Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

As it rolled down, it hit big trees and rocks continuously.

His head was split open.

Under normal circumstances, many soldiers would have rushed to see him and helped him up. But now, with the soldiers scrambling to escape, no one cared whether Walker was dead or alive. As a result, Walker, a distinguished lieutenant general who had participated in the invasion of Mexico, fought in World War I, and World War II, and had made great achievements, lay half-dead on the ground. No one cared whether he was dead or alive.

The 65th and 71st Armies are good at infiltration and encirclement.

In a matter of seconds, they separated these panicked American troops. Then, like chasing rabbits across the mountain, they annihilated them one by one. Many of the American troops were exhausted. After two days and three nights of intense combat, they no longer had the energy to continue.

Soon, large numbers of American troops began to surrender.

Major General Hobart Gay, commander of the 2st Cavalry Division, Major General Kaiser, commander of the 25nd Division, and Major General William Keane, commander of the th Division, surrendered one after another. Thus, the Second Battle of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea officially ended.

On the Western Front, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army deployed the 20th Corps and the 50th Army, totaling over 40 troops. They completely annihilated four US divisions, three divisions of Syngman Rhee's puppet army, two British infantry brigades, and one Turkish brigade. They routed two of Rhee's puppet divisions, forcing one division to escape. The Eighth Army was completely annihilated, with 14 enemy troops killed, wounded, or captured.

The 13th Corps deployed approximately 35 troops on the Eastern Front, completely annihilating one US division, six US infantry regiments, two divisions of Syngman Rhee's puppet army, and routing two US divisions, killing, wounding, and capturing 8.4 enemy troops.

Lieutenant General Walker, commander-in-chief of the U.S. Eighth Army, became the highest-ranking general killed in the first battle of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

With the first battle over, the march to Pyongyang was imminent. The 74th Army, for example, could reach Pyongyang in a matter of hours. However, Shtykov and Jinricheng approached Wei Hongjun to discuss the troops' march to Pyongyang.

851st Sino-North Korean Joint Command

"With the end of the first battle, there are no more obstacles to the troops' advance into Pyongyang. From the Chongchon River to the Imjin River, the military forces of US imperialism and its lackeys have been basically eliminated. This area is now a blank."

On October 1950, 10, Shtykov and Jinricheng came to discuss the troops' next combat plan.

This time, both Shtykov and Jinricheng were very polite. The Volunteer Army's record was truly brilliant, almost unbelievable. But Shtykov and Jinricheng had been watching the battle the entire time, so they knew the Chinese army hadn't exaggerated its achievements.

It can be said that after the first battle, the Volunteer Army suddenly had a halo around its head. The Chinese army defeated the arrogant American army. Of course, this also included a huge halo around Wei Hongjun, the commander and political commissar of the Volunteer Army. This halo around Wei Hongjun was not a halo blown by others, but a halo earned on the battlefield. Not to mention Shtykov, even Stalin in Moscow could not ignore Wei Hongjun's opinions. If Stalin, or the Soviet military, had some ulterior motives before, they wanted to give the Soviet military advisory group a certain amount of power in command.

After this battle, both Stalin and the Soviet military completely dispelled such thoughts. The Chinese army was so powerful, with generals like Wei Hongjun, that they didn't need the help of a military advisory group. Therefore, after Shtykov and Jinricheng arrived, they first congratulated the Volunteer Army on its victory and spoke highly of Wei Hongjun.

Then they began to discuss the next battle plan, mainly about the march into Pyongyang.

Jinri Cheng discussed the matter very amiably: "Comrade Wei Hongjun, I know that our Chinese comrades have sacrificed a lot to achieve such a glorious victory. On behalf of the North Korean government and the North Korean people, I pay my highest respects to our Chinese comrades. However, Pyongyang is, after all, the capital of the Korean People's Republic and plays a vital role in North Korea. We need Pyongyang, and Pyongyang needs us. So, when it comes to the troops marching into Pyongyang, could you consider our Korean People's Army?"

If this was just the beginning, Cheng wouldn't be so polite today.

Will directly put forward their own ideas.

But it's different now.

Although he made his attitude clear, he was not aggressive.

Wei Hongjun and Deng Guo remained calm, while Gan Siqi and Zhu Liangcai merely frowned. Zheng Weishan and Chen Zhonghe were furious. "What do you mean by 'considering the Korean People's Army'? Isn't it just about wanting the Korean People's Army to be the first to enter Pyongyang?'"

The volunteer army suffered such heavy casualties that led to the current situation.

Do you still want to pick peaches?

Although Zheng Weishan was now the deputy commander of the Volunteer Army and the commander of the 20th Corps, and a senior cadre of our Party and Army, his hot temper remained, and he stood up with a bang.

Wei Hongjun waved his hand and asked Zheng Weishan to sit down.

Although Zheng Weishan had a bad temper, he was convinced by Wei Hongjun, so he sat down indignantly.

Jinri Cheng's face turned unhappy when he saw Zheng Weishan like this. He knew that the senior generals of the Chinese army did not agree with his ideas. But he could not say anything, so he looked at Wei Hongjun.

Wei Hongjun, however, was remarkably composed. He remained calm, primarily because he had considered this issue and even discussed it with Deng Guo. He didn't really care which unit entered Pyongyang first. The Volunteer Army had its own system for commending troops, and they had already won a significant victory. There was no need to use Pyongyang to garner credit for Wei Hongjun or any other unit. There was no need.

In comparison, Today City really needs this now.

Today's city needs Pyongyang to improve its reputation, and needs the North Korean government to use Pyongyang to stand before the world again.

However, Wei Hongjun didn't care, but he couldn't give this thing away casually. If Wei Hongjun gave in casually, how could the two families cooperate in the future, and what would the generals under Wei Hongjun think?

Wei Hongjun needs to take all these into consideration.

So Wei Hongjun avoided the question and changed the subject: "Comrade Jinricheng, can I ask about the current situation of the Korean People's Army?"

"After this period of reorganization, the First, Second, and Third Corps of the Korean People's Army have been restored to their original organization, with a total strength of approximately 60,000. The Fifth Corps is also stationed in the Imjin River area, with approximately 10,000 troops."

Today's City briefly introduces the current situation of the Korean People's Army.

Wei Hongjun was very surprised.

Originally, the Korean People's Army retreated to the Chongchon River area, with only about 20,000 troops in organized units, the rest being Party and government officials. Unexpectedly, only two weeks later, Jinricheng had managed to gather so many troops from nowhere.

But this has nothing to do with Wei Hongjun.

How many troops he could muster was Jinricheng's skill. Furthermore, the stronger the Korean People's Army, the more useful it would be in future battles. Of course, Jinricheng and Wei Hongjun had previously clashed over the Korean People's Army. Not all of the dispersed Korean People's Army officers and soldiers returned to their units. Some simply stripped off their uniforms and left the army, while others secretly contacted the Volunteer Army units in organized groups, expressing their desire not to return to the Korean People's Army but to join the Volunteer Army.

After the Volunteer Army secured the front, many individuals were held accountable for the defeat. Not only high-ranking officers, but also many lower-level officers and soldiers were held accountable. Some who failed to return to their units within the stipulated timeframe were captured and executed by the North Koreans. This was a truly excessive act. After the Incheon landing, the various units retreated via different routes, and many were scattered along the way. Those who were able to follow through and return to their units should have been commendable. Yet, the North Koreans executed them for crimes similar to desertion.

As a result, many officers and soldiers who were supposed to return to the team no longer dared to do so.

Many of the disbanded Korean People's Army officers and soldiers had previously served in the People's Liberation Army. They were willing to continue fighting against US imperialism, but were unable to join the Korean People's Army, so they simply joined the Volunteer Army. They were familiar with the Chinese military and even had historical connections with many Volunteer Army units. Some Volunteer Army commanders had been comrades with them. After all, many had served in the Eighth Route Army since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Jinri Cheng approached Wei Hongjun several times about these people, hoping he would have his troops hand them over. Wei Hongjun rebuffed them, citing the troops' disarray during the battle, and the matter was subsequently dropped.

Now that Wei Hongjun has won a great victory, Jin Licheng doesn't want to fall out with Wei Hongjun over those few people, so he doesn't mention this matter anymore.

Wei Hongjun heard that the Korean People's Army now has more than 60,000 people north of the Chongchon River, so he said: "The Korean People's Army has begun to recover its combat effectiveness and will soon be able to go to the battlefield. What I mean is that we need to establish a Sino-North Korean joint command as soon as possible to unify the command of the Sino-North Korean joint forces. Only when our two forces are closely united can we completely defeat US imperialism and its running dogs.

When he first entered the court, Deng Guo had already talked with Jinri City.

But it didn't work.

Of course, at that time, the Volunteer Army had just entered North Korea, so their words didn't carry much weight. But now, when Wei Hongjun spoke, the weight was completely different.

"Unification of command is indeed very important in war."

Shtykov agrees with this.

Seeing that Shtykov agreed, Wei Hongjun looked towards Today City.

After all, the volunteer army was going abroad to fight, and they needed the support of the North Korean government. After all, there were also issues related to the use of railways and roads within North Korea, as well as how to interact with the North Korean people, which all needed to be dealt with.

And there will be wars later.

The two sides must fight together.

The Chinese army can't handle everything. However, with so many troops fighting, the most undesirable thing is for each to fight independently, without coordination between the troops. Therefore, completing joint command as soon as possible is the top priority.

Today's Chengdao: "Currently, in addition to the First, Second, Third, and Fifth Corps, our Korean People's Army is also restoring the Fourth Corps and actively mobilizing new recruits. We are also training new recruits in China. All together, we should have 20 troops within six months.

Wei Hongjun looked at Deng Guo.

Deng Guo shrugged.

Because both of them understood that Jinri Cheng was trying to change the subject. He asked about the joint command, but he brought up the situation of the Korean People's Army. To put it bluntly, he didn't want to continue discussing the joint command of the Chinese and North Korean forces. But this issue had to be resolved as soon as possible.

The timing is right now.

There is time to solve this problem. We can't have a war in the future without solving this problem.

So Wei Hongjun said: "I think we can temporarily set up a joint command group of the Chinese and North Korean armies, consisting of the three of us, Comrade Shtykov, Comrade Jinricheng and me.

"That won't work.

Hearing Wei Hongjun's suggestion, Shtykov shook his head repeatedly.

Dao: “Without orders from Moscow, I cannot decide on such a big matter.

Wei Hongjun was waiting for this opportunity.

So he said: "Comrade Shtykov, you just agreed to form a joint Sino-North Korean headquarters as soon as possible. I think you can send a telegram to Moscow. We can all listen to Moscow's opinions and Comrade Stalin's opinions. This matter cannot be delayed."

"well"

The decision of when to take Pyongyang is now in Wei Hongjun's hands.

As long as Wei Hongjun is willing, the 74th Army can send troops to occupy Pyongyang today, which will only take half a day.

Jinricheng refused to accept Wei Hongjun's proposal to establish a joint Chinese-North Korean command, nor did Wei Hongjun accept Jinricheng's proposal to allow the Korean People's Army to enter Pyongyang first. As long as Jinricheng dared to allow the Korean People's Army to move out privately, Wei Hongjun would dare to allow the 74th Army to take control of Pyongyang in advance.

The current situation was that the formation of a joint Chinese-North Korean military command required Jinri Cheng's approval. However, Jinri Cheng also needed Wei Hongjun's approval for matters related to Pyongyang. Ultimately, the two men reached no agreement.

It can't be said that they parted on bad terms, but the conversation between them was not very pleasant either.

After sending Shtykov and Jinricheng away, Deng Guo frowned and said, "Old Wei, this matter must be telegraphed to the country. The Korean People's Army has been growing in strength. There are nearly 10 Korean People's Army troops currently receiving training in Northeast China. Although Comrade Jinricheng's words are a bit exaggerated, it should not be a problem for the number of Korean People's Army to exceed 20 within a year. Moreover, the Soviet Union has always supported the Korean People's Army, and a large amount of weapons and equipment are continuously entering the Northeast to equip the Korean People's Army. As long as they are trained, the Korean People's Army can

Restore combat effectiveness. 20 troops, deployed to the front lines, are a vital force, and we cannot allow them to fight haphazardly on the front lines. If there is no unified command of so many troops on both sides, chaos will inevitably occur during the battle.

This was not the era during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression when one or two companies could establish a base.

At that time, everyone worked independently and did not require much cooperation.

But now this is a large-scale military operation.

Each battle involved hundreds of thousands of troops. Such large-scale operations required close unity. If unified command could not be achieved, the troops would fight on their own, easily allowing the US military to exploit loopholes.

Wei Hongjun nodded.

He said: "Then send a telegram to the Central Committee in your name and my name. Let the Central Committee communicate with Moscow again. It is necessary to establish a joint Sino-North Korean headquarters as soon as possible.

"it is good."

At this time, Chen Zhonghe said: "Commander, how do we solve the Pyongyang issue?"

"Why, are our troops anxious?"

"yes.'

Chen Zhonghe said directly: "Right now, all the troops are sending telegrams to the headquarters, asking what to do next. In fact, they are all asking which unit the headquarters should allow to enter Pyongyang first."

This is an honor.

Although Pyongyang is not a big city, it is the capital of a country after all.

Which unit advanced to Pyongyang could be recorded in their military history. Wei Hongjun looked at Zheng Weishan and Zhu Liangcai and said, "Are you also worried about this?"

"Yes."

Zhu Liangcai smiled bitterly.

He said: "Our 20th Corps won a great victory in the first battle, completely annihilating the Eighth Army. Every unit performed well, and they all believed that they were qualified to be the first to enter Pyongyang. In order to be the first to enter Pyongyang, several units were secretly competing."

It is indeed difficult at this time.

There are currently no obstacles to advancing into Pyongyang, and everyone is vying for credit.

They all believe that they are qualified to be the first to enter Pyongyang.

In terms of merit, the main achievements were against the British and American 65th and 71st Armies, which fought tough battles. The 74th Army held Samsori for over hours, forcing the Eighth Army to take a detour, which was also a great achievement.

But these three armies are all Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei troops.
