Chapter 499: What the hell, let's make peace
Looking from the sky above the peninsula at this moment, through the clouds where the planes are roaring, you can see the intensive artillery fire below.
But the overall attackers are in the north and the defenders are in the south.
The most troublesome thing for Ridgway happened. The puppet army deployed on the flank could not withstand the pressure and began to collapse. The main force of the enemy seemed to be about to start infiltrating again.
How to describe the word "interspersed" in English?
Interspersed bat!
At this moment, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces had a mess in his mind. Whenever he thought of the infiltration operations, he would recall the previous failures.
The five-star general has proven that the Volunteer Army's infiltration tactics are impeccable.
He does not believe in evil.
There is only one result, which is to be beaten up again.
The intensity of the fighting on the front line increased as more troops rushed forward and launched an offensive.
The entire front line of the United Nations Army was in a precarious situation. The unlucky guy among the Eagle Sauce soldiers was the 2nd Division.
In the several battles of the duel, there were four large-scale operations and it was surrounded three times.
Now in the fifth round of large-scale offensive, the 2nd Division once again appeared near the encirclement.
Once the puppet army is defeated, this American-equipped division is likely to be surrounded by the Longguo army and become the target of encirclement and annihilation.
In order to cope with the situation, it is necessary to increase troops and firepower.
The number of tanks increased from 800 to 1200, and the number of fighter jets increased from 1200 to 1700, so the manpower had to be increased.
The American-equipped troops, who had no time to rest, were forced to join the Korean puppet army of about 2000 people.
Because there are no more troops, we can only mix and match to restore the organization.
The air battle between the two sides continued. The Tianshu 2 and Tianshu 3 fighters maintained a hunting posture and shot down dozens of F-86 Sabre fighters in succession, making the Eagle Sauce's scalp numb.
The price of a fighter jet may be only a few hundred thousand US dollars, but the cost of training an excellent pilot is much higher.
The fighter planes shot down by the Tianshu basically all ended in the destruction of the planes and the deaths of the people on board.
The enemy's machine guns, rockets and missiles are very powerful.
A touch will hurt, a hit will kill.
Coupled with the superior fire control system, the Tianshu fighter is extremely deterrent.
There was a war-weariness within the Air Force, and they were unwilling to fly Sabre fighters into battle because they understood that no matter how good your skills were, you could not make up for the gap with the Tianshu fighter.
If it is a MiG versus F-86, the American pilot can use the superior turning performance to engage in a dogfight. The two sides are competing in flying skills and combat experience.
But when Tianshu plays with saber, it's like a father beating his son, and when Tianshu No. 3 plays with saber, it's like a grandfather beating his grandson.
There is another person who is hard to understand, and that is the controller of the Russian Bear. He began to supply MiG and T34 tanks in a steady stream, and seemed to see hope of winning.
He was happy to see that they were willing to use up all their family wealth to support the Dragon Kingdom’s army in a bloody battle against Eagle Sauce.
Among the Eagle Sauce's followers, there was a defeated guy who claimed that he could bring out hundreds of thousands of troops and only needed some American weapons.
Looking at the other party's words, the top leaders of the United States were reminded of the story of billions of US dollars in equipment going down the drain some time ago.
This guy once had an army of several million, equipped with a large number of American weapons.
The results of it?
Basically, American weapons fell into the hands of Dragon Country soldiers, and they suffered a complete defeat.
It has already been verified, so should we let his army come and be defeated again?
Li Qiwei had a splitting headache and asked the senior executives behind him a question: "What was our initial combat purpose?"
This is kind of soul-stirring.
This made the senior American officials present ponder for a moment. Yes, what was our purpose in attacking the peninsula in the first place?
At the beginning, we were worried that the Russian bear would intervene in the peninsula and we wanted to prevent this guy from expanding his power.
Isn’t it to restrict the development of the Russian bear?
Why are they fighting with Longguo?
Instead of doing this, it would be better to allow Manchuria, the autonomous prefectures, and the independent army to become bigger and stronger, which would be far more useful than fighting on the peninsula.
Liao Xiazi's independent army has divided up Sugang and other territories and suppressed the First Front Army's offshore fleet.
By only investing some second-hand warships and a little bit of money, the effect achieved was excellent.
On the other hand, the peninsula deployed 8 divisions of troops, which was almost the main force of all the army.
The fighting lasted for more than a year, resulting in heavy losses and enormous costs.
After reflection, everyone believed that the most wrong decision was to cross the 38th parallel and escalate the situation on the peninsula.
It was originally a small-scale dispute, but was fooled by that guy Mai Yanpipe and the war expanded to the entire peninsula.
This has led to the current situation.
The tanks and planes crashed in, but there wasn't even a splash.
The logistics list reported now once again involves several hundred million US dollars, and the factories in the rear need to step up production.
It's only been a short time, and hundreds of millions have been invested, but it's of no help at all on the front line.
In addition to the supply of logistical materials, the fuel consumed by warships, soldiers' wages and subsidies, etc. are also a large expense.
In order to maintain the fighting force of hundreds of thousands of people, the daily consumption of knives is a horrific price.
It can be said that billions of US dollars have been burned, and if it continues, billions more will be burned.
The top leaders unanimously decided that they should stop fighting since they couldn't win even if they did, so they should try to negotiate a ceasefire.
There is no problem with the peace talks and ceasefire, but Van Fleet is still being beaten. Have these hundreds of millions of supplies been supplied first?
After the meeting,
A 3 million arms order was approved to stabilize the situation and create an opportunity for peace talks.
A large number of orders are flying to the Land of Cherry Blossoms.
A group of military factories, like long-hungry gluttons, divided up all the orders.
War brings grief to people, but it also makes some people rich.
On the combat front, the air combat was still inconclusive, but the Eagles suffered heavy losses, destroying 98 aircraft and almost losing more than three digits of fighter jets in a single day.
Our side lost 67 aircraft, most of which were MiG fighters.
The casualties of the ground forces were not great, but more were the consumption of artillery and artillery shells, including 1.8 howitzer shells and 2000 rockets.
26 artillery pieces were lost, and the continuous firing destroyed all the artillery pieces.
I believe the losses on the Eagle side were similar. Due to the continuous artillery bombardment and fire from the air, dozens of artillery pieces were lost and more than 2 artillery shells were consumed.
In terms of the number of artillery pieces at Van Fleet's disposal, he had to fire more shells to neutralize the disadvantage on the front line.
In this situation, it is difficult for light infantry to decide the outcome.
The armored forces did not dare to move forward easily.
After the artillery attack ended, both sides sent out infantry to fight for dominance of the position.
The ground was so soft that even the light machine gun stand couldn't support it. When you stepped on it with your shoes, it felt like walking on the beach.
The firepower at several other combat locations was equally strong.
The fundamental reason why firepower has undergone a dramatic change in just a few months is that logistics was given priority and a separate logistics department was established to coordinate the whole process.
Zhong Zhicheng is in charge of Manchuria, while the battlefield is directly under the command of the headquarters.
Being able to transport the cannons and artillery shells produced by military factories to the front lines is considered effective production capacity.
Otherwise, what's the point of keeping the howitzers in the factory?
