Before the three battles, Western news media still had some criticisms about the South Korean army.

Although the South Korean army's performance in the second battle was not ideal, according to Western media, the main reason for the poor performance of the South Korean army was the sudden withdrawal of the United States, which led to the chaos in the command of the South Korean army and was unable to adapt to the new situation for the time being, thus losing to the fast-attacking Republic Army...

As an army that has been preparing for war for decades, it should not be defeated so tragically.

In order to prove that the South Korean army still has strong enough combat effectiveness, Western media have provided a lot of evidence, such as South Korea has about 5.5 million retired soldiers, sealed up a large number of weapons and equipment, the people still have the will to fight, the terrain conditions are easy to defend but difficult to attack, and they have received military assistance from the United States, etc.

From another perspective, Western media are deliberately exaggerating the combat effectiveness of the South Korean army.

The reason is very simple. Several Western gambling giants had already opened a handicap. The bet was not about winning or losing, but how long the South Korean army could last. According to the news provided by Li Chengwen, before the third battle, only three Italian mafia families dominated by the gambling industry made yuan. The media in Western countries, especially the media in European countries, had close ties with underground organizations, and the Italian mafia controlled several TV stations. Through the news media, the gamblers made wrong judgments, so that the giants in the gambling industry could make huge profits.

Imagine that if the Korean army was bound to be defeated, would they use the money to bet?

After the third battle, no one believed the nonsense of Western news media again.

At this time, public opinion suddenly turned, and even the most optimistic military commentator believed that the South Korean army could not last for 0 days and would inevitably suffer a crushing defeat within 1.

It is certainly not a good thing to change public opinion suddenly.

I firmly believe that gamblers who see through the local area believe that the Korean army will be defeated quickly. Even some wealthy people participated in it. They spent a lot of money to buy the Korean army and were surrounded and annihilated by the Republic Army within 1. Only a very small number of gamblers who mastered the rules of the game knew it. The result was definitely the opposite of the publicity of the news media.

Because the hands are too weak, the battle situation has been developing according to the predictions of Western media.

Late at night, the 7th Army arrived outside Qingzhou and launched an attack after a brief rest.

The Korean army never expected that the Republican team would appear in the rear!

One thing we have to mention here is that military reconnaissance satellites have major defects.

As the most important strategic reconnaissance means, military reconnaissance satellites are becoming more and more powerful. In many cases, military reconnaissance satellites are even the only means to obtain strategic intelligence. However, no matter in the United States, the Republic, or other countries with the ability to manufacture and launch military reconnaissance satellites, they have not given up other strategic reconnaissance means because military reconnaissance satellites have insurmountable defects.

Generally speaking, military reconnaissance satellites can only collect fixed target information and are difficult to play a role in tactical reconnaissance.

Although the resolution of the seventh-generation optical reconnaissance satellite of the United States has reached c05 (the east-west resolution is c1 meters), and the resolution of the radar reconnaissance satellite has reached c25 meters (the east-west direction is c5 meters), which can accurately identify the vehicle model and even read the numbers on the car license plate, the reconnaissance satellite has very poor ability to distinguish mobile targets from fake targets. During the Fourth India-Pakistan War, the Republic deployed a large number of fake targets in the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley, which made the United States believe that the Republic will send troops to regain southern Tibet, causing India to make major mistakes in military decision-making.

U.S. military generals all admitted that the intelligence provided by reconnaissance satellites should not be used as a tactical basis when optional.

When the 77th Army headed south, it attached great importance to camouflage, and all vehicles were "dressed" into South Korean vehicles. In order to enhance its confusion, Pei Chengyi also asked the 611th Army and the 27th Army to collect more than 10,000 Korean license plates in Seoul and other places, and let the 77th Army's wheeled tanks be on the Korean car license plate and march southward. In order to avoid causing the enemy's concern, the 77th Army intends to lengthen the intervals during the march and concentrate on the company before the battle. For this reason, Pei Chengyi specially arranged low-altitude assault troops to open the road in front as long as there is no absolute necessity, and the 77th Army will not participate in ground combat.

2 The reconnaissance satellite of the inner army discovered the 77th Army six times, and regarded the 77th Army as the Korean Army six times.

Although the US reconnaissance satellite discovered abnormal situations in Jinquan, Yunshan Cave and other places, and even judged that combat had occurred at these places, after accurate reading, it was determined that the Republic's low-altitude assault troops attacked these places, and no attacking ground troops were found, so they did not pay attention to it.

Until the 77th Army assembled west of Gyeongju, the US military did not react.

Gyeongju is far away from the front line, and the two Korean infantry divisions stationed here are no match for the 77th Army at all.

The battle lasted only 3 hours, and the 77th Army captured Qingzhou.

At 4 a.m. on the 5th, all two air brigades acting as reserve teams participated in the war and made every effort to block the 6th Army of the South Korean Army that entangled the 5th Army.

After getting rid of the Korean army, the vanguard of the 54th Army arrived in Yingde and headed south at full speed and rushed towards Pohang.

Although the South Korean army responded before dawn and the 6th Army immediately contracted south, no reaction from the South Korean army at this time had time to stop the 54th Army, and could only increase the casualties of the South Korean army.

The Korean army left the position and bombed

Following one after another.

With the cooperation of two air brigades, the 38th Army, which had been struggling in front of the Korean defense line for more than a day, launched a fierce attack and quickly compressed the defense range of the South Korean army. The 1611th Air brigade, which had previously cooperated with the 77th Army, all assembled to Yunshan Cave to block the South Korean 6th Army's 6th Army's departure passage.

For the 6th Army of the South Korean Army, who was eager to move south, it was too late to return to the position at this time.

As a short-term legion, the 6th Army of the South Korean Army was not the opponent of the 38th Army and three air brigades, and surrender was the only choice for hundreds of thousands of Korean troops.

At 7:30 on the 5th, HNA bombed Pohang and dropped millions of flyers.

Each leaflet contains Chinese and Korean languages ​​that describe the time of the large-scale bombing.

At 8:30, the h-6m and h-99 aircraft clusters bombed the items in a concentrated manner and dropped thousands of tons of bombs.

After 9 o'clock, HNA dropped flyers at Pohang and announced the bombing time again. Then more than HNA's 3c0 fighter jets bombed Pohang in concentrated efforts.

After two psychological wars, HNA dropped a flyer for the third time at 1c30, announcing the time to attack Pohang.

For the Korean army, which was closed to peace, the third leaflet was not their death sentence.

At 11:30, HNA dropped leaflets four times and clearly informed Pohang's military and civilians that if they want to survive, the only way out is to surrender to the attacking Republic Army.

At 15 o'clock, the vanguard of the 54th Army arrived at Xinghai Town north of Pohang.

Before the large army arrived, the first Korean army came to the door. Of course, it was not the Korean army that launched an attack, but the Korean infantry that came to surrender with rifles.

The main force of the 54th Army arrived in Xinghai around 13, and at this time about 30,000 Korean troops had become prisoners of war.

At 17:30, the 54th Army entered Pohang and accepted the surrender of the commander of the South Korean army's city defense.

In addition to the officers who led the psychological warfare, even Pei Chengyi did not expect that without firing a shot, the 54th Army occupied the most important port city in the north of Ulsan so easily. If he had known earlier that he could capture Pohang without blood, Pei Chengyi would not have allowed the carrier-based aviation troops to bomb the Korean warships entering Pohang. Later, the Republic's Navy managed to pick up three Korean warships sunk in the Port of Pohang and dragged them back to the country for research. For this reason, the Republic also fought a lawsuit with the United States and Britain for several years, because two of the warships they picked up were exported to South Korea by the United States and Britain!

What Pei Chengyi expected was that sheltering prisoners of war was a very troublesome thing.

The 54th Army mobilized and used transport aircraft to transport combat materials (each y-14 carries 240 prisoners of war when it returns, and each y-15 carries 360), and only sent away less than 12 hours. Subsequently, the 54th Army had to detain the remaining prisoners of war in the warehouse in Pohang Port, and even settled about 30,000 prisoners of war on several cargo ships. Mainly because there were too many prisoners of war surrendering for a while, far exceeding expectations.

Pohang is lost and Ulsan is in danger.

The 15 Korean infantry divisions stationed in Ulsan have only 120,000 officers and soldiers, and they cannot stop two armies and two air brigades.

If Ulsan is lost, Busan will be finished. Yoo Zongchun, who arrived in Busan, had no way to retreat. In this case, he ordered the 8th Army stationed in Daegu to advance east at full speed, reinforce Ulsan, and conquer Gyeongju and Pohang at all costs.

Pei Chengyi was somewhat surprised that the 8th Army of the South Korean Army left Daegu.

Before the battle began, Pei Chengyi believed that the 8th Army, which had just formed an army, would not leave Daegu. Of course, he was not unprepared.

After confirming the information, Pei Chengyi immediately adjusted his combat plan.

The 54th Army and 77th Army, who were preparing for the attack on Ulsan, immediately turned their guns and pointed at the rushing 8th Army.

The 38th Army, which besieged the 6th Army, quickly transferred the 383rd Brigade of the 383rd Brigade and launched an assault on Daegu with the 162nd Brigade of the Air Turk.

The HNA, which was previously bombing Ulsan, changed to a full bombing of the 6th Army of the South Korean Army gathered near Anton, providing firepower support to the 38th Army and two air brigades.

Liu Zongchun's stupid mistake made the situation completely clear.

The main force of the 8th Army of the South Korean Army left Daegu, providing the 38th Army with the opportunity to capture Daegu. If Daegu can be successfully captured, it will completely encircle hundreds of thousands of South Korean troops in the southeastern end of the peninsula. Not only will it be easier to attack Ulsan and Busan, but it will also have a large number of vitality to annihilate the Korean army between the capture of Ulsan and Busan.

The prerequisite for capturing Daegu is that we must concentrate our efforts to eat up the 6th Army, solve the worries of the 38th Army, and allow the 38th Army to concentrate its forces to move south. To this end, Pei Chengyi will devote all air support forces to the combat operation of annihilation of the 6th Army, striving to complete the annihilation battle as quickly as possible.

The battle on the 5th made the rich men who made heavy bets more or less relieved.

For those who are concerned about the Peninsula War, the fatal mistake made by the Supreme Commander of South Korea not only ruined hundreds of thousands of South Korean troops, but also fundamentally eliminated the hope of the South Korean army to persist in the war of resistance.

It is absolutely the stupidest mistake to let more than 20 infantry divisions leave their strong defensive positions and launch an attack on the armored forces! (To be continued,)
