The 421st Round: Return to Seoul

[421] Return to Seoul

The sound of explosions from a distance was already faintly recognizable, and a communications soldier hurriedly ran into the headquarters, and he shouted before he could stand up: "Report to the commander, all the positions outside the Gimpo airport have been lost!" The 9th Militia Division has been broken up and cannot connect their divisional headquarters! The reinforced 6th Militia Division has also suffered heavy casualties under the fire of the American army! The terrain is too flat to hold! They asked the command to allow them to retreat! ”

"I can't stand it......"

Cui Yongjian, deputy commander of the People's Army, let out a long sigh.

"Order, the 6th Militia Division immediately retreats to the Ninhwa Mountain position in the northeast of Gimpo Airport, and before retreating, it must completely and completely blow up Gimpo Airport with the American artillery shells they have piled up on the side of the runway! Tell Bai Dayun! Blow the pit deep! To ensure that the US military will never be able to use this airfield again! ”

"Yes, Commander, I'll go." The communication soldier looked at the exhausted Cui Yongjian and replied softly, and then turned around and left with a gentle cat step.

……………………

"Detonate!"

"Yes! Initiation! ”

The sound of demolition commands sounded on the positions of Gimpo Airport, accompanied by the sound of artillery fire and machine guns of the US troops, which was very poignant.

As the demoman pressed down on the blasting rod, the electronically controlled detonator instantly detonated 19 stacks of American-made shells stacked along the 2,000-meter-long and 50-meter-wide runway at Gimpo Airport, each of which weighed six or seven tons.

The explosion shook the ground and even collapsed a hangar riddled with heavy machine gun bullet holes on the side of the airport, and in the smoke of gunfire, the airport was blown into 20 pieces, and from the sky, the entire airfield was completely disconnected like a dotted line.

As a result, the entire Jinpu Airport was completely destroyed. This length, width, and thickness is incomparably suitable for large aircraft to take off, with a load of up to 5.5 tons per square meter, and an international airport that can easily take off and land jet fighters and heavy transport aircraft, and is unlikely to play any role in the short term after falling into the hands of the US military.

Upon hearing the news, Lieutenant General Almond almost fainted in his command.

"These bitch-bitched bastards! These scoundrels! This herd of supplyist pigs! Inform me of the Navy, artillery fire is covered, there are no more restricted areas! Never again! Let these stubborn Yankees go to hell! ”

The communications officer immediately and faithfully sent Almond's exact words to the naval fire support fleet far off the port of Incheon.

Major General Dowton asked cautiously, "General, is there a full-scale attack after that?" ”

Almond squinted at Doudon and said weakly, "Yes, after the Navy began to extend the shelling. ”

Dalton lowered his head and quietly exited Command.

He understood that Almond's previous jihua's scalpel-like elaborate carving to take the Gimpo airport had been completely shattered by now, and the speed at which the North Yankees were destroying military facilities was much faster and more convenient than the attack of the 1st Marine Division.

……………………

Cui Yongjian clenched his fists and held them in front of him like a microphone:

"We are the heroic People's Army, we must hold Seoul, we must turn Seoul into Stalingrad!

It's time! Let the American devils know what is the fate of the aggressor, what is difficult to move an inch, and what hell is!

Every high-rise building, every street, every courtyard here is our battlefield!

All the fighters must fight tenaciously against the invaders with an indomitable spirit, you must bring enough Chinese grenades, which are our most powerful weapons at present, we will use a million explosions to completely bury the American devils and Syngman Rhee's bandit army in Seoul, and we will fight until the ......moment of Zuihou."

With Deputy Commander Cui Yongjian's sonorous speech, radio waves were heard from the headquarters of the People's Army, which reverberated over Seoul.

Yes, since the early morning of 15 August, after 20 days of holding on, the defense line of the Gyeongin Highway has been gradually destroyed by the US troops like peeling onions, layer by layer, and most of the KPA hill fortifications have also been blown to ashes by US naval guns and aircraft bombs, almost every hill has been charred and unrecognizable, and there are corpses waiting to be buried everywhere, and if it were not for dog tags and uniforms, it would have been almost impossible to distinguish between the aggressor and the defender, let alone the South Koreans and the North Koreans.

……………………

"The heroic Korean People's Army declared that Seoul would become the Stalingrad of North Korea, thus going down in the annals of Shijie anti-fascist history, and General Choe Yong-kun, Kim Il Sung's North Korean Defense Minister and Deputy Commander of the People's Army, told our reporters that the aggressors would perish in endless street fighting......"

MacArthur also became agitated when he heard the Chinese radio program "Military Intelligence Decoded" on the radio, and he turned off the radio on McKinley Hill to temporarily expel Hu Guang's voice from his ears.

"Tell General Almond not to care what Seoul will be like in the future, and to open the way with napalm incendiary bombs and artillery shells.

Five days, I only gave him five days, and in five days, I was going to enter Seoul. MacArthur ordered.

"Do you want to notify civilians of the transfer first? What if international public opinion cries out? Colonel Kirk, the military attache in Korea, asked with a frown.

MacArthur shook his head: "This is war, war will always be like this, you never know what will happen."

Tell the C-54 transport aircraft brigade stationed in Tachikawa, Tokyo, that to speed up the pace of transportation, it is necessary to ensure the supply of ammunition for the 10th Army in Incheon. I read Almond's report, and the fighting is very intense, and in order to stop the night attack of the North Koreans, a heavy machine gun team has to shoot 30,000 rounds of ammunition in one night, a full 3.5 tons......"

"Now that our lines of transport are tight, we have requisitioned all the Japanese merchant ships that we can requisition, and we have restarted two large Japanese military factories to produce ammunition for us, and if nothing else, we may need to restart another," said Colonel Kirk. ”

"Then go ahead and do it. You have to tell Washington that it's cheaper to buy bullets from Japan than from home. ”

Next to him, Lieutenant General White, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke: "The shipping route from Southeast Asia to Japan has to pass through the Taiwan Strait, which is very inconvenient, if the Chinese enter North Korea, how should we deal with it?" If the Chinese enter the war, will they launch an attack on our transport ships? The oil, iron ore, sulfur, rubber, and bauxite currently used by Japanese military factories are all transshipped from Malaysia, and if the Chinese implement a strait blockade policy in Taiwan, where will we take the safe route?

You must know that once the sea conditions change, the deep sea area is very dangerous, and if you detour to the sea off Taiwan, there is an extremely deep trench, with a depth of more than 8,000 meters, and ships passing through here, it is not reliable to hit Manila and sail directly to Japan. ”

"Damn! That's another problem! MacArthur paced the McKinley Hill in frustration.

After a few turns, MacArthur took a closer look at the map.

"That distance should be just over 170 nautical miles, and if the Chinese enter the war, take the Manila-Naha route to avoid China, and notify the Seventh Fleet to be ready to carry out Operation Overlord at any time." The North Korean side will be handed over to the Pacific Fleet, and the Far East Command will have the Seventh Fleet to deal with Taiwan's troubles.

After receiving MacArthur's order, Almond covered his face in pain, and only took a moment to remove his hand from his face.

"Five Days ......"

Major General Dotun said worriedly: "At present, the cost of supply by sea and air from Japan to Inchon is very high, which makes us have to fight quickly. ”

General Almond said: "I know, comrades and young men, don't stop for a moment, the northern route will immediately cross the Han River to attack, and the eastern route troops will attack the city south of the Han River with tanks as the lead." ”

"What about Bream Mountain?"

"Fence and hit repeatedly with artillery."

"That's about 20,000 troops."

"I can only give you 10,000."

“…… All right. ”
