Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

Reporter: "General MacArthur, I heard that when you gave a speech at the 24th Division, you promised the soldiers to let them go home victoriously before Christmas."

"Yes! I said so to their division commanders, battalion commanders and all the soldiers."

Reporter: "Can the general mean that the war can be ended before Christmas?"

"Not only can it end, but we will end with victory. After the war, the Eighth Army will be transferred back to Japan again, and two divisions will be stationed in Europe."

Reporter: "How many Chinese troops are on the peninsula?"

"Thirty thousand regular troops and thirty thousand volunteers."

Reporter: "When will the UN forces attack?"

"I have given direct orders to Frank Milburn and John Coulter to advance twenty miles tomorrow."

Reporter: "What do you think is the sign of victory in a war?"

"The powerful offensive of our left-wing troops will be unstoppable, and any resistance will be weak and hopeless. With the cooperation of powerful sea and air forces, my right-wing troops will be in a very favorable position. As long as the two armies on the left and right join together by the Yalu River, In a sense, it is equivalent to the end of the war victory."

……

Everyone in the intelligence center was stunned and looked at each other.

"...On the second day after he said this, the First Army and the Ninth Army on the Western Front did advance, exactly as he said. It was the recording we listened to on this radio program, a few days late .” Li Kenong said.

Everyone's face showed the expression of "MacArthur, this kid must not be a fool".

"He has said it like this. From now on, we can hold the radio and listen to MacArthur's speech every day. We don't need to decipher their telegrams." The commander-in-chief said.

After reading MacArthur's interview with the reporter, Su Yu couldn't help but smile.

At the end of June, when the Battle of Penghu was over, Commander Su fell ill. He recuperated in Qingdao for a period of time, but his condition did not improve.After coordination by the central government, Suyu was transferred to the Soviet Union for treatment in August. Returning from the Soviet Union in November, the commander-in-chief and the prime minister came to find Suyu, and the central government planned to let him work in the general staff.Suyu is now the second deputy chief of staff of the Revolutionary Military Commission and also the deputy commander of the East China Military Region.

The 9th Corps is Sanye's old base unit, and Su Yu is familiar with it; the 9th Corps' battles on the Eastern Front were actually jointly commanded by Zhisi and Beijing after coordination.Therefore, Chief of Staff Su frequently went to the combat situation center after he reported to the General Staff.Although he has only stayed in the combat information center for two days until today, he has also seen the central government's frequent combat deployment suggestions or combat orders to the 9th Corps.

"This encirclement and annihilation deployment is a bit like Huaihai. A small Huaihai." Chief of Staff Su said.

"We fought the First Marine Division, like fighting the Reorganized 47th Division in 74, even more cautiously than when we fought the Reorganized 74th Division." In the past few days after the 9th Corps entered Changjin Lake, the commander-in-chief has been watching the situation ahead. It can be said that his understanding of the Eastern Front is no less than that of the chairman. "To fight against the First Marine Division, our deployment and combat determination have been adjusted several times. From the entry of the 9th Corps into North Korea, to the 27th when the divisions of the 9th Corps entered the attacking position, There are three relatively large adjustments in the middle."

Su Yu took over the telegrams that had been divided into several stacks with paper clips, and had very frequent telegram exchanges with the telegrams of the 9th Corps, as many as several a day.

"Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, Zhisi: The news that the 17th and 32nd regiments of the 150th U.S. Army Division have arrived at the border between China and North Korea is being widely reported by the South Korean, Japanese, and American media. The possibility of rushing westward from the Sino-North Korean border to raid Ji'an is very unlikely. Open news reports mean that their location and dynamics are also open, which loses the secrecy of going westward. On the premise of losing secrecy , the U.S. military cannot complete a roundabout raid of up to [-] kilometers, with poor roads and far away from the logistics base. Don.”

"With regard to the total strength and combat effectiveness of the 9st Marine Division of the United States, the previous estimates of the 1950th Corps and Shiji were inaccurate. In May 5, the 2st Marine Division held a military parade. At the same time, the Pendleton Marine Corps Base in California Announced the general establishment of the First Marine Division. Its three Marine regiments are all strengthened regiments with heavy artillery and 'Sherman' medium tanks. In addition, the division directly controls a heavy artillery regiment and a 'Pershing' heavy tank battalion... Because the land The particularity of the status of the team, even in the peacetime after the end of World War II, it still maintains a full-staffed state and a high level of combat readiness training. The whole division is composed of 5 people. After strengthening, the total number of staff in the division will be between 7000 and 8000. Don."

"The training method of U.S. combat engineers regards engineers as regular combat troops. Engineers need to receive training from regular combat troops. While mastering the basic tasks of engineers such as opening roads, building bridges, detonating explosives, and setting up communications, they also have the ability to communicate with infantry. The battalion has considerable mobile combat capability and is equipped with a complete battalion of light and heavy weapons, including mortars. The U.S. defenders in Xiajieyuli are not an infantry battalion, but should be regarded as two reinforced battalions with a total defensive force of 2000. In my opinion, this matter needs to be reminded as soon as possible to the front, that there must be sufficient estimates of the US military’s defensive forces in Xiajieyu, and that the combat deployment for attacking Xiajieyu be adjusted accordingly. Don.”

"Who is this Tang?" Su Yu looked through the telegrams in the last two or three days, and found several telegrams from the 50 Center that were not signed by the Volunteer Army Intelligence Staff Center, and asked the chairman.

"It's Tang Hua. He invented the special bomb used by our Air Force during the Penghu Campaign." The chairman said, "Have you met Xiao Tang? Let me think about it... yes, yes, last September, the New Political Consultative Conference You attended the meeting, and Tang Hua was also a representative of the first CPPCC National Committee."

"I remembered, Tang Hua, member of the National Revolutionary Delegation, was elected as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference." Su Yu remembered, and immediately realized that something was wrong. "Ministrian?"

"Tang Hua's father, his relatives, and a group of fellow villagers are all from the left wing of the Democratic Party, so he became the first batch of representatives of the founding of the Democratic Revolutionary Party." The commander-in-chief said.

"Mr. Cheng Qian is our Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, and Fu Yisheng and Zhang Zhizhong are also members of the Central Military Commission. We often hold meetings together to discuss national defense and military affairs." The chairman waved his hand at Su Yu, "We will gradually get used to it in the future."

Su Yu touched his chin.

The chairman is right in saying that, but... let’s take the example of entering the DPRK and participating in the war. The decision was made by an enlarged meeting of the Politburo. After three days of intense debate, the opinions of the party were unified, and the decision to send troops to resist US aggression and aid Korea was made, and then it was brought to the Central Committee The military committee of the people's government is just a general meeting and a show of hands to vote.

According to this, Tang Hua seems to be more useful than veterans like Cheng, Fu, Zhang, Cai, and Long.

……

North Korea, Xiajieyuli.

"Battalion Commander, what you said is right! Hit the U.S. military and send beautiful weapons! A lot of them!"

The 172st Battalion of the 1nd Regiment, which was ambushing on the mountain last night, rushed into Xiajieyu, and was stunned by the piles of supplies and ammunition here.

The 58th and 59th divisions, with four main regiments, carried out surprise attacks on Xiajieyu from two directions under the cover of the Army Artillery Regiment. They had an absolute superiority in force, and their superiors instructed everything to aim at occupying Xiajieyu. Instead of seeking to encircle and wipe out the defenders, the 58th and 59th divisions also left a hole for the defenders to retreat to the south.After the fierce close combat at night, the U.S. troops in Xiajieyu fought and retreated, and disappeared to the south. Our army captured Xiajieyu and the airport.

Xiajieyuli is an important logistics supply transfer station for the 1200st Marine Division. It collects as many as 200 tons of materials and ammunition, and 400 trucks transport [-] tons of materials from the rear every day. The newly built airport can provide nearly [-] tons of supplies per day. At the same time, the transportation unit of the First Marine Division set off from Xiajieyuli to transport these materials to the northwest or southeast to the front-line troops.

The little soldiers next to the battalion commander took the copied material identification and classification list and checked the seized US military materials one by one.

“The brown jar or box with the letter 'coffee' on it is coffee. Boil water and drink it to refresh your hunger, but the coffee powder is very bitter and cannot be chewed dry."

"The carton with dinner or breakfast is the U.S. military's field ration, and one box is equivalent to a compressed biscuit"

"The duck down sleeping bag of the US military is similar in function to our military sleeping bag"

"Canned egg powder and sulfa disinfectant powder must be identified and distinguished, and they must not be confused"

……

The food piled up into a hill, and after walking dozens of steps, the shells piled up into another hill.It is a pity that the artillery was blown up when the US army retreated, so the volunteers only captured the wreckage of six 6mm howitzers.These 105mm and 105mm shells are not available for the time being.

The little soldiers happily counted the supplies, but the 1st Battalion Commander frowned and looked serious.Last night, he told stories and bragged to the soldiers around him, and the soldiers were full of confidence after hearing it.Fighting overnight, the position was taken, and the supplies were seized, but the battalion commander was not happy.

In this battle, the U.S. military did not suffer much tactically!

The U.S. military just discovered that it was being attacked by superior forces and decided to withdraw from its position temporarily.Even if the two sandbag walls were breached by our army, the defenders inside still looked good. Some ran back, while others kept firing with their firearms and flexibly used terrain items as cover.The person who ran first ran away for dozens of steps, then stopped and fired, taking cover alternately.As for the grenades, the U.S. military probably saw us throwing grenades, and the soldiers in front of them immediately fell down and avoided...

Four regiments and 200 combat troops unexpectedly launched a night attack and captured Xiajieyu Ri and the affiliated airport, but only more than 1000 dead American soldiers were found on the ground.The other more than [-] US troops all ran away.

You must know that in the battle at night, more than 200 people of our army died.

"Airplane! Airplane! Air strike! Covert!"

The lookout post shouted, and at the same time fired a signal flare into the sky.

Four single-engine small planes with four propellers suddenly appeared at a not too high altitude and flew over Xiajieyu.The bombs came straight to the stockpiling point, and a hill of supplies was hit. The cartons and wooden boxes were torn into pieces and thrown into the sky together with the goods inside.After dropping the bombs, the four small planes made a circle in the sky, came back and strafed Xiajieyu repeatedly along the valley at an altitude of 400 meters.

The battalion commander lay on the ground, watched the plane climb away after firing bullets, and shouted to the correspondent: "Hurry up and transfer supplies! The focus is on food and medicine!"

However, just as the battalion commander stood up and prepared to gather his personnel, the lookout post fired another signal flare.Four small planes with strange inverted seagull wings dropped bombs just like the previous attack, and then strafed along the low-altitude pass of the valley.

After the shooting of the small planes was completed, there was a sharp whistling of "woo-woo-" from above the sky, and four small planes plummeted down vertically from high altitude.The bombs dropped by this small plane were much more accurate than the previous two waves. When the small plane rushed to a low altitude and pulled up again, the material collection points in Xiajieyu had already exploded into one piece. The bomb accurately hit one of the shell accumulation points, booming The sound of Long's suicide explosion continued for a long time.

The little soldier who was still happily counting supplies just now rolled and crawled all the way. Seeing that the battalion commander found a still complete artillery hole dug by the US military, he also crawled towards the battalion commander, rolling and hiding in the hole.

"Battalion Commander..." The little soldier's face was dark, "He beat the U.S. military to send American weapons, but why did he send the plane..."

"..."

The battalion commander bared his teeth, unable to answer the little soldier's question for the time being.He looked at the sky from the anti-gun hole, and found that the lookout sent another air defense warning signal flare into the sky.
