Chapter 277 Powerful logistics and transportation capabilities
Frontline anti-aircraft firepower can never be composed of a single anti-aircraft gun. The best way to block aircraft in the sky is a large amount of ammunition and a firepower network composed of a defense and control system. Therefore, the double-linked four-link anti-aircraft gun is the Korean anti-aircraft gun.
The best choice to conquer the city. To increase the firepower output at a single firepower point, the prevention and control system of the Yalu River has been established and gradually extended to the main control areas. The purpose is to force the American aircraft not to come over.
In fact, the Americans not only have aircraft, but also a large number of artillery groups. These are existences that cannot be fought now. The domestic artillery force cannot compete with the high-quality US military in terms of weapon range and caliber, so a more flexible and mobile combat method is needed.
Attacking, encircling and intersecting is indeed a good way for troops without heavy fire support, but the US military is a force armed to the teeth. They can bomb an entire mountain for an enemy without considering the loss of ammunition.
In fact, the pressure on logistics is quite great, because the losses on the front line are so great that the entire establishment has to go to the hospital for treatment. Americans especially like to bomb field hospitals. Americans who are usually very humane are not so humane at this time. Basically,
It’s not just medicines that are being transported later, but also medical staff.
"Gentlemen, the enemies we are facing now have new equipment. They now have preliminary air defense capabilities to a certain extent, and even have anti-aircraft artillery that can shoot down B29 bombers."
"Oh, my friend, you are not scared out of your wits by the returning pilots. They just mistakenly flew into the coverage of MiG fighters. Otherwise, they would not have suffered so many losses."
In a high-level meeting of the US military, many officers were meeting. They were confident in their military strength. After all, many of them had fought against the German army. However, after fighting against the Chinese army, these officers still believed that
Their own firepower is not strong enough. As long as they have strong firepower, they can defeat the enemy. This is the answer they got from the Germans.
"Do you still think that we can underestimate the enemy on the other side? Even if the Soviets intervened, there is no way that the battle could be like this. If that bastard MacArthur hadn't pushed forward and even blatantly bombed China's border cities,
How could we provoke such an enemy?"
"But we have already broken our skin. If the Soviet Union formally intervenes, the Korean Peninsula may not be saved. So now we must honestly control the war within the peninsula and not let the war burn further!"
"Then you can remove MacArthur from office, because after the Incheon landing, you can clearly see how much influence he has on Congress. It would be difficult to remove him from office without the approval of the president, right?"
There was actually nothing we could do about MacArthur. This man was used to being domineering, but it cannot be said that the Inchon landing was a good move. Its significance to the Korean War was no less than that of the Normandy landing. At this time, the US military still hoped
Use military strength to force China to cease the war. But how is this possible, and how can we compromise? How many people now come out of the Anti-Japanese War, and they know very well what the consequences of compromise will be. China has not been afraid of wars in turn.
who.
"Should we continue to increase our military offensive? President Truman has already criticized the war in North Korea. The originally good situation has been completely changed. We were almost able to occupy the entire territory of North Korea and then naturally unify North Korea. What happened?
, haven’t we failed?”
At this time, the Americans were still tightly defending near the 38th Parallel. Although they already had the intention of peace talks, the American representatives seemed to be just here to delay time and buy time for the front line to attack. The frontal and tough combat style was favored by the American junior officers.
It left a deep impression. Many positions were hit by artillery fire over and over again, but people could still be seen fighting back.
"Oh, God, I'm not even sure I'll be able to go back for Christmas safely."
Many American soldiers wrote suicide notes in the trenches, and some prayed towards the cross. The pressure of frontal combat was increasing, and the constant consumption of the air force was actually the most painful thing for the Americans. In just two months,
More than 500 aircraft have been destroyed. The last place American pilots want to go is the Yalu River Bridge, which is the gate to hell.
"Man, did you hear that the Air Force suffered another big loss this time and lost half of its fighter planes?"
"Oh my god, is it possible that we have to rely on naval guns to surround us again?"
The American soldiers knew very well how uncomfortable it was to stay in that small place in Busan, but there was nothing they could do about it. The current war situation seemed to be heading towards that point again.
"Don't worry, new supplies will be coming soon, and it is said that there will be a new battle plan this time. A large amount of ammunition is stored in Busan, which is enough for us to blow up the entire North Korean land.
"
A black soldier whispered to the two white soldiers beside him. It seemed that these ammunition gave these men a strong sense of self-confidence.
Who wouldn’t know about such a noisy transportation from the Americans? The chief asked Han Cheng to read this information just to see what he thought. What thoughts could Han Cheng have? Could it be possible that a ballistic missile could be made to directly attack Busan at this time?
?The technical level is limited, and the country does not have the ability to process and produce it.
"You have also fought in the war. Tell me your opinion. We have experienced the Americans' wealth. The question is, are they just transporting so much ammunition for fun?"
Han Cheng actually doesn't want to get involved in this matter. Can't it be seen by so many staff members? Why let me, a technician, speak?
"Can't the staff see it?"
"They know that so much ammunition must be used on the battlefield, but which aspect are they going to use it on, the frontal battlefield or the sneak attack on the transportation line? There can be no campaign purpose."
Han Cheng actually quite agreed with the chief's words. The Americans actually had no campaign purpose. Their purpose was to bury the volunteers alive with so much ammunition.
"I think these purposes are all there. So much ammunition is also used to attack transportation lines and for frontal combat. No need to ask what the purpose of the campaign is. The prodigal son has money. We can see it from the battle reports on the front line.
, the Americans have never stopped air strikes on the front lines and rear transportation lines, even if we shoot down hundreds of their aircraft. Therefore, the Americans will use several times more ammunition than before, even dozens
They launched a campaign attack on the front and rear. What they couldn't win with tactics was that they had to rely on logistical supplies. They could consume all the ammunition for a month in one day, and then American transport ships would arrive for two more months the next day.
of ammunition to supply the front lines.”
Hancheng has nothing to do with the logistics and transportation capabilities of the Americans. Logistics and transportation are poor, especially after the world war has just happened, and there is no telling how many arms are accumulated in the country. I am afraid that they will all be dumped here.
"Yeah, their logistics are really terrible, ugh..."
The chief didn't know what to say. There was no solution to this problem. All Han Cheng could do was stand aside. Some things could be said, but why say it when you know it would be useless?
