Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

"Report, there is a match!"

Wang Yongjun walked to the No. 2 operating platform, and together with the operator, he looked at the preview on the segment code screen.

On November 11, because the entire regiment of the U.S. Cavalry Division was wiped out, the U.S. military started an emergency procedure to replace the key.The key lasted only 4 hours and 13 minutes before being cracked by 20 centers again.

Chapter 78, MacArthur is crazy

The Prime Minister is worried that some people in the United States are also staring at our newspapers for analysis. In fact, this is a bit too much.The Intelligence Department of the Far East Command did make a report based on the domestic intelligence it had collected, but after the report arrived in Washington, the controversy aroused had nothing to do with the report itself. Arguing.I have always felt that the military actions of the United States are more radical. When I saw this report, I took "the Chinese army (only) 3 to 4 people" as the most important argument.Those who think that the U.S. military should not be too aggressive, no matter what kind of intelligence they see, they think that U.S. military operations should be cautious and cautious.

While Washington was quarreling, Walker had initially completed the readjustment of deployment on November 11.The 4st US Cavalry Division, which had lost a whole regiment, was withdrawn by him to the south bank of the Qingchuan River.The 24th Meibu Division and the 25th Meibu Division stepped up and camped on the south bank of the Qingchuan River.Walker also asked the 25th Division of Meibu to build fortifications on the north bank of the Qingchuan River and established a bridgehead.When attacking in this way, the 8th Army can quickly cross the river and march towards the border between China and North Korea. When defending, this bridgehead can receive close support from Qingchuan Jiangnan troops.

Walker plans to wait for the 2nd American Division and the 27th British Brigade to be in place, then switch from defense to offense and slowly move forward.Four U.S. divisions (among which the U.S. cavalry division lacks a regiment) plus a British brigade, flanked by three South Korean divisions and a Turkish brigade, should be no problem.

Walker's combat deployment is considered conservative among US military generals, and MacArthur is now in a state of madness.

"I suggest that the Far East Air Force use all its air forces, including 90 B-29 bombers, to destroy all international bridges on the Yalu River first, cut off any passage for the Chinese into North Korea, and then carry out air strikes on North Korea for two weeks until the until the Chinese and North Korean forces in the area are completely weakened. Then, the 8th Army advances to the Sino-North Korean border.”

Bradley (Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff and NATO chairman, the official is older than MacArthur) came back from hunting. When he saw this telegram in his office, he was so angry that his nose was smoking. He immediately called back, asking him to cancel the bombing of the Yalu River Bridge and Get a new assessment of the current situation now.

As a person who dared not even be a bird to President Truman, MacArthur saw Bradley's telegram, of course he went back.

"I have definite information that troops and supplies of the brigade are being continuously transported from Manchuria to North Korea by using all the bridges on the Yalu River. This kind of operation not only puts the Eighth Army under my command at risk, but may also be harmful to us in the The line of defense established by the Ching Chuan River is a threat. Every hour of delay in action will cost the precious blood of a large number of Americans and other members of the United Nations. The only way to stop the threat of the enemy is to destroy these bridges. To ensure that these bridges Unrecoverable, I will also bomb the area of ​​about 8 kilometers around the bridge at the same time, until the road extending from the bridge and nearby buildings are also completely destroyed. ... The order of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will lead to serious consequences unless the president personally and Know the current situation in North Korea directly, otherwise I will not take responsibility for it!"

MacArthur's telegram was not only sent to Bradley, but also @Truman.Then the high-level U.S. fried the pot.After some debate, Truman finally had to agree to MacArthur's plan.

"Approve the plan to bomb the Yalu River Bridge. American aircraft can enter the airspace over the Chinese land, but the penetration distance should not exceed 6-8 miles."

Dayu Cave, Zhisi.

It was November 11th that MacArthur and Bradley had finished their quarrel.MacArthur, who won the quarrel, immediately issued an operational outline to the Eighth Army.After receiving the outline, Walker issued instructions to adjust the combat plan to several divisions and brigades of the United Nations Army on the front line.After receiving Walker's battle plan adjustment plan, Shiji and the General Staff Intelligence Center immediately held their own battle and support meetings.

"The Americans are now temporarily shrinking, and he has no good intentions," Mr. Peng said. "The plan of the Americans is to shrink to the south of the Qingchuan River first, readjust the troops, and wait for his follow-up troops to come up. Now we have discovered that the U.S. troops The 24th and 25th divisions have already arrived at Jiangnan in Qingchuan. Another division, the 2nd division of Meibu, is coming soon. There is also the [-]st division of Meiqi who is missing an arm. When he is fully adjusted, he will cross the river together. The four divisions Push forward together."

Chief of Staff Xie Fang and North Korean Deputy Commander Park Yiyu did not know the source of President Peng's intelligence.However, a considerable part of the information Mr. Peng said just now has been corroborated by the frontline reconnaissance reports, such as the information that the 24th and 25th Meibu divisions went north.Mr. Peng's speculation on the US military's movements is also in line with the US military principles.

"The U.S. military now has a bridgehead north of the Qingchuan River. If this bridgehead is returned, it will make it easier for the U.S. military to advance across the Qingchuan River," Park Il-woo said.

Park Il Woo's suggestion was obviously at odds with the ideas of the other commanders of Zhisi.

"Strike the bridgehead? No, no. On the contrary, I want to retreat a little more," Mr. Peng pointed to the map. "The main force retreats temporarily. After the US troops cross the river and they distance themselves from the South Korean army, we will first Flanking through, looking for any gaps where they're advancing."

"As it happens, the ammunition of the front-line troops has not been fully replenished. The 39th Army is still complaining about the lack of ammunition today." Xie Fang said, "The main force retreats a certain distance, and the distance to the logistics center is closer, so it is easier to replenish food and ammunition."

Beijing.

"Although the telegram sent by MacArthur to the Air Force in Japan was not intercepted, the telegram sent by Walker to the front-line U.S. military can roughly outline the next action plan of the U.S. military," Xu Shuai said, "MacArthur wants to destroy all the bridges on the Yalu River, In order to ensure that these bridges cannot be repaired in a short period of time, the roads connecting the bridges may also be bombed. After all the bridges are blown up, the air force of the United Nations Army will turn to bombing northern North Korea. When they confirm that the army in northern North Korea has been severely damaged by the bombing, The ground troops will move forward. It is a pity that it is already early November and the Yalu River is about to freeze. What is going on in MacArthur's mind?"

The chairman, commander-in-chief, and prime minister all chuckled. "This five-star general in the United States has lived a good life since he was a child. He probably didn't think that he could walk a car with a straw mat on the ice."

Liu Yelou: "Our Air Force pilots are still training. The Soviet Air Force has taken on the mission of air defense on our side of the China-North Korea border. Two days ago, the Soviet Air Force quietly crossed the border and flew over North Korea to drive away US aircraft. But crossing the border may not become the norm for the Soviet Air Force. The Soviet Union must not allow its pilots to be captured. If the U.S. military comes prepared and uses a large number of fighter jets to cover the bombers to forcibly bomb the Yalu River Bridge, the Soviet Air Force may not be able to defend it. After all, the United Nations Army now has nearly a thousand aircraft in its hands. Therefore, the Yalu River Bridge must be prepared for air defense, and the nearby residential areas may need to be evacuated.”

"Evacuation is necessary." The commander-in-chief sighed. There is no air superiority in a war with the United States, and it is enough to be aggrieved now. "Not only the bridges of the Yalu River and the villages on our side near the border, but also the villages on the North Korean side. It is best for the volunteers to mobilize the North Korean people inside to evacuate."

"In addition to preventing strategic bombing by the U.S. military, adjustments should also be made to the next stage of front-line combat deployment," Xu Shuai said.

In the telegram the day before, Mr. Peng said that the troops had been fighting for 10 consecutive days, and many troops were already very tired.It is already early winter, and the troops camped in the wild for a long time. Some troops ate fried noodles for 10 days in a row, and the number of sick people began to increase.Mr. Peng's suggestion was to organize the troops to take a covert rest in the mountains of northern North Korea, sum up the experience of the first battle, and restore their physical strength. On the other hand, improve the traffic conditions and store grain and ammunition.However, at this very moment, Shiji should be holding a combat discussion meeting.

"This is very important." The chairman pointed to Tokugawa.

Xu Shuai looked at the map.Tokugawa is first and foremost a portal that increases the security of our controlled areas.Secondly, Tokugawa is a bridgehead. If it is stuck here, the three South Korean divisions placed by the US military on the flank will immediately be unable to support each other.

Moreover, if our army appears in Tokugawa, it means that the protection of the US military's flanks will be broken. Starting from Tokugawa, interspersed with Sansuo-ri and Longyuan-ri and stuck at these two points, then a large pile of troops on the Qingchuan River U.S. forces would be divided and isolated.

This is four American divisions plus one British brigade!

"Yes. When the battle is at an appropriate time, when the enemy is being lured to go deep north, our army in front of Tokugawa will quickly destroy or defeat the South Korean 7th Division, occupy Tokugawa and continue to move forward, so that It can make the entire United Nations Army passive on the western front." Xu Shuai looked at the map for a while, and understood what the chairman was pointing at.

"Also, I'm worried about the eastern front." The chairman pointed to the large area on the eastern front, "If there are enemy troops going north from the port in the east, it will be extremely detrimental to the overall situation. They can fight all the way north to here, Ji'an."

Xu Shuai: "If the United Nations army arrives on the other side of Ji'an, then our eastern border crossing the border between China and North Korea will be sealed off. It would be uncomfortable for the volunteers to block one of the two entrances they entered North Korea. However, How much troops will the U.S. military or the United Nations troops invest on the Eastern Front?"

"As of November 11th, according to the radio detection and the frontline reconnaissance of the 4nd Army, the U.S. troops that appeared on the eastern front included the 42th U.S. Army Division, and there were also two South Korean Divisions there." Li Kenong stood up and reported.

"Is there only one US division?" the chairman asked Li Kernong, expressing doubts.

"One US division and two South Korean divisions are not enough to rush from Xingnan Port to the border of China and North Korea in one breath. The battle line is too long, and there are too many points to be guarded by troops in the middle. These three divisions are almost as good as defending their hometown in Xingnan Port. One division is needed, and each of the several key points along the way needs to be placed in a regiment." Xu Shuai said.

How many troops did the U.S. Army have on the Eastern Front?The five people in the meeting room of the intelligence center were speechless for a moment.

"Why didn't Tang Hua come today?" the Prime Minister asked.

……

Beijing, Nanyuan Airport.

Lu Xiaopeng got off the plane and landed five times to refuel on the way from Moscow to Beijing. He was so exhausted.Before leaving the airport runway, Lao Lu saw Tang Hua waiting there.

"Minister Tang, why did you come to the airport in person?" Lao Lu came to shake hands with Tang Hua.

"I thought you would visit and study in Mikoyan for a year and a half, but I didn't expect you to come back now," Tang Hua said, "But you came back just in time. I have a technical problem here, and I plan to pull you into the development team to solve it together. .”

"Oh! Let me guess, it's about anti-aircraft missiles?"

"Yes. A few days ago, our test missiles hit low-altitude floating balloons on the shooting range. They all blew up the balloons, but I watched it at the scene and watched the film when I came back. I found that most of the missiles hit the upper left, so I thought Recheck the fire control computer and algorithm program."

"Our anti-aircraft missiles have entered the stage of shooting low-altitude balloons? Have they blown up the balloons?"

"Yes. But I feel that it can be improved."

"...Before I left, you told me that the low-altitude balloon was aimed at a target 300 meters above the ground. This test is it? You said just now that it exploded?" Excited.

"...Okay, okay, that's it, but not today. You go home and rest first, and come to the computer office tomorrow. It's useless to go now, there is no one to take care of food. You see, the comrades of the general staff are waiting for me there Well, I have something to do myself today, so let's not look at the missiles right away."

……

General Staff Information Center.

"Chairman, Prime Minister, Commander-in-Chief,...Xu Shuai." After entering, Tang Hua greeted him first.

"The United Nations army is temporarily shrinking, and now both sides are preparing for the next stage of combat deployment." Xu Shuai marked things on the side of the map while thinking about the situation by himself. Seeing Tang Hua come in, first explain to him where the meeting is now, the chairman and Where did the participants find their doubts.

"Eastern Front?" Tang Hua looked at the map. This was the deployment dynamics of the two sides before the start of the second battle.There are a lot of lines on the west line and one line on the east line. "These are the only divisions that the U.S. military has invested in North Korea. They have not yet reached the front line. Now there is the third division of the US Army. This division should not move. This is their reserve team. In addition, the British 29th Brigade and the 187th Airborne Regiment are also reserve team."

"If there is only one U.S. division on the Eastern Front, he will not have enough troops to launch an offensive campaign. But the commander of the U.S. Army is not someone who knows how to fight. He must want to do things on the Eastern Front. Then," now Tang Hua finally sees that the Eastern Front has already The marked U.S. military designation, "The unit that the U.S. military can now deploy to the Eastern Front, and which is likely not intercepted by our military radio interception system, is the [-]st Division of the U.S. Marine Corps."

Tang Hua took back the icon of the First Marine Division that had been transported from Incheon Port, and moved it from the west coast of the Korean Peninsula to the east coast, and then moved it outside Xingnan Port.

"As for why the telegram was not intercepted by our radio interception system, I think there are two reasons. First, the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Army are not the same service, they each use independent radio stations and frequency bands; second, the Marine Corps Division [-] is now on the amphibious ship."
