Chapter 383: Blood-stained Seoul is hard to find
After the special combat team regrouped in the bank, they withdrew from the main search area, and the US military below will definitely search for them throughout the city, but Seoul is the largest city on the Korean Peninsula, covering an area of about 605.25 square kilometers, accounting for 0.6 percent of South Korea's area, and there are highland forest areas such as Guanqiu Mountain, Triangle Mountain, and Inwang Mountain in the city, and it is really difficult to find out 100 or so people in such a large city.
As long as the special combat team wants to hide, the US and British troops will never find them.
In addition, Korea was the royal capital of the Joseon feudal period, and Gyeongbokgung Palace, which covers an area of about 126,000 pyeong, was built in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and later the Japanese established the Joseon Governor's Palace in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace, which once again became the political center of the Korean Peninsula.
Such a big city, not to mention the more than 300,000 soldiers of the US army, even if it is doubled, it will only occupy a corner of the city.
Therefore, the special combat team hid very easily, and when the US military searched the huge Seoul, they didn't know that it would be until the Year of the Monkey.
It was nearly early in the morning, and the vigorous battle outside the city came to an end for the time being, and both sides suffered a lot of losses after last night's battle, and it was not known how Shiji would give the order, whether to choose to continue the attack during the day, or to hold the line that originally belonged to the American army, and wait for the night to come.
However, after a night of fighting, the soldiers were exhausted, especially this decisive battle, everyone was fighting desperately, if there is no rest, it is difficult to say what kind of results the second battle will achieve, because of the food and grass, this is really difficult to guess.
The U.S. military also had a hard time saying that they wanted to recapture their defensive line during the day, but once the tanks ran out of fuel and the cars couldn't drive during the battle, the mechanized troops that were proud of their speed might not belong to whom.
Don't rush to the line of fire all the way, and then there is no fuel supply, isn't that equivalent to sending tanks to the enemy for thousands of miles, so the US army is also waiting, waiting for the fuel supply to arrive, and this period of time before dawn will be handed over to the 38th Army and the US army's transport troops.
After waiting for most of the night, finally waiting for the enemy, the soldiers of the 38th Army were full of spirits, and blocked the enemy's transport troops with a tenacious attitude, forcing the American troops to send troops from behind the defense line to support, but as soon as they moved, they were restrained by the volunteers, and the war that had just stopped happened again, but this time the scale was much smaller, and there were only a few armies fighting in total.
The night was about to leave, and dawn was coming soon, but Shiji still hadn't given the latest order, because how the order was given would depend on whether or not he could successfully stop the American supplies.
Everyone knows that the 38th Army has to face the enemy's frantic attack, just to meet the transport troops, the US military dispatched more than 300 tanks, fighters and bombers to more than 3,000 sorties, and the brutality of the battle south of Seoul is no less than that of the front line, but the US army did not take advantage.
Bombers and tracks took the lives of thousands of soldiers, but they also left behind hundreds of enemy tanks, thanks to those home-made anti-tank mines, on the plains, this kind of home-made anti-tank mines really made the soldiers in the tanks hate, and they had to storm the defense line of the 38th Army, and they had to clear mines, but when they cleared their own mines, those crazy Chinese pounced and killed their own engineers.
After a few charges, no sappers dared to come up to clear the mines, and those tank soldiers hated it, but they didn't dare to press the minefields, and the battle was very hot.
It wasn't until dawn that the 38th Army, which had fought fiercely for two hours, had a chance to rest, because the American troops withdrew, and they abandoned this convenient route and instead transported fuel from the second port that was far away.
The U.S. military did not fight because the fuel did not arrive, while the volunteers did not fight because there was no food, and they were waiting for the second batch of food to be delivered so that they could continue to advance in the next step.
So, it was very strange that there was not a single gunshot during the day.
When the sun set, the hungry soldiers waited for food to be replenished, and the American troops were also waiting for fuel to be replenished, and the two sides were ready to fight again......
Back in the city, because the whole city is under martial law, the United States and Britain are still searching for them, and the special combat team did not do anything during the day, but when they were avoiding the search, they let them touch most of Seoul, understand the deployment of the defenders in the city, and by the way, they found some food in the city to fill their stomachs.
From the moment he entered Seoul, Wei San never planned to go out, because there was still an enemy of the special combat team in the city, the Red Devil Gomande, who only heard of his name and did not see his shadow.
Hiding in an artificial lake in the city, waiting for night to fall, tonight, the special combat team will go to the Governor's Palace, because they have not found any traces of the Red Devils during the day, not even the first unit, then it is likely that they are hiding in the Governor's Palace.
Tonight they thought about observing the situation in the Governor's Palace, and if they had the chance, they would go inside, there were really many big fish there!
When it comes to the Governor's Palace, we have to say that the underground shelter, the Governor's Palace was built by the Japanese in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace, so the underground shelter was also dug out under Gyeongbokgung Palace, and its area occupies most of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and there are seven floors in the shelter, which has a large number of food reserves, transportation, weapons and ammunition.
It's really impossible to count how many of these underground facilities the Japanese dug up in Korea, but it makes sense for an institution like the Governor's Office to build a shelter.
When the special combat team took advantage of the night to get close to Gyeongbokgung Palace, this place was no longer strange to Wei San, because he had accompanied Han Xianchu once and had a general understanding of the Governor's Palace, but Wei San felt that the design here was not as simple as it seemed, because the last time he came, he found that there were ventilation facilities sticking out of the ground around the Governor's Palace, if it was just an above-ground building, was it necessary to build ventilation facilities?
There must be something strange, but they can't get inside, and they don't know what the mystery is in the underground of the Doge's Palace.
Hiding on the Gwanghwamun City Tower opposite the Governor's Palace Building, the original guards here have all fallen to the ground, and then look at the Renaissance-style five-story building opposite, the building is brightly lit and full of shadows, it was just nine o'clock in the evening, and it was not time to rest, Wei San raised his Enfield and aimed at the building.
