Chapter 407: Notice of the Congress of Bloodstained Seoul
After the U.S. military began to counterattack on all fronts, the U.S. government no longer expected to clean up the mess militarily, not to mention that the Chinese troops had new food replenishment, so they began to discuss withdrawing the South Korean troops and some of their citizens to the American Western Samoa Islands 4,000 miles away as soon as they had to do so.
Rebuilding the Republic of Korea in the South Pacific, because if it continues to develop, the American GIs will chase their butts and jump into the sea, and the battle of Seoul has set off an indescribable panic throughout the West, and the allies almost unanimously asked Truman if the United Nations forces could not fight, why not hurry up and evacuate the damned Far Eastern Peninsula.
However, at this time, Truman's unbearable blockage was not the only thing.
In the face of repeated defeats in the Korean battlefield, what should the United States do? Almost everyone was a little overwhelmed, and Truman remembered a telegram that MacArthur, the former commander of the coalition forces, had sent to Washington.
In his telegram, MacArthur stressed, as always, that if we do not send more troops to them, or if the flames of war are burned to China itself, we will not have so much strength to defend both Korea and Japan, and China will inevitably become the victorious side in the Korean War!
The senior officials of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff once expressed great dissatisfaction with this telegram, because MacArthur knew that Stalin's tens of thousands of tanks were still in Europe, and if the United States were to fall into an all-out war with China at that time, it would be tantamount to falling into a trap carefully prepared by the Russians.
It is a pity that the armies of China and North Korea have already entered Seoul, and although Li Qiwei has repeatedly said that he will drive the Chinese troops out of Seoul, the United States still denies Li Qiwei's illusion of war, and the United States has lost too much money on this small battlefield in Korea, and they do not want to spend a huge amount of pension for this after the war!
The first result that the National Assembly discussed was to "abandon Seoul"!
Having determined this, they moved on to the re-establishment of the Republic of Korea in Samoa, and Congress had no illusions about the defeated coalition forces.
And the main reason for this result was that the commander of the Eighth Army, Van Vliet, fired 160,000 shells in three days!
The most intolerable thing was that these shells were only fired at a hill, and in just one week after he was promoted to commander of the group army, the United States alone used 360,000 shells and aerial bombs, and the Eighth Army itself accounted for half of them!
The failure of the pumpkin bomb finally made this resolution unanimously passed!
If you continue to fight like this, even the most powerful country with the economy will be in debt for a long time!
It's still the same sentence, those who fight wars only fight wars, and those who settle accounts only settle accounts!
Those who fight wars don't care how much money they will consume, and those who settle accounts don't care how many people will die!
When this order was given, Ridgway simply thought that he had misheard, and seeing that victory was about to wave to him, the Congressional gang of wine bags and rice bags actually let him withdraw from Seoul!?
This news undoubtedly caused a blizzard in Ridgway's heart, and the heart full of hope froze, and Ridgway sent a telegram to Truman at that time, and the telegram mentioned that Congress would give him another three days, and then he could play a triumphant song.
The request was quickly replied to by Truman, and Boss Du was also physically and mentally exhausted, and he had no desire to continue in the muddy pit of North Korea, so he simply rejected Li Qiwei's request.
"No!! No!! No!!! Li Qiwei, who was holding the telegram, shouted.
You are the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, no matter how big the officer is, there are people who can manage you, and Li Qiwei's roar filled the underground combat conference room with a secretly happy atmosphere.
These people who came to help the field can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
They can understand Li Qiwei's unwillingness, it can be said that Li Qiwei has not made any achievements since he took office, he has only prepared for this battle, and it cannot be said that his plan is wrong, but this time has been a little longer, and the effect is too slow!
For the Chinese all the way forward, what they need is a victory, so a small victory is good?
At least it's worth the shells you fired, right?
But the result? Not once!
They can only feel sorry for Ridgway, and it is difficult for him to take over MacArthur's class to clean up this mess!
.......
Ridgway is no better than MacArthur, there is not much honor for him to consume on the part of Congress, he can do it against Congress, Ridgway can only obey Boss Du's order and begin to withdraw from Seoul.
And at this time, Syngman Rhee did not know the news and waited in the office of the Governor's Palace to find his stupid son.
The biggest change is naturally the area where the two armies are fighting, and Wei San and they are about to change positions to continue sniping tanks, but they find that the tanks have stopped one after another, and the battlefield has become a little weird and inexplicable.
The veteran asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Why are all the tanks of the American devils stopped? ”
Wei San also stopped his plan to change the sniper position, saying: "Maybe the Yankees are going to withdraw from the city!" ”
The veterans, including Ma Youde, were surprised and asked, "Why!?" ”
Wei San saw that the tank line really stopped, and began to cover his troops and began to retreat, Wei San said with certainty: "That's right, they want to run!" ”
Chen Zilu ran up from downstairs and said with a happy face: "See, the US troops have withdrawn!" ”
Ma Youde replied: "Of course I saw it, but I don't know why they retreated so suddenly!" ”
Chen Zilu immediately said: "You don't care why they withdrew, don't forget our mission, right, captain?" ”
Seeing Chen Zilu's inquiring eyes, Wei San nodded calmly: "Well, let's chase!" Target, Doge's Palace! ”
Chen Zilu walked to the tattered window and shouted: "Oh hey~ Don't let that old boy Syngman Rhee run away, comrades, chase it!" ”
By the time these words were shouted, the US troops had already withdrawn seven or eight hundred meters under the cover of tanks, and the large troops, who did not know what was going on, were still waiting for orders in place, because they were worried that something big would happen.
It wasn't until Chen Zilu's words shouted out that he heard one shout after another: "Don't let Syngman Rhee run away, chase it!" ”
"Capture Syngman Rhee alive and fight him to the Governor's Palace~!!"
"Chase~!!"
As the American troops retreated, hundreds of thousands of troops began to advance again, and the distance from the Governor's Palace was getting closer and closer!
At this time, it was already a quarter past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the battle had been fought for a whole morning, and the consumption of a million-level collision in one morning was unimaginable!
