Before dawn, Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi arrived in Shenyang by plane.

The commanders of the 15th Airborne Army, the 16th Airborne Army, the 17th Airborne Army (formed in 2020, similar to the 16th Airborne Army, with the Air Assault Brigade as the mainstay), the 37th Army, the 38th Army, the 54th Army, the 611th Army, and the 77th Army (formed in 2020, the first information/network infantry corps of the Republic, with the nature of an experimental force) and the commanders of each brigade came to the headquarters of the Shenyang Military Region 2 hours before Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi arrived.

The construction of the front command was completed before the outbreak of war.

In the face of a group of major generals (most of the army commanders are in the rank of major general) and brigadier general (the corresponding rank of the brigade commander), Pei Chengyi, the colonel's staff officer, seems a little insignificant.

Xiang Linghui made a special trip to "support the façade" for Pei Chengyi.

No matter how high Xiang Linghui's status in the army is, all the generals attending the meeting have to give face to Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang, because they are both young and middle-aged generals who were single-handedly promoted by Peng Maobang during Zhao Rundong's administration.

"According to the arrangement of the Führer and the Deputy Führer, I will be the commander-in-chief of this combat operation." Xiang Linghui glanced at the generals present and said, "During the operation, the General Staff will issue combat orders to combat units at all levels, but under normal circumstances, the front-line command headquarters is responsible for combat operations. On my behalf, Colonel Pei Chengyi is here to take full responsibility for the command of combat operations. ”

Mr. Xiang did not ask for advice.

The generals glanced at the colonel's staff officer standing behind Xiang Linghui, and they all showed a look of distrust.

"Although the battle plan has been handed down to the brigade combat unit, it is necessary to conduct combat operations again." Xiang Linghui paused a little and said, "Colonel, you come to give a briefing on the battle. ”

This time. Several major generals were a little unable to sit still.

Xiang Linghui didn't say much. Let Pei Chengyi stand at the front desk.

"The battle plan has long been decided. Some adjustments have been made according to the actual situation. "Pei Chengyi is very calm and calm. It seems that sitting in the conference room is a group of lieutenants. "The first places to enter the DPRK will be the 152nd Airborne Brigade, the 163rd Airborne Brigade and the 173rd Airborne Brigade. The airborne fields are Goro in the north of Hamxing, Jijiechuan in the north of Suncheon, and Seongbu-ri in the east of Qinghe. The time of the airborne landing is determined by the time when the Air Force seizes air supremacy and the speed of the US Marine Corps' offensive in the northward assault. The first campaign. The mission of the Airborne 153 Brigade is the most important. ”

When Pei Chengyi stopped. Xiang Linghui looked at Brigadier General Fang Xinzhong, commander of the 153rd Airborne Brigade.

Brigadier General and Brigade Commander didn't look at it. Seems to know how difficult the battle is in place.

"The mission of Airborne 153 is to block the door for the US military to flee south." Pei Chengyi particularly emphasized, "The main purpose of the first battle is to annihilate the two US Marine Divisions in the north, and whether the 153rd Airborne Brigade can hold Wulao is directly related to the success or failure of the battle." ”

"Brigade Commander Fang, is there any problem?"

"Timely air support, timely airdrop of war materials, and ......" Fang said after a moment of delay in the letter, "We need a batch of light artillery, at least a battalion of large-caliber mortars and enough shells, otherwise it will be difficult to withstand the frantic attack of the two Marine Divisions." ”

Xiang Linghui nodded and said, "I will do everything I can to meet the requirements of the 153rd Airborne Brigade." ”

"The main task of the 163 Airborne Brigade is to stabilize the North Korean army in North Pyongan Province and provide enough time for the reorganization of the North Korean army. If necessary, the 163rd Airborne Brigade will take on the task of assaulting Sunchon to prevent the ROK-US coalition from attacking Pyongyang from Suncheon. Bae Seung-yi paused for a moment and said, "If the battle goes well, the 163rd Airborne Brigade will be the first to leave for Pyongyang, so we must be prepared to deal with the refugees and the collapse of the North Korean army." ”

Without waiting for Xiang Linghui to speak, Brigadier General Yu Shibo, commander of the 163rd Airborne Brigade, said: "We will try our best to make all preparations." ”

Xiang Linghui nodded and motioned for Pei Chengyi to continue.

"The main task of the 173 Airborne Brigade is to block the South Korean army moving from east to west." Bae Chengyi glanced at the big screen showing battlefield information and said, "At present, it seems that the Airborne 173 Brigade is very likely to encounter three or four South Korean divisions in the north of the city, including at least one armored division. After the battle begins, the ROK army will first attack Pyongyang, which may be supported by the US 7th Infantry Division. After holding out for a few days, when we have annihilated the U.S. Marines heading north, the ROK army is likely to retreat south. At this time, the 173 Airborne Brigade must quickly assault in the direction of Pyongkang, strive to reach Pyongkang before the South Korean army, block the passage for the South Korean army to withdraw south of the 38th parallel, and lay the foundation for the annihilation of the South Korean army. ”

Brigadier General Yuan Shaozhi, commander of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, hesitated for a moment and said: "The blocking task is not difficult, if we want to quickly assault south, we need sufficient armored forces." ”

"After a turning point in the campaign, we will first airdrop paratrooper combat vehicles for the Airborne 173 Brigade."

Hearing Xiang Linghui's words, Yuan Shaozhi nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Airborne 152 as a campaign reserve." Pei Chengyi continued to assign tasks, "If the U.S. Marine Corps goes all out to break through, it is very likely that the Airborne 152 will reinforce the Airborne 153 Brigade within 24 to 48 hours after the start of the war, and then it is possible to reinforce the Airborne 173 Brigade, or perform other tasks, so the Airborne 152 must always maintain combat readiness." ”

Brigadier General Wu Xianhui, commander of the 152nd Airborne Brigade, ordered

He looked a little dissatisfied.

It's not that he looks down on Pei Chengyi, but the airborne 152 was arranged as a reserve and couldn't go to the battlefield immediately.

Xiang Linghui shook his head with a smile and asked Pei Chengyi to continue.

"After the airborne troops are dispatched, the ground forces will enter the DPRK within 12 to 24 hours." The secretary and staff officer changed to a new map, and Pei Chengyi said, "The ground troops entered the DPRK from Dandong, Changdian, Ji'an and Sanhe. The 611th Army entered Korea from Dandong, and its primary task was to incorporate the North Korean army in North Pyongan Province, and at the same time advance in the direction of Anju and Jiechuan, striving to join the 163rd Airborne Brigade as soon as possible; The 37th Army entered Korea from Changdian, in addition to assisting the 611th Army, its main task was to advance along the highway lines from Shuifeng to Manpu and Shuifeng to Yunshan, striving to reach Xichuan as soon as possible and blocking the road for the US Marines to break through to the west; The 54th Army entered Korea from Ji'an, and after reaching the Jiangjie, it advanced in the direction of Langlin Lake, because the US army was likely to reach the Jiangjie before that, so it was necessary to be prepared for a fierce battle; The 38th Army entered Korea from Sanhe, marched to Chungton as fast as possible, prevented the US troops from occupying Cheongjin, and if the US troops had already occupied Cheongjin, they had to fight back within 24 hours, and then advanced south along the coastal road and railway, striving to reach Hamhung as quickly as possible to support the 153rd Airborne Brigade; The 77th Army was stationed in Ji'an and served as a campaign reserve. The air assault brigades of the 15th, 16th, and 17th Airborne Armies assembled in the direction of Ji'an and Changdian respectively to provide low-altitude support for ground troops. ”

"Do you have any questions?" Xiang Linghui looked at several military commanders.

"What if you are attacked by the American fleet?" Major General Tang Yinglong, commander of the 38th Army, spoke first.

"The Air Force will suppress the US fleet, and if necessary, we will take the initiative to strike at US warships attacking our ground forces, but we will not rashly expand the scale of the war."

Tang Yinglong frowned slightly and didn't say anything more.

Whether or not to expand the operational rules is a strategic issue that only the leaders of the country have the right to make decisions, and these generals have no say at all.

"We don't have any other tasks other than to absorb the Korean army?" The commander of the 611th Army, Major General Cai Suikang, looked very dissatisfied.

"The incorporation of the DPRK army is related to the stability of our army's rear after entering the DPRK, and none of you here wants to be the commander of the public security police, right?" Xiang Linghui smiled and said, "Colonel Pei Chengyi made it very clear that in addition to being responsible for the integration of the North Korean army, the 611th Army should also attack south as soon as possible, support the 163rd Airborne Brigade, and open the gate for our army to enter Pyongyang. ”

Cai Suikang glanced at Pei Chengyi and didn't say anything more.

Xiang Linghui looked at Major General Dong Chengfang, commander of the 37th Army, and Lieutenant General Qu Maokang, commander of the 54th Army.

These two certainly don't have much opinion, because the 37th Army and the 54th Army were the absolute main forces of the first battle, and whether or not they could annihilate the US Marines depended on their performance.

"When will we be able to fight?" At only 32 years old, Ling Yunxiao, the youngest commander of the 77th Army among the major generals here, finally couldn't help it.

"Twenty-four hours at the earliest." Xiang Linghui smiled faintly and said, "It is not up to me to decide when the 77th Army will participate in the war, it is determined by the actual battle situation. If the 37th, 38th and 54th armies fight well, the 77th Army is likely to be assigned to more important tasks. ”

Hearing this, Ling Yunxiao's expression soothed a little.

Unlike other generals, Ling Yunxiao gave Xiang Linghui a lot of face, because he was a young general cultivated by Xiang Linghui himself.

Xiang Linghui shook his head with a smile and looked at Lieutenant General Lai Xinping, commander of the 15th Airborne Army, Major General Huai Zhigang, commander of the 16th Airborne Army, and Major General Ding Zhaozhong, commander of the 17th Airborne Army, who was only old and only older than Ling Yunxiao.

The 3 army commanders did not say anything, because the Airborne Forces were definitely the main force of the main forces.

"Do you have any questions?" Xiang Linghui asked again.

Several army commanders did not express their position, and the brigade commander sitting in the back naturally did not say anything.

"I won't say much about the importance of the first battle, and I won't say much about the difficulty of the battle.

Since the Korean War in the fifties of the last century, this is the first time that we have directly confronted the US military on the battlefield. Before leaving, the head of state talked to me, and he didn't say anything else, but told us not to disgrace the republic and the Chinese nation. Xiang Linghui paused slightly and said, "There are important tasks, everyone is a soldier, and from the day we put on the military uniform, we should know what the duties of a soldier are." Whether you are satisfied or not, I hope that you will be able to give full play to the fine traditions of the republicans on the battlefield and strictly carry out the combat orders. ”

Xiang Linghui moved the Führer out, and several generals who were a little grumbling didn't dare to think about it.

"During the combat operation, Colonel Pei Chengyi issued the combat order of the General Staff to you." Xiang Linghui knocked on the table and said, "If there are no other problems, the meeting will end here, and all units will immediately enter a combat state and immediately start combat operations after receiving the order." ”

Everyone saw that Pei Chengyi was not only a key cultivation object for Xiang Linghui, but also a key training object for the General Staff.

After the meeting, Xiang Linghui set off for Beijing.

Whether Pei Chengyi can be reused depends on whether he can "play" with the front-line command. (To be continued)
