Willoughby: "Its official name is anti-aircraft missile, General Partridge. We had intelligence that the Soviet Union was developing anti-aircraft missiles, but until last month, the intelligence summary I read still showed that the Soviet anti-aircraft missiles The missile is far from being serviceable. But it appeared in North Korea today, so I think the biggest responsibility is not the Far East Intelligence Command, but the serious failure of the work of the European Intelligence Command."

Um, as long as there is a slight chance to shake the blame, Willoughby will still throw the blame out.

Ridgway: "This kind of remote-controlled anti-aircraft rocket or anti-aircraft missile, how do the surviving pilots describe it? Colonel Willoughby, I think you need to record this information and report it to the higher authorities. This may be the current situation of the United States and even the entire NATO. the most important thing."

……

F-84 pilot Gordon Preston rested for another two hours after landing in Busan, but his hands were still shaking and he could barely hold a lit cigarette.

5月1日11时20分,他的战机挂着6枚火箭弹和一枚500磅炸弹,随着轰炸编队一起冲向东豆川。他是战术飞机集群中飞得最靠前的三架飞机之一,他前面就是负责砸门的4架B-29。

So Preston clearly saw the whole process of the B-29 being shot down.In the green field on the outskirts of Dongducheon, four pillars of smoke suddenly rose from the ground, drilling towards the B-29 in the air, and then four more, eight missiles in groups of two, staring at a B-4.Most of the B-8s flying in formation did not react, only the one on the left wing responded slightly, tilting the fuselage and trying to turn left to escape the attack.However, the missile flying towards it also turned, and Preston could see with the naked eye that the smoke column chasing the B-29 also turned a corner.After only 29 seconds, or 29 seconds, four B-10s were shot one after another.

It wasn't over yet, one of the B-29s didn't appear to be seriously injured, and instead of immediately starting to fall, it struggled to stay afloat.At this time, another column of smoke flew out from the ground, knocking down the injured B-29 without any suspense.

Preston subconsciously pressed the launch button, threw away the 500-pound bomb he was hanging on, and lowered the altitude slightly, crackling and launching the six rockets hanging on the left and right wings.Of course it didn't hit anything, but the plane weighed a lot less and turned more nimbly.

No new orders were received, and the fleet still flew into Dongducheon as planned. Preston saw explosions all over the sky and missiles flying across the sky, trailing fireworks or smoke trails.And he lowered the altitude immediately, flying at an altitude of less than 300 meters from the ground, but even so, the anti-aircraft missile still did not let him go.A missile flew towards him from the left rear. Preston turned around and saw it. In an instant, he unleashed all the potential of his body and brain. After the operation, the anti-aircraft missile flew over the F-300's buttocks. When the missile exploded 84 meters away, Preston heard the "snap" sound of the aircraft's skin being hit by shrapnel, and the right wing It was also pierced by shrapnel. Fortunately, the fuel in the wing fuel tank had been consumed before, and the plane did not catch fire.

"How many devices do you estimate on the ground in Dongducheon that can launch remote-controlled rockets, Captain Preston?" asked the intelligence staff officer of the flight wing.

"At least 10, I think 15 or so."

"When you were flying at an altitude of 300 meters, did you notice what this device that launches remote-controlled rockets from the ground looks like?"

Preston: "I saw a vehicle that I hadn't seen before in identification manuals and operations, but wasn't sure if it was the device that fired the rocket at me."

……

Partridge took out a sketch of an anti-aircraft missile launch vehicle drawn by the intelligence staff and Preston.

The stick figure on the left is the original drawing of the two people, and the right is the speculative version with details added (brain-filled) after analysis by the staff.

"The chassis should be a 6X6 truck," Willoughby said.

Partridge: "Yes."

Willoughby: "The cylinder on the circular platform of the vehicle body is obviously a turning device. Around the cylinder...the pilot saw two sharp arrow-shaped objects, which should be anti-aircraft missiles."

Partridge: "You think that the Soviet Union has not yet completed the development of anti-aircraft missiles, but the Soviet Union has actually completed and mass-produced them and put them on the battlefield. Mr. Intelligence Officer, please tell us the performance indicators of the Soviet anti-aircraft missiles obtained by the European Intelligence Command. "

Willoughby did not answer Partridge immediately.He curled his lips, rolled his eyes a few times, and finally said embarrassingly:

"Sorry. I think - European Intelligence Command has inaccurate information."

Willoughby had read the briefing.

The United States has some information about the Soviet Union's "Golden Eagle" project.The United States knew that the Soviet Union had acquired some engineers of the "Waterfall" air defense missiles, knew about the launch of the "Golden Eagle" project, and knew the target performance when the "Golden Eagle" project was launched.

The Soviet anti-aircraft missile should have a length of 10-12 meters, a fixed launch position, and a maximum range of not less than 30 kilometers.

The length of the bomb is 10~12 meters!Look at this picture drawn by the surviving pilot, is the missile so long?absolutely not!

The chances of the pilot getting it wrong should not be high.Although the plane is 300 meters above the ground, there will be errors in distance and length when viewed with the naked eye, but this missile has a known size and other objects as a reference—the truck.A missile that can be launched from a rotary launcher mounted on a truck is two or three meters long, up to 3.5 meters. This is absolutely impossible to be a product of the "Golden Eagle" project.

Need to contact the Pentagon immediately, Willoughby thought.

……

Li Qiwei and a group of military officers had a meeting in Tokyo, and their eyes were red. The various armies, corps, and divisions of the Volunteer Army also fiercely reviewed today's operations on the communication line.

The ones that have been talked about the most are the 3rd Corps and the 19th Corps that entered the Korean War for the second time.

General Chen, the commander of the 3rd Corps, had commanded the "War Five Scum" Vietnamese army in Vietnam before, but he was still very dissatisfied with the performance of the various armies of the 3rd Corps today.

"The first-line troops are not familiar with the use of new communication equipment. Many companies do not respond to calls on the walkie-talkie for a long time. Coordinated action."

"Some cadres don't know the direction according to the map, and some army commanders lost contact with the North Korean team during the march, and they couldn't find guides and translators..."

"Following dogmatically the order of fighting at night and hiding during the day, I shot down 20 of the 16 enemy planes that attacked during the day. The enemy's planes actually posed little threat to me. Regardless of the enemy's situation, some troops still ended the battle in the morning and camped in hiding. And delay the battle."

There are 2 anti-aircraft artillery divisions entering North Korea to participate in the fifth battle, and each division organizes an air defense missile regiment.

突破临津江穿插东豆川的9兵团配备一个高炮师,在正面反击美步24、25、3师的3兵团配备一个导弹团和一个高射炮团,另一个高射炮团分给东线反击的19兵团。5月1号当天,9兵团和3兵团的头顶都很安全,美军飞机来了就回不去。

However, when the troops entering North Korea to participate in the war received training and training in the Northeast, the instructors were part of the cadres and soldiers who had just finished the second battle and were transferred from the 13th Corps, as well as the wounded volunteers who were sent back to the rear and their wounds were recovering. ...

They taught these troops preparing to enter North Korea how to deal with American aircraft. The first rule is: stay still during the day!It's dark and the American plane flies away before moving!

So on May 5st, the battle of the 1rd Corps really made General Chen angry.Not only General Chen was angry, but Suyu in Beijing was also angry.

粟峪制定的全局计划,除了9兵团突破临津江来一个长达50公里的摩托化穿插,正面3兵团15军也要从美步3师和美步40师之间来一个20公里距离的穿插。

Two knives were inserted, one left and one right, and the three divisions of the US military on the western front were separated and isolated.

That's right, Su Yu and Ye Ting intend to eat up the 24th, 25th, and 3rd divisions of Meibu.

This time, the Volunteer Army invested 9 armies at a time, plus 3 legions (armies) of the People's Army, so that the 3rd and 9th Corps' 6 armies would pack 3 US divisions, and the 19th Corps would counterattack and contain the US divisions on the Eastern Front. If the plan works, That would kill 3 U.S. troops in three divisions at once.

During the daytime battle, the 9th Corps successfully completed the task. It first defeated the [-]st Division of South Korea in seconds, and then quickly interspersed and occupied Dongducheon and Paocheon, repelling the attacks of the Turkish Brigade and the [-]st U.S. Cavalry Division.

But the 15th Army didn't intersperse, and they were still ping-ping-pong-pong on the front line to grab the top of the mountain with the 3rd Meibu Division.

After capturing Dongducheon and Bocheon, the way for the US troops on the western front to retreat south to Seoul was blocked, but the way for the US troops on the western front to go southeast and retreat all the way from Hamansan-dong to Gapyeong to the south was not blocked.

"You 15th Army lie down for a day without a plane on your head during the day, so don't sleep at night, you must take down Xiawanshan Cave and seal the 3rd Meibu Division!"

Chapter 141, Night Attack and Anti-Night Attack

"We have formulated a total of three breakout plans for our army on the Kansas line."

The Chief of Staff of the Eighth Army, Leif Allen, took all the staff members to complete three combat plans within 8 hours, and reported to Van Fleet after deduction.

"The first plan was formulated according to the instructions of Commander Li Qiwei. The 24th Division broke away from the Chinese army, moved closer to the 25th Division, and jointly built fortifications in the Unsan-ri area. Peaceful. The three divisions have formed a defensive position that can support each other, waiting for the 3th Division and the 25st Cavalry Division to attack and kill the Chinese army on the periphery and lift the siege."

"For the second plan, the 3rd Division, 24th, and 25th Divisions break away from contact with the Chinese army at the same time, meet at Yongping, attack Paocheon in the south, and then march towards Uigovernment, and the First Cavalry Division responds from the south."

"The third plan is that the 24th Division will go south directly after disengagement, and attack the Chinese army from Dongducheon; the 25th Division and the 3rd Division will also go south directly after disengagement, and attack the Chinese army from Paocheon; The 29th Brigade and the Turkish Brigade headed north after sufficient firepower preparations, launching strikes against the Chinese army in three directions at the same time."

The three plans all take into account that the ground support of the air force for the next combat may not be in place, and also take into account that the firepower of the Chinese army has increased significantly compared with the previous campaign.

The plan proposed by Li Qiwei built a defensive circle with three divisions gathered together, which is absolutely impossible to be breached. This is also Li Qiwei's signature tactic after arriving in North Korea.But the disadvantage is that the number of U.S. troops on the periphery is insufficient, and two U.S. divisions can barely be mobilized, and there are no more. After all, fierce battles are erupting on the entire Korean Peninsula. The 2th Division was transferred away at the same time.

In the second plan, after the three divisions gather together, instead of defending on the spot, they will attack southward (attack retreat). The defense may be unstable during the movement, but the mechanized infantry group of 8 to [-] people will be used by the Chinese army in mobile warfare. It is unlikely that this large group of US troops will be defeated.

The third plan is the most active and radical combat plan. It is not defensive at all, but immediately tears the divisions of the Volunteer Army that broke in from three directions.But the risk is also the greatest.Once the volunteers guard one of the roads and enclose the other, one of the three claws of the U.S. military may be broken.This one paw is at least one complete US division.

"The second plan. However, don't go to Sichuan."
