In the headquarters of the Shengdong Dongfang Army, the operational staff officers were busy and nervous, and the atmosphere before the war was fully revealed. At this time, Commander Bai Sheng and Chief of Staff Wang Jie were discussing something. "Report to the commander, chief of staff, the approval from the headquarters is back!" A general came in to report and handed a letter to Bai Sheng. The letter stated the word top secret. At present, the construction of the limited telegraph from Beijing to Shengjing is being intensified, and it is estimated that the entire line will not be completed until the middle of this year, so the orders issued by the headquarters are still transmitted through the traditional personnel exchanges.

Bai Sheng glanced at it briefly and said: "Chief of Staff, the headquarters has approved our operation, immediately notify the feint attack troops, the main attack force, prepare for the attack, and launch a general offensive on the whole front on April 25." "The operational plan of the Eastern Front is as follows: the number of troops to be put into operation in advance is four armies, the 1st, 5th, 9th, and 10th armies of the Eastern Front. Plus the 1st Heavy Artillery Division, the 2nd and 4th Light Artillery Divisions.

The direction of attack was from Dandong at the mouth of the Yalu River to Huishan via Ji'an and Zhongjiang. Among them, Dandong and Ji'an were the direction of feints, intended to confuse the Japanese army. Zhongjiang depends on the situation, and the real main direction of attack is Huishan, which is located in the northern part of the Gaima Plateau in the northeast of the peninsula. Since the 9th and 10th armies were newly formed troops, the 10th Army was located in Dandong and the 9th Army was located in Ji'an, serving as a feint to attract Japanese troops.

The 5th Army was located in Zhongjiang, and they could use it as the secondary main attack direction if the breakthrough went well, and if the attack was blocked, they would change to a feint operation. The 1st Army was located in the direction of Huishan, and they were to take on the task of the real main attack. If the First Army successfully breaks through the Huishan defensive line, it will then capture Pingshan. The right rear flank of the Japanese defense line on the Zhongjiang River was completely exposed and would be self-defeating. Therefore, the key to the operation in Korea depends on the breakthrough in the direction of Huishan.

The Korean Peninsula runs north-south and is about 1,100 kilometers long from north to south. One kilometer is about 3 Korean miles. Therefore, it is called 3000 miles of rivers and mountains. The northern part of the Korean Peninsula is connected to the Chinese Empire and is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Eighty percent of North Korea's territory is mountainous, plateau, and hilly, with only a small number of river alluvial plains forming in the south. The mountainous areas are mainly concentrated in the north, but it is said that the mountains and mountains in the north of Korea are unique and protect the bloodline of the Goryeo Kingdom. It has long been annexed by powerful inland dynasties.

Of course, a precipitous geography cannot prevent a strong dynasty from annexing a weak dynasty, and there are other reasons for this. But the role of natural barriers in ancient times cannot be overlooked. Historically, the Korean Peninsula has been a time of chaos and secession, and many small tribes are not willing to be lonely. You sing, I'll appear. At the beginning, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Korean Peninsula and conquered the Korean Peninsula, he set up four counties here. After about the 4th century, three major dynasties gradually formed on the Korean Peninsula. Historically, it is called Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje. That is, the Joseon Three Kingdoms period.

In the 7th century, Silla and the Tang Dynasty eliminated Goguryeo and Baekje respectively. In 676, the Luotang War, the Korean Peninsula was conquered by the Tang Dynasty. Later, Silla unified the area south of the Taedong River, and the area north of the Taedong River was inherited by the Balhae Kingdom and other states to which the Tang Dynasty belonged. In 904, the Silla monk Kim Bow descended from the Tae-figung kingdom was established. In 918, Wang Jian, the general of the Taebong Kingdom, established the Goryeo Kingdom. And canonized the country name Goryeo.

In 1392, the Goryeo general Yi Sung-gye changed the state to the state. Its shili expands northward to the Yalu River. Subsequently, the name of the country was Joseon by Ming Taizu, and it was known as the Joseon Dynasty in history. Historically, the Korean Peninsula has been bound and influenced by mainland dynasties, especially Confucianism and Buddhism, which are deeply rooted in the Korean Peninsula. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Korean Peninsula largely survived under its wing, and so far, in short, the Goryeo people simply cannot decide their own destiny.

Due to the great changes in Chinese mainland, the Korean Peninsula has also quickly become a situation of being slaughtered. Currently, the Joseon Dynasty is dominated by Gojong, but the actual power is held by Empress Min. This period was the darkest and most corrupt period on the Korean Peninsula. At present, the foreigners and the Japanese control the Korean Peninsula, and the government controlled by the Empress Min Concubine quickly surrendered and took refuge, and decided to resist the nascent Chinese Empire in order to survive.

Hyesan, a small town, has a unique style of the Korean nation in its architectural pattern, with thatched houses, white walls, and low squirrels, which are a major feature of Korean houses. In one of the few Chinese residential courtyards, the First Army is partially located here. At this time, the generals above the 1st Brigade were seated, and the army commander Zhong Hanli looked at everyone majestically: "The operational order of the headquarters has been issued, and the attack on the whole line will be officially launched on April 25. ”

Zhong Hanli is in her 30s and is a cadet of the second phase of the Shanghai Military Academy. His eyes were small, but they were very insightful. The face is somewhat narrow, clean, and moderate. He looked around, his emotions were the same as those of the generals present, excited and excited. "Ladies and gentlemen, our army will be responsible for the main offensive task of the front army, and the responsibility is very heavy. Whether the first shot of the Korean war can be fired loudly or not depends on us. ”

"Our 1st Army, known as the most capable unit in the Front Army, is a hard-won honor, so everyone must stare at each other, and must not let the honor of the First Army appear humiliating. After the order was issued, all divisions, brigades, and regiments must bravely strive to be the first, carry forward the glorious traditions of the old Northern Expeditionary Army, and once again display our military might. Next, I would like to ask the chief of staff to explain the detailed operational jihua. The chief of staff stood up and walked over to the military map and picked up his baton.

A small mountain village inhabited by Koreans, where the 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the 1st Army is located. In the war room of the regiment headquarters, the regiment commander Zhang Dashan said: "Are the combat missions clear?" "Clear!" All the officers replied loudly. At the end of the military meeting, Zhuang Lei, the commander of the 8th company, mounted his war horse and ran to the foot of the mountain on the right side of the mountain village, where his company headquarters was located. Zhuang Lei is of moderate stature and is twenty-two or three years old. He is a native of Liling, Hunan Province, and graduated from the 5th phase of the Shanghai Military Academy.

Zhuang Lei was assigned to the East Route Corps from the military academy at the beginning of the year and participated in the river-crossing operation. After the end of the Tianjin Campaign, the army expanded, and he was promoted from platoon commander to company commander. From a distance, the Eighth Company was stationed, the military tents were in a row, and the soldiers were basking in the sun outside. After the troops reached the small mountain village, they stopped their normal military training. The soldiers knew in their hearts that the battle to enter Korea was about to begin, so everyone was extremely excited.

In the distance, a dart came, and the soldiers stared at each other. "Squad leader, it's the medical team of the division headquarters, a group of girls." A large soldier could see clearly from an elevation. "No wonder we set up a tent next to us. Looks like this is going to be a field hospital! A stout soldier muttered. Alas! Tell me, if our crotch is injured, how are these female soldiers fiddling! A comically looking soldier with an eerie smile on his face.

"Come on, I don't know what you kid thinks, he can't pull his thighs when he sees a woman, yesterday he stared at the ass of a North Korean girl, and his son was about to flow out." The big soldier scoffed. "Damn, you still said that I, this morning, you pestered that North Korean girl, I can see it clearly, he gave that North Korean girl a small mirror." The funny-looking soldier fought back. The crowd began to interrogate the big man and made a fuss.

"Hey! I've heard that North Korean twives are different," muttered the stout soldier. ", it's all the same taste, when Lao Tzu was a beard, he played with Korean." A bearded soldier glanced dismissively at the corner of his mouth. "Squad leader! What is the taste of North Korean girls, tell us about it! The funny-looking soldier had anticipation in his eyes. Damn, listen to the meat jokes, you come to the spirit, and you will wilt when you learn to read. I'm telling you, you can't hurt the crotch of your pants where you hurt, we need that thing to be passed on from generation to generation, understand? ”

"Squad leader! You're in your thirties, and it's so hard that you don't have a look! The big man asked. There was a Xiang haode, who was a widow who lived in Liaoyang. A few days ago, she sent me a letter, saying that she was pregnant with my seed. Lao Tzu has a queen, even if he dies in battle, it is worth it. When the brothers heard this, their faces showed envy. The bearded squad leader's name is Guan Biao. After the army entered the northeast, it joined the Wehrmacht. Because of his excellent marksmanship, he was recently appointed as the squad leader of a certain squad of the 8th Company.

As they spoke, the female soldiers of the medical team approached, each carrying a medicine box and a red cross armband on their arms. The female soldiers of the medical team looked at each other stupidly, and their faces showed a shy look. In this way, the flashing youthful faces of female soldiers are even more charming. "Okay, don't look at it, it's useless to look at it." The bearded squad leader scolded.

In the distance, a fast horse galloped towards him. "The company commander is back, and the combat mission has definitely been issued!" Big man with sharp eyes. Everyone stood up, the desire to fight, anything was not a problem. Company commander Zhuang Lei jumped off his horse, saw that the soldiers were all surrounding him, and said loudly: "Brothers, the combat mission has been issued, and the whole line will be attacked tomorrow morning." The task of our company was to take the opposite 305 heights. Everyone took a break and carefully checked their weapons and ammunition. ”

After Zhuang Lei finished speaking, he walked into the tent, and the deputy company commander walked in and said, "Company commander, don't you need to discuss the attack plan anymore?" Zhuang Lei smiled: "We have been here for half a month, and the proposed attack plan is very detailed, what else to discuss?" There is no need to be nervous before the battle, let the soldiers relax. Go and tell them that it's okay to drink at noon, but not at night. ”

At lunchtime, Guan Lei raised his wine glass and said, "Our 10 brothers have not gone through the battle formation. Although I have fought hard, it is all petty fights that don't count. There is nothing to say about the military training of the Wehrmacht, everyone has been training for months, and not a single one of them is a bad breed. The other squad leaders have participated in battles, and I have no combat experience, but I will gather everyone and kill the enemy bravely. "Big brother! Don't worry, we will definitely give you a long face" "Big brother, we are not afraid of death!" "The brothers clamored for a declaration of determination."

"You are all my good brothers, I hope you are clever in battle, use your brains to fight, destroy the enemy, save yourself, I hope we live to zuihou." "Cheers to the big brother's good words!" The big man shouted. At noon, we ate pork stewed vermicelli, everyone drank wine and ate meat, fear and happiness were mixed, and a group of iron-blooded warriors must go through the baptism of war to grow up.

The troops entered the starting position, and behind them a regiment of heavy artillery and two regiments of light artillery raised their muzzles, ready to roar at any moment. (To be continued......)

PS: War means death, but also iron and honor.
