Volume 7 The Smoke of the Peninsula Chapter 21 Idealization

Li Cunxun's report, Wang Yuanqing first called Xiang Linghui and went to the General Staff Headquarters with V.

"The message has been received." Xiang Linghui personally greeted the deputy head of state and the director of the military intelligence bureau, "The situation is similar to what we expected, the staff officer is analyzing the intelligence, and the deduction will start immediately." ”

"Ready so soon?"

"The plan has been formulated for a long time, and it only needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation."

Wang Yuanqing nodded and quickened his pace.

The person who presided over the exercise was Bae Seung-yi, and the deduction was based on the "South Korean Army's Operational Plan No. 1988" just obtained by the Military Intelligence Agency.

Li Cunxun did not introduce the detailed process of obtaining information, and there is no need to introduce it.

Before Yoo Jong-chun came to power, South Korea did not have the power to draw up battle plans alone, and all battle plans were drawn up by the US-ROK Coalition Command, and the US military was the dominant force. After the Dokdo War accelerated the pace of South Korea's acquisition of the ability to "act independently," and after forcing the United States to make concessions and make the ROK military the dominant force in the coalition, the ROK military strengthened its independent combat capability while on the other hand began to formulate operational plans that did not require the assistance of the US military.

The problem is that South Korea has relied on the United States for decades, and it will be difficult for it to get rid of American influence in a few years.

The "ROK Army's Operational Plan No. 1988" thoroughly embodies this "characteristic," and it is the US military's operational thinking from beginning to end, and it seems that the ROK army has acquired the combat capability of the US military overnight.

The ROK army plans to seize air supremacy within 12~hours in the early days of the war.

"It's not a very difficult task." In order to take care of Wang Yuanqing. Pei Chengyi tried to use simple and clear words as much as possible. I didn't use too much jargon. "The South Korean Air Force will first destroy the North Korean ground strategic command system, communication command contacts and long-range air defense warning radar. This was followed by a full-scale bombardment of North Korean air bases, air defense positions and transportation hubs. If a surprise attack is launched without any preparation in North Korea. It takes only eight hours to complete the first phase of combat operations. ”

Wang Yuanqing seemed a little unconvinced. "Does South Korea have such power?" ”

"Strength is not an issue. The South Korean Air Force has fifteen hundred combat aircraft. Of these, 780 are fourth-generation fighters purchased from the United States or produced on their own. Pei Chengyi paused slightly. Said. "There are only two factors that affect the combat capability of the ROK Air Force. The first is the ability to command and coordinate. The second is the ability to make combat sorties. It relied on six E-111 and twelve E-2 AWACS aircraft imported from the United States. As long as the South Korean army has the ability to organize a large-scale air offensive operation. Command and coordination capabilities won't be much of a problem. In total, South Korea has more than 20 air bases and more than 50 field airfields. Capable of supporting four hundred combat aircraft to perform combat missions at the same time. The ability to make combat sorties is also not a big problem. ”

"The North Korean Air Force won't be vulnerable, right?" With Wang Yuanqing over, Di Ye Zhisheng asked.

Pei Chengyi smiled and shook his head. "Although the DPRK has imported hundreds of advanced fighter jets from our country. With a large number of ground air defense systems. However, the question of the command of the North Korean military has not been resolved. Most critically. For decades. The DPRK army has always been deployed in accordance with the method of taking the initiative to attack the ground. If the South Korean army launches a surprise attack. It is difficult for the North Korean army to respond correctly in a short period of time. ”

"The right response?"

"The DPRK has an emergency combat plan, but the problem is that the DPRK army does not have the basis for modern warfare, and its thinking is very backward." Bae Seung-yi sighed secretly and said, "After the outbreak of war, it is very likely that the fanatical North Korean army will launch a counterattack when the situation is unclear. ”

"That's for sure, and it's what Yoo wants to see."

After Wang Yuanqing finished speaking, Xiang Linghui glanced at Pei Chengyi and signaled to introduce the situation behind.

"After seizing air supremacy, the South Korean ** team will adopt the overall tactics of attacking on the left and defending on the right." Bae Seung-yi did not continue to dwell on minor issues, "The six South Korean Army divisions north of Seoul crossed the military separation zone as fast as they could and marched towards Kaesong. If the battle plan is successfully completed, the ROK army will capture Kaesong within 48 hours of the start of the battle, opening the gateway to Pyongyang. In order to defend the capital, the North Korean army will launch a counterattack in the direction of Cheorwon, trying to attack the right flank of the South Korean army and force the South Korean army to abandon the northward movement. To this end, the ROK army deployed three divisions near Cheorwon, plus the US troops stationed in Chuncheon, and the Korean counterattack would suffer a crushing defeat. In order to end the war as quickly as possible, the ROK army will attack Pyongyang with four to six divisions using the railway and highway from Kaesong to Pyongyang. If all goes well, the ROK army will capture Pyongyang within 144 hours of the start of the war. The situation will not be so ideal, and after the failure of the counterattack in the Cheorwon direction, the North Korean army will turn to the defensive and blow up the railway and highway bridge between the Recheng River and the Hwangju River before the South Korean army advances towards Pyongyang, preventing the South Korean army from moving north. At this point, the ROK army will adjust its combat operations and launch an offensive in the direction of Kimhwa, and the two armies will advance towards Pyongyang in a pincer offensive. ”

Wang Yuanqing and Ye Zhisheng didn't speak, this is a tactical issue, beyond the scope of the two of them.

"During this period, the South Korean army will decide whether to launch a large-scale landing operation in the area north of Pyongyang, depending on the situation."

"Landing operations?" Ye Zhisheng immediately frowned.

"On what basis?

Qing asked.

"Do we send troops?" Xiang Linghui replied for Pei Chengyi, "If we have signs of sending troops, it is very likely that South Korea will choose to land near Wonsan or Anju when war breaks out, and Anju is the most likely." At least three divisions were dispatched to capture Sunchon and cut off the northward escape route for Pyongyang's troops. The main purpose, of course, was to quickly capture the northern part of Korea and prevent our troops from moving south. ”

Wang Yuanqing nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Overall, the South Korean army's battle plan is very 'idealistic.'"

As soon as Pei Chengyi spoke, Wang Yuanqing asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Xiang Linghui smiled and asked Pei Chengyi to speak in detail.

"The first is the strength and logistical support capabilities invested by the South Korean army." Pei Chengyi knew that Wang Yuanqing was not good at "fooling", so he could only say in detail, "According to the most conservative estimate, the South Korean Air Force needs to dispatch at least seventy percent of its strength in order to provide sufficient air support for the ground offensive." That is, the South Korean Air Force is to put more than a thousand combat aircraft on the front line. According to the principle that each combat aircraft makes 2.5 sorties a day and consumes 5 tons of fuel and 2 tons of ammunition each time, 2,500 sorties per day consume 12,500 tons of fuel and 5,000 tons of ammunition. Within a week of the start of the war, nearly 90,000 tons of fuel and 35,000 tons of ammunition will be consumed. On the army side, the attrition will be even more staggering, with each division consuming an average of 5,500 tons of various types of combat materiel per day, and about 15,000 tonnes of all types of materiel at the beginning of the ground offensive. If South Korea commits 12 divisions, nearly 500,000 tons of war materiel will be consumed in seven days. Even without considering the landing operation, South Korea must prepare 650,000 tons of various types of war materials. Does South Korea have so many reserves? Even if there were, because in order to achieve the goal of a surprise attack, the ROK army would not transport and hoard war materials to the front line before the war, and could only rely on domestic transportation capacity to deliver materials to the frontline combat troops after the outbreak of war. Such a large-scale delivery of goods can be a headache for any country. ”

"The South Korean army still lacks sufficient logistics management and distribution capabilities, and the trouble will be even greater."

Glancing at Xiang Linghui, Wang Yuanqing nodded and motioned to continue.

"The second is the ability to work together." Pei Chengyi took a sip while Xiang Linghui was speaking, "Although the US-ROK coalition forces hold at least three large-scale military exercises every year, the ROK army has not fought a war for decades, and no matter how well it performs on the exercise ground, it cannot represent its performance on the battlefield." Before the North Korean army launches a counterattack and crosses the ceasefire line, the U.S. military will not necessarily immediately enter the battle, and the South Korean army will fight alone, and the command ability is the biggest obstacle. If there is a problem in the coordinated combat operations of the ROK army, the offensive will encounter huge trouble, and it will be difficult to successfully complete the combat mission. This is very clear in the battle plan, with several references to backup plans. Unfortunately, we do not know the details of the ROK army's backup plan. ”

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly and looked at Li Cunxun.

"The intelligence gathering is still ongoing, and it will take enough time." Li Cunxun replied very succinctly.

"The backup plan is still a secondary issue," Xiang Linghui said a little late, "We must figure out the specific time of launching the campaign as soon as possible before we can make corresponding arrangements." ”

Wang Yuanqing nodded and looked at Li Cunxun again.

"It's not clear yet." Li Cunxun smiled bitterly and said, "Judging from the information that has been obtained, the campaign will be launched in early December at the earliest, and late December at the latest. ”

"In other words, the South Korean army is about to enter the stage of preparation for the campaign."

Wang Yuanqing glanced at Pei Chengyi.

"In order to launch a surprise attack, the South Korean army must be well prepared. Although there will be no large-scale military mobilization and redeployment, mobilization and preparation orders will be issued to all participating units, the first batch of war materials will be delivered to the front line, and the pre-war intelligence collection and collation will be completed. These are all related to the effect that can be achieved by a surprise attack, and it is impossible for the South Korean military to be unaware of the importance of these efforts after decades of cooperation with the United States. ”

"That is, there are signs to be found."

Pei Chengyi nodded, indicating that this was exactly what he meant.

"War will not be avoided either way." Wang Yuanqing let out a sigh of relief and said, "I will report the situation to the FΓΌhrer as soon as possible, and the General Staff Headquarters must seize the time and draw up a combat plan according to different situations." After our basic policy has been decided, we will decide which package to adopt. ”

"We've already started to draw up a battle plan."

Wang Yuanqing nodded at Xiang Linghui and said to Li Cunxun: "The Military Intelligence Bureau must do a good job in supporting the work, and pay special attention to Japan's every move. ”

Li Cunxun nodded and didn't say much.

"That's all for today, with the new situation, I'll hold a combat meeting."

Seeing Wang Yuanqing away, Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi were relieved. It is clear that Wang Yuanqing is more concerned about military deployment than Zhao Rundong.

Damn it**
