The army landed at Wonsan, and Xiang Linghui began to assign combat duties to the participating troops

On the morning of the 20th, the DPRK ambassador again rushed to the residence of the deputy head of state and asked the Republic to immediately send troops to the DPRK in accordance with the commitments made in the "Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance."

Wang Yuanqing's attitude softened, but he didn't immediately agree.

After asking Huang Guowei to deal with the North Korean ambassador, Wang Yuanqing rushed to the General Staff Headquarters to attend a pre-war meeting chaired by Zhao Rundong himself.

"As of 8 o'clock this morning, except for the ongoing fighting in the Kaesong direction, the offensive operations of the South Korean army in several other directions have been stopped." Xiang Linghui was in charge of briefing the situation, "The offensive operation is far as expected by the South Korean army, and the battle in the direction of Kaesong will last for at least 48 hours, and it is very good that the South Korean army can occupy Kaesong on the morning of the 22nd." The Korean army, which was marching towards Cheonghak, encountered great resistance, and it was expected to reach Cheonghak in the early morning of the 22nd and occupy Cheonghak on the night of the 22nd. The problem on the eastern battlefield was relatively simple, and with the US 7th Infantry Division entering the battle, the North Korean army would be quickly annihilated, and the battle would probably end on the night of the 211th. ”

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly, with Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang present, he didn't ask questions.

"The U.S. 2nd Marine Division in Wonsan did not advance immediately, mainly because the port infrastructure was damaged by the North Korean army, and heavy equipment could not be sent ashore immediately." Xiang Linghui hesitated a little and said, "However, the US army's offensive will definitely start before the early morning of the 211th." The preset fleet from Guam will arrive in Wonsan on the morning of the 211th, and the repair of the port infrastructure will be completed by 12 o'clock on the 211th.

The attack was launched not only by the 2nd Marine Division and the 11C11th Air Assault Division, but also by the 1st Marine Division, which arrived with the prepositioned fleet. As previously judged, the US military abandoned the operational plan for landing in the western part of Korea and threw all the amphibious forces into the eastern theater. After the offensive begins, the U.S. forces will advance west and north at the same time, striving to capture Sunchon and Hamhung as quickly as possible, and complete the interspersed and divided operations of the Great Depth Campaign. If the North Korean army does not put up stubborn resistance, the combat operation will be completed between the 23rd and the 24th. By the 25th, the U.S. forces arriving at Hamhung would continue to move north to complete the strategic roundabout outflanking operation. ”

Wang Yuanqing let out a sigh and glanced at Zhao Rundong.

Zhao Rundong didn't say anything, waiting for Xiang Linghui to continue.

"Overall. In addition to making the battle plan too idealistic. South Korea's performance is quite good. Xiang Linghui smiled. Said. "The biggest problem facing the South Korean army now is the shortage of war materials. According to the information we have gathered from the battlefield. The South Korean army consumed at least 40,000 tons of supplies in the first 30 hours of fighting in the storm. The total consumption of combat materials by the ROK and US coalition forces will not be less than 100,000 tons. And so it goes. The ROK army must solve the problem of logistics and supply areas. If nothing else. The United States will dispatch a fast fleet. Transporting supplies stockpiled in Guam to the front lines. Other than that. It is quite possible that the United States will come to an agreement with Japan. Some of the war materiel was transported from Japan to South Korea by means of a material exchange. to shorten the replenishment time. Because there is no subway from South Korea to North Korea. Road transport is inefficient. Therefore, the ROK army must occupy a port on the western battlefield that can be used for large ships to dock. Haichuan is the only choice. Maybe today, tomorrow at the latest. The South Korean army will divide its forces to attack Haecheon. ”

"So to speak. Will the South Korean army be forced to delay its march to Pyongyang? Wang Yuanqing couldn't help but ask.

Xiang Linghui nodded. said: "The biggest mistake of the Korean army is that it consumes too many troops and war materials in Kaesong. Valuable time is wasted. If the South Korean army attacks Haecheon. The attack on Pyongyang had to be delayed for more than 48 hours. It is expected that the South Korean army will reach Pyongyang on the 24th or 25th at the earliest. Offensive operations will begin within twelve hours of arrival. Perhaps the U.S. military will move south to attack Pyongyang after occupying Sunchon. But before the arrival of the South Korean army. It is unlikely that U.S. forces will break into Pyongyang. Therefore. It is very likely that the US military will go north as originally planned. Leave Pyongyang to the South Korean army. ”

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly. When he saw Zhao Rundong, he wanted to speak. The issue of the new land was not raised.

"Overall. The ROK-US joint offensive operation was expected in our country. Zhao Rundong glanced at everyone. Said. "If the situation develops according to our predictions. Our army will enter the battle on the night of the 25th or in the early morning of the 26th. The main purpose of convening this meeting is: Should our army enter the war in advance. ”

"Join the war early?" Wang Yuanqing immediately frowned.

Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "The South Korean and American coalition forces have seized air supremacy, and the North Korean army will be quickly defeated." In addition to the North Korean fighters that have fled into our territory, it is expected that a large number of North Korean troops will pour into our territory after the 24th. Although we will reunite the disorganized North Korean forces in accordance with the strategic plan we have previously drawn up, it is more beneficial for us to maintain a properly sized North Korean army in the long run. ”

Wang Yuanqing was late for a moment and did not speak in a hurry.

"Lao Zhao is right, it is very necessary for us to maintain a DPRK army of appropriate size." Peng Maobang spoke, "Our ultimate goal is not to occupy North Korea, let alone annex North Korea and carry the heavy burden of tens of millions of war refugees

: After the army enters the Korean war, the occupation army will definitely be needed. If it is borne by our army: the burden will be very heavy, and the cost will be very staggering. In my opinion, it would be better for the North Korean army to be in charge of the occupation and at the same time be in charge of logistics. ”

"The problem is, there's no need to go to war in advance."

"There is no need to send ground troops." Cho Yun-dong paused for a moment and said, "First of all, the air force should be dispatched to regain air supremacy in the northern part of North Korea, so as to avoid an uncontrollable rout and retreat, and test the confidence of the South Korean and US coalition forces." So far, Kim Chol-nam and other North Korean leaders have not appeared, and we have to assume that they have been killed. It is all the more important for us to ensure the stability of the northern part of the DPRK and to prevent the influx of war refugees into our territory. ”

"If done well, it can also force the US military to speed up its advance."

Glancing at Peng Maobang, Wang Yuanqing pondered.

"I think the biggest problem is that if we don't take a stand, the South Korean and U.S. forces are likely to be more vigilant." Zhao Rundong sighed and said, "The war has reached this point, and we still haven't made a decision to send troops. Although it takes enough time to mobilize the ground forces, with the mechanism of our army, the air force can complete the mobilization within 24 hours. The United States is well aware of the strength of our military and land, and if it drags on, our intentions will be too obvious. ”

"As soon as the U.S. military is aware of the danger, it will slow down the attack." Peng Maobang sneered and said, "If I were the commander of the US army, I would use more troops to fill the gap in the rear and not give us any chance." When our army enters the DPRK to fight, it will face the difficult problem of fighting a regular battlefield with the ROK-US coalition forces, and the losses will be very huge. In order to achieve our operational objectives, it is necessary to get the Air Force into the war as soon as possible. ”

Wang Yuanqing didn't say much, because he really didn't have much say on military issues.

"Chief of Staff Xiang, can you briefly introduce the situation." Zhao Rundong changed the subject.

"After the Air Force entered the war, its main task was to ensure air supremacy in the northern part of Korea." Xiang Linghui had already made preparations, "Because our army will not send ground troops to participate in the war for the time being, and the defeat of the North Korean army in the south has been decided, the air force will first invest in air supremacy combat forces, and will not invest too much striking force." Although the ROK-US coalition has deployed nearly 3,000 combat aircraft, most of them are used for ground support, and the main operations are concentrated in the southern theater, and the number of fighters that can be used for air supremacy operations will not exceed 400. Relying on China's own air defense forces, our army first invested nearly 300 combat aircraft in 12 brigades, eight of which were equipped with J-14 fighters. Our army will also put in 10 to 15 AWACS aircraft, 20 electronic warfare planes and 8 tanker planes. The overall investment accounts for about 30 percent of the Air Force's combat strength. ”

"How big will the loss be?"

"It will not be too little, and it is expected that a hundred to one hundred and fifty combat aircraft will be lost before the army enters the war." Xiang Linghui hesitated for a moment and said, "The special forces will accompany them to the battle, responsible for rescuing pilots who have fallen in North Korea, especially in the areas controlled by the South Korean and US coalition forces." ”

Wang Yuanqing let out a sigh.

"It is necessary to negotiate with the major aircraft factories as soon as possible, as well as with the ammunition production plants." Zhao Rundong looked at Wang Yuanqing and said, "After participating in the war, the loss of equipment and material consumption of our army will definitely be very amazing. Relatively speaking, the fighting of the first few days can only be regarded as a 'warm-up exercise', and the army will definitely have greater losses after entering the war. The government should do a good job of coordinating the work and give full support to the armed forces in combat. ”

Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "Premier Gu Weimin is in charge of the relevant work, and I will communicate with him." ”

"The communication work on the North Korean side should also be arranged."

Wang Yuanqing nodded again and said, "I have made a promise to the North Korean ambassador that I will enter the war as soon as possible. If Kim Chol-nam and others are killed, we must make arrangements to support the new DPRK regime as soon as possible so as to avoid political and diplomatic troubles after our army enters the DPRK. ”

Zhao Rundong pondered for a while and said: "It is indeed necessary, the problem is that the situation of Jin Zhenan and others has not yet been determined, and we should not make arrangements too early." Of course, it is possible to prepare in advance. As soon as it is confirmed that Kim Chol-nam and others have been killed, a new North Korean regime must be established immediately. ”

"I think it's okay to leave this matter to the Military Intelligence Agency."

Hearing Peng Maobang's words, Zhao Rundong and Wang Yuanqing laughed at the same time.

"The MIA has always been good at this, and they are in charge of the preliminary work, and finally the government is in charge."

"Okay, you can't let the MIA sit idle."

Zhao Rundong said that Wang Yuanqing was not good at objecting, and said: "In this case, I think it is more appropriate to let Lao Pan be responsible, after all, Xiao Li does not have much experience in this area." ”

No one disagrees with Wang Yuanqing's opinion, in terms of experience, 1 Li Cunxun can't catch up with 1 Pan Yunsheng.

This was the end of the meeting, and the participation of the Air Force of the Republic in the war was decided.

Damn it**
