Chapter 47: The Battle for Pyongyang (10)
Wu Peilin used to strengthen defense at night, but he has reduced defense in the past two days. In fact, if the Americans knew about it, they might regret it. Because the resting soldiers went downstairs to rest, the Americans only needed a company of troops to rush to take down the high ground. But the Americans did not dare and did not have the courage.
Wu Peilin's order was to retreat immediately once the enemy attacked. In fact, Wu Peilin was about to let go of water now, but the Americans were still on guard. They felt that their victory must be brilliant, but the process was also very difficult.
The Americans slowly approached the front of the highlands, and the soldiers at the front were almost twenty meters away from the front of the position. However, they did not dare to get up and rush forward. The tanks that fell into the pit behind them explained a lot of problems. Could it be that the Chinese army also laid minefields in front of this?
The minefield was not arranged, but they still had some secret whistles on both sides. The Americans did not escape the eyes of some people. They have now seen the Americans preparing to attack their camps. So someone has already reported it.
But the Americans seemed to be waiting for time and did not take action immediately, which gave Wu Peilin plenty of time to deal with what was happening in front of him.
Wu Peilin said: "It seems that the Americans are going to attack at night, but this just hits our minds. We have such an opportunity now. If the Americans occupy the high ground, I guess they will definitely pursue it. Of course, this will be at least tomorrow."
The Chief of Staff said: "Our troops have another [31 Novel Network Update Fast] rank above? If the Americans attacked at night, our rank may be..."
Wu Peilin said: "Haha, it's okay. I asked the special forces group to cover it. They will retreat safely. But some people may have some accidents or injuries. But this is a war, and we have to do it very much. We must never let the Americans notice our plan!"
The Chief of Staff laughed and said, "So what if you realize it? Even if we point at the nose and say to the Americans, we have to wait to encircle and annihilate them, we still have to believe it. We are saying here, if people don't believe it, isn't this a waste of time? Haha!"
Wu Peilin laughed: "This is the reason. We have been saying it for a long time and we have to believe it! But we don't know if the commander will blame us if we give up this position now!"
The Chief of Staff said: "We don't know the temper of the commander yet? The command is basically independent. As long as you have your ideas, even if you poke a hole in the sky, the Commander will not say anything about us. I will explain this matter at that time. I heard that Commander Li's troops have begun to move towards Seoul. We will let these Americans come out at this time, and it will be difficult for them to go out by then!"
Wu Peilin's eyes lit up and said, "Hehe, I think it's so reasonable when you say this. But now our purpose is not just that. We have more things to do now. Don't Americans feel that it's very respectable to occupy our high ground, haha! Then we'll do it in a real way, let them feel the feeling of our incoming flight..."
The Chief of Staff said with a smirk: "There is a Hollywood in the United States, and we are almost professional actors!"
So, when the Americans rushed to the high ground, they saw such a scene. One unit began to escape slowly and the other began to chase slowly. When the Americans found that there was only one platoon of Chinese fighting tenaciously, they almost pissed their noses.
But this is not something they can say. We can't say that one can stop them for nearly five days? But the final result made the Americans very happy because the position was finally taken down. Looking at the fleeing Chinese, the Americans felt so happy.
In the US military command, Brown's face finally improved a little. However, something that caused him a headache came again. This time, this military merit seemed to have come a little easier, and the Chinese just resisted for a while and gave up. Could it be that the Chinese are not good at night fighting? If this is true, then this is still a huge discovery.
But the Chinese are very good at close combat and night battles. Brown is a little confused. He fought such a difficult battle in broad daylight, but at night he was able to handle it so easily. This made the Americans a little unbelievable!
But even if they couldn't believe it, they had to do something a little depressing at this moment.
"His Excellency Brown, I think we are now a good time to pursue the victory. Now that we have taken the high ground, our morale is very high!"
"Yes, General, I agree that we will continue to attack! I think this is the best time for us to win the Eastern battlefield in one fell swoop. If we delay this opportunity and wait until the Chinese continue to prepare, I am afraid..."
"I don't agree. I think we are not very familiar with the terrain now. At this time, we may be incalculable in the end. I think we should be low-key and hold the defense first!"
Brown was also very helpless when he heard the chattering comments below. It was fake to say that he didn't want to attack, but this road was not very easy to walk on. And the most important thing is that it is night now, and the Chinese people buried dozens of mines in the ground and were completely destroyed. So Brown felt that he should be calm.
But he felt calm and the others felt that it was not possible. These people watched the general who stood up and took the first-class merit in their hands. They now felt that if they did not perform, they would not even have the chance to perform. Seeing that this first-class merit was so easy, how could these people see it?
Since you can't stand it, why should you continue to watch it? You directly ask for a war! So now the entire Eighth Army has been divided into two factions, one faction does not advocate attacking now, and the other faction advocates counterattacking now.
Brown personally tends to be a faction that does not advocate attack. After all, there are many people who advocate attack now. It is difficult for the troops to be deployed at night. Since it is difficult to arrange them, it is obviously unlikely to launch a large-scale attack. Since it is impossible, why should we persist? If the troops are disbanded at this time, Brown may be pissed to death.
Morale is very high now, but everyone understands the principle that the enemy is not chasing. But now many people are not convinced that the general easily took this high ground. Especially the group where Johnson is located, they say that this high ground was actually basically captured by their Johnson team.
This general was just a fisherman's benefit. Such remarks are not only very marketable, but also recognized by many people. In fact, Brown also thinks that this person's luck is really good. How can he seize such a small opportunity?
But Brown also knew what you asked this guy to say under the circumstances at that time? Why didn’t you stand up and say it?
Brown said angrily: "What's the point of saying it afterwards? Why didn't you go there when I asked you to go there? I tell you that luck is also part of the war. Just like you and me, killing a hundred people together. Why are he the regiment commander and you are the company commander? Sometimes don't look at others' luck. I used to put this luck in front of you, but who did you have to stand up at that time? I asked several times before they stood up. Now you are talking sarcastic about it here? Haha, I'm frank, you don't have this power!"
Brown just marveled at the good luck of this person, but it does not mean that he does not agree with other people's military achievements. His goal is high ground. I care whether you die twenty people or two hundred people, anyway, what I want is the result. Now that people have put the result in front of me, we must respect this result.
So Brown had nothing to say, and gave this person a first-class merit directly. Of course, he still needed to go to MacArthur to declare. However, this battle was formed under heavy pressure, so it has great significance. If MacArthur knew about it, he would not be stingy with this first-class merit.
However, Brown also applied for a collective second-class merit for Johnson and the Marine Corps. This was the only way to calm their anger. Of course, Brown's balance was still very good. At least temporarily extinguished the anger of both sides.
But there is still a long debate on the issue of attack or not attack. Finally, Brown said: "Okay, don't talk about the issue of attack or not attack here. I'll ask you, do you know how many minefields are there on the Kangzhuang Avenue less than a kilometer ahead of us? How many ambushers are there? How many weapon configurations are there for the enemy? Who knows? Without knowing anything, just shout and let us attack. There is no problem with us attacking, but the lives of our soldiers are not life? Do our soldiers have no say? You all know that our soldiers are actually not good at night battles, and this battle is a bit strange. How do you know that the Chinese have no bigger conspiracy waiting for them? Isn't Johnson's five tanks a good example?"
The Chief of Staff Michel said with some disdain: "When we learn about this situation, it may be next year! My suggestion is to attack immediately and take advantage of the unexpected development of the Chinese. Our army is not good at night wars. In fact, the Chinese army is good at night wars? They are all in the same combat environment. Could it be that they see more things than us? Our troops are often trained in the jungle. I remember that it seems that China does not have such a good training plan, right?"
Brown looked at the person who was specifically against him with a little hatred, and his heart was full of helplessness. Now he has not sat firmly in his position, and there is no one in Michelle? At this time, he can only be low-key and tolerant. After he has settled in this position, he will slowly deal with you. This is what Brown thinks.
Wu Peilin watched the Americans occupy the highlands in cheers and began to build fortifications on the spot. Speaking of which, Wu Peilin never expected that the Americans would launch a sudden attack tonight. In fact, Wu Peilin wanted to play with the Americans for two days. After they had enough, they would directly bury some landmines underneath and then quietly walked away.
However, the Americans did not give Wu Peilin this opportunity, which made Wu Peilin a little regretful. But at least now he has achieved his goal. After the Americans occupied the first high ground, they will definitely rashly attack the second position. There is a plain of nearly one kilometer in the middle.
This one-kilometer plain is convenient for Americans to take action, but after this development, they will encounter some trails and the like. Anyway, there is basically no good road to walk after one kilometer. Unless you walk all the way to Pyongyang, there is a mountain and several rivers in the middle.
There is almost no possibility for Americans to directly capture. At first, Wang Mingyu was afraid of American paratroopers at night, but now it seems that Americans dare not drive in. As long as they hear the roar of the plane, Wang Mingyu will never miss any chance to attack the Americans.
Wang Mingyu called to ask about the battle situation on Wu Peilin. As soon as Wu Peilin said that the high ground was lost, Wang Mingyu praised Wu Peilin and said, "Peilin, you know it best. Haha, this position is better. I can't lose it anymore. I will remember you after you turn around!" After that, Wang Mingyu hung up the phone.
This made Wu Peilin very depressed. When he was about to explain to Wang Mingyu and show his grand plan, Wang Mingyu's praise made Wu Peilin a little collapse. Until now, Wu Peilin didn't know why Wang Mingyu praised him. It was still the chief of staff next to him who thought it might be because this was related to the overall plan of the army.
But no matter how great the opportunity is, what is the relationship between losing the position? Wu Peilin thinks it is not to make the Americans relax their vigilance and then protect Li Xianyu's troops to attack Seoul? If so, Wu Peilin thinks that losing the position is really perfect and very in line with the matter.
Wu Peilin, who was somewhat puzzled, was also a little depressed. If he hadn't wanted to swallow these Americans in one bite, he would probably not have been the same. However, it was precisely because of this accident that the current situation was so.
After Wu Peilin put down the microphone, he hummed a small song. He thought he would be scolded, but it turned out to be a credit. This made Wu Peilin very excited. However, after Wu Peilin was excited, he also thought about how to cooperate with Li Xianyu's troops and began to delay the enemy.
