Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

Brezhnev, the representative of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union and the first secretary of the Moldavian Party Central Committee, sat in the first few rows of the audience.He will be elected as the Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU at this conference. Brezhnev, who has thick eyebrows and thick hair and looks naive, is not interested in the rostrum at all, and only patronizes cadres with similar backgrounds and ranks to him We make friends and build relationships.

The delegation led by Vice Chairman Liu sighed at the current size of the CPSU. 600 million party members and 90 candidate party members-the total number is not an exaggeration, but 1359 delegates participated in the congress, representing 15 union republics and the second largest industrial system in the world.At the same time as Vice Chairman Liu, brothers from Poland, East Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Albania, North Korea, Vietnam, Mongolia... conference" feeling.

Stalin did not feel that he was the leader of the martial arts alliance. He experienced the three buttons in front of him for approval, opposition and abstention with great interest and a smile.

In fact, the representatives of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union sitting below also found this voting and counting system quite interesting.Soon, the representatives of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union figured out a new skill: when voting by secret ballot, stretch out the left and right hands at the same time, hold the fists together, cover the three voting keys, and then stick one thumb in, so that no one will be aroused. Press one of the keys carefully.

In Khrushchev's speech, regarding the revision of the party constitution, the first item is to change the name.After the report on revising the party constitution is finished, it will be voted on.

Stalin's finger reaches for the button of the voting machine.At this moment, a light flashed on the lower left side of him, and a reporter was there to take pictures. Stalin estimated that he happened to capture the key he pressed.Stalin's smiling face just now sank.

"Now I announce that the Soviet Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) will officially be renamed the Soviet Communist Party (Bolsheviks). The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the CPSU (Bolsheviks) will be abolished and the Presidium of the Central Committee of the CPSU will be established!"

"The Chinese and North Korean comrades insist on drawing a 40-kilometer-wide demilitarized zone on the Han River Plain, which is very sensible."

The Chinese delegation led by Vice Chairman Liu arrived in Moscow at the end of September to attend the 9th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union as an ally.In the consultations before the official meeting, Stalin talked to Vice Chairman Liu about the Korean armistice negotiations.

"At the same time, we also have to take a clear-cut stand against the fact that after the signing of the armistice agreement, the United Nations will send a supervisory committee to the Han River Plain to conduct armistice monitoring inspections." Stalin also said, "The United Nations General Assembly is now controlled by Britain, the United States and Western countries, and they also dominate the Security Council. Britain and the United States The United Nations under control will definitely not make favorable decisions for China and North Korea.”

Vice Chairman Liu: "Exactly. We propose to form a supervisory committee from neutral countries. These countries must meet two conditions: they have not participated in the dispatch of troops by the UN military to North Korea from the beginning to the end, and they have been unanimously approved by China, North Korea and the UN military."

Stalin: "The British and Americans will do everything possible to exploit the loopholes in the contract. In negotiations, don't believe in oral expressions. It seems that what they should do and what they should give, if they are not clearly reflected in the clauses, cannot be believed. .All conditions must be put on paper and pen, and reflected in the armistice agreement, and we must retain the ability to punish the United States at any time for violating the agreement."

Vice Chairman Liu: "Our attitude towards the armistice negotiations is resolute. We have the determination to strive for peace on the Korean peninsula, and we must resolutely safeguard the interests of North Korea and China. Our bottom line will not change."

Stalin looked at Vice Chairman Liu, stopped talking for a while, and focused on poking his pipe with a match.

Chapter 240, October Offensive

"Victories with too many losses are not victories. This is my consistent position. A war with heavy losses will cause the empire to lose its say in the world order after the war. Obviously, although China has a population of [-] million, they are in this war. They did not plan to squander their manpower during the war, which formed a clear contrast with Russia. From this, I seem to be able to draw a cautious inference that China is very concerned about its right to speak in the socialist camp after the war.”

Brussels, Belgium.

British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery was comfortably half-lying on a chair in his office, chatting aimlessly with the current British Secretary of Defense, Field Marshal Harold Alexander.

When NATO was established, Eisenhower was the commander in chief of NATO and Montgomery was the deputy commander.The current commander-in-chief of NATO is Li Qiwei, and Montgomery is still the deputy commander.

Montgomery was not at all dissatisfied with the adverb on his head. In his opinion, the great war was over, and he just retired at the NATO headquarters in Brussels with an honorary title.

"Monty, Ridgway seems to insist that the Chinese have paid far more casualties than the U.S. military," Alexander added.

Montgomery: "That was to maintain his little self-esteem, so I didn't expose him. During the five months in charge of NATO, he seemed to want to deliberately forget the war in North Korea, but the more so, when he occasionally heard There was a palpable sense of uneasiness at the latest on the situation on the Korean peninsula. It's probably a form of PTSD."

"According to common sense, if Ridgway suffered serious setbacks in North Korea, then after he leaves office, he should feel better when he hears news that the US military in North Korea is still suffering setbacks again and again."

"I've noticed that it hasn't changed for the better." Montgomery said, "Alexander, can you explain to me what anti-aircraft missiles are in the simplest language."

"This is a smart weapon exclusively owned by the Chinese and Russians." Alexander said, "It's a smart rocket. It combines radar, radio and a machine that automatically calculates the deflection angle. When the missile is launched, it will automatically track the aircraft flying in the air. Since missiles are more flexible in turning than aircraft, aircraft tracked by missiles generally cannot get rid of the attack. On the Korean battlefield, the Chinese used three types of anti-aircraft missiles, one short-range, one medium-range, and one long-range. covering the entirety of northern North Korea."

"Oh. Thanks," said Montgomery. "General Ridgway never said anything about it. So the USAF is no longer able to support ground operations in Korea?"

"Yes, and, since last May, the situation has gotten worse. The Chinese army first put into use short-range anti-aircraft missiles, in May 5. Then in October last year, Russian-made long-range anti-aircraft missiles were activated. Missiles. In July this year, medium-range anti-aircraft missiles were put into use. But I have always believed that even without air support, the tanks and artillery of the US army have an absolute advantage over the Chinese army.”

Montgomery sneered. "Little Yankee cousin is more regressive than he was ten years ago."

Alexander: "The United States does now want to end the Korean War, withdraw its forces from Asia, and re-armament in Europe. This is also in the interests of the empire. We should thank China for defeating the American army on the Korean peninsula just right, for Britain And the security of Western Europe has added weight."

Montgomery didn't reply right away, he stood up, walked to the world map by the wall, glanced at East Asia, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up.

"Our little cousins ​​probably haven't realized yet, they're going to have another problem."

……

On October 1952, 10, the United States once again unilaterally announced an indefinite adjournment.In the continuous friction and small-scale offensive and defensive battles between the Volunteer Army, the People's Army, and the United Nations Army, the Korean War is preparing to drag into its third winter.

Stalin and the Soviet army in Moscow were also slightly surprised to hear from the General Staff that the United States had voluntarily terminated the armistice negotiations on October 10, because Stalin had just skillfully provoked the determination of the Workers’ Party of Korea to fight to the end, in case the United States wanted a peace and armistice The agreement was "accidentally" signed, and as a result, the United States itself sabotaged the armistice negotiations first.

The war has lasted for more than two years. Although the U.S. and the United Nations have an absolute advantage in national strength and a huge advantage in weapons and equipment—most of the weapons and equipment, so far, the United States has put all weapons except the atomic bomb Used, the result of the war is still very embarrassing.Not only is the goal of armed occupation of North Korea impossible to achieve, but the goal of armed defense of South Korea is also somewhat reluctant.If the armistice agreement is signed, the U.S. military will withdraw to the south bank of the Han River with the South Korean army, and Seoul will be gone. You say you are defending South Korea with arms, which is a bit reluctant.Is Korea the same as Busan?

Clark also wrote in his diary in frustration: "Since the beginning of the armistice negotiations, the United Nations troops have only increased casualties and lost positions on the battlefield, and the gains have been lacklustre. By October 1952, 10, American soldiers had been on the Korean Peninsula. 1 people were killed, 66200 were injured, and 23 were missing. Recently, China provided a list of more than 42000 American prisoners of war, which roughly matches the number of missing persons in our statistics. If you choose to trust China’s list, then The remaining 39000 missing should probably also be included in the death toll."

"So far, more than 10 U.S. troops have been killed and missing on the Korean Peninsula," Republican candidate Eisenhower sharply accused at a campaign rally for the 1952 presidential election, "becoming the second largest war in U.S. history after the Civil War and the [-]. The fourth worst war of the First World War. This unbearable indefinite delay can no longer be tolerated! Negotiations must be carried out in good faith to resolve the Korean issue in accordance with international law and international practice, and to sign an armistice agreement... The first task of the new administration will be to re-examine all possible means of bringing the Korean War to an early and honorable end..."

"In order to achieve peace in North Korea, I will go to North Korea after being elected, yes, in person. Only then will I be able to know how to serve the people best - whether to wage war or to achieve peace."

……

"Tang Hua is right," Liu Zhijian read the summary of deciphered telegrams sent by the 50 Center, "Eisenhower used the Korean armistice as his campaign slogan; Eisenhower's approval rating rose rapidly; Launch an effective offense. Then VanVleet really organizes the offensive campaign."

"Truman should have asked the U.S. military to fight a battle that is not too big, but has a certain reputation, and most importantly, it must be able to win, so that the domestic media in the United States can add fuel and jealousy to create a sense of 'the United States is regaining the initiative on the Korean battlefield. This will increase the chances of winning the election for Truman and Stevenson." The prime minister said.

"So, Van Fleet chose Seoul and Yizheng." Su Yu shook his head helplessly, and Xu Shuai beside him also shook his head and sighed.

Now there is no need to look back at the map, Suyu has memorized all the topography, towns and villages of the North Plain of the Han River.After recovering from illness, I have been in the war situation center for more than a year. How many times have I fought back and forth in Hanjiang Beiping?

"Deputy Commander Deng sent back an analysis report on the movement of the United Nations Army from the 50th Center and passed it on to Zhisi and Beijing. Mr. Peng and Commander Ye drew up a defensive counterattack plan. Both I and Xiangqian basically agreed. Suggest small adjustments."

Su Yu opened the report, "The 50 Center believes that the October offensive of the United Nations Army is most likely to start from the battle of Seoul and Goyang's extended control area across the board. The U.S. Army and the South Korean Army will use battalions as units to conduct multiple battles in plains and hills. The small-scale battle of quick battles, the goal is to drive out the small units of our army deployed at the front. The United Nations troops participating in the battle are the 10nd Division of the US Army, the 2st Division of the US Cavalry, and the 9th Division of South Korea. After the troops, the troops of the U.S. Army and the South Korean Army changed from scattered to concentrated, and attacked Uijin from two directions. The United Nations Army should also know that our army has only a small number of troops stationed in Uijin, and they should be able to quickly occupy Uijin. Then we can force the artillery positions of our army on the front line from Ui-government to Yangzhou back to Dongducheon, so as to ensure that Seoul will not be covered by our army's long-range artillery fire."

"If the United Nations Army completes this stage of offensive operations, it will be of great political significance, so it is a political battle first. Secondly, in terms of military affairs, it is true that the government is not conducive to defense, but as long as it persists for a period of time, the three U.S. forces Both the Commonwealth Division and the United Nations Army can cross the Han River and rebuild a flexible defensive position between Seoul and Uibu. However, I am afraid that the US military will still have to act accordingly in the second and third phases of operations.”

"Finally, Deputy Commander Deng and Wang Yongjun reminded us to pay attention to the date when the U.S. military launched an offensive. Since the U.S. military now uses a large number of wired telegrams and telephones for communication, and the 50 Center has just collected and sorted out the future movements of the United Nations Army, the offensive is likely to be It started on October 10, less than 12 hours from now."

……

On the morning of October 10, Seoul.

Since the Yangzhou defense line was broken by the Chinese army in the "Sixth Battle" in July, the US and South Korean troops have been able to gather only in Seoul and Goyang, two cities close to the Han River.Neither the U.S. Army nor the South Korean Army dared to go far to the north, because walking would put them within the firing range of the Chinese army's artillery, and the small Chinese army hidden in dense forests and hills would quickly command artillery groups to decimate the United Nations troops. Smash it back.

What the volunteer army hides is really a small group of troops, usually spread out in units of platoons, and may have to be divided into infantry squads when performing specific tasks.Therefore, when the US offensive started in October, there were only two extremely scattered companies of volunteers around Seoul, and one company of volunteers and one company of People's Army reconnaissance around Goyang.

The US military's October offensive also uncharacteristically did not use prolonged artillery preparations.In the early morning of the first day, the U.S. military organized three infantry regiments and one tank regiment to cross the river from the south bank of the Han River at one time;

In Miah-dong, northeast of Seoul, a mechanized column with two companies from the 5nd Battalion of the 2th Regiment of the 2st US Cavalry Division as the main force is advancing. Every tank and armored vehicle is scattered. Rockets that could come from any direction.

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot at all unknown objects 3 feet above the ground!" Battalion Commander Rogorides put down his walkie-talkie, and tanks, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and self-propelled anti-aircraft machine guns fired at the village ("hole" in Miah-dong is in Korean)中actually means village) and nearby forests.

Bukhan Mountain was attacked by the 8rd Battalion of the 3th Regiment of the 91st U.S. Cavalry Division. American soldiers and South Korean soldiers got off the armored vehicles and attacked the 3-meter-high Bukhan Mountain.According to intelligence, there is only one platoon of Chinese troops on the mountain, possibly including an artillery observation team.When the [-]st U.S. Cavalry Division attacked, the mountain did not seem to shoot down.But when the United Nations soldiers climbed halfway up the mountain, a burst of accurate shelling from the direction of Yizheng-Yangzhou put the [-]rd Battalion in a panic for a while.

"The Chinese army used artillery to block the fire in some areas, but most of the infiltration attacks were successful. As expected, these Chinese scout teams did not engage our side at all, and they did not even build decent fortifications." At the 8th Army Headquarters in Suwon, the chief of staff reported to Van Fleet every 5 minutes on the frontline battle situation.

"In addition to the centripetal attack on the Chaoyi government, it seems that we can go straight to Yangzhou." Van Fleet pointed to a blue arrow on the map. This arrow's breakthrough in the first hour was extremely smooth, representing the It is the 1st Battalion of the 5th Regiment of the 1st US Cavalry Division, plus a tank company and a self-propelled artillery company.

"If the intrusion is successful, we can capture some Chinese howitzer positions in Yangzhou, but the Chinese army has deployed defensive forces around Yangzhou, which is a rigid defensive line. If the 5th Cavalry Regiment rushes in rashly, it may hit the wall." said the chief of staff.

"Where are the tanks and self-propelled anti-tank guns of the Chinese army?"
