.Because the coalition forces' support was not as fierce as expected.

So eight and a half hours later the battle began, the full electromagnetic strike was declared over.

At this time, Mu Haoyang and Lu Bian had entered the People's Army's air-raid shelter.

It must be admitted that the infrastructure of the alien army is very solid. Although Dingping was not an important military fortress of the People's Army before the outbreak of the war, in this city with only tens of thousands of people, the People's Army built five air-raid shelters, all connected by underground tunnels.

According to the arrangement of the headquarters, Luohan left the strongest air raid shelter to Lu Bian.

The air-raid shelter is fifteen meters above the ground, with very hard rock on the top, and the soil layer is less than two meters thick, which is enough to withstand the direct bombardment of ordinary bombs. If it is hit by a ground-boring bomb like Zhao'ao, it is a different matter. The facilities in the air-raid shelter are very complete. In addition to being able to accommodate hundreds of officers and soldiers, there are all facilities such as kitchens, bathrooms, and infirmaries, but the warehouse is a little smaller. Perhaps the People's Army had never thought of hiding in the air-raid shelter for a long time. The Korean army did not occupy Dingping for a long time.

It also undertakes heavy logistics support tasks, using only explosives to destroy the entrances and exits of the air-raid shelter without destroying the facilities inside. However, many facilities have been disrepaired and cannot be used.

After letting several division commanders stay to help Lu Bian, Mu Haoyang went to the air raid shelter where the division headquarters was located along the underground passage.

When he arrived, Luo Han was talking to the headquarters.

Although all voice apoptosis equipment cannot be used in large-scale electromagnetic warfare, these equipment will come in handy after the electromagnetic warfare. In the third round of airborne, the transport plane sent several radio stations installed in sealed metal boxes.

Let the troops connect with the rear.

The main function of a radio station is not to make voice calls.

Instead, it receives battlefield information sent by the headquarters.

Seeing Mu Haoyang, Luohan waved.

"Are there new orders?"

The Luohan pressed his hand and told Mu Haoxiang not to speak. After a while, he said, "I understand, I will arrange it as soon as possible and report it immediately if there is any news."

After the call was over, the Luohan said that he had a hair and called a staff officer over.

Obviously, the headquarters deployed a mission, and it was a reconnaissance mission, because Luo Han asked the staff to summon the reconnaissance company and asked them to send scouts to Xianzhou.

After the Arhat was empty, Mu Haoyang leaned over. "Is there any trouble in Xianzhou?"

"It's not a problem. The vanguard of the Sixty-Fifth Army has arrived in Shangcangli, but it has not been able to occupy Shangcangli as planned. The headquarters asked us to find out the situation in Xianzhou." Luohan took out a cigarette and said, "If the Sixty-Fifth Army fails to complete the task, we may have to attack Xianzhou."

"Impossible, this is not within the combat plan."

Luo Han was stunned for a moment and handed a cigarette to Mu Haoqing. He also knew that the headquarters sent Mu Haoyang to hope that the airborne troops would fully understand the entire combat plan.

"Attacking Xianzhou is actually a backup plan to attack Dingping."

The Luohan's brow jumped a few times and helped Mu Haoyang light a cigarette.

"As long as we occupy one location, we can cut off the retreat passage of the coalition forces. The rest is to let the 39th Army attack Xianxing and force the coalition forces to retreat voluntarily. As long as we defend here, the main force of the coalition forces will not slip away." Mu Haoyang took a two-sip of cigarettes and said, "In the initial plan, the Sixty-Fifth Army should march towards Dingping, not attack Xianzhou. When making detailed plans, Qi Kaiwei revised the plan and asked the Sixty-Fifth Army to attack Xianzhou."

"Why?" Luohan asked immediately.

Mu Haoyang knew why Luohan asked, because letting the 65th Army march into Dingping could greatly relieve the pressure on the airborne troops.

"It's too far, and the Sixty-Fifteenth Army cannot arrive in time."

The Arhat was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand very much.

"If you march directly into Dingping, the 65th Army must bypass Xianzhou. After reaching Daxing, move westward, bypass the Beidafeng Mountains, and advance eastward from Monsanto. During this period, it has to pass through Tokugawa, the head of the Fourth Infantry Division of the US Army, and is likely to be blocked here. Even if the Fourth Infantry Division can be avoided, the 65th Army will advance more than 300 kilometers in eight hours and capture several villages and towns stationed by the Korean army. "Mu Haoyang sighed and said.

"Even if it's just an exercise, the Sixty-Fifteenth Army wouldn't be able to advance more than 300 kilometers in eight hours.

"So, let's attack Dingping and then wait here for the coalition forces to launch a counterattack?"

"Luo Beichang..."

"Don't get me wrong. I didn't complain, I just felt a little surprised." Luohan smiled and said, "No matter what, we have done at least what other ground troops can't do."

"What are you going to do?"

"First find out the situation, then wait for further instructions."

"It is best to let the troops start building defensive positions immediately. We have fortification construction maps provided by the People's Army, which can make full use of the People's Army's defensive facilities."

The Luohan nodded and said, "I have arranged it. More than 6,000 officers and soldiers are doing this."

Mu Haoyang was stunned and said with a smile: "It seems that my worries are unnecessary."

"Major, you are too modest." Luo Han patted Mu Haoyang on the shoulder and said, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd have asked several battalions to retreat and prepare for the attack on Xianzhou.

Mu Haoyang is not humble, he just does what he should do.

at this time.

In the Volunteer Army Headquarters, Huang Zhibo was also paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.

The one who fought the best.

It was the Fifteenth Airborne Army.

Although the attack on Dingping had nothing to do with Mu Haoyang, he was able to complete the combat mission as planned and over-complete the mission, which really surprised Huang Zhibo and also made him remember Mu Haoyang, not just Colonel Arhat of the Island Airborne Division.

In other directions, the situation is not ideal.

The 39th Army attacked for five hours, but still failed to capture Wu Lao Town, and even failed to open a breakthrough on the defense line of the US Second Marine Division. It was not that the 39th Army did not do its best, but that the US military fought very tenaciously. When the battle was at its most intense, the US military even used "man-fire tactics to deal with the tanks and tanks of the 39th Army. After five hours, at least three armored battalions and three mechatronic battalions had more than half of the casualties, and thousands of officers and soldiers of the US military were killed and killed, and countless tanks and tanks were destroyed.

Huang Zhibo was a little unbelievable that the US combat troops were so tenacious.

To a large extent, the tenacious performance of the US military should be the credit of grassroots officers. Although the Second Marine Division was the second batch of combat troops entering North Korea and did not participate in large-scale combat, in the past few years, the Second Marine Division has been tested in Iraq and Afghanistan, and performed quite outstandingly. The long-term battle has given the grassroots officers of the Second Marine Division very rich practical experience.

Before the battle started, Colonel Justin, the US front-line commander, made an accurate judgment that the ground battle was about to begin.

Although all intelligence indicates that the main force of the Volunteer Army is still on the south bank of the Yalu River and there is no possibility of reaching near the front at this time, Colonel Justin believes in intuition more than those who stay in the back and get information from photos and codes.

Before the 39th Army came, Colonel Justin let the troops enter the defensive position.

Then.

He did a very important thing: he sent communicators to recruit all the patrol troops scattered outside, and asked a battalion that returned to Xianxing to transport combat supplies to Wulao Town immediately.

In this way, when the 39th Army came, the US troops in Wulao Town were not two thousand, but three thousand.

The increase in force by 50% gives the US military more advantages in defensive warfare.

At that time, Justin didn't know that the Volunteers had launched a full-scale attack, and he didn't know any combat decisions made by the coalition command.

Rely on intuition.

He chose to defend himself.

In the circumstances at that time, it was not easy to make this decision, especially in the position of Colonel Justin, because his troops were located at the protruding part of the front line. If the Volunteers made breakthroughs in other directions, such as opening up the situation in Xianzhou.

Attacking Hamxing from the south, for example, occupying Dingping and cutting off the retreat passage of the coalition forces, then defending Wulao Town will only cause 3,000 American officers and soldiers to lose their chances, which is equivalent to staying to contribute to other troops. If it were others.

I will definitely choose to retreat, at least I have to retreat to Hamhung and meet with the large army.

Obviously, if Justin made the second choice, the result would definitely be different.

At that time, not only his brigade would not want to escape, but all the troops of the Second Marine Division, including the First Marine Division, which was further north, would not want to escape.

Only by defending the Five Old Town to the death can the Second Land Warrior Division have hope.

Only when the Second Land Force Division was given enough time to invest in the battle would Colonel Justin's 3rd Land Force Brigade have the hope of breaking through after withstanding the pressure.

To put it simply, any breakthrough operation requires a response. Without a response force, the breakthrough will not be successful.

Colonel Justin's choice.

Not only was he saving the Second Land Warrior Division, but he was also saving himself. Although the 3rd Land Warrior Brigade had to pay a great price, it was better than annihilation of the entire army.

The battle in Wulao Town was not smooth, and the situation in Xianzhou was not much better.

The responsibility was not on the 65th Army, because before Zhu entered Shangcangli, the 65th Army had to march 160 kilometers in the mountainous areas and also had to capture two villages and towns guarded by the Korean army. Shangcangli was the first military stronghold of the Korean army on this line of defense, and it was also the last military stronghold before he arrived in Xianzhou. There were as many as one full brigade of the Korean army guarding Shangcangli.

The total force is about 5,000. Although it is not a big problem to capture Shangcang with the strength of the Sixty-Fifth Army, it is too late. When the Sixty-Fifth Army entered Shangcang, there was less than half a small one left. In order to prevent large-scale bombing, the troops had to be evacuated in advance.

Obviously, it is no longer easy to get out of the upper warehouse.

At this time, Huang Zhibo had to consider the air threat of the coalition forces. As the sky was about to brighten, the coalition forces would definitely invest hundreds, or even thousands of fighter jets, as soon as possible.

Use bombs to drive the volunteers back, and then use ground troops to launch a counterattack.
