Chapter 13 Inchon Landing (7)
The First Land Corps near Blue Beach was hit by a devastating blow, which furiously made Almond, the commander of the 10th Army, who was commanding in the United States. This was an accident and a shame. In just a few minutes, their losses were dozens of times higher, how could the Americans accept it?
With their arrogant personality, they felt that this was simply unbearable. The Americans did not expect that North Korea was still hiding such a force. According to the news sent back from the First Land Force, the group ran away after fighting, without any intention of staying. Moreover, the terrain in that area was too complicated and difficult to pursue.
Almond was originally leisurely in the military headquarters. He completed all the tasks assigned to him by General MacArthur, almost without any flaws. Unexpectedly, he capsized the ship in the gutter. Almond didn't know how he gave it like General MacArthur.
You know, Almond had made a promise by slapping his chest in advance, but now he has lost a battalion of the main group in a short period of time. This is an unforgivable mistake, but what Almond couldn't understand is that the Blue Beach is already at the end of his strength, so how could such a force suddenly appear?
"God of General, are we going to continue to attack now?" asked the Chief of Staff. Obviously he was a little hesitant. If North Korea really retains a very strong force, then have they been fooled by the North Koreans? This problem is very serious!
Almond was smoking a cigar. He wanted to calm down his depression, but was it so easy to calm down? Almond knew that this matter must be known to General MacArthur. There was no hope of hiding it. Now Almond had no choice but to ask General MacArthur to make the decision. If such a situation happened, he could only ask General MacArthur to make the decision.
Almond waved his hand a little depressedly and said, "Send a telegram to the Far East Command to tell us about the emergencies here. Your Excellency Chief of Staff, we are now at the most critical period of landing, and it is impossible for us to stop our pace! But this situation is something we can't imagine. We can only ask for instructions!"
The Chief of Staff nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way. The progress of Hongtan is very smooth. Unexpectedly, our problem actually appeared in Bluetan, where we thought it was the most unlikely. If they defended it in danger, I think it would be difficult for us to break through their blockade line for the time being! If this is the case, once North Korea's reinforcements arrive, our landing plan will be declared bankrupt. General MacArthur will not be able to forgive us!"
Indeed, if the mission really goes bankrupt, then MacArthur will really not forgive them. This is a big bet by MacArthur, but no one is willing to bear the failure, and it is an accident after doing so much preliminary preparations. MacArthur does not believe in any accident.
Almond has not even found the shadow of attacking their troops just now, so what did he tell General MacArthur? Even Almond himself felt that he had gone through it. If this was the case, then General MacArthur might be able to swallow him alive.
There is a very strange phenomenon in Incheon now. Hongtan's offense is unimpeded, while Lantan's offense suddenly ceases. This makes the US military in charge of Hongtan's offense feel a little strange. How could the plan that was originally arranged in advance become like this? But they don't have much time to care about this matter now, because their top priority now is to attack, attack, and attack again!
In a dense forest in a low-lying area of Lantan, the special forces team members wearing camouflage clothes looked very cold.
"Captain, we just do this and leave? Isn't it a bit disrespectful to the Americans? They lost so many people at once, how could they swallow this? I think they will definitely take revenge on us, right?" a platoon leader of a special forces team said with a smile.
"Haha, I said the first platoon leader, they didn't know who did it, so how could they take revenge? I guess the Americans are losing their temper now, and maybe they think this is a secret force of North Korea! Haha, I think they will definitely not know that it was us!" The second platoon leader said with a smile.
"That's not, you don't think about it. Even if Americans have to doubt it, most of them will doubt the Soviets, right? Otherwise, they would have been the backbone of the secret training of the North Koreans, and they would never have thought it was us. And now our country may be just a unit with such strong combat power." The first battalion commander said with a smile.
Tang Feng was also very happy. The battle was really good, but he knew that he would definitely not be able to hold on for too long. They did not have the cover of heavy weapons and could only attack. This was no longer a pity when they were with the Japanese. The Americans' equipment was much better than the Japanese at that time.
In this case, Tang Feng and others are required to have very keen judgment. When will they fight? How to fight? What is the retreat route? All of these must be taken into consideration. Otherwise, it will be impossible to eliminate all the troops by then. However, it is really great to destroy so many US troops.
In Tang Feng's view, at least the Americans dare not attack today. In fact, Lantan has just held on for a while. The North Koreans in front of them are really too fragile to fight. They are all a little anxious, and now they are doing some help to the North Koreans.
Tang Feng said: "After a while, the Americans' intention was very obvious. They wanted to conquer the defense line in the Incheon line in the shortest time. This time they dispatched so many troops, which was not something we could resist. If our large army was here, even if there were twice as many Americans, it would be useless."
"Captain, let's retreat now? I think we can attack the Americans at night so that they can also know how powerful we are!" The leader of the row was still a little unwilling.
"Haha, there are opportunities in the future. We come here just to better adapt to the environment and understand the terrain. If our country does not participate in the war, we can also retreat calmly. If we participate in the war, then let them live for a longer time. Now our main task is to protect ourselves." Tang Feng said in a deep voice.
"Captain, where should we retreat now, to the north or south?" asked the second platoon leader.
"Look south! We are basically familiar with the terrain of the north. Once the Americans successfully land, their target will definitely attack the north line and take the rear of the North Koreans. We can just pierce the enemy's heart like nails to the south. Hehe, we can play whatever we want at that time!" Tang Feng showed a very strange smile.
Tang Feng and his special forces left like a passerby, leaving only a gorgeous back for the Americans. But it was this back that made the Americans so depressed that they were now feeling headaches for this sudden emergence. I wonder what to do next!
What Tang Feng didn't know was that the United Nations Army's command center in the Far East was in a tense and solemn atmosphere at this moment.
When MacArthur received a telegram from General Almond, he slapped the telegram on the table. With just one move, you can see how bad General MacArthur was in this moment.
"Who can tell me? Who can tell me what kind of troops this sudden emerged force is? What exactly does your intelligence system do for? Why did everyone appear and kill hundreds of us, but you didn't even see their butts?" MacArthur asked rudely.
"God of General, this army is too mysterious and it will be difficult for us to judge for a while, but I promise we will figure out where they are coming as soon as possible!" The people from the intelligence department were very depressed.
The American intelligence department is hard to say. Basically, they can see the troops of all sizes of Incheon clearly. The sudden appearance of the troops is really not something they can know, and it will not make the North Koreans have some of their own little secrets? But the intelligence department also knows that the general cannot listen to these, so they can only take the blame.
They were also surprised that, logically speaking, if such a force really appeared, they should have noticed it. How could such a powerful force appear in an instant? At least judging from the combat effectiveness of the North Koreans so far, it is absolutely impossible for such a force to have it!
The intelligence department is naturally good at analyzing and immediately said: "Genius General, can you see if this is a secret force provided by the Soviets? I think North Korea cannot have such a force, right? I think our goal should not only focus on North Korea, but should start from other aspects!"
MacArthur sneered: "Soviet troops? How could they suddenly appear here? Could it be that North Korea had seen our intentions long ago? If we had seen our intentions long ago, would they have only such a small amount of troops here?"
The intelligence department responded weakly: "Maybe it was just a coincidence. It happened that the troops passed by Incheon, or what secret mission they were carrying out?" Of course, when the intelligence department said this, he didn't even believe it. This was really a bit too depressed.
MacArthur said: "I don't care about this or that maybe! What I want is real, real, do you understand? My Mr. David Clark!"
"Yes, General!" Clark quickly disappeared into the conference room. Of course, he could not go to the front line in person. Now he could only ask the front line's spies to investigate through telegrams and other means.
MacArthur now looks quite funny. In fact, MacArthur originally thought everything was going well. Until this news appeared, MacArthur thought that Incheon landing had been successful and was very successful. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out in the end!
"God General, do we still want to attack the Blue Beach area now?" asked a general.
"Let me think about it carefully. If we attack now, it is very likely that we will encounter that force, but if we don't attack, we will lose such a good opportunity. Pass my order and let Almond on the front line immediately prepare a large number of searchlights. I want to make the Blue Beach as transparent as during the day. The number of people in this force cannot be too large, so we don't need to be afraid of such a small force. Let the heavy firepower be ready at any time. At that time, as soon as this enemy appears, I will bomb and devastatingly attack this force. At all costs, I will take down the Blue Beach before tomorrow morning!" MacArthur thought for a moment and ordered immediately.
MacArthur doesn't care about these things now. He cannot influence his entire plan because of a small group of people. His most important purpose now is to win Incheon and achieve a strategic victory. So what if such a small part fails? Everyone knows the truth that flaws do not hide the merits. MacArthur naturally knows that he will not lose watermelon because of sesame seeds.
Looking at MacArthur's firm eyes, the atmosphere in the entire command seemed to have become much more relaxed. Originally, everyone was worried that the whole plan would change due to this matter, but in the end, it would be a loss [31 Novel Network]. But now it seems that there is no such thing. General MacArthur thought of a more secure way.
Everyone admired MacArthur's wisdom. In fact, MacArthur had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward like this. This time the login was a strange word. If the North Koreans had enough time to prepare, the consequences would be unimaginable. So now MacArthur actually continued to give it a try based on gambling.
Since he has started gambling, he doesn't care about gambling more. MacArthur thinks that if the North Koreans have so many such troops, his losses will definitely be extremely heavy. However, judging from the current situation, it is actually a small accident on Blue Beach.
So MacArthur concluded that this was just a small group of people. How much threat can a small group of people pose to so many US troops? MacArthur was just to make the US military lose less people, but the situation is urgent now. There is more loss and less loss now. There is no difference for MacArthur now. Now he is just thinking about taking down Blue Beach and Incheon Port. In this way, the Americans can rely on Incheon Port and let the North Koreans take care of themselves.
MacArthur knew that as long as he seized Incheon, then MacArthur still wanted to play whatever he wanted?
MacArthur knew that as long as he took down Blue Beach, it would be equivalent to gaining control of Incheon. Now MacArthur has a hint of madness in it. Whoever wants to stop him at this time is equivalent to killing him, and he will tear down everything that blocks him. (To be continued)
