Chapter 89 208 Heights (twenty-seven)
The 08 Highlands competition did not expect that the end result would be like this. The Americans did not dare to put their bets on this, otherwise Seoul would be out of business. They would not be able to win it, so they could only let Michelle become a pawn and start to buy those news reporters. Of course, not every news reporter can buy it.
But this is how people are. Just bribe others. At that time, everyone is united and moral, naturally it is impossible to say that they have been bribed, right? There is no such fool who sells himself. So Michelle is not afraid of what these people say at all. In fact, everyone knows that the US military is in a difficult situation now, and Michelle has vaguely said some of the current situation.
The most important point is that the 18th Army was popular in the United States for a while, but now the two armies are in war and defeat is inevitable. At that time, you made people lose money. Can you not let people fail now? Moreover, in the United States, Wang Mingyu's influence is gradually increasing because the scope of Zhongsheng Pharmaceutical's activities is very broad.
After receiving the order to retreat, the Eighth Army was confused, but at this time he pushed the problem to General Peng and others. General Peng was the commander-in-chief and the controller of the entire war. Although the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief were different, there was a world of difference. At this time, Wang Mingyu could only turn to General Peng for help.
"Why are you looking at me like this? Mingyu, don't you know what I mean?" President Peng said with a smile.
Wang Mingyu said helplessly: "Why do you think we can eat this group of US troops or not? This area is the Pyongyang border, and our army will definitely reinforce Seoul. So the main combat mission must be handed over to the brothers of the Volunteer Army."
President Peng said: "I tell you, it is not very meaningful to eliminate this group of Americans. Even if we eliminate so many Americans, what can we do? It is said that we are fools if we don't eat the fat meat we give to our mouths. But I don't think so."
Wang Mingyu looked up at President Peng and said, "I hope to hear it clearly!"
President Peng smiled and said, "Actually, have you seen that this group of Americans is not so-called no way out, but if they retreat to Incheon, there is no way out. But what if they keep going southwest? The American navy can still handle them at that time. Do you think Americans only have an army?"
Wang Mingyu slapped his head and said, "It's true. I have always limited my attention to land. In fact, the US military is not only powerful, but also the ocean. In this case, we can only take one step at a time. Anyway, this group of people must retreat. If they forcibly break away, the casualties will probably be more serious."
Mr. Peng said: "The problems I am thinking about now are not just these. Think about it, what are our troops concentrated around Pyongyang? To preserve Pyongyang. Now the crisis in Pyongyang is about to be resolved. What are we going to do next? What we want is to recover lost land. In fact, some areas in northern North Korea have already fallen, and we want to drive the entire US military out of North Korea. But we can't drive it too ruthlessly."
Wang Mingyu naturally understood the joints, so he naturally couldn't drive it too hard at this time. You should know that according to Wang Mingyu's intention, he could directly destroy South Korea. But later on, thinking about this, it was a bit naive, and the chairman could do this. After all, at that time, the Chinese army had already beaten the Americans very depressed.
In fact, the United States did not have the strength to fight again at that time, but they were under too much pressure. Sometimes it was not a good thing to be too democratic and liberal. Therefore, at this time, the Americans could not be offended too harshly.
[31 Novel Network] Of course, the most important reason is that it can allow the confrontation between China and the United States to be placed on the Korean Peninsula. There is actually not much loss to the two countries. This is what they want most, so if you want this battle, how to fight? You still have to watch it.
Wang Mingyu said: "If we only build one country on the Korean Peninsula, I wonder what General Peng thinks?"
President Peng smiled and said, "We have actually discussed this issue, but the Military Commission has not yet made a clear conclusion. Of course, from my personal point of view, the two countries on the Korean Peninsula are better than one."
Wang Mingyu said: "Americans will not give up the interests of the Far East easily, we all know this. But Mr. Peng, have you ever thought that if two countries appear on the Korean Peninsula, it will inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble for our country. I think there are actually benefits to establishing one country and establishing two countries. It is just from a long-term perspective..."
Mr. Peng said: "What's wrong from a long-term perspective? In fact, we are really fighting with Americans now, and we don't have any advantage at all. We have concentrated so much manpower and material resources to almost exhaust all of us. Speaking of which, if it weren't for some of your contributions from Mingyu, I'm afraid we will be under greater pressure now."
Wang Mingyu said: "Our task is very heavy now. North Korea doesn't look big, but it's actually not small. It doesn't make sense to discuss this issue now. This is not something we can decide. But I think the 8th line should be a standard line for you and me? I don't see that since we are not invading, we have the right to defeat the enemy."
President Peng said: "After that being said, we still have to disperse the troops now. Otherwise, the city we just took back will be snatched away by the Americans in a flash. Do you think it is a blessing or a disaster?"
Wang Mingyu didn't know how to answer this question. In the current environment, the large-scale dispersion of troops is not good news for the Chinese Volunteer Army. Fortunately, the number of Chinese Volunteer Army is more than that of Americans. But if it is averaged, will the Americans be average?
Is there a huge gap in combat effectiveness between China and the United States? This is self-evident. Even the 18th Army is so powerful, and the tank cluster cannot defeat the Americans as they please. It is enough to see the Americans' strength.
What's more, the United States is just one of the troops. This time, the United States has colluded with the Allied forces composed of 17 countries, and is even more arrogant. The Allied forces have not yet been deployed. Because the areas where they deploy defenses are different. The latest news received is that the Allied forces have begun to move, which is not good news.
Why form an allied army? They mainly want to represent the interests of the vast majority of people, and they want to stand on the commanding heights of morality. Unfortunately, China was not moved by it. Instead, it was a ruthless blow to them. Defending the country was the slogan of the Chinese Volunteer Army. China absolutely had no need to be weak in this matter.
You should know that some things are diplomatically tough and militaryally weak. However, the matter of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea is not useful just by saying a few words to the Americans. Of course, the Chairman understands this matter, and it is precisely because the Chairman understands that this is the end.
Wang Mingyu said: "General Peng, the dispersion of troops is inevitable. No matter whether it is a blessing or a disaster, the land we have captured will inevitably not be returned. Otherwise, if the morale of the army is shaken by then, it will be more than worth the loss."
Mr. Peng nodded, that's what he meant. As the commander-in-chief of the entire volunteer army, he must focus on the overall situation and ensure that everyone can maintain the favor of resisting the United States and aiding Korea. Otherwise, who will bear the losses of the troops then?
Some things are irreversible, but some things must be done. Mr. Peng knew this well and continued: "Mingyu, I know that the combat effectiveness of your troops in the volunteer army is the best. It can even be equivalent to five armies or even many. But have you ever thought that your troops will be less and less. But the Americans are a country, but you are a person. So in the end, we must rely on the motherland behind us. Only in this way can we fight hard and finally achieve the results we should achieve."
Wang Mingyu knew the relationship, but from the current situation, Americans occupy almost half of North Korea. The question I want now is how to drive away Americans. Wang Mingyu said: "So what is the next course of action for President Peng?"
President Peng said: "Our goal is to protect North Korea, at least to make North Korea a country. As for the establishment of the opposite South Korea or not, what does this have to do with us? In this war, the Chairman meant to hurt them and be afraid of them. This is a battle and a strong authority. There is only one opportunity for us."
Wang Mingyu said: "Now the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Army of the United States has been lost by almost half. However, it is now November, and the weather is getting colder. It is a difficult test for both the enemy and us."
Mr. Peng pointed to the map and said, "Look at this place, Changjin Lake in northern North Korea. My next goal is to drive the Americans in this area out and establish northern fortifications. Now we can only advance step by step from north to south. This is the main front line. As for the defense of Pyongyang, it must be carried out at all times."
Wang Mingyu smiled and said, "As for Pyongyang, I have ordered Zhang Deen's troops to be stationed here. Always protect the safety of Changjin Lake?" Changjin Lake is the largest lake in northern North Korea. It forms Changjin Lake between Liutanli and Xiajieyuli to the north, and finally injects into the Yalu River.
Mr. Peng said: "It's Changjin Lake, we must take this area. Otherwise, we will not be able to control the entire northern region of North Korea. If we cannot control that side, how can we establish contact with our rear?"
Wang Mingyu’s most concerned issue is not this. The one he is most concerned about now is who will fight? So he asked: “General Peng, how many troops are there sent this time?”
Mr. Peng smiled and said, "The importance of that area is self-evident. Except for the teacher Zhang De, your troops must basically pass. Only if you pass, I can rest assured that this battle will never be lost. Moreover, it depends on your Anton's base. It is quite convenient to come back, and the logistics can at least be guaranteed."
Wang Mingyu nodded with a smile and said, "Actually, I still want to go back and take a look. After all, the brothers are more concerned about their wife when they come out. I will take them back and take a look at it for a while. I won't stay for a day, so I will arrange some difficult problems by the way."
President Peng asked in confusion: "Tough problem? What kind of difficult problem?"
Wang Mingyu said in a deep voice: "Of course it's about the issue of military or food. If you don't collect warm things at this time, I'm afraid we will freeze to death more than we will die in battle."
Wang Mingyu knew the next action plan and felt a little calm. The Americans' intention to touch the entire North Korea now seems to have collapsed step by step. On the 08 Highlands, the two sides seem to have a special understanding. Brown's show has also begun. He also made his face dark and then started shooting at the 08 Highlands with a gun.
What Brown didn't know was that it was precisely because of such a photo that he was saved in the end. The people even praised Brown for playing the role of the entire US military. The rest of you said this and that day, look at the newspapers on the front line. People have already sent back such pictures. Do you still need to chase them back?
Brown then realized that the role of the newspaper was so huge. MacArthur was extremely depressed because Brown was less responsible, so the responsibility of his commander-in-chief would be greater. However, there was no way, because Brown could not move now, but MacArthur still made meritorious service as commander-in-chief. The United States and the Allied Command required that the entire North Korea be taken down in a short period of time.
In fact, there is a reason why Americans are anxious, because it will be cold in a while. In any case, the weather has always had a very big impact on the war. At this time, there are no high-tech technologies such as drones, unmanned tanks, etc. in later generations. At this time, the war is still afraid of human power consumption, which is too much.
In a war in the United States, the more people die, the more people's dissatisfaction will continue to rise. Because there are more people die, the marches near the White House in Washington are becoming more and more dense. In fact, Americans are not without any pressure to fight this war. It is precisely because of the huge pressure that they want to win and save the situation in front of each other.
Unfortunately, this can only become a fantasy now, so the American order was extremely determined, and Pyongyang remained unmoved for the time being, radiating rapidly to various regions of North Korea. In fact, this order was issued when the 08 Highlands were still fighting. Otherwise, how could President Peng point to Changjin Lake now and say this?
Changjin Lake is about to become the second concentration point of the battle. Wang Mingyu is now going to pick up Li Xianyu. After all, although the pressure on the 08 Highlands is not too high, or just pretending, it will change later!
