Chapter 115: The Town
After wandering around the town for half a circle, the two chose a two-story brick house courtyard on the eastern hillside that was on high ground with a view of the road and looked uninhabited, and entered the house by breaking down the door.
After walking around the house with a white LED flashlight, the two stopped in what looked like a master bedroom on the second floor.
The room has a stove with smoke extraction pipes, a two-metre bed, and the bedding on the bed is still there, as if the owner will come back to sleep at any time.
But judging by the open bedside table, the open drawer of the desk by the window, and the small objects scattered on the floor, the family must have left in a hurry.
There was a dark blue heavy curtain behind the window, and the two of them turned out a white cotton tire and a bed sheet from a wardrobe, and after tearing the sheet into strips of cloth, they tied the two corners of the cotton tire on both sides of the curtain lever to cover the window more tightly.
Zhang Qian turned the LED flashlight to the brightest and placed it in the middle of the room with the head facing up, then sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Well, it looks like the family has fled north, let's use this as a base these days." ”
Li Jingjin unloaded his backpack and satchel one after another, threw them to the side, turned off the flashlight and put them in his trouser pocket. He said, "How can you conclude that the Holy Army will definitely march north from this main road. ”
"This highway is the closest road from Busan to Seoul. ”
Li Jingjin said: "But do you understand the art of war, the history books say that during the ancient Civil War, General Kim Il Sung judged that the American army would land on the peninsula from here, but later General MacArthur decided to land from Incheon. So how do you know that the enemy will do what you want? ”
"Because there are scouts from the Holy Army in Busan, and their drones have been frequently appearing over the coast here recently," Zhang said. ”
Li Jingjin said: "This may also be a kind of art of war that they use, in your China, it is called Ming Xiu Plank Road Dark Chen Cang." ”
"That's a strategy and tactic under the conditions of symmetrical warfare, and when a mechanized army is faced with an army that uses primitive weapons, it doesn't have to think about it," Zhang said. Besides, don't we have a division of labor with NIS, and they have also notified people from other coastal cities to squat. ”
Lee Kyung-Kim said: "But if the Holy Army lands directly from Inchon and captures Seoul, won't the entire southern part of the peninsula become their possession?" ”
Zhang Qian said: "There is also this possibility, modern warfare is to be fought like this. However, when I discussed with their leaders at NIS, we agreed that this was a special asymmetric war, and that the strategy of the Holy Army could not be analyzed and judged by traditional thinking. ”
Li Jingjin said: "Then what final conclusions have you drawn? ”
Zhang Qian said: "First of all, the current strategic goal of the Holy Army is to conquer all the people of the peninsula, not your leaders in the north and south, because now the leadership function has been greatly weakened, and the leaders have surrendered, and the people will not necessarily surrender, and the Americas are the best example." Therefore, it is very likely that the Holy Army will fight steadily and steadily, encroaching on the entire peninsula step by step, and controlling all the people of the peninsula one by one, which is the most beneficial tactic for them. In our Chinese words, this is the way they are least likely to get caught up in the vast sea of the people's war. Secondly, if they occupy the central part of the peninsula first, they will need to fight on both sides, both to the south and to the north. Such a two-front battle is not good for them. It's like five or six people catching a hundred sheep, should they catch them one by one from one side of the flock, or should everyone jump into the middle of the flock and start catching? ”
Li Jingjin said: "Well, this analysis does make sense. And if the holy army occupies Seoul first, they will have to face your army that may support the peninsula in advance when they fight north. ”
Zhang Qian said: "Before I came to the peninsula, I heard the leaders above say that they hoped that the north-south coalition would be able to solve the holy army on the peninsula, and we would definitely give the peninsula full material and even manpower support." Of course, not that we are afraid of them, but that we do not want the scale of the war to spread to all of Asia. ”
Li Jingjin said: "By the way, aren't you worried about the Holy Army landing directly on the Northern Peninsula?" ”
Zhang Qian said: "This possibility is not impossible, but it was basically rejected at the Blue House meeting. Because the Holy Army should not dare to face military pressure from us too early, and at the same time, to be honest, the national mobilization capacity of the North Peninsula is a little stronger than that of South Korea, so occupying South Korea first is the most correct way for the Holy Army in the battle of the peninsula. Of course, the North and South Peninsula have also communicated and reached an agreement that if the Holy Army lands on the North Peninsula first and causes some damage, the Korean National Defense Forces can directly go north to support the KPA without being invited. ”
Li Jingjin said: "I heard General Li say that you are developing a substance to replace steel, and you have made a breakthrough? ”
Zhang Qian said: "I heard President Park say that the progress is quite smooth, and the notice we sent to various countries did not say what the specific substance is, only that it has some characteristics of steel, but the manufacturing cost is high and the process is complicated, and it will take some time before mass production." ”
Li Jingjin said: "How long is a certain time, and when will the equipment using new materials be equipped with the North-South coalition army?" ”
Zhang Qian said: "I don't know about this. It can only be said that the current situation is that our country can barely protect itself, but it will take uncertain time to take the initiative to attack the Holy Army, and it will depend on the progress of the research of the new material simplification process and the expansion of the production base, so it will definitely take longer to support the armies of various countries in terms of weapons and equipment, and the Holy Army should also know the progress of China's research and production, so it is in a hurry to land on the peninsula and gain a firm foothold. Then, while we had not yet massively equipped ourselves with new weapons, we immediately continued our march north. ”
Li Jingjin said: "As a person sent from above, you don't know the progress of your country's weapons, and you keep mentioning what the president says... The enemy's weapons are so advanced, and there are many lurkers, so it's time to strike or infiltrate your new material research and development base. General Lee told me that Lao Mei had almost come up with a steel substitute, but then the secret research institute was attacked due to enemy infiltration, and their troops were still a bunch of cowboys without machinery and guns. ”
Zhang Qian said: "I'm not a high-level person, how can I know so many secrets." However, I do know that the new material research and development base and the production base are not in the same place, and the secrecy level of these bases is very high, they are all very deep underground, not many people know where they are, and the enemy has no way to bomb them. In addition, the new material weapons are now equipped with a small number of defensive troops, such as some radar, laser cannon and artillery positions have been restored, so it is difficult for enemy aircraft to get close to those bases. Reliable sources confirm that the air defense forces did shoot down an unmanned reconnaissance plane from the Neon Country that flew into the nearby waters not long ago. Our intelligence officers are very good, and it is very difficult for enemy spies to infiltrate. ”
