Bright sword, I have a red police base car
Chapter 617 Van Fleet and Li Mei started to trick the Japanese!
LeMay and the United Nations Air Force Command began to evacuate from Tokyo, and the surviving forces of the 21st U.S. Strategic Bomber Wing, which had been hit, immediately took off from the runway and moved to the air base in Okinawa.
However, although the mold was evacuated, the fire in Tokyo was not put out.
As the oil depot burned and exploded, the fire in Tokyo Bay tended to move towards the city of Tokyo.
In order to prevent the fire from spreading, the Japanese cabinet could only frantically mobilize various forces to fight the fire.
The fire in Tokyo Bay reminded the Japanese of the fire attack by LeMay during World War II, and the fundamental reason why Tokyo suffered such a blow this time was also because of LeMay's arrival.
The fire burned in Tokyo Bay for seven days before it was put out. The entire Fungal Air Force's operations were delayed for seven days because of the fire. Also affected were Fungal naval ships.
After all, as the largest oil storage depot in East Asia at that time, the oil reserves in Tokyo Bay were basically prepared for the huge Fungal fleet. After the oil depot was destroyed, many Fungal ships performing non-emergency combat missions were directly ordered to stop sailing.
However, although the mold's actions were disrupted, the Volunteer Air Force's actions continued.
Less than 2 minutes after the Logistics Support Regiment's Dongfeng 20 landed, the Volunteer Air Force's H- and H- bombers had already arrived over South Korea.
Although the previous bombing targets of the J-5 were the air force bases in China, the J-5's bomb load was quite small, so it could only paralyze these airports for a short period of time.
Therefore, the remaining strike missions will have to be carried out by the bomber units of the Volunteer Air Force.
At this time, the engineering corps of the Fungus is carrying out emergency repairs on the airport runway, but due to the unexploded bombs of the cluster bombs, the repair progress of the Fungus airport will take a long time.
However, during this period of time, the bombers of the Volunteer Air Force had already reached the target.
"Command Center, 433 has arrived at the designated airspace, requesting strike permission!"
"Attention all units! This is the command center. All crews are free to attack after arriving in the airspace!"
After receiving the order for a free strike, the H-6 bomber of the Volunteer Air Force immediately opened its bomb bay.
Since Zhang Shijie was going to hold a welcoming ceremony for Li Mei, who was also a "barbecue master", the warheads of the laser-guided munitions carried by these bombers were all napalm bombs.
Before Zhang Shijie's troops arrived at Changjin Lake, the Volunteer Army lost a considerable number of troops under the bombing of fungal napalm bombs. The Volunteer Army soldiers who were hit could only be burned to death by the napalm bombs. Zhang Shijie always kept this situation in mind.
This time it’s time for Mold to try out what the “barbecue master” from the East is like.
As napalm bombs fell to the ground from the bomb bay in the belly of the plane, they flew towards key targets at the Fungus Airport under the guidance of laser indicators.
Targets such as hangars, oil depots, ammunition depots, barracks and command centers that were previously ignored by the J-5 have now become the main force of attacks by the H-6 bombers.
Accompanied by a series of explosions, the entire mold airport was instantly engulfed in fire. Under the high temperature generated by the napalm bombs, even the steel in the mold airport began to melt and deform.
At this time, the airport had become a living hell. Under such a fierce fire, the rescue team did not even have time to control the fire before they were directly covered by the flames of napalm bombs.
Under the long-term high temperature baking, the moldy oil depot and ammunition depot also began to explode.
As the bombing operations of the H-6 bombers gradually came to an end, the airport in South Korea was also destroyed along with all the fighter planes under the attack of the Volunteer Air Force.
Under the combined attack of the Logistics Support Corps and the Volunteer Air Force, Van Fleet, who was at the United Nations Command at the time, found that he now had no air force available.
All the airports in South Korea were destroyed as a result of the bombing, and the navy's aircraft carriers either had their radars and avionics systems destroyed and had to return for repairs, or had to go to the farther Okinawa area for resupply due to lack of fuel. The air force deployed in Japan also had only the bomber unit with such a long range, but no escort fighters.
Even the 21st Strategic Bomber Wing was severely damaged by the Chinese attack and was transferred to Okinawa by LeMay.
In the chaos, the air supremacy over the entire Korean Peninsula fell into the hands of the Chinese!
VanVleet: Is this fucking right?
Although Van Vleet's face was full of disbelief at this time, the fact was that the Molds did not have any air support to fight together with them.
In this case, how to attack becomes Van Vleet's next focus.
There was not enough firepower and no air superiority. Van Fleet looked at his troops who had just retreated and didn't even know what to say for a moment.
Reason told Van Fleet that the UN forces should not launch any more offensives until the air strike force was restored.
However, this situation can only remain in Van Fleet's mind. The reality is that it is difficult for them to stop fighting and wait for the air force to rest and recover.
First of all, all their airports and radars in South Korea had been destroyed, and the navy's supply center in Tokyo had also been eliminated by the Chinese army. It was unknown how much time it would take for them to prepare.
After replenishing so many troops and equipment, Congress would certainly keep urging Van Fleet to speed up the attack. If he wants to stop the attack now, the first one to disagree will be the ugly Congress.
"The enemy is on Capitol Hill" had become a consensus among the top UN military leaders at this time.
Secondly, after the fungi took the initiative to attack, they could not be sure whether the Chinese army would attack them.
According to the current situation, it is impossible for the US Air Force to recover its combat effectiveness in a short period of time. At this time, the air supremacy over South Korea will be completely handed over to China.
Without air superiority, Van Fleet didn't even know how to fight.
After all, not having air superiority means that their heavy firepower will attract the Chinese army's air strike force. Even if they have more heavy firepower, they can't withstand the Chinese army's bombing!
As for tactics such as guerrilla warfare
Listen, is it possible for mold to do these things?
At this time, Van Fleet suddenly wanted to continue the negotiations, but Congress would not agree to this idea, and the Chinese and the Northern Dynasties would not agree to it either.
"Order the troops to take a three-day covert rest. The communications unit will immediately contact the Japanese side and ask General Li Mei how long it will take for the air force to complete its preparations!" "Yes, sir!"
At this time, Li Mei and a large number of mold troops were moving towards Osaka.
Tokyo is on the verge of collapse. The fire in Tokyo Bay and future explosions will surely destroy Tokyo into a state of chaos. For Mold, if it doesn't leave now, when will it leave?
However, Li Mei just walked away with the mold, which made the Japanese side feel uncomfortable.
Such a large fire was simply not a disaster level that a castrated country like theirs could handle. If they wanted to put out the fire, they would have to mobilize all the personnel and forces in Tokyo, and would have to endure considerable sacrifices.
For this situation, the Japanese will have to pay an unimaginable price.
But the situation at this time is that no matter how much price Japan pays, the United Nations forces will not care at all.
It's just a vassal state. So what if a few people died?
In the eyes of the mold, even if the entire Tokyo is burned down, it is not as valuable as their reserve fuel!
On the way to Osaka, LeMay also received a telegram from Van Fleet. Looking at the content of the telegram, LeMay was very clear that it was indeed not suitable to attack under the current circumstances, but not attacking was something no one could accept.
In this situation, LeMay and Van Fleet had to consider how to carry out combat normally while reducing the number of casualties among the troops.
Thinking of this, Li Mei felt a headache again.
Given the current situation, it is unlikely that the United States will send more troops, and it seems unrealistic to ask other countries in the United Nations to send more troops.
After all, after the UN forces were completely defeated, they had more or less sent additional combat forces to North Korea. Now, just a few days after the reinforcements arrived, they asked for more troops again, which might cause the troops of these countries to withdraw from the battle.
The South Korean army, which is most likely to gain a numerical advantage
It’s hard to put it into words!
However, just when LeMay and Van Fleet were worrying about the issue of troop strength, LeMay looked at the streets leaving Tokyo and immediately had some thoughts in his mind, and then sent his ideas to Van Fleet.
"What? Recruiting Japanese to join the army?!"
Upon hearing this, the staff officers around Van Fleet turned their eyes to their commander Van Fleet.
Van Fleet nodded when he heard this, but this affirmative action made the staff around him feel unbelievable.
So a staff officer said: "But General, as a defeated country, Japan cannot participate in the battle!"
Hearing what his staff said, Van Fleet smiled and said, "They can't participate, but can't they fight in the name of mold? Didn't we have the Japanese Independent Fifth Infantry Regiment before? What's the problem with having an additional Japanese Independent Division now?"
In fact, Van Fleet and LeMay's ideas are very feasible. As a vassal state controlled by the U.S., the Japanese are now very obedient to their U.S. father. Moreover, it is only 1951, and it has only been six years since the end of World War II. There are still a large number of battle-hardened veterans of World War II still alive in Japan.
Moldy is very clear about the fighting effectiveness of these Japanese.
Back then, the Chinese suffered a lot at the hands of the Japanese in the Pacific Ocean. Once these troops are equipped with American equipment and fight against the Chinese, they will definitely cause heavy casualties to the Chinese army.
Even if they do not have strong enough combat power, letting the Japanese take over the battle when the Chinese have air superiority can reduce the consumption of the mold's manpower.
In order to allow these Japanese to join the United States and have strong combat effectiveness, in addition to equipment provided by the United States, Van Fleet and LeMay can also make a promise to these Japanese that as long as they can make meritorious deeds on the battlefield and live until the end of the war, they can transfer to the United States with their families.
This is a godsend for the Japanese who have already suffered from the shadow of defeat!
However, after hearing this condition, the surrounding mold advisors immediately began to persuade them.
"General, other conditions are fine, but the opportunity to join the American nationality cannot be opened!"
"Yes, General, there is no way Congress will pass this condition!"
Looking at the excited staff officers, Van Fleet smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Don't worry, I mean to make meritorious service and live until the end of the war. It is up to us to decide whether to make meritorious service or not. And look at the Chinese's combat effectiveness. If the enemy has air superiority, how many of these Japanese can survive until the end of the war?"
Hearing this, the staff officers around him nodded secretly, so Van Fleet submitted the plan to Congress, and after arriving in Osaka, LeMay began preparations for recruiting soldiers against the Japanese.
Van Fleet reported the ideas, concepts and exemption plan of the entire plan to Congress in detail, and finally obtained the approval of Congress.
After all, in the whole plan, the Japanese troops do not even need to be paid. As long as they are provided with the most basic food and equipment, they can obtain a group of troops with high morale and rich combat experience.
Anyone would be unhappy!
As for their food and equipment?
You have to know that the United States is still the world's largest industrial country. It is easy for it to obtain some weapons, equipment and supplies.
While waiting for congressional approval, the United Nations forces would usually send small-scale troops to carry out harassment operations against the Chinese army in order to prevent the Chinese army from attacking them.
However, their combat is more important in the form of an offensive. Most of the troops that launched exploratory attacks suffered heavy losses after a battle, and the Chinese would also counterattack after the fungal attack.
Before the Battle of Han River began, the Special Service Battalion of the Logistics Support Regiment had conducted detailed reconnaissance of the south bank of the Han River. During the period when the enemy lost air superiority, an average of 3 to 4 intelligence reconnaissance teams searched the south bank of the Han River every day, looking for the enemy's key targets, and contacted the Air Force for precision bombing.
During this period of time, the special forces battalion conducted reconnaissance and bombing on the mold, and the mold had suffered a large number of heavy equipment losses.
And as the results accumulated, Van Vleet felt his heart broken when he counted the results afterwards!
"Contact Congress quickly and ask them to send the Japanese over here!" (End of this chapter)
