Volume 7 Peninsular Smoke of Gunpowder Chapter 39 Participate in the war in advance

The army landed in Yuanshan, and Xiang Yinghui began to assign combat missions to the participating troops.

On the morning of the 20th, the North Korean ambassador rushed to the residence of the deputy head of state again and requested the Republic to send troops to North Korea immediately in accordance with the promises made in the Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance.

Wang Yuanqing's attitude relaxed, but he did not agree immediately.

After asking Huang Guowei to deal with the North Korean ambassador, Wang Yuanqing rushed to the General Staff to attend the pre-war meeting chaired by Zhao Rundong himself.

"At 8 o'clock this morning, except for the continued battle in the direction of Kaicheng, the offensive operations of the South Korean army in several other directions have stopped." Xiang Yinghui was responsible for introducing the situation. "The offensive operations are far as the expectations of the South Korean army. The battle in the direction of Kaicheng will last for at least 48 hours. It would be great that the South Korean army could occupy Kaicheng on the morning of the 22nd. The South Korean army advancing towards Qinghe encountered great resistance and was expected to arrive at Qinghe in the early morning of the 22nd, and probably occupy Qinghe on the night of the 22nd. The problems on the eastern battlefield are relatively simple. As the US 7th Infantry Division entered the battle, the North Korean army would be quickly annihilated, and the battle ended around the night of the 211th."

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly. With Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang present, he did not ask any questions.

"The 2nd Marine Division of the U.S. Army in Yuanshan did not advance immediately, mainly because the port infrastructure was damaged by the North Korean army, and heavy equipment could not be sent to the shore immediately." Xiang Yinghui hesitated for a moment and said, "However, the US offensive will definitely start before the early morning of the 211th. The pre-set fleet departing from Guam will arrive in Yuanshan on the morning of the 211th, and the restoration of the port infrastructure will be completed before 12:00 on the 211th.

Not only the 2nd Marine Division and the 1c11th Air Assault Division were launched, but also the 1st Marine Division arrived with the pre-set fleet. As previously judged, the US military abandoned the combat plan for landing in western North Korea and put all amphibious troops into the eastern battlefield. After the attack began, the US military would advance westward and northward at the same time, striving to capture Shuncheon and Ham Hung at the fastest speed, and complete the interweaving and division operations of the large-scale battle. If the North Korean army does not resist tenaciously, the combat operations will be completed between the 23rd and the 24th. By the 25th, the US military arriving in Ham Hung will continue to head north and complete the strategic roundabout encirclement operation."

Wang Yuanqing let out a long sigh and glanced at Zhao Rundong.

Zhao Rundong didn't say much, and waited for Xiang Yinghui to continue talking.

"Overall, in addition to making the combat plan too ideal, the South Korean military and local governments performed well." Xiang Yinghui smiled and said. "The biggest problem facing the South Korean military now is the shortage of combat supplies. According to the news we collected from the battlefield, the South Korean army consumed at least 40,000 tons of supplies in the battle thirty hours before the attack on the city. The South Korean and American coalition forces consumed a total of no less than 100,000 tons of combat supplies. In this way, the South Korean military must solve the problem of logistics supply supplies. If not unexpected.

The United States will dispatch rapid fleets and transport materials to the front line in Guam. In addition, the United States is likely to reach an agreement with Japan to transport some combat materials from Japan to South Korea to shorten the supply time. Because there is no subway from South Korea to North Korea, road transportation is inefficient. Therefore, the South Korean army must occupy a port on the western battlefield where large ships can dock. Haichuan is the only choice. Perhaps today, at the latest tomorrow, the South Korean army will divide its troops to attack Haichuan."

"In this way, will the South Korean army be forced to delay the march towards Pyongyang?" Wang Yuanqing couldn't help but ask.

Xiang Yinghui nodded and said, "The biggest mistake of the South Korean military is that it consumed too much force and combat materials in Kaicheng and wasted extremely precious time. If the South Korean army attacked Haichuan, it had to delay the attack on Pyongyang for more than 48 hours. It is expected that the South Korean army will arrive in Pyongyang as soon as 24 or 25. The offensive operation will be launched within twelve hours after arrival. Perhaps the US military will head south to attack Pyongyang after occupying Shunchuan. However, before the South Korean army arrives, the US military is unlikely to attack Pyongyang. Therefore, the US military is likely to head north according to the original plan and leave Pyongyang to the South Korean army."

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly. When he saw Zhao Rundong, he wanted to speak. He did not raise any questions about the new land.

"Overall, the offensive operations of the Korean and American coalition forces were within our expectations." Zhao Rundong glanced at everyone and said. "If the situation continues to develop according to our predictions, our army will participate in the war on the night of the 25th or early morning of the 26th. The main purpose of this meeting is whether our army should participate in the war in advance."

"Join the war early?" Wang Yuanqing immediately frowned.

Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "The Korean and American coalition forces have seized air supremacy, and the North Korean army will be defeated quickly. In addition to the Korean fighter jets that have fled into our country, it is expected that a large number of North Korean troops will pour into our country after the 24th. Although we will incorporate the collapsed North Korean army in accordance with the strategic plan previously formulated, in the long run, it is more beneficial for us to maintain a suitable size Korean army."

Wang Yuanqing was late and did not rush to speak.

"Old Zhao is right, it is very necessary for us to maintain a proper Korean army." Peng Maobang spoke, "Our ultimate goal is not to occupy North Korea, nor does it need to annex North Korea, and bear the heavy burden of tens of millions of war refugees.

: After the army enters North Korea to fight, it will definitely need to occupy the army. If our army bears it, the burden will be very heavy and the cost will be very amazing. I think it is best for the North Korean army to be responsible for the occupation work and at the same time be responsible for the logistics support work."

"The problem is, there is no need to join the war in advance."

"There is no need to dispatch ground troops." Zhao Rundong paused for a moment and said, "First dispatch the air force to regain air supremacy in northern North Korea, avoid an uncontrollable retreat, and test the confidence of the Korean and American coalition forces. So far, North Korean leaders such as Kim Cheol-nam have not appeared, and we have to assume that they have been killed. We need to ensure the stability of the northern part of North Korea and avoid war refugees from pouring into our country."

"If done well, it will force the US military to speed up its advancement."

After looking at Peng Maobang, Wang Yuanqing began to ponder.

"I think the biggest problem is that if we do not express our opinions, the Korean and American coalition forces are likely to be vigilant." Zhao Rundong sighed and said, "We have not made a decision to send troops to this point. Although it takes enough time to mobilize ground troops, with our army's mechanism, the Air Force can complete the mobilization within 24 hours. The United States is very clear about our military strength. If we drag it on, our intention will be too obvious."

"As long as the US military realizes the danger, it will slow down the attack speed." Peng Maobang sneered and said, "If I were the US military commander, I would use more troops to fill the gaps in the rear and not give us any chance. When our army enters North Korea to fight a regular battlefield with the Korean and US coalition forces, the losses will be huge. In order to achieve our combat goals, the Air Force must join the war as soon as possible.



Wang Yuanqing didn't say much, because he really didn't have much say on military issues.

"Chief of Staff Xiang, please briefly introduce the situation." Zhao Rundong changed the topic.

"After the Air Force participated in the war, its main task was to ensure air supremacy in the northern part of North Korea." Xiang Yinghui had already made preparations. "Because our army will not send ground troops to the war for the time being, the defeat of the North Korean army in the south has been decided, so the Air Force will first invest in air combat forces and will not invest too much strike force. Although the South Korean and American coalition forces have invested nearly 3,000 combat aircraft, most of the combat aircraft are used for ground support, and the main operations are concentrated on the southern battlefield, and there will be no more than 400 fighter jets that can be used for air combat. Relying on our local air defense forces, our army first invested nearly 300 combat aircraft from 12 brigades, of which eight of them were equipped with J-14 fighters. Our army will also invest ten to fifteen early warning aircraft, twenty electronic warfare aircraft and eight tankers. The overall investment accounts for about 30% of the Air Force's participating forces."

“How much will the loss be?”

"It won't be too few. It is expected that the Army will lose 100 to 150 combat aircraft before joining the war." Xiang Yinghui hesitated for a moment and said, "The special forces will join the war with him and are responsible for rescuing pilots who fall into North Korea, especially those in areas controlled by the South Korean and US coalition forces."

Wang Yuanqing breathed a long sigh.

"We must negotiate with major aircraft manufacturers and ammunition manufacturers as soon as possible." Zhao Rundong looked over at Wang Yuanqing and said, "After joining the war, the equipment losses and material consumption of our army will definitely be very amazing. Relatively speaking, the battles in the previous few days can only be considered a "warm-up exercise", and the army will definitely suffer greater losses after joining the war. The government must cooperate well and fully support the army's operations."

Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "Prime Minister Gu Weimin is responsible for the relevant work, and I will communicate with him."

"The communication work in North Korea must also be arranged."

Wang Yuanqing nodded again and said, "I have made a promise to the North Korean ambassador that I will join the war as soon as possible. If Kim Cheol-nam and others are killed, we must make arrangements to support the new North Korean regime as soon as possible to avoid political and diplomatic troubles after our army enters North Korea."

Zhao Rundong pondered for a while and said, "It is indeed necessary. The problem is that the situation of Kim Cheol-nam and others has not been determined yet. We should not make arrangements too early. Of course, we can prepare in advance. As long as we confirm that Kim Cheol-nam and others have been killed, a new North Korean regime must be established immediately."

"I think it's enough to leave this matter to the Military Intelligence Bureau."

Hearing Peng Maobang's words, Zhao Rundong and Wang Yuanqing laughed at the same time.

"The Military Intelligence Bureau has always been a good player in this field. They are responsible for the preliminary work and finally the government comes forward."

"That's fine, you can't leave the Military Intelligence Bureau idle."

Zhao Rundong expressed that Wang Yuanqing was not easy to object and said, "In this case, I think it is more appropriate to let Lao Pan be responsible. After all, Xiao Li doesn't have much experience in this regard."

No one opposed Wang Yuanqing's opinion. In terms of experience, even Li Cunxun could not catch up with Pan Yunsheng.

The meeting ended here, and the matter of the Republic's Air Force participating in the war was determined.
