Chapter 187: Giant Mortar
At this time, the chaotic situation in Pyongyang, the mysterious disappearance of Weisan and others caused a large number of American troops to gather in the southerner position of Pyongyang, where the soldiers were still searching for the culprit of the attack on their artillery camp and airfield, and the sound of battle sounded in the north of the city.
It was precisely this part of the soldiers who were not in the predetermined position, and the 112th Division could somewhat relieve some of the pressure, just after the battle began, the soldiers who were still entangled in the whereabouts of Wei San and others were transferred out of this position, which also made Wei San and others have no worries.
Some of the remaining GIs continue to guard the artillery here, and they will continue to use it to destroy the invading enemy, they just have to wait for the artillery to come.
More than 20 122mm guns were still idle, and five giant mortars scattered in different locations in the city were the first to shoot the amazing shells.
This giant mortar was called "Litol. Gowitt Mortar".
The Littoldovit mortar, also known as the "Little David", is the largest caliber artillery made by the U.S. military during World War II, and it was secretly designed and manufactured during World War II for the Allies to break through the German Siegfeld line head-on.
The barrel of the mortar weighed 653o4 kg, the caliber was 914 mm, the gun mount weighed 7256o kg, and the warhead fired weighed about 17oo kg.
It has a chassis with a length of 4.8m and a width of 2., as well as a high and low, directional sight composition. The box-shaped chassis is first removed from the vehicle through an inclined plane and placed in a pre-excavated soil pit, and then reinforced.
The installation was then completed by the gun body towed by a special tractor modified by the M26 and fixed to the base along the slide rails of the base.
The weight of the shells was up to g of explosives, and 97okg of projectiles. Loaded by the muzzle, the gun weighs 6o tons, the firing range is 1o, ooo meters, only 1 was built in World War II, and it did not have time to be put into actual combat, and now it has as many as five, and it is difficult for the volunteers to imagine what kind of blow they will suffer in the face of such a terrifying cannon.
Turning back to the General Headquarters of the Volunteer Army, Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai was also furious after receiving the telegram, and the US military really still used this kind of indiscriminate means, and there were generals of the North Korean Army among the high-ranking people with General Peng, and Choi Yongjian, deputy commander of the North Korean Army, immediately responded: "We can't delay any longer, I suggest that we immediately send troops to Pyongyang, and I will order our air force to provide you with a certain amount of fire support!" ”
North Korea has air forces, and now is the time to take advantage of them, President Peng immediately gave instructions and ordered the whole army to launch an all-out attack centered on Pyongyang!
In another hour, the sky will be light, and then the volunteer military will become more passive, they will be completely exposed to the enemy's various types of firepower, you must know that Pyongyang is close to the coast, and Pyongyang's location is already covered by the US ship's firepower, plus the many artillery in Pyongyang, this battle, the result will inevitably be that the volunteer military will suffer heavy losses, but do they have a choice?
Obviously, there is no choice, once the Yankees are shameless, they can do anything, even biological and chemical weapons such as poison gas bombs are used, and now they are almost ready to ship the atomic bomb, right!?
These dogs' R's!
War is in the service of politics, and when weapons of mass destruction such as poison gas bombs are used, they are placed at a moral disadvantage, and if they violate the Geneva Conventions, they will attract worldwide opposition or sanctions or armed intervention, and the United States will certainly be on the side of injustice.
But at any time, there is one thing to one thing, and there are people watching what the US military does, first of all, the Soviet side, and the Soviet side is what the United States is most afraid of, because the Soviet Union also has an atomic bomb, and the style of the Soviet Union has always been unaccustomed to anyone, if the United States dares to transport the atomic bomb to North Korea, then the Soviet Union will dare to drop the atomic bomb on the American mainland, it is so capricious!
You know, the Soviet Union also supported the North Korean government!
Therefore, the support of the Volunteer Army is not only North Korea, besides, the total strength of North Korea is less than one-tenth of the Volunteer Army, and it is similar to the situation of Syngman Rhee, all of whom are bystanders.
Pyongyang has already started a war, and the Soviet Union and the United States have also started a war on the phone, denouncing the inhumane behavior of the United States, in the period before dawn, whether it is from the collision of the military line, or from the confrontation between countries, there is an unprecedented collision, one is not good, the Soviet Union may also send troops to North Korea, at that time, the United States will definitely have to formulate relevant countermeasures, really at that time, the small Korean battlefield, will really become the beginning of the third world war!
On the South Korean side, the airport in Daegu City is waiting for MacArthur's decision, and the US military has a total of three airports, Daegu, Pyongyang, and Seoul, even if the airport in Pyongyang is not temporarily destroyed, the remaining two airports can still throw poison gas bombs, but due to the distance problem, there will be a gap in the time for loading poison gas bombs at these two airports, and after this time, these two airports are also ready to take off, just waiting for the order before takeoff.
But they would not have thought that MacArthur was now being reprimanded by Truman's bad words, the Soviet Union had a lot of pressure on the United States, and the same MacArthur's unauthorized use of prohibited weapons also made Truman very angry, MacArthur did not inform Truman in advance, this is MacArthur's personal meaning, he is the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and the multinational coalition forces are all at his disposal.
Hung up the phone, MacArthur's face sank like water, and finally he still stubbornly ordered the air force to continue to carry out the predetermined plan, in MacArthur's heart, he had not really sat down on the matter, he was reprimanded, and the training was also trained, so it was better to sit the matter down completely!
World War III? Hum! I really thought I was scared!
MacArthur is crazy, and he is not afraid of whether the incident will really lead to World War III, all he wants is victory, as for how to win? What means to use to win, that is not in his consideration, this old man just wants to keep his reputation, human life is not as valuable as a grass to him.
After receiving the order, in the US Air Force base, groups of fighters and bombers gathered together and flew into the night sky, because the airfield in Pyongyang was responsible for the bombing front, and the fighters that took off flew to the rear of the line of fire, and the bombers taking off from Seoul were in charge of China's border cities, so that the line of fire was temporarily normal.
After the bombers took off with the 112th Division's flank of the Korean People's Army as the main force to break through the city, they quickly carved a hole in the weak point of the US defense line, and Pyongyang, occupied by the US army, was already in danger!
