#351 - Destroyed a division of rogue eagles

The front lines.

Fierce fighting had persisted for five days and five nights.

The 38th, 40th, and 42nd Army's support troops were all in position. When the casualties of Ding Wei and Kong Jie's two blocking forces reached 50%, these fresh troops directly took over, replacing the soldiers of the 17th and 18th Armies who had been fighting bloodily for days, completely stabilizing the battle situation and locking the 24th Division in the narrow northeastern area of Bochuan.

Li Yunlong's unit, which was in charge of the main attack, also used 107 rocket launchers and 122 rocket launchers to flatten the last line of defense of the 24th Division, based on several replenishments of a large amount of ammunition!

In order to eliminate the 24th Division, the mountain artillery company and howitzer company of Li Yunlong's 16th Army were almost completely depleted in the artillery duels with the enemy.

The ranges of both sides' artillery were similar. In the continuous shelling process, either we found your artillery position, or you found our artillery position. An artillery position, scattered and composed of an artillery company, had to be exposed in the war and then destroyed by the opponent's hidden artillery fire.

Thus, in a cycle of cruel and extreme exchange, both sides fought a brutal showdown reminiscent of the European battlefield in World War II.

Relatively speaking, Li Yunlong's side had one more advantage, that is, the vehicle-mounted, highly mobile 122 rocket launchers and 107 rocket launchers, which mostly survived the artillery duels and instead became the protagonists in attacking the 24th Division!

Firing a round more than once a minute and then changing locations, only rocket launchers could have such strong mobility. In this battle, this mobility became Li Yunlong's last straw.

The tank units were also gradually depleted in repeated attacks.

Not only did the army suffer heavy losses, but the air force's warplanes also suffered heavy casualties. Relative to the weaker air force, the damage ratio had reached a very dangerous level.

Faced with the precarious situation of the 24th Division, the Rogue Eagle had almost exhausted all means to save them, using all the army that could be reached on the peninsula, and the air force and navy stationed near the peninsula and the mainland. More than 200 fighter jets were lost in the air battles north of Bochuan alone!

Although they could afford to lose fighter jets, they could not afford to lose pilots.

These 200-plus pilots were either killed directly, or captured by Li Yunlong's troops after parachuting, resulting in heavy losses.

At the same time, the Volunteer Air Force also lost more than 200 Mustang fighters, consuming almost most of the more than 300 aircraft transferred to the northeast border! Many fighter squadrons had been crippled.

Preventing the Rogue Eagle's air force from providing more fire support to the ground, and not only that, the air force also ensured the safety of several major transportation arteries of the General Headquarters, allowing weapons and ammunition to be quickly sent to the front lines, supporting the huge ammunition consumption of Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie!

In this timeline, because someone had foresight and planned everything in advance, there was a dreamlike start.

However, this made the Rogue Eagle very uncomfortable.

They never dreamed that with their powerful naval and air forces, plus three main divisions and an airborne regiment, making an all-out effort to save the 24th Division would not achieve any results. Instead, they ran into walls under the full resistance of Kong Jie and Ding Wei!

Ding Wei and Kong Jie suffered more than half of their casualties. The Rogue Eagle's three main divisions suffered even greater casualties in their attack. After fighting for so long, the loss of troops had exceeded two-thirds! As for the consumption of heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery, it was even more astonishing, with at least 80% of the firepower thrown in!

Such a huge casualty cost could not even break through Kong Jie and Ding Wei's positions. After bombarding them for five days and five nights, they had not even broken through the first line of defense!

Such a cruel reality made the Rogue Eagle very clear that the 24th Division could not be rescued.

In order to leave some seeds for the 24th Division, at the last moment, when the 24th Division had less than one and a half regiments of remaining troops, Rogue Eagle Lieutenant General Walker ordered them to surrender!

Thus, a great battle that attracted the eyes of Blue Star ended with the annihilation of the 24th Division and the mutual defeat of the Rogue Eagle's three main divisions and the Dragon Country's three main armies.

The first phase of the Dragon Country Volunteer Army's battle temporarily came to an end, pushing back to the Anzhou-Decheon-Changjin Lake area, stabilizing the situation in the north.

According to the arrangement of the General Headquarters, the 38th, 40th, and 42nd Armies took over the positions of Li Yunlong's three armies and switched to defense. Li Yunlong and the others would return to the country for rest and replenishment.

At the same time, a new batch of reserve troops from the 26th, 50th, and 60th Armies had already entered the peninsula as second-line defense forces.

Ensuring that at least six armies maintain a huge force on the peninsula.

In order to shorten the logistics support line, the General Headquarters in this timeline did not follow the ideas of its northern neighbors, thinking about a quick victory, but strictly set up defense lines and attack targets according to logistics supply capabilities.

Faced with the General Headquarters' steady advance tactics, General MacArthur, who had been hit hard and was eager to get back at them, had no chance at all.

This Rogue Eagle famous general, known for "I shall return."

This time, however, he discovered that he seemed unable to get back at them.

Of the five main divisions thrown into the peninsula, one (the 24th Infantry Division) was completely finished, and three (the 7th Infantry Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, and the 1st Marine Division) were ruined, leaving only the 25th Infantry Division still in the south.

Although the situation had not reached the point of collapse, it was clear that they would not be able to take revenge in the short term.

General MacArthur had to restrain his arrogant attitude and began to bury his head in shaking people!

I Shall Return

First, the badly damaged three divisions had to be filled with National Guard officers and soldiers drawn from the mainland, while the 2nd Infantry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division were also transported across the ocean to the peninsula.

Forming a lineup of six organized divisions and one airborne regiment on the peninsula. It should be known that at this time, the Rogue Eagle had a total of only 10 organized divisions. Except for one guarding the European continent, there were only three organized divisions at home, so it had to carry out a round of mobilization, drawing National Guard units and recruiting veterans at home to make up for the shortages.

At the same time, the Rogue Eagle demanded that the Allied forces send more troops to participate in the war.

John Bull's two brigades had already been wiped out, leaving only the 29th Brigade. At the request of the Rogue Eagle, they would send another Indian Brigade to make up for the losses.

In addition, Maple Leaf and Turkey, which originally only sent one infantry brigade, were now required to increase to two.

As for Gaul, Tulip, and Kangaroo, they originally had only one infantry battalion, but now they were also required to increase to one infantry brigade!

Adding a brigade pieced together by the remaining small fry, the Allied forces had an unprecedented 10 brigades!

The overall land force exceeded 200,000 people!
