Chapter 109: March of the Collapse of the Allied Forces
The Allied forces in the name of democracy and freedom finally launched a full-scale attack on China, but the course of the war was far from the strategic prediction of the RAND Corporation of the United States. Not only were several task forces that attacked the Chinese naval base completely annihilated by a large number of anti-ship missiles before they could reach the attack position, but the ground offensive launched through Vietnam was completely thwarted by the Chinese that had been prepared for a long time, and suffered heavy losses.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the surprise attack on North Korea did not take any chances, and the North Korean defenders in the port of Busan were even more vulnerable than the intelligence suggested, and were completely routed by the Allies soon after the battle began, and the North Korean army did not even organize a decent counterattack. It's just that when the landing force advanced in depth, it encountered a lot of trouble!
The terrain of the DPRK is extremely complex, with most of the country being high mountains and deep valleys, and the whole territory is not only mountainous, but also densely vegetated, with forests and shrubs accounting for three-quarters. The undulating terrain creates a large number of natural obstacles and hidden areas, with cliffs like blades, extremely steep slopes, and narrow valleys that twist like snakes. The roads are little more than rough trails, and the lower hills are covered with shrub pine forests. Such a pitfall terrain is not only not conducive to the combat performance of the allied forces, which are mainly mechanized, but also very vulnerable to sudden sneak attacks by North Korean soldiers hiding in the shadows.
With the cooperation of absolute superiority and the strong continental navy and air force, the Allies overcame terrain restrictions and quickly took Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. However, the rear supply lines were repeatedly harassed by the guerrillas, making it impossible to obtain sufficient combat materials for further operational planning. The commander of the Allied operations was Licett. When Han Li racked his brains about how to ensure logistics and supplies, the Chinese army was already quietly ambushing around Pyongyang, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time!
The Allies were almost unprepared and were attacked on all fronts by more than a dozen divisions of the Chinese State. After more than 10 hours of fierce resistance, the Allied forces were able to finally get out after spending almost half of their combat strength. However, the Chinese army was not very comfortable, because the ambush circle suddenly appeared two special forces not mentioned in the intelligence, so that the perfect total annihilation plan failed, not only took in two full regiments of armored troops and an integrated infantry regiment, but also allowed at least more than half of the Allied troops to successfully escape from the encirclement.
In the next few years of fighting in Korea, the only new troops of the two allied forces that were put into formation inflicted considerable losses on the Chinese troops! Among them, the pacifier self-propelled field artillery regiment is simply a war artifact that can be attacked, retreated, and defended! This tank, equipped with a double-barreled 150 mm telescopic cannon, in artillery mode, made the Chinese attacking troops miserable with their precise and ferocious strikes. Its perverted range and power are even comparable to short-range tactical missiles, and 360-degree all-round firepower coverage is simply a nightmare for the Chinese army! There isn't much that can withstand a salvo of cannons, whether it's fortifications, buildings, or armored formations, they'll be blown to pieces!
To make matters worse, the vehicle's extremely low noise and high-speed all-terrain traversal capabilities also allowed the weapon to shine in several subsequent Allied counterattacks, with at least one-third of the casualties of the Chinese forces in the entire battle caused by its shelling. It's a pity that its number is still too scarce, and the cost is too expensive, and it can't be replenished in time after the battle damage. In addition, the shortcomings of this weapon are also very obvious, not only can the locking light released by the holographic scanner when aiming can be detected by the enemy and dodge the artillery bombardment at high speed, but also without the cooperation of other friendly and neighboring troops, once the enemy's heavy tank is close to the two 7.62mm "Gatling" machine guns equipped with it will not play any role at all in the battle, this kind of multi-barrel machine gun is still effective against infantry and light armored fighting vehicles, but it has no effect at all in the face of tanks with heavy armor protection.
In addition, the fragile armor of this vehicle is also a big problem, but compared to these, it is the difficulty of air control that is the real life of this all-terrain artillery. It was this fatal flaw that caused it to be hunted by a large number of fighters of the Chinese Air Force in the following battles and suffered heavy losses! By the end of the Korean War, there were very few self-propelled field artillery pieces left that had caused huge losses to the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and it was difficult to have much impact on the subsequent war situation.
Another special unit was the Frozen Corps, an experimental unit that inflicted considerable damage on the Soviet rebels in the Battle of Murmansk, but at that time the new weapon was still in the experimental testing stage at the local Institute of Future Science and Technology, so the number of troops was extremely limited. But this experimental force of less than twenty people worked wonders in the battle of the Defense Research Institute!
With the rapid freezing effect of the "Frosty" Cryo Cannon, he turned nearly all of the Resistance's early ground assault units into glittering ice sculptures. From the unprotected infantry to the armored fighting vehicles, nothing can escape the clutches of the Cryo Legion! The frozen troops, immobile and extremely vulnerable, were bombarded into fragments all over the ground with the cooperation of a small number of pacifier self-propelled field artillery at the Institute of Defenses.
Had it not been for the Resistance's massive Kirov airships intervening in time to break the stalemate at the risk of being shot down by the dense frozen towers surrounding the Institute, there would have been none of the Rebels' attacking forces left. Although in the end, the research institute of the future company was completely destroyed by the rebels, but the price paid was indeed a little bigger!
The situation of the Chinese army in Korea was very similar to that of the Soviet rebels, except that the Allies deployed an elite frozen army of hundreds of men in Korea. Its combat capability and the half-experimental unit are not at the same level at all! The Frozen Corps is not only superior in the frontal battlefield, but also has a strong amphibious operation capability by virtue of the quick-freezing effect of the frozen cannon and the tundra foot protection, and the power jet pack equipped with individual armor has the ability to fly short distances, making it like a fish in water in the complex terrain of North Korea, and has become the best weapon for anti-guerrilla warfare!
In this way, the Korean guerrillas in southern Korea, which had caused great trouble for the Allies, were gradually wiped out by these frozen regiments that were extremely adaptable to all terrain. By the end of the Korean War, the guerrillas in the southern region had almost ceased to exist. However, this unit is as expensive as the resting self-propelled field artillery, and it is difficult to equip it in large quantities, making it difficult for this highly combat-effective auxiliary arm to realize its full combat potential.
Although Hua suffered a serious defeat in the first combat operation, the losses suffered by the Allies were even greater! Not only did the other side's strategic intentions completely leak, but the tug-of-war with China made the financial pressure on the Allied forces even more serious, and excessive consumption led to the deterioration of the economic situation of the Allied countries, and the current governments of many countries were even on the verge of collapse in the continuous demonstrations and continuous riots! For this reason, the Allied top brass had to discuss how to deal with this serious domestic crisis at the EU headquarters in Brussels, but the initial wartime policies and resolutions reached at the meeting could not fundamentally solve this dilemma. After all, through the issuance of a large number of government bonds, the monopoly of finance, the expansion of tax revenue, and the increase in the issuance of paper money can temporarily delay the deterioration of the situation.
Eventually, these wartime policies will inevitably lead to rising inflation, rising prices, boiling public resentment, and riots, which will lead to complete chaos and madness in the already unstable domestic situation of various countries. If this were to happen, the Allies would have to impose a more stringent system of military control and a wartime system of national supply. Relying on the autocratic rule of the army and the secret police {FBI, CIA} in the violent organs of the state to forcibly suppress the already acute internal contradictions in the country will lead to an even greater vicious circle, and if this war drags on for a long time or is finally lost, then the collapse of the Allied forces will be inevitable!
In order to avoid this worst-case outcome, the Allied forces could only speed up the course of the war, and in the following meetings, they formulated more detailed and comprehensive war policies and measures to ensure that the war could be won as soon as possible. To this end, the Allies politically used the official media around the world to propagate the justice of the war, advocate the theory of national superiority, divert internal contradictions, deepen the hatred of the people, make good promises to all strata of society, and fool the people into actively participating in the war. Economically, the government has been increasing its revenue and taxes, printing companies are overloaded with money, and a large number of government bonds are being sold off cheaply through financial institutions, so as to increase government revenue and reduce fiscal deficits. In the military, we will increase military input, purchase more weapons and equipment, operate all military industrial enterprises at full capacity, make conscription compulsory, increase the number of domestic military police units, strengthen the domestic news supervision system, and so on. At the same time, it has actively contacted Asian countries that have had contradictions with China in the past (even the current enemy, the Empire of the Rising Sun}, and used comprehensive military assistance as bait to try to pull them onto their chariots and become cannon fodder and vanguard in the war against China.
It's just that the Allied calculations are very good, but it is difficult to implement them in practice. First of all, the people of various countries reacted very violently to this resolution of the government, and there were continuous demonstrations. Second, there were also differences of opinion within the governments and deep partisan divisions, which made it difficult for the resolution to be passed quickly in the parliaments of the Allied countries. Again, the rest of the world did not buy the Allied propaganda, and there were few responders. The last Asian countries that dared to accept the invitation of the Allies
Before the arrival of the Allied Foreign Minister, he had been well educated by the Chinese with a rain of missiles, and finally gave up his intention to take revenge. Of course, Vietnam, a country that dared to die, was also reduced to rubble in this reminder and returned to the Stone Age.
Under these circumstances, the Allies had no choice but to bite the bullet and implement these authoritarian policies. It is a pity that the battle between Europe and the Soviet resistance has been eroded and unable to return to the sky, and the war between the Korean theater and China has also fallen into a stalemate and it is difficult to achieve victory as soon as possible, so they have to focus on the battlefield of the Rising Sun Empire.
Soon the Allied commander in charge of the Rising Sun Empire's peacekeeping operations, Gillis. Pis reached a consensus with General Darang, who had already done so. It is a pity that under the mediation of China, the Red Army and the Soviet rebels had already reached a peace agreement on territorial disputes, and the Red Army exchanged half of the territory occupied by Sakhalin Island for the Soviet rebels to send troops to jointly fight against the Allies on the Japanese islands and the remnants of the Rising Sun Empire. Soon, the commander of the rebels in the Far East of the Soviet army, Xana, with the authorization of the rebel headquarters, launched a full-scale attack on Sakhalin {Sakhalin}, and the defenders of the Rising Sun Empire, who were caught off guard, were no match for the Soviet rebels who had been prepared for a long time and had high morale. Soon, the Soviets relied on the powerful firepower of the Far East Fleet to gain sea supremacy in the region, and then cooperated with the garrison on the island and the strong attack formation composed of more than a dozen smaschers who rushed from the sea to successfully crush the remnants of the Rising Sun Empire.
Commander Shana, the supreme commander of the Soviet Union who was defeated and captured in the Soviet-Chinese War, was depressed after being repatriated by Huaguo, and she was accompanied by wine all day long, and she was still very indulgent when she was drunk. Uh, it's far away! However, the victory of this war allowed this girl, who was already a little broken and broken, to find her once broken self-confidence. So the commander, who was skilled in air warfare, began to attack the Rising Sun Empire and occupy the last dignity of the Rising Sun Empire, which has always been the seat of the imperial tomb of the Emperor of Japan. However, the battle on the Oki Islands did not go very well, and the two detachments sent by Commander Shana were attacked by the Allied pacifier's self-propelled field artillery that had occupied favorable terrain before they could reach their targets. When the remaining troops landed, they were attacked by two steel ronins that had been waiting for a long time, and these artificial assistance robots were very effective against the Soviet armored forces. Equipped with an energy weapon, the Fluctuating Broadsword, which could easily cut and chop the strongest tank and combat vehicles of the Soviet army, soon the armored troops landed by the Soviet resistance army were wiped out like never before, and the infantry units were slaughtered by the ground forces that the Rising Sun Empire had prepared for a long time.
The alliance between the Allies and the Rising Sun Empire came as a surprise to Commander Xana. However, the situation on the battlefield was always changing rapidly, and the timely arrival of the Red Army fleet reversed the strength of both sides in an instant. Relying on the perverted firepower of four quadruple 350mm energy naval guns and three VX missile launchers possessed by several Super Fortress {Sea Mode}, the Red Army quickly reduced the main base of the Allied forces to the northeast to rubble under the cover of a large number of razor cruisers and Tengu fighters. Not only did this attack destroy the only Allied main forward base here, but it also eliminated a squadron of Century bombers and a fully equipped Allied aircraft carrier battle group in the base.
The ensuing battle became much easier, and it took less than ten minutes for the Super Fortress to clear the threat of all pacifier self-propelled field artillery on both sides of the river, relying on the devastating blow of the God's Breath-1 ion beam cannon possessed by {Air Mode}. The Red landing force occupied the observation posts on the southern island, clearing the island of all Allied and Rising Sun forces. The Soviet Resistance also took the opportunity to dispatch all naval fleets and air forces to launch a large-scale attack on the base of the Rising Sun Empire in the south. Although the defense fleet of the Rising Sun Empire that rushed to block the attack put up a desperate resistance, the difference in numbers was too large to stop it. When the last wounded Admiral-class battleship was overloaded with engines and a Rebel Dreadnought-class cruiser perished, the entire fleet was wiped out.
After destroying the last of the Rising Sun Empire's mobile forces at sea, the landing force quickly landed on the island under the cover of a dense network of fire woven by a large number of double-edged helicopters and more than a dozen dreadnought cruisers rushing in the sky. After a fierce battle, relying on a small number of elite commandos urgently transferred from the European battlefield, the rebels easily wiped out the few defenders on the island and completely destroyed the entire base.
The battle finally ended an hour later, when the last two steel ronins guarding the Emperor's mausoleum were shattered into a barrage of missiles fired from the double-bladed helicopter. Subsequently, the Red Army got their wish and carried out the global live broadcast of the blasting of the imperial tomb that they had dreamed of. And this battle also completely shattered the last spiritual pillar of the Crown Prince Tatsuro to revive the empire! At the same time, the Rising Sun Empire, which had long been weakened, suffered the greatest humiliation since the death of Emperor Fang Lang in battle! Under these circumstances, Crown Prince Tatsuro, who had lost his mind, agreed to the request of the Allied side for a coordinated attack on Vladivostok to open a second front. It's just a pity that this expedition was doomed to its tragic fate from the beginning!
As soon as the expeditionary fleets of the Allies and the Rising Sun Empire set off from the port, the Red Army and the Rebels had already received detailed information about each other's attack plans. So a sneak attack on the expeditionary fleet unfolded in the shadows! The coalition forces were initially operating very smoothly, and the Soviet outposts were destroyed by the coalition forces almost without resistance. However, when the troops then advanced into the interior of the city, they were met with unexpected stubborn resistance. The Allied intelligence mistakes put the two coalition forces in a bitter battle. With a large number of Iron Werewolves and multiple Super Fortresses of the Rising Sun Empire, the coalition forces barely blocked the coordinated attack of the Soviet rebels by land, sea and air. It's a pity that the Red Army fleet that followed completely cut off the return route of the two coalition forces, but this was not the worst, because the Iron Werewolf Legion and Super Fortress that Darang relied on suddenly lost control and began to attack their own troops and allies. As for why this is the case, I think the host controlled by Noah in the Angel Group can explain everything that seems unreasonable.
In this kind of melee in which the two sides attacked and blossomed everywhere, the allied forces of the two countries were almost completely annihilated. Although the two sides used all the stunts at the bottom of the box at the last moment, the Rising Sun Empire used imperfect balloon bombs to win the squadron to carry out special attacks. At the same time, in order to protect the naval fleet, unreliable single-point defense drones were also used to repair and suicidal defense warships. And the Allies have also used it, including Frozen Doomsday {although they are all their own people!} Noah, this undisciplined guy. }, space-time exchange, space-time abyss, teleportation time bomb and a large number of other means of support, but unfortunately still unable to reverse the unfavorable war situation. Even with the use of superweapons on both sides, it has not been possible to fundamentally break the encirclement.
If it weren't for Darang and Allied Commander Gillis. Pis has adopted remote command, and I am afraid that there will be no suspense in becoming a prisoner. And this battle also completely broke the balance of strength in the Japanese archipelago, making the Red Army, which was not very strong, the leader of the three forces. Gaining the upper hand in the ensuing battle, he finally eliminated the remnants of the Rising Sun Empire two weeks before the end of the Korean Campaign, killing Crown Prince Tatsurang and driving out the Allied occupation forces.
And the reason why Dalang ended up with the tragic fate of being defeated and dying in battle is that he can't complain about others. If this guy hadn't eliminated all the few capable commanders in the empire for the sake of power, maybe the defeat of the Oki Islands wouldn't have happened. If he had not lost his mind and acceded to the Allied request for an all-out attack on Vladivostok, perhaps he would not have lost almost sixty percent of his combat strength in the ensuing battle. There are not so many ifs in war, and one misstep becomes a thousand hatreds. People are responsible for their own bad decisions!
A year later, the Chinese Expeditionary Force finally forced the last 100,000 Allied troops to the port of Busan, where they could be wiped out at any time. Under the premise of lack of air and sea supremacy, if the siege of Busan is lifted, only the firepower base deployed in the United States at Mount Rushmore will have a chance to survive! Originally, the Allied Marshal Bingham opposed this proposal, but his proposed strategic bombing plan suffered an unprecedented failure on the Chinese mainland. Because of the thousands of Allied warplanes sent on missions during this time, few of them were able to return home safely. The skies of China seemed to have become a no-go zone for the Allied air forces, and no matter how many escort fighters were sent and how strong the bombers were, the result would be the same.
In the end, after several discussions at the top of the Allied forces, it was finally decided to use this terrifying mass killing weapon! However, for the first time, the final warning issued by the RAND Corporation was collectively ignored by the Allied leadership. And this neglect also became the beginning of the Allied army's transformation from strength to total collapse!
