The 331st episode appeared in chaos
Heartfelt thanks to the lazy snake Lao Kai, Zizhu reward!
xiexie y'all!
[331] appeared in chaos one after another
U.S. Army Chief of Staff Omar Bradley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, continued to lean back on the couch and energetically reported to Truman:
"MacArthur said in his report to the Joint Chiefs of Staff that 'as long as you put in two divisions of the U.S. Army, you can keep South Korea.'" I agree with his view, after all, our army is armed to the teeth, we have absolute superiority in any aspect of land, sea and air, and with Japan as a rear base at hand, we have no difficulty in logistical supply.
At present, the commander of the 21st Infantry Regiment of the 24th Division, which was the first to arrive in Korea, was so confident that most of the 21st Infantry Regiment of the 24th Division were World War II veterans, and he threatened that 'as soon as the North Korean army sees us, they will flee in disarray.' 'Hehe, Mr. President, the lads seem to be confident. β
General Bradley continued with a smile: "I believe that under the leadership of General Walton Walker, commander of our newly established U.S. Eighth Army in Korea, it won't be long before we can slow down the offensive in the north quickly. β
Truman listened in a good mood, smiled and asked, "Walton Walker, is this general the 'best bastard of mine' that General George Patton said?" Texans, stout very, with glasses? β
Chief of Staff Omar Bradley laughed, "It's that drunkard guy who everyone calls the Texas Johnny-Walker-alcoholic." He was a tank commander and a strict ruler of the army, and he wandered around the barracks with two loaded pistols all day long. β
Truman nodded appreciatively, "We need a tough guy to take the lead." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Compared with Truman's impression of North Korea on paper, the actual war on this peninsula was much more trivial.
Although the 24th Division of the Eighth Army of the US Army in Japan had already sent the first advance team to North Korea, the subsequent transportation was not smooth. Although the commander of the 24th Division, General William Dean, found enough trucks and distributed the 24th Division to six ports in Japan, he was unable to find enough ships to transport the troops to Korea. It's like rice in a pot, but there's no wood to light the fire.
In desperation, William Dean had no choice but to send a telegram to Colonel Smith: "Don't continue digging trenches in Busan, the main force of our division lacks transport ships, and it will take a long time to arrive." Please head to Daejeon immediately. If you can, try to go a little further north, in short, the closer north the better, and strive to block the main highway traffic of the northern army south. As for where the South Korean General Headquarters you want to know, I asked for a long time, and I didn't figure it out at all, it seems that these sons of bitches have been completely broken up since they lost Seoul, or they don't have a damn General Headquarters at all. I'm sorry, I don't have any more information in my hands, I only know so much, good luck and God bless you and your soldiers. β
After General Dean sent the telegram, he had to start requisitioning scattered civilian ships everywhere and transporting troops to Korea in batches, and he did not know whether the current speed of this kind of ant moving would be able to transport all the 24th Division to South Korea in ten days according to MacArthur's Jihua.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Despite the warnings of the Soviet Union, the younger brothers of the United States decided to enter the war with the grace of the boss, and Britain, Australia, Canada, France, the Philippines, the Netherlands, Turkey, South Africa, Colombia, and Ethiopia, a total of ten countries, six fewer than the 16 countries in history, the United Nations army.
In fact, the United States does not care how many people from these countries come, in fact, the United States only requires the other side to participate in name only. As long as the other country agrees to participate in the multinational force, this achieves the goal of the United States.
The multinational force convened by the United States this time comes from all five continents, and it seems to be very imposing, although it cannot play the banner of the United Nations, it is very Jiashi of the United Nations army. From this point of view, this war will become an international peacekeeping military operation, and it will be enough to put on the hat of maintaining regional peace and security, instead of being accused by the Soviet Union of the unilateral and brutal dispatch of troops by the United States and naked armed interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
The first to arrive was a good friend of the United States, the Royal Australian Air Force, which was fully equipped with American aircraft. It was precisely because of the eagerness to send the joyful kangaroo air force to the Korean Peninsula that the US military could not even take care of its own 24th Division, and dispatched a large number of transport ships from the Far East to Australia. The kangaroos are also very conscientious, and as soon as they come to North Korea, they work at full speed.
"Phil, look at the train parked ahead!" Mag, a fighter pilot of the 77 detachment of the Royal Australian Air Force, informed his squadron leader on the radio.
"Yes, I saw it, what a goal. Pay attention, all the planes, shoot this train that is about to go south with all your might, and kill these North Koreans from the north! Squadron Leader Phil excitedly ordered.
With Captain Phil's command, four Australian Air Force Mustang P-51D fighters roared and jumped down the railway line to the train parked on the platform of the town, and the six 12.7mm machine guns on board the P-51D opened fire fiercely along the backbone of the train!
A miracle happened!
The train carrying nine freight cars actually exploded violently under machine gun fire, and a cloud of mushrooms rose into the sky and soared into the sky! The huge shock wave and updraft generated by the explosion even shook the four Mustang fighters of the 77th detachment of the Royal Australian Air Force in the sky, and the fighters shook violently in the chaotic air current, like small paper boats trembling in the angry waves. Seeing this, the four planes of the 77 detachment hurriedly pulled up and left the scene.
Squadron Leader Phil of the 77th Detachment of the Royal Australian Air Force kept turning his head to look down at the continuous explosions on the ground, and he almost fainted with happiness in his heart! He is deeply proud of his good start.
"It's an ammunition train! What shit luck! That's great! It's amazing! β
Pilot Mag also excitedly shouted over the radio: "Guys, look, this explosion is spectacular!" Even the whole town where the train stopped was blown to the ground! Haha! Yo heh~~~~~~~"
As the four planes completed their report to the command center on the battle situation and were on their way back to the flight with great ambition, the airborne radio suddenly sounded strangely after a burst of electrical noise.
ββ¦ Hiss... Hiss... Chirping... Detachment 77 Phil Squad! Detachment 77 Phil Squad! Stop the attack now! Stop the attack now! I order you to return at once! Right away! The anxious voice on the radio was a call from the Royal Australian Air Force's Busan headquarters through a relay telecom.
Phil held the joystick and proudly reported in a strange British accent from Queensland: "The attack is complete, we are on our way back, please prepare champagne, we have done a big job!" β
"Damn! Phil! You bitch-raised blind bitch! You are attacking a South Korean army ammunition transport train! Soul light! Your entire town has been blown to the ground! There were more than 200 civilians living in that town. β
Suddenly, the four wallabies on the fighter jet, who were originally very happy, were suddenly silent......
It's been a long time.
Squadron Leader Phil just came out of his mouth; βholyshitβ¦β¦β
Since the U.S. military's military strategy after the war is increasingly biased towards the priority of the air force, they hope to crucify the North Korean army in place through air blockade, and then launch a counterattack after the army strength continues to increase. This was also a big reason why the 24th Division was trapped in Japanese ports.
As the number of air forces coming to North Korea increased, the problem of accidentally injuring friendly troops became more and more prominent.
Three days ago, after being strafed by the US military several times in a row, the South Korean tank column could not bear to shoot back, and shot down and 'captured' an American pilot...... The US military attache stationed in Suwon to supervise the ROK army complained that in just one day on 9 June, the ROK army's Suwon defense line was strafed five times by US fighter jets......
And this time, the Australian Air Force's great might really embarrassed the American pilots. The nine-car ammunition train, which continued to explode all night like fireworks, became the headlines of major Shijie newspapers for a while......
As the saying goes, a mountain is still a mountain high......
It didn't take long for the US pilots to save face in this oolong game, and during the ground interdiction operation on the Osan Highway, the US fighter pilots went forward one after another, hitting more than 30 South Korean military trucks and setting them on fire, and more than 200 South Korean soldiers were killed on the spot......
Half a month later, Major General William Dean, who had finally moved to Daejeon, felt powerless in the face of this chaotic situation.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
It is said that after Colonel Smith led the US advance team into North Korea, he was sent by William Dean to the north to carry out the interception mission just after two days of earthwork in Busan, braving the pouring rain and bedbugs all over the ground.
Colonel Smith had no choice but to immediately take 600 men from the 1st Infantry Battalion on a train and rush to the Osan area in the north, which is located south of Suwon and is the only place for the KPA to go south.
After the arrival of Colonel Smith, the 1st Detachment of the 52nd Field Artillery Battalion also arrived north from the road to make peace with the 1st Infantry Battalion.
Lee Pyong-hae, a colonel officer of the South Korean Army who cooperated with Colonel Smith to defend the Osan defensive line, looked at the field artillery battalion of the US army with envy, and he was completely convinced, and he praised the adjutant beside him: "The United States is really powerful!" Just the first detachment of the 52nd Field Artillery Battalion, an establishment of only 108 soldiers and six 105mm howitzers, is actually equipped with 73 trucks! Oh my God! Six trucks pulled artillery, ten trucks pulled soldiers, and the remaining 57 trucks were loaded with ammunition and fuel, and the rest of the thirty trucks were actually loaded with all kinds of supplies! There were blankets, whiskey, biscuits, chocolates, luncheon meat, and even sixty cases of beer! Compared to such an army, the army of the Republic of Korea is simply a beggar!
I think that such an army is invincible, and we will definitely win! β
Two days later, the first ground battle of the US military in North Korea began.
