The three battles were officially decided that the one who was under the greatest pressure was not Xiang Yinghui, Yi...

Pei Chengyi proposed to fight "mobile warfare".

With Xiang Yinghui commanding the "Jeju Island Battle", Pei Chengyi has more time to prepare for the third battle and more time to summarize the experience and lessons learned from the previous two battles.

As a very smart general, Pei Chengyi knew that the most important thing to pay attention to in the next battle was the casualties of the troops.

At the military meeting held by the General Staff, Wang Yuanqing and Gu Weimin mentioned "care and casualties" many times, indicating that both of them attached great importance to the casualties of the troops. It is obvious that the new generation of leaders such as Wang Yuanqing and Gu Weimin were completely different from those of the older generation of leaders such as Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang. In the eyes of Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang, war will lead to death. The duty of a soldier is to sacrifice for the country in the war. As long as victory can be achieved, casualties are not the key issue.

Pei Chengyi is a "young and strong" general and is very clear about what Wang Yuanqing and Gu Weimin think.

Not to mention others, Pei Chengyi is just having a child. His parents worked hard for 20 years and spent all their life on one child and placed their hopes for the second half of their life on one child. According to statistics from the Ministry of Defense of the Republic, 70% of the Republicans under the age of 35 are only children! From a statistical point of view, for every soldier falls on the battlefield, one elderly person loses his only child.

As a national leader, we have to consider the social problems caused by the casualties of war.

Although based on the Chinese nation's ideas, it is a matter of honoring the country to sacrifice one's life in the war to defend one's country, nearly half of the people of the Republic do not think that sending troops to the Korean Peninsula is a war to defend one's country, and more people think that the Republic's ** team does not need to cross the 38th parallel.

As the fire spreads southward, reducing casualties is not only important, but also necessary.

By summarizing the two battles, Pei Chengyi had to admit that the first two battles were not "ideal".

The main reason for the heavy casualties is that the Un Republican team lacks combat effectiveness is that the tactics are clichés and the combat methods are outdated. According to statistics obtained by Pei Chengyi, 70% of the casualties in the first two battles occurred in position defense wars. The casualties in the mobile warfare accounted for only 1.

To prove this, Pei Chengyi flew to Shanghai on the night of the 6th.

The "National Computing Center" ground supercomputer was used. Based on the statistics of the 1st Army and 2nd Army in the later period of the Second Battle, the third battle was simulated and analyzed twice. One was to fight the positional war with the South Korean army according to the land method of the first two battles. The other was to deal with the 3rd Army and 2nd Army through mobile warfare.

Although computer simulation analysis is not necessarily the same as the actual situation, it can provide the most convincing evidence.

The analysis results show that the casualty rate of the former is three times that of the latter!

After getting the results, Chengyi persuaded Xiang Yinghui and asked the Chief of Staff to agree to focus on mobile warfare in the third battle and try to avoid positional wars with the Korean army. Xiang Yinghui used this to persuade Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang to let the two "veterans" try their best.

In fact, mobile warfare is the most skilled tactic of the Republic Army.

Not to mention the other things, during the Korean War in the 1950s, the volunteer army used backward weapons and equipment to defeat the US military armed to the teeth. During the "Changjin Lake Battle", there were cases where US tanks and vehicles could not escape the Volunteer infantry.

When fighting sports wars, it’s not about wheels and tracks.

Returning to the Shenyang Front Command, Pei Chengyi mobilized more than one staff officer to re-formulate a combat plan.

The core of mobile warfare is not "movement", but the division of the enemy through movement to make the enemy follow the movement, exposing defects and disadvantages, and providing the opportunity to annihilate the enemy for fire-fired strikes.

To turn mobile warfare into an annihilation war, one must have sufficiently powerful strike capabilities, that is, "firepower".

During the Korean War, the Volunteers were unable to annihilate the US military on a large scale in the mobile warfare, mainly because they lacked strong firepower.

Unlike the founding fathers of the Republic, Cheng Yi commanded the most powerful army in the world and also controlled the battlefield air supremacy.

Firepower is definitely not a problem!

Another key factor in mobile warfare is that the assault forces must be fast and fast, and be decisive and resolute during assaults.

Needless to say, the air assault force is the most ideal "mobile warfare force", and the fast reaction force is also a good choice.

When arranging combat missions, Pei Chengyi placed the 77th Army and five air assault brigades in the main position. If it weren't for the other armies having this or that, Pei Chengyi would even cut other ground troops by half and provide the saved combat materials to the aviation army.

According to Pei Chengyi's estimate, when air support is fully guaranteed, the force required for ground combat will not exceed 150,000, which is 3 armies, 5 brigades and 1st Army's direct artillery brigade.

How to choose the other two armies has become Pei Chengyi’s most difficult problem.

If Pei Chengyi really had to decide on his own, he would choose two troops, one was the 38th Army, which had recovered its combat effectiveness, and the other was the 24th Army, which performed well in the Haizhou battle in the second battle.

These two armies have one common feature, namely, their rapid assault capabilities are outstanding.

On the evening of the 8th, the situation changed. The General Staff basically agreed to let the 38th Army participate in the war, but never agreed to let the 24th Army take the stage.

To put it bluntly, the "foundation" of the 24th Army is too weak and has no say in the General Staff.

When the 24th Army was lined up, Pei Chengyi would definitely choose the 54th Army, which is still being reorganized. No one denies the combat effectiveness of the 5th Army, and the 54th Army is very influential in the General Staff. Not to mention anything else, among the 27 generals in the General Staff, there are 3 people who are closely related to the 54th Army.

The problem is that the 54th Army may not be able to restore combat effectiveness when the battle begins.

According to the General Staff, the 54th Army, as a reserve force for the battle, did not participate in the battle when the battle was initiated.

The 54th Army was lined up, and the other armies had similar combat power and had relatively prominent problems, either because of lack of assault capabilities or lack of experience in mobile warfare.

The debate lasted until the morning of the 9th, and the General Staff did not make decisions on the issue of "sending troops".

According to Xiang Yinghui's other people later mentioned that in the days when the last first batch of troops were confirmed, he received at least two calls, and most of them were called by retired older generation generals. Without exception, some generals spoke for their "mother's family".

Xiang Yinghui can be withheld others, but he has to give these veteran generals face.

Not to mention Xiang Yinghui, Peng Maobang has to consider various factors.

By noon on the 9th, Xiang Yinghui threw this difficult problem to Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang.

If the young chief of staff couldn't beat the bill, he asked the head of state and the "boss" to make the decision.

On the afternoon of the 9th, Zhao Dong issued an order: The 39th Army of the Capital Garrison immediately went to the front line, and must arrive at Shaliyuan before the early morning of the 11th, and be prepared to participate in the war!

What else will the servant say now?

The 39th Army is known as the "king of the ace", and together with the 38th Army, it is called the "Two Tigers of the Republic Army". In nature, the 38th Army belongs to the "Border Defense Force of Important Regions", while the 39th Army belongs to the "Capital Garrison Force". Whether in terms of scale or combat capability, the 39th Army is above the 38th Army and is the well-deserved "number one" of the Republic Army.

Another point is that the 39th Army is the only "super heavy army" in the Republic's Army.

The entire army has 6 combat brigades, of which 3 are heavy armored brigades, and 3 are artillery brigades of rapid armored assault brigades, and 2 brigades are equipped with large-caliber self-propelled howitzers, 1 brigade equipped with long-range rocket launchers, 1 theater-level air defense brigade, 1 tactical land aviation brigade, and 2 independent reconnaissance battalions; it has 886 tanks, 1174 infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled howitzer doors, self-propelled rocket launchers, 24 sets of air defense systems, transport helicopters, and a total force of 54,000 to more than 54,000 people. In terms of scale, the 39th Army can beat the two 38th Army!

Without special circumstances, the 39th Army will not leave the capital.

Zhao Rundong sent the 39th Army up to the front to shut up other troops, and to speed up the war.

Cheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief now.

If he had known that the Head of State would let the 39th Army take the field, Pei Chengyi would not have arranged the 38th Army to fight. With the strength of the 39th Army, he would have killed one of the Korean army's army alone!

When the 39th Army went into battle, the biggest problem was definitely transportation.

Even if the air defense brigade has 3,000 or more heavy equipment to be transported to the front line, if a train carrying 50 is used, it will require a full 60! Including other combat equipment and the minimum base of ammunition and medicine, at least 00 trains are required to transport the 39th Army. This does not include the personnel. If the combat personnel are transported by air transport, it will be enough for all the y-14 and y-15 of the Air Force to fly 2 orders.

Fortunately, the front line hoarded the materials needed for the 39th Army to operate.

In order to reduce the burden on Pei Chengyi, Xiang Yinghui was personally responsible for the transfer of the 39th Army.

Because the 39th Army was responsible for combat operations on the western battlefield, Pei Chengyi placed the 38th Army on the eastern battlefield.

In order to ensure that the logistics supply is in place in time, Pei Chengyi did not let the army that had been deployed on the eastern battlefield withdraw, but instead let the army replace the Korean army and be responsible for logistics support. After the battle started, the army following behind could still accommodate prisoners of war for the 38th Army, reducing the burden on the 38th Army.

When arranging the mission of the 77th Army, Pei Chengyi had more choices.

Previously, he planned to ask the 77th Army to assist another army in fighting on the western battlefield. With the 39th Army, the 77th Army had no need to stay on the western battlefield. According to Pei Chengyi's deployment, the 77th Army, with the most powerful rapid assault capabilities, undertakes in-depth assault tasks and fully cooperates with the air assault forces to encircle and suppress the Korean army.

The key is the air assault force.

With the cooperation of the 77th Army, Pei Chengyi did not leave the battle reserves alone, but instead allowed the five air assault brigades to leave tactical reserves.

Although the 39th Army participated in the war and gave Pei Chengyi more room for tactical adjustment, the core of the third battle did not change. The speed of the assault determines the success or failure of the battle and also determines the casualties of the troops. The protracted war can easily evolve into a war of attrition, and Pei Chengyi has been avoiding turning the third battle into a war of attrition.

At 11:30 on the 0th, the 3911 Armored Brigade arrived at Shaliyuan.

Within the next hour, the combat troops of the 39th Army arrived one after another.

The ace is the ace. After arriving at Shaliyuan, the combat units of the 39th Army entered the combat state in just 2 hours and were ready for assault! (To be continued,)
