Chapter 73 MacArthur suspects the Russians will join the war
This blocking war was fought quite beautifully.
First, Li Aiguo led the Third Division to annihilate a Korean division, and then joined forces with the Fourth Division to annihilate the vanguard of the so-called United Army of the Eagle Sauce.
All the equipment used was developed by Zhang Tian.
Li Aiguo and Yang Xing have been in the army for so many years, but they have never won such an easy battle.
Of course there were casualties.
With so many people, even stray bullets from the opposite side can hurt people.
In the two battles, our casualties were less than 100.
But on the other side, there are three full divisions.
The remaining two or three thousand prisoners meant a huge loss to the enemy.
There was also good news from other routes.
The other two divisions also defeated the enemy one after another, and Wenjing was successfully captured.
When the news was passed back to the command center, the leader was overjoyed, and then issued new orders based on the current situation.
With one move, we took over the entire Yunshan area.
According to the leader's order, Li Aiguo and his men decided to continue the pressure and recapture the southeast direction of Chushan and Yunshan after resting separately.
The other two columns inserted into the direction of Gu'an and Sinanju respectively.
Stop the Korean troops who want to come for reinforcement.
Li Aiguo hummed a little tune as he led his men to the new battlefield. He looked back at these spirited soldiers and smiled.
Don't take this battle too easy.
There is no need to worry, just show some strength to the other party when you meet.
Let me say hello first to the rocket launchers flying all over the sky.
tactics?
Li Aiguo felt that beating these Korean military soldiers was a waste of his brain cells.
Having such powerful equipment can crush the enemy and reduce one's own casualties.
Why go head-on with them?
Now they are marching very fast.
The heaviest equipment was the 107 rocket launcher, and all the members of the regiment were carrying different parts of the rocket and moving forward at full speed.
When you are hungry, eat the instant noodles specially developed by Zhang Tian.
If one bag is not enough, eat two bags. Anyway, this stuff will fill you up.
……
Inside the Eagle Sauce’s headquarters.
A hawkish man with a big pipe in his mouth was sitting on a chair, listening to the music on the tape recorder and tapping his hands lightly on the desk.
He is MacArthur.
Currently he is the leader of the Eagle Sauce and the United Forces.
At this time, an officer hurried in and saluted.
"General, we just received news from the front that our troops on Yunshan Mountain have been defeated."
"A Korean division and the vanguard of our American 1st Cavalry Division were hit hard."
“Almost all of them were wiped out.”
Upon hearing the news, MacArthur stood up from his chair.
His face was full of disbelief.
In his opinion, how could this be possible.
If they said that the Korean army was destroyed, he would still believe it because they had never been able to defeat the Jin family before.
But how could one of our own people be beaten like this?
His group of people were well-equipped and had heavy weapons for attacking tough targets.
How could this be defeated?
The officer spoke again: "General, according to the intelligence sent back, it seems that the rabbits have joined in."
"They also brought a lot of equipment and killed all our people."
"Hahaha."
MacArthur felt like he had heard a huge joke.
He threw his head back and laughed.
He didn't believe this.
Given the Rabbits' current situation of being poor and without any equipment, what can they use to participate in the war?
How can this be.
He said confidently, "It's impossible. With their current abilities, there's no way they can participate. I doubt if they are Mao Xiong's men."
The officer still insisted on his opinion.
"General, according to what the Korean army provided, they were indeed the Rabbits. They underestimated the enemy and suffered a great loss. Almost all of their division was wiped out."
MacArthur shook his head and said disapprovingly: "Do you know what rabbits are like now?"
"Let's not talk about anything else. We can't even supply ourselves with food. How could we possibly get involved in this?"
"They have only been established for a year. Do you think they are still capable of fighting after spending decades in war?"
"This is clearly a false intelligence fabricated by the Korean army because they were defeated by the Kim family and dared not admit it."
Seeing MacArthur's certainty, the officer replied helplessly: "Sir, although I know you don't believe it, it is true. They really participated."
MacArthur waved his hand, his expression changed slightly, and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"These are definitely Mao Xiong's people. Only Mao Xiong has the ability to confront us face to face. In my opinion, they must be disguised."
"Otherwise, where would these equipment come from?"
"It's impossible for the rabbit industry to create it. How can people who have to ask the bear for help in producing screws create it?"
The officer said stubbornly, "Sir, you can't just ignore our intelligence and speculate. It is indeed the Rabbit Army that appeared. We know there are two divisions. This is a fact."
"Hehe." MacArthur laughed.
He didn't believe this unreliable information. In his opinion, anyone who provided this information should go to the cross and get a ring on himself.
Dare to say anything.
Even if a rabbit comes in to join the battle, it just can’t win.
He didn't believe it at all.
They had thought about this issue when they first landed in Incheon, and the White House even specifically studied this possibility.
In the end, they all felt that it was impossible. Rabbit would not and would not risk offending them to help the Li Jin family.
There is another reason why MacArthur came here, which cannot be made public.
It is to help the Koreans win the war, then unify the peninsula, and finally deploy troops at the Yalu River port.
As long as there is a chance...
MacArthur smiled and said, "Well, let's use time to prove our argument today. No matter what, we must proceed according to our plan."
"This war must be resolved before Christmas."
"We will send someone to negotiate with the Mao Xiong side and ask them to give us an explanation as to why they are here."
Obviously, MacArthur still thought he was the Russian bear.
Since the superior had said so, the officer could only nod silently.
He saluted and went out.
Soon, MacArthur paid the price for his mistake.
There was continuous artillery fire on the eastern front. The 7th Regiment of the 8th Division of the 2nd Column blocked a division of the Korean Army to the north of Yunshan City.
The Korean army's division commander Park Won-soo madly ordered his soldiers to charge forward and launched a total of three charges.
The people from the Seventh Regiment fought back forcefully.
Seeing that his advance was blocked, Park Won-soo began to ask for help from the Eagle Sauce people.
Soon, the Eagle Sauce gave the order to send their ace fighter division to provide support.
The 1st Marine Division is known as the ace of aces.
It can also be understood as the elite among the elite.
But there is a famous saying that we are fighting against the elite.
