Chapter 316: A Chinese-Style Counterattack: The Wehrmacht Sortie
Hankyung, the base camp of the Republic.
A lieutenant general of the Republic Army dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant general, led by Lu Yunyan, confidential secretary general of the head of state's office, came to Zhang Shusheng's office.
"General Zhu, go in, the chairman is already waiting for you." Lu Yunyan smiled slightly.
The lieutenant general raised his hand and saluted: "Yes, ma'am." β
He respected not only the FΓΌhrer's wife, but also the principal's wife who had always taken good care of them, the early students of the Chinese Military Academy.
Because of the perennial presence of troops abroad, Zhu Chi, commander of the Shenyang Garrison District under the jurisdiction of the Northeast Garrison Region of the National Defense Forces, commander of the 15th Group Army of the National Defense Army, and lieutenant general of the army, did not have many opportunities to see the chairman and his two wives.
As a poor student from Xiushui, Jiangxi, he not only felt the warmth of home in this freshman military academy, but also felt the warmth of his relatives from the principal of the year, the current chairman and the two ladies.
As a child of an extremely poor peasant family, he was not only able to study for free, but was able to smoothly join the army and lead the army, and was able to go all the way up, and he was extremely grateful to the chairman's family. Not to mention, as an outstanding student, he also received a sweater hand-knitted by two ladies to give to the outstanding student.
He kept that sweater and was reluctant to wear it.
After many years of military career, Zhu Chi has long been tempered into an outstanding military commander of the first class of the republic. Zhu Chi, a graduate of the fifth phase of the Huaxia Military Academy and commander of the 15th Division of the 10th Army at the end of the Liberation War, is now also a lieutenant general and officer of the leading side of the National Defense Army.
"Knock knock!"
"Come in."
When Zhu Chi pushed the door open, Zhang Shusheng was looking up from the documents on the table.
"The chairman is always so busy." Zhu Chi couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Everyone in the republic knows that the chairman of the NPC National Committee is a pragmatic head of state, who not only has to deal with complicated military and government affairs, but also has to personally participate in various scientific research; if it were not for the fact that the chairman of the NPC National Committee also has outstanding abilities in military and strategic fields, others would definitely think that he is a scholar-type head of state.
"Headmaster, you should pay attention to your body. When I was in Shenyang, I heard that Chairman of the National People's Congress often works overtime and stays up late, which is not good for your health. β
Zhu Chiping dragged his military hat and stood there, slightly nervous in his heart, and his military posture was even more upright. In this country, only the chairman and the two ladies will make him feel nervous, not afraid, but afraid of being rude in front of them, because he cares, so he is cautious.
Standing in front of the chairman, he would always think of the time when he listened to the chairman's lectures and received the chairman's personal commendation at the graduation ceremony. Over the years, these memories have never faded.
Zhang Shusheng shook his head and motioned for him to sit, at this time Mao Yun came in first, brought a pot of Sichuan green tea, and went out after pouring the tea.
The two continued to talk about military affairs.
"It's not easy for you to come back all the way back, if it weren't for the fact that Hanjing has a direct transport plane to the Northeast, you would have to suffer more." Zhang Shusheng sighed that today's transportation is still not as good as that of later generations, and in later generations, although most people in the country are scolding, the establishment of high-speed rail and bullet trains, no matter how well it is done, has really made it convenient to travel. Of course, the cheaper plane tickets that are commonly used in the future are also convenient for people to travel far away.
"Yes, I'm also stained with the light of official business, this time the transport plane sat down, although the bones were about to fall apart, but the speed was fast. However, I heard that the direct flight from the Northeast to Hanjing will be opened soon, and at that time, the traffic will be good. "How far is the Northeast, and even how far the Far East is, Zhu Chi, who is far away in the Northeast, is very clear, although there is a full railway, but the distance is still too far.
"Yes, the Hanjing-Shenyang route will be opened later this year, and the model selected is the Airbus third-generation aircraft Airbus 1942 80-seater passenger aircraft, the overall surname can be very good, more consideration of the silent design, taking care of the comfort of the passenger aircraft, it is a very good civil airliner, you can also try it in the future, haha."
Zhang Shusheng thought of the current development of civil aviation, and couldn't help but show some smiles, although because of the war, production and research and development should be more military, but with China's actual ranking has surpassed the United States in the world's first manufacturing capacity, manufacturing some passenger aircraft, is just a trivial matter.
After all, more than 30 years of painstaking development is not in vain. The results of full-scale industrialization are too great.
The two said a few more words about domestic affairs, and then the topic turned to the focus of Zhu Chi's return to Beijing, the North Korean issue.
"Chairman of the committee, in fact, even if there is no information issued this time, I will report the North Korean issue to the base camp." The reason why Zhu Chi, as the commander of the Shenyang Military Region and the commander of the 15th Group Army, did not go north to participate in the Sino-Soviet War was to deter the DPRK from beginning to end.
Although the 15th Group Army is only an inconspicuous infantry group army, only the Chinese and Yue himself know that the main force of the Shenyang Military Region, known as the 15th Infantry Group Army, is actually a motorized infantry group army with strong mobility ability, although due to its positioning, it is a large-scale battle in the Korean region, and it is of little significance to deploy a large number of armored weapons and equipment, but the truck ratio of this group army is very high, and small armored vehicles are also equipped to the division level. The firepower is fierce and the individual weapons are highly automated, and they are really armed to the teeth compared to the opposing troops, the third-rate recruit units of the Yue Army and the newly formed Korean People's Army, which has more than 20,000 people.
"According to the confessions of several deserters captured by our border guards, the Korean People's Army is vigorously promoting the Chinese threat theory, and, according to the confession of one of the staff officers who has reached the rank of colonel in the Korean People's Army, the DPRK will carry out a series of [***] policies to consolidate the DPRK and stabilize its interests in the DPRK after announcing the DPRK's reading power." There was a fire in Zhu Chi's eyes, and he said resentfully.
Zhang Shusheng nodded, "Yes, if I want to win over North Korea and make North Korea obedient, it can only make us a sign of evil." Let the Koreans turn their guns on us, so that they must rely deeply on Yue himself, from being oppressed and occupied in the past, to being a servant now, and taking the initiative to keep up with the pace of the war.
They said that they wanted to create an enemy for the DPRK and completely eliminate the possibility of the DPRK turning to us, and they did not hesitate to take the risk for this purpose.
Although we do not know their exact actions, I firmly believe that with absolute armed forces, there is absolute offensive and defensive capability.
I asked you to come back this time because I want to talk to you about the North Korean issue, and after you go back, we will unify our thinking and be ready to fight back against any possible provocation from the DPRK or the DPRK.
During this period, all the weapons and equipment that should be replenished will be allocated, and the air force of Jinzhou will go up to support you in part, so that you will be able to form an absolute superiority over the army in northern Korea. β
"Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, rest assured, as long as I, Zhu Chi, am in Shenyang for a day, I will never give myself any chance to take advantage of it. In response to any provocation, our Shenyang garrison area and the 15th Group Army will resolutely counterattack. Although Zhu Chi left Shen to the south, he was not in charge, "At present, we have secretly deployed a considerable number of troops to patrol the Yalu River. The patrol units were uniformly in armored vehicles and came and went quickly. Before leaving Shenyang, our air force was on 24-hour alert, radar was turned on 24 hours a day, and the patrol fleet in the garrison area was also actively joined in to protect the fishermen. β
According to the agreement, the Yalu River is divided equally between the two countries, with the median line as the border, and the fishermen of each country can sail on their own side with complete freedom.
Zhang Shusheng walked up to Zhu Chi's side, patted him on the shoulder, and dusted his hand, "You don't have to worry too much, at present, there are agents from the Special Intelligence Department who are carrying out in-depth activities on the North Korean side of the Yalu River, and the Korean agents we have trained have already joined this Korean People's Army and have certain powers.
I have only one request, according to my orders, do not hesitate, the base camp does not stop, you will give me a fierce revenge on myself, revenge on the North Koreans, do not have any scruples.
The Axis agreement is just a piece of waste paper, and I hope that you, the frontier generals, must remember this, that the highest glory of the Wehrmacht is always to defend the motherland, and everything else is left to the sidelines. β
Zhu Chi nodded seriously, raised his head, looked at the principal he admired the most, and asked, "Principal, I will keep in mind that this time, if I and the two North Korean devils do not move, once they move, we will give them an absolute counterattack, a fast, lightning, and thunderous blow."
I assure you that it will only take a week at most for the Shenyang Military Region to be secretly mobilized, and it will only take half a month for us to form a cross-border combat capability. β
"Okay, I believe in you, if this battle is fought well, next time, I will transfer your 15th Army to the Far East, at that time, there will be a battle of your Zhu Chi." Zhang Shusheng praised with a smile.
"Yes, Headmaster. The students would rather die than live up to the principal and the countrymen, whether it is North Korea or the Far East, Zhu Chi dares to fight. Zhu Chi saluted again, and then left firmly.
β¦β¦ North Korea, North Pyongan Province, Sinuiju.
This North Korean city on the banks of the Yalu River is more of a town than a city, as opposed to Dandong, China, across the Yalu River.
With the ten-year period of rapid development after the liberation, China's economy has shown a blowout development, people's living standards have been raised step by step, and pieces of factories have been established and mines have been developed. With the diligent efforts of the people, new cities soon sprung up.
At about six o'clock in the morning, two Korean People's Army officers, accompanied by more than a dozen guards, were looking through binoculars at Dandong, China, on the riverside of Sinuiju.
"Comrade Park, what is the impression that China has made on you?"
One of the older officers, who put down his binoculars, let out a long breath, said to the younger officers on the side.
"Comrade Cui, if you look at the scale of the city alone, they are much stronger than I imagined."
Pak Wenwen, who wears the rank of major in the Korean People's Army, has been studying in the United States before, and is one of the very few people in North Korea who can go out in that upside-down and chaotic era, but the reason why he can go out is because of his family.
The Park family has always been one of the spokesmen of the Pak family in North Korea, in other words, it is the annihilation of the DPRK, and Park Wenwen has also been given the opportunity to go to Yuben first and then go to the United States to study.
Deep down, Park Wenwen is not like his father who has become an ancient dynasty, but has a hidden deep patriotism, which is why he applied for military school and then studied at the Tennessee Infantry Command School.
After returning to China, coinciding with the establishment of the Korean People's Army, he successfully passed the recruitment examination, and after he found out his old background, he was directly appointed as a major and deputy chief of staff of the First Division of the Korean People's Army.
Choe Myung was a lifelong native of Pyongyang, his family was close to the colonists, and he served in the Japanese army, and after the formation of the Korean People's Army, he became an officer of the People's Army, serving as a lieutenant colonel.
"Stay away, I'm going to discuss the confidential military situation with Chief Park."
Cui Ming waved his hand and sent away those guards, and behind the big rocks by the river, he and Pu Wenwen were left.
"China has always been the Oriental Dragon lying next to our country, maybe the title of the Oriental Dragon, other countries can be indifferent, but for us, it is the most correct term. They are powerful, their territory is dozens of times our size, their population is dozens of times ours, their national strength is hundreds of times ours, their army is hundreds of times ours, their tanks, planes, and artillery are countless times our ......"
Maybe it was because he had been suppressed for a long time, Cui Ming's voice was a little out of control, but perhaps he realized that there might be guards in the distance, so his voice was lowered again, shook his head, pointed to China opposite, and said, "Paperwork, you haven't been to China, just across a river, through the United States, Yueben, or even North Korea, the strength of China is still not deep enough."
What those newspapers do best is to portray a weak enemy as a strong enemy. This, in turn, renders a powerful enemy nothing more than that.
That's what they did, and in the thirties I was especially impressed.
Do you know? β
Cui Ming suddenly turned around, stared at Pu Wenwen, and said seriously, "Everyone thinks that I was once a member of the invading army, a member of the invading army that once brought infinite painful memories to the Chinese.
Actually, this is not the case at all.
I still remember that it was 1932, I was forcibly enlisted in the army, became a member of the army, and after a short training, we were sent to China in 1933.
However, at that time, after experiencing the attrition of the Chinese Jinzhou defense line, the strength of the Yue army in the northeast was not as good as before, otherwise it would not have formed a large number of our [***] teams to participate in the war.
When I entered China, I saw the flames of war everywhere, burning all the way from the Yalu River to Shenyang.
At that time, the Yue army was completely defeated in the northeast and retreated to Shenyang, and Chinese planes flew in groups over Shenyang and launched fierce air attacks on the positions and key positions of the Yue army in a style of not fearing death.
I once witnessed an air battle with my own eyes.
That day, we had just finished drinking a few grains of gruel and were about to retreat back into the bomb shelter to wait for lunchtime, you know, we were so hungry at that time, not only us, but also the army was also logistically collapsed and lacked supplies.
However, in an instant, a big air battle broke out in the sky over Shenyang, and within our line of sight, at least dozens of Chinese planes were fighting.
We originally thought that those murderous planes who did not hesitate to crash into the enemy in their planes would achieve a certain victory, because we could see many military planes even at low altitudes.
As a result, it blew us all away.
Later, our company, privately counted the downed planes, and the Chinese lost only two planes and injured several of them, and the planes of the Yue army, even if they recovered the airport, were chased by the Chinese planes and all destroyed. β
Speaking of this, Cui Ming took a deep breath, as if letting go of the big stone in his heart, and continued, "Later, I learned from a commander that the Chinese's planes are many, much more advanced than my own planes, they fly higher, faster, more numerous, the pilot's skills are better, and the firepower is stronger, and they have almost all the advantages. β
"Later, you managed to escape back to North Korea...... "Park said, shocked.
"No!"
Cui Ming turned around, stared at Park Wenwen, and said to the best brother in his youth, "I was captured......"
Silence spread between the two. After a long time, Cui Ming said, "I hope you don't refuse my kindness, I will propose to the division commander to let you come to my regiment as the deputy commander, and when the time comes, I hope you will act in unison with me." I don't want you to look at it for my brother's sake, I just think that we shouldn't die for nothing.
China is not something we can provoke, and even if we have to, we should not lose ourselves......"
Coincidentally, at about the same time, on the other side of the river, a group of officers were also observing the other side of the Yalu River, but instead of Dandong, they were observing the Chinese patrols and the Chinese fishing boats that could be found everywhere on the river.
"Yo Xi, the Chinese seem to have let their guard down."
Judging from the patrol density of the patrol team just now and the navigation of the fishing boats, the Chinese have basically lifted their guard some time ago and returned to normal border conditions.
Next to him, a somewhat dazzling-looking, or to be precise, a relatively fat Korean People's Army officer, nodded his head and said with a smile: "The millions of troops of this empire have not only established miraculous achievements in Southeast Asia and formed the East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere, but are also about to win the Far East War, which is a great achievement.
And the Chinese, on the other hand, will be dragged down by the huge USSR, and there will be Americans, and even the British, so many powerful enemies, they will be difficult to deal with. β
Listening to the sycophancy of this North Korean officer, a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the officer of the Yue Army, and then he smiled and said, "Master Jin is right, compared with the steaming empire, the Chinese, even if they win in the end, still have a very long way to go.
They have great power, but they have the wrong way to war. They were too greedy, they should not have dispersed their forces and fought on multiple fronts in the vast territory of the Soviet Union.
Long supply lines, Soviet resistance, American support, if there are some other obstacles, the Chinese, will get bogged down in the Soviet quagmire. β
"Murakami-kun, everything is developing according to the established plan, tomorrow is our North Korean reading power, Kim believes that with the absolute support of the Great Empire, we will definitely form more troops and join the war more deeply, and at the same time, the Chinese will be helpless against us."
Although the two are talking in Chinese, they are mixed with many Chinese idioms, if not for anything else, both of them are Chinese experts.
The former Murakami Yukihito was once one of the spies sent to China by Yumoto, while the latter was smuggled to China many times, hoping to join the Baath Party, but after failing, he switched to Yuya himself.
Yukihito Murakami, a young Zhuang faction in the Korean army, has always been dissatisfied with the current situation, believing that the military department's policies are too conservative and the will of the top brass is biased towards compromising with the Chinese.
This is difficult for Yukihito Murakami to accept.
It's not that he doesn't know China, but because he knows China very well, and the years he has been lurking in China have given him enough opportunities to see the strength of this rising empire.
Many times, he even thinks in his heart that Yuben is becoming less and less imperialist, and the Chinese, on the contrary, are becoming more and more imperialist domineering.
Even the Soviets called them murderous and tyrannical Chinese imperialism, but the military headquarters did not know how to make progress and tried in vain to pick up the leftover Soviet meat scraps eaten by the Chinese.
Yukihito Murakami believes that it is not that there is no opportunity, on the contrary, North Korea is the point where all this possibility is created.
He firmly believed that as long as he could make good use of the North Korean pawn, he would be able to maintain an advantage in the Far East over the Chinese.
First, North Korea is the best springboard for Yuben's ambitions, and it only needs to rush through a narrow river to be rich China, and today's China is far a hundred times richer than it was back then, a thousand times, and Murakami Yukihito believes that even if he robs half of the machinery in the northeast, moves their materials, and robs them of their property and resources, it is enough to make him at least a quarter stronger.
Second, even if all these plans fail, as long as North Korea reads successfully, this series of plans can make North Korea maintain absolute hatred for the Chinese, so as to more thoroughly integrate into the arms of the empire, which is also a wonderful result.
Third, a well-run North Korea will always be more conducive to the strategic future of the country than a North Korea under constant threat from the Chinese.
Turning to look at the commander of the first division of the Korean People's Army, Yukihito Murakami said solemnly, "Commander Kim, I have recommended you to be the commander of this special operation, and I hope that when the time comes, I can see your wonderful performance, which will be a great event that will benefit you, me, you Korea, and our empire." β
Looking at China on the other side, Murakami muttered, "China is too big and too powerful, but they can't stand the Korean feast we have carefully prepared." In their words, this is called the destruction of an anthill by an anthill, and what we have to do is dig out an anthill ......"-
