Chapter 297: The U.S. Army's Counteroffensive

But the establishment of a US military base around Daming is not something that can be done by talking, this thing is indispensable at the right time, place and people, at least in the short term, unless Truman wants to directly turn his face with Yang Feng, which is also impossible. Since this is the case, then Chevron can only make a little sacrifice, even if they are contributing to the country, it is a big deal to compensate them in other aspects, otherwise those capitalists will also not agree.

In short, with the behind-the-scenes efforts of the Mi government, Chevron still pinched its nose and signed a contract with Imperial Oil, selling the Minas oil field they are operating, as well as the Duri oil field that has not yet been put into production, to Imperial Oil for 100 million US dollars. But this does not include the oil pipeline and port facilities leading to Duri Port, if Imperial Oil wants it, give them an additional 30 million, this money is actually the protection fee they gave to Yang Feng in the early stage, they paid the protection fee, but in the end, the oil field was robbed by Yang Feng, and the protection fee has to be returned.

Be kind!

Yang Feng didn't entangle with them much in this matter, and paid the money very happily, so far Minas Oilfield and Dury Oilfield, the two largest onshore oilfields in the East Indies, officially fell into his hands, and Chevron was completely expelled from Southeast Asia, of course, ordinary people will not know the inside story of this kind of thing, they only know that Imperial Oil has made a big business, and the price of oil at Daming's gas station has been reduced.

But in the eyes of those who know the inside story, this is a real bombshell.

Even the people of the United States can force them away, the strength of Yang Yuanshou is simply amazing, what kind of company is Chevron? That is standing at the top of the pyramid of power in the United States. It is a top predator who is qualified to decide the political situation. Let's be honest. Companies of this level all have the power to destroy the country.

However, in front of Yang Feng, he can only get out in a humiliating way, which means that in Southeast Asia, he has become a real master.

Of course, Yang Feng was not interested in the awe-inspiring eyes of the outside world, and after the oil field was in hand, he immediately fulfilled his promise to the Republic of Java. The original benefits became four or six open, and the Republic of Java was also exempted from all taxes on imperial oil, including tariffs on the export of oil and tariffs on the import of oil field materials, which was the same condition in the Chevron era, and as for the rest, it was how to clean up the Aceh army there.

In fact, Chevron was waiting to see Yang Feng lively at this time! Because tens of thousands of Aceh soldiers had already burrowed into the jungle, it was clear that Imperial Oil would have to face the guerrillas in the future.

However, their hopes were disappointed.

Because Yang Feng pulled the wives and children of these defeated soldiers directly from Aceh, loaded a helicopter and set up a loudspeaker to shout around, those who came out to surrender were amnesty, and went home to reunite with their wives and children. If you don't come out, you can wait inside to die!

In the end, there was nothing to say about the result, all the Acehnese soldiers who had routed into the jungle. Under the greeting of his wife and children, all exhausted came out to disarm the Ming army, and then went home with his wife and children to be Shunmin, and then a large number of oil workers drove into the oil field, took over the full set of facilities left by Chevron, and directly began to pump oil into the oil pipeline and continuously transported it to Dumai Port to be loaded onto oil tankers and sent to Daming.

"It's not easy to see my excitement."

Yang Feng said lightly.

Although this incident seriously affected his relationship with the people of the United States, he couldn't pretend to be innocent and cute all his life, it was time to show his fangs, otherwise his subordinates would not agree, with the soaring economic and military strength over the years, coupled with the invincible record, Daming is full of enthusiasm for external expansion.

In particular, the younger generation has grown up, and this generation has been instilled with the idea of Chinese nobility since childhood, and instilled the idea that all the people around him used to be Ming courtiers, and basically regarded the whole of Southeast Asia as the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Coupled with the hatred of foreigners left by their ancestors, they have long looked at Chevron and these guys unpleasantly, and even some radical ideas are dissatisfied with the Führer's policy of being too soft on the outside world, for example, the rhythm of this war is very dissatisfied with the radicals in the army.

So sometimes Yang Fuhrer also has to make some achievements to satisfy the appetite of the young Zhuang faction in the army.

Of course, including the appetite of those Ming capitalists, these guys are not a good thing, because of the economic prosperity, the soaring industry, the thirst for energy and raw materials is increasing day by day, and their most coveted thing now is to go out and grab land, oil, and minerals, and then it is best to grab them in their factories without spending a penny, and turn them into all kinds of industrial products in exchange for countless dollars and pounds or something.

As their spokesperson, Yang is also under pressure, and he must work hard to satisfy his country's growing appetite.

"Führer, the counteroffensive of the Mi people has begun."

Hu Hao leaned over to him and said.

Yang Yuanfeng was in good spirits and immediately sat up straight.

This is already four battles, it should be said that the volunteers did not fight well in this battle, especially the battle of Topingli is an eternal pain, but the current volunteers are not in the original history, I don't know what result they will fight this time.

It's worth looking forward to!

Han River.

Different from the original history, because the start of the war was postponed, it was basically winter, especially after the volunteers hit Seoul, the time was already spring, and the wide river blocked the southward movement of the volunteers after the Han River thawed, and the two sides actually confronted each other with the Han River as the boundary during this time.

After more than a month of calm, the fighting here has finally been rekindled.

The US bombers in the sky kept pouring bombs and condensation bombs on the ground, and countless cannons of various calibers on the ground frantically sprayed flames, especially the heavy artillery shells of the M40 level, which were densely piercing the sky, creating terrifying fire clusters on the positions of the volunteers. On the surface of the river, there were countless rubber boats, full of allied soldiers rushing to the north bank in the water column of the explosion of artillery shells, and even some river gunboats and amphibious tanks appeared on the river, engaged in fierce artillery battles with the large-caliber cannons on the positions of the volunteers.

At this time, the firepower of the volunteers was not inferior to that of the American army, and the only limitation was the insufficient supply of ammunition, but after accumulating for more than a month, at least in the short term, they were not short of shells.

The 160 mortar, which is still their heaviest weapon, the 130 cannon provided by the Soviets, the Katyusha rocket launcher, the 107mm rocket launcher provided by Yang Feng, the large-caliber mortar made by Xinhua itself with high-pressure alloy steel pipes, and all kinds of light and heavy artillery shelled the enemy at a density that was not inferior to that of the US army.

Around these artillery, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of various calibers were pointed at the sky, tracer lines of fire weaved a net of fire, intercepting coalition fighters in the sky, and even the MiG-15 of the Volunteer Army appeared in the sky to fight to the death with the sabres of the US army. However, at this time, it was already difficult for the MiG-15 to gain an advantage, and it was even a little powerless, because the vast majority of the sabres participating in the war had been replaced with Sabre F, and these two classic models had become their respective main forces on the battlefield.

At the same time as the aerial fighting and artillery battle, in the endless trenches and machine gun forts on the north bank of the Han River, countless volunteer soldiers were freezing the shells and bombs falling above their heads, and kept shooting at the enemy troops on the river.

Up to now, there are not many Mosiners in the volunteer army, most of them are SKS, mixed with part of the AK47 used as a submachine gun, this kind of fierce automatic rifle, is the most feared weapon of American soldiers on the battlefield, although its accuracy is not as good as Garand, the range is not as good as Garand, but in the battle between infantry, the rate of fire that far exceeds Garand is the magic weapon to win.

At this time, Stalin's support for Comrade Li can be said to have spared no effort, the bombing of the Japanese country, the stolen Sabre D in Hokkaido, these two things have actually put him and the United States on the brink of war, the Soviet people's B29 of the four rice people, all equipped with atomic bombs in Europe to warn each other, fortunately, so far both sides have maintained enough restraint, but the whole world has actually been shrouded in the clouds of nuclear war.

In order to be able to hold down the people of the United States in Goryeo, Stalin basically responded to Comrade Li's requests, and gave all the arms he could give, especially in terms of army weapons, many weapons that the Soviet army was equipped with a small number of weapons, which had already appeared in the hands of the volunteers at this time, and even included the production lines for manufacturing these weapons, especially the SKS, which was used as standard equipment by Comrade Li, and even began to build factories at this time.

Coupled with the good things given by Yang Feng, the equipment level of the volunteer army has actually reached the level of the sixties, and even stronger in some aspects, and the coalition soldiers who are attacking on the Han River at this time must have a deep feeling about this.

"Damn, are we on the Somme?"

In the rear headquarters of the coalition forces, Li Qiwei looked at the casualty figures that were constantly reported on various fronts, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The mess left by his predecessor was too bad, especially during the confrontation across the Han River, the Volunteers built a large number of fortifications on the north bank from Seoul in the east to Yeoju in the west, and it was not easy to break through the Han River defense line when the firepower could not be superior at all, at least when the Volunteers had sufficient ammunition.

Fortunately, Li Qiwei didn't care too much about the casualty figures, because it was not the US army that forcibly crossed the Han River, but the South Korean Army, and the US army just provided them with fire support, of course he didn't care about the casualties of these guys.

"Now it's up to General Van Vliet."

Li Qi said with a slightly expressionless face. (To be continued.) )
