567 Great Depth VS Key Defense and Scorched Earth Tactics

Just as Yasuo Yasuda tried hard to explain to the revolutionary prophet why the Japanese Red Navy fell out at a critical moment. Thousands of miles away, an extremely important military conference was being held in the combat room of the Japanese Revolutionary Military Commission.

The Japanese Red Army General Advisor Buluhell stood in front of a huge map platform and handed a baton to his deputy Cui Kov: "Comrade Cui Kov, tell the Japanese comrades what we think."

"yes!"

Buluheer can't speak Japanese, and Muto Nobuyoshi, Teraunuchi Shouchi, Masaki Shisaburo and others in the war room couldn't understand Russian. So Buluheer simply asked Cui Kov to speak on his behalf. Cui Kov was a Tsarist Russian naval naval sailor. After the October Revolution, he entered the training class for the Red Army's Moscow military instructors. After graduation, he served as officers in the Southern Front, Eastern Front and Western Fronts. After the end of the Soviet-Russian Civil War, he had already participated in the Blitzkrieg Poland.

After the battle, he served in the Western Front until he entered the Trotsky Military Academy in 1925. After his studies, he joined the famous First Tank Army as the battalion commander of the Tank Battalion, the brigade commander of the Tank Brigade and the deputy commander of the Tank Army, and accumulated rich experience in command of mechanized troops. An important reason why he was sent to Japan this time was to help the Japanese Red Army train the tank division and teach the Japanese Red Army how to use these precious tanks.

After taking the baton, Cui Kov pointed to the Korean Peninsula on the map: "According to the requirements put forward by the Japanese Revolutionary Military Commission, the Korean War must be decided quickly and won. To achieve such a goal, our army should adopt the tactics of sudden attacks, large-scale offensives and continuous offensive operations. That is, the large-scale assault tactics, and strive for the greatest suddenness and the shortest time to achieve a decisive victory!

According to the intelligence, the total number of North Korean puppet troops, including informal troops, is only 350,000, with 1,200 cannons, no tanks or armored vehicles, and the combat ideas and methods are completely stuck in the mode of World War I. They built a defense line of about 220 kilometers in a relatively narrow area in the central Korean Peninsula. Three troops were deployed about 150,000, and positions were defended by trenches, barbed wire, anti-aircraft fortifications, cannons and machine guns.

Of course, with such a little force, coupled with this outdated tactic, the possibility of the North Korean puppet army defending the 38th line is almost non-existent. However, in the past seven years, the Japanese Red Army has not been able to break through such a thin line of defense and liberate the highly oppressed North Korean people. The reason is the imperialist China in the north!

At present, the Chinese have deployed two million troops on the Sino-Soviet border, of which Manchuria and the Far East coastal areas close to the Korean Peninsula are the focus of the deployment of the China-Soviet team. Intelligence shows that the Chinese imperialists have deployed a front army there, seven to eight armies, more than twenty infantry or armored troops, with a total force of more than one million! They are also equipped with a large number of tanks, aircraft, heavy artillery, which poses a major threat to the security of Japan and the Soviet Union, and are also the biggest obstacle to our liberating North Korea. Therefore, we must respond before the Chinese team and enter North Korea in large quantities. Give North Korean puppet troops an annihilated strike."

"How could the 350,000 North Korean puppet troops be eliminated in a short period of time?"

Teruchi Nakachi raised doubts, and Cui Kov smiled and said, "It is of course impossible to use the traditional positional warfare model. Moreover, the width of the Korean Peninsula is limited, and it is already the limit to be able to set up 300,000 to 400,000 troops on the front battlefield near the 38th degree line. If you adopt the front flat push mode, you will not be able to hit the Yalu River for several months. However, using the latest large-scale assault tactics of the Soviet Red Army's large-scale assault operations, with the powerful Japanese tank division, and then using the powerful Japanese navy to coordinate operations, I am sure to give a devastating blow to the North Korean puppet troops gathered north of the 38th degree line within a week!"

Cui Kov used his baton to gently stroke the North Korean military position marked on the map, and said confidently: "A defense line of more than 200 kilometers is concentrated, as long as the firepower is concentrated, the assault column composed of tanks, cavalry, and motorized troops is inserted into their rear as a sharp knife... The general collapse of the North Korean puppet army is inevitable... Just like the Battle of Poland in 1923 and the Battle of Avas in 1924!"

After hearing this, Takeda Yuki and Muto Nobuyi nodded. These two battles have now been textbooks for Army Officers' Schools in all countries around the world. Of course, they are classics among classics. The commander of the Soviet Red Army who commanded these two battles is recognized as the authority of using tanks in this era. Since the authority has been given a promise, what else can I doubt?

However, Teraunuchi Sakaichi, who has been commanding operations on the Korean Peninsula for a long time, frowned and said: "In recent years, the ** team also attached great importance to the development of tanks and armored vehicles. The Volkswagen Tractor Company alone can produce four or five thousand tanks and armored vehicles every year... In the whole of Japan, there are only more than 200 T26 and T28 tanks assisted by the Soviet Union. Once the reinforcements of the China Team crossed the Yalu River, how should we resist?"

Hearing this question, Cui Kov's brows frowned tightly. He was indeed sure to defeat the North Korean puppet army with a sudden attack with a force of 350,000, and was even 70% sure that it could be done before the Chinese reacted. But what if the Chinese reacted? Although the Chinese army did not use tanks and they stubbornly used tanks to disperse and allocated them to infantry divisions, rather than gathering together to form a tank army. However, the annual output of four or five thousand vehicles is not a joke, and it is even slightly more than the tanks produced by the Soviet Union in a year. This number of advantages can no longer be defeated by tactics alone. Unless the Soviet Union put all its efforts, it is only a matter of time before the Japanese Red Army was driven out of the Korean Peninsula...

...

Nanjing, Tangshan official residence.

"I, Zijiang and Comrade Ishi Chuan are here, come and have a look."

Visiting were Wang Junhao and Peng Dhuai, the chief and deputy commanders of the National Defense Army. As soon as they entered the gate of the main building of the official residence, they heard loud discussions coming from the conference room. After entering, they found that Bai Chongxi and Zhao Zhen had already arrived. Several generals with a lower seniority had also arrived. They were Wang Geng, the new deputy commander of the Armored Soldier and principal of the Armored Soldier School, and Pan Wenzhao, the chief of staff of the Armored Soldier. The two were Sun Liren and Hu Zongnan, who were recently appointed as the commander of the Armored Grenadier Division, as well as Tian Yuchen, the deputy commander of Chang Ruiqing, and Chen Xinrui, a beautiful female officer in the military uniform of a major.

This conference room, which is used for small meetings on weekdays, was changed to a war room. A large military map of the Korean Peninsula was hung on the wall, and the conference table was also turned into a sand table, which also showed the situation on the Korean Peninsula. Tian Yuchen and Chen Xinrui played guest-in-charge and were placing military symbols on the sand table. Those who were talking were Sun Liren and Hu Zongnan. The two of them stood on both sides of the sand table with their arms in their arms, constantly giving orders, while Tian Yuchen and Chen Xinrui were placing military symbols according to their orders. It turned out that a war chess performance related to the situation on the Korean Peninsula was being carried out here.

Sun Liren "commanded" the Japanese Red Army, and his opponent was Hu Zongnan, who "commanded" the South Korean Defense Forces. Both of them graduated from the Central Military Academy and participated in the Sino-Japanese War in 1923. Hu Zongnan also participated in the Chinese Expeditionary Force's misfortune defeat in Persia. After the end of the Persian War, armored soldiers became a popular soldier in the world. Both of them were admitted to the Armored Soldier School and became classmates. After graduation, they were all doing pretentious battles.

Armored soldiers later went to Army University. In the past two years, China's armored soldiers expanded greatly, and they were successful in their official careers. They were both promoted to Lieutenant General Division Commander (the rank of the commander of the Armored Grenadier Division was one level higher than that of the Infantry Division). Today, Wang Geng and Pan Wenzhao took them to the Tangshan official residence to accept the letter of appointment. They happened to meet Bai Chongxi, and Zhao Zhen was discussing the situation in North Korea with Chang Ruiqing. As a result, Prime Minister Chang was on a whim and asked the two new armored soldiers commanders to perform a war chess.

When Wang Junhao and Peng D-huai arrived, the result of the war chess was almost out. The 800,000 Japanese Red Army defeated 500,000 South Korean National Defense Forces in less than 15 days. The South Korean army commanded by Hu Zongnan had retreated to the border of the Yalu River, and was about to be wiped out...

"Thirty Japanese infantry divisions, one cavalry group, and one tank division, it took half a month to defeat ten Korean infantry troops..." Chang Ruiqing roughly told Wang Junhao and Peng Dhuai the result of the war chess, and then shrugged and said, "If North Korea really fights like this, we will be in great trouble!"

Wang Junhao and Peng Dhuai looked at each other, and both showed a little surprised expression. Peng Dhuai said: "Brother Yaoru, what happened? Is the Japanese really going to attack South Korea in large numbers? Is this unlikely?"

Although I have obtained a lot of accurate information about the world revolution, Peng Dhuai still doesn't believe that the Japanese really dare to attack South Korea in large numbers, because it will inevitably lead to China's interference. The strength of the Japanese army is definitely not an enemy of the Chinese army!

Wang Junhao shook his head and said, "At 800,000 to 500,000, it should be evenly matched. The terrain of the Korean Peninsula is so narrow, how could it be that the Japanese army won a complete victory within 15 days?" He looked up at Sun Liren. "Fumin, how did you do this? Is this military chess deduction accurate? I have seen the defense line of the South Korean army with my own eyes, and it has been repaired quite strongly. Recently, we have also provided a large number of anti-tank guns, anti-tank mines and anti-tank guns to them. A Japanese tank division may not be able to perform a miraculous effect, right?"

"San Gong," Sun Liren picked up a baton and gently stroked the east coast of the Korean Peninsula on the sand table, saying, "The Japanese Red Army, under the command of the Ministry of Justice, tore open the Korean military defense line from the coast of the east coast of North Korea, in the eastern foothills of the Taibai Mountains, and then burst into the army with armored forces..."

"From the eastern foot of Taibai Mountains? How is that possible?" Wang Junhao waved his hand and interrupted: "It is Lianmian Mountain area, with a dangerous terrain and a solid defense line. How can you break through?"

Sun Liren used his command baton to point a warship symbol sign on the sand table and said: "No matter how strong the defense line of the South Korean army is, it cannot withstand the 410mm main gun of the Japanese battleship! As long as you are willing to let the shells and cannon fodder, the Ministry of Justice believes that in three days, you can definitely tear a hole at the easternmost end of the South Korean army's defense line. Then use a assault cluster composed of tank divisions, cavalry groups and motorized infantry to break into the rear of the South Korean army. Provincial Duke, have you noticed that although the defense line of the South Korean army is solid, it is only one! Once it is broken through by the Japanese rapid column, it is very likely to cause a collapse of the entire line!

According to reliable intelligence, t28 and t26, they can travel more than 150 kilometers under off-road conditions! Such assault capabilities are unimaginable by the traditional line combat mode, so the South Korean army has no way to adjust the situation in time and rebuild a new defense line. The real power of mechanized troops is not to break through the enemy's solid defense line, but to the rapid maneuvering and continuous combat capabilities after breaking through the enemy's defense line. This is the characteristic of the Soviet Union's large-scale assault operation."

"If North Korea really can't stand it, we will definitely send troops to rescue him," Peng Dhuai shook his head and said, "The Japanese army is just one tank division, killing more than 200 tanks. It's not enough to see in front of us. What's the point of doing this?"

Bai Chongxi nodded. He thought about this question: "Yes, but it is not so easy for us to drive the Japanese out of the Korean Peninsula. Currently, they have 2 million permanent troops. If they are fully mobilized and gathered six or seven million troops, it is no problem. In this way, the Korean War is likely to be long-term and at least millions of our troops will be restrained. Therefore, we must give Japan a head-on blow and let them completely dispel the idea of ​​advancing north."

Chang Ruiqing pursed his lips fiercely and said in a deep voice: "It's not that we attacked the Japanese, but that the Korean army attacked the Japanese! We must destroy Japan's idea of ​​advancing north, and also destroy Trotsky's confidence in the Japanese army. Otherwise, joining Japan to attack Manchuria will always be an option for Trotsky."

"The South Korean army has now expanded to 500,000 people, of which the regular army has about 400,000, and formed four army 24 infantry divisions, with more than 1,500 cannons and more than 300 tank and armored vehicles. However, they are all Type A tanks and light wheeled armored vehicles that we eliminated, and the Air Force has more than 100 aircraft. The Navy has some light gunboats and torpedo boats." Bai Chongxi knew the situation of the South Korean army and immediately reported a series of data.

Chang Ruiqing nodded slightly and smiled, "Do you have any ideas? You can mention them all."

"Prime Minister, the Ministry of Justice has some idea." The first person to speak was Hu Zongnan. He was beaten up by Sun Liren in the war chess performance just now, so he kept thinking about how to defend North Korea.

"Shoushan, just say anything if you have any ideas." Chang Ruiqing said.

Hu Zongnan picked up his baton and stood in front of the sand table.

"The idea of ​​the Ministry of Justice is to focus on defense and scorched earth tactics. I think the biggest weakness of the South Korean army is actually the weak force. North Korea's population is only a few million, and mobilizing 500,000 or 600,000 troops should be the limit of its military mobilization. It is difficult to deploy a large-scale defense system in North Korea with such a small force. Moreover, the sea control power on the east coast of the Korean Peninsula is controlled by the Japanese army. The South Korean army must deploy heavy troops at several important ports on the east coast to prevent the Japanese from landing... In this case, if

Then adopting the in-depth defense tactics proposed by the Germans will only cause the troops to be too dispersed and it is easy to be broken through by the superior Japanese army. Therefore, the only way is to concentrate troops to defend several important cities, such as Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, the important cities on the east coast of Hamhung, Wonsan, and the border city of Shinyiju on the south bank of the Yalu River. At the same time, it will completely destroy all infrastructure such as North Korea's roads, bridges, railways, etc. It is best to temporarily move the citizens who have no combat effectiveness in North Korea to the north bank of the Yalu River..."

Chang Ruiqing looked at the sand table and saw a scene in his mind that in the late period of the Liberation War, two or three million Kuomintang troops were divided and surrounded by the G army in North China, and several major cities in the northeast were waiting for the entire army to be wiped out... This Hu Zongnan is really worthy of being the proud student of Principal Jiang!

Peng D-huai suddenly spoke: "There is no need to defend Shin-Yiju and Wonsan. North Korea has limited troops and should be concentrated as much as possible. In my opinion, you only need to defend Pyongyang and Ham Hung, and you can even defend Pyongyang alone, and then deploy some guerrilla detachments in the Gaima Plateau and Hamgyong Mountains."

"Shi Chuan, do you agree with General Shoushan's method?" After hearing General Peng's words, Chang Ruiqing hesitated and asked back: "Is it possible for us to take the method of luring the enemy into depth and destroy the Japanese armored cluster that broke into the alone army?"

"It's not possible to use the North Korean army. Their weapons, equipment and training levels are not high. The Japanese army's combat effectiveness is far above them, and the number is more than them, and their style is quite tenacious." Peng D said thoughtfully: "And our intelligence work may be difficult to keep up. If we cannot master the opponent's trump card, it is difficult to fight a clever battle. The only way is Hu Shoushan's method, scorched earth tactics, to fight tough battles with the Japanese in Pyongyang!" He paused and added: "Or we would intervene in all."

"Brother Jiansheng, what do you think?" Chang Ruiqing frowned and asked Bai Chongxi for his opinion.

"I also agree with Ishi Chuan and Shoushan." Bai Chongxi thought for a while and said, "The combat effectiveness of the North Korean army is not strong, and they rarely gain advantage in the small-scale conflicts between the 38th line and the Japanese. I am afraid that there are some problems with fear of Japan. Moreover, the officers of the North Korean army are of low quality and cannot organize too complex tactics. Fighting the city defense battle is indeed the best choice. But... Will Chi tycoon, Jin Zuozhen and Jin Jiu agree to give up most of their territory and concentrate their troops to defend Pyongyang?"

"I went to Pyongyang to tell them." Chang Ruiqing raised his eyes and glanced at several senior generals in the room. "I also plan to send a staff advisory team to help the North Koreans command the army. Who would you like to be the leader of this advisory team?"
