Chapter XVI Decided to Expedition
Kim Il-sung is anxious here. In fact, China has been paying attention to the development of the war. Since the moment the United Nations forces landed in Incheon, the Chairman has known that war is inevitable. At this moment, the Central Military Enlarged Conference was held urgently in Beijing. The Chairman personally presided over the meeting.
This time, the people who came back were not only Commander-in-Chief Lin Biao of the Northeast Field Army, but also Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai of the Northwest Field Army. This time, the chairman definitely let these two people be the main force, but there is no conclusion on which team is the most important.
At the meeting, the chairman said: "The Americans have already implemented landings in Incheon, and North Korea is already in danger. Now we are mainly studying whether to send troops or when to send troops!"
The Prime Minister said: "Soviet Stalin has instructed us to support North Korea. It seems that North Korea has asked for help from the Soviet Union. After our negotiations with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union has not given us any actual help. I think the first thing we need to determine now is when will the batch of supplies given to us by the Soviets?"
The Chairman said: "Enlai, it seems that you will have to ask you to go to the Soviet Union. If the Soviets reject our request, then we can completely reject their request. Anyway, if we send troops, it will be a matter of time, but they are still shameful. I am afraid they will definitely agree to our request!"
The Prime Minister nodded and said, "Well, I'll arrange this and try to set off as fast as possible!"
Huang Yanpei said: "Chairman, if we want to send troops now, it may not be in line with the pacifism we have been promoting before. This has a very bad impact on our international situation. I think it is better for us not to send troops! I think even if the Americans occupy the Korean Peninsula, they will not pose a substantial threat to us!"
The Chairman asked in confusion: "I hope to hear it carefully!"
Huang Yanpei said: "I have studied the United States. The most important strategic center of this country is in Europe, not the East! Although the Soviet Union is adjacent to us, the centers of the Soviet Union are basically in Europe, so I think the Americans are just seeking greater benefits in the Far East. We are now very different from the United States' comprehensive national strength! I think if we persist in the war, we may be the one that will not be worth the loss in the end, Chairman!"
Peng Dehuai said righteously: "Chairman, I don't agree with Mr. Huang's words. His lips and teeth are cold. North Korea may be our example. If Americans are eyeing the Korean Peninsula, we will be like being stuck in our throats. If we want to develop, we will continue to station troops in the northeast. If friction occurs, the whole country will be frightened. Do we have to continue to live such a life? We can beat us and we can't beat us, and we can't beat us, and we can beat us even more. We are fighting with our attitude. Even if we fight to the death with the Americans, I believe that Americans will definitely not be able to bear such a price!"
Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "I think Mr. Peng's opinion is OK. Can Americans be three heads and six arms? If you want to talk about equipment, you have to talk about personnel quality. What are the equipment and strength of both the Japanese and the National Party back then? They are more than twice as strong as us, right? But who won in the end? Who became the master of this country in the end? It was us, our Chinese Communist Party!"
Mr. Zhu said word by word, looking very imposing and determined.
Huang Yanpei smiled embarrassedly and said, "After that being said, we are in the development stage now. If we are playing a game with the Americans in this time, what else can we have left? I'm afraid we will lose even the shorts at that time!"
The chairman smiled and said, "We have not come from the era of poverty and silence? What's the harm even if we do it again? My attitude is that even if we shoot all our last bullet, we must not let Americans ride on our necks and piss. We Chinese have never had the habit of bowing to others!"
The Chairman's strength made everyone understand that the Chairman wanted to fight. In fact, at the meeting of the Central Military Commission, many generals disagreed with the war. After all, this war is very exhausting. After finally peace for two years, why is it going to fight again?
But the Chairman's attitude is very obvious now, that is, to fight wars and to fight with Americans, so they can only think about how to fight with Americans, rather than refute the Chairman's words. After all, the Chairman's vision is not comparable to them.
The Chairman's words immediately caused a lot of discussion below, but the Chairman had decided to send troops. Of course, this sending troops must not send troops by himself in form, but requires Kim Il-sung to take the initiative to ask. If he only helps him like this, not only will he not be able to get it well, but he also thinks that China will beg them.
However, Kim Il-sung's telegram had already come, which showed Kim Il-sung's anxiety. The Chairman had sent the news to Wang Ming-woo and others who were far away on the northeastern border. After all, Wang Ming-woo was the real pioneer and the beginning of being able to take the lead in saving the North Koreans. So this news must be known to Kim Il-sung first.
The chairman who was originally planning to wait until Kim Il-sung was completely driven out of North Korea and was preparing to send troops, but now he thinks it is wrong. If this is the case, then all the offensives will be under the control of the Americans. The difficulty will become increasingly greater and the losses will be immeasurable.
So once the Chairman is ready to send troops, he will definitely be determined. At this moment, after passing the telegram from Kim Il-sung, China has established its position through radio on the first day today. The Chinese people yearn for peace, but they are absolutely not afraid of fighting. If the Americans dare to cross the 38th parallel, then China will definitely not stand idly by.
There is a very decisive smell between the words, but the Americans do not think so. They think that the Chinese are taking the opportunity to blackmail them and simply ignore them. Of course, the United States hopes to gain control of the entire Korean Peninsula. If North Korea is allowed to occupy half of the territory, wouldn’t this long-planned war be fought in vain?
China's position suddenly made North Korea feel as comfortable as a drought after a long drought. If China really sent troops, the pressure on them would be much smaller. Kim Il-sung even hugged other generals excitedly, which was definitely good news for them, or the good news could not be better.
But they didn't expect that the Chairman was discussing with the general and the other party how to send troops. It is unlikely that China will send troops in a short period of time, and it will take at least two weeks later.
Kim Il-sung is confident now. Since China wants to break up with the Americans, it must help itself. Looking at the faces of the Soviets and the attitudes of the Chinese people, after comparing these two points, North Korea is almost offering China as its ancestors. They really can't imagine that if the Chinese don't send troops, what would North Korea look like at this moment?
The news of China's dispatch of troops inspired the entire North Korea. However, the Americans did not take this seriously. They felt that the Chinese were only left with only one mouth. At that time, due to the relatively weak overall national strength, not many people actually believed that China really dared to confront the Americans head-on.
In China, people are very positive about going to war with the United States. It is only one thing to fight, but it is one thing to dare to fight. At least we dare to shout in front of the Americans, which is a manifestation of strength.
The people don’t know how much pressure the Central Military Commission faces to challenge the United States. However, the Chairman’s intention is to first gather popularity and combat effectiveness, and it will be very easy to mobilize troops at that time.
"Chairman, since we decided to fight this time, I think the vanguard should be given to us Dongye! Our Dongye is closest to North Korea. This time I think our Dongye must be the vanguard. I have mentioned this issue before. Chairman, I think it is inappropriate to give to the 18th Army." Lin Biao said loudly.
"What's wrong with it? I think it's very good. The combat effectiveness of the 18th Army is probably not weak. What else do you have to worry about? I think it's very good! It can also preserve your Dongye's combat effectiveness!" The chairman laughed. Obviously, he didn't think it's very good for Lin Biao as a vanguard, but Lin Biao also had to give him face.
"Chairman, how can the 18th Army be more powerful? They only have tens of thousands of people, what can tens of thousands of people do? And when facing powerful Americans, their weapons and equipment are the best in the entire army. I think such elites should not go to the front line to attack, but should wait for their work in the rear, and then give the enemy a heavy blow! And as a vanguard, our Dongye has a great advantage!" said Lin.
"What are the advantages that others don't have? Let's give us a better understanding!" Mr. Peng looked at Mr. Lin with disdain and said.
"Hehe, Mr. Peng, don't be dissatisfied. First of all, the most incomparable place between your Northwest Field Army and our Northeast Field Army is the adaptability of climate. The climate in the Northeast is really like a knife in winter. It's really hard for ordinary people to adapt. And it's almost October. Wars are definitely not something that can be finished in one or two days, so I think this is the biggest advantage of our Dongye. Of course, we Dongye is indeed a little bit stronger than the other field army. Everyone knows this, haha!" Mr. Lin said with a smile, without any sense of modesty.
President Peng laughed and said, "You Dongye is very powerful in combat. I really don't know this, but if you Dongye is thick-skinned, then if you Dongye is second, no one dares to be the first. With a boss like you here, you are a well-known signboard! Haha."
Lin Biao said indifferently: "It's useless for us to talk. Chairman, let us give us the mission of the pioneer. I promise to complete the task resolutely!"
The Chairman shook his head and said, "Hey, you said it's too late. People have said it for more than a year. Now I regret it. My face is not that thick!" The Chairman said in a pun, and everyone smiled.
This is not the chairman's boast, but it is indeed Wang Mingyu who told him more than a year ago. Mr. Lin asked in disbelief: "More than a year ago? Everyone still doesn't know if there is any war, I don't believe it!"
The Prime Minister said: "This Chairman has told me a long time ago. I believe it or not, I believe it!"
Mr. Zhu also said: "I believe it too!"
As soon as these two heavyweight figures appeared, Lin Biao immediately became depressed. Lin Biao also knew that these three people were also disdainful to deceive him. Could it be that Wang Mingyu had really seen it at that time? If this is the case, wouldn't it be too terrible?
How did this person's brain grow? You could see more than a year ago and see more than a year later? This is definitely not a fool, but must have a considerable tactical vision. At least Lin Biao felt that he was definitely not good, because he thought that the Americans could not participate in the war until the outbreak of the Korean War, but Wang Mingyu could see it all at once. This has to be said to be a gap.
It is precisely because of this gap that Lin Biao felt even more unbalanced. He was extremely eager to further establish his position in the army. However, Wang Mingyu stood in front of him like a mountain, making him unable to move at all, which made Lin Biao feel very awkward.
Now I finally had a chance to compete, but I didn't expect that I would lose it like this. Pioneer is the easiest unit to make contributions, and it is also the most dangerous unit with the largest casualties. However, Mr. Lin felt that he was able to control it well. Although his opponent was an American, he was afraid at all and was even more excited.
This natural fighting blood has been integrated into his soul, but he has not received such an opportunity. While Mr. Lin was disappointed, he also hoped that if Wang Mingyu really came to the front line, he hoped that he could fail and he could go up and turn the tide. Then the verdict would be made.
But the reality of Mr. Lin also knows that even if Wang Mingyu fails, the Americans will pay a lot of money. Mr. Lin has studied Wang Mingyu's battle. This person's battle has a characteristic, that is, the enemy's casualties are generally large. Mr. Lin doesn't know how he did it, but one thing is that this person's tactical qualities are extremely high.
There is no exact version of Wang Mingyu's training so far, and it has not been promoted in the military at all, so ordinary people know very little, and many people only know a little in a word, basically not knowing the true meaning of it.
