The heavens start from Changjin Lake

In February 1945, the Second World War was coming to an end. The U.S. fleet was about to hit the Japanese mainland. Japan seemed to be defeated, but it had no intention of surrendering. Instead, it clamored crazily to have a mainland war with the United States. decisive battle.

The Japanese don't just talk but don't practice. They have prepared a terrifying 100 million jade plan for the decisive battle on the mainland. Basically, they call on every Japanese to turn into a human bomb and use suicide methods to match the limit of the US military.

The President of the United States is still Luo Sifu. His staff told him that if Japan really adopts this stupid plan, the US military will need at least more than one million US soldiers if it wants to take over Japan.

For this reason, Luo decided to find an ally with the United States to deal with Japan no matter what.

Thus, the Yalta Agreement was born.

The contents of the Sino-Soviet friendship conditions signed by the Soviet Union and Chiang were basically consistent with the Yalta Agreement.

In 1945, the Kuomintang was still in power, and the Kuomintang was fully supported by the United States.

The Soviet Union wanted a naval base, and Shunlu and Lianda were leased to the Soviet Union. The Middle East and South Manchuria railways in the northeast were also handed over to the Soviet Union.

Outer Mongolia becomes independent. This is because the Outer Mongolia region is too close to their Trans-Siberian Railway, and even some distance away. All it takes is to set up forts on the border of the Outer Mongolia region to directly cover the Siberian Railway. The Kuomintang at that time was backed by the United States and wanted to put an end to this The problem is that Outer Mongolia must be independent, otherwise their border defense costs will be ridiculously high.

Sakhalin and its nearby islands, as well as the Kuril Islands, were assigned to the Soviet Union.

This was the Yalta Agreement. The United States and Britain agreed, and the Soviet Union sent troops to attack Japan.

Anyway, it is not their own interests that are harmed, of course the United States and Britain agree.

Although the coastline of the Soviet Union is very long, it is close to the Arctic Circle. Once winter comes, the ice is so deep that ships cannot sail. Shunlu and Lianda are their only naval bases in Northeast Asia that operate normally all year round.

In fact, there is another one in the Soviet Union, Vladivostok, but in winter, there is also a period of freezing. The most critical point is that from Vladivostok to the Pacific Ocean, you need to pass through the waters of Japan, your archenemy.

Vladivostok was not ideal as a naval base.

With the founding of New China and the return of Shunlu and Lianda to New China, Sri Lanka must find a new naval base for their navy.

In Northeast Asia, apart from Shunli and Lianda, which are suitable as naval bases, the only other option is the Korean Peninsula.

New China cannot follow that path, but there are better options.

The Korean Peninsula is surrounded by sea on three sides, and every location is very suitable for a naval base. However, it is obviously not advisable to directly launch armed operations by the Soviet Union.

Si is thinking of a perfect solution.

So, there was the next development.

In early 1950, in order to ease the military pressure on the Soviet Union in Western Europe, the United States publicly stated that South Korea was not included in the US military's Western Pacific 'defense ring'.

This opportunity gave Si a hope.

At dawn on June 6, with the support of the Soviet Union, Kim ordered his troops to cross the 25th Parallel and launch a sudden attack on South Korea. The Korean War broke out and the Cold War entered its climax.

At this time, Si's foresight was far from being revealed.

Sri Lanka has long seen the shamelessness of the United States.

In 1947, the United States avoided the Security Council and manipulated the United Nations to establish the "United Nations Provisional Committee on Korea." The following year, it held elections in South Korea and established the so-called Bangzi State.

Despite their public statements that South Korea is not included in the US military's Western Pacific 'defense ring', everyone knows that the United States attaches great importance to their interests in the Far East.

In mid-1949, the US military withdrew from South Korea, but left behind many military advisers to train more than troops for the Rhee Syngman government in South Korea. However, these troops did not have heavy firepower weapons such as tanks and artillery. , in addition to the army, they also have a police force of people.

The United States has the same idea as the Soviet Union. They do not want the situation on the Korean Peninsula to break out, so they control the firepower configuration of South Korea, at least not allowing them to take the initiative to attack.

In 1950, the vast majority of these troops were new soldiers. They faced the Four Fields who had fought in the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation and had the most powerful light infantry combat effectiveness on the surface.

The difference can be imagined.

During the war of liberation.

Our army is in a huge crisis in the Northeast.

At this time, our army's base areas in the Northeast region were only the North Manchu base area and the South Manchu base area on the Songhua River.

This makes South Manchuria the key to the next situation in the Northeast. As long as South Manchuria can hold on, the Kuomintang will have to divide its forces and take care of both the north and the south. If it is unable to concentrate its forces to form a breakthrough, Jiefangjun will have the opportunity to make another breakthrough beyond the Songhua River. North occupies the heel.

Once Southern Manchuria is lost, the Kuomintang will have no worries and can concentrate its efforts on attacking the base areas in Northern Manchuria.

Behind the South Manchu base area is the Yalu River. The North Korean government across the river gave the South Manchu base area various kinds of help at this critical moment.

Providing a base for the rear, North Korea accepted more than 1.5 wounded liberated soldiers and resettled more than 18 support personnel and family members throughout the War of Liberation.

The supply of supplies and equipment reached more than 1947 tons from June to December 6 alone, including a large amount of Japanese military supplies.

Help transport and help liberate Fangjun transport troops and military supplies.

Since ancient times, China has had a saying that "a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of spring". What's more, during the critical period of fighting for the Northeast, North Korea gave so much help to North and South Manchuria. The kindness in this is immeasurable. .

Even if North Korea was controlled by the Soviet Union at that time, its real inspiration may have been the Soviet Union.

The next development of the situation was consistent with Su's idea.

Just like in 1947, under the control of the United States, the United Nations Security Council urgently passed the United States' proposal and decided to form a United Nations army to provide all military assistance to Bangzi.

When voting, Su was missing.

Just because Sri Lanka has seen the shamelessness of the United States and knows that the United States will definitely control the United Nations like it did in 1947, so whether they go or not, the result will be the same.

Moreover, the United States' participation in the Korean battlefield is in line with his plan and expectations.

Whether he joins or not, it will be beneficial to him.

The U.S. military joined the battlefield and carried out the Inchon landing.

The follow-up plan came as expected.

The United Nations forces completed the counterattack as quickly as possible and pushed back the North Korean People's Army in one fell swoop.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

There were countless casualties in the field, and all kinds of heavy weapons and equipment were discarded, including tanks, artillery, anti-tank weapons, etc.

The United Nations troops soon brought the war to the Yalu River, and even the arrogant MacArthur sent planes to bomb the Sino-North Korean border.

What Sri Lanka is looking forward to is whether the Central Committee will send troops.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether we send troops or not.

All Si has to do is watch the fire from the other side.

If China does not send troops, the United Nations forces will soon burn the war to the Yalu River, place tanks on the other side of the Yalu River, build an airport on the other side of the Yalu River, and build a naval base on the Korean Peninsula across the sea from China. China does not have the ability to establish a defense line on the Sino-North Korean border to resist the United Nations forces. At that time, the Soviet Union will be able to enter the situation and take back the two Hao Army bases, the Grand Army and the Brigade, on the pretext of stationing the navy and confronting the United Nations forces.

They want to return to the Middle East Railway under the pretext of transporting troops, tanks, artillery and other weapons and equipment.

Although North Korea is gone, their naval bases and railways are still there.

Moreover, when Sri Lanka withdrew its troops in 1948, it had thought about abandoning North Korea. The border line of North Korea is cold in winter and is not suitable for building a naval base. To occupy North Korea, it needs to expand on both Europe and North Korea.

Once the Cold War reaches its peak, the Soviet Union will have to fight on two fronts.

One battlefield is in southern Europe, and the other is in eastern Korea.

The only thing connecting these two places is the Siberian Railway. Once there is an accident on the railway, the two places cannot be connected. If we stick to Europe, the US military can attack from North Korea. If we stick to North Korea, the US military can attack from Europe. Moreover, among the big European families, Europe’s center of gravity is more important than the Korean Peninsula.

Abandoning the Korean Peninsula and occupying the naval bases of China and Brigade, the China-Eastern Railway is actually a worthwhile choice.

Second.

How could a new, impoverished country that needed help from the Soviet Union for its aircraft, that had neither tanks nor a navy, be able to defeat the United Nations forces that had superiority in land, sea and air?

They will be defeated soon, and the United Nations forces can still occupy North Korea. When they take action, the situation will be the same as the former.

This is a complete fight between the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman wins.

He thinks more about the former.

As for the latter, he firmly believes that New China, which was founded less than a year ago, does not have the courage to fight the United Nations army composed of 16 countries with the power of one country.

just.

He underestimated China, and even more underestimated the determination of the Chinese nation to protect this hard-won happiness.

A demobilization plan was still underway to lay off 150 million people. The plan to reduce military spending was quickly halted, and the plan to establish a border defense force was put on the agenda.

The 42nd Army, which was the only one to perform reclamation tasks in Heilongjiang, quickly brought weapons and equipment, took a train, and gathered in the areas around Tonghua and Meihekou, ready for action.

Here, the 42nd Army began to train and prepare for war.

The 38th Army is still reclaiming wasteland in the Huangfan area.

Most of the Yellow River areas are concentrated in Nanhe, Hui'an and other places. Before the end of the year, the triumphant team received the task of reclaiming wasteland on the way, and then went to the Central Plains area non-stop to carry out the task.

At the end of June, the 38th Army still did not move in these areas.

Many soldiers and commanders are still unclear about what happened. Only Commander Liang of the 38th Army received a secret message from northern Beijing. The content of the secret message was related to the war on the Korean Peninsula and mentioned the proposal to establish a Northeast Frontier Defense Force.

Commander Liang seemed to realize something.

Didn't sleep all night.

The vast majority of the 38th Army are soldiers from the Northeast. They are very familiar with fighting in cold areas and are the main force. The establishment of the Northeast Border Defense Force will inevitably absorb the 38th Army.

Some relatively sensitive warriors seemed to be aware of the movements of their superiors, and felt a storm coming.

night.

Xia Yuan soaked his feet and listened to the chatter of everyone in the room.

"Why is there suddenly no movement in demobilization?"

"I don't know. In the past two days, Instructor Hu was talking every day, doing ideological mobilization, but now he suddenly stopped talking."

"This is a decision made by superiors. Don't discuss what you are discussing." The happiest person is undoubtedly Liu. Not mobilizing and demobilizing means that he can continue to stay in the army, which is a good thing.

"The monitor is happy."

"No, everyone knows that the squad leader doesn't want to leave the army."

Xiao Heping also joked: "If the squad leader stays, I can continue to eat the meals cooked by the squad leader."

Some soldiers said: "Don't say anything. If the squad leader leaves, it will take at least some time for us to adapt to the change."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Everyone laughed.

I feel happy for Mr. Liu from the bottom of my heart.

Only Xia Yuan knew that in less than four months, they would go to the Korean battlefield.

The 38th Army was the first batch of troops to enter North Korea to fight.

"You kid, what are you thinking about? You look like you're worried." Old Liu noticed that Xia Yuan beside him didn't speak or move his feet. When he looked at his face again, he looked gloomy, as if he wasn't pretending. Worry less.

He liked this kid very much. He was smart, sensible, and kept silent while working.

He is only sixteen years old, and having such a patient mind is very suitable for him to be a warrior.

"Nothing." Xia Yuan shook his head, his thoughts were a bit messy, and he couldn't remember the time clearly. He only knew that the incident of rushing to the Northeast was probably in July or August. He really forgot the specific day.

However, it is already early July, so it is probably soon.

On July 1950, 7, U.S. ground forces participated in the first battle against the South Korean Army. MacArthur originally thought that as long as the U.S. military showed up symbolically, the Korean People's Army would panic. After all, the U.S. military was at its peak at that time, and almost never failed in every battle it participated in.

Especially in the Pacific War, facing the ferocious Japanese army, the US military exploded with powerful combat effectiveness.

However, what they did not expect was that the opponents they faced were the four groups who had participated in the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation.

Even in North Korea, the four fields were scattered by Jin on the Korean battlefield, making it impossible for them to unite with each other, but a single unit could press the two Korean People's Army units in Jin's hands to the ground and rub them together.

The U.S. military encountered unprecedented resistance, suffered heavy casualties, and had to retreat.

Twenty-five years later, Time magazine published in Japan in 25 gave this description of the battle: When the U.S. military retreated, they only took away the wounded and covered the dead with the Stars and Stripes and left them alone.

The U.S. military that participated in the war in North Korea for the first time did not show much combat effectiveness, but the country had begun to prepare for a rainy day.

On July 7, the third day before the US military entered the war, a conference on national defense was held in northern Beijing.

The meeting lasted for several days, focusing on whether the U.S. military's participation in the war would have an impact on the North Korean army. After discussion at the meeting, it was concluded that the U.S. military's participation in the war would mean that the North Korean army would not be able to withstand the U.S. attack.

During this period, the US military was one of the most powerful countries in the world.
