Seoul fell under the fire of the American army,

Where is Kim Il Sung?

In the south, Kim Il Sung's forces also collapsed at this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the fall of Seoul, the entire Southern Army, and historically in general, fell into a collapse of supply cut-offs, and all formations retreated north in a full-front counterattack by the Eighth Army.

In fact, the difficulties began from the moment the American troops landed. After the landing of the US 10th Army in Incheon, the impact and difficulties brought to the KPA's logistical supply were unprecedented.

Despite the early preparations, after the US troops landed, the KPA's logistics were still in great difficulty, especially after the US Air Force cooperated with the landing operations and focused its bombing on Seoul and the transportation nodes around Seoul, and the KPA's supply efficiency became as poor as a leaking faucet.

Knowing that the People's Army was still defeated as in history despite being prepared, in the headquarters of the Volunteer Army that had been formed in Northeast China, Mr. Peng and the generals felt that they were covered by dark clouds and were worried.

Mr. Peng finished the third baking map, threw his reading glasses on the map, and said angrily: "This little gold, after losing Fuping, should be decisively returned to the division, why did he keep grinding until the American army crossed the Han River north and captured Seoul before preparing to withdraw?" ”

General Deng Hua said: "They were bitten by the Eighth Army in the south and couldn't move. The other side is a motorized corps, and once it is pursued by such a force, the casualties will be very serious.

From the beginning of the landing of the US Tenth Army, the Eighth Army in the south came to the ground and launched a counterattack from 11 positions in the Busan encirclement. In this case, the KPA had no choice but to hold on to the fortifications that had been dug before. Such an encirclement, once a certain point retreats, exposing the flanks of the rest of the troops, may cause a major collapse of the entire front.

If you want to withdraw, you must deploy the entire front in a unified manner, and carry out it at the same time, and you must also leave a part of the troops behind the palace to fight to the last man. This choice was very difficult, Comrade Kim Il-sung did not have enough experience, and Deputy Commander Choe Yong-kyun fought hard in Seoul, which led to the delay of the fighter plane. ”

Mr. Peng nodded, acknowledging Deputy Commander Deng Hua's incisive insights.

Then Mr. Peng sighed regretfully: "Then you shouldn't just stay in the fortifications and spend it, you can withdraw after dark!" Leave the heavy weapons behind, retreat lightly, as long as the troops are there, what is there to be reluctant to! Pedantic! ”

Deputy Commander Han Xianchu also sighed: "It's really a pity. But then again, how far can you retreat overnight? Fifty or sixty kilometers, right? The chariot vanguard of the motorized unit will be able to catch up and bite in the morning, and the southern part of Korea is a plain terrain with nowhere to hide and nowhere to hide, and as soon as the enemy's onslaught begins, I am afraid that the demoralized KPA formation will be in chaos. ”

Mr. Peng shook his head helplessly and asked, "Where is Jin Richeng now?" ”

General Xie Fang, chief of staff, frowned and said, "I asked the Foreign Intelligence Department of the General Staff of the Army, and said that I could not be contacted!" ”

Mr. Peng: "......

How many troops does Deputy Commander Cui Yongjian have in his hands? Has the establishment been completely broken up? There are always three or four militia divisions, right? ”

General Xie said: "Deputy Commander Cui has never called back, and our preliminary estimate is that the situation is not optimistic. ”

General Hong Xizhi said worriedly: "What about the one million grenades sent to him?" Don't fall into the hands of the U.S. military! ”

General Xie said: "At the beginning of the defense of Seoul, it was distributed, and I heard from the intelligence officers on the front line that many KPA swore that they would die only after throwing grenades. ”

Mr. Peng asked with a calm face: "Are there any losses in the military observers and intelligence personnel we sent to the front line?" ”

Chief of Staff Xie said: "As soon as Seoul is lost, we will send a telegram and order all Chinese personnel to follow the refugees to the north according to the instructions, and it is expected that they will return to the northeast in ten days." ”

Mr. Peng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, our babies, all of them are expensive, just don't have an accident." ”

General Hong Xizhi asked: "Mr. Peng, do you think the Americans will cross the 38th parallel?" Will they move next to the south or to the north? Or do you want to stay put? ”

Mr. Peng stood up, walked slowly with his hands on his back, and said, "Yesterday, Truman had authorized MacArthur to allow him to go north and cross the 38th parallel.

MacArthur is only today, tomorrow will be over, tomorrow will be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will be over, he is a tiger, he always has to eat people's land.

In my opinion, after the US Eighth Army and the Tenth Army meet, it will be a matter of time before they go north. ”

Deputy Commander Deng Hua patted his thigh a little anxiously: "Mr. Peng, when will the central government let us send troops?" I think there's a good chance of sending troops now. First, the U.S. military had just taken Seoul and had an unstable foothold. Second, sending troops as soon as possible can occupy a certain buffer zone and prevent the flames of war from shifting to the northeast of our country. ”

Mr. Peng looked at the bright sunlight outside the wooden window, and said with a tight face: "Now we have to wait for the Soviet Union's statement, the Americans have the atomic bomb, and the Soviets also have it, and we have to look at our faces if we don't have it."

Be patient, and when the time comes, the chairman will give us orders. ”

……………………

Feng Zeyuan, the prime minister leaned over on the sofa and said to the chairman: "Now the Soviet Union is shouting loudly, but there is no real action, Stalin himself does not say a word to the outside world, only the responsible comrades of the Soviet Foreign Ministry warn and protest at the United Nations."

The Soviet Union fulfilled its previous promise to us, and from August 17 this year, it officially returned the port of Ludagang and the right to operate the Zhongchang Railway. At this time, these actions of theirs, outsiders seem to be throwing off their burdens. The United States will probably be pleased.

They have already dismantled all the machines that can be dismantled in the Northeast and transported them, and the Soviet Union's departure now is nothing more than a military clearance of itself. ”

"If the Soviet Union had hoped that Korea would be reunified so that their interests on the peninsula would be maximized, now they are vaguely hoping that things will get bigger," the chairman said.

They felt that it was in their favor that the matter had become bigger, and that when the matter had become bigger, we demanded that they bring in the Soviet Red Army again, lease the port of Luda to them again, and let them intervene in the operation of the Changjiang Railway.

But their investments are all in the north of North Korea, and if North Korea is broken, what good will it do them? Is it the Americans who will repay their loans? Or will Syngman Rhee repay their loans?

So we didn't go to him, they asked us to send troops in turn.

Isn't it? Stalin's telegram came. ”

In his telegram, Comrade Stalin said that he did not know much about the situation in the DPRK. Hehe, he's very talkative. ”

The chairman picked up the translated telegram in his hand again and read it with a smile: "...... According to the present form, if you think that you can provide the Koreans with troops, even five or six divisions, you should immediately advance to the 38th parallel, so that the Korean comrades can reorganize and rebuild their forces north of the 38th parallel under the cover of your troops......"

After reading, the chairman said:

"I think it's okay to call him back like this: it will be difficult for a few divisions to solve the Korean problem, and the enemy may well force us to retreat. Most likely, it would lead to an open conflict between the United States and China, and as a result, the Soviet Union would also be dragged into the war, and the problem would become very serious.

Yes, that's the answer. ”

The Prime Minister nodded, "I agree."

At present, the problem of North Korea can no longer be solved by a few divisions. Comrade Kim Il Sung, as in history, is still incapable of turning the tide, so it is better to let everything that follows be close to the trend of history, so that it is more convenient for us to judge.

Since the Soviet Union is in a hurry, then simply let him wait, and if they can give us more help in atomic energy, we will send troops. ”

The chairman pondered for a moment and said, "We can't let them wait too quickly, North Korea is very important to us." In case Comrade Stalin really leaves Kim Il-sung alone, breaks the jar and breaks it, and lets him go to the mountains to fight guerrillas, we will still have to send troops.

So we have to grasp the bottom line. On the basis of the current treaty of friendship and alliance between China and the Soviet Union, it is most important for the Soviet Union to give us clear nuclear protection.

If you can add to this the technical assistance of the USSR in atomic energy, then it would be even better. ”

The prime minister nodded and said, "Then I will immediately go and draw up a telegram and give it to the Soviet ambassador Roshin to see what they say." ”
