After the 38th Army marched out and arrived at Gimpo in the afternoon, after exploration, the 38th Army chose the location 50 kilometers west of Seoul, the reason why it chose here is two reasons, one is that this is the only favorable terrain that can be found within the predetermined range, and an intermittent mound has thousands of meters, but the height of this mound is unsatisfactory, not even 200 meters, this kind of terrain also makes Liang Xingchu laugh secretly, at least this mound can leave room for the 38th Army.

Another point, behind this mound is a tributary of the Linjin River, which is convenient for taking water in wartime, and the role of water naturally does not need to be said, the soldiers can have no food, but they must not lack water, and they can make do with the battle without eating for three days, and you have to try without drinking water for three days.

Speaking of three days, in fact, Shiji has already given the final plan for the capture of Seoul this time at this morning's combat meeting, and Seoul must be occupied within a week!

The time given by Shiji is a week, which sounds like a lot of time, if you don't care about sacrifices, it's absolutely no problem to take Seoul in a week, but if the price paid is too great, it will outweigh the losses.

After all, the Zhiji issued an order, and the real implementation was the various armies, which commander was willing to watch his soldiers go to death, the situation forced no way, if there is a choice, I believe that no one wants their soldiers to fill with their lives, and the era of the national army is no longer there.

Therefore, this is a test of the commander's command ability, what ability he has, what tactics he has, and then use it, the commander-in-chief is only responsible for arranging the troops, and the local war is still to figure out its own way.

A small water source, seemingly inconspicuous, may be inadvertently benefited when a war starts.

Whether it is used for drinking, or used to extinguish fires, or to replace circulating water for water-cooled machine guns, it is inseparable from the water source, and it is always more convenient to get water nearby than to run several miles to get water.

When the army arrived at the position, it began to disperse its forces around the mound, digging trenches and building fortifications, and after the tens of thousands of troops dispersed, they took control of the road within a five-kilometer radius around it.

What makes people wonder is that the 38th Army has been here for a long time, and the fortifications have been repaired, but the US troops still have not sent a single soldier, and the soldiers who are hiding in the trenches with guns can only see the US reconnaissance planes constantly flying in the sky, and not even a single artillery battle with a sound has been dropped.

This has to make people guess, what is the US military doing, not playing cards according to common sense?

In normal times, after the US military discovered the movement of the 38th Army, it must have bombed indiscriminately to stop the progress of the volunteers marching or building, but what happened today, is the reconnaissance plane here to supervise whether they are lazy?

Not only are the soldiers puzzled, but other armies are also in a similar situation, and the cadres at the division level are also speculating about the purpose of the US military.

Of course, this idea is impossible, although the intelligence department did not understand the conspiracy of the US military, but Seoul has already entered a state of first-class combat readiness at this time, Seoul is the capital of South Korea, what is the purpose of the US military sending troops to North Korea, is it not to bully North Korea under the banner of helping South Korea, and to provoke New China?

Naturally, there is no need to doubt the importance of Seoul to the US military, but why have they become so cowardly? Just watching the volunteers gain a foothold around Seoul?

This has become a fact, because the million-strong army has already surrounded the north of Seoul, and only the moment the general offensive is launched, a million lions will pounce on Seoul and take the city that the American army sees as the "Macedonian of the East".

The U.S. military's plan soon came to light, and some scouts reported that the U.S. planes had been spraying white powder in the sky since they began to deploy their defenses, and the number was extremely large, and there were thousands of sorties, and most of those powders fell into rivers, streams, and lakes.

The report mentioned that hundreds of soldiers in a certain army had diarrhea, vomiting, fainting in severe cases, coughing up blood, etc., and when the first report was delivered to Mr. Peng, before Mr. Peng made an expression, the second report was then put on the conference table, followed by the third, and the fourth.....

The battle was about to start, and before the war began, no less than 3,000 people mentioned in the report alone could not go to the battlefield, and what is more serious was that this number seemed to have only just begun.

After learning what was wrong, Shiji hurriedly ordered all the troops to stop any water collection operations, and if they must use water, first collect the water in the water bottle before the soldiers set off.

In half an hour, there were already 30 reports, and the number mentioned had also exceeded the 5,000 mark, which is nothing compared to millions, but the question is when they will have safe water to use.

After finding the root cause of the problem, we learned from a comprehensive report that the US military used bombers to spread hundreds of tons of poison, and the pollution caused directly turned the three main waters of the Qingchuan River, the Datong River, and the Linjin River into poisonous waters, leaving the volunteers without a water supply for a short period of time.

The problem of food has not been solved, and taking water has become a new trouble, and I have to say that the hands of the US military are really poisonous, and it is not for the volunteers to fight, nor is it if they do not fight.

If we fight, we will unleash the whole body, and it will inevitably turn North Korea into a big melee in which millions of people are strangled, and once the fight starts, it will not end in a day or two.

I don't feel anything now, if it drags on for a day or two and there is no water to drink, will the volunteers choose to retreat, or will they take Seoul at any cost?

How do you look at it, choosing to retreat now is the most correct behavior, but the US military is not attacking now, and it is clearly saying: "Don't you dare to fight, right?" Retreat obediently! ”

It is not so easy to retreat, what the US army is waiting for now is the withdrawal of the volunteers, and then they don't need to attack, they just hang you like that, sooner or later one day hang you, Li Qiwei's plan has begun to bear fruit.

Unexpectedly, the powerful firepower of the US army did not make the volunteers timid, and the water, which they usually don't care much about, has become the biggest difficulty faced by the volunteers!

The military order has been delayed, the armies are anxiously waiting, no soldier is willing to choose to retreat at this time, because they can't withdraw, Seoul, to put it bluntly, it is no longer as simple as a city, at this time both China and the United States have passed the previous period of attrition, the US army consumes artillery shell money, and the volunteer army consumes life, like this kind of consumption, China and the United States are not able to consume for a long time, is human life worthless?

Therefore, the two sides seem to have acquiesced to the fact that Seoul will be a crucial battle on the Korean battlefield, which will be a decisive battle of life and death, and victory or defeat!
