Volume 7 The smoke on the peninsula Chapter 88 The turtle caught in the urn

At 20:00 on the 27th, Beijing time, Shinyiju, North Korea...

The press conference held by Choi Junzhe, the head of the North Korean Provisional Government, lasted only one hour. Although Choi Junzhe did not answer reporters' questions and did not mention anything substantial, hundreds of reporters from all over the world smelled a strong smell of gunpowder from Choi Junzhe's speech.

Five minutes after the press conference, NN took the lead in making comments and reports.

According to NN's report, Choi Junzhe emphasized that North Korea "takes Seoul as its capital", firmly pursues the "policy of friendship with China", firmly supports the "China-** team's combat operations in North Korea", and completes several key points such as "national and national reunification" in various ways, proving that China will "go to the end" of the Peninsula War. The ultimate goal is not to fight back to the 38th parallel, but to help North Korea "annex" South Korea, and the scale of the Peninsula War will continue to expand.

Other TV stations also quickly made relevant comments, all of which believed that the Peninsula War would not stop at the 38th parallel.

At 20:30, the press was still hotly discussing when, where, and how the Chinese Army would cross the 38th parallel. The Ministry of Defense of the Republic announced the latest "results" in the form of a war report.

The U.S. Army's First Fleet entering the Korean territorial waters of Jianghua Bay was annihilated by the Republic Air Force!

Global public opinion suddenly became in an uproar.

The North Korean Provisional Government just announced its sovereignty over the entire Korean Peninsula, and the Chinese Air Force killed the US fleet that entered the "South Korea's territorial waters". This was obviously a premeditated action. The Chinese Air Force had long wanted to kill the Diqi Fleet. The North Korean Provisional Government issued a statement only provided China with a reason to attack the Diqi Fleet!

The press's eyes immediately turned to the White House and the Pentagon.

Although the United States has not announced the news of the Fleet, there is a "learning from the previous ones" of the second to the amphibious Fleet. No media doubts the fate of the Fleet.

The Chinese Ministry of National Defense dared to mention the word "annihilation" in the news announcement. The No. 1 fleet is absolutely in danger.

While the press was eagerly waiting for news from the United States, the battle in Haizhou entered a state of heat.

The 773rd Brigade of the Quick Rebels arrived at the suburbs of Haizhou as fast as possible. Ling Yunxiao did not give the enemy time to prepare. Before the 1st Armored Division organized an assault, the 1st Armored Battalion and 1 Mecha Battalion of the Quick Rebels took the lead in breaking into the Haizhou city and advanced to a crucial port.

The US 1st Armored Division did not react slowly. Immediately organized an armored battalion and an infantry battalion to launch a counterattack.

In the first half of the night, the two sides were fighting for the Zainingjiang Bridge east of Haizhou. This was the only passage into Haizhou. If the US military was allowed to occupy the bridge, the troops entering Haizhou city would be completely besieged. Ling Yunxiao sent an infantry battalion to guard the bridge. Two armored battalions were deployed on the west side of the bridge to fight mobile defense with the US armored forces.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the fast anti-revolutionary brigade, which only has wheeled armored vehicles, is definitely not an opponent of the heavy armored troops.

Fortunately, the main force of the 1st Armored Division had just set off from Shaliyuan and was on the way to Haizhou. The US military had only two battalions of the counterattack and less than 50 tanks, which did not pose a great threat to the 773rd Brigade of the Express Resistance Againstment.

The battle lasted until 22:30, and Ling Yunxiao allowed the troops who broke into the city to be defensive.

It was not until this time that Pei Chengyi confirmed that the Tiqi fleet had been wiped out and that no US military ship could only reach Haizhou Port. Under this circumstance, it was no longer meaningful to capture Haizhou Port. If the US military wanted to evacuate, it could only use helicopters and tilted rotary wing aircraft to take the troops away. Because the air supremacy over Jianghua Bay was in the hands of the Republican team, the US military did not dare to rashly send air transport forces to Haizhou. Pei Chengyi did not allow the Kuaishou 773 Brigade to retreat, because as long as the Kuaishou 773 Brigade was "nailed" in Haizhou, the US 1st Armored Division would have to leave most of its forces in Haizhou and defend the flank defense line, so that the 1st Army of the South Korean Army would take on the main combat mission of attacking Qinghe.

With the combat effectiveness of the South Korean military and local governments, it is impossible to defeat Qinghe, who was airborne by the 163rd Brigade and the 772nd Crash Rebel!

The 1st Armored Division of the US Army has become a turtle in the jar, and Pei Chengyi has adjusted the battle deployment again. The 6th Army and the 24th Army have already attacked Pyongyang and are clearing the South Korean troops in the city, preparing for the North Korean provisional government to return to Pyongyang. The vanguard of the 27th Army arrived at Longgang, north of Nanpu at around 22 o'clock. Because the 1st Armored Division of the US Army had evacuated Nanpu, leaving behind a Korean infantry division, Pei Chengyi did not ask the 27th Army to attack Nanpu immediately, but first assisted the 61st Army and the 24th Army to clear the South Korean troops into Pyongyang. The 21st Army arrived at the field at 22:30 and was advancing towards Yantan. It is expected to arrive at Yantan at around 2 a.m. on the 28th. The 373rd Brigade of the 383rd Brigade of the 383rd Brigade of the 383rd Brigade of the South, and can join the combat operations of encircling and annihilation of the 1st Army of the South Korean Army at any time.

The question before Pei Chengyi is whether to eat the 2nd Army first or the 1st Army first.

At first, Pei Chengyi decided to fight the 1st Army first and prepare for the next attack and opening the city. The most important thing is that if the 1st Armored Division is ready to retreat from Haizhou, it must first cut the 1st Army on the western battlefield and send at least two armored assault brigades to Haizhou to assist the 773rd Brigade in the Fast Resistance to prevent the 1st Armored Division from "escape".

The situation changes, the 1st Armored Division

Falled.

Pei Chengyi adjusted his combat arrangements and decided to kill the 2nd Army first.

From the overall situation of the war, if you want to conquer Seoul (after North Korea announced that Seoul was the capital, the Republic changed Seoul in the official document to Seoul), it would be best to first annihilate the 2nd Army of the South Korean Army, make a breakthrough on the eastern front, and pose a threat to the 3rd Army of the South Korean Army guarding Seoul from the flank. If the South Korean army can be forced to take the initiative to give up Seoul, they can occupy Seoul without blood and push the front south to hundreds of kilometers.

Compared to dealing with the US military with only more than 20,000 troops, it is much more troublesome to deal with the 2nd Army with more than 200,000 troops.

Even if the Korean army does not resist, it will take several days to recruit more than 200,000 Korean troops!

The battle to encircle and annihilate the 2nd Army of the South Korean Army began in the early morning of the 28th. The main forces were the 36th Army and the 173rd Airborne Brigade. The air assault brigade carried out the battle division and interspersion mission. In order to leave enough troops to enter Kaicheng, Pei Chengyi did not let the 373rd Armored Brigade and 383rd Armored Brigade into battle, but instead sent the reorganized armored 5411th Armored Brigade and 542nd Armored Brigade to Yuanshan to serve as a battle reserve.

Unlike in the first battle, the two brigades affiliated to the 54th Army were "mixed brigades", and they were both dissatisfied with the staff.

At that time, Pei Chengyi could not find any other reserve teams, so he could only reorganize the 54th Army in Hamxing to reorganize three brigades into two brigades and go to the front line as soon as possible. At the same time, the brigades of the 37th Army and the 38th Army were also reorganized, but the reorganization work was not going smoothly and he failed to arrive in Yuanshan in time.

At this time, the ending of the second battle was already very obvious.

It is only a matter of time that the Korean and US coalition forces north of the 38th parallel have been wiped out.

At 4:30 a.m. on the 28th, Major General Heckel, commander of the 7th Infantry Division of the US Army, handed over his gun to the brigade commander of the brigade, Brigadier General Lee, ordered the officers and soldiers of the 7th Infantry Division to stop resisting and surrender to the Republican team. According to the combat records of the 7th Infantry Division, a total of 17 officers and soldiers surrendered in the 7th Infantry Division, including 6,439 seriously injured.

By dawn on the 28th, the low-altitude assault troops completed the battle division operation against the 2nd Army of the South Korean Army.

More than 200,000 Korean troops were cut into three parts. There were about 50,000 people in the Western Group near Houpingli, about 10,000 people in the Central Group near Tajili, and about 60,000 people in the Eastern Group near Xiaokunli.

In order to relieve the pressure of airborne the 173rd Brigade, Pei Chengyi decided to annihilate the largest Central Group first.

The main attack was not the armored forces, but the artillery and aviation (including the Army Aviation).

The battle started at 7:00 on the 28th, and the first round of artillery fire preparations lasted for nearly 120 minutes. The three armies' direct long-range artillery brigades and 1c artillery battalions of 5 brigades continued to project hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition to the South Korean military positions, barracks, material storage points, and armored clusters, with a total of nearly 50c0~: ammunition! During this period, the Air Force and HNA dispatched nearly 200 fighter jets and threw about 4,500~: ammunition. The Army Air Force was unwilling to fall behind, and hundreds of armed helicopters focused on attacking the South Korean military's fortifications and armored forces in the form of "fixed-point removal".

The largest firepower strike since the beginning of the Peninsula War destroyed the morale and fighting spirit of the South Korean army.

Although the aviation forces undertake a large number of strike tasks, the strike ability of the "God of War" cannot be denied by anyone. The artillery units of the Republic Army used an extremely gorgeous performance to prove that no combat force could truly replace artillery. In large-scale wars, artillery still has an unshakable position!

According to external estimates, the Republic Army only takes 3 to 5 days to "eat" the 2nd Army of the South Korean Army!

Facts have proved that the outside world's estimates are too "optimistic".

On the 28th, the 36th Army and the 173rd Airborne Brigade accepted a total of nearly 20,000 prisoners of war.

Without any strength to fight back, the Korean army had to choose to surrender if they wanted to save their lives.

On the afternoon of the 28th, the 611th Army completed the "cleaning" work of Pyongyang. When the second assault was made in Huangzhou, more than a North Korean interim government official guarded by Choi Junzhe returned to Pyongyang accompanied by Major General Cai Suikang, the commander of the 611th Army.

Xiang Yinghui gave Cai Suikang a very special task: confirming the whereabouts of former North Korean leaders such as Kim Cheol-nam.

With the help of some former North Korean government officials, the officers and soldiers of the 611th Army quickly controlled dozens of villas, manors and secret hiding places of the "Kim Family" in North Korea. In order to keep it confidential, the search was carried out by the General Staff Special Forces led by Lu Chengwen, and the 611th Army did not intervene.

A few days later, Lu Chengwen handed Xiang Yinghui a very detailed report to Li Cunxun.

The report was then included in the top secret archives of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the sealed period is 1 year. In other words, it will not be published in the public within 00 years. After 10 years, it will be determined whether it will be announced to the public depending on the situation.

Although the second battle has not yet ended, the General Staff has begun to formulate a combat plan for the third battle! (To be continued,)
