Chapter 188 Volunteered
.After the tentative air strike, the US military invested air transport forces.
The sea route is not accessible, and air transport becomes the only way to withdraw from the First Land Force.
In theory, it is an withdrawal, but in fact it is a strategic retreat. After the First Marine Division left Jince, the military existence of the coalition forces in Northeast Korea was zero. With the full development of the Volunteer Army's offensive, whether the coalition forces can gain a foothold on the 38th parallel, let alone attacking the Yalu River, is a question whether the coalition forces can gain a foothold on the 38th parallel.
Large-scale strategic retreat is indispensable for the rear of the palace.
To this end, when the First Marine Division retreated, the coalition forces transported a Korean ground force to the front line, ready to defend the last line of defense.
Twenty 7cs, the Korean army sent not two battalions, but three battalions.
Because the First Marine Division still has a large number of main combat equipment and can be put into combat only by simply repairing it, and the South Korean army has already received standard equipment from the US military, so the South Korean army does not need to carry main combat equipment, but only needs to bring some maintenance tools and spare electronic equipment.
The key is not how long the South Korean army can last, but how quickly it can withdraw the First Land Force Division.
According to the plan, during the evacuation operation, the First Marine Division will hold the front line with the South Korean army until the last group of Marines board the transport plane.
Like other retreat operations of the US military, the first ones who left were wounded who had lost their combat capabilities.
Before the first 7c landed, the wounded personnel of the First Landing Division had arrived at the airport, but they did not board the plane immediately. Because the airport's capacity was very limited, it was not until all transport planes landed that the injured were arranged to board the plane, and then twenty transport planes would be launched within ten minutes.
Doing so will shorten the operation cycle of the airport and allow all transport planes to leave at the same time, avoiding attacks during take-off and landing.
At the same time, the First Marine Division also launched operations on the ground battlefield and began to counterattack the Sixteenth Army.
The US military's counterattack was very powerful, and the front line of the 16th Army was too long, so it effectively restrained the volunteer army outside the airport.
However, the US military's counterattack failed to contain the biggest threat.
Shortly after the transport fleet landed, Mu Haoyang, Lu Wen and others arrived in Jizhou north of Jince.
The Sixteenth Army had just recovered Jin Ce, and thousands of officers and soldiers were still cleaning the battlefield, and the traces of the battle could be seen everywhere. When entering the city, Mu Haoyang also saw a team of American prisoners. There were not many people, about dozens, all of whom were dejected and seemed to believe that they had lost the battle.
Mu Haoyang didn't pay much attention to prisoners of war, his mission was to send Lu Wen to Jizhou.
Here, after meeting with the fast mobile units of the 16th Army, Lu Wen will load the electromagnetic warhead he brought onto the rocket.
As for what to do next, it has nothing to do with Mu Haoyang.
After waiting for less than fifteen minutes, Mu Haoyang met the commander of the fast mobile unit, and his mission was completed. However, Lu Wen had to stay, and he had to send Lu Wen back to the headquarters safely, so he did not leave Jizhou, but was preparing to wait until Lu Wen finished his work before leaving together.
There is no problem with installing the warhead, but how to use it has become a problem.
The Sixteenth Army was not a heavy unit, but only one ** artillery brigade, and its main equipment was wheeled artillery and no large-caliber rocket launchers. Although the Sixteenth Army was strengthened when pursuing the First Marine Division and obtained a rocket launcher battalion from the 39th Army, the battalion did not travel to Jince with the ground troops, but stayed near Xianguanling in northeastern Xianxing, more than 100 kilometers away from Jizhou.
Now, the problem arises.
Without large-caliber rocket launchers, how can we send out the electromagnetic warhead?
Mu Haoyang waited outside for half an hour, and when he saw that Lu Wen had not come out, he went in and checked.
What we are facing now is not technical problems, but tactical problems.
"Mr. Lu, what do you mean is that even without rockets, it can detonate the electromagnetic warhead?"
"Of course, as long as there are appropriate tools, the warhead can be activated." Lu Wen walked to the table and took out several wires from the electromagnetic warhead placed on the table. "This is the wire to activate the warhead. On the rocket, there is a special fire device."
"But we don't have it here."
"Are there any shells?"
The middle-aged colonel nodded and waved to the guard standing by the door.
"Just have it, take a few fuses from the shells and blow up the fuses."
"No problem." The colonel agreed very readily.
A few minutes later, the guard rushed back with two 155 grenades air bomb fuses.
"Connect the fuse to the top, and then set the blow-up height to zero." Lu Wen briefly demonstrated it and said, "and then use a wire to connect the ignition mechanism to detonate on the ground."
“Is it harmful to people?”
Wen glanced at the colonel, and seemed not very clear about the colonel's meaning.
"Even if the wire is used to detonate, the personnel are still very close. The electromagnetic warhead will produce very strong electromagnetic radiation, and nearby personnel..."
"There must be damage, but it won't be too serious." Lu Wen smiled and said, "We have done a test. The flash point temperature of the electromagnetic warhead when it detonated is above 10 million degrees Celsius."
"So high?" The colonel was obviously startled.
"It's just the flash point temperature, the safe distance is fifteen meters. However, electromagnetic radiation is definitely harmful to the human body, so the necessary protective equipment must be provided to personnel."
“What protective equipment?”
"Do you have radiation protection suits?"
The school was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"This..." Lu Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "In this case, you have to find a few longer wires to keep the personnel as far away as possible."
“It’s absolutely safe to stay away from it?”
Wen smiled and did not answer this question. When testing the electromagnetic warhead, the technicians were wearing a complete set of radiation-proof suits and did not have to worry about electromagnetic radiation.
The school is also very hesitant. After all, no one is willing to do such dangerous things.
"Mr. Lu, this problem is easy to solve." Mu Haoyang took two steps forward and said, "If no one wants to go, I will go."
"You?" The colonel turned around and looked at Mu Haoyang.
Mu Haoyang nodded and said, "No matter what, we have to complete the tasks arranged by the headquarters, and someone has to take risks."
"Major, you..." Lu Wen also looked at Mu Haoyang.
Mu Haoyang smiled and did not explain much.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Mu Haoyang had already figured out the situation. Because there was no large-caliber rocket launcher, he could only bring the electromagnetic warhead to the front line and then manually detonate it.
The school was still a little hesitant, but Lu Wen did not hesitate.
"That's all I can do, I'll go with you."
"You?" This time, it was Mu Haoyang's turn to be surprised.
"In the past, we have never tried manual detonation, so there may be technical problems. If you encounter problems, you will definitely need an assistant." Lu Wen smiled and said, "Besides, no one here knows how to operate except I understand this thing."
"But……"
"Major, do you think I can stay here? And the command command is that you have to follow wherever I go. Since you decide to go to the front line, you have to bring me with you."
"What's the reason?"
Wen smiled, ignored Mu Haoyang, and turned around and said to the colonel: "Give us a car and a few soldiers. After the warhead is placed, they will stay in the rear to support him. Major Mu Haoyang and I are responsible for detonating the warhead. You don't have to worry about other things."
The school officer did not hesitate and immediately arranged a guard squad for Lu Wen.
Five minutes later, Mu Haoyang and Lu Wen drove on the road.
"Mr. Lu, you have no need."
"What's not necessary?"
Mu Haoyang turned around and glanced at the electromagnetic warhead placed in the back row and said, "This thing is actually no different from an ordinary warhead, and I can also detonate it."
"Is that true?" Lu Wen glanced at Mu Haoyang.
"Don't forget, I came from the special forces."
"The special forces are very powerful?" Lu Wen smiled and shook her head, saying, "Major, I know you are considering me, but you are willing to sacrifice yourself for danger. Why should I stay? Besides, I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If you encounter any problem, can you solve it?"
Mu Haoyang didn't say anything, he knew that he couldn't tell Lu Wen.
"By the way, did you think of a solution at the beginning?"
"What's the solution?"
"You are still pretending?" Lu Wen smiled and said, "You didn't think of a solution, why did you volunteer?"
"Mr. Lu, do you think I am a person who is greedy for life and fears death?"
"Of course not, but no one wants to die, especially someone like you."
"What's special about someone like me?"
"People who have seen death and often deal with death do not want to die the least." Lu Wen paused for a moment, "and they are the least afraid of death."
Mu Haoyang smiled and shook his head, saying, "I did think of a solution."
"What's the solution?"
"You told me that water can block electromagnetic fields."
"Yes, water can indeed..." Lu Wen was stunned and immediately understood.
"Kince is on the beach, and there must be a lot of swamps. If we can find a place to deal with it, we can dive into the water when detonating the electromagnetic warhead." Mu Haoyang glanced at Lu Wen and said, "No matter what, it's better than staying on the ground and being exposed to radiation."
"You're right, you can do that."
“It works?”
Wen nodded and said, "It should work, but I can't be sure."
"Why?"
"Water can block electromagnetic fields, but there are conditions and restrictions. We cannot communicate with submarines using short-wave radio stations because the power of the radio station is too low and electromagnetic waves cannot penetrate sea water. Even if we use long-wave radio stations, we can only contact submarines with a submarine depth of less than 30 meters. If the intensity of the electromagnetic wave is large enough to make water evaporate, then hiding in the water is not self-protection, but self-destruction." Lu Wen sighed and said, "To put it bluntly, the microwave oven used in daily life uses this principle and uses water to transform electromagnetic energy into internal energy."
Mu Haoyang was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect this problem.
"But don't worry, it should be fine. The strength of the electromagnetic field is proportional to the power of the distance to the third power, and the further away, the lower the intensity. As long as you are far enough, there is not much danger."
"Can you be sure?"
Wen smiled and said, "I'll know later."
Mu Haoyang also smiled. Since he had already taken over the task, it would be useless to think about it.
