Before the meeting (1)

"Are you all here?" Mr. Peng asked. "It's already here, Liu Hai, commander of the Eighth Artillery Division, Liang Xingchu, commander of the 38th Army, Wu Xinquan, commander of the 39th Army, and the commanders of the 42nd, 20th, and 27th armies have all arrived!" The chief of staff came over and said. "Well, tell them all to go to the big conference room and have a meeting in an hour!" Mr. Peng said. "Why wait an hour?" The chief of staff said strangely. "Because I want to talk to Liu Hai, the commander of the Eighth Artillery Division, first!" Mr. Peng said. The chief of staff was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "I'll arrange it right away!" ”

"Comrade Bangs!" After Mr. Peng met, he unexpectedly called out the name of Liu Hai. Liu Hai was very surprised, it stands to reason that his true identity is strictly confidential, although according to Mr. Peng's level, it is not strange to know his identity, but calling it out so directly also somewhat surprised Liu Hai! "First of all, I want to tell you that your matter has been learned by the Taiwan side! After all, you were the famous god of artillery in the national army, and there were not a few people who had seen you, when the battle was not over, the Kuomintang was either captured or on the other side, and your affairs could be kept secret for the time being, but with many Kuomintang generals and soldiers joining the PLA, it was difficult to keep your identity secret! ”。 Bangs didn't say anything more, he knew it was inevitable, no one's identity could be kept secret forever, especially in the case of himself!

"But there's one thing for you!" Mr. Peng said with a smile: "The Taiwan side vetoed this news, insisting that you have dedicated your life to the party and the state, and your military merits and honors will always remain, in this matter, our party and the country will always recognize your sacrifices and contributions to the country and the nation in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and your subordinates and those soldiers of the national army who sacrificed are all heroes of the Chinese nation, which no one can erase!" "Thank you! Thank you to the party and the country for remembering this, and those dead brothers can laugh at Jiuquan! After Liu Hai heard this, he said excitedly. So from today onwards, you can restore your original name, bangs, if you wish! Mr. Peng said. Thank you, Mr. Peng, I am not important personally, as long as those brothers who died fighting for the country can correct their names, I am personally insignificant! Bangs said excitedly.

"Comrades, our first battle caught the Yankees by surprise, the other side was unwilling, no, gathered a large army to prepare for an attack, and it is not to blame others, after all, they are United Nations troops, planes, tanks, artillery, piles of tigers, armed to the teeth! Let me tell you about the current situation: MacArthur's Christmas offensive failed and became a joke, but now MacArthur has launched a final offensive, and it is menacing! Mr. Peng said this, waved his hand, and the staff officer next to him opened the curtain, revealing a whole set of operational maps.

"You see, this time MacArthur destroyed and blocked all the bridges and ferries on the Yalu River with his air force to prevent China from continuing to increase its troops on the Korean battlefield; Then, the U.S. Tenth Army advanced west through Changjin Lake on the eastern front, and the U.S. Eighth Army marched north from the Cheongchon River on the western front, and the two armies met at Mupyeong-ri, south of the river boundary, and then advanced northward to seize all of Korea before the Yalu River froze. In order to realize this plan, the "United Nations Army" transferred the 25th Division of the US Army in Seoul and the newly arrived Turkish Brigade and the 29th Brigade of the British Army to the Western Front, and transferred the 3rd Division of the US Army, which had just arrived in Korea, to the Eastern Front. The ground forces of the United Nations forces on the front line have increased to five corps, with a total of 13 divisions, three brigades and one airborne regiment, totaling more than 220,000 troops, an increase of more than 80,000 over the first campaign; As for airplanes, there are probably more than 1,200 of them. When Mr. Peng said this, he looked at the officers below and nodded with satisfaction, because the officers below didn't blink their eyes, in fact, this is also expected, these officers are not rolled out of blood and fire!

"Commander-in-chief, just say how to fight, don't scare us with these iron lumps, who didn't crawl out of the pile of guns and shells!" "That is, didn't the eight million U.S. armed troops also be beaten away by us?" "Humph! What's wrong with the U.S. military, when my soldiers hit Yunshan, they used a pickaxe to cut open the heads of four U.S. soldiers, and he said that he understood that the Americans are also fleshy, who is afraid of whom! "That's it, it's not like we haven't seen tanks, planes, artillery, what do planes have, don't we also have anti-aircraft guns? As for the cannon, Commander Zhao, no problem, right? "Huh!" Bangs smiled and didn't say anything! "That's it, Division Commander Zhao and his two regiment commanders fought that awesomely, at a distance of several thousand meters, the heavy artillery was aimed at the machine gun, that was really using the cannon as a rifle!"

"Very good, it seems that everyone in Yunshan has come out in spirit!" Mr. Peng looked at these fierce generals with a smile and said, "Do you have any other ideas besides these!" About the US and UN forces! ”。 When Mr. Peng said this, there was a sudden silence below, and I didn't know what Mr. Peng meant! "Master Zhao, you seem to have something to say!" Mr. Peng looked at his bangs. "Huh?" Liu Hai looked at Mr. Peng, he didn't know what Mr. Peng meant, why did he aim at himself, he was already sitting at the back! As soon as Mr. Peng said this, everyone turned their heads to look at the bangs. Liu Hai looked at the generals around him, pondered what Mr. Peng meant, and thought about the words of these generals just now, Liu Hai seemed to understand what Mr. Peng wanted to say! "Since Mr. Peng has named him, then I'll tell you what I think!" Bangs got up and walked out.

"Before I say what I think, I want to tell you one thing, that is, my name is not Zhao Guoliang, my name is Liu Hai! He used to be the commander of the Honorary Fourth Division of the Kuomintang, and a well-known artillery god in the Kuomintang army! I'm sure you've heard of my name and deeds before! As soon as Liu Hai finished speaking, the officers below were already wide-eyed, and no one could have imagined that the silent artillery division commander in front of him was actually the famous honorary fourth division commander of the Kuomintang! Don't be surprised, in fact, I'm just an artilleryman, and I should do it well in artillery fighting, I don't want to show off myself, but I want to tell you one thing, that is, confidence alone is not enough, the US military has American weapons, and my guns are also American weapons, but I only have artillery, and the other side is from planes to artillery, to machine guns and rifles. The power of U.S. weapons is huge, especially the three-dimensional fire offensive, the impact of infantry and tanks, and the powerful artillery, especially their air force! ”

"Master Liu, what do you mean by that? You mean we should be scared? A military commander stood up and said. That is, before the battle is fought, you will destroy your own morale first, what does it mean? The other commander also said. Don't make any noise, listen to what Master Liu has to say! A military commander said. That's right, since Master Liu has something to say, let's listen to it, after all, he has more experience in using beautiful weapons than all of us, and compared to him, we can all be said to be dirt buns! Mr. Peng also spoke. As soon as Mr. Peng spoke, the people under him naturally stopped talking, and Mr. Peng nodded to the bangs!

"There are only four words I want to say, don't underestimate the enemy!" Liu Hai said, "The last time we did hit the first cavalry division in Yunshan, and also eliminated a part of the puppet army, it seems to be a big victory, in fact, think about it carefully, in addition to being caught off guard, we don't have much advantage in the battle, especially when charging, the enemy's firepower is very fierce, our soldiers are pressed so that they can't raise their heads at all, my cannon does play a role, but the gap in firepower is very obvious!" I want to emphasize that the U.S. military did not react at all in the Battle of Yunshan, and the battle was already over before its powerful ground-to-air firepower and the huge power of the armored assault force could be displayed, but when the 1st Cavalry Division retreated, its air power provided cover, and our pursuing troops were blown down by several heavy * bombs and had to stop the pursuit! But comrades, this time is different, the enemy is fully prepared, and its powerful attack ability to make a three-dimensional breakthrough with ground-to-air firepower and armored forces will be fully manifested, and if we apply the experience of the Battle of Yunshan to fight the battle that is about to begin, we will suffer a big loss! Liu Hai finished saying in one breath, and after listening to Mr. Peng, he nodded happily, that's what he meant!

"Comrades, before I announced the battle plan, Comrade Liu Hai's words, I want to solemnly remind everyone, the US army is not what you call a bread basket, Chairman Mao has said that he despises the enemy strategically and attaches importance to the enemy tactically, I found that many comrades, especially many cadres, after the battle of Yunshan, have the mood of a quick victory against the enemy! Some people also spread rumors, saying that American soldiers are cowards, burrowing their heads into sleeping bags and hitting machine guns, holding * without aiming at the sky, and running backwards with their butts as soon as the bayonet is on! Mr. Peng said this, knocking on the table with his hand, "If our soldiers listen to such words, they will pay the price of their lives!" The reason why I want to correct and even criticize your deadly emotions before the meeting is held! Mr. Peng looked at the officers below solemnly, and the officers were silent!

"I also want to tell you that the next battle will be cruel and hard, and you must not only lose the emotions of underestimating the enemy, but also have a certain amount of mental preparation, do you understand?" Mr. Peng asked. "Got it! A group of officers below said in unison. "Excellent! Now I'm going to announce our battle plan! ”
