Chapter 982: Public pressure

That night, just after the U.S. Army dispatched the Third Division to the front line of Wu Lao Li to enter a defensive state, its radio listeners received a clear-cut radio signal. After receiving the information, they were sent to Master Smith and Captain Almond. Both major generals were angry and smoked after reading.
"The 'Drysdale Detachment' sent by the First Division of the United States Marine Corps has completely failed. Most of the detachment's crew has been destroyed, and more than half of its armored units have been destroyed on the road leading to Xiachangli. Colonel Dreisdale was seriously injured, and Major McLaughlin was captured. "
"The U.S. military needs to be responsible for the destruction of the 'Drysdale Squad." Putting a force of about 1,000 people into the encirclement of an enemy division is an extreme irresponsibility for the lives of soldiers. This is murder. "
"And after the 'Drysdale Squad' was finished, the consequence was that the U.S. Army ’s ancient position was empty, and the commander, Colonel Pooler, was foolish to launch another attack on the enemy ’s strong position, fighting until the evening by the enemy The powerful armored forces counterattacked and lost the ancient soil. "
"At present, the Xingnan Port, where the Division of the First Marine Division is located, is completely under the enemy's front, and is about to suffer major losses. Major General Smith and Major Almond, who are staying at the Xingnan Port, are in extreme danger. The enemy prisoners in this war. "
The two major US generals saw continuous reports and were really angry. Because these reports are true and false, the deployment of US forces, personnel, and various internal information are extremely detailed, and ordinary people cannot distinguish between them.
Even more annoying is that the information was sent to the Tokyo branch from an enemy prisoner of war by an Associated Press reporter, Frank Noel. This kind of information released by high-power radio stations cannot be blocked at all. Even if the Associated Press does not release it, other international news agencies will certainly not let it go.
This mother-in-law is a terrible disaster, more terrible than the loss of hundreds or thousands on the front line. Don't think that Americans are shameless. In fact, all great powers are shameless. Now is the time for the United States to win World War II and build global confidence.
Not long after the message was sent out, His Excellency the Supreme Lord, who was staying at the Tokyo Far East Military Office, was still considering how to deal with it? The British army on the Korean battlefield continuously sent telegrams asking if the 'Drysdale Squadron' was actually sent to the enemy by the US army to eat it.
Because Colonel Driesdale was a British officer, there were a large number of British soldiers in the detachment under his command. This is simply a huge basket. Think of the Reuters news agency. It must have reported so much that the British army would not care about it.
And the information released by captured Frank kept flowing, without any intention of stopping. He has first-hand information, such as an interview with the frontline commander of the Volunteer Army can send a bunch of news, which is absolutely eye-catching; or write a documentary report for captured officers, which is also extremely hot.
Reports with famous names and specific deeds have a high degree of credibility. Because the United Nations Army includes the troops of more than 20 countries in the world, people concerned about the Korean battlefield are spread all over the world. The 50-year-old media in the world is equally unscrupulous in order to attract readers to report crazy.
In fact, the US military was also very concerned about Frank's report, because this reporter also reported all kinds of details of the defeat of the US military in Gutu. In particular, ask the American soldiers and officers who have witnessed the battle, and draw a complete picture of the entire battle.
For the IS-7 heavy tank that broke through the US military position, Frank also wrote a lot, even describing in detail all the details he saw, and said that he took a lot of photos and even entered the tank to watch.
Through Frank's description of the IS-7, both the layman and the layman seem to see a tank beyond the times. Its weight of nearly 70 tons can be called huge, and its power of 1,200 horsepower and a maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour make tanks of other countries fall behind instantly.
The 130-mm main gun, the 40-mm auxiliary gun, the 60-mm mortar that supports the infantry, and a large number of on-board machine guns. Such a weapon configuration is enough to make the frontline US forces despair, and even to the rear US forces. The tank designer was shocked.
Not to mention the captured U.S. tanks personally described their engagement with IS-7. The power of their own artillery shells was clearly spoken in their words. The side-by-side killings in the confrontation silenced other U.S. tankers, and also made the families of the tankers in the 1st Marine Division cry.
"Damn, you must stop this guy's slanderous nonsense." The 'Great Emperor' who stayed in Tokyo finally couldn't sit still. The five-star admiral was the most respectable. He hoped that one day, like Eisenhower, he would change from military to political and win a president.
"In retro soil, I need you to win a victory immediately, a victory worthy of being publicized to the people of the world. Otherwise, the headlines of the major evening newspapers in the United States today are that our enemies are bragging about their achievements." .
You know, North Korea is just at night, but the United States on the other side of the earth is just dawn. The radio wave thing can travel long distances and can relay. As soon as the station in Gutori sends a message, Tokyo will receive it. When Tokyo received it, it was almost the same as the US.
Disaster!
MacArthur has always played the main faction on the Korean battlefield ~ EbookFREE.me ~ He tried to burn the war to Huaxia, and even wanted to compete with the Soviet Union. However, the US Congress and the government want to control the scope of the war, do not want to make things bigger, and do not want to become the third world war.
The overbearing Lao Mai relied on his record on the battlefield to maintain his influence. If the news of the failure of the First Marine Division was fermented by the media, his influence would soon be greatly reduced.
In fact, MacArthur was finally fired by Truman not only because of his uncontrollable arrogance, but also because of his series of failures in North Korea. So the current old wheat needs a big victory, not the news of failure.
"The Emperor's Emperor" exploded, and the pressure naturally spread to the heads of Commander Almond and Division Smith. The two men are worried about the third division in a hurry, but now listening to the boss's meaning, it shows that not only they want to defend, but they want to attack.
Let the third division attack? Do n’t run away that half of the Yufu unit with a lot of Nanba soldiers!
The two high-ranking officers who are under great pressure really have a headache, but the current situation is not only the trouble of MacArthur, but also their trouble. Especially the commander of the Tenth Army, Almond, is a close friend of Lao Mai. Now that the master is in trouble, it is obviously impossible for him to do his part.
"Let the third division attack forward all night, anyway, to recover Zhenxingli back." Almond was also helpless in the end, and now all he can do is continue to top the third division with weak combat power.
Looking at the situation on the map, Major General helplessly threw the pen in his hand towards the table and sighed. The third division is really trying to catch the ducks on the shelves this time.
What if this is abused?
