The 321st Round: 38 degrees north latitude
[321] 38 degrees north latitude
Pyongyang.
Command of the Korean People's Army.
Here, Kim Il Sung was presiding over a pre-war plenary session for Zuihou.
Last month, Kim Il-sung finally completed what he considered to be the most important thing of the moment -- a secret visit to Moscow.
To this day, Kim Il-sung's mind still echoes the promise he made to Stalin at that time: "The first battle will make the south explode from within." ”
This sentence of Kim Il Sung satisfied Stalin, who liked young people with a lot of energy.
Stalin was now old, and his gray hair was spreading on his head like a wild weed. He now goes to bed earlier at night, wakes up earlier in the morning, and drinks less and less vodka. At this age, people always want to be able to worry less and spend more time with their grandchildren, and Stalin is also a human being, so he is no exception.
Stalin began to like more and more bold young people, and the natural dependence of these young people on Stalin made Stalin feel very reassured. Kim Il-sung was a young man who made Stalin feel at ease.
So, after learning of Kim Il-sung's wishes, Stalin talked about his thoughts, and then asked Kim Il-sung to go back first, think about it all, and plan a battle first.
Kim Il Sung is a smart man. Although he and his officer corps had already planned the operation, and had repeatedly deliberated it countless times. But in order to show respect for Stalin, he still did not say Jihua, who had rushed to his throat.
After swallowing the urge to confess, Kim Il-sung only told Stalin that he would definitely win, and asked Stalin to rest assured.
Kim Il-sung was very kind and went back to Pyongyang first, and after a week of impatience, Kim Il-sung returned to Moscow last month, and finally said that Jihua word for word.
Anyone would love such young people...... So Stalin also liked Kim Il Sung very much, very much. He even sold the Katyusha rocket launcher to the young man for 13 gold bars per piece. Of course, the young man's order was really rich, a total of 40 tons of gold...... Who can say no to gold?
Stalin even happily hosted a dinner for Kim Il Sung and wished him victory.
The thought of the champagne at that dinner made a smile on Kim Il Sung's lips.
He believes that the next dinner will be held in Seoul, and it will be even grander.
Kim Il-sung held his head high, looking a little Stalin's.
"Comrades, we have been preparing for this day for a long time, and now is the time, it's time for Syngman Rhee and his lackeys to run away."
He solemnly glanced at the generals in the command headquarters, and saw that the officers of the People's Army were wearing Soviet-style military uniforms one by one, listening attentively to his speech. They had a lot of respect for this young man whom the Soviets valued, who was black and fat, and who looked very strong. In addition to Korean, he is fluent in Chinese, and can also converse with the officers of the Soviet Military Advisory Corps in Russian, with a strong North Korean accent. This is crucial for North Korea, which has diplomacy as its lifeline at this time.
Kim Il Sung was pleased with the concentration shown by everyone.
So he continued with his head held high:
"Although the United States has withdrawn most of its native armed forces from Korea, they have already completed the criminal task of arming Syngman Rhee, whose eight army divisions and one navy and air force, with a total strength of more than 98,000 people, have been armed by the American invaders! The American aggressors even left behind a military advisory corps of 500 people!
Although we, the Korean people, are extremely peace-loving! However, Syngman Rhee, the executioner, was not reconciled, and last year alone, he launched 1,836 armed attacks against us! Rampant beyond measure! Syngman Rhee rudely rejected our proposal to hold universal suffrage for all of Korea without foreign interference! This is an insult to the entire Korean people! It is also a serious insult to our close comrade-in-arms, the Soviet Union! ”
The more Jin Richeng spoke, the more angry he became, and his raised tone became slightly sharper: "The day before yesterday! Syngman Rhee openly shouted in the newspapers 'to win the hot war'! We want to 'go north for reunification'! The newspaper also published a photo of US Republican Foreign Affairs spokesman Dulles inspecting the front line and looking north with a telescope! This photo is reproduced in the news of the whole shijie! No doubt! The Americans are scouting before the naked operation!
Comrades! Are we going to continue to tolerate Syngman Rhee putting these crazy words into action? I grew up studying in Songyuan, Jilin, China, and I know that there is an old Chinese saying, 'The first strike is the strongest, and the second strike suffers'!
Comrades! We can't wait any longer! As a country with a history of 1,200 years of unity, we must not accept the current situation of division!
Comrades! With the help of the big brother of the Soviet Union, we have now trained ten infantry divisions, a tank brigade, a motorized infantry regiment, and a total of 1,600 artillery mortars! Two hundred and fifty-eight tanks! The Chinese comrades selflessly helped us to equip 20 divisions of American rifles, and even provided 1,000 American submachine guns and 100 75mm mountain guns. With this batch of support from the Chinese comrades, we no longer have any problems with logistics! The wear and tear of guns in battle can be fully replenished! In addition, we have also used this aid to form ten militia divisions, and there are enough militia to effectively serve as combat auxiliary missions! Defend our strategic locations! ”
All the officers present here are thinking about a question at the moment, since the Chinese comrades have donated so much equipment without a penny, what about the Weishenme Soviet Union to charge us 40 tons of gold? Big Brother of the Soviet Union...... Really greedy......
The officers wanted to remember, but continued to say nothing, waiting for the final order to be given.
Having said this, Kim Il Sung stood with his head held high and began to close his eyes, and after he was silent for three minutes, he opened his eyes and said:
"I order, unified combat from now on! Press jihua, five days later, on June 1, the attack was launched on time in the early hours of the morning! ”
…………
Seoul.
Presidential Office of the Republic of Korea.
Rhee sat at the chair of the long conference table and said to his officer corps in high spirits: "The visit of Mr. Dulles has greatly encouraged us, and it shows that the intensive harassment we carried out in the year of 1949 was very effective!" Dealt a heavy blow to the enemy forces on the North Korean side! ”
Syngman Rhee wiped the foam from the corners of his stiff mouth and continued: "The group of mud-legged people in the north have obviously discovered our reinforcement of troops on the border, they have been gathering recently, and all the trains going south have been requisitioned by the army, and all the supplies are transported!" Obviously, they are ready to compete with us and win the battle!
This is good! It's time to march north to unify all of Korea! I have said a long time ago that the great cause of reunification can only be accomplished by dividing the winners and losers in a hot war, otherwise, the cause of the reunification of the Korean nation will never see the light of day! This is a great opportunity! General Cai Bingde, you should have already seen Jihua from the War Department, is there anything to add? ”
Choe Byung-deok, chief of the General Staff of the South Korean Army, said: "General Min Ji-sik and the senior staff officers of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School have designated Jihua for operations without any problem! I raise my hands in favor! According to Jihua, as long as the north dares to act rashly! We can immediately launch an all-out counteroffensive, take advantage of the situation to recover the whole of Korea, and realize the great cause of national reunification!
Even if the north continues to cower behind the 38th parallel as it did last year, we can launch an all-out offensive when the time comes! In my opinion, it is better to take the initiative in our hands! After all, we have the support of naval warships and air force aircraft aided by the United States! And the peasant army organized by the mud-legged people in the north is completely impossible to have air superiority! ”
Syngman Rhee nodded contemptuously and said: "Yes, these bandit troops in the north just think that they have the support of the Soviet Union and have some tanks and artillery, but how many will they use?" ”
Speaking of this, Syngman Rhee couldn't help but giggle like a hen, and his white hair shook with the laughter. The generals present also laughed proudly one by one, and this tacit understanding was obviously very good.
Syngman Rhee said energetically: "As long as we continue to attack and harass on the border, while maintaining armed infiltration into the northern mountains, and increasing the intensity of guerrilla warfare to break the fighting, the north will definitely be unable to resist counterattacking, and at that time, it will be the beginning of their own destruction." ”
Cai Bingde smiled and cooperated: "If they don't dare to attack, then according to the battle jihua, next year's July 4th, the American Independence Day, is the start date of our attack on Jihua!" Our soldiers, like the bravest Silla samurai, will sweep through the whole of Korea and accomplish the great cause of national reunification! How brilliant!! ”
Syngman Rhee excitedly said in a sonorous rhythm: "Yes! Just wait another year at the latest! The North will be completely weakened by the infiltration we are currently carrying out, and when the time comes, we will surely unify all of Korea! ”
After saying this pompous remark, Rhee seemed to calm down a little under gravity, turned his head to the side and asked, "General Cai Bingde, do you think the Chinese will interfere?" ”
Cai Bingde said: "Even if the Chinese intervene, there is nothing to fear, our warriors of the Republic of Korea once led the army to Shanxi!" If it hadn't been for Japan's surrender! How can those Dohachi be the opponents of our warriors of the Republic of Korea! ”
Syngman Rhee nodded and said, "General Cai said it well! The soldiers of the Republic of Korea are all warriors with the spirit of loyal and brave Silla! No matter how many Chinese there are, in front of our Korean warriors, they are just as vulnerable as a native chicken and a dog! No matter how many of them come, they are destined to be like Emperor Yang of Sui's army of five million, and there will be no piece of armor left behind by our Korean warriors! ”
After that, Syngman Rhee hesitated for a moment and asked, "Will the Soviets intervene?" ”
Kim Hong, principal of the South Korean Army Academy and deputy chief of the General Staff, said: "Unless you want to fight a big war, the Soviets will never intervene in the Korean Civil War, the great United States has a larger number of atomic bombs, and the Soviets will never dare to act rashly!" ”
Syngman Rhee nodded and said, "Principal Kim, you're right!" The USSR did not have the guts to do so! ”
