The secretarial staff officer prepared the necessary materials, and Pei Chengyi walked to the big screen. 【】『Super fast update』

"Our army crossed the 38th parallel and captured Seoul not as the ultimate goal, but as a necessary means to achieve the goal." Pei Chengyi is very methodical, first point out the key points, "The whole world knows that after our army crosses the 38th parallel, it will attack Seoul and sweep the Korean Peninsula along the east and west roads. This is our strategic purpose, and there is no secret to it. Although the combat effectiveness of the South Korean army is low, as long as the generals of the South Korean army have a little brain, they will take-for-tat defensive measures. ”

"What-for-tat measures?" Zhao Rundong asked.

"Suppose I am the commander of the South Korean army." Bae Seung-yi asked the secretary and staff officer to display the map of the peninsula on the big screen, "Do two things first, one is to increase troops to Kaesong, and the other is to strengthen the defense of Incheon." These two measures have only one purpose: to delay the enemy's advance and buy enough time to deploy defense-in-depth. During this period, a nationwide war mobilization was carried out, and the main forces of the 3rd Army were concentrated in the Seoul area, and the total strength was expected to reach 500,000 or even more than 600,000. However, Seoul was not the main battlefield, and after the Battle of Seoul began, the 1st Army on the eastern battlefield took the initiative to retreat southward, exchanging space for time, forcing the 1st Army to go south alone. In order to prevent the 1st Army from attacking westward, more than half of the 1st Regiment Army was used to defend Chuncheon and Wonju. As long as the 3rd Army can hold out in Seoul for half a month, the 1st Regiment Army will be able to stabilize the eastern defense line, and even be able to nibble away at the 1st Army, which is extremely dispersed. Even after the eventual fall of Seoul, the nationwide war mobilization was completed, and there were enough forces to set up the first strategic line of defense from Cheongju to Yeongju, the second strategic line of defense from Daejeon to Andong, the third strategic line of defense from Jeonju to Daegu, and the fourth strategic line of defense around Busan. ”

Although Bae Seung-yi analyzed the battle situation from the standpoint of the South Korean army, no one raised any objections.

"The ultimate goal of the South Korean army is not to defeat our army, but to inflict unbearable casualties on our army." Bae Seung-yi changed his perspective and continued, "According to the consistent position of our army, after the end of the war, defense will be gradually transferred to the Korean National Defense Forces, and our army will only be responsible for providing national security guarantees. At this point, even if some South Korean troops continue to resist in the form of guerrilla warfare, they will face the Korean Defense Forces, not our army. Whether it is Yoo Jong-chun or the generals of the South Korean army, if they want to 'restore the country', they must have a place on the peninsula. The only hope of the ROK army is to force our army to stop advancing by inflicting casualties and losses that we cannot afford before we take Busan. ”

Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang nodded at the same time, affirming Pei Chengyi's analysis.

"The problem is, we have to take Seoul." Xiang Linghui glanced at Pei Chengyi and said, "No matter how you fight, Seoul is the main passage for our army to go south. For the time being, our troops did not have the ability to land in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, and could only attack southward along the western side of the peninsula, which was relatively flat. ”

"Attacking Seoul is only a means, not an end." Pei Chengyi once again emphasized his point of view, "Since it is a means, it can be adjusted." As mentioned earlier, Yoo Jong-chun only needs one seat, not the entire Korean Peninsula. If Yoo Jong-chun is allowed to go into exile on Jeju Island, it will not add an element of instability to the future of the peninsula. From a military point of view, if our army lands on Jeju Island by surprise, the problems at hand will be solved. ”

Xiang Linghui frowned slightly. looked at Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang.

"There are really many benefits to landing on Jeju Island." Zhao Rundong smiled. said to Pei Chengyi. "Since you came up with the idea. There must be a specific plan, right? ”

Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment. said: "I also just thought of the ground. I just feel like it's feasible. ”

"Elaborate on your specific thoughts." Peng Maobang grabbed in front of Zhao Rundong and said. "Let's refer to it. It's easy for everyone to discuss. ”

"Although there are many difficulties in attacking Jeju Island. But the benefits are clear. Pei Chengyi's mind turned quickly. First. The main combat unit is the Marine Corps. There is no need to draw combat units from the Army; Secondly. The main support force is the naval fleet in the interior, including the aircraft carrier battle group. It has little impact on the air force and the shore-based air force of the sea and sea aviation; Third. War materiel was transferred from the east and southeast. Transported by ship. Logistics support is relatively easy to put in place; At last. The Jeju Island garrison had only three divisions. The total number of troops is less than 50,000. It won't be too difficult to fight. Because the American army has withdrawn from the fighting. The South Korean Air Force is virtually incapacitated. Japan has no intention of entering the war zone for the time being. So our army only needs to think about dealing with the South Korean Navy. Three aircraft carrier battle groups deployed in the East China Sea are sufficient to complete the combat mission. In general. The difficulty of attacking Jeju Island is completely within the tolerance of our army. ”

Zhao Rundong smiled slightly. He looked at Peng Maobang.

"The benefits of attacking Jeju Island are really obvious." Peng Maobang did not sell the guanzi, and made a strategic analysis for Pei Chengyi, "General Pei Chengyi has made it very clear about the problems of battle and tactics, so I won't be too wordy." From a strategic point of view, when our troops land on Jeju Island, the ROK army will inevitably strengthen the southern part of the peninsula, especially Yeosu,

The defense of important ports will prevent our army from opening up the southern part of the peninsula, and the defense of the ROK army on the battlefield in the north will be greatly weakened, which will be of great benefit to our army in attacking Kaeseong and Seoul. After the difficulty of attacking Seoul was reduced, our army was able to divide part of its forces to attack Chuncheon and Wonju and strive to end the war as soon as possible. ”

Seeing that Wang Yuanqing meant what he said, Zhao Rundong did not rush to speak.

"Politically, the benefits of attacking Jeju Island are also obvious." When discussing military issues, Wang Yuanqing seldom expressed his opinions. "Although our army recovered many islands in the East China Sea War and the South China Sea War, the scale of the landing operation site was very limited, and sometimes the main force was fought by special forces, not the Marine Corps. After decades of construction, the Marine Corps has begun to take shape, but its combat effectiveness has not been tested. The attack on Jeju Island will not only test the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps, but also play a deterrent role in Taiwan, Japan, and other forces. ”

"The capture of Jeju Island will indeed have a great impact on Japan." Zhao Rundong smiled and said, "Back to the practical question, if you attack Jeju Island, how many combat troops need to be dispatched, how many combat materials need to be mobilized, and how much time will it take to complete the battle plan?" ”

Xiang Linghui didn't rush to speak, but looked at Pei Chengyi.

"Two Marine Divisions will be able to complete combat operations, and another division of reserves will be needed." Pei Cheng was a little big, because he didn't have time to think about specific issues. "In terms of support, more than 200 combat aircraft of the three aircraft carrier battle groups can provide sufficient air support for the Marine Corps, and the escort warships in the battle group can provide artillery support for the Marine Corps. If a large-scale ground battle lasts for 10 days, because the landing operation requires higher supplies, it is necessary to prepare about 250,000 tons of war materials, of which 150,000 tons will be supplied to the fleet. ”

"We have already made a battle plan, but we need to make adjustments according to the actual situation." Xiang Linghui took over the topic and said, "It will take about five days to complete the battle plan, and the transfer of materials and troops will be completed within this period. In addition, the biggest problem is the delivery of troops and materials. ”

Zhao Rundong frowned slightly, and motioned for Xiang Linghui to continue.

"The landing fleet delivers a maximum of two Marine Divisions at a time." Xiang Linghui picked up a cigarette and said, "In order to meet the logistics needs of the Marine Corps, civilian ships must be mobilized. Prior to this, our army had already mobilized part of the civilian ships to prepare for the delivery of combat supplies to the ground forces on the peninsula battlefield after the capture of Incheon. If the two campaigns start at the same time, or if the third campaign is carried out before Jeju Island is taken, we must expand the scope of mobilization. ”

This is a tricky question.

Previously mobilized civilian vessels were either state-owned or privately owned by the military. If the scope of mobilization is expanded, more civilian vessels will need to be requisitioned, which will lead to many problems.

Zhao Rundong nodded and looked at Gu Weimin.

"The problem of mobilization is not very big, but I propose to stagger the two campaigns." Gu Weimin was silent for a long time and did not express his opinion, "The main thing is that the speed of supply of ammunition and materials is difficult to provide sufficient guarantees for large-scale combat operations in two directions. The major arms production enterprises in China have reached their maximum production capacity under normal conditions, and if they want to expand the scale of production, they need to recruit more workers, and the purchase price will rise. Because it is difficult for newly recruited workers to become familiar with the job immediately, it is not possible to increase production capacity immediately. Since we have not mobilized for war, and there is no need for war mobilization, I do not think it is advisable to expand the scale of arms production so as not to have a more serious negative impact on the economy. ”

Zhao Rundong still did not rush to express his position, but used his eyes to seek Wang Yuanqing's opinion.

"This war has already taken a huge toll on us, and there is no need to pay a higher price." Wang Yuanqing understood what Zhao Rundong meant and made a compromise, "The purpose of participating in the war is to ensure national interests, and we cannot harm national interests in order to achieve unrealistic goals." If you can relieve the pressure, you should stagger the two battles. ”

"Do you have any comments?" Zhao Rundong didn't dwell on any more, "In this case, the General Staff Headquarters should adjust the deployment of the campaign as soon as possible, launch a separate combat operation to attack Jeju Island, and if necessary, appropriately delay the start time of the third campaign." ”

Xiang Linghui nodded and didn't say much.

"Be prepared on the diplomatic side." Zhao Rundong looked at Wang Yuanqing, "Since Liu Zongchun has taken the initiative to negotiate an armistice with our country, we can't refuse people thousands of miles away, and we can't be overly enthusiastic. I think it would be more appropriate for the North Korean government to intervene. Until the situation becomes clear, we will not be in direct contact with South Korea. When we have brought the situation on the peninsula under control, we will negotiate with the enemy, and we will negotiate with the United States, not with South Korea. ”

Wang Yuanqing smiled and said that he understood what Zhao Rundong meant.

When it comes to negotiations, South Korea is not qualified enough
