At noon, Deng Feng and ** had lunch together, four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables: a plate of fried meat with chili and tempeh, and a plate of fried belly. A plate of vinegared crispy cabbage. Chopped pepper enoki mushroom. A bowl of tofu soup stewed with crucian carp caught in the South China Sea. Plus two pieces of tofu. Deng Feng thought in his heart that it was a bit too simple to entertain guests with this meal, too shabby. It's better to empty the canteen.**Eat very little. A small bowl of rice, a few bites of chili peppers from the dish, half a piece of tofu. After eating.** led Deng Feng to the office. Say to the staff around you, "Don't record our conversations. I didn't see anyone in the afternoon."

Two people sit on two single sofas. Deng Feng said: "The chairman brought you a few books this time and some documents on the declassification of the Korean War from the United States and the Soviet Union, have you received them?" ** nodded and said, "Liu Yalou sent it the day before yesterday." Next, Deng Feng talked about the history of the Korean War and the political pattern of the post-war world, although it was mentioned in the problems and measures that should be paid attention to by the volunteers, Deng Feng still put forward his own suggestions on some major issues, such as the current phenomenon of some senior and senior cadres of the volunteers being afraid of the United States, not being resolute in formulating the campaign plan, and even fearing the enemy like a tiger and disobeying orders. Then he told that during the first battle, the task of the 112th Division of the 38th Army was to occupy Heecheon and cut off the retreat of the South Korean Puppet Eighth Division, but when he heard that the Korean People's Army had a black regiment of the American army in Heecheon, he did not dare to come forward and did not verify the situation. After waiting for 4 days, I finally found out where the black regiment came from, and a company of the puppet army had already run away, and the 8th South Korean Division had not completed the interspersed mission. At the post-war summary meeting, he was scolded by Mr. Peng, and only in the second battle did he strongly carry out the order and fight a long live army. But in the second battle, the same thing happened to the 42nd Army, which was originally tasked with inserting into Suncheon and Sucheon. In addition to the small detour of the 38th Army, a big detour will be formed to encircle the entire US 8th Army, and even if our army's firepower cannot completely annihilate the US army, it can annihilate most of it, making the entire Korean war situation more favorable to our army, and at the same time, it will also greatly alleviate the unfavorable situation of the 38th Army fighting on both sides. The 42nd Army encountered the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the US Army while interspersing with Xincangli on the way to Suncheon. Originally, the enemy had a good contact with him, occupying two high grounds, destroying dozens of American troops, destroying three tanks, and then a battalion rushed into the new warehouse and destroyed more than 200 enemies. Own casualties of nearly 300 people. Seeing such large casualties, the regimental commander arbitrarily decided to withdraw from the battle. The front of the 42nd Army faced this situation and discussed it for four whole days. Before the chief of staff of the army went to the army, he still hesitated to convey the commander's resolute orders and supervise the implementation of the orders, feared the enemy like a tiger, and did nothing but disobey the orders of the army commander Wu Ruilin, and even openly disobeyed the orders of the Zhi Division, not only did not complete the interspersed tasks. Most of the U.S. 8th Army was able to escape from Sunchon via Anju. In the end, I watched the 7th Regiment of the American Cavalry slip away in front of my 3 divisions and did nothing. Deng Feng said: "Such an act of blatant disobedience is extremely bad. It must be resolved before our army sends troops to Korea. For those who dare to disobey military orders, no matter how great the credit of the past. How old the qualifications are. No mercy!"

** nodded approvingly and said: "As soon as some of us become officials, we become afraid of wolves and tigers. The little bit of tiger energy on his body is gone. This one has to be greeted first, and we don't punish without teaching".

Then Deng Feng put forward his own views on the blind optimism after the third battle: "Although we have achieved some results in the first three battles, we have fought a defeat battle. And there is no formation to destroy the enemy. Because the enemy did not understand us, he always disengaged with us as quickly as possible when he fought, and took the initiative to retreat to the south of the 38th parallel. But it is these victories that have led to blind optimism up and down. Especially when the U.S. troops withdrew from Seoul and Incheon, we were even more carried away. I really thought I could drive the American troops into the sea in one go. Why doesn't the U.S. military care about the gains and losses of one city and one place in order to tighten its fists. Stretch our battle line and lure me deep into the preset positions in the Nakdong River area. Moreover, the US military has also found some laws and operational characteristics of our army through three campaigns. That is, each attack takes seven or eight days from launch to finish. Start the battle as soon as it gets dark and end the battle at dawn. How can you withstand a night and there is no danger. Of course, this is determined by the supply situation of our army and the lack of air supremacy. Among the books I gave you is the memoirs of Li Weiqi, who later became the commander of the U.S. Eighth Army. Of course, there is also a bragging element in it"** nodded.

Deng Feng continued: "The Fourth Campaign was to reluctantly launch a campaign south of the 38th Parallel in disregard of the fatigue of our army's continuous battles and the lack of self-replenishment. The enemy launched a counterattack. Our army suffered great losses. was beaten back to the 38th parallel. More importantly, through this campaign, the US army found the weakness of our army. Confidence was restored. The fifth campaign did not learn the lessons of the defeat of the fourth campaign. Completely ignoring the backwardness of our army's communications and insufficient logistical support. The fact that the chain of command is chaotic, the maneuver is not strong, and there is no air supremacy. More than 1 million troops were invested in an area as large as North Korea, and the troops could not be deployed at all, trying to retake Seoul and fight back to the 37th parallel. This time, the U.S. troops calculated that they would retreat at a speed of 30 kilometers a day, which was exactly the distance of our army's overnight march. And I didn't see at all the tactics adopted by the U.S. military to lure me in, constantly consuming our troops on the march, and attacking with the rhythm of the U.S. army's 'retreat'. When the enemy counterattacked, the offensive of our troops turned into a rout with heavy casualties. More than 10,000 people were captured, the 180th Division was almost wiped out, and Wu Chengde, director of the Political Department of the 180th Division of the 60th Army, was captured.

** With a heavy face and said, "These lessons are heavy. What do you think is the time to fight?" Chairman, you are the greatest military strategist of our time, and your military thinking has always been the object of study by all [***] experts in the world in later generations. What I'm saying is also a little bit of experience in studying your military thinking."

** waved his hand and said: "Am I not as great as you say, those are all from countless blood lessons, and they are the embodiment of China's [***] collective wisdom."" Chair, the strategy and tactics you have developed are no problem and some of the problems that occurred in the implementation were avoided. I think that after we secretly entered the DPRK, we will preset a battlefield on each of the eastern and western fronts in advance, and if possible, do a good job in battlefield construction and material posture reserves. Of course, in the process, it is inevitable that there will be some contact with the enemy. Before we are ready, we try to avoid contact as much as possible, we can take the initiative to retreat, and after we are ready, we will fight two or three big battles of annihilation within this preset battlefield. It is best to aim for the total destruction of 4-5 divisions of the enemy. And when our air force began to attack on the ground, it also activated the combat plan of our base at the same time. What will happen to the enemy with such a sudden, violent and completely unexpected blow? I think the enemy will be completely stunned for a while. It's just that it's not confused. After being destroyed 4-5 divisions of aircraft carriers, it is no longer able to fight. You can only go back to the south first. It may also end up being returned to the original version. Because in Asia it is still the most important thing for them. If we don't retreat, we will build a defensive line along the 38th parallel. Establishment of a strategic buffer zone in our country. Let's set the bottom line at the 38th line. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended. Then he advanced steadily, and gradually handed over the offensive task to Jin Yuecheng. Let's not be wronged. Carrying this burden of gold. It's a burden on your back that you can't fall off for decades. There are endless troubles."" "** struck a match and lit a cigarette. Stand up and measure your steps. He said to himself, "We are [***] people, should we fulfill our internationalist obligations?" We are not obligated to do so. There are no eternal friends between nations. There is only forever, only interests," Deng Feng blurted out. We sent troops to Korea because the Americans crossed the 38th parallel. The threat to the security of our country was lifted, and the Americans returned to the 38th parallel. Why do we impose internationalist obligations on ourselves? Resisting US aggression and aiding Korea is the means, and defending the country is our goal." At this time, Deng Feng said desperately: "We are Chinese [***] people, but first of all, we are Chinese. Every soldier who sacrificed his life is the most outstanding son and daughter of the Chinese nation. Every one of our bullets was bought from the USSR . Every grain of grain is bought by our farmers with their own hard work. Every penny we spend is the blood and sweat of the people of the whole country. We must not use all this to fulfill any internationalist obligations." After saying that, both of them were stunned. No one dares to speak like this in front of **. Deng Feng also immediately realized that what he said was too crazy.** Soon returned to normal, he said humorously: "Wen is dead, martial arts are fighting to the death, I didn't expect you, a general, to risk death to admonish. But you're right. Our power is given by the people. No one can abuse it."" Chairman, I beg your pardon for my impulsiveness, you are a great proletarian revolutionary. Although I have been a member of the party for 20 years. But I'm just the most ordinary Chinese. The problem is only from the perspective of an ordinary Chinese person," Deng Feng said sincerely.

** waved his hand as if wiping the table and said, "Rare and valuable. Rare. It's rare to hear as outspoken as you now."
