Chapter 6: Game 2

In February 1945, when the Second World War was coming to an end, the U.S. fleet was about to reach the Japanese mainland, and Japan looked like it was going to be defeated, but it had no intention of surrendering at all, but was frantically clamoring for a decisive battle with the United States.

The Japanese will not just talk but not practice, they have prepared a terrifying plan of 100 million jade crushing for the decisive battle on their homeland, which is roughly to call on every Japanese to turn into a human bomb and use suicide to exchange one for the limit of the US military.

The president of the United States is still Luo Sifu, and his staff told him that if Japan really adopts this two-hearted plan, then the US military will need at least more than one million US soldiers if it wants to take the Japanese mainland.

For this reason, Luo decided to pull an ally to deal with Japan with the United States no matter what.

Thus, the Yalta agreement was born.

The content of the Sino-Soviet friendship conditions signed between the Soviet Union and Chiang was basically the same as that of the Yalta Agreement.

In 1945, the Kuomintang was still in power, and the Kuomintang was fully supported by the United States.

The United States wanted a naval base, and the Shunlu and Lian Da Bowel were leased to the United Soviet Union, and the Middle East and South Manchurian railways in the north and east were also handed over to the United Soviet Union.

Outer Mongolia became independent. This point is because the Outer Mongolia region is too close to their Trans-Siberian Railway, and even a distance, only need to erect a fort on the border line of the Outer Mongolia region, which can directly cover the big railway

Sakhalin and its adjacent islands, as well as the Kuril Islands, were assigned to the United Soviet Union.

This was the Yalta Agreement, the United States and Britain agreed, and the Soviet Union sent troops to fight Japan.

Anyway, it is not their own interests that are harmed, and the United States and Britain certainly agree.

Although the coastline of the Union is very long, it is close to the Arctic Circle, and once it is winter, the ice is too deep for ships to navigate, and Shunlu and Lianda are the only naval bases in Northeast Asia that operate normally all year round.

In fact, there is another one in the Soviet Union, Vladivostok, but in winter, there is also a period of ice, and the most critical point is that from Vladivostok to the Pacific Ocean, you need to pass through the waters of Japan, a sworn enemy.

Vladivostok is not very ideal as a naval base.

With the founding of the People's Republic of China and the return of Shunlu and Lianda to New China, Sri Lanka had to find a new naval base for their navy.

In Northeast Asia, apart from Shunli and Liondae, which are suitable as naval bases, the only two options are the Korean Peninsula.

New China can't walk that way, but there are better choices.

The Korean Peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and each location is very suitable for serving as a naval base, but it is obviously not advisable to launch armed operations directly by the United Nations Soviet Union.

Si is thinking of a foolproof solution.

So, there is the next development.

In the early 1950s, in order to alleviate the military pressure on the Soviet Union in Western Europe, the United States openly stated that South Korea was not included in the US military's 'defense ring' in the western Pacific.

This opportunity gave Si hope.

At dawn on June 25, with the support of the United Soviet Union, Kim ordered his troops to cross the 38th parallel and launch a surprise attack on South Korea, and the Korean War broke out, and the Cold War entered its climax.

At this time, Si's foresight was far from being revealed.

Sri Lanka has long seen the shamelessness of the US side.

In 1947, the United States manipulated the United Nations to establish the 'United Nations Provisional Committee for Korea', avoiding the Security Council, and the following year, the so-called Stick State was formed in the South Korean elections.

Despite their superficial public statements that South Korea is not included in the U.S. military's 'defense ring' in the western Pacific, it is clear to everyone that the U.S. attaches great importance to its interests in the Far East.

In mid-1949, when the U.S. military withdrew from South Korea, it left behind a large number of military advisers to train more than 60,000 troops for the Syngman Rhee government in South Korea, but these 60,000 troops did not have heavy firepower weapons such as tanks and artillery, and in addition to the troops, they also had a 35,000-strong police force.

The United States, like the United Nations Soviet Union, did not want the situation on the Korean Peninsula to erupt, so they controlled the firepower configuration of South Korea, at least they could not get them to attack on their own initiative.

In 1950, the vast majority of these 60,000 troops were new recruits, and they faced Siye, who had fought the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and had the most powerful light infantry combat effectiveness on the surface.

The gap can be imagined.

At the time of the War of Liberation.

Our army is in a huge crisis in the North East.

At this time, only the North Manchurian base area and the South Manchurian base area of the Songhua River were the base areas of our army in the northeastern region.

As long as the South Manchurian region can hold on, then the Kuomintang will have to divide its forces, taking into account both the north and the south, and if it cannot concentrate its forces to form a breakthrough, Xie Fangjun will have the opportunity to occupy the heel north of the Songhua River.

Once South Manchuria is lost, the Kuomintang will have no worries and can concentrate its forces on attacking the North Manchurian base areas.

Behind the South Manchurian base area is the Yalu River, and the North Korean government, which is across the river, has given all kinds of help to the South Manchurian base area at this critical moment.

Throughout the Liberation War, North Korea received more than 15,000 wounded soldiers and housed more than 180,000 logisticians and their families.

From June to December 1947 alone, more than 210,000 tons of supplies were supplied, including a large amount of Japanese military supplies.

Help with the transfer, help to transport troops and military supplies.

Since ancient times, China has had the idea that 'the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring', not to mention that during the critical period of the struggle for the North East, North Korea gave so much help to North Manchuria and South Manchuria, and the affection for this is immeasurable.

Even if North Korea was controlled by the Soviet Union at that time, it may have been the Union that really instructed it.

And the next development of the situation is consistent with Sue's thoughts.

As in 1947, under the manipulation of the United States, the United Nations Security Council urgently passed the proposal of the United States and decided to form a United Nations army to provide all military assistance to the sticks.

When voting, Sue was missing.

It's just that Si saw the shamelessness of the United States, and knew that the United States would definitely manipulate the United Nations like in 1947, so whether they went or not, the result was the same.

Moreover, the entry of the United States into the Korean battlefield is in line with his plan and expectations.

Whether he joins or not, it is in his favor.

U.S. troops joined the battlefield and carried out the Inchon landing.

Follow-up plans came as scheduled.

The United Nations forces completed the counteroffensive as quickly as possible, and the North Korean People's Army was repelled in one fell swoop.

The defeat was like a mountain.

Siye suffered numerous casualties, and all kinds of heavy weapons and equipment were discarded, including tanks, artillery, anti-tank weapons, and so on.

The UN forces soon brought the war to the Yalu River, and even the arrogant MacArthur sent planes to bomb the Sino-North Korean border.

What Si is looking forward to is whether the Chinese army will send troops.

Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't have troops in the middle of the.

All Si has to do is watch the fire from the other side.

Without sending troops, the United Nations forces will soon be able to bring the flames of war to the banks of the Yalu River, place tanks on the other side of the Yalu River, build airfields on the other side of the Yalu River, and build naval bases on the Korean Peninsula across the sea from China.

China does not have the ability to establish a defensive line on the Sino-DPRK border to resist the United Nations forces, and then the Soviet Union will be able to enter the situation and take back the two Hao army bases of the Great Brigade and the Brigade under the pretext of stationing the navy and confronting the United Nations forces.

Under the pretext of transporting troops, tanks, artillery and other weapons and equipment, they want to return to the Eastern Railway.

Although North Korea is gone, their naval bases and railroads are still there.

In addition, when Sri Lanka withdrew its troops in 1948, it had thought about abandoning North Korea, and the North Korean border was not suitable for building a naval base due to the cold winter, and the occupation of North Korea required the expansion of both Europe and North Korea.

Once the pole of the Cold War explodes, the Soviet Union will have to fight on two fronts.

One battlefield is in southern Europe, and the other is eastern Korea.

The only thing that connects these two places is the Trans-Siberian Railway, and if there is an accident on the railway, the two places cannot be connected, and if you stick to Europe, the US military can attack from North Korea, and if you hold North Korea, the US military can attack from Europe. Moreover, the center of gravity of Europe is more important than that of the Korean Peninsula.

Abandoning the Korean Peninsula and occupying the naval base of the Great Brigade and the Brigade, the Eastern Railway is actually a no-lose choice.

Secondly.

How can a new country that is poor and white, a country that needs Soviet assistance even for aircraft, and a country that does not have tanks and navy, can defeat the United Nations army, which occupies an amphibious advantage on land, sea and air.

They will be defeated very quickly, and the UN forces will still be able to occupy North Korea, and when the time comes, they will attack, and the situation will be the same as the former.

Si is completely a snipe and a clam fight, and the fisherman profits.

He thinks more about the former.

As for the latter, he firmly believes that New China, which has just been founded less than a year ago, does not have the courage to fight the 16-nation United Nations forces with the strength of one country.

It's just that.

He underestimated China, and even more so the determination of the Chinese nation to protect this hard-won happiness.

The plan to reduce military spending by 1.5 million troops was quickly halted, and the plan to form a border guard army was put on the agenda.

The 42nd Army, the only one to carry out the task of reclamation in Heilongjiang, quickly brought weapons and equipment, took a train, and assembled in the areas around Tonghua and Meihekou, ready to standby.

Here, the 42nd Army began to train and prepare for war.

At this moment, the 38th Army is still reclaiming wasteland in the Yellow Flood area.

Most of the Yellow Flood areas are concentrated in Nanhe, Hui'an and other places, and before the end of the year, the triumphant return team received the task of reclaiming wasteland on the way, and went to the Central Plains non-stop to carry out the task.

At the end of June, the 38th Army remained motionless in these areas.

Many soldiers and commanders did not know what was happening, but Commander Liang of the 38th Army received a secret telegram from Jingbei, which was related to the war on the Korean Peninsula and mentioned the proposal to establish a north-east border army.

Commander Liang seemed to realize something.

Didn't sleep all night.

The vast majority of the 38th Army was composed of soldiers from the North East, who were quite familiar with fighting in cold areas, and were the main force, and the establishment of the North-East Frontier Army was bound to absorb the 38th Army.

Some relatively sensitive fighters also seemed to sense the movement of their superiors, and they felt a momentum of impending wind and rain.

Night.

Xia Yuan soaked his feet and listened to the chatting of everyone in the room.

"Why did this demobilization suddenly stop moving?"

"I don't know, two days ago, Instructor Hu was still shouting and talking every day, doing ideological mobilization, but now it is suddenly silent."

"This is the decision of the superiors, what you discuss, don't discuss." If you want to say that the happiest person is the eldest Liu, if he is not mobilized and demobilized, it means that he can continue to stay in the army, which is a good thing.

"The squad leader is happy."

"No, everyone knows that the squad leader doesn't want to leave the army the most."

Xiao Heping also joked: "The squad leader stays, and I can continue to eat the food cooked by the squad leader in the future." ”

A soldier said: "Don't say it, if the squad leader leaves, we will have to adapt to the change of taste for at least a while." ”

"Hahahaha."

Everyone laughed.

I am happy for Da Lao Liu from the bottom of my heart.

Only Xia Yuan knew that in less than four months, they would go to the Korean battlefield.

The 38th Army was the first batch of troops to fight in Korea.

"You kid, what are you thinking, you look preoccupied." The elder Liu noticed that Xia Yuan beside him didn't speak or move his feet, and when he looked at his face again, he was heavy, and he seemed to have a lot of worries.

He likes this kid a lot, he is clever and sensible, and he doesn't say a word when he works.

He was only sixteen years old, and to have this kind of patient mind was very suitable for being a warrior.

"Nothing." Xia Yuan shook his head, his thoughts were a little messy, he didn't remember the time very clearly, he only knew that the incident of going to Beidong was probably in July and August, and he really forgot what day it was.

However, it is now the beginning of July, and it is estimated that it will be soon.

On July 5, 1950, when U.S. ground forces took part in the first battle against the South Korean Army, MacArthur had expected the Korean People's Army to panic as soon as the U.S. Army appeared symbolically. After all, the U.S. military at that time was in full swing, and in every battle it participated in, there were almost no defeats.

Especially in the Pacific War, in the face of the murderous Japanese army, the U.S. military broke out with strong combat effectiveness.

However, what they didn't expect was that the opponent they faced was Siye, who had participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation.

Even in North Korea, Siye was scattered on the Korean battlefield by Kim, so that they could not unite with each other, but a single force could hold the two Korean People's Army in Kim's hands to the ground and rub them.

The U.S. forces encountered unprecedented resistance and suffered heavy casualties, forcing them to retreat.

Twenty-five years later, in 1975, Time magazine, published in Japan, gave this description of the battle: When the American troops retreated, they only took the wounded and left the dead with the Stars and Stripes.

The U.S. military, which participated in the war in Korea for the first time, did not show much combat effectiveness, but the country has begun to take precautions.

On July 7, the third day before the U.S. military entered the war, the issue of a national defense conference was held in Gyeonghoku.

The meeting, which lasted for several days, focused on whether the entry of the U.S. military into the war would have an impact on the North Korean army, and after the meeting, it was decided that the North Korean army would not be able to resist the attack of the U.S. military if it entered the war.

During this period, the U.S. military was the most powerful country in the world.
