"Seven companies should reach 157 people, actually one person." This sentence made countless so-called strongest old men instantly break the defense, and such a simple line made countless people taste the tears after years of separation, and the tears dripped down like the water in Changjin Lake! In the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the loyalty and courage of the volunteers brought an external environment of peaceful rise to our descendants in exchange for blood and sacrifice.
However, after watching the movie, many friends will have such questions. As Watergate Bridge is the life and death bridge of the US military, as long as it is blown up, the hope of wiping out the first division of the US Marine Corps will be preserved. This bridge that determines whether the goals of war and epidemic can be achieved can be called the winner of the whole campaign. Why did Song only send two bombing bridges?
However, the strong maneuverability and super firepower of the US military enabled our army to surround the US military, but failed to achieve the campaign goal of annihilating the enemy. The US military can even safely transport the wounded through the temporary airport built in the lower corner, which is the headquarters of the First Division of the Marine Corps. Although in the movie, it was like our army captured the next corner, in fact, because the 26th Army moved slowly and the reinforcements didn't arrive, our army didn't lay the next corner and watched the American troops retreat.
At this moment, facing the southward attack, the First Marine Division has achieved the strategic goal of wiping out the enemy in order to get rid of the US military. Song made the choice of blowing up the Watergate Bridge to block the only way for American troops to flee south to the new Nangang. It should be said that there is no problem.
Although the location of Watergate Bridge is very important, it is only a small place after all and is not suitable for large-scale corps operations. We should definitely send two elite companies that have passed the test of war to carry out the key task of bombing the bridge. Our army blew up the Watergate Bridge again and again. This ironclad fact proves that the number of American troops stationed near the Watergate Bridge is extremely limited. Especially in the 1 bridge bombing and the second bridge bombing, the US military has not started to retreat from the lower corner, and has not yet clearly understood the importance of the Watergate Bridge. There will never be too many troops there, so sending two elite companies to blow up the bridge is completely competent.
As for why there were only two companies in the third bridge bombing, the reason is very simple. We can't spare too many troops. The battle of Changjin Lake was badly fought, with heavy casualties, because our army was not only fighting the US military, but also fighting the extreme climate more brutal than the US military. Our army did not have good cold-proof equipment, and used thin cotton-padded clothes to fight the extreme temperature of MINUS 53 degrees in the Gaima Plateau on the southeast coast, resulting in great non-combat attrition. In addition, the US military occupies an absolute position. This did great harm to our army in the battle. After many fierce battles, the ministries of the Ninth Corps suffered heavy losses and the troops were seriously damaged. By February 2, 65438, the 79th Division of the 27th Army was reduced to 5 infantry companies and 2 machine gun companies, and the 80th Division was reduced to 9 infantry companies. There are about 2,000 people who can fight in the whole 27 th Army, and the situation in the 20 th Army is similar. As a reserve team, the 26th Army is too far away from the front line to play, which leads to the fact that Song can play few cards, so it is already the limit to draw two even if he wants to come.
Facts have proved that even two volunteers who have suffered a bloody battle and are dissatisfied with the company can still complete the task of bombing the bridge. The only fly in the ointment is that poverty limits our imagination. Blowing up the bridge foundation in the consciousness of the volunteers, no matter how powerful the American engineers are, they will never be able to cook without rice. It is true that American engineers are helpless about the Watergate Bridge, but this does not mean that the US military has no emergency measures. The United States directly airlifted eight sets of simple bridge components from Tokyo, Japan, and completed the reorganization of Watergate Bridge in an instant! This is actually beyond the scope of war. But a country's crushing of another country's national strength!
The Watergate Bridge was not blown up in the end and became a wall of sighs for volunteers. Seeing the American troops crossing the Watergate Bridge, the destination of this American Naihe Bridge is not the grave, but Nanxing Port. This bridge leads not to death, but to hope! Although the ninth legion's wish to annihilate the first marine division failed. But it also destroyed the soul of the first marine division. After a period of dormancy, the army soon went into battle again. This once-arrogant ace army was hanged by the volunteers in every battle, completely losing the pride at the beginning of the war and becoming the background board on the battlefield. This is also a late retribution.
