Chapter 367: Problems within the North Korean Party
The 18th Armored Brigade and the 8th Division and the 6th Division of the 4th Army Corps of the Korean People's Army, which were advancing south along the Yongcheon-Seoul road and railway, arrived at Uijeongaxe, a satellite city 8 kilometers northeast of Seoul, at 13 p.m. on 10 March. The 8th Division bypassed the council axe and surrounded Seoul from the east.
At this point, only 18 hours after the start of the war, the Korean People's Army had completed the encirclement of Seoul, the capital of South Korea, on all sides. Subsequently, hundreds of thousands of Korean People's troops poured into South Korea like a tidal wave.
The South Korean National Martial Law Command, which is based at the headquarters of the South Korean Army, was hit by a devastating blow in the first round of air raids at the beginning of the war. The "decapitation" operation was carried out by Senior Colonel Yang Zhe, deputy head of the Korean People's Army Advisory Group of the Far East Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
A "saboteur" bomber painted with the Korean People's Army logo personally piloted by Senior Colonel Yang Chol, carrying four laser-guided 225-kilogram thermobaric bombs with slender bodies, took off from Pyongyang airfield, and after crossing 38 kilometers from 38 km, it successively fired these four thermobaric missiles at the South Korean Army Headquarters, the nest of the "two devils" whose hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese people.
These four thermoexplosive warheads, along with the laser beams of the laser target designators set by the Flying Leopard Special Combat Team, drilled into the nearly one-meter-thick reinforced concrete wall of the army headquarters from different angles, and the fuses of the warheads detonated one after another in l20 milliseconds after penetrating the wall, instantly emitting huge incandescent flames like four small suns.
The high temperature and high pressure generated by the explosion quickly spread from the explosion point to all directions, entering all the spaces of the army headquarters through all ventilation parts, and the scorching high temperature caused the people here to be deeply burned on the epidermis, and the super high pressure can cause the internal organs of the people here to rupture, and the fierce burning consumes all the oxygen in the space, so that those who are shocked to death even if they are not burned to death.
More than a dozen ringleaders who participated in the coup, including Jang Chang-guk, deputy commander-in-chief of the ROK's First Army, and Kim Jong, commander of the reserve army, became black charcoal with a very hideous appearance.
The initiator and commander of the military coup, Chung Il-kwon, chief of staff of the South Korean Joint General Staff Headquarters and commander-in-chief of the ROK's national martial law command, and Kim Sung-eun, the south Korean defense minister, who did not "go to work" at the martial law headquarters for some unknown reason, escaped this catastrophe.
Defense Minister Kim Sung-eun escaped this catastrophe, but he did not escape the people's punishment of him after all. On his way to "work" in the morning, the air raid siren sounded, and he hurriedly stopped the car, and under the protection of a driver and two guards, he hid in a nearby air-raid shelter. Kim Sung-eun's driver, two guards, three unlucky guys, was immediately shot to death by the guerrillas, and Kim Sung-eun was also shot in the abdomen, and after three hours of painful torture, he was hanged by the guerrillas on a large elm tree on the side of the street.
When he learned that the Korean People's Army had surrounded Seoul from all sides, he knew that he could no longer support it, and that the South Korean [***] team leaving the US military was like a dog with a broken backbone, which had no effect except being able to eat and pull. Now the only thing he can do is to flee for his life quickly, he changed into civilian clothes, and took the place of two reliable guards, in the name of inspecting the front. With more than 500,000 US dollars looted in the past few days, he left the Beiyue Mountain air-raid shelter and left the heavy military protection, and his life entered the countdown.
From the moment Kim Jong-mi heard that Ding Yiquan announced a military coup d'état on the morning of March 3 and deprived him of his rights, he wanted to put Ding Yiquan to death as soon as possible, so he sent top agents of the Central Intelligence Department to keep an eye on his every move, but he was suffering from the fact that the defense around him was too tight and had no chance. When Ding Yiquan left the Blue House this time, he was attacked by agents of the South Korean Central Intelligence Department, and an M20 88.9 mm rocket hit the 1961 "Lincoln" brand high-grade bulletproof car in which Ding Yiquan was riding, and immediately tore the car to pieces, and Ding Yiquan and his personal guard were not spared.
The death of Ding Yiquan means that the South Korean army has lost, organized, planned resistance. Half an hour after the attack, Kim Jong-mi announced through Chuncheon Radio that South Korea's martial law commander-in-chief, Ding Yiquan, had been killed near the Blue House in Chuncheon, near the 38th parallel. In the name of the head of the South Korean Central Intelligence Department, he ordered the officers of the South Korean intelligence system to surrender to the Korean People's Army.
The South Korean army, which was already in a depressed mood, lost the head of Ding Yiquan and became even more "Goryeo's crotch in a pile to the end." Now that big spy leaders like Kim Jong-mi, the head of the South Korean Central Intelligence Department, have surrendered, and they are still using their own heads, what kind of jb eggs are they talking about. Surrender too.
"The power of example is endless" in the South Korean army, police, and constitution, except for a few die-hard elements who have a bitter hatred with [***]. They laid down their arms, walked out of their positions, and surrendered to the Korean People's Army. The South Korean army in Seoul could not find the Korean People's Army for a while, so they simply surrendered to the Seoul People's Army and the "Committee for Promoting Reunification of the People of South Korea."
The Korean People's Army occupied Seoul without bloodshed. In the basement of the Cheong Wa Dae puppet presidential palace, he found the "acting president of South Korea" Choi Doo-sun and asked him to order all the armed forces of South Korea and the staff of the former political axe to surrender to the Korean People's Army in the name of "legal political axe".
This military coup d'état was extremely short-lived, and it was announced that Nakajima Kazuquan, chief of staff of the South Korean Joint Staff Headquarters, had become the commander of the South Korean National Martial Law Department headed by him, and less than a week after the first martial law was announced, he was guillotined in history, ending his criminal life.
Less than 16 years after its establishment in August 1948, South Korea, a puppet political axe raised by the United States, collapsed with a bang, as its American masters withdrew from Asia.
This operation to liberate south Korea and unify the entire Korean Peninsula was part of the "Warwick Operation" planned by Deng Feng and others, and it was also the final work of the "Warwick Operation" plan. The battle to liberate south Korea was planned and commanded by Lieutenant General Zhang Tao, former director of the base operations room and now chief of staff of the Far East Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, with the direct participation of nearly 500 personnel of the Far East Corps, including Yang Guang and Yang Zhe.
The whole operation began with the assassination of Park Chung-hee, the strongman of South Korea, in order to create chaos at the top of South Korea and a momentary power vacuum, during which the underground party of North Korea in South Korea launched a student movement to demand freedom and a movement for peaceful reunification between the North and the South in an effort to gain the moral high ground.
It is normal for the south Korean authorities to adopt "military control" during this extraordinary period of time in a chaotic situation in which the "president" and students have just been "making trouble" under abnormal circumstances, and any ruling authority will take tough measures to maintain its stability. This has "objectively" created a high-sounding, justifiable, and long-awaited excuse for North Korean troops to enter South Korea to quell the turmoil and take over the South Korean regime. Moreover, Deng Feng's plan, Ding Yiquan's gang said that the remnants of militarism were very well coordinated. In particular, the 3.7 Han River incident was particularly prominent, and the whole world was helped by North Korea's military operation, and no one would support a political axe that used tanks to crush the past from its own people. At least on the surface, no one supports it.
The gunfire that rang out on the 38th parallel on 9 March was an outburst of long-stored anger on the Korean Peninsula and an unprecedented outburst of anger against the enemies who sought to bring about the dark age of the period of imperialist rule. It was this anger that turned into a terrible force, and in less than a month, the Korean People's Army, with the vigorous cooperation of the people of South Korea, swept away all the remnants of the old world throughout the territory of South Korea. South Korea was completely liberated.
What's next for the Korean Peninsula to make peace? Is it the independent development of reading power and the "three thousand miles of rivers and mountains" or the return to Greater China. This has created great divisions within the Korean Peninsula and the Workers' Party of Korea. There are also historical reasons for this disagreement.
The Workers' Party of Korea is mainly composed of the Yan'an, Soviet, Manchurian guerrilla factions and the South Korean Workers' Party of Korea.
In 1941, with the central part of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation Zhou Bao, he was transferred to Shuangchengzi in the Far East of the Soviet Union, and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army Teaching Brigade and the Northeast Committee of China [***] were established in Shuangchengzi, where Zhou Baozhong was the brigade commander. In teaching, Jin Yuecheng should belong to the "middle-level cadre" and is only a battalion commander of the brigade. Awarded the rank of captain.
At the end of July 1945, according to the needs of the development of the situation, the Northeast Committee of China divided its original members into the Northeast Working Group and the Korean Working Group. Led the Soviet army into the Northeast and Korea, respectively. In this way, a part of the cadres and fighters of the Korean nationality were divided into the Korean working group and marched into Korea with the Soviet army. This was the so-called Manchurian guerrilla faction.
Rather [***] head, not a phoenix tail, hang a butt curtain, and it is also a flag. After the unconditional surrender of the book, the northern part of Korea was liberated. Jin Yuecheng took the lead in putting forward the idea of building the party, the country, and the army. His idea was strongly supported by the Soviet Union, and on October 10, 1945, the North Korean Organizing Committee of North Korea was established, with Kim Say-sung as the first secretary. Later, he merged with the New People's Party of Korea to form the Workers' Party of North Korea, and was elected general secretary of the Central Committee, completing the first step of secession from China. On February 8, 1948, with the help of the 25th Soviet Army, the Provisional People's Committee of North Korea was established and he became its chairman. On February 8, 1948, the Korean People's Group Army was established. Therefore, the Manchurian partisan faction, with the support of the Soviet Union, occupied an important position in the Korean party.
In North Korea, it was mainly the well-known Yan'an faction that posed a threat to Kim Yuecheng's rights. This faction was mainly from 1945 to 1950, at the request of Kim Yuecheng, Chinese [***] Korean soldiers and cadres in China went to Korea to participate in the Korean revolution, the old Chinese people who originally participated in China [***] and the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the New Fourth Army, and the first Chinese Koreans who participated in the old revolution of the Northern Expedition. The main figures include Wu Ting, Kim Doo-bong, and Cui Chang-yi, most of whom have a very close relationship with the supreme chief, Lin B, Peng Dehuai, etc., and most of them are cadres trained by [***]. A large number of these people are older than Kim Yuecheng's qualifications, have participated in the revolution for a long time, and hold much higher positions than him. Jin Yuecheng is just a small battalion commander of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and if he compares with these old revolutionaries of the Yan'an faction, I am afraid that he will not even have the qualifications to compare. However, he took advantage of the fact that he was the first to lead the way for the Soviet troops to enter Korea and spent several years in the Soviet Union and could speak a few words of Russian.
In history, from the beginning to the end of the Korean Liberation War in 1950, Kim Yuecheng established his prestige and vigorously purged all factions in the North Korean party, because he did not get the support of the [***] team, the Yan'an faction naturally did not survive, these cadres and fighters of the Yan'an faction were treated extremely unfairly, and were purged and slaughtered by Kim Yuecheng, according to the later declassified internal Soviet documents, Kim Yuecheng's purge process: within a month, more than 2,000 people were purged, More than 400 of them were publicly shot in the name of opposing the North Korean political system.
In 1951, on the grounds of "the loss of Pyongyang" and "ineffective combat", Kim Yuecheng relieved Wu Ting, the most powerful figure of the Yan'an faction, deputy minister of national defense and commander of the artillery of the People's Army, from power. It was in 1925, at the age of 20, he gave up his position as lieutenant colonel of artillery in the ranks of the Central [***] valve, and resolutely joined the Chinese [***], one of the founders of the Chinese Red Army Artillery, who saved the life of the Central Red Army in the hands of Zhang Guotao during the Long March. He is the only veteran Red Army of the Korean nationality who survived the 25,000-mile Long March, and he has been a hero who has experienced a hundred battles and performed many miraculous feats, leaving a strong mark in the annals of the Chinese revolution.
After the "base" came to this era, to a certain extent, it avoided the catastrophe of some people of the Yan'an faction in the North Korean party. Protected some of these Korean cadres and fighters who had made significant contributions to the Chinese revolution.
Persecuted in 1951, Peng Dehuai, one of the founders of the Chinese Red Army artillery, was taken to Dandong, where doctors at the base hospital successfully performed a two-thirds gastric resection for him. His life did not end with a violent attack of an old stomach ulcer during the Long March, and he did not die in October 1952 in the most ordinary bed of a North Korean field hospital. After he recovered from his illness, he was arranged by Mr. Peng to serve as vice president of the Artillery Command College of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
At the 16th Plenary Session of the 2nd Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea in April 1955, Pak Il-woo, who was considered to be the personal representative of Mao Zd, was also dismissed from his post.
In his early years, Pak Il-woo participated in the revolution in northeast China, served as the secretary of the county party committee of the anti-Japanese base area behind enemy lines, served as a senator of the political axe of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, and was a representative of the "Seventh National Congress" of China. In March 1946, according to the "Provisional Plan for the Establishment of the Korean Volunteers" of the Northeast Bureau of the Central Committee, he was ordered to lead 2,000 backbone members of the Korean Volunteers to North Korea. Later, he was elected as the Political Commissar of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea when he served as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior of the Cabinet of the People's Republic of Korea. In October 1950, after the Chinese People's Volunteers entered the Korean War, he was appointed by the [***] Central Committee as deputy commander and deputy political commissar of the Chinese People's Volunteers, deputy secretary of the [***] Chinese People's Volunteers Committee, deputy commander of the Korean People's Army Front Command in November, deputy political commissar of the Joint Command of the Chinese People's Volunteers and the Korean People's Army in December, and was promoted to the rank of deputy marshal in 1953 At the 16th Plenary Session of the Second Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, Park Ilwoo was severely criticized: "Among those who have returned from China, People like Park Il-woo can be considered a typical example. He appointed himself as a representative figure from the Chinese and said that he had not promoted more comrades from China as cadres. They did not get along with the people from the Soviet Union, and so on, trying to rally comrades with weak class consciousness around themselves and sneakily engage in those shady deeds." "In the Workers' Party of Korea, we will never allow a person like Pak Il-woo to regard himself as a representative of a certain figure or a certain force."
At the 16th Plenary Session of the 2nd Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, Pak Il-woo was publicly declared by Kim Yue-sung to be an "anti-party sectarian" and expelled from the party and removed from all posts inside and outside the party. Later, he was executed by Kim Yuecheng "for adhering to the wrong line of opposing the party."
In order to prevent the recurrence of this historical tragedy, during the 16th Plenary Session of the 2nd Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, Li Dawei personally went to North Korea to bring this outstanding international fighter Pak Il-woo back to China, and sternly warned Kim Yue-sung that if you dare to persecute the Yan'an cadres again, you will be allowed to move your head. Due to Li Dawei's timely arrival, Park Yiyu escaped this catastrophe in history, and was later arranged by Deng Feng and Li Dawei to work in the International Communist Department of the Indian Special Service Committee, and after the establishment of the Shannan Special Economic Zone, he served as the director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Special Administrative Region.
