Chapter 106: The Secret of Jeju Island

During the talks, Choi Sung-kook received the following statement from the Chinese and North Korean sides: "The issue of prisoners of war has become the most hotly debated and longest-delayed issue in the armistice negotiations." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 After the start of the armistice talks, the United States vigorously promoted an "intelligence and education program" in the prisoner-of-war camps to support anti-communist forces by "using prisoners to contain prisoners." The Taiwan side also entered the prisoner of war camps to establish anti-communist organizations and induce them to force as many prisoners of war as possible to refuse to return to China.

Choi Sung-kook only heard about it, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, so after he first came to Jeju Island, he was assigned to a hill 20 kilometers away from the Jeju Island prisoner of war camp, this hill has a management office, of which 10 kilometers is the sea route, which is across the river from Jeju Island, and every time he goes, he has to take a boat.

Cui Chengguo took a boat for the first time and found that the scenery here was very beautiful, and he could not appreciate it because he was on official business. Because after arriving at Jeju Island, someone immediately drove them up, climbed the hill, bumped all the way up the mountain, and there was basically no one at first, and then after driving for 1 hour, they came to a heavily guarded open area, which was very large, like a small city, and held 150,000 prisoners of war of the Korean People's Army and more than 20,000 prisoners of war of the Chinese People's Volunteers.

There are sentry posts everywhere, three steps, one post, five departments and one sentry, everywhere there are isolation belts and armed sentry posts, with police dogs, there are heavy machine guns everywhere, and the sentry posts with guns in the guard tower are looking around with binoculars at any time.

Not far away, a group of infantry held bright rifles, the rifles were all bayonets, the bright and dazzling in the sun, and there were three tanks acting together, it can be imagined that it is even more difficult to escape from here.

This made Cui Chengguo feel as if he had returned to the scum cave of Geyue Mountain, and the scene from three years ago was vivid.

Cui Chengguo bumped all the way, and finally arrived at the prisoner of war camp management office, and the group of eight people got out of the car, and the other party's management office was in charge of a US major general Jack, who was nicknamed Crocodile Jack.

There is also a South Korean major general to assist in the management, and the overall division of more than 10,000 troops, plus thousands of policemen, as well as tanks, mortars and other heavy weapons for defense, everywhere are trenches and the like.

In the words of Major General Crocodile Horse, "This place is so impregnable that anyone who wants to escape all the time has to ask them if they agree." ā€

But what is even more terrifying is that the ground is impregnable, there are planes in the sky to constantly reconnoitre, and there are various mechanisms buried underground, some of which are rumored to be air-raid shelters dug by the Japanese, and there are many treasures plundered during the war, which are full of various hidden channels and branches.

Without a map and a compass, even those who have been in it for a month or two may not know what the whole inside is like.

In short, in the words of South Korean Major General Du Shichen: "Since the establishment of the prisoner of war camp, no one has escaped, and I hope that no matter where you go, you will be led by our people, otherwise you will go astray, which is a fatal thing." ā€

Cui Chengguo and his entourage of eight people lived on the third floor of the prisoner of war camp management office, which itself was located on the highest hillside, and the management office had a total of five floors, and there was a large pillbox on the fifth floor.

From the top of the bunker, you can see the entire prisoner of war camp, the tallest building of the prisoner of war camp is only two floors, where the radio station is set up, where the wind blows, the armed forces and thousands of police officers in the back will immediately take action. Cui Chengguo went up to the third floor with his luggage on his back, and when he passed by the second floor, Cui Chengguo saw a figure that he was very familiar with before, but this figure was just a flash and fleeting.

"Could it be him? How could it be him? How did he end up here? What is he doing here? A series of countless greetings popped up, Cui Chengguo thought in surprise.

Early the next morning, Choi Sung-kook and John went with Major General Du to familiarize themselves with the situation, and Major General Du said: "There are prisons No. 1 to 10, No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 are prisoner of war camps of the Red Chinese Volunteers, and Nos. 4 to 10 are all from the Korean People's Army.

The first thing to go to is No. 4 and No. 5 prisons, which is the location of Du Du, a prisoner of war of the People's Army, and there are people guarding them along the way, and when they arrive at No. 4 prison, the prison director personally opens the door to greet them and leads them to check the situation.

There are four buildings on the ground, all of which are two-storey, symmetrical from east to west, north to south, with the management office to the west and a large prison opposite, but they are all occupied by middle-level KPA officers. The North and South prisons were also very large, but they were only a few junior officers and soldiers, and these people probably added up to the residences of several thousand people, surrounded by watchtowers and military police, and wolf dogs barked incessantly in them

The middle is very empty, and there is even a basketball court, which makes people feel that this prison is still quite capricious.

But Cui Chengguo felt that the number was far more than that, how could there be only officers, and hundreds of thousands of troops, each number should also have tens of thousands, John also felt that the number was too small, especially the middle and high-level officers saw very little, most of them were lower-level officers and soldiers, so he especially wanted to see other people.

John asked to see the other people in this number, and felt that such a humane arrangement did not seem to be a real prison, in John's opinion, the prisons of the US military and the South Korean army have never been so humane, they are all dirty, and this kind of thing is almost the same for people who do not know the situation. Therefore, John does not believe that this is what prison is all about.

Major General Du seemed to hesitate, seemed to see his doubts, and went to the management office to make a phone call, and the phone went on for a long time. Ten minutes later, the major general returned, and the American major general Crocodile Horse agreed to let them go to the basement to see, and as soon as they entered the first floor of the basement at the management office, they heard the sound of wailing.

I checked all the way to the bottom floor, and the third layer is basically looking at people, and there seems to be no other abnormal phenomenon, when the big guy is about to leave, I don't see the middle and senior officers of the Volunteer Army here, Cui Chengguo and John don't seem to be very happy, after phone contact, Major General Jack of the US Army came to the prison in person, and kept explaining a lot, in short, it means that you can't visit the prisoner of war camp of the Volunteer Army.

It's just that Crocodile Jack didn't expect: people's curiosity was aroused, the more things that were not allowed to be seen, the more they could arouse people's desires, the more they were not allowed to visit, the more John and Cui Chengguo felt that it was necessary to visit, because of Major General Jack's resolute attitude, they did not see it that day, John and Cui Chengguo were very unhappy and felt that they were not taken seriously.

John returned to his dormitory, and a telegram was sent to Major General Tyck and the U.S. military negotiating team, and Major General Tyke saw the telegram and replied: Negotiations will be arranged.

Perhaps because he felt that he had rejected the request of John and the others, Major General Jack of the United States sent an adjutant and several wardens to John Cui Chengguo's dormitory in order to avoid embarrassment, and asked them to have a dinner party in the evening to welcome them and the others. The inviter also said that he would be ready to let them meet some special guests tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
