Chapter 523: Meeting with the Chairman

"Know Jindalai?"

Wang Yang shook his head. He knew that the Jindalai that Zhao Xiaoyan mentioned was the favorite flower of the North Korean people, but for him, the lover around him was the most beautiful flower in his heart.

"Kindalai is also known as the infinite flower. In fact, in our country, we are the welcoming red azalea, which is the Xing'an azalea in China. The original meaning of Jindalai is a long-lasting flower. The North Korean people use it to symbolize long-term prosperity and joy and happiness!"

It is July now, of course, Jindalai cannot bloom. In fact, in Wang Yang's opinion, this flower is not that complicated at all. This flower is actually called Ayama Hong in China. However, on the land of the Korean Peninsula, because this flower has always bloomed eastward and represents hope, it is accepted and praised by the North Korean people.

However, at this time, Zhao Xiaoyan really took a golden dalai flower in her hand, but the flower had become a specimen and was crushed into a book. The name of the book was "The Real Man" and the author was Bao Bolifuyi. In that era of heroes, people's thoughts were extremely simple and motivated. Their inner world was extremely rich. Among young Chinese people, the best-selling books were "How Steel Is Tempered", "Young Guards", "The Real Man" and other works. It can be said that the literary works of the Russians at that time influenced a whole generation, and Zhao Xiaoyan was no exception. She picked up the Jin dalai clamped in the book and said:

"Do you know? This flower was given to me by a North Korean girl... Actually, it was given to us. He hopes that our future will be as joy and happiness as the meaning of Jin Dalai Xiangzheng!"

"You are talking about Roruoxi?!"

Wang Yang's heart moved, and he almost immediately knew who the North Korean girl Zhao Xiaoyan was talking about. If Wang Yang said that he was the most unforgettable North Korean friend on the Korean battlefield, there would be no one other than Rou Ruoxi. Unfortunately, luck made people feel bad. Wang Yang could not have three wives and four concubines like the landlords before, so this could only be an eternal regret for Rou Ruoxi.

"Yes, you can't forget her?"

Zhao Xiaoyan's aggression and annoyance. In fact, in one aspect, since Wang Yang confessed everything about him and Rou Ruoxi to her, she had to say that it was this respectable North Korean girl who saved Wang Yang. If it weren't for her, Wang Yang might have died on the front line long ago. How could they have given them the opportunity to see victory coming together today?

"Some people and some things will never be forgotten!"

When Wang Yang heard Zhao Xiaoyan's question, he was not angry or guilty, but he seemed to have made Zhao Xiaoyan's words aroused a lot of thoughts. His injury had not healed yet, but he just took advantage of the injury in the military hospital and was then helped by Zhao Xiaoyan to come out to bask in the sun. He stood up with great emotion when he heard Zhao Xiaoyan's words. Zhao Xiaoyan hurriedly supported him.

"Li Xiaobu, Ye Cheng, Shi Donglai, Li Zhonghua... I can forget the other one of them, but unfortunately they didn't have the chance to wait for this day!"

Wang Yang looked up at the sunny sky, but his eyes showed longing. With such a bright sunshine and a long-lost victory, we can return to our hometown to build a new China, but where are you?

"We will fulfill their wishes, and we will take them with our hands. Our victory was forged by the martyrs with blood. So when we return to our country, we must build the New China stronger!"

The cruelty of the war has made this generation of young people know that they will be beaten if they fall behind. They know that if their national strength is not strong, they will be bullied by foreign countries. The best way to protect themselves is to have abundant national strength. This idea has formed a consensus in the minds of the commanders and fighters of the Fangda Volunteer Army. At this time, Zhao Xiaoyan said it in a firm tone, which also represents the common voice of the most lovely people of that generation.

"Xiaoyan, how is Xu Weiguo's injury?"

Nodding, Wang Yang knew that although his dead comrades could not be forgotten, they had to look forward as young as they were. Thinking that Xu Weiguo, who was in the same hospital, was much worse than himself, Wang Yang asked others almost once a day.

"Captain Gao is in Xu Weiguo. When I first came from Xu Weiguo, he saw that he had woken up and looked in good spirits!"

Zhao Xiaoyan answered Wang Yang's words. She was still afraid of the danger of Wang Yang's mission behind enemy lines. However, she also knew that Wang Yang was a soldier. For the sake of the peace and stability of the motherland, even if blood splashed on the battlefield, it was their fate. Most of the time, she felt extremely proud of all the glory that Wang Yang had achieved on the battlefield. Zhao Xiaoyan, who was as close as his brothers, loved birds and houses even more. When she came, she was afraid that Mr. Xu Weiguo was lonely on the hospital bed. She also sent him a book "How Iron Is Made".

"Haha, I asked the doctor. In more than ten days, Xu Weiguo will be able to come out for a walk like you!"

Zhao Xiaoyan was talking, but she was not careful that Gao Xiaodong had already walked out of Xu Weiguo's ward and quickly found Wang Yang. Seeing that he was smiling very cheerfully, he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Captain Gao, is there any good news?"

To be honest, Gao Xiaodong has been promoted to the post again. Because he has extraordinary ability to judge the situation on the battlefield and has unique insights into US combat, he has been seen by General Yang Yong of the Corps and transferred to the Corps to serve as the commander of the combat. However, the director here is no longer in the headquarters. That is really real power. Maybe when he is awarded the title, he can become a major general. However, for Wang Yang and the others, they don’t care about his position, but they value their relationship more, so they like to call him Captain Gao.

"Of course there is good news. Since our Jincheng fought very successfully with the same offensive battle, the Americans nodded and admitted defeat. I heard that the armistice agreement will be signed soon, which means that the war will end soon!"

Gao Xiaodong smiled haha. Wang Yang and Zhao Xiaoyan rarely saw Gao Xiaodong's refreshing look, and he had a good relationship with the Corps and the headquarters. I believe the news he received should not be too big of a problem.

In fact, the news Gao Xiaodong brought them was indeed extremely comprehensive. Only from the mouth of this "high-level executive" did they know how much advantage the current volunteer army has gained on the Korean battlefield.

The first thing to say is the offensive battle south of Jincheng that Wang Yang and others participated. With the joint efforts of the 20th Corps of the Volunteer Army and the 24th Army of the Ninth Corps and the subordinate troops, our Volunteer Army pushed the position forward by 15 kilometers, recovered 148 square kilometers of land, killed, wounded and captured more than 52,700 enemies, seized tanks, 35 self-propelled artillery, 339 various artillery pieces, one aircraft, and shot down and injured more than 200 enemy planes, achieving brilliant results.

In this situation, in the past, the US military was willing to negotiate with the volunteers. The old man from the Seoul Presidential Palace disagreed. However, due to his disagreement, the South Korean troops suffered such great losses at once. What else can President Li do besides admitting the account?

"The reason why the Chinese Communist Army's offensive was won was because the Eighth Army took the defensive for too long, which allowed the Communist Party to build their strength."

President Lee was heartbroken.

"Many people believe that the Chinese Communists' policy is to split the allies by attacking only the Republic of Korea forces and not the United States forces...A possible useful consequence is to remind President Lee that if the support of the "United Nations Army" is lost, his troops are vulnerable."

However, President Eisenhower said beautiful words in the media and also woke up the weird old man in Seoul. If you want to fight against the US government, you will be a little tender.

Of course, after the offensive battle south of Jincheng began, during the Jincheng counterattack of the 20th Corps, the volunteer army on the front front and the Korean People's Army corps also actively cooperated in combat, attacking 27 targets below the enemy company, and fighting against the enemy counterattack, killing more than 17,000 enemies, effectively cooperating with the operations of the 20th Corps in the direction of Jincheng.

In other words, in the end, I calculated a battle. In fact, the third phase of the entire summer counterattack campaign was fought. The Chinese and Korean troops killed, wounded and captured more than 78,000 enemies, seized 45 tanks, 279 cars, one aircraft, 423 guns of various types, and more than 7,400 guns of various types, and recovered 178 square kilometers of land.

The Chinese and Korean troops suffered 33,253 casualties.

The comparison between the casualties between the enemy and us is 2.3:1.

The summer counterattack campaign was the largest battle to attack the enemy's solid positions since the Chinese and Korean troops entered the position defense. The warring sides successively invested forces: the volunteer army had 10 armies, the Korean People's Army had two legions, and the "United Nations Army" had 18 divisions. The battle lasted for two and a half months. The Chinese and Korean troops carried out three attacks in a planned manner, carrying out 139 large and large offensive battles. The final Jincheng Battle broke through the 25-kilometer defensive front of the 4 South Korean divisions in one fell swoop, breaking into the enemy's depth for up to 15 kilometers. The entire summer battle killed and wounded more than 123,000 officers and soldiers of the "United Nations Army" and almost captured South Korea's most "elite" South Korean capital division. This battle improved the positions of the Chinese and Korean troops, straightened the front south of Jincheng, and recovered 240 square kilometers of land.

Looking back at the time when the "United Nations Army" launched the "Autumn Offensive" in 1951, the "United Nations Army" launched a fierce attack when the fortifications of the Chinese and North Korean troops were not strong and supply difficulties. The average speed of advancement of day and night was less than one kilometer. In the Battle of Shangganling, the "United Nations Army" attacked for 43 days and nights, occupying only two squads of the frontline positions, and finally recovered it for the Chinese army. In this offensive operation south of Jincheng, facing the solid fortification positions of the four divisions of the South Korean army, the Chinese army advanced 9.5 kilometers in just 21 hours.

Isn't it interesting to compare the two?

This battle also showed that the logistics supply that has been dragging the Chinese army back has made rapid progress. In this battle, the Volunteer Army successively participated in the battle with more than 530,000 troops and more than 4,000 artillery pieces, of which more than 240,000 people participated in the third offensive and more than 1,360 artillery pieces consumed more than 30,000 tons of various combat materials. The third offensive consumed only one ammunition to reach more than 19,000 tons. At the beginning of the offensive, a fire raid consumed more than 1,900 tons of ammunition, which was equivalent to 2.2 times the total ammunition consumed in the first to fifth battles during the mobile war.

"If you continue to fight like this, hit him twice, three or four more times, and the entire enemy's front line will be broken. If there is a disagreement, Seoul may fall into the hands of the Korean People's Army."

After obtaining this result, even the vast number of volunteer soldiers in North Korea were not in a hurry to negotiate. At the 24th meeting of the Central People's Government Committee of the People's Republic of China, the great leader and even Mao Zedong said proudly:

"Our army is getting stronger and stronger as we fight!"

It can be said that facing the enemy of superior weapons in the Korean battlefield, the Chinese army has reached this stage and this level. It is of epoch-making significance for the development history of this army. It marks that the People's Army led by the Communist Party of China has entered a stage where it can only carry out modern wars with a low technical level in China to a world-type modern war with a world-type advanced level at that time.

The opponents who were ready to weaken were not expected, either for Truman MacArthur Lichwei or Eisenhower Clark Taylor, and they were anxious again and had to give our negotiators a temporary truce at Panmunjom.

After several days of negotiations like a tug of war, based on the area currently under the actual control of military power between the two sides, on July 22, the two sides agreed to correct the military dividing line again and determine the final military dividing line on July 22.

On the same day, US Secretary of State John Dulles issued a formal statement:

1. President Seung-man of the Republic of Korea assured President Dwight Eisenhower of the United States of America that he would not obstruct the armistice agreement.

2. After the armistice, President Eisenhower will meet with President Rhee Seung-man in order to negotiate political negotiations.

On July 24, representatives of both sides confirmed the final military dividing line.

This correction shows that compared with the military dividing line that was first corrected on November 27, 1951, the Chinese and North Korean troops advanced 332.6 square kilometers southward.

However, for this new military division, the US military and South Korean troops could no longer protest at this time, because the two sides of the battle were eager to attack, while the other side had already retreated after continuous failures. So, for the US military and its allies, there was no other way to end the battle as soon as possible?

So based on the current situation analysis, Gao Xiaodong can determine that this negotiation can basically be concluded.

"If we can still fight and have an advantage, why not continue?"

In fact, not only Zhao Xiaoyan was puzzled, but even Wang Yang was looking forward to this issue. However, Wang Yang understood a little in his heart and looked at Gao Xiaodong who was talking.

"In fact, war is about national strength, and peace is about war!"

Facing Wang Yang and Zhao Xiaoyan's expectant gaze, Gao Xiaodong had to sigh and said:

"From the national strength, although the United States is a bit embarrassed by us, even if we have to admit that there is still a certain gap between our army and the US military in terms of military and logistics. Judging from the current poverty and indifference of our country, every time we launch an attack, it is frugal to the whole country. In the case where our country is in need of construction in China, we cannot actually and really cannot fight such a protracted war."

"From the perspective of peace, this is the dividing line between the north and the south on the Korean Peninsula before we participated in the war. Judging from the re-dividing of the military boundaries this time, we still restored this front to its original position. At the same time, we also severely attacked the arrogance of the reactionaries of the United States and South Korea. We clearly told them that we are not easy to bully. So when we stop when we are good, we will not allow the war to expand again, and we will never dare to lightly start the trouble again, so that our country can develop as soon as possible from the poverty and neglect and reduce the gap with these capitalist countries!"

"So from these two points, I think it is completely necessary to end this war at this stage! This will at least lead to peace for about twenty to thirty years of our country's construction!"

In fact, Gao Xiaodong didn't say anything, but in fact, every senior commander later had such a conclusion in his mind. In fact, the war is about interests and the fruits of victory. For the volunteers to go to war against the outside world, even if they capture a lot of land on the Korean Peninsula, the volunteers will not be able to afford it. All of this has to be left to North Korea in the end.

In other words, the Chinese people spent countless costs and did not get any benefits in the end, and they also had to hand over all the fruits of victory. Speaking of which, the feeling of China and North Korea seems to be particularly profound, but in fact, if there was no impact of this war, what would North Korea behave? Of course, as the leader of the central government, I clearly remember that at the beginning of the Korean War, North Korea did not listen to the Chinese government attacking South Korea, but the war started actively under the command of the Russians in the Soviet Union. But in the end, the Russians did not dare to care, but China came to clean up this mess. When it comes to how great the friendship between China and North Korea is, this is too far-fetched. Why did my volunteer army still fight so hard?

"By the way, where will we go after we win? Where is Wang Yang? I heard that he has temporarily left the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade, so what unit will he go to in the future?"

Wang Yang smiled and fell into deep thought after listening to Gao Xiaodong's words. Instead, Zhao Xiaoyan took the initiative to help Wang Yang ask about him, because as far as she and Wang Yang knew, the soldiers of the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade made great contributions in this counterattack battle on the south line of Jincheng, and the soldiers all made great contributions and received awards. Kuang Nengxi and Wang Yang were even awarded the honorary title of the combat hero behind enemy lines. Therefore, the current captain of the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade has become Kuang Nengxi. This guy has a relatively mild injury and has been practicing in the base with the new recruits of the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade.

"Wang Yang, haha, do you want to go there yourself?"

When Gao Xiaoyan heard Zhao Xiaoyan ask, he bought it and kept it in a silence. He looked at Wang Yang and laughed, and instead asked about his thoughts.

"I'm all doing revolutionary work. If I need it, go there!" Wang Yang didn't care. It seemed that after more than a year of fighting, his ideological level has improved a lot.

"Hehe, there has been progress, and awareness has improved!"

Seeing Wang Yang's growth, Gao Xiaodong was really happy, but then he said with a solemn expression: "But speaking, your affairs really make us unable to settle for the time being, because you are about to return to China. As a combat hero, you have to accept the reception from the Chairman!"

"Chairman?! It's Chairman Mao!"

The reason Gao Xiaodong said made Wang Yang and Zhao Xiaoyan feel their brains stagnant at that time, and then asked incredibly surprised.

"Yes, it's Chairman Mao!"
Chapter completed!
