When Wang Yuanqing arrived at Zhao Rundong's phone call, he did not immediately rush to the General Staff Department, and Mr. Yunsheng.

After two years of "hibernation", Pan Yunsheng has returned to his "normal" status. Except for not being able to use his original name, he is not much different from other retired generals. He usually lives in the "General Courtyard" of the military district near Badaling. If the weather is good, he will climb the Great Wall to exercise. If the weather is bad, he will drink tea and brag with other retired generals and live a free and easy life. Unlike Peng Maobang, who actively participates in military and political work, since last year, Pan Yunsheng rarely cares about national affairs.

Pan Yunsheng is indeed old, and his aging speed makes Wang Yuanqing a little unbelievable.

Perhaps because he was too hard when he was young and suffered too much. Pan Yunsheng, who was less than 63 years old, looked like an old man in his 70s, his hair was all white, his eyebrows were half white, and his face looked particularly vicissitudes.

"I'm old, I won't be able to use it anymore." When contacted by Wang Yuanqing's gaze, Pan Yunsheng smiled. His temperament was the same as before, and he had not changed much. "I climbed the Great Wall yesterday and couldn't walk halfway. I thought about that time, I ran back and forth on the Great Wall in one breath. Time is not forgiving people, and it's impossible not to recognize old age!"

"Old Pan, you are still young."

"I'm praising me again, I'm definitely not happy." Pan Yunsheng smiled and shook his head, "Tell me, what trouble did you encounter this time?"

Wang Yuanqing took out the cigarette, and put it away a little late. "I just received a call from Lao Zhao, and there were variables in the Peninsula War, and the situation exceeded our expectations."

Pan Yunsheng frowned slightly and quickly entered the state.

"I don't know the specific situation either, I didn't know it when I arrived at the General Staff."

"What trouble can there be?" Pan Yun breathed out and glanced at Wang Yuanqing.

"It should be related to Japan."

"Japan?" Pan Yunsheng smiled coldly and said, "I'm not at ease again! Lao Zhao asked you to come to me?"

"No. I'll do it myself." Wang Yuanqing smiled, looking a little embarrassed.

"I just said. If it were just Japan, Lao Zhao wouldn't let you come to me."

"actually……"

"We don't know the situation now, let's talk about it when we arrive at the General Staff."

Wang Yuanqing didn't say anything more.

When they came to the General Staff, Zhao Rundong, Peng Maobang and Xiang Yinghui were both a little surprised when they saw Pan Yunsheng. Wang Yuanqing was also a little surprised because he had not seen Gu Weimin.

"Xiao Pan, how are you doing physically?"

"No matter how hard you exercise, you are not as good as you professional soldiers." Pan Yunsheng smiled and greeted Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang, "I'm going to participate in the decision-making work first. I originally wanted to go to the Military Intelligence Bureau to see Li Cunxun and the others, but I happened to meet Xiao Wang, so I came over and take a look. Lao Zhao, I heard that you have lived in the General Staff Department for almost a month."

"Nowhere, it's only more than ten days." Zhao Rundong laughed, "Sit down, everyone sits and talks."

The secretary brought the tea, and Xiang Yinghui went to close the door of the conference room.

"I just received the news that the American submarine entered the Yellow Sea and was rushing to Jeju Island." Zhao Rundong personally gave a brief introduction. "This was not a big deal. We fought with the US Navy twice and killed two amphibious fleets. Based on the current situation, I think this is not a trivial matter.

”

"Is the United States creating conditions for Japan to participate in the war?" Pan Yunsheng said in a word.

Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "This is what I worry about the most. Japan is still outside the battlefield. Everyone knows the reason. In addition to our strong strategic counterattack capabilities, Japan's strategic counterattack capabilities are not guaranteed. Our submarines have been active in the Western Pacific, focusing on tracking Japan's strategic nuclear submarines. As long as Japan participates in the war, the first thing we do is to sink Japan's nuclear submarines and destroy Japan's strategic counterattack capabilities. Murakami Sadashi understands this.

The Japanese general also understood this. If he lost his strategic counterattack ability, Japan would fall to the point of being slaughtered. The United States dispatched attack nuclear submarines at this time, and it is likely that the most advanced attack nuclear submarines would enter the Yellow Sea. In addition to posing a substantial threat to our aircraft carrier battle group, it also made our army's combat operations on Jeju Island extremely difficult. As a last resort, we must draw forces to encircle and suppress American submarines, and the most ideal weapon to deal with submarines is the submarine itself."

"Attack Jeju Island?" Pan Yunsheng once again grasped the point.

Zhao Rundong smiled and looked at Xiang Yinghui.

"This is the combat operation we just confirmed." Xiang Yinghui said without hesitation, "The third battle with the main purpose of capturing Seoul will take about ten days of preparation. In order to achieve the battle goal at the lowest cost, we decided to attack Jeju Island before this. The fleet will bomb Jeju Island in the early morning of the seventh day, and the Marines will land at the latest on the morning of the 9th day. Judging from the overall goal of the war..."

"Are you considering the impact of attacking Jeju Island?" Pan Yunsheng interrupted Xiang Yinghui's words.

"I've considered it a long time ago." Wang Yuanqing said in front of Zhao Rundong, "When I made a battle plan, Lao Zhao and I thought of the possible consequences. But I think it is very necessary, because sooner or later our army will capture the Korean Peninsula and help North Korea complete unification. According to convention, after the war is over, we will sign a more comprehensive military and political alliance treaty with North Korea and lease several military bases, including Busan. Busan can serve as a springboard for our army to attack Japan's mainland, and Jeju Island is not that important."

Yun Sheng nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "Have you shown me?"

Zhao Rundong and Wang Yuanqing frowned at the same time.

"Xiao Wang is right. As long as we decide to completely defeat South Korea, whether to fight Jeju Island or when to fight Jeju Island is not a key issue." Pan Yunsheng glanced at everyone and said, "The problem is that the outside world has always believed that we will hold a ceasefire negotiation with South Korea at some appropriate time, such as after capturing Seoul, and will not occupy the entire Korean Peninsula. If we do not express our attitude, who can guarantee that Sadashi Murakami will not misunderstand?"

Zhao Rundong and Wang Yuanqing looked at each other and both knew what Pan Yunsheng said.

After the United States decided to withdraw its troops, the outside world has been speculating on the end of the Peninsula War.

In the eyes of most people, as long as the United States no longer sends troops to intervene, the Republic will send at most troops to occupy Seoul, support the pro-China government, adopt local solutions to solve the Vietnam issue that year, provide North Korea with weapons, equipment and military supplies, and rely on the North Korean National Defense Force to defeat the South Korean team.

The benefits of doing so are obvious.

In order to defeat the Korean and American coalition forces (north of the 38th parallel), the Republic paid a heavy price. It can even be said that within one day after participating in the war, the Republic's ** team fought the most tragic war since the founding of the People's Republic. Whether it was casualties, equipment losses and material consumption, it greatly exceeded the Republic's ability to withstand it.

Is it necessary for the Republic to shed all blood for North Korea?

Even if the domestic opposition voices are not considered, the long-term impact of the war on the Republic is also considered.

"I will let the Foreign Minister issue a diplomatic statement as soon as possible."

"It's better to let North Korea issue a statement." Pan Yunsheng corrected Wang Yuanqing's statement, "The faster the better, the more you must take the initiative."

Wang Yuanqing nodded, indicating that he understood what Pan Yunsheng meant.

"Diplomatic issues are easy to solve, and military operations are the key." Zhao Rundong looked at Peng Maobang and Xiang Yinghui, "Old Peng, what do you think?"

"It's better to give Japan some color." Peng Maobangdi's answer was very concise.

Zhao Rundong frowned slightly and said, "It is not the time to provoke a war. We must try our best to avoid direct conflict with Japan."

"We have to express it." Peng Maobang laughed, as if he had guessed what Zhao Rundong said long ago.

Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "It should be expressed, but we cannot overdo it. Japan must know that we have enough ability to destroy Japan's strategic counterattack power when the war breaks out. General Xiang, is it okay?"

"No problem, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

"Old Zhao, it is absolutely necessary for me to adjust the combat operations against Jeju Island."

"What does it mean?" Zhao Rundongchao and Pan Yunsheng looked over.

"The purpose of attacking Jeju Island is to create favorable conditions for the third battle, and speed determines success or failure." Pan Yunsheng paused for a moment and said, "Although I don't know the specific arrangements, I think it is not very difficult to attack Jeju Island. We must try to shorten the battle time and enhance the suddenness of the battle."

"You mean, dispatch airborne troops?" Xiang Yinghui reacted suddenly.

Pan Yunsheng nodded and said, "Detect the airborne troops first, and then let the Marines land, and strive to occupy Jeju Island before the enemy reacts."

Xiang Yinghui nodded slightly and affirmed Pan Yunsheng's suggestion.

"Do we still have airborne troops to mobilize?" Zhao Rundong asked.

"Airborne 152, and as a reserve team, he has not participated in the battle."

"How much risk is it?" Wang Yuanqing also asked.

"The aircraft carrier battle group destroys the air defense force on Jeju Island and seizes air supremacy, which can minimize the risk." Xiang Yinghui paused for a moment and said, "The main defenders in Jeju Island are infantry and do not have much armored power. The 152nd Airborne Brigade has hundreds of airborne combat vehicles, and as long as it is used, it can be used as armored forces. With the air support and artillery support provided by the fleet, the combat difficulty is within the affordable range."

"How quickly can you be prepared?" Zhao Rundong asked the second question.

"In order to achieve the suddenness of the battle, the airborne 152 set off directly from the Liaodong Peninsula. The transport plane first airdrops the combat troops and then returns to the eastern coastal airport to provide combat supplies to the combat troops in the second round of airdrops. The entire airborne operation lasts about twenty-four hours." At the end, Xiang Yinghui mentioned, "After receiving the order, the airborne 152 can complete combat preparations within four hours."

"The Marine Corps still landed in accordance with the combat plan and supported the airborne troops as soon as possible." Peng Maobang added.

Xiang Yinghui nodded and said, "In this way, the combat time of occupying the main towns and military bases of Jeju Island can be controlled within five to seven days."

"Make arrangements as soon as possible and let Pei Chengyi command the combat operations."

"Pei Chengyi is responsible for the command of the third battle, and the attack on Jeju Island is directly commanded by me."

Zhao Rundong nodded and solicited other people's opinions with his eyes.

No one asked new questions, and the combat operation was determined.
