At the end of December 1950, the howling cold wind and goose-feathered snowflakes turned both sides of the Imjin River into a white world of ice and snow.

However, this is just a beautiful fantasy in the hearts of people who like peace, and at this moment, the two sides of the river are full of murderous machines, and the troops from more than a dozen countries, and the seven or eight hundred thousand soldiers belonging to the immovable camp, do not know how many weapons of different calibers are confronting each other, just waiting for the moment of outbreak.

On the south bank, the United Nations Army has deployed five lines of defense in an area more than 60 kilometers deep, namely two fixed lines of reinforced concrete defense lines and three mobile defense lines with tanks and vehicles as vehicles, and more than 300,000 troops are waiting for the day.

Early in the morning, Matthew Ridgway, the newly appointed commander of the U.S. Eighth Army, made rounds around his territory with a few confidential and staff officers, his warm leather combat boots creaking in the snow.

The general, who had been in the flames of war for many years, was anxious, and he had to familiarize himself with every trench, every pillbox, every company under his command, for there were all signs that the Compantry on the opposite side was about to launch a major offensive.

In what Li Qiwei knew, the enemy he was facing ∮ was nothing more than a group of armed peasants, and what Chinese volunteer army, what Chinese regular army, was just a group of peasants who had fought guerrillas, and how strong could the peasant armed forces be? Can it withstand the powerful three-dimensional attack of the US military? But the undeniable reality is that it is the Chinese who will attack, and the US Army, which he commands, which was invincible in World War II, is organizing defense in fear. By the way, there are also the Koreans who are about to be scared out of their hearts.

Does the mighty U.S. military still need defense? This is very much out of line with Ridgway's habits. It is also not in line with the habits of the American **, in the eyes of him, the deputy chief of staff of the US Army. There is no other country whose military has allowed the U.S. military to be so wolf-like.

After two major battles with the Chinese (one battle, two battles), his old principal MacArthur talked about the Chinese and the squadron with a deep sense of fear, which was expressed in the form of hysterical yelling when meeting him, the arm that was constantly shaking in front of his eyes, and the corncob pipe that never left him.

Is the old headmaster old or confused? What did you mention to bring Taiwan's Kuomintang troops into the war? And to use an atomic bomb against Chinese mainland?

This is simply an unimaginable and incomprehensible construction, not only the allies will not agree, but the president will not agree, according to reliable intelligence analysis, stimulated by the dropping of atomic bombs by the US military on Japan, the Soviet Union has increased the development of atomic weapons. Terrible Soviets, they have mastered the entire process of making the atomic bomb.

The atomic bomb -- the devil in the box -- is not the only country in the United States.

The use of atomic bombs against Chinese mainland? That will trigger a new round of world war, just a few years after the end of the Second World War, all the people of the world are recuperating, no one will want to be in the rain of bullets again, the old principal MacArthur's mention yì is a bit like General Marshall who worked in China in the early years, and later the joke-loving Chinese called all the plans that could not succeed the Marshall Plan, the damned Marshall Plan.

Ridgway's mention of MacArthur could only be a quiet smile. Those who know him well know that this is just a professional smile that Matthew often puts on his face, a form of expression of his good orthodox education rather than agreeing with the other party's point of view.

When will the Chinese attack? Isn't the five powerful lines of defense still able to stop the footsteps of the squadron? The words of General Collins, an old classmate and chief of staff of the Army, often lingered in Ridgway's ears: "Matthew, we need a victory so badly." Even if it was a small victory, this is my opinion and that of the president. ”

Ridgie was slightly clear. The day of the presidential election is not far off, the United States -- and the American ** team. All need a victory on the battlefield in the Far East, but. Will he be able to achieve it?

Li Yong, who had left the military headquarters of the 39th Army, returned to the division command post with the detachment and Wang Yang, the commander of the 116th Division, and in the division headquarters of the 116th Division, Wang Yang, the division commander, introduced Li Yong to a person, deputy division commander Zhang Feng, because according to the pre-war plan of the 116th Division, before the battle, Deputy Division Commander Zhang Feng had to go down to the 346th Regiment to give specific command.

Li Yong understood the practice of the 116th Division very well, because the position of the 346th Regiment was too important, and if this sharp knife could not be inserted, the 116th Division would not be able to break through the Imjin River.

Time waits for no one, Li Yong briefly made an introduction to the deputy division commander Zhang Feng, and then hurried to the 346th Regiment at the forefront of the supervision office, because the time for the attack to launch was approaching.

The launching time of the three campaigns was specifically set at the end of December, that is, December 31, 1950, which was the calendar of the solar calendar, and its practical solar calendar to calculate the days was not the habit of the Chinese, nor was it the habit of the squadron, and the Chinese were accustomed to using the lunar calendar, but a famous sentence of Deputy Commander Han Xianchu, the former commander-in-chief of the Chinese People's Volunteers, changed this qiē.

Why use the days of the Gregorian calendar? Deputy Commander Han, who has been in the middle of his life, explained: "Damn American imperialism is not a good thing, but God should not be a bad person, so let's choose to give imperialism a big gift on the New Year!" ”

Li Yong took all the personnel and Zhang Feng, deputy commander of the 116th Division, to the command post of the 346th Regiment, and at this moment the 346th Regiment was holding a meeting of cadres above the company level of the whole regiment, and this was already the last preparatory meeting before the war.

This is a large cave-type shelter, only a few hundred meters away from the forefront of the Imjin River, the top of the shelter is supported by several layers of intersecting logs, covered with a thick layer of permafrost, because of the weather, on top of the soil layer is more than half a foot thick snow, so that if you don't know what is going on in the sky, even if you stand nearby, you can't see any clues.

Such a design is not only concealed, but also can defend against direct bombardment by heavy artillery, and is the experience honed by the people's army in confronting a strong enemy for decades.

The command post with dozens of men and horses was in full swing, and the company commanders, instructors, battalion commanders, and instructors of the 346th Regiment were all scrambling to hand over the battle letter to the regiment commander Wu Baoguang.

All the nearby tunnels and attack the www.biquge.info of the Attack Hair Pen Pavilion were connected by a variety of traffic trenches, Li Yong and the squad of more than 200 people followed up the maze as soon as they entered the underground tunnels, if it wasn't for someone to lead the way, let alone the command post of the 346th Regiment, they couldn't even find the north at all.

Li Yong secretly admired in his heart as he walked, the civil work of the Volunteer Army had reached the point of perfection, and hundreds of thousands of cats were like nothing under the noses of the enemy, which was too amazing.

With such a large amount of work, hundreds of thousands of troops, and several days of hard work, the United Nations forces on the other side of the strait could not detect it, and this kind of tactics is what the squadron can do, not to mention what kind of battle can be fought, and this pre-war concealed ability alone should enter the annals of history.

The guards of the 346th Regiment rushed into the regimental command post in a few quick steps and reported to Regiment Commander Wu Baoguang: "Report to the regiment commander, Deputy Division Commander Zhang is here. ”

Deputy Division Commander Zhang Feng took Li Yong and a few people into the large concealed department of the 346th Regiment, and saw dozens of men and horses submitting a petition to the regiment commander, and the scene was both warm and violent.

The deputy division commander came, and under the leadership of Commander Wu Baoguang, everyone applauded and welcomed, but unlike usual, Deputy Division Commander Zhang did not make an impassioned speech, but turned his body to the side, let a person stand in front of everyone, and introduced that this was the superior head from the headquarters.

The cadres of the 346th Regiment who came to the meeting were all confused, and Deputy Division Commander Zhang should be the head of the higher level, why did the head of the headquarters come out again, and the head of the headquarters should not be like this when he came to a regiment-level command post? Besides, the person introduced by Deputy Division Commander Zhang is too young, is there such a young chief.

It's still the fault of age, no matter how you look at it, Li Yong is too young, but no matter what, he was introduced by the deputy division commander, so it must be.

There were a total of four people who came to the command post of the 346th Regiment with Li Yong, and in addition to Deputy Minister Li, there were also several commanders of the detachment, namely company commander Li Yuming, instructor Li Jia, and deputy company commander He Cuihua.

Li Yuming and a few others also entered such a pit for the first time, and they were a little curious, but the company commander Li Yuming and the instructor Li Jia could still calm down, and the deputy company commander He Cuihua was not good, this girl was very excited, and she was touching around with her hands while walking, and she was looking for people to inquire around, but the soldiers she met along the way all looked at these people with strange faces, and none of them answered He Cuihua's question, so that He Cuihua, the deputy company commander who was calling for wind and rain in the independent brigade, was very depressed, and the careful Li Jia had to quietly pull He Cuihua, Remind her in a whisper, a few of us wear the enemy's military uniforms, and it's strange that the soldiers love to take care of you.

These people, like Li Yong, are wearing the same costumes as the Han ** team, and the strange thing is that there are two women among them, how can this not make the people of the 346th Regiment feel very weird.

There are women in the units of the Volunteer Army, but they are all in the health and communication systems, and I have not heard of women in the front-line combat units, and everyone thinks it is strange when they see this.

Deputy Division Commander Zhang's introduction was also very simple: "Comrades, let me introduce to you, this is the head of our Volunteer Army Headquarters, and he is carrying out a special task, the specific content is confidential, and he will act with our regiment after the attack is launched, everyone is welcome."
