Chapter 0247: The Great Reversal

Compared to the northern cosmic peninsula, which is completely covered in snow and ice, the southern cosmic peninsula has a lower temperature, but it is generally better.

However, due to the impact of the war a few months ago, the southern part of the cosmic peninsula is also full of traces of war scars.

Previously, when the neighboring countries had not yet sent volunteers to intervene in the war, the government of the United States was initially very hesitant about whether to cross the 38th parallel, but President Li of the cold country in the southern universe insisted on asking the army to drink the Yalu River.

President Lee, who is already in his 70s, was very anxious to regain the impact of the fact that he had fled from Seoul less than 50 hours after the first outbreak of the war on the cosmic peninsula.

After the landing of the Mi army at Incheon, he was the most active instigator and initiator of the counteroffensive operation.

While the White House and the Pentagon were still hesitating whether MacArthur should be allowed to command the United Nations forces led by the Mi Army to cross the 38th parallel, President Lee had already privately summoned the military generals of the cold country in the southern universe.

"What are you waiting for? Aren't we having absolute superiority right now? Why don't we keep attacking north?"

"Well, the UN command hasn't given an order yet, we ......"

"Then I'll give the order now......"

"But Your Excellency, I am not offended. Now that our entire army is under the joint command of the Mi Army, if you were to give an order, it could be politically troublesome. ”

"You soldiers don't need to worry about political issues, you just tell me, do I have the right to give this order?"

"Yes, according to our laws, the President is the Commander-in-Chief and Supreme Commander of the three armed forces of the country in a state of war, and you certainly have the power and the right to give orders. ”

"Then now I order that the troops of the Southern Universe Han Kingdom officially cross the 38th parallel and march towards Pyongyang. As long as we drink the Yalu River, we can wash away our shame. ”

"Yes!"

"This damn 38th parallel, it shouldn't have existed in the first place. We are a great cosmic nation, and we should be a nation by nature. So I hope that my generals, with victory and glory, will unify the country. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

It was precisely at the covert urging of President Lee that MacArthur pretended not to know the doubts of the White House and the Pentagon that the United Nations forces began to cross the 38th parallel and continue their offensive northward.

The elite troops of the Northern Universe Kingdom were all cut off in the south by the Inchon landing battle, and there were only a few newly formed troops and militia police and other armed forces in the central and northern regions.

In a short period of time, the strategic situation on the cosmic peninsula deteriorated dramatically. It was not until the arrival of volunteers sent by neighboring countries that the situation gradually stabilized.

The volunteers who went abroad to fight soon won three battles and three victories, and the United Nations army led by the Mi army repelled to the south of the 38th parallel, and conquered Seoul.

However, at a time when the morale of the volunteers was high and their will to fight was high, the volunteers encountered the problem of serious shortage of logistics supply and suffered heavy losses in the harsh winter.

Frostbite alone has led to massive non-combat attrition – a figure that is even calculated in tens of thousands of people.

It can be said that at this time, the eyes of everyone in the entire Volunteer Army Headquarters were red, and the battle was too aggrieved.

However, the Mi Army took this opportunity and relied on air superiority and sufficient logistics to begin to launch a continuous counterattack against the Volunteers.

Just when the headquarters of the Volunteer Army was anxious about this, good news came from the rear: "This is the latest medicine developed by the motherland, and these medicines only need to be taken with meltwater to withstand the severe cold." ”

Commander-in-Chief Ji didn't believe in the medicinal effects of this kind of thing at all at first, compared to the "Qi Pill" that had already proven itself on the battlefield, this "Agni Fire Dispersion" was simply laughable.

You said that the wound medicine is made of traditional Chinese medicine of the Republic, and it can also convince Commander-in-Chief Ji.

In traditional Chinese medicine, there are many Chinese herbs that stop bleeding and heal wounds. Refining it into an elixir, and then using it in melt water is also convincing.

But you want to say that drinking the potion can keep you out the cold?

If you weren't on the cosmic peninsula, you wouldn't be able to experience the cold of winter at this time.

Even if you are wearing cotton clothes, cotton pants, cotton hats, and cotton gloves, as long as you stay motionless somewhere for a while, you will feel like your whole body is going to be frozen.

“...... What is the use of drinking these potions in such a ghost weather? Outside the Guan, it is really playing the piano indiscriminately, fooling around! Could it be that our soldiers rely on this to keep out the cold? Even if they drink soju, they will not be able to withstand this weather for a while!"

"Hey, don't worry, boss. Since it was sent later, there must be their considerations. If it works, that's great news for us!"

Commander-in-Chief Ji didn't believe in these godly babbling things at all. He's quick-tempered and straight. is only serious about swords, real guns, real guys, but all he can think of when he sees this medicine is the Boxer gods of the year.

"Hmph! Those people who were in the Boxers back then also thought that they would be invulnerable if they drank the talisman water. But what was the result? Didn't they all get killed by the foreign devils with one shot or two eyes?"

However, Commander-in-Chief Ji's initial distrust and dislike soon turned red again after a practical test: "Quick, we still want these 'Agni Scatters' sent last time, and we want as many as we need in the future." ”

Experimental data doesn't lie.

After the "Agni Scatter" was mixed with water according to the standard, the soldiers would still feel hot even if they were wearing autumn clothes and moving in the ice and snow outside.

At first, the command thought that this was a psychological effect, but in fact the soldier's body was still damaged by frostbite.

What people didn't expect was that this was not a psychological effect, but a practical and effective fever.

After taking the "Agni San" mixed with water, the blood in the warriors' bodies is always in a state of accelerated circulation. It is as if there is an unknown mysterious energy that causes the blood circulation in the human body to accelerate and constantly emit heat.

Under normal circumstances, as long as you drink a sip of the "Agni San" potion, it will continue to guarantee the heating effect for nearly 6 hours. And there are no sequelae afterwards, just a little sensitivity to temperature.

The "fire scatter" itself is very portable, and even the melt water process is very simple. You don't even need to prepare hot water, and cold water can also dissolve the potion.

There is also a successful experience of using snow water to do experiments on the spot.

In a short period of time, Deputy Commander Shui, the logistics chief steward of the Volunteer Army Headquarters, began to supply a large number of "Agni Fire Scatter" to the front line, so that the troops could use it to resist the harsh winter.

This kind of "Agni Dispersion", which is easy to carry and transport, and has excellent results, quickly received comprehensive praise from all parties involved in front-line and logistical transportation. Soon, it became the favorite equipment of the Volunteer Army along with the "Yiqi Dan".

No matter how amazing the air superiority of the Mi Army is, there is no way to cover the entire line of the Northern Universe Peninsula in an all-round way. In particular, medicines like "Yiqi Pill" and "Agni Fire San" are completely impossible to prevent.

In a short period of time, a large number of "Agni Scatter" and "Yiqi Pill" were sent to the front line.

Compared with the "Yiqi Pill", which only needs to be applied externally after injury to stop bleeding and build muscles, the "Agni San" medicine after drinking melt water can not be afraid of the cold in the severe winter of ice and snow, which is a good thing that everyone needs.

Since ancient times, there has been a tradition and habit of drinking spirits among the means of keeping out the cold in the north.

Now it has become a potion after drinking the melt water of "Agni San", and the effect is much more effective than drinking spirits.

Although the "Agni San" is very bitter in the mouth after melting water, it has a certain spicy taste, a bit like eating raw chili peppers.

However, all the volunteer soldiers who fought on the Northern Universe Peninsula quickly liked the taste.

It doesn't matter where you came from, or what your tastes were before you joined the army, it doesn't make any difference now.

Anyone who takes one sip less in their mouth every day will be frozen for at least a few hours.

Therefore, the demand for "fire dispersion" at the front line is also becoming more and more intense, and the number is almost unlimited to the rear.

And "Agni Huo San" because it can only be taken after mixing with water, and the taste is particularly spicy, and the front-line officers and soldiers are not used to the "Agni San" of Wen Crepe, so they simply give it a nickname.

It's called "a bite of spicy"!

Anyway, if you take a sip, the spicy will warm you up for hours.

But the convenience on the part of the volunteers was immediately turned into pressure on the United Nations forces, and all the troops on the frontal battlefield soon felt the strong pressure.

Although the original volunteer army won successive battles, it was difficult for them to completely eat the fruits of victory due to logistical pressure.

At every critical moment in the battle, the front-line soldiers will find that their stamina cannot keep up - either lack of weapons and equipment, or lack of food and clothing.

If you don't have enough food and clothing, and your weapons and equipment are still lagging behind others, how can you continue to fight?

In particular, the issue of keeping warm is the most worrisome - because the body's caloric supply requires a lot of physical energy, and physical replenishment requires abundant food and meat.

As a result, after the large-scale use of "Agni Scatter" began to be used on the front line, it was soon found that the pressure on the food supply on the original troops had been greatly reduced.

With the "Agni Scatter" to keep warm, the soldiers had a great surplus in the consumption of food. I don't know what the reason is, but after taking the "Agni San" potion, the human body's need for food is not so urgent.

In terms of logistics and transportation, greater efforts can also be mobilized to strengthen the supply of weapons and equipment to the front line.

It can be said that "Agni Scatter" only played an effect in keeping warm, but it became a chess piece that could pry the entire chess game.

The offensive of the Volunteer Army, which had been halted by logistical pressures, was once again launched, as if the current severe cold and snowy winter had not affected them in the slightest.

The UN forces, which had just stabilized the front, suffered another heavy blow, and the attack of the Volunteer Army even quickly crossed the 37th parallel and was already approaching the 36th parallel.

The rear headquarters of the Southern Universe Peninsula was already anxious, and strictly ordered the troops to hold on to the spot and not to take half a step back.

And they quickly found out the secret of the restoration of the combat effectiveness of the volunteers, and hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated in the hands of some mysterious oriental witchcraft.

That's right, that's what they think.

The so-called "Agni San" is simply the mysterious sorcery of the East, not some normal medicine.

The pharmaceutical company in the rear analyzed the entire formula, but it was impossible to replicate it, and it was not even clear why it took effect.

"So, we need to find the source of their witchcraft now, and then crush them completely!"
