Chapter 536: The Second Battle of the Yalu River (7)

After talking about these things, and moving on to the topic of landing on the Korean Peninsula, Xiao Jianjun first said: "Major General Luo, what do you think about the combat plan for landing on the Korean Peninsula?" ”

In fact, on the way back, Luo Yue seriously considered the issue of landing on the Korean Peninsula, and when he saw Xiao Jianjun asking, he said: "If only from a tactical point of view, it is of course feasible to land on the Korean Peninsula, Bi Jing has a successful precedent for landing at Inchon in the old time and space, and strategically speaking, landing on the Korean Peninsula can not only put the Japanese army in a situation where the enemy is on its back, but also create favorable conditions for cutting off the rear supply lines of the Japanese army and even encircling and annihilating the main force of the Japanese army." Of course, the tactical arrangements of the club also need to be studied in detail, and of course, the first thing to do is to determine the landing site, and I have a preliminary idea of this, that is, the first choice should be in Jinnampo, the second choice is Gunsan, and the third is Incheon. ”

Xia Bohai said: "Why not Incheon, you just said that there is a successful precedent for the Incheon landing in the old time and space, and the Inchon landing is close to Seoul, the capital of South Korea, we can capture Seoul in one fell swoop, control the royal family members of South Korea, and let the Korean royal family speak out to condemn Japan's aggression, isn't it more beneficial to us?"

Luo Yue said: "At this time and that time, the technological level and strategic goals to be achieved in the era we live in are different, of course, the landing site chosen is different, and the experience of the old time and space cannot be copied in a rigid way. First of all, the terrain and hydrological conditions of Incheon are not suitable for landing operations, and there is only a narrow channel into Incheon Port that will block the entire channel if a ship sinks in this channel. In the old time and space, MacArthur, who commanded the Inchon landing, also acknowledged these unfavorable conditions, but with MacArthur's naval technology level at that time, it was possible to offset some of the disadvantages of the environment, and our current technological level is basically difficult enough to overcome these difficulties. ”

"Secondly, the tactical objectives are different, MacArthur launched the Inchon landing against the background that the North Korean army has reached Busan, and the South Korean army and the American army are almost driven into the sea, so the purpose of the Inchon landing is to cut off the North Korean army's supply line and completely annihilate the North Korean army, and assist the South Korean army to counterattack and occupy the entire Korean Peninsula. This requires that "the landing site can not only cut off the supply line of the Korean army, but also not too close to the battlefield, so as to leave space and time for the deployment of troops, if it is close to the battlefield, it will be immediately attacked by the North Korean army, and Inchon is relatively close to Seoul, so after the US troops landed, they quickly recovered Seoul, which also has great symbolic significance in politics." ”

"But the goal of our landing this time, as long as we can mobilize Japan to withdraw troops from the Yalu River, and we don't need to completely annihilate the Japanese army, as long as it causes heavy losses to the Japanese army, the most important thing is that I have no intention of occupying the Korean Peninsula, so we occupy Seoul, control the Korean royal family is really not much significance, this can not be described as chicken ribs, but a hot potato, once it is not handled well, it will inevitably bring us political trouble, for example, in the future negotiations, Japan will exchange the Korean royal family as a condition, whether we accept it, if we accept, it means that we have given up morality, and will let South Korea move to us angrilyIt will not be good for our future expansion on the Korean Peninsula, but if we refuse, is it worth it to give up practical interests for the sake of the Korean royal family?"

"My preferred target town, Nampo, located at the mouth of the Taedong River, is itself a harbor city and the largest trading port in northern Korea, and geographically far more suitable than Inchon for landing operations. Moreover, Japan's logistics center is now located in Pyongyang, and Jinnampo is the maritime gateway of Pyongyang, which is only more than 40 kilometers away from Pyongyang, so once we succeed in landing in Jinnampo, whether we can capture Pyongyang or not, we will force the Japanese army to withdraw from the Yalu River. The mountains are located at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, and in addition to the geographical environment suitable for landing operations, they are far away from the main battlefield, and there is ample time to command troops after landing. Assemble and transport ashore, and deploy troops, in addition to the mountains are about 170 kilometers away from Seoul, after we land in the mountains, we can also threaten Seoul, contain the Japanese rescue and also leave time for the Japanese rescue, the Korean royal family is a hot potato for us, but it is definitely an important personnel for Japan, if it really can't be saved, of course there is no way, but as long as it can be saved, the Japanese army will definitely try its best to save. In this way, the goal of mobilizing the Japanese army was achieved, which is why I chose the mountains as my second choice. The location of Incheon is good, but the conditions for landing are so poor that it can only be listed in third place. ”

Xia Bohai nodded and said, "Very good, Major General Luo, you have thought it very carefully." Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Wang Yunpeng said: "Major General Luo, I don't have an opinion on the other factors you raised, but you don't think it has much practical significance for us to control the Korean royal family, so I have a little different opinion." We will not occupy the Korean Peninsula this time, but we will inevitably expand our influence to the Korean Peninsula in the future, and if we have the Korean royal family in our hands, we will also be able to ask questions, and we can reduce our resistance on the Korean Peninsula, what do you think?"

Luo Yue said: "My idea is that even if we control the Korean royal family, Japan will find someone else to replace it, or change Korea from an imperial system to a republic, or even simply merge Korea and Japan." And if we want to expand to the Korean Peninsula, it must be after the founding of the country, in terms of time, it will take about 10 years, such a long time, how much influence the South Korean royal family still has in the country, it is doubtful, because I don't think that the current South Korean royal family still has much prestige in the country, and Japan has been operating on the Korean Peninsula for many years, and has already cultivated a group of leading parties, so it may not be of much use for us to control the Korean royal family in our hands. As for the expansion of our influence to the Korean Peninsula, in the final analysis, it still depends on our own strength, and as long as our own strength is sufficient, are we afraid that we will not find an excuse?"

Xia Bohai said: "Okay, about the issue of the South Korean royal family, let's study it again, we won't discuss it today, the Military Commission has sent the Kunming ship and the Xiangyang ship to the Korean Peninsula Haicheng to reconnoiter the hydrographic data information, and we will instruct them to focus on surveying the hydrographic data of Zhennanpu, and you will seriously consider the details of the landing battle in the past few days, and come up with a plan for the whole body." ”

After the meeting, Luo Yue and Qin Zheng went home together.

When she returned home, Zhou Ping was busy in the kitchen with Sister Lu, the nanny of Qin Zheng's family, and it turned out that knowing that Luo Yue was coming back today, Zhou Ping deliberately got off work early and went home to cook. Now the conditions of the East China government are much better than in the past, and the materials are also greatly abundant, so each family can cook by themselves, no longer need to eat in the big canteen, Zhou Ping made a good meal in the old time and space, so today he also personally went out to prepare a table of sumptuous dinners to celebrate the family reunion.

Seeing Qin Zheng and Luo Yue coming back, Zhou Ping smiled and said: "Xiao Luo, Xiao Ying is upstairs watching the child, you go up by yourself, when you go up, be lighter, maybe the child is asleep, I will call you when the meal is ready, your things will be placed downstairs, and then clean up later." ”

Luo Yue nodded, put the luggage on the first floor, and then went upstairs lightly, gently pushed open the door, and saw Zhou Weiying sitting on a rocking blue edge in front of the window, holding the cradle in one hand and a book in the other, but he looked up at this side, his face was full of surprise, he stood up and opened his mouth to speak, but he covered his mouth again, and said softly: "You are back, be quiet, the child has just fallen asleep, don't disturb him, come and see the child." ”

Luo Yue walked to Zhou Weiying's side gently, only to see a baby lying in the cradle, his whole body was wrapped, only his round little face was exposed, his hair was not fully grown, his eyes were closed, and he was sleeping soundly.

Seeing Zhou Weiying said: "Don't look at him yet, but he is in good spirits, the sound of crying can even be heard downstairs, and I finally coaxed him to sleep." As he spoke, a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. At this time, her face was still a little haggard, obviously not fully recovered after giving birth, but looking at the child's eyes, it was full of tenderness and love.

Luo Yue's heart felt guilty again, and said: "It's just that I don't accompany you at home during this time, and I can't even be by your side when the child is born, it's very hard to take care of the child alone, I'm really sorry." ”

Zhou Weiying said with a smile: "Don't say that, you are also for business, what hard work do I have, and I am not the only one, but also my father, mother, Sister Lu, you have been outside for the past few months, marching and fighting, not only laborious, but also frightened, this is very hard, I see that you have a lot of scabs and a lot darker than when you left." After a pause, he said softly: "It's just that sometimes I worry about you." ”

Luo Yue smiled bitterly, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to gently hold his wife, although he had just given birth, Zhou Weiying's figure was not out of shape, this is that Zhou Weiying is still young, and now he is only 26 years old and recovers quickly;

After a while, Zhou Weiying said: "By the way, the child hasn't been named yet, you just happened to be back, so let's name him." ”

Luo Yue was stunned, since he received the news of Zhou Weiying's production, he was both happy and guilty, so much so that he really didn't think about what to name the child, and after thinking for a while, he said: "This time I am fighting in the Far East Theater, so his name is Luo Yuandong, which can be regarded as a memory." ”

Zhou Weiying said with a smile: "Aren't you going to North Korea to fight again, if the child is born a month later, isn't that going to be called Luo North Korea?"

Luo Yue felt guilty in his heart, because he didn't stay for a few days when he came back this time and was leaving, and said, "I'm sorry, I ......"

Zhou Weiying said: "Don't say it, I'm already very happy that you can come back for a few days, you can do whatever you want, you don't have to worry about it at home." After a pause, he said, "But pay attention to your body and safety." Remember, you are already a person with children. ”
