.Chapter 95: Fast horse and whip

Complete occupation of Pyongyang and smoothly attacking Shuncheon can be regarded as a major turning point on the Korean battlefield.

But this victory came a little late.

According to the initial combat plan of the coalition forces, Pyongyang should be captured within one week of the war, and then the US military landed on the east coast of North Korea to open a second front, and attacked the northern part of North Korea in two directions. If there were no variables, it was not the landing troops that attacked Shuncheon, but the Western Front troops.

The reality is obviously different from the plan.

By this time, the Second Korean War had been fighting for half a month.

If Pyongyang was occupied one week in advance, the situation would be completely different. The ground forces of the Volunteer Army were about to enter North Korea. When the coalition commander arranged the next offensive operation, the first thing he considered was not the People's Army, but the Volunteer Army. To be precise, where was the decisive battle with the Volunteer Army.

Only on a favorable battlefield can the coalition forces be absolutely sure to defeat the volunteers.

There are three battlefields to choose from: one is the coastal plain area of ​​the West Gulf of Korea, the second is the Gaima Plateau in the middle of the peninsula, and the third is the coastal plain area of ​​the East Gulf of Korea.

The West Korean Bay faces the Liaodong Peninsula in China, and the logistics supply line is extremely vulnerable to attack. In addition, the volunteers can use the air bases on the Liaodong Peninsula to minimize the air supremacy of the coalition forces. More importantly, the long-range shore defense missile system of the Chinese team can pose a threat to all ships entering the West Korean Bay. The coalition must take all logistics supply to the ground, resulting in a significant increase in the difficulty of support.

Although the logistics supply line of the central battlefield is shorter, it is more difficult to ensure. More than 60 years ago, the United Nations General Office led by the US military suffered its first crushing defeat on the Gama Plateau, and was driven back to the 38th parallel by the volunteers, and eventually had to accept the result of no victory. The harsh roadways will minimize the combat capabilities of the coalition ground troops, which is obviously not an ideal battlefield for decisive battles.

The only ones that are truly beneficial to the coalition forces are the eastern coastal areas.

This place is not only far away from the main base of the China Team, but also the fleet can bear the heavy responsibility of logistics supply, minimizing the burden of support to the greatest extent.

In terms of combat, aircraft carrier combat groups deployed in the Sea of ​​Japan can provide strong support to ground troops.

The key is, how to lead the volunteer army here?

The commanders of the Volunteer Army also knew that the eastern battlefield was beneficial to the coalition forces, so the ground forces of the Volunteer Army have been concentrated on the north bank of the Yalu River.

If the volunteers cannot come to the decisive battle, all the ideas will be useless.

To this end, the coalition forces must make the Volunteers pay attention to the eastern battlefield, so they must launch a large-scale attack on the eastern battlefield, posing a threat to the volunteer ground forces entering North Korea.

The Second Land Force is still being reorganized, and only the First Land Force can be used.

According to Allen's deployment, after the coalition Eastern Army attacked Shunchuan, the First Marine Division withdrew and the Korean army took on all the offensive tasks.

In order to keep it confidential, the First Marine Division retreated to the rear with the supply convoy in batches.

By this time, the main force of the First Land Warrior Division had arrived near Yuanshan. As long as the fleet of transporting materials arrived, the First Land Warrior Division could set out from Hamxing.

It can be said that the biggest problem of the coalition forces is that they cannot keep up with the supply.

Without combat supplies, the First Land Force will not be able to play a role no matter how powerful it is.

Fortunately, the maritime logistics supply line has been opened. As the coalition forces expand the air-optimal area, it is difficult for the Volunteer Air Force to approach Yuanshan. On the sea, the aircraft carrier battle group that shifted westward has enhanced the anti-submarine power in the eastern part of the peninsula, making it difficult for the Volunteer Submarine to find opportunities.

If everything goes well, the transport fleet will arrive in Yongxing Bay in two days.

In the past few days, the First Land Warrior can still get valuable rest opportunities.

According to Allen's arrangement, three days later, after the First Land Division received supplies, it will set out from Ham Hing with the cooperation of four Korean divisions and ting along the coastline northward.

As long as the eastern front is opened, the ground forces of the volunteer army that are about to enter North Korea will have to worry about it.

The abnormal situation of the coalition forces has attracted attention.

Huang Zhibo did not return to Shenyang and stayed in Xinyiju. After receiving the news that the First Land Warfare Division was not in Shunchuan, he immediately convened a staff meeting.

There is not much information available for Huang Zhibo to refer to.

After the coalition forces expanded the air-optimal area, it was difficult for the volunteers' aerial reconnaissance forces to enter North Korean airspace. Early warning aircraft deployed over the local area can only monitor ground troops up to 150 kilometers away, and they cannot distinguish the quality of ground troops, so they cannot grasp the deployment of the coalition forces.

The sudden withdrawal of the First Land Force from the battlefield must have extraordinary significance.

During the discussion, the staff members expressed their opinions.

Some people believe that the First Marine Division has retreated to rest and prepare for the attack on Xinyiju and Jiangjie. Some people believe that the First Marine Division has suffered too much or that the logistics support of the coalition forces cannot keep up, so they have to temporarily withdraw. Some people believe that the First Marine Division has left the western battlefield and returned to the eastern battlefield, preparing to head north along the east coastline.

These views all make sense, but they cannot be proved.

It was not until more than ten hours later that a piece of intelligence sent by Li Mingyang allowed Huang Zhibo to see the intentions of the coalition forces clearly.

After the fleet entering Yongxing Bay was bombed, the coalition forces organized another fleet to supplement combat supplies, especially crucial oil, for the ground troops on the Eastern Front battlefield.

This fleet has left Busan.

If everything goes well, the fleet will arrive at Yuanshan in one day. If the First Land Force Division has retreated to Yuanshan, it will obtain the much-needed combat supplies in one day and a half.

The coalition forces are likely to launch a large-scale attack on the eastern coastal areas.

With troops, it depends on the intention.

Judging the enemy's combat intentions is Huang Zhibo's strength.

Although the coalition forces had completely occupied Pyongyang, the attack on Shuncheon was also very smooth. As expected, the coalition forces would occupy Shin'anju in two days and open up the big mén leading to Shinyiju and Jiangjie. However, in terms of time, the coalition forces had missed the last opportunity to occupy the entire territory of North Korea. Even if the subsequent offensive operations were smooth, the coalition forces could not complete the war before the volunteer ground troops entered North Korea.

A decisive battle between the Volunteer Army and the Alliance will be inevitable.

At this point, any commander must choose a favorable decisive battle environment, especially a battlefield that is favorable to his or her side.

Obviously, neither the western battlefield nor the central battlefield is ideal for the coalition forces. Only on the eastern battlefield can the coalition forces be confident enough to defeat the volunteer army.

If you figure this out, everything is not that complicated.

The coalition will definitely launch an attack in the eastern coastal areas first, advance northward at the fastest speed, and put in a stance to encircle the rear of the volunteer army, forcing the volunteer army to fight the coalition forces on the eastern coastal battlefield. Because the Second Marine Division has not yet obtained enough main combat equipment, the three additional infantry divisions sent by the US military are likely to be placed on the Western Front battlefield to defend Pyongyang with all its might, creating the most favorable conditions for the armistice.

The first land combat division can be used on the Eastern Front battlefield.

Faced with the People's Army, which had long been defeated, the combat effectiveness of the First Marine Division was very considerable.

Huang Zhibo would not expect the People's Army to block the pace of the coalition forces. If he wants to prevent the coalition forces from heading north from the eastern coastal areas, he must destroy the support force of the offensive.

After thinking it through, Huang Zhibo immediately gave birth to orders for Yang Yufang and Zhou Yu.

We must strive to advance the assault time twenty-four hours, at least twelve hours in advance, and we must launch a counterattack before the coalition forces set out from Ham Hing.

For the already very intense preparation work, this order is tantamount to injury.

When he received a call from Zhou Yusheng, Mu Haoyang was asking Lu Wen and other technical officers about the situation.

It is indeed easy to modify the People's Army's ballistic missiles. In addition to replacing the inertial navigation system, it is mainly to replace the electromagnetic warhead developed by the Second Artillery.

Fifty years ago, the highest level of war was to seize air supremacy.

Now, the highest level of war is to seize the right to manage information.

On any battlefield, only by mastering the information control rights and gaining the information advantage that exceeds the enemy can you defeat the enemy at the lowest cost.

In this regard, the US military has done the best.

Take this war as an example. Among the combat aircraft invested by the US military, there were more than 100 electronic fighter jets, and there were hundreds of "Wild Weasels" fighters specializing in air defense and suppression missions. In all the coalition's air operations, electronic fighters and air defense and suppression fighters can be seen. After the Volunteer Army participated in the war, the coalition was still able to firmly grasp air supremacy, and its strong electronic warfare capabilities played a crucial role.

Competing with the US military in electronic warfare is obviously a fight against the enemy's strengths with one's own shortcomings.

The Chinese team has long realized this, and to reverse the situation, the only way is to make both sides lose the right to control information and return to the same starting line.

Electromagnetic warheads that can be used in various delivery platforms emerged.

Like conventional warheads, the electromagnetic warheads also use the energy released during explosions. The difference is that the special devices in the electromagnetic warheads will convert internal energy into electromagnetic energy, rather than kinetic energy, and in the frequency bands that need to be suppressed, they generate powerful electromagnetic bos that are enough to burn all electronic equipment, thereby completely paralyzing the electronic equipment within the strike range and turning the attacked enemy into blind.

It is not difficult to install an electromagnetic warhead for a missile. What is difficult is how to improve the hit degree of the missile.

Although theoretically speaking, as long as the equipment capacity of the warhead is increased, the range of killing can be expanded, the load of the missile is limited, and the energy conversion equipment in the warhead is also limited. If the equipment capacity cannot be expanded unlimitedly, the range of killing cannot be expanded unlimitedly.

To do this, it is necessary to ensure that the warhead falls over the target area.

Unfortunately, the People's Army's ballistic missiles are not so high.

Lu Wen’s task is to solve this problem.

According to her proposal, the engineers first transformed the ballistic missile to have the ability to separate the bullet body, and then installed a correction engine for the warhead to increase the hit degree.

This is a relatively complex project, which greatly increases the workload.

Not to mention completing the preparations twelve hours in advance, it would be great to be able to complete the preparations as planned.

It was only clearly stated in the order that the coalition forces could attack Xinpu at any time and preparations must be accelerated.
