"Hehe, Senior Commander Liu, you are really amazing, five hundred heavy trucks and two thousand trucks of materials have all been transported out, and now the inventory in the north is all out, it's so cool!" Minister Hong patted Bang Hai on the shoulder and laughed. "This task is not easy, my brain is about to explode in the past few days, and I finally completed the task!" Bangs rubbed his head and said. "The two lines of railways and highways are the trick of attacking the east and the west, and you are actually playing it amazingly, Li Qiwei is now afraid that he is scolding his mother in the headquarters!" Minister Hong said happily. "He should also be on fire, his thousands of planes have blown up tens of thousands of our soldiers and civilians for half a month, and he should also fight a drip!" Bangs said. "Don't say it, come on, come on, I don't count what merit you make, but last time my old comrade-in-arms brought a bottle of Moutai, it's okay to reward you!" Minister Hong said.

A plate of greens, two sweet potatoes, a plate of Korean kimchi, and two bowls of noodles! "Minister Hong, this, this is the reward?" The bangs are a little hard to believe. "The conditions are limited, so let's do it! These are all dishes, mainly this bottle of wine! "Minister Hong took out a bottle of wine, which was filled with a gourd!" Dirt bar? Also Moutai? Bangs looked at the gourd. Running around on this battlefield, the bottle is not safe, the gourd is much stronger, and it will not break if it falls to the ground, come on, come on, drink it! "Minister Hong opened the gourd and poured it on the bangs! It is not easy to drink Moutai on this war-torn battlefield, and Liu Hai happily took a sip! "This..." Liu Hai glanced at Minister Hong strangely. "Hehe, in order to save more drinks, I took a little Northeast burnt knife, but the flavor of Moutai is still there!" Minister Hong said. "Said a good reward ... This? ”

"Division Commander Liu, you have worked hard, now our equipment is complete, tanks and artillery are also complete, although the ammunition reserves are not sufficient, but there is a certain amount, it is enough to fight a battle, and I will send a little more intermittently in the future, and the defense in the later stage of the campaign is not a big problem, since the opening of the war, we don't have so many ammunition reserves, Hong Xuezhi didn't mean anything to you?" Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai was also in a good mood, patting Liu Hai's shoulder and said. "You better give me a credit, it's much more reliable than fake Moutai!" Bangs said helplessly. When Liu Hai told him about the matter, Mr. Peng also laughed and told Liu Hai that he was about to make a decision on the operational meeting of the fifth campaign, and that he would criticize Hong Xuezhi for Liu Hai at that time.

"Hong Xuezhi, before the meeting, I want to criticize you, Master Liu transported 500 heavy trucks of equipment and 2,000 cars of supplies, and you drank a bottle of fake wine to others?" Peng Dehuai looked at Hong Xuezhi. "No, no, no, Moutai is real, and burning knives is also real, it's just that they are mixed together, and you can drink two kinds of wine at a time!" Hong Xuezhi said. "Have any of you ever seen Moutai and burnt knives mixed and drunk? Punish you for making a bottle of real Moutai for Comrade Liu Hai to drink within a week! There must be no mistake, this is an order! Mr. Peng said. Be! ”

"Everyone is here, right? We're here for a meeting! "Mr. Peng sat on the chief and looked left and right, Chief of Staff and Deputy Commander Han Xianchu, Logistics Minister Hong Xuezhi, and Operations Minister Deng Hua and Liu Hai are all here!" The golden fat man hasn't come yet! Hong Xuezhi said. Don't wait for that dead fat man, what to do, what to eat is not enough, let's just decide, just let him do it! Peng always said with some impatience. Today is an internal meeting, the main thing is that we will decide first, and then discuss it with you when we are done! Mr. Peng said. Then just say it, how are you going to fight? Hong Xuezhi asked. After our 3rd, 9th, and 19th Corps have all arrived, our army's first-line strength has exceeded twice the strength of the US army's first-line combat forces, and we can launch a counterattack on the entire north of the 38th parallel and drive the enemy back to the south of the 38th parallel. My opinion is that the troops on the Western Front should be withdrawn to the front line of Jinhua and Cheorwon, and the enemy should be put into the area south of Jinhua and Cheorwon," said Mr. Peng.

"However, the main forces of the US army are on the western and central fronts, and I advocate that our army's current front be withdrawn from Jinhua and Cheorwon, and the enemy should be put in the area north of Jinhua and Cheorwon. If the enemy is put in a larger depth, the enemy's waist will be cut off, so that the enemy will not have time to retract, so that our troops can encircle and create an opportunity to destroy the enemy in formation. If we were to fight in the area south of it, because of the lack of depth, as soon as we attacked, the enemy would shrink back like a black *, and we would not be able to destroy the enemy in formation. Therefore, it is advisable for our troops to retreat further and give up enough territory for the enemy to fight. As soon as Hong Xuezhi's suggestion was finished, Han Xianchu and Deng Hua nodded in agreement.

Liu Hai also felt that it was reasonable, because Hong Xuezhi's opinion was considered in accordance with Chairman Mao's proposal to eliminate tens of thousands of enemies in the establishment. According to the lessons learned in the previous battles that there has been no more annihilation of the enemy, the main reason is that the enemy is fast, our army can not run on two legs on four wheels, several times surrounded, due to the lack of depth, the result is that the mechanized enemy quickly ran away, for the speed of the advance of the US army Liu Hai is very impressed, for the speed of retreat is even more breathtaking!

However, Peng Dehuai had a different opinion: "Tieyuan is a plain, and the terrain is open, which is convenient for the mobility of US tanks and troops, and is not conducive to our army's operations. At the same time, there is an important material warehouse of our army in the mountainous area north of Tieyuan and Jinhua, where a large amount of grain and ammunition are piled up, and if it is bombed, it will directly affect the progress of the fifth campaign. Retreat further, what about the materials in the Wukai? That's what Peng Dehuai was worried about!

Hong Xuezhi patted his chest and said, "That's easy, now that I have a car, I promise to move it all north within two nights." Liu Hai also knew what Hong Xuezhi said, at this time, a large number of Soviet cars had been equipped with transport troops, and the air defense capability of the volunteer army had also been further improved, and Hong Xuezhi believed that it was certain to complete this task. However, Liu Hai could see that Mr. Peng did not intend to fail to adopt this method of play, and there was another reason, that is, the strength of our army had greatly exceeded that of the enemy, and he was still sure of encircling and annihilating the enemy into a formed division or regiment, and he was confident in his own ideas. Hong Xuezhi still insisted on his own opinions, and wanted to find an opportunity to do Mr. Peng's work again, but the internal meeting did not reach a result, and several people decided to discuss it tomorrow after discussion!

In the entire volunteer army, Hong Xuezhi and Peng Dehuai are relatively casual, they often play chess, Peng Dehuai loves chess, Hong Xuezhi can't compete. In the past, when Chairman Mao's son Mao Anying was there, he was asked to be a referee, but now no one dares to be a referee, so he will let him go a little, after all, he still makes Peng Dehuai happy and asks him to adjust his mood. After playing chess, Hong Xuezhi brought up this matter by the way: "Mr. Peng, I still think it's inappropriate to put the battlefield south of Tieyuan and Jinhua, as soon as we attack, the enemy will retreat, they are four wheels, we are still two legs, how can we catch up?" In the first few battles, we did not destroy the US army in formation, and this is the loss we suffered! Mr. Peng, think again. ”

"This time is different from the last time, through the efforts of Comrade Liu Hai, we have already hoarded the front line before the launch of the fifth campaign, our army's logistics work has been strengthened, and the logistics organization of the volunteer army has been increased to six branches, two port offices, 31 major stations, and 39 hospitals. The logistics unit has also increased by 11 transport regiments, 17 baggage regiments, 8 manpower transport regiments and 8 independent battalions, 11 stretcher regiments and 8 logistics warehouse guard regiments. By the beginning of this month, we had stockpiled 30 million catties of grain and 3 to 5 bases of ammunition! Peng Dehuai said, "This time our logistics are unprecedentedly sufficient, and with these powerful logistics support, we will have a greater certainty of winning the war!" ”

"Mr. Peng, you are really a shopkeeper!" Hong Xuezhi said: "As your logistical staff officer, I have three staff rights, I used it once when I was in a meeting, I used it once just now, and now it is the last time to advise you: Although the logistics support has improved, it has not fundamentally improved. On the Korean battlefield, the number of volunteers and railway, highway, logistics personnel, and front-line migrant workers has reached 1 million, and the food and drink for these 1 million people can only be guaranteed to the minimum supply standard, and it cannot meet the needs of the volunteers in combat. In each battle, each soldier only carries 5 days' rations, and after 5 days, he has to wait for logistics to replenish, once the supply is not enough, the troops will starve, once the enemy retreats again, we will chase again, and if we chase away, the rations will not be supplied! Hong Xuezhi said: "Mr. Peng, think about it again, it is very beneficial for us to put the enemy closer!" ”

However, Peng Dehuai did not adopt Hong Xuezhi's opinion in the end, and later this battle proved that Hong Xuezhi and others' opinions were correct. Although the U.S. troops were driven back to the south of the 38th parallel on the Western Front, they never annihilated a large number of formed U.S. divisions. So much so that Peng Dehuai later mentioned that he had several miscalculations in his life, and this was one of them! Mr. Peng, who made up his mind, immediately held a pre-war meeting to announce his battle plan!

In fact, at this time, Li Qiwei of the US military was indeed on fire, because thousands of US planes fought with the air force and anti-aircraft fighters of the Volunteer Army on the railway line for several days and nights, and after losing dozens of bombers and fighters, intelligence came from the ground, saying that the Volunteer Army had just carried out a large-scale vehicle replenishment, and now the logistics support and grain and ammunition storage of the Volunteer Army had reached an unprecedented height. And scolded the commander of the Air Force fiercely!

"Now the Chinese are full, there are enough bullets, there are enough shells, even the Air Force is enough! We are all about to become the Chiang Kai-shek of Taiwan, and you are the same transport captain as Chiang Kai-shek! Li Qiwei put down the cup in his hand. Now order all the units on the front line to be ready for battle, especially those South Korean troops, give them more weapons and ammunition, and give them less cars and gasoline! Chinese, it's time to attack! ”
