The beacon of youth

The guard company won the battle completely after destroying four carrier-based attack planes that were sneaking in. In addition to the two oil tankers that were killed at the beginning, Li Yong and others shot down six enemy planes in one battle. Machines, six of them, planes and not toys, it was a great victory, the infantry position achieved more results than the specialized anti-aircraft artillery.

There was a lot of laughter, and several anti-aircraft artillery company comrades were also paying respects to the infantry brother. Everyone was happy and cheering, only Li Yong quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and whispered to himself The sound is good.

Speaking psychologically, he was more or less careless in the second air battle, because the previous victory was at the bottom, Vice Minister Li unconsciously looked down on the US Far East Air Force, thinking that the enemy's aircraft were nothing special, but he almost let the enemy drill If there is a loophole, it is like this in war. War has its own laws, that is, arrogant soldiers are bound to lose.

The enemy's brains are not stupid, and it is easy to cause unnecessary losses if they are careless. These naval carrier-based aircraft that suddenly appeared are very dangerous. Fortunately, they have new weapons in their hands, which turns possible losses into None, but lessons must be learned.

He Cuihua ran in like a gust of wind, grabbed Li Yong's arm and pulled it out, shouting: "Hey, we won a big victory, why are you not happy! What are you still doing in the hidden department? The enemy The planes were all shot away by us."

Maybe only the careful instructor Li Jia can more or less guess what Li Yong is thinking, but victory is victory, no matter how dangerous it is.The guard company won the final victory with the newly transferred weapons and the spirit of daring to fight the opponent. This is a real result.

In the following days, there was no sign of the U.S. Air Force, and there was a rare pause near the newly dug large hiding place for a while.Li Yong was also thinking about the reason why the enemy planes didn't come to attack, why the enemy didn't come to bomb, and why.

The enemy was really scared. The report of the Wild Wolf Team said that the Chinese deployed a large number of anti-aircraft artillery at the location they were going to bomb, just to deal with the planes in the sky. The Chinese also called this method "waiting for rabbits."

Americans certainly don't want to be the rabbit that was killed, and they have strong industrial strength as the backing.Lost aircraft can be replaced quickly, but lost pilots are not so easy to replace. A mature fighter pilot needs a lot of time to hone his skills.Requiring pilots to bomb an area with dense anti-aircraft fire is like deliberately letting pilots die. No one wants to do such an uneconomical business, and the same is true for the US military.

As powerful as the U.S. Air Force, it cannot afford a large number of losses of pilots, for this reason.For several days, there were no enemy planes to harass.This is the effect of Li Yong's insistence on air strikes.

This is a rare free time. Li Yong ordered the troops responsible for building the hiding place to seize the opportunity to expand the hiding cave and dig a few more openings to prevent the tragedy of annihilating the entire army after a cave is blown up. occur.

It's a good thing if the enemy doesn't come, if they come, beat them hard, it's better if they don't come, I want to speed up the start of the next hidden point.After the defense tasks were arranged, two anti-aircraft artillery companies were left behind to be responsible for air defense. Li Yong led the guards and two other anti-aircraft artillery units that came over for temporary support and set off quietly.

With the support of the Soviet Union.The anti-aircraft artillery of the Volunteer Army has made great progress. According to the level of two anti-aircraft artillery companies for each large hidden point, the country can fully afford it. With the full cooperation of the anti-aircraft artillery and the guards, the work of excavating the hidden points is progressing smoothly.

According to previous calculations, the straight-line distance between the frontline positions of the Volunteers and the Yalu River is about 400 kilometers. Li Yong’s plan is to build eight to ten large hiding spots. The smaller ones will depend on the specific situation. Regardless of the quantity, everything must be based on front-line service.

When the construction of the large-scale hidden cavern was half completed, the effect was seen. The supply capacity of the Volunteer Army's rear was significantly enhanced. The vehicles driving from the Yalu River Bridge were concealed during the day and marched at night. The loss rate has dropped significantly, and more and more materials have been transported to the front line.

The troops in front clearly felt this change. Before the major hiding spots were built, the food supply of the frontline troops was [-] taels a day, the second line was [-] taels, and the logistics units were [-] taels a day.

In the era when there was no oil and water in the stomach, four ounces of food could barely sustain life, and there was no nutrition at all, so many people suffered from various diseases due to lack of nutrition. The most typical symptom was ulceration at the corners of the mouth , According to the final conclusion of the investigation is vitamin deficiency.

The results of the investigation came out, and the reason was found out, but the logistical supplies were ineffective, the front-line troops were helpless, and the spread of the disease caused a large number of non-combat attrition in the troops. A thick shadow was cast on it. For this reason, Boss Peng and the heads of the headquarters were fuming with anxiety, but at this juncture, good news came, and the food supply was strengthened.

This is really encouraging news. Whether it is the front line or the logistics team, the food is much better than before. Not only the amount of staple food has increased, but also a certain amount of non-staple food, vegetables, meat, and a lot of eggs. , were transported up by trucks.

Food, ammunition, and all kinds of urgently needed materials were delivered in large quantities. Even the Ninth Corps, which was resting, received a large amount of supplies. This is still a force that did not participate in the operation, and the front-line combat troops received more shares.

Really solve the problem, solve the big problem, to a certain extent, if the logistics problem is not solved, I don’t know what will happen in the three battles that will be launched.

A large pot of white rice and a large pot of freshly steamed golden yellow egg paste were placed in front of the heads of the headquarters. This was the lunch of the heads, a very luxurious meal.

"Oh, damn it, my saliva is about to flow out." Deputy Commander Hong Xuezhi's voice was exceptionally loud.

"I would like to thank our Comrade Li Yong for being able to eat such a meal. Boss, the candidate you recommended is really good. Little Li Yong has done a good job. Not only has our material supply been strengthened, but also the American planes in the sky have been terrified. Do you want to give him some credit?" Deputy Commander Han Xianchu's voice was no weaker than that of Deputy Commander Hong.

Boss Peng is very happy with Li Yong's achievements, which shows that he has not misjudged the wrong person.

The chief of staff of Xie Fang’s speaking point of view is biased towards combat: “We have too many problems to solve, and a lot of ammunition has been transported, but the caliber of our army’s weapons and equipment is too complicated. For example, some troops are equipped with The [-]-type rifles were delivered, but the bullets of the [-]-[-] rifles were transported up, and the inconsistent caliber of the weapons put too much pressure on the supplies."

"The caliber of the weapons must be unified, and the merits must be put aside first. There is still a very important job, and everyone must prepare first."

Of course, the important work that Boss Peng said was extraordinary. After two battles, the attack momentum of the United Nations Army was contained, and the rampant coalition forces were beaten head-on by the volunteers, which made the defeat The Korean People's Army in China got a rare respite. After a short period of recruitment and training, the People's Army reorganized three legions (1, 2, and 5 legions) and expanded its total strength to more than 7.

According to the scheduled combat plan, the reorganized three legions of the People's Army will also participate in this campaign.

It must be a good thing to have the Korean People’s Army participating in the war, but there is a lot of work to be solved behind the good things, such as joint command issues, communication issues, specific attack location allocation, etc. Of course, the most important of these is undoubtedly the issue of joint command.

China and North Korea are nervously preparing for the upcoming big battle, and it is almost impossible to completely hide such a big battle from the enemy's eyes and ears. In order to deal with the upcoming offensive from the Chinese, the United Nations Army on the opposite side is not idle On the other side of the [-]th Parallel, fortifications are being repaired day and night. There are minefields, roadblocks, barbed wire, and a large number of infantry artillery bunkers. A series of bunkers are under intense construction. A big battle is brewing and taking effect.

On the outskirts of Washington, surrounded by lush forests, in a secluded private villa, a man in his 50s is sitting on a chair and drinking a glass of red wine leisurely.

World War II is over, and the whole of Europe is calm. After the chaos, people are licking the wounds left by the war. A soldier like him should have lived a comfortable life, but the damn Korean War made him nervous again. , He didn't understand the connection between a small country called North Korea in the Far East and the powerful American sharp point. Some people said that this is politics, and politics is like this. Soldiers don't need to understand, soldiers just fight.

However, as the deputy chief of staff of the U.S. Army, it is impossible to avoid leisure, and it is impossible to ignore politics at all. It is like an ostrich in Australia. When facing danger, it hides its head in the grass and exposes its butt. Outside, as a senior American soldier, of course he would not allow such a thing to happen.

Matthew Ridgway, 55 years old at the time, was born in a military family in the United States. His father was a colonel in the U.S. Army before he retired. Following his father’s wishes, Ridgway was admitted to the famous West Point Military Academy after graduating from high school and spent his time here. Had the best time of my youth.

Although Li Qiwei hates war, as a soldier, he also yearns for honor. If someone asks him whether he wants to stay away from war or win everything that belongs to him in the war, even he himself may not be able to tell clearly.

I apologize to everyone first, and then I wish everyone a new year. The old man bowed to the guys, and the update should be better in a few days. (to be continued..)
