Although Commander Cowen did not take advantage of the battle for more than a month, he also brought a lot of threats to the volunteers, especially the tactics of using artillery and terrain at the beginning, which made Liu Hai, the artillery god, feel pressure. However, through a month of fighting, Cowan also discovered some of the situation of the volunteers, in the battle for the two heights of Wusheng Mountain, the U.S. army and the South Korean army paid a huge price to occupy the surface position, but there was no way to deal with the volunteers in the tunnel, and until now Cowan still has no way to deal with the tunnel! However, Cowan found that the Chinese artillery in Wusheng Mountain was very unusual, and his several attacks and plans failed on the opponent's artillery, coupled with the accumulation of intelligence in all aspects, Cowan found that this time the Chinese concentrated an unprecedented number of artillery in the Wusheng Mountain area, and these artillery were the pillars of the Chinese defense!

Cowan believed that if he wanted to give the volunteers a fatal blow, he had to destroy the opponent's artillery, and as long as there was no artillery support, the volunteers would not be able to hold their positions under the rain of bullets. In order to be able to strike at the artillery of the Volunteer Army, Cowan submitted a report to Van Vliet requesting that Colonel Wells, who was now serving as an artillery officer in the United States, be transferred to Korea to serve as the commander of the American artillery at Gosung Mountain. Colonel Wells mentioned by Cowan is a veteran artillery commander, who fought against the German army in the European theater during World War II, and has used artillery fire to open up the battle situation many times, and many battles have won Wells has contributed to it, this time Cowan asked Van Vliet to send Wells to North Korea in order to open the stalemate on Wusheng Mountain as soon as possible.

Van Vliet didn't know about this Colonel Wells, so he asked someone to find out about this Colonel Wells. After understanding, Van Vliet understood why such an artillery commander who had participated in World War II and had great achievements was still a colonel, because this Wells had a problem, that is, he often contradicted his boss, although many times he said it was right, but because he was not good at words, he often provoked his boss to collapse him, the most famous thing is that once when he was arguing because of the war, he actually scolded his commander in front of many officers for being a stupid born fool, And that commander was Eisenhower, who had already won the election. For such a person, it is normal to mix badly.

Van Vliet was also very angry about the lack of progress on the front, and when Cowan said that this man would definitely open the way, Van Vliet decided to send this Wells to fight in Korea. When Van Vliet's transfer report was sent back, Eisenhower agreed almost immediately, because although Eisenhower was not a stingy person, he was also angry about being scolded by a regiment commander for being a stupid born fool, so Wells had a lot of military achievements but did not get promoted, and the reason why he agreed to Van Vliet's appointment this time was because Eisenhower felt that if this Wells could die in North Korea, it would be the best destination for a soldier. In addition, the U.S. army suffered heavy casualties in Wusheng Mountain but couldn't take down two small hills, and the battle dragged on for a long time, which discredited the U.S. army.

At the request of Cowan and Van Vliet, this American artillery colonel named Wells came to the Korean battlefield, and with him, there was also a batch of new American artillery, this time Wells came to North Korea with these guns, to test the situation of these cannons in a real combat environment! Wells and the new artillery he brought gave Cowan a lot of confidence, and Wells did not disappoint Cowen, because he made the volunteer artillery concentrated on Wusheng Mountain, especially Liu Hai, who was the commander-in-chief of artillery, feel the greatest threat since the outbreak of the Korean War!

"Master Cowen, I must thank you for giving me such an opportunity to return to the battlefield!" Wells said to Master Cowen. "No, Wells, I need your help this time, maybe it's also a challenge for you, the opponent's artillery is very powerful, the reason why we have been fighting here for more than a month is because the opponent's artillery has posed a great threat to us!" Master Cowen said. "I'll do my best, but I don't want anyone to interfere with my command, you should know that!" Wells said. "Of course I understand that no one will interfere with your command, as long as you can open the situation, I am willing to be scolded by you as a fool!" Cowan said. "No, General Cowen, that alone means you're not an idiot, at least much better than Eisenhower's idiot!" Wells said.

Cowan naturally did not believe that Eisenhower was a fool, because Eisenhower's exploits in World War II were there, successfully organizing the Normandy landings, sweeping across Europe, and organizing the North African landings, and he was an excellent commander and an excellent statesman, as evidenced by his record and successful victory in the election as president of the United States. Especially this time agreeing to let Wells come to North Korea is the right decision! But what happened next made Cowan and even Van Vliet a little skeptical and seriously considered the question of whether Eisenhower was an idiot or not.

Eisenhower, before he was elected president of the United States, had promised that if there was still an American soldier in Korea to face enemy fire, then a glorious end to the Korean War and the search for decent world peace must be the first, urgent, and unwavering goal of the new administration. It was on these enticing guarantees that Eisenhower eventually won the presidential election. But when he was elected, Eisenhower turned around and made the argument that we cannot expect to be moved by words, no matter how eloquent, but only by deeds—actions of our own choosing. To put it bluntly, this argument is to scare people, and the purpose of scaring people is to get China to make concessions at the negotiating table, and on the other hand, it has also made a gesture of peace and sincerity, that is, to order the cessation of offensive operations on the Korean battlefield.

Eisenhower first decided to let the Nationalist troops entrenched on the island attack the mainland to remind the Chinese that the stalemate was short and that the Korean War would either end or expand beyond Korea. The other is to warn China through India that if peace cannot be achieved, the United States will use unconventional weapons to force China to make concessions! The so-called unconventional weapons are *, and Eisenhower's use of nuclear weapons to scare people is not the same as Truman, because the Americans have successfully made * into artillery shells, and the first explosion of large-caliber artillery is successful, which means that nuclear weapons can be used for both strategic and tactical purposes. This news prompted the US Joint Chiefs of Staff to immediately reconsider nuclear policy. In furthering U.S. objectives related to North Korea with smaller efforts in exchange for greater results, the role played by atomic weapons demonstrates the need to reassess the policy of limiting the use of nuclear weapons in the Far East.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the Americans feel that tactical nuclear weapons are different from strategic nuclear weapons, strategic nuclear weapons are devastating, and the use of tactical nuclear weapons can make China helpless, and because it is a tactical nuclear weapon, the impact is much smaller, in fact, it is still nuclear blackmail! Regarding the nuclear blackmail of the Americans, the Chinese government said that China also hopes for peace, but it is by no means a peace achieved under oppression and intimidation, and the Chinese people will not give in or even retreat regardless of whether the Americans do not use nuclear weapons. As for the issue of the treasure island, the Chinese government said that no matter whether the treasure island side will counterattack the mainland or not, it is China's internal affair, which has nothing to do with the Americans, and will not have any impact on the Korean battlefield!

In the face of the Americans' argument about tactical nuclear weapons, the representative of the Soviet Union said forcefully that the Soviet Union did not have a division between strategic nuclear weapons and tactical nuclear weapons, and that there was only one theory of nuclear weapons, and that if there was a nuclear explosion on the Korean battlefield, even if it was of the * level, the Soviet Union would not ignore it, although the Soviet Union did not have tactical nuclear weapons, but strategic nuclear weapons existed, and the Soviet Union was unwilling to use them, but because there were no tactical nuclear weapons, the means of counterattack could only be limited to existing nuclear weapons. This means that as soon as there is a nuclear explosion in North Korea, the Soviet Union will use nuclear weapons to retaliate.

"I'll just say Eisenhower was an idiot, you see, right!" Wells said to Cowen. "If the Chinese can be frightened, then we don't have to fight here for three years without results!" Cowan said, "From the time the war broke out, I thought that China would not send troops, but China sent troops, and when we retreated to the 38th parallel, we felt that China did not dare to fight the 38th parallel, and as a result, they came, and Truman said at that time that he would use *, but there was no result, and now this is the case again!" "During this time, the Chinese must have replenished their troops and supplies, and when we have to fight next, we will add a lot of difficulties!" Wells said. "I think so!" Cowan said noncommittally.

Eisenhower's plan was ruthlessly attacked, not only did the Soviets respond very strongly, but even America's allies did not agree to the use of nuclear weapons, and the poor British Prime Minister flew to the United States three times a week to express the concerns and dissatisfaction of European countries about the use of *, and even France offered to withdraw French troops from Korea if * was used. The statement of the French reminded many people, and then many countries also said that if nuclear weapons were used, they would withdraw their own troops, on the other hand, the volunteer army also stepped up to replenish troops, ammunition and food, and actively prepared to launch a counterattack on all fronts to show the attitude of the Chinese side. In addition, demonstrations against the use of nuclear weapons broke out in the United States!

In the end, under internal and external pressure, Eisenhower finally said that nuclear weapons are one of the alternative means, but this does not mean that they will definitely be used, after all, peace is the greatest wish of the US government! Eisenhower's statement relieved all European countries, and the Soviets ridiculed the Americans like a crowing rooster, loud but no one was afraid! Eisenhower's blackmail failed again, and he angrily ordered Van Vliet to give the Chinese an unforgettable blow on the battlefield!

Eisenhower's blackmail was not useless, at least he ordered the offensive to stop as a gesture of yearning for peace, and gave the volunteers the opportunity to replenish food and ammunition, which showed that a new great war was about to begin!
