Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

After the two sides entered 1950, there were hundreds of military conflicts of varying sizes. Finally, this military conflict evolved into a war, and the armies of both sides began to fight. The North Korean troops were strong in combat and directly crossed the

The 38th parallel forced the South Korean troops to retreat step by step. When the news came, the central government immediately began to pay attention to the situation on the Korean Peninsula.

Of course, at the beginning, the central government was not sure.

It was unclear whether this was just a military conflict or a real war had broken out. However, the news that followed made the central government realize that a real war had broken out. The central government immediately communicated with the Soviet Union and North Korea.

I want to know what exactly happened and the attitude of the Soviet Union and North Korea. Soon, the Soviet Union and North Korea responded to the Central Committee without hiding anything. Because at this time, the Soviet Union and North Korea had to make peace with the Central Committee.

The country is communicating.

After receiving their reply, the Central Committee immediately sent a telegram to some of the Central Committee leaders outside, asking them to come back quickly. Especially Wei Hongjun, the Chairman now wanted to hear Wei Hongjun's opinion. When Wei Hongjun came back

It was already the third day of the war. Wei Hongjun had just returned to Beijing and went to the Chairman's residence.

The chairman sat at the door.

The ground was littered with cigarette butts. Seeing Wei Hongjun approach, he waved and said, "Have a seat."

After Wei Hongjun sat down, the Chairman asked, "Have you heard about the situation on the Korean Peninsula?"

"Yes."

"What do you think will happen to the Korean Peninsula next?"

The central government attaches great importance to the affairs of the Korean Peninsula.

However, no substantive meeting has yet been held. Only after the Central People's Government held a meeting did the Premier condemn the US warship's entry into the Taiwan Strait. No further concrete response has been made.

Because the Chairman wants to listen to the opinions of other central leaders.

Exchange ideas with everyone.

Then the Politburo and the Military Commission were convened to discuss how to respond.

Wei Hongjun said: "Chairman, I have been paying attention to the situation on the Korean Peninsula. I believe that the next war on the Korean Peninsula will go through three stages. In the first stage, the North Korean army will be unstoppable and capture the South Korean army.

North Korea has been preparing for war in the past two years, and has purchased a large number of tanks, artillery, and aircraft from the Soviet Union to equip its troops.

The combat effectiveness of the troops has increased significantly. At present, the North Korean troops are well-equipped and the officers have experience in commanding wars, so the combat effectiveness of the troops is still very strong. In comparison, the troops on the South Korean side are all the original pseudo-

The army and the pseudo police force themselves have little combat effectiveness. In recent years, the United States has not properly reorganized them, nor has it provided them with as much weapons as the Soviet Union. Therefore, the weapons and equipment of the South Korean army are also better than those of the North Korean army.

North Korea is weaker. The United States currently has few troops in South Korea. In this battle, South Korean forces are absolutely no match for North Korean forces."

"In the second phase, the U.S. military intervened in the Korean Peninsula War, but the trend of the war was still that North Korean forces had the upper hand. The U.S. would never watch the entire Korean Peninsula fall into the hands of North Korea.

All of them became socialist countries. The founding of New China was a huge blow to the US policy in the Far East. If the US fails again on the Korean Peninsula, it will severely damage the US influence in the Far East.

If the Korean Peninsula loses again, it is very likely to cause a socialist revolution in Asia. Many Asian countries will turn to the socialist camp headed by the Soviet Union, and many countries are likely to have socialist revolutions.

The United States will definitely intervene in the Korean Peninsula and will not allow the Korean Peninsula to become a socialist country. However, the United States currently has about 100,000 troops in the Far East, mainly stationed in Japan and the Philippines.

Even if it is considered intervention, it is impossible for there to be too many troops in a short period of time. Therefore, even if the United States intervenes in the war on the Korean Peninsula, North Korea will still have the upper hand within two or three months.

"Although North Korea will have the upper hand at this stage, it's almost impossible for them to completely eliminate the US and South Korean forces. As long as the US military intervenes, they will be temporarily at a disadvantage. But as long as they control a certain area in South Korea, relying on the US military's powerful navy and air force, they can completely hold on to that area and prevent North Korea from taking over the Korean Peninsula."

"In the third phase, the United States made preparations and intervened in the Korean Peninsula War on a large scale. At this time, the North Korean army's front line was stretched out. If the effective forces of the US and South Korean forces could not be eliminated in a short period of time,

If they are stuck in a city or a place in South Korea, the North Korean troops will have loopholes everywhere. Once they are attacked by the US military, especially when the US military uses its powerful navy and air force to stop the North Korean troops,

The situation on the Korean Peninsula will take a sharp turn for the worse.

"When the war on the Korean Peninsula enters its third phase, the US military is likely to take advantage of the favorable situation to cross the 38th parallel and try to completely control the Korean Peninsula. That will be the time for us to make a choice.

To send troops, or not to send troops."

The chairman was silent.

Because what Wei Hongjun said was not much different from what the Chairman himself thought.

In recent years, the United States and the Soviet Union have been engaged in fierce tit-for-tat warfare in Europe. However, overall, the United States has the upper hand. However, this is not the case in the Far East, where the United States has suffered severe setbacks.

Especially the founding of New China.

It was the biggest failure of the United States' Far East policy.

Even now, there are still many people in the United States who are clamoring to hold the US responsible for the failure of its "China policy". It can be seen how much of a failure the US Far East policy has been after losing China. Therefore, the US will be more cautious about the Korean Peninsula.

If it were just a problem on the Korean Peninsula, China wouldn't be so worried. But if the United States is involved, the problem becomes much more complicated.

After a while, the chairman said, "So what do you think we should do now?"

"Make all preparations, especially prepare to send troops to North Korea. The Korean Peninsula must not be controlled by the United States. At that time, our Northeast will become the forefront of the US-Soviet Cold War. And Northeast my country is currently the most important

The industrial base must not be allowed to become a place for competition between the United States and the Soviet Union."

The Chairman understood Wei Hongjun's attitude.

Although the war on the Korean Peninsula had just begun, the Chairman knew the attitudes of most of the central leadership. Everyone had various concerns, some of which were that it would affect the construction of New China, and some were worried about the powerful United States.

Some are concerned about completely severing ties with Western countries if a war breaks out. Overall, everyone's opinion is clear: China cannot actually send troops to the Korean Peninsula.

At the Politburo level, the only one with such a clear attitude was Wei Hongjun.

In 1948, Wei Hongjun has been expressing his views on the Korean Peninsula issue. Now Wei Hongjun's attitude is even clearer. As long as the United States sends large-scale troops to intervene in the Korean Peninsula issue and crosses the th parallel,

When an enemy threatens China's border, China should decisively send troops.

"Tell me more specifically."

"First, establish the Northeast Border Defense Army and the North China Border Defense Army. Use the previously established American-equipped troops and Soviet-equipped troops as the basic troops, and equip them with specialized artillery units, anti-aircraft artillery units, and engineering units. At the same time, let the Northeast

The leaders of the Military Region and the North China Military Region have also joined the leadership sequence of the Border Defense Army. This will make it easier to adjust the relationship between the Military Region and the Border Defense Army. The Northeast Military Region and the North China Military Region fully support the Northeast Border Defense Army and the North China Border Defense Army.

Form and ensure the logistics of the troops. Let these two border guards make all preparations for entering North Korea. Once the situation on the Korean Peninsula is critical, the troops can quickly enter North Korea. Only by making all preparations can we deal with any crisis on the Korean Peninsula.

What situation.

Historically, after the war on the Korean Peninsula, the central government also established the Northeast Frontier Defense Army.

But in fact, the Central Committee and the Military Commission paid limited attention to the Northeast Border Defense Army. It was not until the US landing in Inchon and the rapid changes in the situation on the Korean Peninsula that the Central Committee and the Military Commission really paid attention to the Border Defense Army.

Actually, we were a little late in preparation.

Just look at the Ninth Corps.

However, in this time and space, the troops have made a lot of preparations.

"Except for the Northeast Border Defense Army and the North China Border Defense Army, all the military regions below must be prepared. Each military region must have at least one army ready to enter North Korea. As long as the Military Commission gives the order, they can directly participate in the war without any delay.

Wei Hongjun also suggested to the Military Commission that they negotiate with the Soviet Union as soon as possible.

Import more planes and trucks from the Soviet Union.

Although a large number of aircraft and trucks have been introduced in the past two years, there is no such thing as too much after a war. Moreover, once the war breaks out, the logistics will require gasoline, medicine, military uniforms, and military rations.

Even gasoline barrels for transporting gasoline are in serious shortage in China. We must try to collect as much as possible before the real war breaks out.

The Chairman talked with Wei Hongjun for about two hours.

According to the Chairman's proposal, the Premier chaired a meeting of the Central Military Commission the next day, and all important cadres of the Military Commission attended. Including Vice Chairman Nie Shuai, who had no division of labor in the Military Commission, and members of the Military Commission such as Wei Hongjun.

Join the meeting.

The meeting discussed the issues of defending national defense and forming border defense forces.

Everyone expressed their opinions at the meeting.

Most of the people in the Military Commission have been fighting on the battlefield for twenty years. Although everyone has different attitudes towards the North Korean issue, everyone understands the principle of being prepared.

So everyone agreed to set up a border defense force just in case.

In particular, Yang Quanwu, Chief of the General Staff, and Zhao Lu, Director of the General Logistics Department, had already made preparations for this, so they both clearly supported the establishment of a border defense force.

Three days later, the Premier chaired another meeting of the Central Military Commission, summarizing everyone's opinions and formally deciding to establish the Northeast Border Defense Army and the North China Border Defense Army. At the same time, the organization and personnel list of the border defense army were determined.

The Northeast Border Defense Army and the North China Border Defense Army were organized as follows: each border defense army had five armies, three artillery divisions, four rocket artillery regiments, four antiaircraft artillery regiments, three engineering regiments, and 20 motor transport regiments.

The border defense force has about 5000 trucks and a total strength of about 35. Among them, there are four rocket artillery regiments, two of which are Katyusha rocket artillery regiments imported from the Soviet Union, and the remaining two are rocket artillery regiments imitated by China itself.

group.

Overall, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force is much stronger in all aspects than in history.

Historically, the 13th Corps of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army had only about 1300 vehicles when it entered North Korea. Nearly half of the vehicles were lost after the first battle. As a result, the logistics of the troops could not keep up. This time, the Military Commission decided that the Northeast Frontier Defense Army and

The North China Border Defense Forces each had around 5000 trucks, greatly improving their mobility and logistical supply capabilities. Of course, even this number of trucks wouldn't be enough if a real fight broke out, requiring tens of thousands more.

Including rocket artillery regiments.

Historically, when the Volunteer Army first entered North Korea, there was only one rocket artillery regiment, which was a Chinese-made rocket artillery. But this time, the Northeast Border Defense Army and the North China Border Defense Army will have a total of 8 rocket artillery regiments, and there will even be

More.

It can greatly enhance the firepower of the troops.

The number of anti-aircraft artillery regiments has also increased a lot.

At the same time, the corps organization was restored.

The Northeast Frontier Defense Force was re-designated the 13th Corps, and the North China Frontier Defense Force was re-designated the 20th Corps.

Deng Guo served as the commander of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army, Xia Houwen, the second deputy political commissar of the Northeast Military Region, served as the political commissar of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army, and Zhou Huan, the third deputy political commissar of the Northeast Military Region, served as the deputy political commissar and political commissar of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army.

Li Xinxi was the Chief of Staff and Director of the Logistics Department of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army. Han Xianchu was the Commander of the 13th Corps, and Li Zhongquan was the Political Commissar of the 13th Corps.

Zheng Weishan was appointed as the commander of the North China Frontier Defense Army, the fourth secretary of the Southeast Branch, Zhu Liangcai, the deputy political commissar of the Southeast Military Region, was appointed as the political commissar of the North China Frontier Defense Army, and Lei Jiabin, the commander of the Chahar Military Region, was appointed as the deputy political commissar of the North China Frontier Defense Army.

He was appointed Commander and Head of Logistics Department of the North China Military Region. Zheng Weishan was appointed Commander of the 20th Corps, and Zhu Liangcai was appointed Political Commissar of the 20th Corps.

After the Military Commission approved the plan to establish a border defense force, it reported it to the Central Committee.

The Central Committee approved the Military Commission's plan and formally established the Northeast Frontier Defense Army and the North China Frontier Defense Army.

While China was preparing, the United States was also busy. On the third day after the outbreak of the Korean War, the Korean People's Army captured Seoul. That night, General Douglas MacArthur, the US Far East Commander in Tokyo, Japan, made a request to Washington.

The request for deploying ground combat troops was approved by US President Truman and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

On the fifth day of the Korean War, MacArthur formed an advance team from the 24th Division of the Eighth Army and entered the Korean Peninsula. However, five days later, they encountered the Korean People's Army and were beaten and scattered.

After that, the 24th Division of the US Army landed on the Korean Peninsula, but was repeatedly defeated by the Korean People's Army. In desperation, they could only blow up bridges to stop the Korean People's Army.

MacArthur originally said that two divisions would be enough to defeat the Korean People's Army. However, the Korean People's Army was more powerful than MacArthur imagined. So MacArthur changed his attitude and said that four divisions were needed.

A division to solve the North Korean problem.

On the thirteenth day after the outbreak of the Korean War, the UN Security Council, in the absence of the Soviet Union, passed a resolution to establish the "United Nations Command" and appointed MacArthur as the commander-in-chief of the "United Nations Command."
