In the last days of May, the Allies received increasing information about the possibility of an unprecedented Chinese offensive in the Far East.

President Truman urgently summoned the Supreme Allied Commander, Five-Star General Dwight D. Eisenhower, on the evening of May 29.

Eisenhower, based on comprehensive intelligence from various sources and the report of Marshal Zhukov, commander of the Far Eastern Theater of Operations, believed that China was likely to launch a super-large-scale offensive in the Far East.

But what embarrassed Eisenhower was that the Chinese's preparations in the direction of North Korea were not only not stopping or slowing, but were getting faster and faster.

Judging from the aerial reconnaissance that occasionally infiltrated the Sino-North Korean border, a large number of artillery groups and tank groups have been assembled on the Chinese border side, and the number of the Central [***] team in the Sinuiju direction has reached 6 divisions, and there are 3 divisions on the opposite side of the Yalu River.

Zhukov believed that the direction of the Chinese attack was the Far East and demanded that the focus of the defense of the US 9th Air Force be shifted to the Far East, while he himself insisted that the direction of China's attack was Korea, and cited as an example how many small and medium-scale battles broke out on a given day.

Through various means, he made most of the fighter groups of the US Ninth Air Force stay in Yuben and North Korea, and these US planes did achieve results in the Sino-Yue air war, resisting repeated bombing of the Tokyo area by the Chinese.

There were two kinds of controversy within the Allied forces for a while, one was that the main direction of the Chinese's attack was Korea, and it was very likely that they would open a second battlefield on the two islands southeast of the four islands of Yuben to solve the important force of the Allied forces.

Another voice believes that the North Korean direction is a feint, and the Far East direction is the main direction of attack of the Chinese.

On 5 June, the Chinese National Defense Forces launched a fierce attack on the Yue Army in the direction of Sinuiju, and the [***] squadron successfully advanced more than 50 kilometers and wiped out most of the divisions and regiments of the Yue Army before being blocked by the reacting Yue Army.

In my opinion, this is a precursor to a general offensive by the Chinese.

However, on June 6, the Chinese National Defense Forces did not continue the large-scale offensive, and only advanced 15 kilometers in a whole day, which was equivalent to playing a tortoise race with Yue himself.

On the evening of 6 June, Jiang Baili, General Staff Officer of the National Defense Forces, Su Yuren, Minister of Operations, and Cai Yi, Minister of National Defense, came to Zhang Shusheng's office.

"Chairman, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!!"

Jiang Baili, who was a little bookish, used an old saying at the beginning to describe that the preparations for the Iron Hoof Plan were basically completed and he was ready to act.

Seeing the smiles on the faces of the three of them, Zhang Shusheng smiled slightly and asked: "In more than three months, we have completed the preparations for a major battle, although we have the foundation of the Far East Theater and the Northeast Theater, but our speed is not amazing. You're all set. ”

"What manpower can control, we are all ready, what manpower can't control, we can only count on the blessings of the chairman since the southwest, hehe." Su Yuren also said with a smile, it is undeniable that no matter what this chairman does, he has always been lucky.

Zhang Shusheng waved his hand and said, "Now that everything is ready, what are you waiting for, take the hot iron, let the iron hooves of the National Defense Army trample all the way over, recover our Far East, and establish our Far East Province." ”

"Yes!"

Jiang Baili and the three of them stood up and saluted together, waiting for Zhang Shusheng's next move.

Zhang Shusheng walked back behind his desk, picked up a red encrypted phone, and directly dialed the General Headquarters of the Iron Hoof Project in the Far East.

"Chairman, I'm Huo Weiguo!" Huo Weiguo's angry voice came from the other end of the phone, although he tried his best to restrain himself, but he still made Zhang Shusheng feel excited.

Zhang Shusheng: "Comrade Huo Weiguo, now I order you, in my capacity as the chairman of the Supreme Power Committee and the head of the republic, that the Iron Hoof Plan has officially begun, and all units participating in the war must fight bravely and act lightning in accordance with the established battle plan!" ”

"Yes, the chairman of the committee can rest assured and resolutely complete the task!"

Putting down the phone, Zhang Shusheng said to the excited three, "Okay, my business is done, and then it's up to you and Huo Weiguo." ”

"Yes!"

The three of them responded in unison, said a few more words, and then did not wait long, and rushed back to their respective departments, ready to participate in the corresponding part of this great battle.

On the other end of the phone, Huo Weiguo put down the phone and hurriedly convened an emergency military meeting.

"Comrades, let me tell you a good news, I have just received a call from the chairman of the committee from the base camp that the Iron Hoof Project has been officially launched, and according to the plan, the action will be officially started after the meeting.

Do you have any final questions? ”

Huo Weiguo motioned to Gao Feng to show everyone the telegram he had just received from the base camp again, and after confirming that it was correct, all the generals had no objections, the meetings that should be held, the words that should be spoken, and the preparations that should be made have been done in the past few months, and the rest is the matter of the action troops, as well as the command of the command organization headed by Huo Weiguo on the overall situation of the campaign.

"Very well, no objections, then this is the end of the meeting. Let's take our seats. ”

Huo Weiguo didn't say much, and ended the emergency military meeting in two or three sentences, these were all rehearsed, and even everyone was looking forward to the arrival of countless battle launch moments, so naturally there was no hurry.

At the end of the meeting, the officers of the command headquarters who were in charge of communications, logistics, liaison and coordination, and reconnaissance and intelligence work took their positions, and a huge underground command center was used as the campaign command post. Other commanders who were responsible for directing special forces operations, large-scale artillery groups, ground armored forces, air operations, and infiltration behind enemy lines were also quickly given orders.

"Yes, understood!"

Air Force, Major General Weng Yang, commander of the electronic warfare unit of the Iron Hoof campaign.

"Yes! Got it! ”

Artillery Command, Lieutenant General Fan Ziqiang.

"Yes! Got it! ”

Helicopter gunship combat command, major general of the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes! Got it! ”

Commander-in-Chief of Special Forces, Deputy Commander of Special Forces Forces, Lieutenant General Gao Yang.

…… One by one, the operational units had already received orders, and specially encrypted radio waves began to communicate closely between the units and the campaign headquarters.

…… At about 4 o'clock in the morning, outside Komsomolsk, a dwarf wood was in a stinky quagmire.

If you look closer to 10 centimeters, you will definitely be able to see a cow dung-like thing floating on the mud surface, and two slightly deflated nostrils prove that it is a human head.

"Didi, Didi......"

A slight and silent tremor came from Ma Chengliang's ear piercing, although the ear piercing was also covered with mud and sand, but it did not affect his clear access to the signal.

This new type of miniature radio trigger is designed for use by special forces behind enemy lines, and can be activated by remote radio, but there is no sound, and it is only alerted by vibrations produced by pressing tightly against the human ear. It also has the ability to easily encode, and can represent different commands depending on the frequency, duration, and number of vibrations.

He doesn't even have to time it, it's time to act as soon as the order arrives.

"The frequency is unmistakable, the command of the action."

Ma Chengliang, who was activated in an instant, slowly crawled out of the stinky quagmire like a loach, and he had been lurking in this overgrown stinky quagmire for three whole days. If it weren't for the fact that he could even protect his head in a special military uniform, in three days, even a well-trained special soldier would have died in this quagmire, if he couldn't move.

For three days, he remained motionless, all supported by three high-energy nutrients in the mask, and I have to say that although this thing has a little sequelae, for the special forces who are used to it, its side effects can be almost ignored.

For three days, enemy patrols and scouts stood a dozen centimeters in front of him to pee. And only a dozen meters away from him was an important communication relay station of the enemy.

His mission was to blow up the communications relay station, which was located in the middle of two trenches, including twenty Soviet soldiers.

This is an almost impossible task, especially since two days ago the Soviet army suddenly increased the level of vigilance in various places, especially in such an important place as a communication relay station. But he managed to infiltrate by relying on three days of infiltration.

Slowly getting out of the quagmire, resuming his activity for half a minute, Ma Chengliang, who had adjusted himself to the best condition, took the weapon that was also hidden in the quagmire, and tore off the adhesive tape, which was a saber engraved with a tiger's head, a silenced pistol with a large magazine, and a piece of high-energy plastic explosives.

Easily killed a Soviet soldier five meters in front, killed three silent pistols, and shot directly in the head, taking into account not only the location of the bullet, but also the general orientation of the body when it fell, without making any unnecessary sound.

There was also a squad of Soviet troops in the communication relay station, and the flashlight of the other two patrol squads was already shining from a distance.

Ma Chengliang didn't wait any longer, quickly loaded the plastic explosives, adjusted the time on the detonator, and then took a Soviet Degegalev light machine gun, dragging a killed Soviet scout into the grove again.

The whole battle process was very simple for him, and the difficult thing was to lurk for three days and three nights.

Ma Chengliang hid in the woods and set up a simple trap, this Soviet machine gun was fixed by him with a rope, a candle head, and a few branches, when the rope was burned by a small flame, the shot would reveal a position, that was his only ideal chance to escape.

Rumble!! With a loud bang, the Soviet army's communication relay station was completely blown up into the sky.

Almost instantly, by the light of the fire, the fire of the two Soviet trenches crossed over and strafed the trees around the communication relay station, and a moment later, the rope burned and the triggered, large turntable machine gun finally roared in the woods.

"Over there, over there......"

In the confusion, the Soviets began to shoot ferociously into the woods, and groups of Soviets rushed out of the trenches to search the woods, realizing that the enemy had blown up the communication station.

Ma Chengliang looked at the communication station not far away with the sound of gunfire, smiled slightly, and then adjusted his Soviet military hat, dressed as a Soviet scout, he disappeared into the night, and headed towards the next target.

At the same time, communication transfer stations and wired telephone lines were violently damaged in various parts of the Far East, and some wires supplying important departments or locations were also cut.

Ten minutes later, over the Chinese-controlled area of the Far Eastern Theater, more than a dozen large D-3 Bat God electronic jamming planes were distributed in the airspace of more than 100 kilometers.

After listening to the reports of each machine, Weng Yang immediately calmly ordered: "Begin!" ”
