Chapter 352: Van Vliet's ammo

Out of this hole, no one knows that these hundreds of people are plotting to seize a giant warship with a displacement of 55,710 tons, this idea is very crazy!

I can't find a better word to describe them than crazy.

With a crew of 1,000-1,800 on board, the USS Missouri was not only numerically advantaged, but also familiar with the ship to allow them to return fire after a surprise attack.

This is a group of bold people, but also people who dare to think and dare to do!

Not to mention that the US military would not have thought that anyone would dare to go to the battleship, even their own people would not have thought of how shocking their ideas were!

In the afternoon, the sky began to become cloudy and rainy.

The battle still didn't happen, and the GIs on the beach had already been transported back, because there was plenty of time, and they just had to wait.

The plan of starving the volunteers to death is not something that can be completed in a day or two, and similarly, the volunteers will certainly not immediately withdraw to the 38th parallel, and whether to fight Seoul or not has become a matter that both sides are considering.

Shiji means that the fight is to be fought, but the logistics must be stabilized before the fight, otherwise it is likely that the million-strong army on the front line will lose its combat effectiveness.

Li Qiwei considered that he wished that the longer the volunteers dragged on, the better, and what he implemented was a plan that would have greater advantages the longer it took to break the will of the volunteers, and the advantage of the severed tail plan was to use hunger to break the will of the volunteers, and then there were only two ways for the volunteers to go, either to retreat to China or to starve to death in Korea.

Li Qiwei's idea is right, but now it is no longer winter, there is always something to fill his stomach after entering spring, I am afraid that Li Qiwei will have to wait for a while to see the results of his plan.

Due to the different purposes of the two sides, the battle situation has temporarily entered the stage of ceasefire, although small-scale battles occur from time to time, but they cannot shake the overall situation, and there is one person who cannot fail to mention here, that is Van Vliet!

After Van Vliet was promoted to commander of the Eighth Army, he immediately put forward the remark of "winning by fire", what is winning by firepower, which can be seen literally, and he also left a term in history "Van Vliet ammunition"!

"Van Vliet attrition", Chinese name "Van Vliet ammunition capacity", a kind of firepower winning theory, means to invest a huge amount of ammunition at any cost to carry out intensive bombing and artillery bombardment to carry out strong suppression and devastating strikes against the enemy, with the intention of quickly and efficiently annihilating the enemy's effective forces, making it difficult for them to organize an effective defense, and minimizing the casualties of our personnel.

At 6 o'clock on March 3, 1951, after Van Vliet took over, Major General Ravna, commander of the 2nd US Division, was ordered to start attacking the hills occupied by the 24th Army, the 983 heights, with all the firepower of the division (126 medium and light artillery battalions and 72 medium and heavy mortars). Although air support was suspended due to the rain that was falling at the time, the word "very intense" was used to explain the shelling because Commander Ravna had laid down the policy that "there would be no limit on ammunition during this attack."

The artillery and mortar positions of the 24th Army and the People's Army on the heights were completely covered with the smoke and dust of the explosion, making it feel as if there was no one alive left.

What made Van Vliet dumbfounded was that under such a fierce shelling, they still did not take the 983 heights, the battle always began with hope, and ended with Van Vliet's roar, the battle since the day he said "no limits", he himself did not expect that it would take a full 9 days to take this hill!

Regardless of how Van Vliet frantically vented the shells, the special combat team had already decided on a plan to capture the battleship, and tonight was the time for them to board the ship!

On a rainy night, there is nothing more suitable than a sneak attack in such weather, at least the sound of the rain can drown out the sound of them boarding the ship.

After the plan was decided, everyone in the special combat team calmed down from the excitement, and the laughter and scolding could no longer be heard in the cave, and it became extremely quiet.

Fascination is the same as death, but at this point, they seem to have become consent!

The reason why they didn't speak was not because they were afraid, but because they were accumulating their murderous aura like Wei San.

Wei San drew his saber and gently sharpened it with a grinding stone to sharpen it.

Lightning and thunder, murderous night!

The beast is about to be released from the cage, isn't it too bad to have a hippie smile at this time?

In the evening, the rain became heavier, which increased the possibility of the special combat team, and Wei San went to the headquarters to report Liang Xingchu's own plan.

Wearing the raincoat of the American army, Wei San walked into the headquarters and saw Liang Xingchu lying on the marching bed with his eyes closed.

Wei San didn't plan to wake up Liang Xingchu, and when he turned around and was about to leave, Liang Xingchu closed his eyes and said, "You think I'm asleep?" ”

Wei San turned back and saw that Liang Xingchu had turned over and sat up.

Walking to the table where the tea jars were stacked, Liang Xingchu picked up the tea jars and said, "Tell me, what do you think!" ”

Wei San told his plan, and Liang Xingchu frowned when he heard it: "You really want to go?" Isn't it too risky to do so? ”

Wei San: "I know it's a big risk, but if the battleship doesn't retreat, we will only suffer a bigger blow!" The sacrifice in the morning must have been a lot, right? ”

Liang Xingchu sat down and said, "Well, I know what you said...... I'm worried that you won't be able to come back. ”

Wei San didn't know why Liang Xingchu suddenly became sentimental, isn't he usually quite resolute.

Wei San: "Commander...... I'll try to bring them back alive! ”

Liang Xingchu stood up again, patted Wei San's shoulder with a tired face, and said, "I want to come back alive!" ”

Wei San made a grimace and saluted: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!" ”

Liang Xingchu smiled: "You kid! Go ahead and show the stinger to your enemies! ”

Wei San left the headquarters, he understood that Liang Xingchu was reluctant to him, reluctant to sting, in the eyes of outsiders, this mission is nine deaths, in fact.... Wei San himself thinks so.

Which step you go is what step, anyway, your life was picked up for nothing, for the motherland you once loved, fight!

Back in their cave, the special combat team began to prepare, preparing the props for this killing, first of all, the flying tiger claws necessary when boarding the ship, and the explosives package can't see the water, which needs to be properly handled (I didn't figure out how to waterproof, if you know, you can leave a message, *** can only be useful for firearms).

In addition, flash grenades are indispensable, especially in the small space in the cabin, which can play a greater role!

There is also Weisan who smashes an entire mirror and dispenses each person a lens, which is useful when fighting around the corner!

Ropes, throwing knives, hidden arrows, bullets, and grenades are all prepared, and this time they are going to complete a task to capture the battleship independently, a task that is so exciting that people can't help but tremble.

We're going to have battleships!
