When Cheng Yi introduced the campaign and tactical plan, Wang Yuanqing interrupted his key questions many times. The main reason is that Wang Yuanqing is not from a military background and is not very good at military issues. Xiang Linghui had to give Pei Chengyi many glances, asking him to pay attention to the content of the report and not to be too wordy.

After listening to the lengthy battle and tactical plan, Wang Yuanqing did not rush to speak.

Ye Zhisheng, who had been very active before, did not grab the "jackpot", and everyone waited patiently.

"How to coordinate the command of combat operations?" The first question raised by Wang Yuanqing went straight to the point: "According to the operational plan drawn up by the General Staff Headquarters, our army's initial investment was not large, and the North Korean army was the main force in the combat operations south of Anzhou. ”

It seemed that Wang Yuanqing had long expected that he would raise this issue, and Xiang Linghui said unhurriedly: "According to the relevant agreement we signed with the DPRK, a joint combat command of the two armies will be established during the war, and the two sides will send representatives to communicate and cooperate and inform each other of combat operations. ”

"Just a briefing?"

Xiang Linghui nodded and said, "Other than that, we have not established a joint command mechanism with North Korea. ”

Wang Yuanqing was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer.

"Actually, we shouldn't have too much hope for the North Korean army."

Glancing at Pei Chengyi, who took the initiative to speak, Wang Yuanqing turned his gaze to Xiang Linghui.

"There is a high probability that the North Korean army will be completely defeated within days of the outbreak of war. It's good if you don't help. Xiang Linghui picked up his cigarette. Said. "We can't go to war early. Therefore, it is not possible to propose to the DPRK the establishment of a joint command structure on its own initiative before the outbreak of war. Unify the operational command work of the two armies. Even if we offer it. North Korea will not accept it either. Because Kim Chol-nam has always been worried about our control of the North Korean armed forces. Overthrow the 'Kim family'. ”

Wang Yuanqing took a long breath. motioned for Xiang Linghui to continue.

"The first round of attack. The United States and South Korea will try to blow up Kim Cheol-nam. At the very least, Kim Chol-nam should lose contact with the North Korean army. Paralyzing the command system of the DPRK army. Let the Korean army be leaderless. As long as Kim Chol-nam did not give the battle order for several hours. The DPRK forces deployed near the 38th parallel will launch a counterattack against the ROK in accordance with the preparatory combat plan. Xiang Linghui paused slightly. Said. "For the North Korean army. This is not a suicidal act. The reasonable tactic is to retreat. Consolidate the in-depth defense area north of Kaesong. Cause trouble for the South Korean army in the place where the attack was launched. Gain time for reaction and preparation. A large-scale counterattack can only expose the rear of the North Korean army. Provide the most favorable conditions for the rapid assault of the South Korean army. If the South Korean army moves quickly, surprises decisively, and has sufficient troops. It is entirely possible to encircle nearly 300,000 Korean troops in the Kaesong area. Fight a war of annihilation on an unprecedented scale. Pyongyang will be completely exposed to the South Korean army. The North Korean army will be routed at an alarming speed. We should not expect the DPRK army to play much of a role on the battlefield. It is also necessary to make preparations for the containment and reorganization of the defeated DPRK military sites in the border areas. ”

"How could it be so bad?" Ye Zhisheng seemed a little unconvinced.

Xiang Linghui smiled. gave Pei Chengyi a look.

"It's not the worst case scenario." In the presence of the Deputy Head of State. Pei Chengyi, a colonel's staff officer, is not as easy as the chief of the General Staff. "The DPRK's military thinking is still stuck in the sixties of the last century. Not only is it not familiar with modern warfare. I don't know how to fight a modern war yet. Even without considering Japan's entry into the war in the first place. The ROK-US coalition will deploy at least 2,500 combat aircraft at the outbreak of war. It was capable of making about 3,500 sorties in 24 hours. Air strikes will become the main offensive method of the ROK-US coalition. The DPRK army concentrated its troops. Although it is beneficial to launch a ground offensive. But it is very passive when resisting air strikes. After the loss of the combat capability of air defense. The North Korean army will collapse at a very rapid pace. The North Korean army deployed its main forces near the border line. Pyongyang will be very empty. When the South Korean army advanced towards Pyongyang. Kim Chol-nam will certainly order the surrounding forces to assemble in Pyongyang. As a result, there was an emptiness of troops in the direction of Anju and Wonsan. Provide landing conditions for US troops. With the rapid advance of the US military. The North Korean army will definitely surrender en masse. ”

Ye Zhisheng was stunned for a moment, and then sighed.

"In other words, we must be mentally prepared to fight alone?" Wang Yuanqing looked very calm.

Xiang Linghui nodded and said, "From the very beginning, we were mentally prepared to fight alone.

Of course, the work in the rear can be handed over to the DPRK army, or the DPRK army that has accepted our reorganization. ”

Wang Yuanqing pondered for a while and asked, "How big will our casualties be?" ”

"It's not going to be anywhere." Xiang Linghui extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "How many casualties there will be depends on the rules of the war." According to our estimates, before the Japanese entered the war, the number of dead was between 3,000 and 5,000, and the number of wounded was not less than 10,000. If Japan enters the war on a large scale, we invest eight armies on the peninsula battlefield and at the same time expand the scope of the war, the number of dead will definitely exceed 10,000, and the wounded will not be less than 30,000! ”

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly.

"It's the ideal scenario." Xiang Linghui picked up another cigarette and said, "If the situation gets out of control, the casualties will inevitably exceed 50,000, and may even reach 80,000." ”

"How many casualties will the U.S. military have?"

“

We are less. ”

Wang Yuanqing let out a sigh and said: "In this way, we must focus on attacking the US military after entering the war, and first force the US to withdraw its troops, so as to reduce the scale of the war to the greatest extent. ”

Xiang Linghui hesitated for a moment and said: "If the United States withdraws its troops, Japan will enter the war......

"It takes time for Japan to enter the war, and it is impossible to send hundreds of thousands of troops across the Korean Strait overnight, right?" Wang Yuanqing glanced at Xiang Linghui and said, "Quickly defeat the US army, and then advance southward, strive to complete the combat operation as quickly as possible, and reduce the number of casualties of our army." If necessary, the scale of the operation could be expanded in advance, the capture of Jeju Island, the use of naval and air forces to block the Korean Strait, and prevent the Japanese army from coming ashore. ”

"But ......" Xiang Linghui was secretly surprised, where Wang Yuanqing was controlling the scale, it was simply expanding the war.

"Of course, that's just my opinion. Before the plan is decided, it must be reported to the Führer and the Führer's consent must be obtained. Wang Yuanqing knew what Xiang Linghui was thinking, "The General Staff Headquarters must do a good job in relevant work, and as long as the head of state approves the plan, we must make preparations for a big battle." ”

"In this way, there are more than eight troops put in."

"Combat operations in the south are under the responsibility of the Marine Corps." Wang Yuanqing paused slightly and said, "If the Marines can successfully capture Jeju Island, they can also get unexpected benefits." ”

Xiang Linghui nodded, indicating that he understood the meaning of Wang Yuanqing's words.

Jeju Island is hundreds of kilometers away from the mainland of the Republic, and if the Marines are able to capture Jeju Island, they will definitely be able to land on the island of Taiwan. Therefore, this combat operation has clearly set out what the Taiwan authorities will do, so that the Taiwan authorities can quickly make a decision, and provide the most powerful impetus for the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait.

"In addition to this, the Air Force must also be prepared to strike at Japanese nuclear targets."

"The relevant combat operations are deployed separately, and we have not focused on them."

Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "The most important thing is the two Japanese nuclear submarines. Before entering the war, the navy will do whatever it takes to kill it. ”

"The whereabouts of the Japanese nuclear submarine have always been in our hands." Xiang Linghui's answer was very capable.

"Finally, there is the issue of the deployment of naval combat groups." Wang Yuanqing paused a little and said, "The last Korean War made us miss the best opportunity for reunification, and the current republic is not the republic of the 50s of the 20th century. Although neither we nor the United States are willing to break out into direct conflict, we cannot allow history to repeat itself, let alone miss the best opportunity for reunification again. Even if a maritime conflict breaks out with the United States, we must prevent the United States from sabotaging the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait! ”

"We should pay more attention to Japan than to the United States."

Wang Yuanqing frowned and looked at Pei Chengyi, who was speaking.

"The attitude of the United States is relatively clear, as long as we enter the war and quickly turn the tide of the war, we will take the opportunity to get out, otherwise we will not take the initiative to win over South Korea and Japan." Pei Chengyi looked a little cautious, "Although the U.S. military will dispatch several aircraft carrier battle groups, the main battlefield is the Korean Peninsula, and the reason for the U.S. military to enter the war is also the U.S.-South Korea military alliance." The United States will not meddle in the affairs of the Taiwan Strait at the risk of a full-scale conflict with us unless absolutely necessary. Moreover, if the United States wants to intervene in Taiwan, it will have to send an air combat group within the strike range of our air force. In this case, no amount of aircraft carrier battle groups will work. ”

Xiang Linghui nodded, expressing support for Pei Chengyi's judgment.

Wang Yuanqing pondered for a while and said, "Even so, the navy must be fully prepared. If Japan dares to send troops to meddle in the Taiwan Strait issue, it will be resolutely annihilated! ”

"We have four aircraft carrier battle groups, and Japan only has two. As long as the United States does not take action, Japan will at best make a show and will not play with fire. Relatively speaking, we have the ability to fight on two fronts, but Japan does not have this capability. As long as Murakami is a little more sensible, he will not provoke new disputes during the Peninsular War. ”

"It seems that there is nothing more for me to worry about. The last question," Wang Yuanqing glanced at everyone and said, "Who is responsible for the command of this combat operation?" ”

Xiang Linghui was late for a moment and said, "I will command, and the front-line combat operations will be commanded by Colonel Pei Chengyi." ”

Wang Yuanqing glanced at the colonel's staff officer, and seemed to be a little disbelieving in Pei Chengyi's ability.

"Nominally, I still have full command over the place, and Colonel Pei Chengyi is only giving combat orders for me." Xiang Linghui smiled and said, "With the current command system of our army, rank is not a key issue, and I believe that Colonel Pei has enough ability to take on the heavy responsibility of front-line command." ”

Wang Yuanqing glanced at Pei Chengyi again and didn't say anything more.

This was the end of the meeting, and Wang Yuanqing left the General Staff Headquarters and went to the Führer's Palace. Although Zhao Rundong's opinion was not consulted in advance, Wang Yuanqing knew that Zhao Rundong, who had always been tough on military issues, would not veto his deployment.

The scale of this war will exceed all expectations.

Damn it**
