Wrapped in silver, it is extraordinarily enchanting, and the northern country is covered with white cotton wool, presenting a great world of ice and snow. On the side of the border between China and North Korea in Jilin, soldiers are practicing on the playground of a barracks. This is where the Korean Restoration Army is located. At present, the Korean Restoration Army is an army with a strength of about 30,000 troops. At this time, Lee Seung-ryong, commander of the Korean Restoration Army, dressed in military uniform, accompanied Moon Biao, commander of the 3rd Corps, to inspect the training of the troops. The soldiers were crawling and rolling in the snow, practicing all kinds of military skills, the Chinese instructors were meticulously shouting at the top of their voices, and there were occasional explosions and smoke rising from the training ground.

"General Wen, at present, the morale of my troops is high, and the soldiers are determined to recover the motherland and the blood-stained battlefield as if they were dead, when will we attack." Lee Seung-ryong seemed impatient. "General Li, I'm more anxious than you to fight in Korea, I guess it's going to be soon. I can tell you a piece of news, Chief Ge has come to Mukden. "I'm really looking forward to it day and night, if General Wen can be accommodating, I want to thank General Ge in person for his selfless support." "I'm here to inspect you, and I'm here to take you to Mukden, and the chief wants to see you."

Li Chenglong was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to bow to Wen Biao. Wen Biao inspected the barracks for a day, and the next morning it was convenient for Li Chenglong to drive to Mukden. Due to the difficulty of the snowy road, the convoy camped in a village at dusk. After dinner, Li Chenglong returned to his room and said: "Army commander, we have asked for the formation of two armies, but the Chinese side can only expand the troops if they enter North Korea, what does this mean?" "I can't figure out why that's why. Since you are under the roof of others, you will listen to others, and take one step at a time. ”

Lee Seung-ryong continued: "For the sake of the great cause of the restoration of the DPRK, we must endure. The training instructors sent by the Chinese side were all trained on the battlefield. Although the training methods are like the devil, if we can meet the standards required by the Chinese instructors, we will train into an iron army. As soon as we enter North Korea, we will immediately expand our troops, and you make the people below fully prepared. "Commander, our men have made contact with the resistance groups in North Korea, and there are plenty of troops to expand the army. In order to reduce unnecessary losses, the resistance groups were asked to cancel all attacks and avoid retaliation by the Japanese army. ”

The subordinate continued: "Commander, General Ge summoned you to take action, I heard that the 1st Corps of the Chinese side has arrived on the Liaodong Peninsula, and we may follow the 3rd Corps to act." "Do you still need to guess, General Wen's inspection means that the operation is about to begin, and we will know the answer when we go to Mukden." In another room, Wen Biao also talked to his subordinates. "Commander, why did the chief minister take a look at Li Chenglong?" The subordinates asked in confusion.

Wen Biao took out the browned potatoes in the brazier and said: "As far as I know, the United States, Britain and France urgently mediated, hoping that we would stop military operations and ask China and Japan to negotiate to settle the dispute. This time, the commander-in-chief summoned Li Chenglong to ask him to come forward and announce to the outside world in the name of the Korean Restoration Army, haven't you seen that the troops have changed their uniforms after the restoration of the motherland, and this time we have entered the DPRK to fight in the name of the Volunteer Army. "The world knows what's going on, is it necessary to be so cumbersome?"

"It's called the drunkard's intention not to drink, and the chief is playing the political card. We are soldiers who don't understand politics, as long as we can fight Little Japan, what kind of name does it matter! "By the end of 1917, the war in Europe had largely become clear, and the defeat of Germany, led by the Central Powers, was a foregone conclusion. Under such circumstances, the United States, Britain, France, and other countries suddenly hardened their tone, demanding that China stop its military operations and resolve the contradictions between China and Japan through negotiations. The international situation has changed abruptly, and if you want to fight against Japan in Korea, you must become famous.

In fact, Ge Yunfei already thought that the United States, Britain, France, and other countries would make things difficult, and he also thought that Japan would turn to the United States, Britain, and France to mediate. In this way, we can see how wise Ge Yunfei is to advocate the formation of the Korean Restoration Army. After Wen Biao and Li Chenglong arrived in Mukden, a news conference was held the next day under the auspices of Ge Yunfei. Ge Yunfei's opening remarks were concise and to the point, and then he went straight to the point: "Gentlemen, ladies, North Korea has been a friendly territory and close neighbor of China since ancient times. ”

"The people of China and the DPRK have lived in peace for generations and have established a deep friendship. The official language of North Korea is Chinese, and valuable historical materials are recorded in Chinese, and its upper class takes pride in being proficient in Chinese. In view of the friendship between China and the DPRK for generations, the government of the Republic of China cannot sit idly by and watch the Korean people in dire straits. At the request of the Provisional Government of the DPRK, the Government of the Republic of China decided to help the DPRK form a restoration army and help the Korean people recover their motherland. As a friendly neighbor, the government of the Republic of China decided to enter the war in Korea in the name of volunteers. Next, I would like to invite Ri Seung-ryong, the supreme leader of the DPRK Provisional Government and commander of the Korean Restoration Army, to speak! ”

Li Chenglong happily came to the stage, bowed under the flickering spotlight, and said, "Dear General Ge, gentlemen, ladies. First of all, on behalf of the Korean people, I would like to thank the government of the Republic of China for its selfless support and General Ge for his benevolence. At present, the Japanese army is still entrenched on the Korean Peninsula, and tens of millions of Korean people are under the obscenity and demonic grasp of the Japanese invaders. I now solemnly declare that the Korean Restoration Army, with the assistance of the volunteers of the Republic of China, is determined to restore the ······ of the motherland. ”

In the face of questions from foreign reporters, Li Chenglong was impassioned and answered without leakage, obviously Ge Yunfei had given him a face-to-face lecture. Later, Ge Yunfei faced reporters' questions, and the answers were reasonable, and the answers were fluent. The war is about to begin, and it is already unstoppable. After the news conference, reporters from various countries were busy sending messages to China that Ge Yunfei was hosting a banquet to entertain Li Chenglong at a high-end restaurant in the city. During the banquet, Ge Yunfei highly praised Li Chenglong's outstanding performance at the news conference.

After a few glasses of wine, Li Chenglong boldly asked: "Your Excellency, honorable commander, can you reveal when the action will begin?" Ge Yunfei said with a smile: "I understand General Li's feelings, I can tell you that the attack on Japan will be launched in mid-December, and the specific day has not yet been decided." "Where is the direction of our attack?" "Your unit cooperated with the 3rd Corps to enter the DPRK from Linjiang to Changbai Mountain, and the target of the attack was the Gaima Plateau." "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, the Korean Restoration Army will definitely take the lead and live up to its mission."

"General Li, I said that as long as your unit enters the territory of North Korea, I promise you to expand two more armies, and the Japanese-style equipment has been delivered to the 3rd Corps, and the equipment, weapons and ammunition will be handed over to your department after entering the DPRK, how about this satisfaction!" Li Chenglong was overjoyed when he heard this, and soon became drunk and unconscious. That night, Ge Yunfei summoned Wen Biao, He Zhi, and intelligence leader Shan Feng to discuss. Ge Yunfei said to Wen Biao: "Your unit is serving as a feint attack in the Korean Restoration Army, but the feint attack is not pretending, but fighting realistically. ”

"Since Li Chenglong is eager to return to the country, can he take the lead?" "Understood, but our department has carefully studied the Gaima Plateau, why do you want to feint?" Ge Yunfei said: "On the surface, the Japanese army put the defensive center on the front line of Sinuiju, and the Gaima Plateau is not the focus. The Japanese army is not a fool, and from the river to the east coast of the Korean Peninsula, almost all of them are rolling mountains, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we put the main direction of attack on this line, the attack will be slow, and even if we can move forward, we will have to pay a heavy price. ”

"After careful study, the headquarters decided to place the main attack direction on the Sinuiju line, with the purpose of making the Japanese army misjudge. The western coastline of the Korean Peninsula is relatively flat, which is conducive to tank operations, and if we advance quickly to Pyongyang, the Japanese defense line on the Gaima Plateau will not work. Since the Japanese army focused its defense on the line from Sinuiju to Pyongyang, we took him by surprise by treating him in the same way as others. ”

He Zhidao: "The General Staff completely agrees with the judgment of the General Commander and believes that it is more certain to use tank troops to advance on the front line of Sinuiju. Ge Yunfei said: "Shan Feng, do you introduce the situation of the Japanese army to the two front-line commanders?" "Commander Wen and Commander He, according to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, ······. The commander-in-chief informed that there was an operational staff officer in the Japanese army headquarters named Okamura Ninji, and this person was very strategic, and you should pay special attention to this person. ”

Ge Yunfei saw that the two of them were disappreciative and said, "Don't despise this person, he is your real opponent." As far as I know, Okamura Ninji is a representative of the newly rising young Zhuang elite soldiers of the Japanese army, and the retreat of the Japanese army on the Liaodong Peninsula is his masterpiece. In the future, you may suffer from him on the battlefield, so you must not be careless. The details of this person are handed over to you by Shan Summit, and you must study this person carefully! "Subordinate Order!"

"Today, November 30, you still have half a month to prepare, remember, you must do a good job of protecting the troops from the cold, winter combat, and preventing frostbite from soldiers is the top priority. Please rest assured, subordinates do not dare to slack off! The two of them spoke in unison. Li Chenglong stayed in Mukden for a few days, and I want to explain to him in detail the benefits and disadvantages of entering the Korean war. The two of you will leave for the army tonight, hurry up and get ready! "Yes!"
