Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 160 Here comes someone to take the credit!

These senior generals of the enemy army really couldn't understand why this idiot, Ridgway, had to carry two grenades on his body.

However, these enemy generals still recognized the abilities of Lieutenant General Ridgway.

At least so far, Ridgway's judgment is correct.

And Ridgway did lead them to block the attack of the Volunteer Army, and now they have launched a pursuit.

As Lieutenant General Ridgway said, the volunteer army is now out of ammunition and food and exhausted.

As long as they can seize this opportunity, they will definitely be able to turn the tide of the battle.

Lieutenant General Ridgway said excitedly: "The enemy has begun to retreat. What we need to do now is to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and pursue them with all our strength."

"We should take advantage of this opportunity to destroy their main forces as much as possible, flatten the battle line, and then continue to attack northward until we completely drive these hateful enemies out of the Korean Peninsula."

"So all troops should not have the slightest concerns. They must pursue with all their might and do their best to destroy the enemy's manpower until they are completely defeated."

"I've codenamed this operation 'Operation Butcher'."

"Butcher fighting?"

The senior enemy generals present could not help but whisper to each other.

"This is a good name. I like it very much."

"Our commander is getting better and better at naming. Each code name is more domineering than the last."

"This is a war, so the code name must be more domineering."

Lieutenant General Ridgway observed the reactions of the people present and then said, "Yes, from this moment on, we will all become butchers, and the enemy will be a group of lambs to be slaughtered. What we have to do is to catch up with them and slaughter them all."

Lieutenant General Ridgway then explained some specific combat plans. The senior generals present also received orders to continue the attack and understood what they should do next.

Finally, Lieutenant General Ridgway said excitedly: "Old guys, now you can return to your posts and command our boys to slaughter those hateful enemies."

After the meeting, Lieutenant General Ridgway originally wanted to have a good rest.

At this time, the adjutant reported: "Commander, Commander Mike is here."

Lieutenant General Ridgway frowned slightly and said helplessly: "Here comes someone to steal the credit! All right! Let's go and greet the commander."

Lieutenant General Ridgway reluctantly stood up and left his headquarters.

Now that his troops had just begun to counterattack, Five-Star Mike couldn't wait to fly over from Tokyo, and it was obvious that he was here to grab the credit.

Before, when they were defeated by the Volunteer Army and were chased around like ducks, they did not see this commander coming.

Although he had some complaints, Lieutenant General Ridgway had to go and greet the five-star Mike in person. After all, he was still Lieutenant General Ridgway's immediate superior.

Lieutenant General Ridgway went to greet Five-Star Mike in person, and the old man was interviewed by war correspondents as soon as he got off the plane.

When facing the interview from the reporter, the old guy talked freely.

Five Star Mike said confidently: "Yes, I just ordered the resumption of the attack."

"The previous retreat was just a tactical deception to lure the enemy into a trap, and it turned out that they were really fooled."

"And now they have fallen into our trap, they have been dragged down by us, and now they are losing the battle."

"I assessed the situation and thought that now is the best time to defeat them, so I decisively gave the order to pursue them. I believe we will soon achieve a glorious victory." Looking at the five-star Mike who was talking, Lieutenant General Ridgway was also stunned with surprise.

I have never seen such a shameless person.

With just a few casual words, he took all the credit on himself.

They even shamelessly said that the previous defeats were tactical retreats, which they did on purpose just for today's counterattack.

The shamelessness of Five-Star Mike once again refreshed Lieutenant General Ridgway's cognition.

Lieutenant General Ridgway had no doubt that if the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in the battle could hear what this guy said, they would definitely crawl out of their graves without hesitation and tear this shameless old narcissist into pieces.

Ridgway even cursed in his heart: Why didn’t the plane fall down and kill this bastard?

Now Lieutenant General Ridgway no longer has any good feelings towards this guy.

But this shameless old man was his immediate superior, so Lieutenant General Ridgway could only resist the urge to give him a fight and continued to listen to this guy pretending to be cool with a wry smile on his face.

Fortunately, this guy didn't stay on the front line for too long and flew back to Tokyo.

During this period of time, Five Star Mike only briefly understood the general situation on the front line and gave a few insignificant suggestions. Most of the time, he was bragging to reporters.

After sending Five-Star Mike onto the plane, Lieutenant General Ridgway couldn't help but pray again.

God bless, please let the plane fall and smash this shameless old man into pieces!

Although the enemy launched a full-scale counterattack, the progress was not as smooth as Ridgway expected.

After learning that the enemy was pursuing with all their might, Zhisi also made adjustments and ordered the troops to retreat in an orderly manner to prevent a rout.

While retreating, the troops took advantage of the favorable terrain to continuously block the enemy's attacks and delay the enemy's attack speed.

Trade space for time, and through a long-term war of attrition, completely wear down the enemy's morale.

Although the situation of our front-line troops was not very good at that time, some troops had already run out of ammunition and food.

However, our brave volunteer soldiers still stubbornly blocked the enemy's counterattack, so that the enemy's attack speed was not too fast.

We can only advance a few kilometers a day, and sometimes only one kilometer a day.

Moreover, the enemy's attacking forces also suffered heavy losses under the tenacious resistance of the Volunteer Army.

This result made Ridgway quite dissatisfied.

This was completely different from what he expected, so the old guy began to try to change his tactics.

He also learned the tactics of the Volunteer Army, attempting to make a roundabout move and defeat the main force of the Volunteer Army.

However, he had just conducted an experiment, and the infiltration troops he sent out were directly beaten up by the 38th Army, suffered heavy losses, and were almost wiped out.

Lieutenant General Ridgway, who suffered a defeat, had no choice but to give up his plan of continuing his roundabout maneuver and ordered his troops to make full use of their powerful firepower advantage and continue to advance forward in an orderly manner.

Although the war will be protracted, the US military has strong logistical support and they have no worries at all.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Ridgway firmly believed that the situation of the Volunteer Army was more dangerous than theirs. If they continued to waste time like this, the Volunteer Army would be the first to collapse.
