Chapter 43 The Battle for Pyongyang (6)

The first time of the American Marine Corps troops ended quickly in failure. But they had no expression. Johnson felt that everything was still under his control, otherwise he would not have been so calm. So under such circumstances, the second attack of the American Marine Corps also unfolded.

What is Johnson's real confidence? Obviously there is nothing. His real confidence is that there are many troops behind them who can attack later. But his mission is to be the first high ground. If the first battle fails, the blow to his own people behind will be quite big.

The US military received this time that it must organize an effective attack so that it can have its own way and effectively attack the Chinese army on the opposite side. At this moment, the five-star red flag of the Chinese army was already hanging high on the position, and the logo of the Second Division of the 18th Army of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army was printed next to it.

If they pass this high ground, their attack will be comfortable next. But this is also relative, because not everyone will be entangled in this high ground. At this moment, Wang Mingyu has sent an army to circle the path and slowly approach Seoul. They march urgently at night every day.

Wang Mingyu knew that because American planes are flying around in the sky during the day, they must have been exposed when they set out during the day. Wang Mingyu could only let them set out at night. Because it is much safer to set out at night, and there are some people familiar with the road ahead in front of them who are leading the way, which is the most important thing. If there were no such people, I am afraid Wang Mingyu would not dare to do such a move.

In the Eastern Highlands, the war has entered a white-hot stage. The successive sacrifices made Johnson a little red. At this moment, he kept ordering the troops to start attacking. He knew that only a strong attack could take down this highland, but the current situation was unexpected.

The Highlands always maintained a feeling of gradual separation. Every time when Johnson felt that he wanted to take down his opponent, he found that this was not the case at all. There were always people who kept harassing them, always fighting with the last breath. This made Johnson a little panicked. Obviously, he seemed to have fallen into a trap of the enemy.

Johnson's entire regiment had a total of 3,000 people, and now more than 400 people have died or injured. In addition, there are 300 non-combatants. Speaking of which, his military losses have actually basically reached a quarter of the level. But what about the results of the battle? To be honest, there is no result of the battle, which Johnson cannot accept.

What does it mean to take it? It has been taken from the beginning of the morning, but it has not been taken until now. This is really depressing. Moreover, as the battle continues to deepen, the morale comparison between the two sides has obviously reached an extreme. The larger the 18th Army on the opposite side, the more calm it is, but on the other hand, the more impatient the US military fights.

The two people went to the same goal. Wu Peilin used favorable terrain and solid offensive to block the Americans to the east. In fact, the east is not just this way out, but it is undoubtedly this way to go in terms of which road is more comfortable.

Although this road has this high ground, there is a large and flat road ahead of this road. At that time, as long as their tanks and chariots come to the city, it is obvious that these people will not be able to fight against each other. But these are just Johnson's wishful thinking. The problem now is that there is no such good thing waiting for him.

First of all, can they occupy this high ground? This is obviously still a very important question. Now they have always had hope, but they are full of despair. In this case, what can they do? At least Johnson and George have no choice, because this road is just a room for upward development.

Also, even if the Americans pass the high ground, they will definitely take over the entire east side? Obviously not, many road facilities on the east side have been destroyed by Wu Peilin. The roads left by Wu Peilin have already been trapped or many obstacles have been set up.

Can these Americans get through so many traps and obstacles? It is probably difficult. But even after that, can Americans think that only they have tanks but no one else is there? Obviously not. Americans are very arrogant. In their impression, both Chinese and Koreans are poor.

Tanks are things that poor people cannot afford, and during the War of Resistance Against Japan, during the Battle of Shanghai, they were just two regiments of tanks. After fighting for so many years, what capital can they have? MacArthur and others tried their best to conceal the 18th Army, otherwise the shock would be too great.

MacArthur felt that although the 18th Army was difficult to deal with, it should not become their real opponent. Perhaps it was a bit stalemate at the beginning, but after all, the basis of the US military power was not comparable to that of these Chinese. The later the Chinese might be, the worse the Chinese might be.

This time, MacArthur actually deliberately asked Brown to test the 18th Army. His purpose was to understand how powerful the opponent's combat power was. However, it seems that the 18th Army is still quite powerful, at least in a short period of time, it will cause them a lot of trouble.

A team of American soldiers were trying to rush to the front of the position by suppressing firepower, but every time they reached a distance of within 100 meters, they were attacked violently. However, these Americans don’t know why these Chinese people don’t let their troops continue to advance now?

There is still a saying here. There are already landmines around fifty meters ahead. What is the meaning of these minions? Wu Peilin's idea was to catch some big fish, so when Wu Peilin saw the Americans slowly transporting several of his tanks upwards, he also ordered the US troops to be intercepted a hundred meters away.

The boys of the 18th Army gradually adapted to the battlefield. They knew that the battlefield was either you die or I lived. With the propaganda of some veterans, these recruits were full of energy and soon put life and death aside. If a person could even ignore his life, then this person would be a cruel person in the war.

But what about a group of people? How strong are these people's combat power? I'm afraid no one knows now. So far, the Americans have launched at least ten attacks, but they just can't get close to these areas. The Americans feel that they can increase their hopes as long as they rush forward.

But every time they were very disappointed, and now they were very disappointed. Fortunately, their tanks came here soon and were preparing to move forward. As long as they could move the tanks to about fifty meters, even if the tanks were lost in the end, their shelter would be available. This is the real purpose of the Americans.

Wu Peilin hid in the chief of staff and said, "Did you see it? These Americans think that their tanks can be threatened if they stop there? We have studied their tactics more than once. Now it seems that the Americans still want to use these tanks as bunkers."

The chief of staff smiled and said, "I think it's not just that. These Americans not only want to use tanks as bunkers, but I think they even want to use tanks to directly attack our high ground, and then they want to wait for us condescendingly. But these five tanks are not our targets, haha!"

Wu Peilin smiled and said, "How deep is the ditch in front? Don't let these tanks go nonsense if you can't put them down in the end! First Brigade Commander, what is the situation of the mission assigned to you now?"

The first brigade commander immediately stood up and said, "Report to the division commander, we have dug the big pit long ago, and it has been fixed with wooden boards. As long as we don't blow it up, I guess there will be no problem with these tanks even if they drive them over. However, if we blow it up, all of these tanks will be sure to enter the pit."

Wu Peilin said: "It is absolutely impossible for the Americans to lose only five tanks this time. If they lose ten tanks and a regiment, they will give this position to them! To be honest, I really don't see this high ground. This is just the first level. There are still several difficulties waiting for them behind us. If they can all rush over, haha, then they may not be able to rush over the last barrier on our Eastern Front!"

The Chief of Staff said: "Teacher Commander, now Commander Li's troops have begun to secretly head to Seoul. These Americans will soon know the consequences of the army being over. If Commander Li can rush over smoothly, then we have reason to believe that the good days of these US troops will be almost over."

Wu Peilin smiled and sniffed the smell of gunpowder in the air and said with a smile: "I am relieved to this guy Li Xianyu. I believe they must have sent special forces to the front to lead the way. What is our main purpose? It is to cooperate with the actions of their troops, mainly to make the US military sink deeper and deeper on our front battlefield. Now, several armies on the Korean Peninsula have successfully delayed an army. I guess that the Americans in the Incheon direction may not be much better, and the commander will definitely arrange people to go there."

The Chief of Staff said: "This is certain. The troops we sent were withdrawn at the beginning were mainly to confuse the Americans, and to make them believe that the purpose of our doing so was just to create some pressure on them. Once we saw them, we had to hide. According to reliable information, the Eighth Army of the US Army had almost suppressed all their troops. Division Commander, I have a suggestion here that we can actually take the initiative."

Wu Peilin said: "We take the initiative? Is this a bit unrealistic? Although there are many intersections here, the Americans are not fools. They do not guard us from secret mail. Besides, the Americans' army is all concentrated together. Even if we want to go out for sneak attacks, where is our target? Could it be the American arsenal? We don't look like Americans and can't get in! Moreover, the Americans' defense is much more intelligent than the Japanese."

The Chief of Staff said: "I am not going to attack their arsenal, but they are going to be like foreign transport, right? We mainly attack their logistics department. As long as we mess up their logistics department, these little beauties from the Eighth Army will be in chaos and will be destroyed without attacking them! We will also show our faces in front of the commander, right?"

Wu Peilin laughed, then raised his thumbs up and said, "This method is good. Do you have any specific ideas? If so, just tell me directly and I'll think about it!"

The Chief of Staff said: "I guess the possibility of the logistics part being here is relatively high, because logistics generally relies on the large arsenal of the US military. And the division commander, you should know that the closer they are to such a dangerous place, the more cautious these defenders are, just to prevent luring the tiger away from the mountain. The Logistics Department believes that relying on the arsenal is definitely safe. I think their command system should be not wary."

Wu Peilin smiled and said, "What do you mean is that we will directly destroy their command system? Then burn down a series of plans they have formulated? In this way, the Eighth Army will inevitably be in chaos. Think about it, a unit with such chaotic logistics will definitely not last long. I am afraid that they will not be able to recover without half a month. After all, the logistics is not from other departments, and this cannot be done in a short period of time."

The Chief of Staff said: "That's the reason. We are working with Xiaomei now. We have dozens of people killed, and they are almost ten times more likely than us. But we occupy an extremely favorable position and wait for work, so there will never be such a gap in combat power between us. What we need now is time. If we only delay time as much as possible and win the opportunity for the arrival of the main force, we can give it a try!"

Wu Peilin said: "In fact, this matter does not need too many people to do. I think it only takes twenty special forces groups to basically handle it. As long as they go deep into the hinterland, I believe they can still find opportunities. As long as we have to discuss it, we will fight first, and their pressure in the rear will definitely become less and less, because in the short time, Americans can tell where they are shooting?"

The Chief of Staff laughed and said, "Terminal Commander, I think it's actually better to do this. From now on, we send troops to shoot guns in different places every day. At that time, when Americans hear gunfire, the first reaction of the enemy is to attack. But if they persist for three or five days, they will think we are joking, and they will inevitably relax their vigilance. I think our opportunity is at this time..."

Wu Peilin nodded and said, "That's it. You guy, why didn't I find that you have many tricks? You, the chief of staff, are almost as good as me, as the division commander, hahahahaha..."
