Volume 7 Peninsula Smoke of Gunpowder Chapter 31 Take the initiative to attack
Dong fully adopted Wang Yuanqing's strategic deployment, just with Wang Yuanqingzhang."
Considering that Wang Yuanqing was not a soldier, Zhao Rundong asked Wang Yuanqing not to interfere in combat command, and absolutely trusted Xiang Yinghui and the General Staff Department and listened to his opinions fully.
Wang Yuanqing agreed, and Zhao Rundong called Xiang Yinghui in person to ask the General Staff to obey Wang Yuanqing's strategic decisions.
The next day, Wang Yuanqing found Peng Maobang and Pan Yunsheng and invited the two to participate in strategic decision-making as "Deputy Head of State Defense and Military Policy Advisors". Although it was just a temporary position without a salary, Peng Maobang and Pan Yunsheng both agreed readily.
On November 27, after the combat plan was improved, the General Staff issued a combat readiness order to the brigade-level command of the participating troops.
As the war clouds rise, the situation on the peninsula becomes increasingly tense.
On November 28, the US military's "pre-set fleet" (a transport fleet mainly consisting of rapid roll-ro-ship, mainly transporting heavy weapons and equipment such as main battle tanks for Marines and ground forces) arrived at the Subic Naval Base, the "Ambulatory Expeditionary Brigade" arrived in Guam, and two land divisions arrived at the war zone.
The large-scale mobilization of the US military can deceive North Korea and the Republic.
According to Wang Yuanqing's instructions, when the Military Intelligence Bureau exchanged intelligence with North Korean intelligence agencies, it did not mention the fact that the US military sent an additional land combat division to the Western Pacific region.
However, North Korean intelligence agencies have their own sources of intelligence.
On November 29, Kim Cheol-nam issued a combat readiness order to the North Korean army.
North Korea's actions failed to hide from anyone. NN made relevant reports that day. Subsequently, news media from all over the world either reprinted or made exclusive reports.
For a moment, it seemed that North Korea was actively creating conflicts.
The South Korean army entered a state of combat readiness on the same day. The name was to prevent North Korea from launching a sudden attack.
Almost all news media predict that the war will break out in the next few days. It is not actually that serious.
Although the North Korean army is always ready for war, the South Korean army has been preparing for a sudden attack for decades. However, as the main force, the US military is not ready for war.
Large-scale wars will inevitably carry out large-scale military deployments, but large-scale military deployments have no confidentiality.
By the last day of November, there were only three Army divisions and two Marine Divisions, aircraft carrier battle groups, and approximately combat aircraft.
According to the General Staff’s speculation, if the US military wants to act as the main force in the war, it will have to invest more troops.
The ground forces deployed in Guam must go to Busan, South Korea as soon as possible, and at least six aircraft carrier combat groups and 600 combat aircraft are needed. The most important thing is that the US military must obtain frontier military bases, which is also a secret agreement with Japan to use Japan's air bases after the war breaks out.
These preparations take at least 1c to 15 days.
On the first day of December, the South Korean and American coalition forces announced that from December 3 to 15, a large-scale joint military exercise with anti-landing operations as the main subject will be held near Yingri Bay. The US military dispatched more than 500c officers and soldiers from the 1st Marine Division and the 1st Armored Division to participate in the exercise. The South Korean army dispatched 52 combat aircraft, 4~ships, 3 submarines and more than 10,000 officers and soldiers from the division.
There is a very clear signal of war, and after the exercise begins, the war may break out at any time.
On December 2, U.S. President's Special Envoy Stockton secretly arrived in Tokyo, with Japanese Prime Minister Sasaki Murakami, Foreign Minister Shikawa, Defense Minister Katsushi Tokiya, and Chief of the Military Headquarters Fukuyasu =:.
The meeting was very secretive, and the Military Intelligence Bureau did not receive the news until the night of the 3rd.
The alarm was issued again and the war was about to break out.
At night that day, the General Staff issued the first combat plan to the military-level command organization of the first batch of participating troops, the Navy Fleet and the Air Force Brigade.
In the morning of December, Al Jazeera revealed the news that Stockton had secretly visited Japan.
Although Western news media remained silent collectively, as the news spread, the spokesperson of the US White House had to come forward to "clearize", claiming that Stockton's main purpose in going to Tokyo was to resolve trade disputes with Japan.
There is no silver here.
The US-Japan trade dispute is not something that only happens now, it has existed for several years. The United States has always handled disputes in a "public" manner and has never sent a presidential envoy to Tokyo to secretly meet with the Japanese Prime Minister =:.
On December 6, the Military Intelligence Bureau obtained exact information.
When Stockton met with Sadashi Murakami and others in secret, a senior South Korean official was present. South Korean officials made a promise and made it clear that they would provide convenient conditions for the Japanese army to participate in the war when necessary. After the war broke out, Japan made a promise to the United States that Kyushu Island will be opened to the US Air Force. This week, eight air bases on the western part of the island and Shikoku Island will be allowed to deploy 800 combat aircraft.
The last condition of the war broke out was ripe.
On December 8, the Military Intelligence Bureau "sent" this extremely important piece of intelligence to North Korea.
On that day, local combat troops deployed in the northeastern region of the Republic gradually advanced to the border areas and entered a state of combat. In addition to the "Republic", three other aircraft carrier combat groups gathered in the southern waters of the East China Sea. The Air Force strengthened combat readiness patrols, and the number of patrol aircraft sent to the Yellow Sea waters has more than doubled compared to usual.
At this time, the Korean-US coalition military performance
It's in full swing.
Regardless of whether the North Korean leader believes in the intelligence provided by the Republic, the facts are in front of him. The large-scale military exercises in the South Korean and US coalition forces are likely to turn into a sudden attack. The US presidential envoy met with senior Japanese and Korean leaders in Tokyo to clearly discuss combat operations.
That night, Kim Cheolan held an emergency meeting of the Armed Forces Headquarters in Jinxiushan, Pyongyang.
The atmosphere was depressing and tense.
Not only was Jin Cheolan worried that the war would break out immediately, but even the generals of the Korean army were very worried.
Mastering the army three years ago was equivalent to obtaining the amulets to survive in North Korea. Now mastering the army is equivalent to obtaining the greatest benefit. Almost all generals have made a fortune. Not only can the war not bring them more benefits, but it will also destroy the vested interests in their hands. No general of the Korean army is willing to fight a war that cannot be won at all with a powerful enemy. As for national unity, it has long been no longer the ideal they have fought for throughout their lives.
The question now is whether to fight or not is not up to North Korea to decide.
Seeing that no one was willing to speak, Kim Cheol-nam broke his silence and said, "War is inevitable. Our only way out is to let China join the war as soon as possible and use China's power to win the war."
"The question is, how can we get China to join the war as soon as possible?"
"The only way is to start a war before the puppet troops are ready, force the puppet troops to launch a counterattack and cross the ceasefire line, and China has to send troops to join the war as promised."
"Forcing China to passively participate in the war is likely to result in the result of attracting wolves into the house."
Kim Cheol-na's brows jumped a few times, pressed his hands, and stopped others' words, saying: "We must consider this consequence. In recent years, China has been trying to promote our reform speed, hoping to control us through economic means. If the war breaks out and China sends troops to the war, it will definitely not withdraw all its troops after the war like it did a few decades ago. Old Vietnam is a distinctive textbook. The key issue is that we must first ensure the existence of the country and the existence of the regime."
"From the practical consideration, we must establish a joint military command mechanism with China as soon as possible."
"We must have military command."
"Will China let us command?"
"If a joint command organization cannot be established, China can only force its troops to send troops. We must make relevant preparations to prevent China from taking this opportunity to support the pro-China regime."
"It's hard to do unless we lead the main combat operations, and China only provides support and does not participate in ground combat operations."
"This is also a solution. No matter what, only by dragging China into the water can we ensure that we are not defeated."
...
The discussion was very fierce and the views were unified. First, China must be allowed to participate in the war, and second, it must be ensured that it is not subverted by China.
After most of the people spoke, Kim Cheolan said: "I suggest sending Comrade Cui Zhicheng to China immediately to discuss matters in joint combat operations with China. Our army will enter the state of combat as soon as possible. As long as China agrees to provide active support in combat operations, or send troops to fight after the puppet troops crosses the ceasefire line, we will take action immediately and launch the war in a preemptive manner."
"It's better to communicate with China first." Cui Zhicheng didn't speak until this time.
Jin Cheolan nodded and said, "It's good to do this. Let's ventilate first, which shows that we respect China very much, which will have greater diplomatic benefits."
Cui Zhicheng sighed secretly and said nothing more.
"Is there any other problem?" Jin Zhenan glanced at everyone and said, "If there is no other problem, let's end today."
After the others left, Kim Cheolan talked to Choi Zhicheng alone for more than an hour.
In the middle of the night that day, Cui Zhicheng personally went to the Republic's Embassy in Pyongyang and talked with the ambassador about dawn. Then, the news was sent back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic through the ambassador.
Huang Guowei found Wang Yuanqing around 8:3c in the morning.
According to Zhao Rundong's arrangement, the matters related to the Peninsula War were first approached to Wang Yuanqing, and Wang Yuanqing made the decision.
"North Korea has a very tactful attitude and I hope we can give a positive answer."
"That is, North Korea is very anxious."
Huang Guowei nodded and said, "The intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau has worked, making North Korea believe that the war is about to break out."
"The local intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau is still a secondary issue. No matter how stupid Kim Cheol-nam is, he should know that the war is about to break out." Wang Yuanqing breathed a long sigh and said, "North Korea wants to drag us into the water and pull us to the back."
Huang Guowei nodded and said nothing.
"When Cui Zhicheng arrives, please come and see me directly and call the Prime Minister." Wang Yuanqing smiled coldly and said, "If we don't give some motivation, North Korea may not do anything."
After seeing off Huang Guowei, Wang Yuanqing pondered for a while and called Peng Maobang and Pan Yunsheng.
Although Peng Maobang's strategic decision-making ability is not very good, Wang Yuanqing attaches great importance to Pan Yunsheng's opinions, because Pan Yunsheng's overall strategic view is no less than that of Ji Youguo and Zhao Rundong.
