Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

"It now appears that the United States has no sincerity for peace. It brazenly announced a unilateral withdrawal from the Hwacheon negotiations, and backhandedly provoked a new round of large-scale attacks in Dongducheon and Baochuan. This is blatantly trampling on the interests of people all over the world. hope for peace, in blatant disregard for the basic moral norms of the international community."

"The situation of the war will never be good for U.S. imperialism. The longer the war lasts, the U.S. soldiers will gradually realize that they should not fight for the monopoly capitalists on Wall Street, and should not lose their lives for nothing in the war of aggression. The public opinion of the world will be It will be clearer who is insisting on war and disregarding peace..."

"Peng Dehuai, June 1951, 6."

……

Lianchuan, the forward headquarters of the 3rd Corps.

"Report to Commander Chen, the 38th Army has finished its rest and has been reorganized into a combat force and accepts your command. Commander of the 38th Army, Liang Daya!"

Chen Geng, the commander of the 3rd Corps, saluted back, and then came up to shake hands with Liang Daya with a smile. miss you guys!"

Because in the blocking battle on the north and south banks of the Han River, one army fought against two American divisions very hard, and the troops were extremely tired. Therefore, the 38th Army and the 50th Army withdrew from the front-line combat sequence before the fourth battle was over. At the end of the month, return to the rear to rest and rest, replenish soldiers, repair weapons, and change equipment.

By mid-June, the 6th Army and the 38th Army had almost had a rest, and these two powerful troops that had fought hard on the Korean battlefield several times could be put into the front-line battle again.This is also the counterattack force for the Dongduchuan defensive counterattack that Mr. Peng and the Beijing War Situation Center have internally decided.

In addition to the 38th Army and the 50th Army, there are other troops responsible for the counterattack mission of the campaign.

The 21st Artillery Division, a rocket artillery division composed entirely of Soviet-style "Katyusha" rocket launchers, arrived at the front line along with it and made all preparations for combat.

The Second Armored Tank Division also came with the 38th Army.The First Tank Division was a tank division hastily formed from the tanks in the Soviet Army's inventory. Because there were only 150 tanks in the warehouses of the Soviet Army in the Far East, the First Tank Division had only two tank regiments that were not fully formed.

The first tank division returned to China for repairs, and the second tank division, which replaced it in rounds, had a lot of time to wait for the Soviet Union to deliver enough tanks and complete the modification of night vision devices and night combat training.Now the division has three tank regiments with a total of 291 T-34-85 tanks, a self-propelled artillery regiment, a heavy tank battalion and an armored reconnaissance battalion. The number of technical equipment is almost twice that of the first tank division.

"The 38th Army is always looking forward to the day when it will counterattack."

Liang Daya grinned and said:

"I also miss the United Nations Army on the opposite side. Almost three months have passed, Li Qiwei, we are back again."

Chapter 166, Wuliangsuhai Missile Test Base

Tang Hua knew that the fifth battle was not completely finished, so he stopped to talk about it. If it was a movie, it would not be time for the subtitles. Hit so big.

The U.S. military went up with the script of Shangganling in October 1952?

It seems that the United Nations Army is particularly concerned about the security of the Seoul-Uijeongbu urban circle.If the mountains near Dongducheon were still under the control of the Volunteers, the defense of Seoul by the United Nations would be very unstable.To the south of Dongducheon is a plain and a few low mountains. In many places, if the US military wants to build defensive positions, they have to dig trenches on the plain.And Pingyuan... Tanks appeared in the Volunteer Army in the fifth battle, and the U.S. military also knew that the Soviet Union was behind China and North Korea. More than 100 tanks in the five battles were just the beginning. What about training?

The only way for the United Nations Army to solve this problem is to attack the mountains. Even if they can’t drive all the volunteers out of the mountains, they should take half. This is less laborious than building fortifications on the plains.

Since the positional offensive and defensive battles have occurred in advance, some weapons and equipment must be in place in advance.As long as the summer and autumn of 1951 passed, the Volunteers' defense on the Line of Control would become more and more stable.

In the office, Tang Hua picked up the phone and called Long Distance.After waiting for a long time for the operator to operate successfully, the voice of Liu Nai, director of the General Administration of Ordnance Industry, came from the microphone:

"Minister Tang?"

Tang Hua: "We produce BM-31 rockets by ourselves, how is the coordination between Shenyang and Dalian now?"

Liu Nai: "We have already solved the most critical rocket engine, that is, Dalian has to increase its production and distribution capacity. You know, the BM-31 rocket has to compete with the Hongqi-1 missile for engine capacity."

The reason why the Hongqi-1 air defense missile can be produced quickly is because its engine... Tang Hua borrowed it from the BM-31. The BM-31 rocket has a caliber of 300 mm. The rocket engine is actually a circle smaller than the diameter of the bomb. It is just right to install it on the Hongqi-240 missile with a diameter of 1 mm.In other words, when Dalian imitated the production of BM-31 ammunition, the most difficult rocket engine had been solved, and the remaining work was to build a shell and fill it with explosives.

The Rocket Artillery Division introduced BM-31 rocket launchers. One division had three 132mm BM-13 "Katyusha" regiments and one BM-31 regiment. Tang Hua planned to develop the BM-31 rockets himself.

The ammunition consumption of the rocket launcher is very fast, and the rocket is much more expensive than the grenade. It would be a loss if every shell had to be bought with gold foreign exchange.Besides, when Tang Hua introduced the BM-31, he had long planned to use self-developed ammunition.

Tang Hua: "The expansion of the production capacity of the Dalian factory is up to you. Reserve enough rocket engine production capacity for Hongqi-1 and Hongqi-1A, and the rest will be supplied to the rocket factory. But there is another thing, BM-31 For ammunition, the development of the No. 2 bomb may be directly started. You also know that the US military is now aggressively attacking the mountainous areas on the western front, which may last for a long time, and the Korean battlefield will enter the offensive and defensive stage of positional warfare in the future."

Liu Nai: "Go directly to the mass production of the No. 2 bomb? What is the No. 2 bomb? I haven't had time to look at the information..."

Tang Hua: "The No. 2 bomb is not complicated. There are a total of three places to do some research and development work. The first thing is to get ethylene oxide, the amount is not too big, and the stable supply of about [-] tons per month is about the same. Yes. The second is to build a small parachute with timed release on the bomb. The third is to design a secondary detonating tube and an electric ignition device. For details, you should read the information."

Liu Nai: "I know about ethylene oxide. Dalian Jianxin Company can build a chlorohydrin manufacturing workshop. But this thing is flammable and explosive."

Tang Hua: "So try not to transport long distances. Ethylene oxide is produced in Dalian, and rockets are also assembled in Dalian. For other parts required for the bomb, if Shenyang 112B is responsible for the production, the parts will be sent from Shenyang to Dalian. luck."

Liu Nai: "If the No. 2 bomb is directly used, how will the batch production date be determined?"

Tang Hua: "The BM-31 rocket artillery regiment aided by the Soviet Union is now expected to be delivered by the end of August. It would be best if the No. 8 bomb is mass-produced simultaneously at the time of delivery. You start the development and production preparations first, and I will start the production in late July. I can spare time to go to Dalian and Shenyang to tackle key problems together.”

After talking about the BM-31 special rocket, Tang Hua had to find a coal mine to coordinate other matters.

The coal mine is not in Shenyang, but in Fuxin, and it is not easy to make long-distance calls to Fuxin.Tang Hua sent a telegram to Fuxin Coal Mine in the name of the deputy minister, asking them to prepare for the shipment of special equipment.

……

After the two things were arranged, Tang Hua's eyes stayed on the hanging map, and his eyes moved from Beijing to Zhangjiakou, from Zhangjiakou to Hohhot, then to Baotou, and then to the northwest of Baotou.There is a lake called Wuliangsuhai here.The administrative division to the north of Wuliangsuhai is Urad Middle Banner, but in fact this is a blank area that is inaccessible.

In this area of ​​the Inner Mongolia prairie, the PLA Engineering Corps and a division of infantry had been stationed in Urad Middle Banner four months ago. If the estimate is correct, by July, the first phase of the project will be completed, and some Put into use.

Tang Hua named this place the Wuliangsuhai Missile Test Base.

The temporary missile test site built in the Ming Tombs has completed its historical mission.According to the plan, after the 8th Hongqi-1 anti-aircraft missile regiment completed its training, Tang Hua would stop firing firecrackers at the emperor's grave, and move to a farther and safer place.A training ground was built by the Air Force in Chifeng for missile training and target shooting, and the test of new missiles was moved to Wuliangsuhai test base.

From Beijing to Wuliangsuhai, you have to take the Beijing-Baotou Line, and the section from Beijing to Zhangjiakou is now called the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway.The straight-line distance of this section of road is 500 kilometers, and the actual mileage is more than 800 kilometers. After getting off the train in Baotou and turning to the road, it takes about 100 kilometers to drive.In short, a day or two of tossing on the road will definitely not be able to run.But Wuliangsuhai is really big, so there is basically no need to worry about the missiles flying out of control.It is far enough away from a big city, not only is there no problem in the test firing of air defense missiles, but also in the future, long-range air defense missiles, mid-range anti-missile missiles, medium-range and short-range ballistic missiles... all can be test-fired here.

The equipment at the missile test base is also neat and regular products, and there is no need for DIY equipment at the Ming Tombs missile test site. 50X200 kilometers of missile flight area, six radar tracking stations, four sets of optical tracking instruments, a radio monitoring network covering the entire test site, a weather center and more than 30 weather observation stations, except for some produced by Nanjing and Shanghai itself, most of them are It was imported from the Soviet Union.

Tang Hua went to the Soviet Union in February and March this year. He was very drooling when he saw the full set of equipment at the Kapustin Yar missile launch site, but he was scared when he heard the price.When I came back, I thought about it and thought about it. There are quite a lot of missiles and the like that I want to make in the future.When Qian Xuesen comes back, there will be more missile tests, so sooner or later a full set of test base systems will have to be established.The construction plan was reported to the Government Affairs Council. The Prime Minister considered it for a while, and finally approved it with a swipe of the pen.

"Long-term planning: The Xinjiang Yili missile observation and experiment base should start construction from 1955 to 1956,...as the cooperation of the Wuliangsuhai base? What does this mean?" The Premier asked when he saw the last page of the report.

Tang Hua: "Prime Minister, some missiles are designed to have a very long range. After being launched from Wuliangsuhai, they may land at a place [-] kilometers away. At this time, we have to fight westward from Wuliangsuhai to the vicinity of Yili, and from the Yili base. And observation stations along the way to monitor."

Prime Minister: "Two thousand kilometers?! Is there any farther? It won't be ten years later that a test site will be built in Hulunbuir, and the missile will hit Yili from Hulunbuir in one go, right?"

Tang Hua: "More than ten years later... Prime Minister, we may have to go to the Gilbert Islands or even the Fiji Islands to conduct experiments, rowing from northwest China to somewhere in the South Pacific."

……

War center.

Although the United Nations Army's attack on Dongduchuan was expected by both the General Staff and Zhisi, Tang Hua did not expect that the 12th Army and the 60th Army would stand on the mountain for 10 days in the battle plan agreed by Zhisi and Suyu.

"The U.S. military must be on the field in person, and the U.S. military must be deeply involved in the offensive and defensive battles in the mountains, so that the counterattack of the 38th Army and the 50th Army can disrupt the U.S. military's position." Su Yu explained, "The U.S. military's position is in chaos, and our counterattack can fight back." Pain him, so that the U.S. military will neither have enough troops nor enough guts to carry out an attack on a scale above a division for a period of time in the future. If we persist on the mountain for a few more days, we can also give enough time to the two armies, tank divisions, and rocket launchers Move to the front and develop an attacking formation."

This is the attack of 3 American divisions and 1 South Korean division plus hundreds of heavy artillery.

Suyu and Zhisi's plan is indeed correct. From the analysis of the game between the enemy and us, only this kind of plan can allow the volunteers to reap the greatest benefits on the battlefield.But thinking of the 6 artillery battalions of the U.S. Army lining up to bombard Gwangam Mountain and Ganak Mountain day and night, Tang Hua himself felt uncomfortable even though he was not on the Dongducheon battlefield. During the battle from June 16th to June 6th, Tang Hua simply hid.It just so happened that there were no equipment failures in the War Situation Center during the past 25 days or any British and American high-level intelligence needs to be judged, so Tang Hua spent every day working on the equipment he planned in the Electronic Information Industry Bureau.

No matter how the front line fights, as long as I don't ask questions, I won't be upset...

Guangyan Mountain.

"Tell comrades, the men of the 12th Army bleed but not cry. No one is allowed to cry. They raise soldiers for thousands of days and use them for a while. No matter how heavy the casualties are, they must continue to fight. For the overall victory, it is nothing if the 12th Army is wiped out. But if Guangyan Mountain is lost, you, Zhao Lantian, will not come back to see me!" Zeng Shaoguang said to Zhao Lantian, commander of the 12th Army's 31st Division.

战至6月21日，在美军进攻正面的12军34师伤亡过大无法坚持防守，31师替换了34师的位置。光岩山第一线的四个无名山峰在6月23日白天被美军占领，6月24日凌晨又被21师通过夜袭夺了回来。投入战斗3天后，31师两个团已残。
