To avoid the edge of the Republic's Air Force, the Korean and American coalition quickly adjusted the combat side.

Treat the symptoms but not the root cause!

The reality before the Korean and American coalition forces is that they either stop fighting operations and follow the Republic's "orders" to withdraw to the south of the 38th parallel, or increase their investment and continue their attacks, and control the entire Korean Peninsula before the Republic's army joins the war...!!

Hundreds of thousands of troops were invested, and retreating was obviously impossible.

If you don't retreat, you can only continue to attack.

On the afternoon of the 20th, the South Korean and US Presidents and the South Korean and US coalition commander discussed countermeasures separately.

Because he was elected president, Westwood was not only present, but also the main decision-maker when Liu Zongchun and Frederick spoke on the hotline.

Although the Military Intelligence Bureau has great powers, it still failed to obtain the conversation between senior officials from South Korea and the United States on the hotline.

Based on what happened before and after, it can be inferred that Liu Zongchun must have asked the United States to send more troops, especially ground troops to participate in the war, and provide South Korea with more military supplies, so as to strive to capture the entire territory of North Korea before the Republic dispatches ground troops; Frederick, to be precise, did not fully agree to Liu Zongchun's request, but only agreed to increase air force to provide South Korea with more supplies.

At that time, the United States was not unable to send additional ground troops immediately.

Three U.S. military divisions replaced from South Korea were deployed in the Philippines, Guam and Hawaii respectively. With the US military maritime capacity, Guam can be sent to the Philippines in 3 days, the Philippines can be sent to South Korea in 5 days, and Hawaiian ground combat troops in 6 days. Participate in ground combat operations.

If Frederick makes the decision, he will definitely increase his troops immediately.

Westwood clearly doesn't want to take over the mess of his ex. If it weren't for signing an alliance treaty with South Korea, he wouldn't even agree to assist the South Korean army in attacking North Korea. On the issue of dispatching ground troops, Westwood's attitude has always been very cautious. If it can be avoided, it can be avoided. If it can be reduced, it can be reduced.

Compared with the dispatch of ground forces, the problem of dispatching air forces is not very big.

Most US combat aircraft use "long-range attack ammunition outside the defense zone" to attack ground targets. They either operate over the South Korean military-controlled area or over the Japanese Sea. They rarely enter the control of the North Korean military to go over the sky. Even if fighter planes are occasionally shot down over the North Korean military-controlled area. Because the Republic's Army has not yet participated in the war, the "Navy SEALs" where they follow the amphibious fleet to operate have great confidence in rescuing the parachuting pilot.

Providing supplies is not a problem. The more materials the war consumes, the more beneficial it will be to the United States.

If you win, South Korea must gradually repay the materials obtained from the United States in the future in accordance with the relevant agreements signed. Even if you lose, you can still achieve the goal of consuming the Republic, which is much better than hoarding mold in the country.

The attitude of the senior leaders determines the attitude of the Korean and American coalition generals.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to adjust the combat plan, the US generals took the "initiative". At that time, the main role was Major General Baumann, the commander of the 1st Armored Division, Major General Duchiway, the commander of the 2nd Marine Division, and Lieutenant General Peebrook, the commander of the 8th Army, who returned to China on the 16th to report their duties and have not returned to South Korea so far.

Bauman's suggestion was: the South Korean army immediately joined the reserve force and quickly captured Qinghe and Haichuan while the combat supplies were sufficient.

Du Qiwei's suggestion was: On the eastern battlefield, the South Korean army quickly headed north to replace the 1st Marine Division and advance towards Pyongyang. The US military concentrated all forces of the two Marine Divisions and the 1c11th Air Assault Division to attack Hamhung as quickly as possible, and strive to complete the combat operation to capture the northern part of North Korea before the Republic joins the war.

Relatively speaking, Duchwie's suggestion is more decisive.

The US military is still responsible for advancing to Pyongyang and will have to disperse its already insufficient forces. According to the combat plan formulated by the South Korean army, even if the US military does not resist the North Korean army when it heads north, it will only reach the Yalu River as soon as possible on the 25th. It is a blessing to be able to complete the combat operation to capture the northern border area of ​​North Korea on the 28th. The Republic's Army will definitely participate in the war within a few days, and it will not be delayed until 2025!

If the US military concentrates its forces north, it can capture Hamxing on the 22nd, arrive at Changjin Lake and the Go Zhan Lake on the 23rd, and then divides its troops to advance. The troops will attack Qianchuan from Lincai to strive to capture Jiangjie on the 24th and push the front line to Manpu; in addition, the northward Jinzhen Shuyi will advance, striving to capture Huishan before the 24th and arrive in Xinde on the 26th. As long as the advancement is rapid, the US military will likely complete most of the combat missions before the Republic Army enters North Korea.

The key question for the South Korean and US coalition forces is not when to capture Pyongyang, but how quickly it can block North Korea's north gate.

The South Korean generals had to give in and finally adopted the suggestions of the US generals.

Relatively speaking, the mobilization of the US military is even more threatening.

The three US aircraft carrier battle groups that were originally active near Jeju Island sailed towards the Korean Strait on the morning of the 20th and were preparing to enter the Sea of ​​Japan. The USS Clinton aircraft carrier battle group that was rushing to turn again and prepares to enter the Sea of ​​Japan from the Tsuki Strait. The USS Reagan aircraft carrier battle group, which departed from the west coast of the United States, accelerated its navigation speed and was expected to arrive at the war zone on the night of the 24th. The US military put 8 of the 13 aircraft carrier battle groups into battle, and three of the other 5~ of the aircraft carriers were undergoing overhaul, and returned to the base for maintenance in early December, and could not participate in the war. In other words, the US will be able to mobilize all aircraft carrier battle groups to be put into the Peninsula War.

The US Air Force is moving faster.

At 15:30, the F-22 fighter jet that took off from Alaska Air Force Base 7 hours ago arrived at the Japanese Air Force Base after two aerial refuelings.

In the three hours that came, there were a total of 1f-22 fighter jets, which lasted for more than 800 US combat aircraft deployed in Japan that night, including 336 F--22, while the US Air Force had only F-22 in total. In addition, there were 384f-35 fighters, 18e-111a early warning aircraft, 24 E--1cb~electronic fighters, 36 KB767 and 24 Ka330 oil engines. If the transport personnel, ground handling equipment and important materials were included, the ground C-177 transport aircraft arrived at Japan's fighter jets to aid air force!

It seems that the United States intends to fight the Republic to a "life and death" battle.

In fact, the United States has never thought of fighting to the death with the Republic, because everyone knows that with the Republic's army entering North Korea, the good days of the South Korean and American coalition forces will come to an end. If the United States intends to "defend" the Korean Peninsula, in addition to mobilizing naval and air combat forces, it must invest enough ground forces as soon as possible. The 2nd Armored Division of the United States Army, the 3rd Infantry Division, the 1st Infantry Division, the 1st Infantry Division, the 3rd Infantry Division of the United States Army, the 3rd Infantry Division, the 1st Infantry Division of the United States Marine Corps, the 3rd Marine Division of the United States Marine Corps, and the 3rd Marine Division of the United States Marine Corps are all "sleeping" at home; among the 13 amphibious fleets, in addition to the 5 being maintained, there are 6 cruising in other places and not reaching the battlefield. Will the United States "fight hard" with the Republic?

The United States will not fight desperately, but just wants to lay a solid foundation for the South Korean army as soon as possible to avoid being completely involved and unable to escape.

This series of mobilizations has even been seen by many commentators hired by the news media. The United States has used its "full effort" to prevent air supremacy from falling into the hands of the Republic's Air Force, causing the US military to suffer even more severe casualties. The second is to push the front as far as possible to the north and compress the combat space of the Republic's Army after participating in the war.

The best result is that after paying a heavy price, the Republic made peace with its opponents on the 38th parallel.

Everything the United States does is moving towards this goal.

The question is, will the Republic accept such a result?

On the afternoon of the 20th, when the Korean and American coalition forces did not "invade the north", the General Staff once again adjusted its combat plan and allowed the 21st Regiment of the Dabao Air Force Base to be deployed (according to the organization of the Republic Air Force, the fighter unit with the odd number is the fighter unit with the odd number, the fighter unit with the first number is the fighter unit with the main air combat operation, and the fighter unit with the first number is the fighter unit with the ground strike) to use long-range attack ammunition to attack the Korean army ground units entrenched in Tushan.

Although the scale of the bombing was not very large, the reaction was very large.

The Korean army reacted very quickly and suffered heavy losses.

At 16:25, the South Korean army dispatched hundreds of fighters to fight against the 72 fighter jets of the Republic Air Force over Ping'an South Road. Within 15 o'clock, the South Korean army lost 47 fighter jets, and the Republic Air Force lost only 9 fighter jets.

In this air battle, both sides entered the fighting distance for the first time.

Fortunately, the Korean army voluntarily evacuated the battlefield very rationally, otherwise it would have lost several early warning aircraft.

The South Korean Air Force, which mainly has the f-35k, can be considered a "middleweight boxer" at most, and is not on the same level as the Republic Air Force, which is a "heavyweight boxer".

If the US military does not take action, at this speed, the South Korean Air Force will lose all combat aircraft.

At this point, the US military cannot hesitate.

As the night entered, the entire US Air Force, who had completed the adjustment, was dispatched to "swear to death" to seize air supremacy.

That night, the 11th Wing and more than 200 fighter jets from the 31st Wing of Cheonghe Air Force Base were dispatched in turn to compete with the South Korean and American coalition forces for air supremacy in northern North Korea.

The air battle was extremely fierce and extremely tragic.

Both the Republic Air Force and the US Air Force know the importance of air supremacy and are more aware of the importance of seizing air supremacy at the first time.

Whoever controls the sky will control the future!

Unlike the South Korean Air Force, the US F-22 has "complete" performance and is equipped with equipment similar to active electromagnetic interference devices. That night, at least 5 combat air combat operations were fought. The two world's most advanced air combat fighters, j-14 and f-22, finally met on the battlefield. Although it was difficult for the pilots to see clearly the appearance of the enemy plane on the dark night, the fierce battle told the pilots on both sides that the opponent was not a coward.

The next day, the Republic Air Force announced that it would shoot down 74 enemy planes during combat and lose 1 fighter plane.

The US Air Force also quickly announced that it would shoot down 57 enemy planes in combat and lose the battle planes.

Strictly speaking, both sides exaggerated the results because the Republic Air Force shot down many South Korean Air Force fighter jets. When counting the results, the US Air Force calculated some Korean fighter jets shot down by the enemy during the battle. Neither side announced the biggest loss: the Republic Air Force had at least one KJ-22 and one dy--1 shot down, and the US Air Force lost one e-111a and three e--2d.

That night, the 1st Marine Division of the US Army arrived in Xianzhou and began to attack Hamxing before dawn.

Ground battle has entered a critical stage!
