Bai Shujie didn't make an opening statement, and when he saw the arrival of the personnel, he directly began to ask: "Xian Yu Tongwu, how is your Korean People's Liberation Army now, tell you about the specific situation." ”
It was the first time for Xian Yu Tongwu to participate in such a large-scale military meeting, and he felt a little unbearable. Although he is older than many people, he has the least qualifications, so he speaks very carefully:
"The Korean People's Liberation Army, after a year and a half of recruitment and training, now has initial combat effectiveness, that is, Xu Sanjiang's first division and Choi Mingzhe's second division, a total of more than 33,000 people; There are more than 35,000 female soldiers, presided over by the eldest sister Han, who is mainly responsible for the security and garrison tasks of each county. ”
"In addition, there are three supplementary divisions, with a total of more than 50,000 people, and they have just completed basic training such as military regulations and military discipline, queue regulations, pulling and marching, running, jumping, rolling and climbing. The guns were fired half a month ago, and they began to explain the maintenance and combat effectiveness of various equipment, and they had not yet conducted live-fire training, let alone tactical training. ”
"There are two divisions, it's okay! We are facing a treacherous environment, and the training of recruits cannot be relaxed, but must be further strengthened. Although you don't have to go into the front-line battle, you can still take on some work to stabilize the social order. Bai Shujie nodded slightly, and then said, "Big brother, how is your International Legion now?" ”
Zhang Xiang finally put away his dry tobacco pouch, and he didn't know what was going on, the little devil had a lot of cigarettes, and he just didn't like it. always pinned a dry tobacco pouch to his waist, Zhao Jinxi had to lose it to him several times.
"That's what it looks like." Zhang Xiang spoke slowly: "The military quality of the Jewish people is very good, but they have never fought a war. Now there are two divisions, a total of more than 50,000 people, including 13,000 of us. If we follow our standards, we will probably be able to take on the tasks of second-line defense. If you go through one or two bloody battles, you may be an iron army. ”
Bai Shujie nodded: "In other words, the troops that we can now undertake the second-line defense include more than 33,000 people in the Korean People's Liberation Army and more than 50,000 people in the International Legion." It's equivalent to having 80,000 reserves, that's it! ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, the world has recently been turned upside down, and sparks have been splashed everywhere. On the European side, the German mustache occupied Austria and Czechoslovakia in succession, and now it is in the limelight, and the whole world is not in sight, but it has nothing to do with us. ”
"Jiang didn't find a fighter plane in Xuzhou, and he didn't stop the little devil by digging the Yellow River embankment, so he lost Wuhan. Two months ago, in May, Changchang hastily launched a counteroffensive in Nanchang. The chain of command is even more chaotic, and the arrangement of troops is even more chaotic. As a result, not only did they not recover Nanchang, but they lost their troops and generals. ”
"Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to attack and killed the little devil's army hope Lieutenant General Abe Guixiu, which finally gave the Chinese a little face. The little devil stabilized the front line in Wuhan and began to expand his ambitions again. Unexpectedly, in the northwestern part of Manchuria, he fought with the Soviet Red Army. ”
"Now, the main force of the 1st Division of the Little Devils on the north bank of the Yalu River has made every effort to reinforce Nomenkan, and the pressure on our north has been temporarily eliminated. Now that the 19th Division in the northeast is alone, it is a good time for us to strike the knife. If we eat the 19th Division in this place, it will be beneficial to our future development. ”
"Therefore, I order: the 1st Division of the Korean Liberation Army Xu Sanjiang, on the basis of the existing defensive front, fully take over all the defensive positions of Liu Zhiliang of the 3rd Division of Feilong; Choe Myong-cheol's Second Division of the Korean People's Liberation Army (PLA) immediately took over all positions in Wei Chong, the Fourth Division of the Feilong Division, immediately after today's meeting. ”
"Zhang Xiang's International Legion will be drawn immediately after today's meeting, and rushed to the Yalu River to fully take over all the defensive positions of Chen Jie's headquarters of the Feilong Second Division, and at the same time defend the banks of the Yalu River, as the follow-up reserve of Chen Jie's Second Division and Wei Chong's Fourth Division."
"All the mobile air defense units under Gan Tong's command were deployed along the railways and coastlines immediately after the meeting. However, all 6 track and road armored vehicles were left behind for me to strengthen the 1st Division of Shi Liancheng as a railway assault force. ”
"Order: The First Fleet of the Navy Command will be launched immediately after today's meeting, and will arrive at Baeknyeong Island in the early morning tomorrow to closely monitor the line of Incheon and the line of Jeju Island to the south; The 1st Regiment of the Navy Special Combat Corps rushed to the Cangyunli Submarine Base in concealment immediately after today's meeting, joined the ghost fleet, and waited for the next order. ”
"Order: Air Force Command Jiufengshan Airport, two crews of heavy bombers and 6 bombers, each carrying 2 tons of 4 cloud burst bombs. Take off at 5 a.m. tomorrow and bomb the Japanese fortresses on the front line of Xianxing Port, Huangcaoling, Fenzhan Ridge, and Ji'an Iron Bridge. ”
"The 12 light bombers at Miaofengshan Airport will take off at 5 a.m. tomorrow, each carrying 250 kilograms of napalm, and when the heavy bombers return home, they will immediately carry out a second bombing of the front line of Hamxing Port, Huangcaoling, and Zhan Ling."
"Order: The Fourth Division of the Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force under Wei Chong's Division, at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, will launch an all-out attack from its existing positions to the east. The order was limited to advance to the front line of Xianxing Port, Huangcaoling, and Zhan Ling within two days. Occupy the ports of Hamhung and Hongyuan, and sweep away the remnants of the enemy in the territory. ”
"Order: The Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force will start from the second division of Chen Jie's department, at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, from Langlin Mountain in the south to Weiyuan on the Yalu River in the north, and the whole army will push eastward, seize the Ji'an Iron Bridge, and blow it up immediately. Within two days, it was necessary to cross the Changjin River and go to the Zhanjiang River, and then form a line with Wei Chong's 4th Division to occupy the Zhanling Mountains and cut off the offensive route of the 19th Division in the east. ”
"Order: The Miaoxiangshan Airport Attack Aircraft Squadron will take off at five o'clock tomorrow morning, and 24 BF108/H combat attack aircraft, each carrying two 250-kilogram napalms, will bomb Maoshan Port, Yuanshan Port, Hunyuanli, and Hudaoli in the east."
"The focus is on the Xindao Fort, the Tiger Island Fort, the Xinzhangli Fort, the Yuanpingli Fort, the Yingcheng Fort, and the South End Fort. In view of the small amount of ammunition carried by the fighter-attack planes, it is necessary to take advantage of the proximity of the airfields to carry out repeated four-round bombardments, completely destroy all the batteries as much as possible, and reduce the pressure on the ground troops. ”
"The biplane fighter at Jiangnan Airport will take off at the same time tomorrow. At the same time as the bombers returned, they carried out low-altitude strafing at the Japanese positions on the front line of Wonsan Port, Wencheon, Yuping, Plateau, and Yongxing. Do not allow the enemy to organize an anti-aircraft defense, and buy time for the attack aircraft to return to hang bombs. ”
"After the attack planes and bombers at the three airfields completed the two strikes, they returned to the airfields to fill up their fuel and bombs and stand by and were ready to take off into the air at any time. This is the first time that you have launched an offensive with the ground forces, and I hope that you will bring into play the tactical movements of the usual exercises. ”
"Order: The 1st Division of the Seo Sanjiang Division of the Korean People's Liberation Army will launch an all-out attack on the Japanese troops on the front line of Wonsan Port, Wencheon, Yuping, Gaoyuan, and Yongxing at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.

At least one regiment was drawn to establish a position on the line of Shakwangsa Temple southwest of Maosan Port and Wonsan Port to prevent the Japanese 20th Division from counterattacking. ”
"The Second Division of the DPRK People's Liberation Army Choe Myung-cheol was immediately mobilized after the meeting. Using railway transportation, he rushed to the front line of Pingshan and Khan Puli tomorrow night, and took over the defensive position of the first line of Tushan, and at the same time served as the follow-up reserve of Shi Liancheng's first division and Liu Zhiliang's third division. ”
"Order: The Feilong Artillery Division will transfer a regiment to cooperate with the First Division of the Korean People's Liberation Army to launch an attack at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and then deploy on the front line of Wonsan Port and Maosan Port to build a solid artillery position and provide artillery reinforcements for the defensive troops on the front line of Shakwangsa Temple."
"Order: 124 carrier-based aircraft of the Navy's First Fleet will take off in four batches at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning and take turns bombing Kaesong, Seoul, Uijeong, and Incheon Harbor to open an offensive channel for the ground forces."

The First Fleet dispatched 1 battleship and 1 cruiser to escort the escort and provide artillery support for the landing force, and after occupying the port of Incheon, it did not have to stop, but went straight to Seoul and occupied it. ”
"Order: Except for the Shenyang No. 918 battle cruiser, the other sailors and aviation of the Third Fleet of the Navy will set off from the base on July 28 and rush to the battle ridge on July 31. Then it marched east with the attacking force. Prepare to rush to the Bay of Possiette and receive 2 aircraft carriers, 2 battleships belonging to us. ”
"Order: The female division of the Korean People's Liberation Army calls on all the militias of all counties to enter a combat state, closely monitor all directions, prevent the Japanese army from breaking out and fighting the trapped beasts, and take a suicidal approach to attack our hinterland.
