Volume 7 Peninsula Smoke of Gunpowder Chapter 35 Raiders
Yuan Qing left the General Staff before dawn and went back to preside over the government work.
On December 19, at 7:30 Beijing time, Deputy Head of the Republic of China Wang Yuanqing issued a formal statement, strongly condemning the US and South Korea's brazen invasion of North Korea and demanding that the US and South Korea immediately withdraw to the area south of the 38th parallel and stop military operations, otherwise all consequences would be borne for this.
A very strong and very clear statement of condemnation.
Although Wang Yuanqing did not propose that the Republic would participate in the war, nor did he propose that when the Republic would participate in the war, according to this statement, the Republic would definitely send troops to North Korea when necessary.
Before Wang Yuanqing issued his statement, news media from countries around the world had already made a comprehensive report on the just-breaking Peninsula War.
Half an hour later, South Korean President Liu Zongchun issued a statement at the Blue House, claiming that he had freed more than 20,000 compatriots from the slavery of the dictatorial rulers. The people of South Korea will not be afraid of any difficulties and obstacles, and will not be afraid of any threats and intimidation. They will concentrate the strength of the entire nation and make every effort to achieve national and national unity.
After Liu Zongchun issued a statement, South Korea entered a state of war.
On the morning of that day, millions of Korean youths who were instilled with nationalist ideas and were bewitched by the remarks of "national unification" flocked to the recruitment site and demanded to join the army and serve.
Because South Korea implements the "compulsory military service system", veterans within 1 are recruited first.
In addition to nationalist ideas, another important reason why a large number of young people actively joined the army was the high unemployment rate. Before the war broke out, at least 2.5 million male citizens aged 18 to 19,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Surprisingly, the North Korean government did not issue any official statement immediately.
The situation in North Korea is understandable. Even if Kim Cheol-nam and other North Korean leaders were not killed, they are trying to avoid bombing from the Korean and US coalition forces. They will not "appear" easily.
It is incomprehensible that the United States has remained silent for an hour after the war began.
It was not until 11:30 Beijing time, that is, 22:30 Eastern Time on the 18th. The spokespersons of the White House and the Pentagon issued statements one after another, claiming that the United States complies with the relevant agreements and treaties signed with South Korea, with the fundamental purpose of quelling the peninsula conflict as soon as possible, and provided appropriate military assistance to South Korea.
It is very ambiguous and also very obscure statement.
The US attitude is very obvious: if it can defeat North Korea quickly, the US military will provide assistance to South Korea; if it cannot defeat North Korea quickly, the US will "get out" at appropriate times.
These two statements reflect the basic policies of the US President-elect Westwood.
In fact, what the US military did was completely contrary to the external statements.
Under the leadership of Zhao Rundong, Xiang Yinghui issued the highest war mobilization order to the participating troops after the war broke out, requiring all participating troops to enter the battle within 2 after receiving the combat order. In terms of choosing the opportunity to participate in the war, Zhao Rundong fully supported Wang Yuanqing's decision and did not allow the army to enter the battle immediately.
In the more than 1c hours after the war started, the busiest one must be the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Although the South Korean and American coalition forces attacked very rapidly, when the South Korean army was stubbornly resisted by the North Korean army outside Kaesong, the General Staff firmly believed that the US military would immediately open up a second battlefield and would not put its main force on the front battlefield. With the Korean army's offensive speed, let alone capturing Kaesong within, it would be good to be able to invade Kaesong within an hour. In this way, it would be difficult for the South Korean army to capture Pyongyang within 7 days. The war would be delayed, and as the Republic completes its preparations for participating in the war, the South Korean and American coalition forces would lose the opportunity to completely defeat North Korea.
In any case, the US military must open up a second battlefield within 36 to 3 hours.
The problem is that the landing forces of the US military are not near the battlefield at all.
At 11:30, the Military Intelligence Bureau received satellite reconnaissance photos and the rapid roll-ro fleet that was staying at the Apula military port in Guam finally set off.
Depart at this time, you will definitely not be able to arrive at the war zone within 36 to 3 hours.
Until around 12 o'clock, a piece of intelligence sent back by the submarine "unlocked" the secret bureau.
Acting in the eastern waters of the Tsinghua Strait, a class attack nuclear submarine that was previously responsible for tracking the US aircraft carrier battle group discovered a huge fleet towards the Tsinghua Strait at night. Because the three US aircraft carrier battle groups that were active in nearby areas had entered the Sea of Japan through the Tsinghua Strait, and the other three aircraft carrier battle groups were active in the southern waters of Japan. The aircraft carrier battle group from Pearl Harbor is still thousands of kilometers away, so this fleet is definitely not an aircraft carrier battle group. In order to avoid being discovered by Japanese anti-submarine patrol aircraft and anti-submarine helicopters in the fleet, the ~class attack nuclear submarine managed to rush to the front of the fleet and ambush the waterway to the Tsinghua Strait. The harvest was very important, and the US amphibious fleet was rushing to the Tsinghua Strait before participating in the joint military exercises!
The C97 sailed out to the outsea until the US amphibious fleet walked away.
After leaving the search range of Japanese anti-submarine patrol aircraft, c97 sent this extremely important message using a communication float.
Because it was delayed for nearly an hour in the middle, when the General Staff received the news, the US amphibious fleet had already entered the Sea of Japan through the Tinkan Strait and was advancing towards the Korean Peninsula.
The Military Intelligence Bureau immediately adjusted the flight orbit of the reconnaissance satellite.
, The reconnaissance satellite discovered that appeared in latitude north, longitude 136 east:
US amphibious fleet.
"In twelve hours, the US amphibious fleet will reach the waters near Yuanshan." Xiang Yinghui immediately reported to Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang, the place where he had just arrived. "The landing time should be between 2:00 and 4:00 tomorrow. Before that, the US military will focus on bombing the North Korean army in Yuanshan and its surrounding areas, cut off the traffic between Yuanshan and the outside world, and prevent the North Korean army from reinforcement. In order to achieve the best effect, the South Korean army will definitely join the reserve force in advance. In addition to attacking Kaicheng, it will also launch a division and encirclement operation against the North Korean army that launched a counterattack on the eastern front, forcing the North Korean army stationed near Yuanshan to maneuver south."
"The fight was too urgent." Zhao Rundong sneered and said, "The South Korean army's combat plan is too ideal and does not fully consider the variables in the combat operations. If the South Korean army enters the reserve team in advance, it will be difficult to launch a rapid assault on the Western Front battlefield. In this way, even if the US military successfully lands in Wonsan, it will have to distribute at least half of its forces to attack westward and assist the South Korean army in surrounding the Korean army south of Pyongyang."
Peng Maobang frowned slightly and said, "Maybe force the US military to join the reserve force."
"Reserve Team?" Zhao Rundong looked at Peng Maobang.
"The 1st Air Assault Division." Xiang Yinghui answered for Peng Maobang, "Japan has agreed to provide an air force base to the United States. The US military has hundreds of large transport aircraft and can transport the air assault troops deployed in Guam to Japan within 24 hours. In addition to the air assault troops deployed in South Korea, the US military will definitely dispatch the 1st Air Assault Division when launching a landing operation to seize military fortresses near Yuanshan, provide support for the landing operation, and lay the foundation for a large-scale offensive operation after a successful landing."
"So, the Korean army is in danger."
"In the long run, the US military dispatched the 1st Air Assault Division in advance will be of great help to us."
Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "The key is whether the South Korean army can successfully capture Kaicheng and march towards Pyongyang. If the South Korean army cannot do it, the US military will definitely put the 1st Armored Division into the western battlefield and speed up the offensive speed."
No one opposed Zhao Rundong's analysis, because the western battlefield is flat and is more suitable for rapid assault by armored troops.
At this time, a staff officer came over and whispered in Xiang Yinghui's ear.
"I just received the news that the first batch of large US transport planes arrived at the Fukuoka Air Force Base in Japan, and the transport site was air assault forces combat personnel."
"The action is indeed fast enough." Peng Maobang sneered, "Now, only the 7th Infantry Division is left to be dispatched."
"The 7th Infantry Division is likely to participate in combat operations on the eastern battlefield." Xiang Yinghui operated on the console and called out the map of the eastern battlefield of North Korea. "The terrain and transportation foundation of Gangwon-do are very poor, and they are not suitable for armored troops. Before the war broke out, the 7th Infantry Division of the US military was stationed in Wonju, and its main combat mission was to assist the South Korean army in Chuncheon area to guard the eastern defense line. Whether the South Korean army can move north quickly, in addition to capturing Kaesong, it is crucial to defend the right-wing defense line. Therefore, the 7th Infantry Division of the US military is likely to participate in the Gangwon-do operation tonight, assist the South Korean army to annihilate the Korean army south of Won-san, and then go north to cooperate with the landing troops to fight."
"The gap in the middle is too big, right?"
Hearing Peng Maobang's words, Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "The Korean army strictly follows the combat plan, and we have nothing to worry about."
Xiang Yinghui was about to say something, but a consultant walked over quickly.
"The deputy head of state called and the North Korean ambassador requested a meeting with the head of state."
"Look for me?" Zhao Rundong was stunned for a moment.
"I must be here to ask for help." Peng Maobang muttered.
"Let him find Xiao Wang.
In addition, tell Xiao Wang that I will be watching here and do whatever I should do."
Xiang Yinghui gave a look to the staff officer.
"Now it seems that the US military has given up the combat operation to land in Anzhou." Zhao Rundong glanced at Peng Maobang and said, "In this way, our combat plan must be adjusted. Although the US military does not land in Anzhou, it will definitely advance quickly towards Anzhou. In this way, within a few days, the US Marine Corps that arrived in Yuanshan is likely to be two marine divisions. Using the railway and highway route from Yuanshan to Shunchuan and then to Anzhou, the US military can arrive in Anzhou within three days and cut North Korea in half. In order to achieve the goal of trying to eliminate the US military's vitality and force the United States to withdraw from North Korea, the plan for airborne operations must be adjusted."
"Will it be planned to be put into the Turtle City Airborne Brigade near Shuncheon?"
"It's not Shunchuan, it's Jieshan." Peng Maobang said it for Zhao Rundong.
Xiang Yinghui frowned, looked at the map, and then understood what Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang meant.
Jieshan is located at the intersection of Anzhou and Shunchuan railway lines and highway lines, and is a strategic center.
"The combat missions of the other two airborne brigades do not need to be adjusted." Zhao Rundong paused for a moment and said in a redirect, "Tell me about the arrangements related to airborne combat."
Xiang Yinghui began to introduce the relevant combat deployments without delay.
