Old Mike didn't pay attention to his words, but he was already showing his timidity. How could he put his hopes on the Navy and others? According to his usual character, he should rather die than hold on to the end and never give up, right?

There is no doubt that the failure of the offensive plan hit him a bit big. The military force that could be mobilized almost reached the limit of his control. He actually hurt Zhu Bin a little bit, and what he couldn't stand was that the key army crossing the river seemed to have fallen into a trap!

Chief of Staff Sutherland was still quite clear about the commander's mentality, but he knew better that the reason why the Japanese army wanted to do that tactic was rejected by the US military was not overly arrogant, but that the upper-level officials had already formulated it, and that China and Japan would fight to the death.

Everyone knows that the complex terrain of the Sino-North Korea border is not suitable for the development of hundreds of thousands of troops, especially heavy armored troops. Compared with the current military equipment between the two sides, it is obvious that the Chinese are better and more severely restricted. So it is very likely that they can succeed by letting them attack and then cutting off their heads and tails, using the geographical advantage to eliminate them layer by layer, and turning the entire northern part of North Korea into a flesh-and-blood mill.

However, with the emergence of Japan's geological disaster, Americans discovered that this crucial advance base may not be used. Then the entire territory of North Korea became particularly important. The strategic depth of the two countries was piled up all at once. More than half of the places were needed to replace the location of Kyushu Island, and the center of gravity also changed.

However, in the previous plan, it is not impossible to turn the depth of 100 kilometers into a river interception. However, if China does not attack, they can only wait.

This does not meet the strategic needs of the upper class of the United States. They want the war to enter a comprehensive and intense force as soon as possible. We will try to let the ground forces dominated by Japan hold China tightly and prevent it from getting a breather. Then when the American army is mobilized and transported to the battlefield to adapt to the battlefield and put into battle, the Chinese have become exhausted. Japan's power has almost been consumed, and even if they want to repent and betrayal, they are powerless.

In that case, the Americans will have the greatest advantage and can easily kill the Chinese armed forces in the Northeast without spending too much effort. Once they succeed, they can make peace with the Soviet Union and Russia to further seize Mongolia, and then condescend to the north and south, sweep continuously from north to south, and cooperate with the squeeze of the southern line. Victory is just around the corner!

Such a grand strategy cannot be imagined and played by the Japanese. The United States has nearly infinite potential for war, the mobilization ability of tens of millions of troops, the supply of equipment production capacity all over the world, and the unparalleled efficiency. Ten Japanese combined cannot catch up!

After all the calculations, the great plan that should have broken the deadlock in one fell swoop. In the end, it turned into an embarrassing dilemma, and it was no wonder that Old MacArthur was so angry that he was embarrassed.

Chief of Staff Sutherland must show his value. Following Old Mike's psychology, he made suggestions: "In fact, we have not gained anything. Although the crossing forces have suffered serious losses, there are a large number of intact institutions after all. If they can fully play their role, they may open up a permanent gap."

This means that MacArthur's great strategy is actually correct. It's just a small mistake.

When MacArthur saw someone helping him, his face looked a little better, but he still frowned and bit his pipe hard.

Seishiro Itagaki was cunning, and he understood what they meant with his eyes turned, and cursed in his heart: "Damn American ghosts! Do you actually plan to continue to let the warriors of the Imperial Army continue to fill in with the fierce artillery fire of the Chinese people? Humph. It's so shameless! Is the lives of our Yamato good men so worthless in your eyes?"

He, like the other side, guessed that the Americans were attentive to each other, exchanged glances and coughed, "We must note that the Chinese Air Force and Navy blockade of the river defense is very dense, day and night, and the long-range artillery fire is not destroyed, and the losses are meaningless unless the United States can provide means of confrontation."

The Japanese didn't believe in the so-called naval operations and southern offensives at all.

In the navy, the Japanese joint fleet has basically been abolished and has now been incorporated into the coalition and has become an auxiliary force. There is no consensus on how to crack the terrible early warning of the Chinese Navy, air defense and long-range giant cannons.

It is also very difficult for the army on the southern battlefield to get closer to China from the dense tropics. The dilemma it faces is actually similar to the northern battlefield. The harsh mountain combat, difficult supplies, and almost unsolvable low-altitude aircraft support are all the things the coalition forces have to face.

China has never lacked military resources, that is, the southwestern troops have always been warlords before, not as powerful as Zhu Bin’s elite on the northern battlefield, but if you want to say it, you can wipe it out in a short time? The genius believed it!

Chief of Staff Sutherland and Old Mike's eyes trembled as they were asked, and they were confused.

It’s really a pot that doesn’t open. The Air Force has proved that when using secret weapons, it can barely form a tug-of-war with more and less, but at night, it’s the world of others. The coalition’s night planes are very bad, and fighting in such a complex mountain environment on both sides of the Yalu River is simply impossible. What’s the use of simply reconnaissance!

Sutherland pondered: "The Chinese specialized ground attack aircraft are indeed a problem. However, our country's night fighter aircraft is about to be developed. I believe that in a few months, there will be a huge improvement! In addition, we will add a batch of advanced air-to-air weapons to assist in completing the entire river defense."

MacArthur impatiently explained to the Japanese in detail, danced his arms and shouted: "As long as the troops are brave enough, those difficulties can be overcome! Spread the soldiers and use the facilities for crossing the river flexibly and maneuverably, the Chinese cannons will not be too threatening! The troops bravely advanced after the past, and the victory is still on our side! Gentlemen, the young men in front are fighting, how much time do we have to waste?"

If you are slapped in the face, you must find it back, otherwise your reputation will be ruined by MacArthur will never accept it.

Seishiro Itagaki's eyes flashed and nodded in agreement: "Our Imperial Army is brave and fearless, and a little sacrifice will not make us feel afraid! As long as the support provided by the United States is sufficient, we will continue to attack bravely until victory!"

"Well! That's good! The United States will provide all the conveniences to help allies!" MacArthur nodded with satisfaction, feeling a little more relaxed.

Chief of Staff Sutherland was wary of the Japanese, who were so easy to talk to? Although they did not regard their own lives as precious, it seemed that they would not be the right way to fill in the bottomless pit of death without any intention!

But he didn't know that just after the two sides broke up, the Japanese gathered together again. Hideki Tojo asked impatiently: "How can he just agree to such a request? The Americans are deliberately consuming the precious combat power of the empire!"

Nishio Suzuki was also difficult to make a decision, but he heard Seishiro Itagaki say: "You guys. I won't repeat how serious the form the empire is. Then the main problem that has been difficult for us to stop the Chinese army's attack is the gap in weapons and equipment! This time, although there was a problem with the United States' plan and the losses were quite large, it should be seen that they achieved a valuable balance in a very short time! With time, it is not difficult to surpass! So why not take advantage of the opportunity of the stalemate to force them to take out their secret weapons, and we can take the opportunity to find out and master it. Then we can develop on our own and finally get rid of their manipulation!"

"Yehe! This one is great!"

Hideki Tojo is not really stupid either. He is just a bear-like temper and is just looking down on others. At this time, he also understands what Seishiro Itagaki means: "How could the Great Japanese Imperial Army always use gun envoys for American ghosts? When we master their technology and advanced weapons and re-establish the imperial military industry, then after we re-occupied Manchuria, we can refuse the entry of English ghosts and animals. We will carry out the next Chinese conquest war alone to obtain the greatest benefit! Hahaha. Very good!"

Nishio Shozuki's general also suddenly realized and smiled with a pout: "This is a very effective approach. Although some warriors of the empire must be sacrificed, it is for the long-term interests of the empire. We can afford this price!"

The possible division was temporarily curbed under the control of both sides with ulterior motives. While mobilizing a second airborne regiment, the US military also transported a large number of ready-made crossing facilities to the front line overnight.

MacArthur spent so many years in the Philippines and was not given in vain. He had a good set of marches in jungles, mountains, swamps, and rivers. In the early preparation of materials, there were countless rubber boats alone. The disposable wood and iron rafts reached more than two reserves per shift.

The previous attack proved that it was not a good idea to set up a pontoon bridge under the terrible artillery fire of the opponent. It would be better to take advantage of the night to use cables and iron ropes across the river to quickly rush to the beach with rubber boats and boats.

The troops crossing the river were no longer concentrated on a large scale, and the materials were even suspended from being transferred. They were all individual soldiers carrying compressed biscuits for three or five days (needless to ask, they were counterfeit Chinese products). They crossed the Yalu River from a wide surface of dozens of kilometers in units of squads. In the past, they rushed into the valley in one breath, without giving the other party a chance to exert heavy artillery and kill.

The entire Sino-North Korea border is the main battlefield less than 50 kilometers, one south and one north. Not only can the remaining Changbai Mountains not open the army, but the Japanese have a lot of experience in how terrible the Anti-Japanese United Army and the scouts there are.

A day and night of blood and fire fumigation passed. After a day of rest, more than 40,000 soldiers who were in the exercise at night gathered again on the lower reaches of the Yalu River. Thousands of small boats carrying horses were put down one after another, ranging from seven or eight people to more than a dozen people. They quietly swam along the remaining iron ropes and nylon cables after the explosion of the pontoon bridge.

The water in the Yalu River is not very gentle, but in winter, the rainfall in the tributary of the upper reaches is slightly stable. In this way, ships are overturned by waves from time to time and people fall into the water. Fortunately, they are all wearing life-saving vests provided by Americans. If they are lucky, they may not die immediately...

A lot of air defense weapons have been added to the hundreds of firepower points on the river bank.

A large number of dual-mounted 12.7mm heavy machine guns were deployed quickly, and more 20mm guns were doubled in density. In addition, a large number of air-to-air manual monitors were arranged along the river bank - a group of two large speakers facing the sky, which could amplify the vibration in the air and detect the roar of the aircraft engine in advance.

A batch of 127mm caliber anti-aircraft guns disassembled into parts were transported over and installed.

According to Americans, these cannons originally used for the navy have special designs, with air strike power and accuracy of ten times that of conventional shells. For safety reasons, the entire transportation, installation and control are all done by the Americans themselves, and the Japanese are not allowed to get close to them.

The information was immediately fed back to the headquarters, and Seishiro Itagaki and others were excited: "That's right! That's what it is! The American ghost beast thinks it's secret, hum, we will definitely get him!"

Advanced anti-aircraft artillery! If you really talk to the Americans so strongly, then Japan's most troublesome air defense problem will be greatly solved! The entire offensive front line only needs to worry about the opponent's cannons!

No matter how well the concealment is, the movement of tens of thousands of people working together is still too great! As expected, China's night flight fighter jets appeared again from ghostly on the river water, and threw down flares!

Countless bright suns, big and small, swaying with small umbrellas, were swaying down. The light shone brightly on the river below, and the smuggled boats were visible!

The air defense fire on the shore immediately opened fire and fired into the air, but the dazzling light covered it. I couldn't figure out where the plane above was, so I had to look at it like a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, and if I was covered, I would make a profit!

On the river surface, the boats and boats were fighting over the current, and they knew that they were not good. They left the cables and iron ropes, rowing hard to avoid them with the impact of the river. Sure enough, within two minutes, a sharp whistling sound in the sky came quickly. A series of shells rumbled and exploded!

Fast! Too fast! From discovery to shell bombardment, it is outrageously fast!

In the riverside mountain castle, Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshinobu who was in charge of the battle could not help but be shocked. How did the other party get such efficiency? It’s hard to understand!

This is not the first time they have experienced it! In fact, since the launch of the China Great Wall attack, when thousands of squads infiltrated the war, they discovered Japanese strongholds and castles from afar. Then they called for long-range artillery fire in the rear or air support strikes, and basically did not use infantry to rush to the fortress.

During this period, many times, the sentry discovered the other party in advance. But shortly after the shooting, the other party's support artillery fire came!

Ask yourself, the Lieutenant General felt that letting his troops discover the target, calculate the coordinate elements, pass it to the rear command center, and then to the artillery to correct, launch, hit the target... This series of actions takes a lot of time! Just computing is so big, let alone, how to determine each other's flexible coordinates and hit it so accurately during movement at any time?

Unless, there is a dedicated computing center behind it to support it!

This time, cooperation with the US military has opened their eyes. Among them, there are a specially protected organization in the coalition command center and the forward command center, which contains a large number of strange electronic equipment. The telephones and radios on the front line can be directly connected. Every time the reconnaissance coordinate parameters are reported, etc., a special combat staff will gesture on the fine combat map, roughly calculate the numbers and report them in, and soon, many elements and variables will be answered and then transmitted to the front line.

American paratroopers have begun to enjoy such support!

However, the Americans avoided talking about what those electronic devices were, and as the top secret, they strictly guarded them and refused to show them to the Japanese.

Obviously, the Chinese people opposite have even better equipment and capabilities than Americans!

"boom---!"

The explosion occurred more than a dozen times, and it was obvious that at least one heavy artillery battalion was launched!

The 100-meter-high water column, boiling steam, and fierce flashes all prove that they are correct in their judgment! What's strange is that not all shells target a single landing point, and there is a high possibility that they are attacked by multiple targets. They even calculate the location after the target evasion is in advance!

Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshinobu felt his throat dry, which was so scary!

Could it be that the other party reported multiple target coordinates at the same time? And their artillery, before firing the artillery, counted the river flow rate and the follow-up actions of people rowing the boat?! What a huge amount of calculation!

He really didn't want to believe it was true, but then he had to believe it!

There are definitely not one plane that throws flares in the air. It covers most of the river surface at one time. The scene of tens of thousands of troops crossing the river together is spectacular. After all, the shells that hit are immediately denser!

Not only large-caliber heavy artillery, small-caliber grenades also joined in, and the terrifying dense bombardment of rockets was added. In just a few minutes, at least thousands of artillery attacks formed a storm and rain, and it was overwhelming. The rumbling explosion once again turned the river water into a big pot of openness!

Just witnessed with your own eyes, there were no less than a hundred small boats that were blown up or overturned, but it seemed that most of them rushed over!

Moreover, this time, I was no longer passively beaten! The heavy artillery positions that were not dared to move after the deployment were finally released this time!

The Japanese's own **-type, 96, 150mm heavy field cannon, American m1 155mm howitzer, and 203mm howitzer, all of which exploded, smashing the powerful shells at the enemy's gun positions that exposed their flashes on the other side of the river!

Here, the **-type range is less than 20 kilometers, and the others are above this, especially the American M1 203mm cannon, which can hit more than 30 kilometers away. The weight is much smaller than the Japanese 240mm cannon with a weight of more than 50 tons!

The surging loud noise was like a volcano erupting. A dazzling flash suddenly appeared among the mountains that had sunk for many days. The large-caliber shells that roared out hit against the opponent's arrogance, as if they were about to evacuate the depressed depressed Japanese troops for many years!
Chapter completed!
