Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

Lao Zai, an adviser to the Ma Political Bureau of the Artillery Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, danced and danced in his small courtyard.

"Son, do you remember where you put your father's boiling pot?...I found it, I found it"

"Father, take it easy. Even though it's a great event, you can't drink too much." Lao Zai's son, Aixinjueluo Puxi, is now in charge of his father's life. No more than three.

Well, his father is called "Lao Zai", but his full name is Aixinjueluo Zaitao, Daoguang's grandson and Puyi's uncle.

In the Qing Dynasty, Zai Tao was the Duke of Belle Fu. He visited eight European countries and came back to take charge of the imperial guards.Later on 918, he did not leave with Puyi, but stayed in Beijing. He was so poor that he even sold his house. He neither sought refuge in Manchukuo nor sought employment in the puppet government of North China.Zai Tao is now looking after and raising horses for the People's Liberation Army.

As for where is Puyi?He had just been handed back to China from a prisoner-of-war camp in the Soviet Union, and was being reformed in Fushun.

Pu Xi couldn't persuade Zai Tao anymore today, he also watched the news about the recovery of Seoul, and knowing what happened today, his father would definitely not be able to stop drinking only three glasses of wine.

After eating three, four, five, six, seven, eight cups, Zai Tao leaned back on the chair, and continued talking on the phone:

"At that time, Westerners and Orientals looked down on us. When I was 20 years old, I went to their European countries for inspection, and all of them looked at you with their nostrils turned upside down...British, French, German, Italian, the army is strong, the ships are strong, and the guns are strong, so they are clearly bullying. You, but we really can't deal with it... Now it's alright, beat those grandchildren hard, have fun... Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to Chahar to see how the horse farm is, and I will pick a large number of draft horses again. North Korea is too cold, and the pack horses on the front line died too quickly... We can count as doing our part to beat up those white-skinned grandchildren..."

Fuzhou.

The big house of the Sa family.

"Bao Zuo prolongs the joy of all nations, and the stars arch to the top of the five clouds... The sea waves are clear and the spring is magnificent, and the phoenixes are gathered among the flowers. The sea waves are clear and the spring is magnificent..."

"Uncle has been singing all night, are you tired?"

Outside the house, a middle-aged Sajia in his 40s asked the nanny next to him a little anxiously.

"Uncle also drank, and he has not been allowed to drink for many years. Now I don't feel drowsy, it's time for the alcohol to come. Uncle is very happy today."

92-year-old Sa Zhenbing has an old disease. He heard his great-nephew read a newspaper and learned that the Volunteer Army had recovered Seoul. He tremblingly asked his great-nephew to give him the newspaper and read it again with his own presbyopia.When he saw the word "Seoul" and the map printed on the newspaper, Sa Zhenbing burst into tears.

Drinking, splashing ink, singing "Navy Song of the Beiyang Navy" over and over again in the study.

"Navy Song of the Beiyang Navy" was written and composed when the Beiyang Navy became an army, and it was widely sung among the officers and soldiers of the navy. After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War in 1895, the entire Beiyang Navy was annihilated, and the living Beiyang people were scattered all over the country. The military song was gradually lost in history. By 1950, not many people still remembered its lyrics and music, and even knew the existence of this military song. There are not many people anymore.

The 92-year-old Sa Zhenbing is the person who represents that period of history together with this military song. He is the last surviving captain of the Beiyang Navy in the new China era.

Born in 1859, in 1876, together with Ye Zugui, Liu Buchan, Fang Boqian, Yan Fu, etc., he was sent to study at the Royal Naval Academy in Greenwich, England. After returning to China, he taught at the Beiyang Naval Academy. After the defeat of the Sino-French naval battle, he resigned as a teacher. As the captain, he served as the leader of the "Kangji".During the First Sino-Japanese War, Sa Zhenbing led his army to fight against the enemy at the Ridao Fort, and stood guard for 11 days until the shells were exhausted before withdrawing to Liugong Island.

The Sino-Japanese War ended in failure, the entire Beiyang Navy was annihilated, the Westernization Movement died down, and Sa Zhenbing was sent back to Fuzhou.His wife passed away, and his family was in dire straits. He couldn't even support his two children, so he had to work as a school teacher to earn money.Later, in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Sa Zhenbing was reactivated several times, from the official to the admiral of the navy, and also acted as the prime minister.But in the troubled times of the Republic of China, he could only go with the flow.When he was old, Sa Zhenbing resigned from the military and returned to his hometown. From then on, he focused on social affairs, public welfare and disaster relief, and no longer bothered with the navy.

The Korean War broke out, and the United Nations army captured Incheon, Seoul, and Pyongyang, all the way to the Yalu River. When he heard the news in October, Sa Zhenbing's eyes were wide open and his body trembled. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to 10 years ago, and all the things he didn't want to recall in his heart came to his mind.

If you want to conquer China, you must first conquer the Northeast, and if you want to conquer the Northeast, you must first conquer North Korea... Isn't the U.S. war in North Korea repeating the Japanese invasion of China decades ago?

Today's China is not Manchu.The current PLA is not the Green Battalion of the Huai Army.Volunteers cross the Yalu River.The Volunteer Army defeated the United Nations Army on the Yalu River.A lieutenant general and a major general in the United States were imprisoned.Volunteers retake Pyongyang.Volunteers captured Seoul.It is also indecent to come and go, the United Nations army bombed our border cities, China will also retaliate equally, fight across the [-]th parallel, occupy the next Seoul, or else we will lose face.

"Uncle..."

The grand-nephew entered the study room and gently persuaded Sa Zhenbing. "You still have to take care of your body, and don't overdo it..."

"The border of the country used to be small but now it is large. Although the rule of the people is divided, it will eventually be united... Children and grandchildren, I am content to see this scene in the past." At this moment, Sa Zhenbing's eyes were full of tears.

Chapter 1, busy for the next battle

Time has just entered this night in 1951, and the whole country is in a long-lost mood of joy and pride.

Zai Tao was drunk.Sa Zhenbing cried.The crowd erupted.Those who believed that the Volunteer Army could protect their homes and the country were ecstatic, those who were worried about the future of entering North Korea and participating in the war were relieved, and those who thought that the Volunteer Army could not defeat the U.S. Army were at a loss.

In Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Taiyuan, Changsha, and Nanchang, massive parades were held in various cities, celebrating the occupation of Seoul by the volunteers all night long.

On this night, Tang Hua also heard the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums in the street outside.Although the weather was quite cold, Tang Hua wrapped himself up tightly and went out to see the excitement.Just out of the alley, there is a Yangko team and a stilt team. Now the Yangko performers are not retired old ladies, but mostly young girls and boys. Dozens of people are singing and dancing on the street to the sound of drums.

Tang Hua also heard "Battle Hymn of the Volunteers", which was very good, and his time travel did not disturb or affect the birth of this song.

The winter of 1950-1951 was worth celebrating and relaxing for a few days.

Some are celebrating and others are busy.

Mr. Peng and Ye Ting worry about the supply of volunteers in Zhisi Division.As the front line advances more and more, the supply line of the Volunteers is also getting longer day by day.The War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea is an external battle, and it is impossible for our army to raise food on the spot like in the country. Besides, North Korea can't scrape much food now.Every grain of rice eaten by the volunteers had to be brought from China, and the occasional seizures could not satisfy the food and clothing of hundreds of thousands of troops.

In November 1950, our army urgently dispatched more than 11 drivers from across the country, and now only more than 2000 remain, and the rest have died.Under the high-intensity air strikes, our army's supply lines can only operate at night, and cars can only drive dozens of kilometers at night, so we have to find a hiding place to spend another day.Driving at night plus the destruction of roads by airplanes during the day, there were more than 600 accidents caused by car crashes and deaths.During the day, U.S. military planes circled unscrupulously at low altitudes looking for hidden trucks. Occasionally, some trucks with flaws in camouflage could be found, or they were blindly right.Now on the road from Dandong and Ji'an to Pyongyang, there are car wreckages destroyed by air strikes everywhere.

In the areas of Hamhung and Xingnan Port, the cadres and soldiers of the 9th Corps, who have just finished the Battle of Changjin Lake and are resting, have to assign a multi-regiment manpower every day to patiently paw the snow near the original US military warehouses in the two small cities , Find out the US military supplies that are still available.For example, a whole box of canned food that was blown up by the U.S. military’s own shells, field rations with damaged packaging (but the small bags of food in it are still valuable), or even a small roll of bandages or a small piece of cream, for the volunteers. Said to be an important supplement.

On the Qingchuan River Bridge, the U.S. military has blown up the bridge three times. After each air strike, the Volunteer Army Engineers rushed to repair the bridge and opened it to traffic in the shortest possible time.The anti-aircraft artillery units deployed around the Qingchuan River Bridge tried their best to intercept the enemy planes with the unadvanced Soviet-made anti-aircraft artillery. Three or five planes were shot down.Of course, for the U.S. military, based on the number of sorties/shot down rate, that is, a loss rate of two to three per thousand, this is nothing.

Mr. Peng sent a telegram to Beijing in a hurry, clamoring to go to Anton to find the logistics department to slap the table and scold his mother.Ye Ting wanted to go to Beijing to talk to the chairman. ——Of course, at this moment, neither of them can leave.

In the war situation center in Beijing, the Chairman and Prime Minister Xu Shuai and Nie Shuai became night owls just like they did during the Liberation War. They focused on dealing with the Korean war from late night to early morning every day, discussing countermeasures with Zhisi and commanding the troops.

"In the previous period of continuous combat, our cadres and soldiers were physically exhausted. They kept fighting, couldn't eat well, didn't sleep well, and were prone to fatigue. After this battle, they must rest and recuperate."

Although Zhisi sent battle reports on where to capture and where to advance, the chairman was not very interested in reading these battle reports, but emphasized that the troops should rest and reorganize.

The straight-line distance from the Sino-North Korean border to Seoul is more than 300 kilometers, and the actual distance is [-] kilometers.In the past two months, most of the soldiers of the Volunteer Army have walked this distance with their feet, and they did not walk during the day.It is normal to dig snow nests in the snow for several hours in a row. If you can find a "ghost village" in the early morning on the way to the march, the whole regiment and division will be like a festival, even if there is no fuel and In a cold house with heating equipment, it is much more comfortable for soldiers to sleep in the room crowded together, after all, the walls can also block the wind.

"We are resting, and the enemy is also resting." Xu Shuai said, "At present, the enemy's combat intention is to find a suitable area and strive to establish a stable front. After standing on the ground, while resting and supplementing, while looking for opportunities to counterattack.  … ...In general, the current Korean battlefield is far from over, and the enemy will not withdraw from North Korea unless a large part of it is wiped out."

"In the second battle, we wiped out the 2nd U.S. Bu Division on the western front, and wiped out two regiments of the 7st Marine Division and one regiment of the 8th U.S. Bu Division on the Eastern Front. This number is not much, but it is much less .Eliminate two divisions, and there are five more divisions. Moreover, because we beat him back on the eastern front, now he does not need to spread his forces on the eastern front, and can concentrate all the remaining troops in the south to stop us." The chairman gestured with his finger , "There is another question, that is, we captured Walker as a prisoner. Who is the new commander of the [-]th Army that the United States replaced?"

"Judging from the telegram, the new commander of the 8th Army has already taken office, and the code name in their radio call sign is FX." Xu Shuai said, "I don't know who this FX is yet, he is different from MacArthur and Walker. , he is almost never giving interviews, and it has been 10 days now, and his name has never appeared in Korean or Japanese newspapers or on the radio.”

Chairman: "Where are our American studies experts at this time?"

……

After a moment of silence, the Prime Minister replied: "Tang Hua has been busy with the research and testing of several weapons and equipment recently, and often stays at Tsinghua University and the missile test site. Also, Tang Hua may be emotional about the results of the Changjin Lake battle. Otherwise, I haven't been involved in the affairs of the general staff and the combat situation center for half a month."

Xu Shuai: "Well, there are indeed many things we should review in the Changjin Lake battle..."

It has been more than half a month since the battle on the Eastern Front ended. After the results and losses were counted, Zhisi, Beijing and the 9th Corps were shocked and began to review the entire battle.

In the battle of Changjin Lake, our army counted prisoners and killed 16000 enemies (in fact, there were 4000 U.S. troops who turned into snow sticks, buried in the snow of Changjin Lake and have not yet been dug out, so it is impossible to count now), blocking battle It is estimated that 2 U.S. casualties were caused in the battle with the pursuit battle, that is, the total annihilation of the enemy is estimated at 23000. However, our army suffered 9500 casualties, of which [-] were killed.

In the original history, the 9th Corps had 19000 casualties and 29000 frostbite.Now there are more than 2000 people with frostbite and frostbite, but the soldiers who have not been reduced due to enough winter clothes have thrown into the battle, and more intense battles of siege and annihilation broke out, so the combat casualties of our army have increased instead.

On the Western Front, our army almost played a 2:1 exchange ratio, while on the Eastern Front, the exchange ratio was 1:1.15.

The 9th Corps sacrificed a regiment commander and a deputy division commander in the attack on the First Marine Division of Xixingling.The configuration of the 9st Marine Division in the encirclement, two infantry regiments and an artillery regiment, made the 9th Corps attacking Xixingling very painful.In stark contrast, the [-]th Corps did not have a single heavy artillery.

Therefore, after the battle, in Shiji's summary, the lack of firepower leading to difficulties in the battle was listed as the biggest mistake in the battle on the Eastern Front.

In fact, when the 9th Corps was pulled from the south to the northeast, why did it have 3 divisions in the 11 armies under its jurisdiction? It was because it was ready to leave a relatively long preparation period for changing clothes in the northeast. Two of the 11 divisions were to receive Soviet artillery, upgraded from an infantry division to an artillery division.

But time was running out, and the entire corps only changed into winter clothes in Shenyang, and entered the court directly from the eastern front.And immediately after entering the DPRK, he went to Changjin Lake to intercept the First Marine Division.

The total troop input was insufficient, the firepower preparation was insufficient, and the estimation of the intelligence and combat effectiveness of the US military was insufficient at the earliest time.In the end, although a relatively good record was achieved, the serious losses in the battle caused only 9 divisions of the 2th Corps to join the third battle on the eastern front.For the rest of the troops, 3 divisions have lost part of their combat effectiveness, and 6 divisions have lost more than half of their combat effectiveness, all of which are waiting to be replenished.

"The 27-year-old boy...is normal. That's fine. When Tang Hua comes tomorrow, show him Song Shilun's 9th Corps battle review."
