Chapter 781: A Crisis
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The Chinese people are great, and the Chinese army is also great; in the early days of the war, in order to discuss how to rescue the DPRK, the newly established New China and the big brother of the socialist camp, the Soviet Union, studied the results that China sent out the 6th Army, the Soviet Union sent the Air Force, and China and the Soviet Union set up a joint command to unify the command of the operation, but just when the Chinese People's Volunteers were ready to go abroad to fight, the big brother changed his mind, saying that they were not ready and the Air Force could not be dispatched.
The Soviets had too many concerns, they were afraid of another world war with the United States because of the expansion of the Korean War, a few years after the end of the Great Patriotic War, Wen Xin's days had worn down people's fighting spirit, the wounds on their bodies had not yet healed, their industrial base had not yet recovered to its heyday, and the more than 20 million casualties had caused the proportion of young men to fall so much that after World War II, some young girls could only find old disabled soldiers as husbands, and so on.
There are many reasons, too many concerns made the Soviet Union give up the plan of sending the air force to assist the volunteers in the early days of the war, in fact, after World War II, every country suffered great losses, let's say the British who came to Korea to fight behind the American buttocks, after World War II, British young men suffered heavy casualties, and only one out of ten girls in the country could find a husband to marry, and the rest could only live alone, but in this way, the British also sent several brigades of troops to Korea to participate in the war.
Britain, who had made great efforts to express their posture by following closely behind the ass of the Americans, still cobbled together a few brigades to come to Korea to muddy the waters when the domestic masses were extremely war-weary, but. The strength of these brigades is nothing to China, in the words of the Chinese soldiers, since they want to die. Let's fulfill their wish.
Big Brother's opinion puts too much pressure on the squadron, and the soldiers of New China are not fools, because in the War of Resistance Against Japan, their deputy chief of general staff died under the air raid of the aircraft, they have tasted the bitterness from the sky, and they are also very aware of the differences between the Chinese and American armies in weapons and equipment, and they know what it means to rely solely on the 6th Army to fight without air supremacy.
However, there is no way. The Soviet Union is far away, and it has little to do with them whether North Korea loses it or not, but not China. North Korea is right on China's doorstep, a neighbor that can be seen when you go out, and there is an old Chinese saying that "distant relatives are better than close neighbors." And one more sentence is. "Cold lips and teeth" is an integral part of China's ancient national culture and the code of conduct pursued by the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and it is not the tradition of our Chinese to see our neighbors being harmed by the enemy and not helping them.
Mr. Peng, who entered the country from Sinuiju, passed through several contact points under the leadership of North Korean personnel, and finally saw the young North Korean commander Kim Il Sung in a hidden mine.
Kim Il Sung spent some time in China, joined the Chinese anti-Japanese army, and some sources say that he once served as a company commander in the People's Liberation Army. But there's no way to verify that.
Later it turned out that Kim Il Sung joined the Korean detachment in the Soviet Red Army. After the end of the war, he was appointed by the Soviet government to return to his homeland and took a leadership position.
In order to entertain the commander of the Chinese People's Volunteers, the DPRK side specially prepared a house, and the walls around the house were covered with white cloths, so that this temporary guest house looked very clean, and the well-dressed female soldiers of the People's Army also served a stewed chicken and a bottle of wine.
But obviously, these are not what Mr. Peng wants, the boss of Rong Ma's life is calm on the surface but very anxious in his heart at this time, he is eager to know how much strength the Korean People's Army still has, what it is doing, what position the joint ** has reached, what is the enemy's weaponry and combat effectiveness, all the qiē is still unknown, and how can the wine be drunk.
After the introduction of General Kim and the representatives of the DPRK side, Mr. Peng learned that the Korean People's Army currently has four infantry divisions, an armored brigade and a tank regiment, as well as some militia forces.
According to Mr. Peng's understanding, it is not easy to have so many forces left after the defeat, and these troops can also play a certain role on the small Korean Peninsula, so Mr. Peng asked the North Korean side to engage the enemy as much as possible before the large army of volunteers is assembled, delay the enemy's attack, and buy time for the volunteers.
Mr. Peng's request is very realistic, because the squadron marches on two legs, far less fast than the mechanized troops of the United League, although it has already entered North Korea, but it has only just crossed the border, so the North Korean side must take necessary actions to hinder the opponent before engaging the enemy.
China's demands are not unreasonable, but the DPRK personnel have a difficult face, and they have not been able to say anything accurately, and they have not talked about the topic.
The other party's attitude made Mr. Peng very annoyed, you know, Mr. Peng has experienced thousands of battles (the word "experienced in a hundred battles" cannot describe Mr. Peng), he governs the army rigorously, and his requirements for his subordinates are very strict, and few people dare to be so perfunctory in military affairs.
Under questioning, the North Korean side finally said its current real situation, the so-called four infantry divisions and an armored brigade and tank regiments are established, but most of them are untrained recruits, and the equipment is also very poor, for example, the armored brigade, there is not a single armored vehicle, and the tank regiment only has a few dilapidated T34s, which are difficult to start, let alone fight, and because of poor communication and fighting separately, even the current North Korean command has no way to contact them, If there is still a high command in North Korea now, what is even more fatal is that after the defeat of Yinchuan and Pusan, the morale of the People's Army is low, the officers and soldiers have lost their fighting spirit, and the troops that can still be contacted are desperately retreating to the Sino-Korean border, and at this time let them return to fight against the powerful joint **??? It's basically a joke.
Mr. Peng understood that his mother's People's Army had been broken up, and he couldn't organize any effective defense at all, and what divisions and what armored brigades were all nonsense, and it seemed that there was no hope for them to drag the enemy down.
Anxious, really anxious, Mr. Peng didn't expect the battle situation to be strict at the beginning, he only brought a car and a few accompanying guards when he entered the country, because he was in a hurry to contact the North Korean side, he had already left a long distance with the large army, and the radio car that had been following him was also separated because of the good road, and the current Mr. Peng did not have a soldier in his hands.
This is too bad, the enemy situation is unknown, the friendship is unknown, my feelings are not clear, Mr. Peng has never fought such a battle.
While anxiously waiting, the radio car arrived the next day, and Mr. Peng immediately ordered the communications personnel to contact the fastest troops to find out where to arrive.
The radio waves were ticking and ticking, and with a high-power radio station, we could basically grasp the approximate location of the troops, and a confidential person reported to Mr. Peng and got in touch with our troops, and the closest unit to Mr. Peng and General Jin was the 118th Division of the 40th Army.
The 118th Division, isn't it the same unit that met on the edge of the Yalu River Bridge!! Mr. Peng slapped his thigh hard, worthy of being a whirlwind column, worthy of being a trump card, worthy of being the main division, it is powerful.
The anxious boss crossed the Zhisi and the military headquarters of the 40th Army, and directly reported to the 118th Division on the radio: "Maneuver forward with the fastest degree, and you must seize the key position in front of the enemy. ”
The 40th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, later known as the 40th Group Army of the People's Liberation Army, was one of the main forces in the Northeast Field Army that was most capable of fighting.
At this time, the 118th Division was marching in full urgency, and the boss's order showed that the battle situation was already very critical, and the 118th Division, which was fully staffed, had more than 13,000 people, up to the division commander and political commissar, and down to every soldier who had already felt the urgency of the battle situation, and they knew that the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army would not directly report to them a division-level unit unless it was absolutely necessary.
Walking, walking non-stop, guns and ammunition, backpacks, water bottles and dry food bags, as well as a first-aid kit for each person, because the logistics support system is not good, so every soldier must bring as much ammunition and dry food as possible, and the weight of individual soldiers has reached dozens of kilograms.
With dozens of kilograms of load, rugged roads, and orders from higher authorities in a hurry, the 118th Division marched with an astonishing degree.
Ten kilometers after ten kilometers, there is no end in sight to the continuous road, the sweat has already penetrated the military uniform, and fatigue hits one after another, is it bitter? It was very hard, but the soldiers thought that it was nothing, because this was how they had fought with the Japanese and the Kuomintang army at home, and it was their spirit of not being afraid of hardship and death that made all the opponents they met to pieces.
The People's Liberation Army, which started with guerrilla warfare, is very accustomed to running away, and although it is hard, it also thinks that there is nothing remarkable, and what is difficult is that
On the march on the road were not only the 118th Division, which was in a hurry, but also a large number of ordinary Korean people who fled for their lives and defeated KPA soldiers.
The surging flow of people squeezed the already not spacious road into a mess, and the soldiers of the 118th Division were very annoyed, especially the 354th Regiment, the avant-garde 354 Regiment, and the soldiers were so anxious that they almost wanted to move.
What does the avant-garde do? It's the tip of the knife, they want to open the way for the whole division, and now it's good, but the way forward is blocked by a group of ordinary people and defeated deserters. (To be continued......)
