Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

Truman found that sentence, and after reading it, he clenched his right fist and slammed the desk hard, swearing a foul word.

"This is Mao, no, is this the Chinese who are openly mocking our flawed intelligence and secrecy system?!"

Truman knew about the hydrogen bomb, especially the hydrogen bomb test, but the vice president and below did not; CIA Director Smith knew, and everyone in the CIA below him did not know.But the Chinese know it, and everyone in the whole country knows it...

Smith closed his eyes, not wanting to see Truman snarling and losing his composure in the office.

He now feels that the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, JPL, Los Amos...the Communist Party is everywhere.Even the CIA is all over the place.Is Senator McCarthy really right?

"...At least in this matter, we have no secrets from China, Mr. President."

……

Eight hours later, May 8, 1951.

Enniwetok Island.

Mankind's first radiation-imploding hydrogen bomb (or nuclear device) has been placed on top of a 60-meter iron tower.When the hydrogen bomb detonated, the dazzling light was ten thousand times brighter than the sun.A huge white sphere instantly rose from the Enniwetok Island. This is a water mist layer formed by the condensation of water vapor in the air after the air is compressed and released in an instant.When the shock wave came, no measuring instruments were needed, and the observers could know that the bomb was much more powerful than the atomic bomb just by their physical senses.The mushroom cloud is slowly rising, and the ground is still trembling. The small island of Enniwetok has withstood the bombardment equivalent to more than 20 tons of TNT. Observers once thought that it was going to sink into the sea, but in the end Enniwetok Island It was still barely holding on, and it didn't disappear into nothingness along with the hydrogen bomb.

The nearby observing ships soon sent back the results and preliminary parameters of the nuclear test to the United States.At the same time that the scientific research institution was informed of the news, the Air Force also sent a staff officer to report to the President.

"Oh, Enniwetok, good, good, but I don't want to hear it, I've been spoiled, spoiled. Got it?"

Truman picked up something from his desk and threw it at the Air Force staff officer.

Chapter 150, the big move of the US military

On May 1951, 5, Truman was furious after hearing the hydrogen bomb test. In addition to the fact that the news of the test was leaked out in advance, there was another reason: half an hour ago, the Joint Chiefs of Staff told him that the 12th American Bu Division had surrendered.

On the night of May 5th, the Lianchuan defensive circle of the 9th Meibu Division was broken through by the volunteers.The precarious defense line, the airdrop that can only maintain half-starved and half-fed, and the rescue that has made little progress make Li Qiwei have been hesitating whether to give up the 24th Meibu Division.

The attitude of Major General Blackshire, the commander of the 24th Meibu Division, was much more direct. On May 5, he sent a report to Van Fleet and Ridgway, arguing that continuing hopeless resistance would only cause more Americans to die, and that at this time they should surrender to the Chinese army with dignity.

Of course, if the 24th Meibu Division surrendered to the Chinese army, it would create a second spectacle on the Korean battlefield: after the 7st Regiment of the 31th Meibu Division was wiped out twice in North Korea, the commander of the 24th Meibu Division was in North Korea. Two people were captured on the battlefield.

But Li Qiwei instructed Van Fleet to let the Meibu 24th Division continue to resist.Li Qiwei's hesitation was not due to Blackshire's request, nor was it due to the increasing casualties in Lianchuan's defense circle. He was considering other factors.Therefore, on May 5th, 9th, and 10th, Ridgway emphasized not to surrender in his reply calls to Blackshire, but to hold on and wait for the opportunity.

Blackshire couldn't understand why Li Qiwei was so persistent in asking the 24th division of Meibu to stick to it.The rescue group that launched an attack from Gapyeong was almost unable to advance from May 5th. The 8th Army was stuck in Huayue Mountain and the 15th Army was stuck in Myeongji Mountain. Although the United Nations Army had 27+ heavy artillery, there were hundreds of small artillery and mortars. Still can't get through.The South Korean division came up and was crippled, the Thai regiment was crippled when attacking, and the French battalion was crippled when attacking. The 300th Division of the 15th Army also created a wonderful record of capturing 45 French soldiers in a 300-meter counterattack.The U.S. Army couldn't hold back and asked the 310th Meibu Division to attack in person, but it was also beaten back.

As for the 24th division of Meibu, the situation is getting worse day by day.By May 5, the entire division had more than 11 dead and more than 2000 wounded.The field hospitals within the encirclement of Lianchuan had already been saturated, and there were ordinary wounded who were dragged on for too long and became disabled, or seriously wounded died. On the night of May 6000, an angry Blackshire tweeted, "Our resistance is a needless waste of the lives of American soldiers, which is a crime!"

For a whole night, Ridgway did not reply to Blackshire's words.

In desperation, Blackshire led the remnants of the 24th Division to continue to resist the night attacks of the 12th Army, the 60th Army, and the 26th Army.After a hellish night, when the battle was over and the U.S. forces barely held their core positions, Blackshire knew that his troops would never survive the next night.

On the side of the Volunteer Army, the General Staff and Ye Ting have been emphasizing since May 5 that the troops must pay attention to tactics and reduce casualties in the battle of tough battles. A cost-effective way to slowly wear down the combat effectiveness of the 2th Mibu Division. On May 24, the 5th Artillery Division advanced covertly to a place close to Lianchuan. When the artillery within the U.S. Lianchuan defense circle blocked the volunteers from shelling, the 10mm howitzers of the 8th Artillery Division decisively carried out counter-battery operations, at least end 8 US artillery pieces and a large amount of ammunition were lost.

Afternoon on May 5.Suddenly Blackshear received a direct telegram from Tokyo.Ridgway's telegram was very brief, and the content can be summed up in one sentence: Your department immediately negotiated with the Chinese army, handed over your weapons and surrendered in a decent manner.

"Okay!" "Hey! Finally surrendered!"

Ye Ting and Su Yu were in Zhisi and Beijing respectively, jumping up and down with joy.The little tail dragging in the first stage of the fifth battle can be regarded as the end.

Ye TIGN: "It is recommended that Commander Chen represent the Volunteer Army to accept the surrender of the American division commander."

Su Yu: "Of course, he is the commander of the former enemy."

When the staff officer on duty heard Su Yu's words, he immediately typed the words on the keyboard.

On Zhisi's side, the dot matrix printer of the T51T communication computer made by Tang Hua immediately squeaked out a note.Ye Ting did not wait for the confidential secretary to mark the Chinese characters on the pinyin, but took the note and read out the pinyin first.

"Then it's settled!" Ye Ting walked out of Room 0, picked up the headquarters phone and dialed the front enemy headquarters of the 3rd Corps.

"Hello? Is it the 3rd Corps? I'm Ye Ting."

"Yes, I am Chen Geng!"

"It's up to you to personally accept the surrender of the 24th Meibu Division. You hand over the work to the chief of staff and lead a guard squad to move to the front line."

"Meibu 24th Division? Didn't they surrender?"

Ye Ting: "...they will send out a liaison officer with a white flag right away, it doesn't matter if you start now. Take the walkie-talkie."

In the Beijing War Situation Center, after cheering for a while, Suyu regained his composure.

"Li Qiwei is acting. It's a pity that his acting skills are not very high." Su Yu said while sitting on the bench, "Consul Feng, don't send this sentence."

Xu Shuai: "Actually, it's not that he's not good at acting, it's that we always read his scripts in advance. ... The U.S. military's last move, is there anything we need to improve in our response plan?"

Su Yu: "The plains can be given up, and the mountains must be contested. Looking for opportunities to wipe out the enemy is just these 12 words. If the enemy's situation changes and we need to modify the plan, let Ye Ting deal with it on the fly."

……

North of Lianchuan, Changli Village.

On the evening of May 5, the jeep of Chen Geng, commander of the Volunteer Army's 12rd Corps, drove here.Sure enough, as Ye Ting expected, when the jeep drove halfway, Chen Geng heard from the intercom that the chief of staff said that the 3th Meibu Division had surrendered.

At the village entrance of Changli Village, the scene of the surrender ceremony is ready.Two Hongqi-1 anti-aircraft missile launch vehicles, one on the left and one on the right, slanted the vehicle body, and the four anti-aircraft missiles on the vehicle shone with a metallic luster under the light of the torch, pointing obliquely at the sky.Behind Hongqi-4, there are two IS-1 heavy tanks with their muzzles raised high.

"I am Major General Blackshire Bryan, commander of the 24th Division of the U.S. Army Infantry. I am ordered by my superiors to surrender to your ministry. I request your ministry to take good care of our wounded in accordance with humanitarian principles of public international law, and treat our personnel with dignity. Prisoners of war treatment.” Blackshire’s speech of surrender is similar to that of the 2nd Mibu division’s teacher, and it seems to have a standard speech template.

"I am Chen Geng, commander of the 3rd Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteers, and I accept your surrender on behalf of the Volunteers."

When Blackshear took a step forward and handed over his gun, he took another look at the anti-aircraft missile launch vehicles parked on his left and right.

Is this the Chinese secret weapon that makes the U.S. Air Force helpless—the anti-aircraft missile?

Is this the kind of weapon that caused the morale of the 5th Meibu Division to drop from peak to trough on May 1 and 2?

On the night of April 4th, the front of the 30th Mibu Division was suddenly attacked and infiltrated by a large number of volunteers. The 24th Mibu Division, which had fought in the Korean battlefield for nearly a year and dealt with the volunteers for seven or eight months, responded step by step. The experience formed in the past and the combat regulations formulated by Li Qiwei methodically resisted the moonlight attack of the Volunteers.Overnight, the three regiments of the 1th Division of Meibu were intact and were not surrounded by divisions.

During the daytime on May 5, according to common sense, it was the time when various aircraft of the U.S. Air Force began to bombard the volunteers hidden in front of them indiscriminately.However, on this day, the soldiers of the 1th Meibu Division who were watching the air strike on the ground saw a scene that terrified them.

Two fighter jets flew over the head of the 24th Meibu Division and flew less than 5 kilometers away, all of which exploded into fireballs in the air.

A few minutes later, four fighter-bombers flew over the position of the 4th Meibu Division and attacked northward.The plane had just left the position of the 24th Division of Meibu, and several trails of smoke suddenly shot out from the place covered by the hillside in the north.The smoke trail and the plane intersected together, and soon the two fighter-bombers became fireballs, and the other two quickly turned around when they saw that something was wrong, but the new smoke trail did not let them go... When the pilot of one of the fighters When parachuting, the falling area happened to be the control area of ​​the 24th Meibu Division. Now the pilot is in the 24th Meibu Division team that surrendered.

In fact, this pilot might as well have died heroically in the air.After he was rescued by the 24th Mibu Division, he described his terrible experience in the air to the division commander, staff officer, regiment commander, and soldiers he met, and predicted that the US Air Force would never come to this area to support the Army again.After that, on May 5, only two planes flashed in the air, and no small planes came after May 2.The 2th Division of Mibu, which lost its air support, suddenly felt like the sky was falling.

Blackshire, who has excellent grades in engineering at West Point Military Academy, looked carefully at the secret Chinese anti-aircraft weapon in front of him, and felt that it was full of industrial beauty and unique temperament of precision instruments.The weapon turret was installed on a delicate circular chassis, apparently capable of rotating and pitching. The four anti-aircraft missiles shone coldly. Blackshire guessed based on his own feeling that they might be loaded with live ammunition.Blackshear also noticed that in the middle of the rotating weapon tower, between the four anti-aircraft missiles, there was a protruding object covered by the canvas. This was probably the biggest secret of this weapon, even more important than the missiles themselves.

Blackshire handed over the gun and went to the designated place.Behind him is the medical team that keeps coming in and out.Now the field rescue equipment, military doctors and nurses of the entire 3rd Corps and 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army have been mobilized urgently to go to Lianchuan to take over nearly 24 wounded from the [-]th Division of the US Army.After the military doctors and medical soldiers of the US military handed over their weapons, they also cooperated to assist the volunteers in transferring the wounded soldiers of the US military.

The surrender of the 24th American Infantry Division almost saturated the medical capabilities of the Volunteers on the western front. This is indeed an unexpected situation - I did not expect that there were so many wounded soldiers in the United States, and I did not expect that many of the wounded soldiers in the 24th American Infantry Division could no longer be treated properly. Healed.

……

When the 24th Division of Mibu in Yeoncheon was heading towards the prisoner-of-war camp, in the early morning of May 5, the marching column of the 13rd Mibu Division was driving along the riverside road from Gapyeong to Moshiyu-ri.
