60 kilometers south of Pyongyang,

Sariwon Airport Runway

After completing the first round of missions, the Volunteer Army's P-51 fleet returned one after another, and the roar of the engines broke the silence of the night.

As soon as the fighter plane came to a stop, the ground crew rushed to the plane like well-trained soldiers. They held tools in their hands and moved hurriedly but methodically. Napalm bombs were carefully transported out of the ammunition depot, each of which carried a powerful killing force and exuded a chilling atmosphere.

A ground crew member stood on a ladder, briefly communicating with the pilot inside the fuselage and quickly recording the aircraft's condition.

At the same time, other personnel worked closely together, working in pairs to lift the napalm bomb and walk steadily towards the mounting point under the wing. Their faces were full of determination, and sweat slid down their cheeks, leaving traces under the dust.

There was a crisp sound of the hook connecting to the ammunition. Every time a piece of ammunition was loaded, the ground crew would pull it hard to ensure that it was mounted securely.

Next to him, the mechanic was checking the aircraft's engine, landing gear and other key parts, adjusting the instruments with skilled techniques and using flashlights to illuminate details from time to time, not missing any hidden dangers that might affect flight safety.

In order to save time, they did not even restock fuel and machine gun bullets, but only carried napalm bombs and rockets.

As the ground crew waved their arms, one P51 after another took off into the sky!

During this month of truce, no one was idle. The Americans were busy mobilizing troops, while the Volunteer Army opened up two railway arteries and built four military airports along the railway line of Sariwon, Pyongyang, Sukchon, and Qiuchang! Anyway, there were plenty of supplies, and all kinds of supplies coming from the country every day were calculated in units of 10,000 tons!

After the air force moved in, they all hid themselves in preparation for this fatal blow tonight! Because once the airport was exposed, it would often be bombed!

The South Korean army's attack was almost non-stop. They ignored the huge casualties and quickly broke through the defense line of Guo Qiang and his airborne regiment, desperately running towards Seoul!

The ground was already filled with Korean corpses, more than 5,000 in total!

However, these corpses caused great suffering to the American and Australian troops behind them. After the Uijeongbu was bombed crazily, the American and Australian troops who had originally planned to leave during the day also began to evacuate from Uijeongbu in batches overnight.

They had not walked for an hour when they were blocked by a pile of Korean corpses.

At the beginning, some soldiers were cursing as they moved the bodies away from the roadside, but later on, they found that the piled-up bodies were impossible to move and formed a natural roadblock!

There was a whistling sound in the air.

64 US Sabre fighter jets took off from Busan Airport and circled in the air to escort the retreating convoy!

They received a telegram saying that Uijeongbu was under heavy air raid, but Busan Airport was more than 300 kilometers away, so they arrived a little late!

After the returning Volunteer Army P51 fleet discovered the location of the US aircraft through radar, they gave up the plan for a second wave of air strikes and instead circled nearby!

However, American aircraft also discovered the P51 fleet through radar at the same time, and they immediately rushed over aggressively!

P51 flew north immediately!

The more than 30 US military planes behind were chasing closely, and with the advantage of speed, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer!

At this critical moment, 1 J- fighters took off from Sukchon Airport and arrived!

The fighter planes of both sides quickly closed the distance and opened fire almost at the same time. The fire of machine guns instantly cut through the night sky, and the hot trajectory intertwined together, like a gorgeous but deadly fireworks display.

The battle immediately entered a white-hot stage. Fighter planes of both sides kept circling and chasing in the night sky. Planes were hit and caught fire and crashed. The Volunteer Army quickly gained the upper hand with its overwhelming numerical advantage!

The final casualty ratio was 18 to 29!

The remaining four US military planes immediately began to flee!

In the valley, most of Guo Qiang's airborne regiment had been killed or wounded.

Now there are less than 200 people left, occupying three hilltops! All the machine gun bullets are used up! Each person has less than one magazine of submachine gun bullets left!

Looking around, the road and both sides were filled with fleeing soldiers, American, South Korean, and Australian troops mixed together!

At this time, the sound of diving and whistling was heard again in the air. The P51 followed the J-1 and launched another air strike towards the ground!

One napalm bomb after another fell on the narrow road, directly exploding into a 1-kilometer-long fire dragon!

The moment the bomb touched the ground, a huge fireball burst out, several meters in diameter, and the air wave was like a surging tide, knocking the soldiers over. Thick gasoline splashed all around, and wherever it touched, it immediately ignited high-temperature flames, the temperature soared to thousands of degrees, and the air was ignited.

The soldiers engulfed by the flames screamed miserably, the sound was full of despair and pain, echoing in the valley. They struggled instinctively, but it only made the flames spread faster. Some soldiers tried to put out the fire with their hands, but their hands instantly turned into charred stumps; some jumped into the snow pit desperately, but the thick gasoline continued to burn.

The soldiers who were not directly hit were not spared either. The high temperature and thick smoke quickly filled the air, causing them to cough violently, their lungs to burn, their vision blurred, and they kept falling down in their panic. The surrounding trees were set on fire, making crackling sounds, and burning branches fell one after another, hitting the soldiers who were hiding everywhere.

Even Guo Qiang and other paratroopers suddenly felt difficulty breathing and hurriedly evacuated the scene. This place had become a death hell. They were short of ammunition and there was no point in staying any longer!

United States,

Washington,

White House!

Secretary of State Acheson looked at President Truman solemnly and said slowly: "Mr. President, I have to report to you a frustrating news. The Senate did not approve our proposal to use nuclear weapons in North Korea this time!"

Truman's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. He widened his eyes and asked in disbelief: "What on earth are these guys thinking?" His voice revealed obvious dissatisfaction and anger.

The third battle suddenly launched by the Volunteer Army caused the US Army to suffer a crushing defeat. It seemed that only nuclear weapons were the only means to save the defeat.

Acheson sighed helplessly and explained, "The vote was very fierce, with 53 votes against and 47 votes in favor. We lost this crucial vote by a narrow margin. And, as far as I know, many of our European allies do not agree with the United States doing this! They hope that the United States can focus on Europe!" His tone was full of disappointment and frustration.

However, Acheson immediately changed the subject, cheered himself up a little and said: "However, Mr. President, the Senate did pass an emergency appropriation of $1300 billion for military expenditures, which is a small consolation."

Truman said grimly,

"Tell Ridgway that MacArthur will be transferred back to the United States soon. I will continue to mobilize 30 divisions and 3,000 aircraft for him, but he must win this war for me!"
