Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Hancheng Defense Line.

After fighting lasted for three days and three nights, both sides were exhausted.

Zhisi Command Headquarters.

"Old Chen, can the logistics keep up?" asked the head of the Zhisi.

"Artillery shells, especially rocket artillery shells, have reached an all-time low. The average number on the front line is no more than 2 base numbers." The brigade commander responded with a wry smile. "The railway line is bombarded by the rogue Eagle Navy's naval guns every day. It is impossible to recover. Relying on road transportation, our transportation capacity has dropped by 7%. The motor transport group in the rear has been working around the clock for 24 hours and cannot make up for the huge gap after the railway transportation was interrupted."

Now the only area where General Matthew has an absolute advantage is the maritime battlefield. Due to the lack of effective means of attack, the Volunteer Army is completely powerless against the mobile Rogue Eagle Navy's naval guns.

The newly formed navy now has only two Fletcher-class destroyers and four Jianghai-class destroyers. Frankly speaking, it cannot even defend the Bohai Sea in a head-on battle, so there is no way to demand that the navy launch an attack.

Land-based surface-to-surface missiles are obviously incapable of striking moving targets at present, and shore-to-ship missiles are still under mad development, so don't even think about them in the short term.

"Oh, forget it, let's just counterattack!" Chief Zhisi has been keeping an eye on Suwon and Hengcheng, and has made up his mind several times to launch a rear-end interception battle against them, intercepting and annihilating most of the Rogue Eagle's front-line troops.

But the current ammunition preparation is obviously too far-fetched.

After all, there are not only two Kangaroo Combat Brigade and John Bull Combat Brigade with decent combat effectiveness there, but to the south, the Rogue Eagle also has three reorganized infantry divisions eyeing them covetously. Once the two attacking armies fail to quickly capture the Kangaroo and John Bull defensive positions, a stalemate will be formed in the wilderness of Suwon and Hoengseong, and they will be attacked by the two Rogue Eagle infantry divisions to form a double encirclement. This encirclement battle may turn into a breakout battle!
It is better to be conservative now and counterattack General Matthew's front-line troops to defeat their attack.

"Yes, old commander, our country is stepping up the production of armored forces. Li Yunlong and his men are even testing new synthetic forces. Brother Ren has come up with a new trick. I don't know why this brother who has never been to a military academy has so much strange knowledge in his head. He is not only good at technology, but also good at training soldiers.

We will wait for Li Yunlong's 16th Army to complete the new organization demonstration, and then redeploy it to the peninsula to deal a fatal blow to the rogue eagles. After defeating them fairly, I think this war will be over. "The brigade commander has a long-term vision. After the first three victories with some tricks, and the fourth battle when everyone fought with real swords and guns, the volunteers still had the upper hand. If there is another hearty victory, the rogue eagles who recognize the reality will sit down and talk seriously.

"Indeed, we are not in a hurry. We should proceed step by step and put down the arrogance of the new general, Rogue Eagle. Order the 50th and 63rd Armies to launch a counterattack from the flanks and rear!"

Rogue Eagle rear command post.

Once again, the telegraph was saturated.

"What? The Volunteer Army still has 4 divisions to launch a counterattack?" General Matthew finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Order the air force to attack! Try to adopt guerrilla fighting tactics to delay the enemy's fighter cluster. No matter how difficult it is, we must create bombing conditions for our bomber wing and cover the front-line troops to withdraw!" General Matthew stared at the sand table with flickering eyes, but did not stop talking.

Although the last air battle proved that there was a huge technological gap in the Air Force, research in the rear was being carried out day and night, and the opponent's secret weapons had basically been figured out, and even a dud had been caught!
"Order the frontline troops to take turns to cover the full retreat to Suwon and Hoengseong for defense!"

The fourth battle came to an end with the complete defeat of the Rogue Eagles.

This was the most intense battle since the conflict on the peninsula, and it still ended with the victory of the Volunteer Army. Because the head of the Volunteer Army chose a conservative approach at the last moment, although it may have reduced the number of enemies annihilated, it could ensure the fruits of victory. In this battle, the Volunteer Army directly destroyed more than 200 Rogue Eagle fighters, most of which were Rogue Eagle's cutting-edge jet fighters. They rushed to the front and took the most severe blows.

The Volunteer Army Air Force also lost dozens of fighter planes, almost half of which were J-5A and half were P51D Mustang fighters. In this battle, more than a dozen ace pilots emerged from the Air Force. This was a J-5A fighter pilot who, after running out of missiles in the air decisive battle, used machine guns to shoot down the Rogue Eagle's rear fighter.

Or maybe he played the entire game and returned to the field when the Rogue Eagle was retreating.

As for the Rogue Eagle's armored forces, the casualties this time were even more severe, with more than 9% of the armor being destroyed during the charge!
On the front line, there are wreckages of various Rogue Eagle tanks everywhere!
In comparison, the Volunteer Army's tank unit lost more than 200 tanks. Of course, the number of tanks on the front line was far behind that of the Rogue Eagle. The three armies had only more than 500 tanks in total. In this battle, the tank unit held on in the first wave of counterattacks, and in the rest of the battle, most of the tanks were destroyed by infantry anti-tank weapons.

In the artillery duel, the Volunteer Army also won a great victory. At the cost of losing more than 100 artillery pieces, the Rogue Eagles lost at least 700 to 800 artillery pieces.

Of course, in terms of artillery shell consumption, both sides fired almost the same amount of shells this time!
In order to annihilate the scattered artillery of the Rogue Eagle, the 122mm rocket artillery unit, which was the main force of the counter-artillery, had completely emptied its resources! In this way, the numerical advantage was used to achieve the results of the counterattack.

It is precisely because the Volunteer Army’s artillery was tied down by the Rogue Eagle’s artillery that the support for the front-line positions was greatly reduced.

On the entire front, the casualties of the troops reached more than 6. Of course, as the attacking party, the Rogue Eagle and its coalition forces suffered even greater casualties, nearly 50. In addition, in the final counterattack, the 63th and rd Armies, which were the fresh reinforcements, captured nearly coalition troops from various countries.

The total casualties in the battle exceeded 7. It can be said that General Matthew's gamble failed in every aspect.

After this battle, the Rogue Eagles are no longer stable internally. If this continues, they will be doomed.

So, under the coordination of the middleman, the first negotiation finally began.

However, this negotiation was just a test for Rogue Eagle. When the two sides came to know each other and discussed the prices, they found that they did not match at all!
The war has come to this point, and no one is happy to remain in the pre-war state.

The north must follow the current actual control line, and does not want to give up the wealthy areas around Hancheng that they have occupied.

The Rogue Eagles demanded not only to retreat to the 38th parallel, but also to punish the people in the north of the peninsula who started the war and to pay compensation to the south.

This request was not only excessive, but also a bit unclear about the situation, so while everyone was discussing it at the table, they were also making their own efforts to prepare for another battle.

Especially after obtaining a dud bomb of the PL air-to-air missile on the battlefield, the first generation of air-to-air missiles of the Rogue Eagle finally took shape quickly under pressure.

They did not make a breakthrough in propellant, but they basically figured out the general method of infrared guidance on the seeker through dissection. However, it is difficult to make a quick breakthrough in materials, so they used another infrared guidance material instead. At the cost, the detection accuracy is much worse.

But compared with previous machine guns, the hit rate has increased by more than an order of magnitude!
As a result, the negotiation between the two parties was like a casual chat, and no one took it seriously. (End of this chapter)
