30,000 people to deal with 170,000 people, and the other side still has ferocious ship-based firepower to provide cover, then it will inevitably be another vicious battle!

Liang Xingchu informed Wei San of what happened in logistics, and the first thing he could understand was that the supply of the Volunteers would be more difficult in the future, and the only thing to be thankful for was that the arsenal was established in North Korea, so as not to cut off the ammunition supply of the Volunteers, which was also thanks to Wei San's suggestion.

There is no need to worry about ammunition, but what about food?

Weapons are indispensable for war, but food is indispensable!

With the current food of the 38th Army, it can last for seven days at most, and if there is no food for these seven days, then they will only be hungry.

It is not only the 38th Army that is on the front line, but it is roughly estimated that the number of volunteer soldiers in Korea is about 1.3 million, and how much food does this 1.3 million people consume every day?

If this problem cannot be solved, then the plan of the Volunteer Army to occupy Seoul is basically hopeless.

No matter how brave and fearless the volunteer soldiers are, they still have to eat?

When Liang Xingchu thought of this, the General Headquarters of the Volunteer Army had already formulated a logistics support plan overnight, and the train couldn't go, but people could always go, right?

So after Mr. Peng reported the situation, he mobilized millions of people from China to North Korea to provide logistics support.

Overnight, hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of cattle came from across the Yalu River, and eight manpower transport teams were formed in a very short period of time!

These people and cattle have become new blood to supply the front line, although they are not as fast as vehicles, but it is better than nothing!

The people carried the horses, and sent bags of flour and bags of biscuits to the front line little by little.

Just when Shiji and the mobilized people were full of enthusiasm and vowed to send food to the front line, the US army's battle plan began.

The first layer of resistance encountered by the convoy was that all the bridges to be passed along the way were blown up, and you must know that the rivers that the convoy needed to pass through from the country to the front line were the Qingchuan River, the Datong River, and the Linjin River, three large river basins.

And these three river basins have now become an obstacle to the transportation team, flour and biscuits can not see water, the US military's vicious plan directly increased the difficulty of transportation more than two times, what is even more frustrating is that the US military not only bombed the bridge, but also destroyed the main transportation arteries, which also directly led to the transportation team to deliver a supply The time required to extend it several times!

told Wei San about the current situation, and Wei San frowned, just like when he first met Liang Xingchu before, he was also thinking about a problem.

The question is, do you want to fight Seoul?

In fact, if the U.S. military does this, it may not be able to starve the volunteers to death, as long as the volunteers choose to retreat, the problem of supply will be solved.

But judging by Shiji's determination, Seoul is determined to win, otherwise he would not have launched a convoy of this size to supply them.

If Seoul must be fought, then it is necessary to consider how long it will take for Seoul to be defeated?

How long can the current grain be enough for a million troops on the front line?

Now this choice is extremely critical, in the current few days, the volunteers will not be hungry, but Seoul is the top priority of the US army, it is by no means able to be captured overnight, once the battle is a protracted war, it will not take long, and the volunteers will definitely face a hungry situation within ten days.

It's not easy to fight, and it's even harder not to fight!

At that time, the negotiations were very vigorous, and if they withered now, it would have a huge impact on future battles, which not only had an impact on the psychology of the fighters, but also caused a very serious impact on public opinion in the international community.

Liang Xingchu: "Do you think we should withdraw?" ”

Wei San looked at the sea and thought for a while before saying, "That depends on what purpose we are for!" ”

Liang Xingchu: "What is your purpose?" ”

Guardian: "No compromise!" ”

Liang Xingchu: "I knew you wouldn't admit it, tell me, if you have any good ideas, the enemy is coming soon!" ”

Wei San raised his hand and pointed to the sea and said, "Since the biggest threat to us is the battleship, then we will blow it up and sink it first!" ”

Liang Xingchu shook his head with a smile: "It seems that you need to rest for a while, you have worked hard enough during this time!" ”

Wei San also laughed: "Since the commander doesn't believe it, then leave it to me, but I still have to get through this day!" ”
