Chapter 45: The Battle for Pyongyang (8)
With Wu Peilin's order issued, everyone in the entire Second Division stared tightly in front of him. This is a rare and good scene. Now Americans probably don't know that many people from the Second Division stretched their necks to see the so-called scene of tank submerged, but basically no one in the Second Division could see it, and could only hear a sound.
Wu Peilin watched the US tank finally reach the designated position and smiled and said, "When the last tank came, I would pull the line for me. I still didn't believe it. These people would not accept it. I guess I could kill at least seventy or eighty US troops in a while. This time, our explosives are worth it!"
The Chief of Staff laughed and said, "Hey, we used this trick all the time, but it has been tried and done. I have discovered that the easier it is, the more simple the tactics can be recognized. The more complex and changeable the tactics are, the more helpless it is. I just want to figure out what kind of situation our tactics should be?"
When the US tanks drove to the area designated by Wu Peilin and others, a huge explosion occurred on the entire highland. This sound not only caught more than 200 American soldiers around the tank and caused hatred, but also made the 18th Army on the other end of the highland not do it well. Because they didn't know that they were actually imprisoned by their own people under such circumstances.
With loud bangs, the entire ground was sunk. Five tanks and dozens of soldiers disappeared in front of everyone. After a fixed eye, they all fell into the big pit. When the person fell, they were also killed and could not get up. If the tank wanted to get up, it had to dig a passage.
But now it is unlikely to look like this. Because the tanks are basically scrapped now. What are the scrapped? Naturally, they are tanks, and they were blown up and basically became scrap iron. The Chinese army, which is far away fifty meters away, were shocked, and you can imagine how powerful it is.
Although the 18th Army prepared in advance this time, no one died. However, there were still many injured people. What makes people feel a little depressed is that even Wu Peilin was covered in dust. The reason is that he didn't know what was flying so far away, which almost scared Wu Peilin.
Wu Peilin threw the telescope directly and fell down. The Americans were a little frightened when they saw this scene. They finally knew why these people didn't let them approach their core area. It turned out that they were waiting for themselves here. No wonder they were always frustrated in the attack before, so why did it all come out suddenly?
These cunning people are actually slandering themselves here. This makes Americans feel bored. But what can I do? The Americans are so helpless now, because the most advantageous weapon for their attack on this high ground has now become a pit-filling thing. What else can stop these people?
You know, if the plane can be used, Americans will never use it. But in this situation, the plane cannot be used at all. What should I do? I can only attack up with my teeth.
Since they are attacking with the slightest, there is a lot of sense. They are fighting head-on with the 18th Army. Speaking of which, they have some advantages, namely tanks. But don’t forget that this is a highland. Although it is different from the ordinary highlands like mountains, it is at least a highland, right?
Since it is a high ground, it is naturally difficult. The speed of the tank is too slow, no different from crawling with a turtle. Although the American tanks are rich, it is the whole. However, each regiment wants to be equipped, and there is not much in the last synthesis. They are not as capable of concentrating their advantages like Wang Mingyu, which is Wang Mingyu's biggest advantage.
If you are not able to see it in normal times, but once you encounter a large-scale war, Wang Mingyu's advantages will be fully revealed. So what if it is a large-scale encounter? With the strong combat power of Wang Mingyu's troops, you can still fight against any unit in the world without being at a disadvantage.
This is Wang Mingyu's greatest reliance now, and Wang Mingyu's greatest prestige among them. The greatest prestige of a general is that he can lead his brother out of the predicament under any circumstances. Speaking of which, Wang Mingyu encountered many difficulties along the way, but more of it was Wang Mingyu who relied on himself to solve it.
Of course he has his advantages, but it is only such people who can believe him and treat him as the soul of a unit. We have said long ago that the reason why the 18th Army was called the 18th Army may be because of Wang Mingyu. If it weren't for him, the 18th Army might have disappeared in the long river of history. Who could remember it?
However, due to Wang Mingyu's appearance, this army is still exerting its energy and making contributions to the entire country. This is the gap and this is the meaning of reality. Wang Mingyu told people with practical actions that they are not a force that easily disappears, but an iron army that can stand the test.
Wu Peilin is now confronting Johnson's troops, and the entire troops are now in this state.
Johnson said to George: "It's over. All the tanks of our troops are finished. All five tanks were buried under the Chinese. What should I do?"
George said a little depressedly: "The only way we can take advantage of this opportunity to put a big push and catch the Chinese people off guard while they are not yet firm in their foothold, otherwise we will have no chance."
Johnson looks a little decadent now, obviously this blow is too huge for him. However, it seems that there is something in Johnson's eyes, which is called perseverance. Johnson himself does have some luck mentality, but now it seems that the last bit of luck mentality has been destroyed by the Chinese.
No one could understand Johnson's decadence's mentality. It was not until now that he realized that he had been fooled and had been deceived by the Chinese. Originally, he thought that the Chinese would not let their troops rush forward to prevent their troops from rushing forward. Now it seems that they are wrong. If the Chinese want to control the high ground, what they want is to turn their tanks into their pockets.
This time they did it, and did it very well. They eventually lost their beloved tanks and lost the important part of their offense. They didn't expect the Chinese to tamper with this.
In fact, this time it was also the inertial thinking that they were hurt. They thought there was no such trap on the high ground. In fact, the US military was generally very careful in the plains. The first one was because this was the high ground, and the second one was a bit crazy because this was the offensive, which eventually led to them becoming like this.
But no matter what, now the Americans' tanks are gone, and Johnson's last reliance is gone. The Americans were not originally a unit that was counting on tank attacks, but now they have been unable to open up the situation and put their last hope here, but in the end they failed.
Johnson knew that if they did not move forward, they would encounter more blows, but if they moved forward, they would encounter stubborn obstacles from the Chinese. Moving forward is death, and not moving forward is death. How should Johnson choose in this situation? How should his troops choose?
This is a very difficult question, but Johnson knew that they could never retreat no matter what. Retreat is deserters, but moving forward, even if they die in battle, is a hero. Johnson knew that it was a dilemma for life and death, but if one choice was not good, he would become a sinner in the entire Land War Clan, and he would not want to be this sinner.
Johnson said to the grassroots officers below: "Commander-in-Chief Brown has given us the death order to the Marine Corps. If we cannot take this high ground, then our final outcome is just one word, death!"
"Captain, we should have this awareness ourselves without General Brown's words. We are one of the most proud land regiments in the US military. This is about our honor. We must not give up like this." A battalion commander said.
"Captain, our battalion is ready to sacrifice for the country at any time. No matter whether the enemy is strong or weak, it has nothing to do with us. We only obey the command of the group army. Since the command's order is like this, we must grasp it well and add a touch to the honor of our land regiment!" Another battalion commander said carelessly, as if he did not feel any pressure.
Johnson looked at these resolute brothers, his eyes were a little wet. He didn't know what was waiting for him. Now Johnson knew that what they were about to face might be death in the true sense. I wonder if these brothers were ready for the final preparation?
But Johnson himself was well prepared. He knew that even if the superiors did not suppress him, his heart would not be able to overcome this hurdle. To be honest, the Land Team had not encountered such a difficult opponent since its establishment. In the past, the tanks continued to crush them after the planes were bombed, and in the end he was charging. He was proud and there was no pressure at all.
But now it's different. The combat power of this unit is extremely strong, so powerful that they are a little scared. Johnson seemed to have heard of the name of the 18th Army before, but he couldn't remember it for a while, but he had never heard of the 18th Army. Now Johnson's biggest idea is to figure out how the Chinese people on the opposite side could have such a unit? Why does he seem so familiar and unfamiliar?
Johnson asked, "Who has heard of this 18th Army? I seem to have heard of it at some time, and I don't seem to have heard of it. Anyway, my mind is a little confused now!"
George thought hard. To be honest, he seemed to have heard of such a unit in his impression, but he couldn't remember it for a while. However, in the depths of his mind, George really remembered it a little. George exclaimed: "Captain, this 18th Army is not the 18th Army that was often reported by news newspapers in the past? I heard that the combat effectiveness of this army is not ordinary!"
George's words immediately aroused everyone's discussion.
"The 18th Army? Why is it so familiar with its name? I seem to see it in some newspaper!"
"What have you seen in newspapers, but it wasn't displayed on TV? I still remember that the 18th Army of China beat the Japanese to the point of defeating the Japanese!"
"What? It's not really the troops reported on the news, right? I heard that these troops are very powerful! At that time, we struggled to fight the Japanese, but they were like cutting melons and vegetables. Could it be that the troops are the current troops? I don't think it's possible?"
"What's impossible? Don't we know the strength of China yet? I don't know how poor they are? But why are their weapons and equipment not lagging behind us and have such strong combat power? This is exactly the same as the 18th Army mentioned in the news. We won't be so lucky, right?"
"If that were the case, we might have won the lottery very much. How could we meet the most powerful troops in China? But then again. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid our high ground would have been taken down long ago! Commander, I think no matter whether we are the most powerful troops in China or not, this is not the reason why we should be trapped by them. We have our pride. I think we should concentrate our superior forces now to fight them!"
"Haha, do it? How do you do it? They are defense, we are offense, and now there is another gap between us. This gap is insurmountable for us. If we want to make an appointment for this gap, we have to pass it quickly, but this will undoubtedly increase our difficulty. We can only think of other ways to pass it!"
"Captain, we have no choice now. The top has issued the final order. We don't know whether we move forward or die, but we must be dead. Even if we are not dead, we will be ridiculed by others. We can accept death, but we will definitely not accept the ridicule of any other troops. The last pride of our Marine Corps must be maintained..."
Johnson waved his fists and said, "I order that all the brothers of the Land Army, as long as they can get a gun, we will work hard for the final glory of our Land Army..."
Johnson pulled out his gun and looked particularly upright in the sun, but this upright seemed a little desolate, while Wu Peilin on the opposite side did not have any sympathy. Because he knew that if he changed to another angle, the Americans would never have any kindness to him, and any kindness on the battlefield would be irresponsible to his brothers.
This is the reason why the so-called "Charity is not in charge of soldiers"! Wu Peilin has not had so many years of experience. Can he lead so many troops? They are all slowly trained from the grassroots level. They all have a firm belief in their hearts, and no one can shake this belief... (To be continued)
