While Zhou Qingfeng was still wreaking havoc at the Hungnan Port in the dark of night, the editor-in-chief of the Associated Press's international department received a fax from the Tokyo branch in the morning.

The editor-in-chief first looked at the somewhat blurry photographs of a snowy valley in the midst of war, with an Asian man in a U.S. military uniform standing in front of a tank. He did not rush to read the text of the manuscript, but tried to distinguish what model of tank was in front of him with the characteristics of his profession?

"I've never seen a tank like this before." The editor-in-chief had no choice but to give up the identification, and could only read the text unhappily. And after reading three or four lines, his eyes suddenly became focused.

After World War II, the United States was really booming, like a hegemon in the sky, and it was not uncommon for the people to have all kinds of icing on the cake news. And for the media, announcing a winning message clearly does not catch the reader's eye. And what if it's a message of defeat?

It is impossible to ......, and the mighty US army can still be defeated? You must know that a few years ago, we overthrew the Axis powers that threatened the whole world, and the German and Japanese fascists were overthrown by the invincible US military!

However, the editor-in-chief of the International Department of the Associated Press kept seeing some shocking words in his manuscript -- severe cold, low temperature, strong attack, fiasco, casualties, and frustration.

Halfway through it, the editor-in-chief confirmed that he had received an explosive piece of news - that the 1st Marine Division, a symbol of American honor, had suffered heavy losses.

It's like a dog biting a man is not news, a man biting a dog is news. The setback of the US military is what the media needs, in order to get readers to pay attention and stimulate newspaper sales.

The editor-in-chief of the international department hurriedly went to the editor-in-chief's office with the manuscript and said solemnly: "Sir, you should take a look at this report. Our army suffered heavy losses in Korea, the enemy dispatched new types of heavy tanks, and there were no weapons at the front that could compete with them. ”

"The Pershing tank is defenseless under its muzzle, and its armor is so thick that it ignores our shells. The lads of the tank battalion of the 1st Marine Regiment endured a massacre, and in the battle to try to rescue the division headquarters, charred corpses paved the entire road. ”

"The enemy captured Gutuli, where the 1st Marine Regiment was located, and captured thousands of men. The POW camp was filled with a variety of U.S. officers, and I even met Major McLaughlin, who was part of the 'Drysdale Detachment', an assistant to the 10th Corps Operations Department and a Marine Division liaison. ”

The text on the manuscript made the editor-in-chief of the Associated Press tremble. It's a disaster, but it's also an extremely important piece of news that will definitely cause a stir. He asked, "Who sent this manuscript?" ”

"Frank. Noel, our war correspondent for the 1st Marine Division, said he had been captured. But the enemy allowed him to act as a journalist, so he sent a manuscript to our Tokyo bureau.

The Tokyo bureau is verifying the veracity of the news, but our command of the Far Eastern Army refuses to answer any questions. This means that the news is likely to be true. "The editor-in-chief of the International Department has obviously done some upfront work and has learned enough information.

"And who is this man?" The editor-in-chief pointed to the Asian man in the U.S. military uniform in the photo and asked, "This should be an enemy officer, right?" ”

"Frank called him 'Zhou', and it is said that this was the man who commanded a powerful tank assault force to break through the defenses of the 1st Marine Regiment. I just asked my friends at the front, and they said that Colonel Puller of the 1st Marine Regiment was beaten and fled by this guy, and he was not an opponent at all. ”

The editor-in-chief's answer made the editor-in-chief continue to exclaim, but he did not sigh too much for the tragic experience of the US military, but shouted excitedly: "Great, this news can be placed on the front pages of many newspapers and sold for a lot of money."

The radio host will be eager for more details, and all Americans will be shocked and will jump off the table with the news. Let the people in the Tokyo bureau work hard, and we must not break the contact with Frank, and we can pay us double. ”

The editor-in-chief was so happy that he jumped up from the table first, but then the phone on the table was ringing. After he answered, he said a few words, and his face immediately fell.

The editor-in-chief hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

"The phone from the Ministry of Defense, they didn't allow us to send this news, saying it would cause panic and leak secrets." The editor-in-chief hung up the phone and scolded: "These wastes have lost the battle themselves, but they don't allow us to get rich!" ”

But the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief are a little helpless, and the press control in the United States prevents them from publishing any war information at will, which is illegal.

However.......

Frank. Noel is unrestrained, he keeps posting information. From the fall of Tuguli to the end of Jinheung-ri, to the battlefield documentary interviews of a large number of captured American soldiers, as well as photos of volunteer soldiers and officers. Each of these stories was explosive, never before before.

The Associated Press, who was in New York, was shocked by the barrage of news, and they could imagine how enthusiastic Mr. Noel on the other side of the world was working.

And because they couldn't publish these news, the top management of the Associated Press was even more desperate. Each of these blockbuster news is explosive, and every one of them is money!

And even more painful are the other news agencies in the United States, who also receive these news and are equally unable to publish them. And what other news agencies are most jealous of is -- why don't we have any journalists captured? Why don't we have such news? We also demand that journalists be taken prisoner and that they be treated equally.

If the U.S. news agencies don't publish it, the news agencies of other countries won't hesitate. The Soviet Union's TASS news agency immediately released Frank's news, and also added fuel and vinegar to celebrate the Chinese little brothers' achievement, and at the same time they also showed themselves the merits of the tank -- the tank is our family's.

The photo of Uncle Zhou standing in front of the tank was immediately popular in the vast territory of the Soviet Union, and all the woolly bears knew that there was a great tank commander in their socialist camp, who overturned more than a dozen tanks and dozens of combat vehicles of the US army in a single battle.

This is a proper ace of armor!

The Soviet Union sent it, and European countries did the same, and Uncle Zhou swept the entire socialist camp for a while, and at the same time caused panic in capitalist countries. And only the Americans are staring at it.

What is even more surprising is that the non-stop armored ace is again in battle, he led a fast column to raid the US Third Division, and defeated it in one fell swoop (the Americans would not say that the Third Division was bombed by their own bombers beforehand).

This news is even more exciting, and the world is watching!

The marshals of the Soviet Union are asking the comrades in China -- Congratulations on your tank crews for their world-class attack power, but how did your men achieve such great results? We'd love to get into the details.

The Soviets asked, and the Europeans wanted to know. Because a fast column defeated an infantry division, a living miracle!

You must know that the steel torrent of millions of Soviet troops is pressing on the brains of Europeans, and if the results of the Korean battlefield are of universal significance, does it not mean that the defense line laid by the Europeans is also fragile?

The European allies anxiously asked the Americans: Are you really so weak scum?

The Americans were furious: we are not weak scum, it's just that something is technically wrong with it. We're still going strong!

As a result, ......, the U.S. government had just comforted its European brother that something had happened to North Korea again. It's the Changjin Lake area again, it's the enemy's tanks again, and it's your own bad luck. This time, it was actually the most powerful reliance of the United States in the world -- the aircraft carrier was frightened!

Frank. Noel even followed the fast column and took a photo of Zhou Qingfeng leaning out of the turret to direct the IS-7 forward, and the background was the 'Wright' burning and burning on the sea.

The dark night, the cold wind, the armor, the fire, the warriors, the invincible spirit of the world and the achievements of the three armies, this scene will inspire the blood and pride of all men!

Mr. Reporter risked his life to stay in Zhou Qingfeng's car. After avoiding the attack of the American naval guns, he specially asked to get out of the car to take this posing photo. The venture proved to be worth it, and he won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism the following year.

And Uncle Zhou is ...... and famous all over the world!

When this photo and the related first-hand news were sent back to New York, the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief of the Associated Press immediately went berserk -- such sensational news must not be let go, let the waste of the Department of Defense die, we must publish it, make it public, and publish it so that everyone knows about it!

So when Zhou Qingfeng made an immortal achievement, the American people first learned a piece of sad news on the radio.

In the waters off the east coast of Korea, the aircraft carrier USS Wright was attacked by enemy tanks and suffered heavy damage. ’

A fire broke out on the deck of the Wright, and the fire was uncontrollable. ’

'The port of Hungnam was attacked, and tens of thousands of people of the 10th Army were in extreme danger. ’

'Major General Smith of the 1st Marine Division was killed in the fire of the USS Wright. ’

'The president ordered national mourning and flags were flown at half-mast. ’

'Can we still win this war?' ’
