Chapter 216 Final Perseverance

.Peter never thought that the volunteer army could conquer Pyongyang in one day, and did not use much force.

Pyongyang fell into the hands of the volunteers, almost completely despairing.

It can be said that this blow came too hard.

A few hours ago, Pitt thought that the Third Infantry Division and the Fourth Infantry Division had a great hope of breaking through, and even began to arrange the matter after the break, that is, how to use these two infantry divisions to defend the 38th parallel. At that time, Pitt even believed that if the 2nd Infantry Brigade could be withdrawn, there would still be hope of defending Kaicheng.

Hope is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

If the Third Infantry Division and the Fourth Infantry Division are destroyed, the coalition forces can gain a foothold on the 38th Line, not to mention defending Kaicheng, it is a question whether they can gain a foothold on the 38th Line.

After a complete despair, Pete didn't even have the heart to consider other issues.

You know, just last month, a similar situation occurred, and the final result was that the First Marine Division had to surrender to the Volunteer Army without remaining more than 10,000 troops.

If the Third Infantry Division and the Fourth Infantry Division follow the footsteps of the First Land Warfare Division, I am afraid no one would expect the United States to win this war.

Personal honor and disgrace are still trivial matters, and Pete just felt that he hadn't done as well as he thought.

In fact, the most shocking thing was not Pete, but General Doolid.

Although Lindberg has not officially appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, as the acting commander-in-chief, Doride must bear responsibility for the coalition forces' combat operations, and he must be responsible for tens of thousands of US troops.

As the commander, how else can he be responsible?

Before Pitt was brought in, Du Lied made arrangements directly.

"I have ordered that the Third Infantry Division and the Fourth Infantry Division can break through.

The result was that during the daytime battle on the 20th, the volunteers lacked assault capabilities and had to focus on defense.

Something must be said, Du Lied bypassed the order issued by Pete and helped Huang Zhibo a lot.

At that time, the Fourth Infantry Division still had some assault capabilities and sufficient ammunition. Not only did it be used within at least two days, it also had the ability to attack the defense line of the 47th Army, and even had the opportunity to invade Pyongyang and then head south from Pyongyang. As a result, Du Lied's order made the Fourth Infantry Division give up breaking alone, but stayed and waited for the Third Infantry Division to withdraw from the front line and then break out to Pyongyang together.

This situation gave the volunteers a last advantage.

The supply of the 24th Army was not a problem, so there was naturally no reason to let the Third Infantry Division go, so it was almost impossible for the Third Infantry Division to withdraw from the front line.

On the evening of the 20th, when the Third Infantry Division began to retreat, the 24th Army immediately bit it.

Huang Zhibo was not a fool and immediately realized that the US military was about to launch a final breakthrough operation. As long as the US military blockade was blocked, it would force the US military to surrender north of Pyongyang.
