Chapter 30: War Without a Declaration

China's decision to secretly send troops to the DPRK in the name of the Volunteer Army was based on two considerations.

Strategically: China's dispatch of troops was completely forced by the United States, but China still has to try to avoid a full-scale war with the United States, and China's decision to send troops in the name of the Volunteer Army is not an act of Chinese political axe, at least on the surface. It is not a war between countries, the behavior of the volunteers is completely a personal act of the people, and if they cannot win the war, they can be returned. This can be seen from Wu Xiuquan's speech at the UN General Assembly in November 50: "The Chinese people cannot ignore the serious state of US political aggression against Korea and the dangerous trend of expanding the war. Seeing that Taiwan was being invaded and that the flames of the US war of aggression against Korea were rapidly burning against themselves, the Chinese people were aroused by righteous indignation and expressed their willingness to help the Korean people and resist US aggression. There is no reason for the Chinese civil axe to prevent them from volunteering to go to Korea to participate in the great liberation struggle of the Korean people against US aggression under the command of the political axe of the Korean Myeongzhuo People's Republic. "It was only during Nixon's visit to China in '72 that Zhou Enlai admitted that he was the regular army of the Chinese political axe faction.

Tactically: in order to ensure the sudden surname of the campaign. in order to achieve greater results. It is required that the matter of sending troops should be tightened inside and loosened outside, only done and not said, and proceeded in concealment, and did not engage in external propaganda. The Chinese volunteers' secret crossing of the river and large-scale participation in the war were unexpected by the US military, or rather, MacArthur, the "god of war", did not treat the Chinese [***] team as a dish at all and ignored the past.

North Korea is a long and narrow country, high in the east and low in the west, high in the north and low in the south, with mountains crisscrossing the middle and coasts on both sides. The Eighth Army of the US Army, carrying heavy weapons, was inconvenient for walking in the mountainous areas, and could only advance northward along the roads and railways along the western coast, while the Volunteer Army, which did not have much heavy equipment, walked freely in the vast mountainous areas where the enemy could not reach, and marched southward.

On November 1, the Shiji Division has completed the entire campaign arrangement. The vast majority of them have already entered the predetermined area, as our Ninth Corps is not yet fully in place. As agreed with Kim Yue-sung, the Korean People's Army (KPA) would establish a defensive position in the area around Hwangcholing, hold the road from Hamhung to Changjin and Jiangjie, block the southward advance of the 1st Marine Division of the United States, and set up defensive lines on the hills on both sides of the road from Hamhung to Ninyuan, thus cutting off the only road that the enemy on the eastern front could use to support to the west. The requirements must be strictly guarded. After the 42nd Army crossed the river from Ji'an, it secretly marched in the direction of Daxing in the southwest, and concealed in the areas of Ningyuan and Beicangli. After the battle was sent, it occupied Ningyuan and Beichangli, and then quickly marched to Sunchon and Sucheon, cutting off the retreat of the US Eighth Army at all costs.The 38th Army secretly advanced in the direction of Tokugawa in the southwest, quietly lurking in the area around Tokugawa, and after the battle was launched, it quickly launched an attack on the Tokugawa South Korean Seventh Division, occupied and held the Tokugawa 40th Army at all costs in the northeast direction of Heecheon, and launched an attack on the South Korean Eighth Division of Heecheon after the campaign was launched, and after succeeding, it attacked and advanced in the southwest direction, moving closer to the 38th and 42ndAt the same time, the enemy's strategic space was compressed, and the two armies were reinforced to close the enemy's southern retreat gate tightly, and the 39th Army launched an attack on the enemy's South Korean Sixth Division and the American Cavalry Division at Unsan and Onjeong after the launch of the battle, and launched an attack on the 24th Division of the United States in Qinchuan after the campaign was launched, and it was not allowed to disengage from the enemy, and the 50th Army was concealed in the Yichuan section of the Yichuan to Sinuiju railway, and occupied Yichuan to cut off the retreat of the British 27th Brigade to the south after the campaign was launched. Total annihilation of the British 27th Brigade.

Prior to this, he reiterated the battlefield discipline to the cadres at the regimental level: "Fear the enemy and not move forward, no matter how old the qualifications are, no matter how great the merits, the death order will be unforgivable."

The Central People's Political Axe of the People's Republic of China on the treatment of military martyrs and the decision on the establishment of memorial halls for people's heroes in cities and counties across the country were conveyed to the whole army, and were warmly welcomed by the vast number of commanders and fighters. What a glory that is. Who doesn't want to be worshiped like a god after death? The county magistrate and the township magistrate have to kowtow to Lao Tzu every year to burn incense. It's worth dying. The warriors of that era were simple!

The enemy was completely unaware that great danger was on his side. On 26 October, a patrol of the 6th Division of the Second Army of South Korea arrived at Chusan on the banks of the Yalu River, and they were ecstatic to take out a small DD from their big trousers and rush to the opposite bank to urinate on the Yalu River. One of the pots was given to their president as a souvenir. On October 30, President Syngman Rhee attended a welcoming ceremony in Pyongyang, where he took out the pot of water and enjoyed drinking it with his senior officials with his soldiers' urea. And bravely cheered and hugged the citizens of the North Korean capital. After returning to Seoul, his wife found a louse while undressing him, and he said, "I brought you a guest from Pyongyang, and it probably got into my clothes when I hugged the citizens of Pyongyang, so I would like to give it to you as a memento." ”

According to the research of authoritative archaeological experts in H country in later generations, this lice was born noble, had pure blood, worked on Julius Caesar in Rome, and was the pet of Julius Caesar, and later passed on to the famous woman of H country due to some contact. Unfortunately, due to the war, he was displaced by the people. Through the contact between the president and the citizens, he returned to the wealthy family. Therefore, it is a national treasure of H country, which is equivalent to China's giant panda. to submit an application to the United Nations Animal Protection Organization for inclusion in the Inventory of World Endangered Species."

At nine o'clock in the evening of 1 November, Peng Dehuai, commander of the Chinese People's Volunteers, issued an order to the whole army to attack on all fronts.

More than 300,000 troops, from the hidden mine tunnels, trenches, and dense forests, like cheetahs attacking one by one, silently approached their prey, quietly entered the attack position, loaded their bullets, knives out of their sheaths, ready to pounce on the enemy and tear the enemy apart. One artillery piece of artillery ripped off the camouflage, and the black hole of the cannon was aimed at the enemy camp.

On November 1, when the last rays of the sun disappeared behind the mountains, the base of the D1 Corps of the Volunteer Air Force did not stop busy. One after another, fighter planes draped in missiles were towed to the airport, and dozens of various support vehicles shuttled to the runway and auxiliary lanes, filling the planes with sufficient fuel. The mechanics of the maintenance team are doing the final inspection of the mechanical, electrical and electronic equipment of the aircraft. Navigation stations, control towers, and beacon stations are also constantly collecting and checking weather conditions.

Air Police-2000, at this time parked on the take-off line west of the runway of the airport. Political Commissar Chang Qiankun accompanied Liu Yalou and his party. Under the plane, Wang Kunpeng, chief of staff, and other members of the Air Police 2000 crew saw them off.

For the first time, this group of people experienced this aerial giant, the Air Police-2000, at close range, and was affectionately called the majestic big mushroom fighter by the officers and soldiers of the base. Liu Yalou and Chang Qiankun knew that in Deng Feng's time, this air command plane was also the most advanced. Its service filled the gap that the PLA was not equipped with early warning aircraft at that time, and its advanced radar technology also shocked the world. This big mushroom early warning aircraft uses a solid-state active phase-ready array radar, a high-speed data processing computer, etc. Although they still don't understand these things yet, from Wang Kunpeng's introduction full of pride, he still feels that it is advanced.

Wang Kunpeng pointed to the big mushroom and said, "This radar antenna is fixed. It is equipped with a multifunctional three-coordinate Doppler pulse radar, which can carry out omnidirectional detection, mainly used to find and track air and surface targets, and operates at a frequency of 1200 to 1400 MHz. The airborne antenna system consists of three solid-state active phased array antennas set in a fixed radome with a diameter of 14 meters, and the maximum detection range of air targets is 570 km. His radar system can simultaneously track 60-100 air targets, including low-altitude ones, and provide guidance to 10 aircraft of the tactical air force. ”

Liu Yalou and his entourage looked at the behemoth in front of them.

The nose of the Air Police-2000 is a pilot cabin with a large number of observation windows, and a circular radome underneath. Liu Yalou and Chang Qiankun learned from the information: "The aircraft can continue to be on duty at an altitude of 5,000-10,000 meters at a speed of 600-700 km/h for 7-8 hours. If it is replenished by tankers in the air, its patrol time will be greatly increased. The maximum flight weight is 195 tons.

Wang Kunpeng emphatically introduced to them that in order to blindfold the enemy's "eyes" in wartime, the most important thing is to find out the electronic spectrum of the opponent's weapons, which requires them to capture their signals in advance for storage and analysis. In wartime, it can interfere with the other side's communications."

Wang Kunpeng looked at his watch and said, "There is still some time to take you up to have a look." They boarded the Air Police 2000 for the first time. Seeing that there were all kinds of equipment in the cabin, it was slightly crowded, and the crew were nervous and orderly making various preparations before takeoff.

Wang Kunpeng pointed to some equipment and said: This is a communications and data transmission system composed of basic equipment and supplementary equipment, which can ensure the exchange of data between early warning planes and combat planes and the computers of the automated command systems of other arms, and in addition, it can also enable the crew and crew to exchange information with each other. "Then he pointed to some equipment and said, this is an ultra-short-wave radio station with a maximum communication distance of 450 kilometers, and that is a short-wave radio station with a maximum communication distance of 2,000 kilometers, and that one over there is"

Finally, I came to the cockpit and gave a brief introduction to the equipment in the cockpit.

Chang Qiankun sat in the captain's seat and looked for his feelings and asked, "Is this easy to fly?" “

Wang Kunpeng said: "It's very difficult to fly. Because the weight distribution of the aircraft has changed. When you have time, you can read the flight manual.

Chang Qiankun stood up and said, "Okay, I really hope that one day I can fly your Air Police 2000." The scheduled departure time is almost up. I wish you a victorious start and success! I'll give you a celebration when you come back. "On behalf of the Air Police 2000 crew, I would like to thank you. Commander Liu, Standing Political Commissar to see off our crew."

At this time, the war room was also busy, Deng Feng sat on the command seat, looking at the divisions of various departments on the big screen. image, Deng Feng cut the radar signal to the full screen and looked at the picture carefully.

At this time, the air police 2000 picture and Wang Kunpeng's voice came: da101, da102 are ready, everything is normal, and take off.

Deng Feng looked at the time on the big screen: 19:30:00 on November 1, 1950. Answered: "It can take off"

In 2000, the Air Police rushed out of the starting line and took off with the agility of his huge body.

Two minutes later, the two J10 fighters were fully armed, and they also took off lightly to escort them.
