这个也有可能。但是铁原阻击战刚刚开始这一天(6月1日),也就是说美军还没有受到志愿军顽强阻击的时候,李奇微的计划就是推进到Wyomin线而没有进一步向北追击的计划。也就是说米蒂的心理预期就是铁原阻击战结束后的战线了。
当然,从志愿军方面来看,志愿军是不知道美军的计划的,所以铁原阻击战会很重要。而63军的顽强战斗,确实也迟滞了美军的推进(美军军史的记载见下),所以即便美军之前还有更高的心理预期,最后也只能选择到此为此了。
While Milburn and Hoge organized fullblown attacks to start on 3 June in the I Corps zone and 5 June in the IX Corps zone, forces edging above line Kansas in preliminary advances in both corps zones encountered stiff opposition. As General Ridgway had predicted, the Chinese were determined to hold the Iron Triangle and adjacent ground as long as possible. Then drenching rains during the last two days of May began to turn roads into boggy tracks and, along with low clouds and fog, limited close air support and both air and ground observation. Two clear days followed, but as the full attacks got under way on 3 June rainstorms returned to hamper operations through the 5th.10
Aided by the bad weather, Chinese delaying forces fighting doggedly from dug-in regimental positions arranged in depth held the advance to a crawl through 8 June, then finally gave way under the pressure and began a phased withdrawal, moving north in what air observers estimated as battalion-size groups. Against declining resistance and in drier weather, the assault divisions occupied their line Wyoming objectives between 9 and 11 June. In the I Corps zone, General Milburn sent tank-infantry patrols up each side of the Iron Triangle on 13 June to investigate P'yonggang at its apex. The patrols met no resistance en route and found P'yonggang deserted. The Chinese defenders of the triangle had taken up positions in commanding ground northeast and northwest of the town. I

: 这个有点先画靶后射箭的味道了。
: 如果63军没顶住,米帝心里的平衡线可能会是39度线附近。
: 志愿军在困难情况下顶了一下,可能强化了米帝之前的心里预期。如果没顶住,那可能就弱化了。
