[327] Strange and treacherous

On the undulating vast Korean plains, the greenery of spring and summer turns the hills and plains emerald green, and the green oil of the wheat seedlings is shiny, and the pungent fragrance of wheat is sprayed.

The clear river flows, and the banks are densely thatched, and the transparent water makes people see at a glance the moss on the rocks at the bottom of the water and the aquatic plants between the cracks in the stones.

The elderly Armani and the women of the family came to this tributary of the Han River with buckets to fetch water and wash clothes.

A gray-haired Armani was squatting by the river, about to wash his clothes, when suddenly, the old lady rubbed her eyes, almost thinking that she had seen it wrong. He cried out, "You women, come and see how the river has changed color?" ”

As a strong smell of blood that could not be dissolved came along the river, the clear water of the Han River was dyed a strange light red by the blood flowing downstream.

Gradually, floating corpses began to appear in the blood-colored river, and dead corpses wearing southern military uniforms flowed down the river like driftwood, and the number of corpses floating in the river was so large that it almost covered the entire surface of the river.

This terrifying scene made the women present tremble, even the oldest and most courageous Armani, when they saw this red river, they couldn't help but be moved, and the wrinkles and folds on their faces became deeper.

Armani, who had seen the world, recognized the uniform and frowned, "Don't be afraid, it's the white dog from the south!" It's good to die, it's good to die! Our People's Army has won the battle. ”

In the early morning of 1 June, after the Korean People's Army began its general offensive, the entire 38th parallel of north latitude had been opened up from three o'clock in Ongjin, Kaesong, and Songyu-ri. A Soviet-style motorized infantry regiment of the Korean People's Army has formed a mixed tank armored brigade with more than 200 T34 tanks, and the torrent of ironclad has inexorably driven from the gap in the battle line to the depth, occupying the logistics and communication nodes in the south all the way until it broke through to the vicinity of Seoul. The South Korean army, which was caught off guard by the ferocious artillery fire of the Korean People's Army, suffered heavy losses, and at this moment it was inserted into the heart by the Soviet-style large-depth breakthrough tactics, and finally, the entire 38th parallel front of the Southern Army completely collapsed! The defeated troops who had withdrawn from the front line fled frantically, filling holes and valleys, and the Republic of Korea army, which had been completely disrupted in the flight, had to retreat again and again in order to get a respite, but they were never able to get the time and opportunity to regroup their troops and build a new defense line in the desperate southward pursuit of the North Korean People's Army.

The People's Army militia division, which was serving as an auxiliary operation, was clearing the riverside roads at this time, and they threw the bodies of the piled up of southern soldiers directly into the Han River, saving the time of digging pits.

……………………

Before the war, according to the analysis of the Soviet Union's chief military attache in the DPRK, Temenkov: in terms of scale, South Korea deployed 41,000 troops along the 38th parallel of the north latitude, including more than 30,000 troops in the direction of Pyongyang. Judging from the characteristics of the troops, Pyongyang's front-line troops tend to be mechanized and armored, and it can be said that the attack power is outstanding and the positional defense is weak. On the eastern front, the distribution of troops tends to be a mixture of mountain divisions and special forces. It is obvious from the distribution of troops and the characteristics of the arms that South Korea is advancing more and more rashly, and it is very likely to take military action to advance northward by force and armed unity.

Judging from the first half of 1950, border conflicts provoked by the South became more and more frequent, and it can be said that they were becoming more and more intense, and the South Korean side had completely disregarded the military security regulations related to the 38th parallel, and military provocations were becoming more and more regular and characterized by increasing aggressiveness. With the soldiers patrolling the northern borders being wounded, annihilated, and captured again and again, the mountainous areas in the rear constantly infiltrated by the special forces of the south, the highway and bridge buildings being blasted, and the villages under the people's power being brutally slaughtered, this battle on the Korean Peninsula is already on the line.

On May 28, just before Kim Il-sung's operation, the military provocation in the south had reached a new height, and the regimental level operation had already begun.

On that day, the South Korean Army, with five battalions of troops, launched a surprise attack at Jejeong-ri and seized a number of high ground north of the 38th parallel, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the value of these heights was obvious from a tactical point of view. This frenzied land grabbing move in the south made Kim Il Sung extremely firm in his belief in carrying out the battle to the end.

"Rampant, I want to see how many more days you can run rampant!" Jin Richeng is still young, his powerful fists are clenched tightly, the muscles on his face twitch, he gritted his teeth tightly, and excitedly squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

Syngman Rhee was still in the presidential palace in Seoul the day before the war, and he was proud that the prelude to his 'Northern Expedition' had gone smoothly.

"What am I talking about? Those mud-legged people in the north are no match for the loyal and brave men of the Republic of Korea! You see, they have retreated so quickly, and this chain of heights has all fallen into our hands!

I said on 31 October last year on the US cruiser "Saint-For" that the division between the North and the South must be resolved by war, and judging from the analysis of the combat effectiveness that the North is currently showing, I think it is necessary to carry out this great Northern Expedition in advance! It doesn't have to be delayed until next year's Independence Day, yes! Perhaps on the 4th of July this year, we will be able to start the main offensive of this great Northern Expedition! ”

Finance Minister Li Yongzai immediately agreed, saying: "Our military spending is already more than 50 percent of the budget, and it is not good that this situation will drag on for too long." ”

Syngman Rhee said with a heavy heart: "Yes, these military expenses are all real money, if we can't go on a northern expedition as soon as possible, it will drag down our finances sooner or later." ”

Cai Bingde, chief of the general staff of the South Korean army, said busily: "This time span in advance is a bit too big, the current 'Northern Expedition' preparatory operations have not yet ended, and it will be until mid-July at the earliest, and it is estimated that it will be until the end of September to fully prepare for the haode words, and if the war starts at that time, the long winter will be a nightmare for the troops!" I think it's better to follow the original jihua. ”

Syngman Rhee said dissatisfiedly: "In another year, what if the combat power of the north increases!" Right now, the attack of my Korean warriors is like snow and unstoppable! I am firmly against any further delay! ”

Cai Bingde slandered: "Then what did you mention last time you had a meeting?" It's changed like this, and it's still a hanging! Hit wherever you want! ”

Of course, Cai Bingde is not so stupid, he only promised: "Everything is subject to the instructions of Mr. President." ”

Syngman Rhee said with satisfaction: "I will go to General MacArthur, I believe that in the face of the devastating victory of the warriors of the Republic of Korea, he will definitely support us in this just war!"

……………………

Just one day before the start of the war.

Moscow.

Kremlin.

After reading the topographic map of the contour line of the Korean Peninsula spread out in front of him, Stalin opened his mouth and said to Defense Minister Vasilevsky: "Vasily, what do you think of Kim Il Sung's combat jihua?" ”

Marshal Vasilevsky said frankly: "Judging from the report of our military advisory group, the Korean People's Army is fully prepared for the offensive and has now been fully completed. Moreover, at the beginning of May, we had already replaced all the military attachés in charge of military training of soldiers in the military advisory group with combat specialists, and Kim Il-sung would not lose with Soviet combat experts. ”

Seeing the generality of Marshal Vasilevsky's remarks, Stalin continued to ask: "According to Jihua, how sure do you think you are of taking Seoul in the first week?" ”

Marshal Vasilevsky said: "I am not worried about this! With Soviet artillery specialists commanding the artillery regiments and infantry divisions of the Korean People's Army to fight in tandem, under such strong pressure, the southern defense line is like a thin newspaper, absolutely vulnerable! I estimate that on the first day of the war, the southern defense line set up on the plains and hills on the western side of the peninsula will completely collapse like stitches ripped open in a sheet!

Once the southern defense line collapses, the Korean People's Army's motorized rifle regiments and tank brigades, commanded by Soviet armored experts, will continue to move south without stopping to carry out large-depth assaults on strategic points in the rear. Under these circumstances, I don't think the South will have time to rest and build a second line of defense, and will only be chased and beaten by the Korean People's Army, and the Korean People's Army will be able to occupy the whole of Korea in about two or three months. ”

Stalin nodded, and it seemed that he had come to combat Jihua very satisfied. But he thought about it for a while, and suddenly asked, "Isn't this rear too weak?" The main infantry divisions of the Korean People's Army were all interspersed to the south, which led to their weak defenses in the narrow strip of land on the west coast. ”

Marshal Vasilevsky said with a bitter smile: "Kim Il-sung proposed to China before that he wanted China to mobilize about 50,000 Koreans in exile in the northeast to return home, including two Korean divisions of the Northeast Field Army, but the Chinese refused. As compensation, the Chinese gave Kim Il Sung a large amount of free arms. According to the intelligence of General Shtkov, our supreme military attache in North Korea, the amount of American-made munitions seized from Chang Kaishen's Kuomintang government forces with Chinese assistance is very large, and in terms of rifles alone, it can be equipped with 20 divisions, as well as 1,000 submachine guns and 100 75mm howitzers. ”

Stalin laughed and said: "I have also heard about this, China is so generous, supporting the rifles and so many artillery pieces of Kim Il Sung's 20 American armor divisions, but they are unwilling to send divisions to fight, it seems that they do not want to annoy the Americans." However, it can be seen that they still very much hope that Kim Il Sung will win, Mao is bleeding heavily this time, twenty divisions, ......"

Marshal Vasilevsky said solemnly: "The only thing I am worried about now is the reaction of the United States, the south currently has only 78 surface combat ships of various types, and it is not capable of carrying out amphibious operations, so although the western coast of the Korean Peninsula is empty in defense, it is not a problem." But once the United States intervenes, there are countless possibilities. ”

Stalin's eyes narrowed, and he said: "Even if the United States joins, we will not lose, on the contrary, it will be a very good opportunity." ”
