Named after the green of its water like the feathers on a duck's head, the Yalu River is located on the eastern border of Jilin Province and Liaoning Province in China, and is the boundary river between China and North Korea. It originates from the foothills of the Rouge Mountain in the southeast of Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, flows northeast along the southwest, and flows south into the Yellow Sea near Donggang in Liaoning. The main stream of the Yalu River is 795 kilometers long. The green peaks on both sides of the Yalu River are towering, the scenery is charming, the river is meandering, and the rapids and rapids are continuous. It is a great place with beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery.
But at this time, on both sides of the river, the biggest life-and-death battle after World War II was being bred. On the south side of the river, the United States led the United States [***], four corps, the United States, the United States, the United States, the first cavalry division, two brigades, the British 27th brigade, and the Turkish brigade. A 187 airborne regiment. More than 100,000 people are marching towards the Yalu River.
And on the north side of the river, the six armies of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army with nearly 300,000 troops are under the cover of night. The three-way army also began to secretly cross the river. Among them are the three tigers of Lin B, 38, 39, 40 armies. The number one workhorse of the People's Liberation Army.
On October 11, 1950, the 1st Division of the 42nd Army of the Chinese People's Volunteers, disguised as the Korean People's Army and as the vanguard of the Chinese People's Volunteers, took the lead in entering North Korea from the border railway bridge in Jilin. Subsequently, at about 9:30 p.m. on October 18, the follow-up units of the 42nd Army of the Chinese People's Volunteers, the 38th Army of the Chinese People's Volunteers, and the 2nd Artillery Division of the Chinese People's Volunteers also entered Korea on a large scale secretly from the Jing'an Port.
Located around Lagu Whistle Village, Changdian Town, Kuandian County, Liaoning Province, it also gathered the 40th Army and the 39th Army of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. The first artillery division of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, more than 100,000 horses. It is because there is a hydropower station here - Changdian Estuary Hydropower Station, which is the earliest hydroelectric power station built in the Yalu River basin. Construction began in 1937 and was completed in 1943. The maximum dam is 106 meters, the crest of the dam is 900 meters long, the crest of the dam is 8.5 meters wide, the maximum water storage capacity is 14.6 billion cubic meters, the maximum allowable water level is 130.45 meters, and the power plant is built on the left bank of the Tianjiang River in North Korea. At 9:30 p.m. on October 18, the 40th Army of the Chinese People's Volunteers was the first to quickly and secretly enter Korea through the barrage dam and march southward.
Andong was later renamed Dandong, near the Yalu River estuary and connected to Sinuiju in North Korea across the river, is a border town with green waters and green mountains, at this time here thousands of horses galloping, the streets are cloaked in camouflage nets and artillery military vehicles, to the riverside assembly. At 9:30 p.m. on October 18, the 8th Artillery Division of the Chinese People's Volunteers, the 66th Army and the 50th Chinese People's Volunteers Army, as the campaign reserve of the Chinese People's Volunteers, did not enter Korea in the second batch on October 25 and 26 as in history, but became the first batch of troops to enter the DPRK seven days ahead of schedule like the 38th, 39th, 40th, and 42nd armies. Secretly advancing towards Korea through the Andong-Sinuiju bridge, the 50th Army advanced along the west coast of Korea in the direction of Yicheon, searching, and the 66th Army rushed in the direction of South Jincheon. Due to the lack of air supremacy, the secret march to North Korea could only start at 9 p.m. and end at 4 p.m. the next day to complete the camouflage. Three divisions of North Korea can enter each night.
At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon of October 19, in the Zhenjiangshan Guest House in the northeast of Anbei, Deng Hua, Han Xianchu, Hong Xuezhi and others were nervous subordinates to enter the DPRK. At this time, a staff officer ran in and said, "Here it is! Here comes a plane like a big dragonfly!" Everyone then walked to the window and looked out. Sure enough, there was a big dragonfly-like plane with flowers and beards in front of the guest house, and then a group of people dressed in the same flowers and beards came down from above. Most of the people were busy moving large and small boxes down, Deng Hua and they saw that Liu Yalou and a person walked side by side towards the guest house. They hurried out.
Deng Hua stepped forward and held Liu Yalou tightly, saying, "Chief of Staff, you are more powerful when you wear this flowery dress." What kind of flowers, this is called autumn camouflage clothes," Liu Yalou said proudly.
The meeting of old comrades-in-arms was inevitably a cold noise, and Liu Yalou hurriedly introduced Deng Feng to everyone.
Hong Xuezhi pointed to M171 and said to Liu Yalou: "I've heard that there is an airplane called a helicopter, it's this thing, I didn't expect it to be so big."
Liu Yalou said: "Don't be busy looking at the freshness first, find someone to help move things down. And then disguise him."
Deng Hua smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about these as an air force commander. Doan sent it well. In the afternoon, this piece was under martial law. The offices and dormitories of the Air Force Liaison Group are arranged in this guest house, what do you think?"
Deng Feng immediately asked, "Is the Zhi Headquarters also located here?"
Deng Hua said: It's not decided yet, look at Mr. Peng like this. He hasn't come back yet, he's rushing back, and it's estimated that it's 5 or 6 o'clock. Let's go, go first"
After everyone enters the house and sits down. Deng Hua asked, "How is Commander Liu's Air Force preparing?" When will we see our own plane? We've been in the court since last night."
Liu Yalou looked at Deng Hua and said: "The air force is ready and can be dispatched at any time, the key is to see when you launch a large-scale attack. We are from the ground, from the air. At the same time at sea to the United States-led UN forces to come to full bloom. Beat him up and beat him back to the 38th parallel. The question of when we can see our plane is very simple, isn't there just one parked outside now, let's see it if you want to" everyone laughed.
Deng Feng said: "There is a drone team in the liaison team we sent this time, just to match the early action of Shiji, he will provide Shiji with aerial photography data, which will be of great help to Shiji to quickly and accurately grasp the enemy's situation and our situation. It can also provide our army with a communication relay and provide artillery with the enemy's coordinates and bearings and the point of impact."
Deng Hua, who was puzzled, interjected and asked: "What drone, how can no one fly?"
Deng Feng explained to Deng Hua that this drone is an aircraft controlled by ground personnel through radio remote control devices. It can clearly and accurately know the movements and strength of the enemy around it and the state of our side, so that the commander can make the most reasonable tactical arrangements, use his strength most effectively, and launch deadly attacks on the enemy's weakest link to obtain the greatest results. The two D1WS200s that we are now allotting to Shiji are produced by the D1 Army Repair Shop in Shiku. This aircraft has the characteristics of long endurance, large load, relatively low price, and simple use, and is an excellent air platform for caste. It can be used for surveillance reconnaissance, wireless relay, electronic jamming, etc. The body is made of FRP molding process, and the local aluminum strip is strengthened to ensure the overall strength; The wing adopts paper honeycomb FRP structure; The tail adopts a double tail brace type; The power plant is D1WS-400 engine, which adopts the control damper mode, so that the aircraft can fly at fuel-saving and economical speed, and the interstellar positioning and navigation system, course, altitude sensor and other equipment on board, the aircraft is equipped with a high-definition camera system, a forward-looking infrared device, an image transmission device, a small laser rangefinder and other devices. Ground equipment includes: rocket flight aids, take-off and launch frames, remote control equipment, image and telemetry signal receiving equipment, portable computers and portable generators. The UAV can not only take off and land at airports, but also use rocket-boosted launch and parachute airbag shock absorption and recovery in field conditions. This UAV is 3.2 meters long, has a wingspan of 4.8 meters, a maximum take-off weight of 100 kg, a maximum level flight speed of 50 m/s, a maximum flight altitude of 5,000 meters, a flight time of 6-8 hours, and a control radius of 150-200 kilometers. The photos taken by the D1WS200 drone show that every cabbage in the field is clearly visible. ”
After listening to Deng Feng's brief introduction, Han Xianchu said: We don't know much about this equipment and that equipment."
Liu Yalou took it and said: "You will definitely not understand this high-tech thing for a while, Commander Deng told you, it would be good if you could understand it." What help do you need and the director of the liaison group Zhang Tao said on the line. If nothing is inconvenient, let him participate in your battle meeting, and he will know what support he can provide you. You must fully respect these people, they are the treasures of the country, you must take good care of them, according to the standards of Soviet experts, there is also the issue of security and confidentiality, tell the people below them to inquire less about their affairs, and the confidentiality work should be taken care of by a special person. It is necessary to use party discipline and life as a guarantee. These two points are set by the chairman, so don't take them seriously. If something goes wrong, you're going to be out of luck. When Mr. Peng comes back, you can implement it."
Everyone in the room nodded cautiously.
Liu Yalou took out a military laptop that was inseparable from him, and he said while fiddling with the computer: "We are all old comrades-in-arms, let me open your eyes today and know what is called modern warfare under the conditions of high-tech informationization.
He took off the USB flash drive from his neck and inserted it into the USB port, bringing up the video of the situation on the North Korean side of the Yalu River taken by the drone yesterday. Deng Hua and the others looked at their former chief of staff inexplicably, and thought to themselves, "Damn, where did these words come from?" What high-tech is also informatized." Liu Yalou pointed to the thick green lines on the screen and said. This is what your troops are doing when they cross the river." Several people put their heads in front of the screen, and as Liu Yalou continued to enlarge the picture, their mouths opened wider. On the screen mountain, I saw groups of soldiers running forward, and vehicles with camouflages slowly drove on the dirt road
Liu Yalou continued: "At present, except for one battalion-level unit, where the enemy is more than 60 kilometers away from the Chushan area, there is no enemy situation found along the river 60 kilometers." As he spoke, he called up the situation of the enemy's camp. See a bright spot zoomed in on the enemy's tents. There are also more than 30 cars. A whistle that is constantly on the move. The hidden sentry "Deng Hua, see it, it doesn't matter if you don't know the drone, just know his role, this is the drone from the air at 10-12 o'clock last night." Liu Yalou said proudly. Damn, this drone is too fucking too bad, and I can shoot clearly in any position when I sleep in the tent in the middle of the night, so what secrets does the enemy have? The Americans don't have that, do they?" Han Xianchu smiled and scolded, and immediately asked.
Deng Feng replied, "Not yet." That's good!" Deng Hua wiped the cold sweat on his head and said, "If the U.S. military has this thing, we won't be able to fight this battle. This time it's fine. We use this drone every day to take a picture of the enemy, and it will be clear where the enemy is and how many there are."
At this time, Peng Dehuai walked in with a cool breeze of late autumn.
Deng Feng saw Peng Dehuai come in and immediately stood up. Saluted Peng Dehuai. Peng Dehuai waved his hand upwards as a return salute. said to Liu Yalou: "Liu Yalou, you came so fast. Say, when will the Air Force be dispatched and what are the plans?"
Liu Yalou said: "I thought I talked to Deng Hua just now. When to go out is mainly up to you to prepare. The chairman said to move with you. Guarantee the sudden surname of the battle, and deal a fatal blow to the United States at a time."" Liu Yalou, don't go around in circles with me here. Where did you get the plane? A few days ago, the chairman gave me a frenzy to find it back. Say that the USSR has changed . Out of the Air Force. Ask me how to fight this battle? After two days of political meetings, there was still no problem. I didn't mention the plane, but in the end it was decided by the chairman. Regardless of whether the Soviet Union can produce an air force or not, we will secretly come out and fight the puppet army first. When I came back, I went back to find it, took out this bag, took out a map from it, and said that I should build a big encirclement in the west according to the layout on this map, and strive to form a formation to destroy the enemy's 5-6 divisions. It is necessary to take the US military as the mainstay. Let me not worry about the US Air Force, about the specific participation of the Air Force in the war back to Anton and you have a talk with a man named Deng Feng. And here you say when you will go out to see us. What kind of fame are you doing in the fog and fog!". After speaking, he gave the bag of things to Deng Hua and said that this is the chairman's trick, you all take a good look, how about crossing the river yesterday, there is no problem."
Deng Hua said: "Everything is going well, there is no problem."
Deng Feng looked at this first fierce commander of the People's Liberation Army who dared to fight tough battles, dared to fight ruthlessly, was jealous and hateful, had no yang and autumn inside, and had no guilt outside, he was upright and strict with himself, but he couldn't be lenient with others, those veterans who had worked with him said that he was rough and arbitrary, loved to scold and train people, and even reprimanded Su Yu who worked with him at every turn, scolded and cried Liu Bocheng, including scolding with foul language at the Lushan Conference, he couldn't handle the relationship between his comrades-in-arms in the army. After entering the Politburo, the relationship with those officials he called "literati" was often tense. He has a stubborn temper and an ill-fated fate. As a result, at the later Lushan Conference, the wall fell down and everyone pushed the wall, and they were treated unfairly. No one is perfect, Peng Dehuai has his heroic side of the prancing horse, and also has his Achilles' heel as a politician, he is not broad-minded enough, no one is in his eyes, and flaws will be reported. These weaknesses were vividly demonstrated in the issue of Liu Bocheng and Su Yu in '58." Hey" Deng Feng sighed in his heart for this General Peng, who scolds people roughly, is often worthy of sympathy and lack of caresses. Mr. Peng has no children and no daughters in his life, and there are 6 documented relationships, and all marriages and loves have no good endings. In his life, except for the fact that after returning to China to resist US aggression and aid Korea, he overshadowed the authority of the lord with his high merits and whined for so many years, and it really didn't take a few days.
Deng Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for the unscrupulous Mr. Peng in front of him. I hope I can change the fate of this old handsome man who is dedicated to the people, even a little bit, don't let him be so miserable. This is a person who has made great contributions to this republic and endured great hardships.
