Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

This kind of report was of course left to Yang Quanwu.

The chairman nodded.

The report of the General Staff was approved.

This wasn't the first time someone had made such a prediction. Shortly after the Korean War broke out, Wei Hongjun proposed that it would go through three phases. The final phase envisioned the US military cutting off the already stretched Korean People's Army.

Deng Guo even said that the US military may carry out a three-in-one landing operation by sea, land and air in the middle of the coast of the Korean Peninsula.

However, this time, the General Staff raised the issue at a formal meeting on the Korean issue. Of course, the Chairman himself had studied the Korean War and believed that the possibility of the UN forces landing at Inchon was very high.

So the Chairman said: "Comrade Wu Hao, inform the North Korean and Soviet governments about the possibility of the enemy landing in Incheon and other places, and tell the North Korean government to prepare for the worst case scenario."

"good.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Staff should pay close attention to the situation of the Korean War."

"yes.,

"If, as the General Staff predicted, the enemy lands at Inchon and cuts off the Korean People's Army, the situation on the Korean Peninsula will take a sharp turn for the worse. The troops must be fully prepared. Comrade Wei Hongjun, can the North China Frontier Defense Forces be deployed and stationed first?"

An important region in Northeast China.

Everyone here has led troops in battle.

Everyone knew that if the Korean People's Army was really cut off by the UN forces, the situation on the Korean Peninsula would deteriorate rapidly. If we were to make preparations at that time, time would be tight.

Wei Hongjun nodded.

He said, "Chairman, I will discuss this matter with the General Staff and the Border Guards and come up with a plan after I return."

The Korean War had been going on for more than two months.

In a few days, the US military would land at Inchon, and in another twenty days or so, they would cross the 38th parallel. After that, the US military would advance all the way to the Sino-Korean border. So the border guards didn't have much time left.

Now the North China Border Defense Force should slowly move to the Northeast.

Only when the troops are deployed not far from the Yalu River can they respond quickly when something happens.

On behalf of the Military Commission, General He proposed: "The UN forces in Busan are already quite strong. Once they send more troops, their strength will quickly reach 300,000 in a short period of time. Therefore, once this war breaks out, it will not be a small-scale war, but a war of millions of people."

The Military Commission therefore recommended that, in addition to the existing Northeast and North China Frontier Defense Armies, a second-line corps consisting of three or four armies be formed, stationed either in Henan or Shandong. This corps could be mobilized at any time should any incident occur on the front lines.

"Comrade Wu Hao, what do you think?"

"I think so."

"Comrade Red Army, what do you think?"

"Chairman, I think this is a good suggestion. With a second-line corps, we don't have to panic when the front needs us.

After hearing what the Premier and Wei Hongjun said, the Chairman nodded and said, "Then this matter is settled. Comrade Hongjun, you discuss with the Military Commission which troops to withdraw and where to station them. Once you have a plan, report it to me."

"yes.'

At this time, Deng Guo said: "Chairman, Prime Minister, the logistics of the Northeast Border Defense Army is currently the responsibility of the Northeast Military Region, and the logistics of the North China Border Defense Army is the responsibility of the North China Military Region. But once the North China Border Defense Army is stationed in the Northeast, how will the logistics be handled?

The army was originally prepared to prevent the Korean War. I propose to establish a border defense army headquarters to fully unify the command of the two forces, rather than the current situation where command and logistics are dispersed.

Previously, it was to form separate troops.

, and it was not certain what would happen in the future. So the Northeast Border Defense Army and the North China Border Defense Army belonged to the Northeast Military Region and the North China Military Region respectively, but now both troops have to be stationed in the Northeast, and they may enter North Korea together in the future and directly obey the Central Committee and the Military Commission. So it is not suitable

This is the current model. In this case, unified command of the troops and unified logistics are necessary.

"A unified border defense headquarters should be established."

The Chairman agreed with Deng Guo’s proposal.

The Chairman glanced at Wei Hongjun as he spoke.

At present, the most suitable person is Wei Hongjun. Wei Hongjun has been in charge of North Korean affairs and border defense affairs for a long time. It is only natural for him to be in charge of the border defense. However, Wei Hongjun has been away from the front-line command of the army for three years.

It was a little unreasonable to suddenly ask him to command troops in battle.

However, considering the composition of the border defense forces and the current attitude of the Politburo leadership towards the North Korean issue, the Chairman still favored Wei Hongjun. Wei Hongjun had a keen eye for analyzing the North Korean issue and was the only leader at the Politburo level to clearly support entering North Korea.

So he said, "I propose that Comrade Hongjun be appointed Commander and Political Commissar of the Border Defense Army. What are your opinions?"

"I support Comrade Hong Jun as the commander and political commissar of the border defense army."

The Prime Minister does not want any problems to occur in this position.

There are still some leaders who are qualified to be the top leader of the border defense army. Marshal Nie, General Peng, Marshal Lin, General He, General Chen, and Marshal Liu are all qualified to be the top leader. In fact, Marshal Nie is very suitable from the perspective of the composition of the troops. But Marshal Nie and General Chen are not good at commanding troops in combat.

As for the others, Marshal Lin was clearly against sending troops. He told the Premier in Moscow that it was not enough and even sent a telegram to the Central Committee to express his opinion. However, General Peng, General He, and Marshal Liu were not familiar with the Northeast Frontier Defense Army and the North China Frontier Defense Army. There was not much history.

Many origins.

If they were to come and serve as the head of the border defense force, they would need time to get used to each other.

Wei Hongjun is just the right person.

A member of the Politburo, a high enough status. He was also from Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei. Many of the North China Frontier Defense Forces were either former units of Wei Hongjun, or brother units of the former Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region and later North China.

Including the Northeast Frontier Army.

Many troops have ties to Wei Hongjun, and he and Deng Guona are old comrades. With Wei Hongjun in charge of the border defense forces, there will be fewer disputes.

"I support it too."

Mr. He nodded.

Mr. He and Wei Hongjun actually don’t have much personal relationship, it can be said that the two are not familiar with each other.

But General He remained kind to Wei Hongjun.

During the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation, Jinchaji always supported the Jinsui Military Region of General He. Especially after the Eighth Column captured Zhangjiakou, the Eighth Column provided Jinsui troops with a large amount of weapons, ammunition and logistical supplies. Later, they even dispatched troops to support

Jinsui Military Region.

Moreover, every time we provide support, the Eighth Column is very straightforward and won’t bargain with you.

Many of the troops under General He's command originally came from the Jin-Cha-Ji region. And although Wei Hongjun had little friendship with General He, he had good relationships with Zhang Zhongxun, Huang Xinting, Yu Qiuli, and others under General He.

Besides, it was legitimate for Wei Hongjun to be in charge of the border defense forces, and General He would not object. Seeing that both the Premier and General He supported it, the Chairman said to the Premier, "Then let's convene a Central Committee meeting to finalize this matter."

"it is good."

"Comrade Hongjun, please discuss with the Military Commission how to organize the Border Defense Army Headquarters."

"Yes."

Wei Hongjun already understood that as long as he served as the commander and political commissar of the border defense army, then when the troops entered North Korea, he would most likely serve as the commander and political commissar of the volunteer army.

Wei Hongjun was not afraid of leading his troops into North Korea.

Soon, the Chairman convened a meeting of the Central Committee, formally establishing the Border Defense Army Headquarters and appointing Wei Hongjun as its commander and political commissar. Wei Hongjun discussed the matter with the Military Commission, the Northeast Border Defense Army, and the North China Border Defense Army.

The final result was the abolition of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army and the North China Frontier Defense Army.

The Border Defense Army Commander directly commands the 13th and 20th Corps. Wei Hongjun serves as the Border Defense Army Commander and Political Commissar, Deng Guo serves as the First Deputy Commander and First Political Commissar of the Border Defense Army, Zheng Weishan serves as the Second Deputy Commander of the Border Defense Army and Commander of the 20th Corps, and Lei Jiabin serves as

Deputy Commander of Logistics and Commander of Logistics Headquarters, Hong Xuezhi, Deputy Commander of 13th Corps, was transferred to serve as Deputy Commander of Logistics Headquarters and Director of Logistics Department of Border Defense Army. Zhu Liangcai was appointed as Second Deputy Political Commissar of Border Defense Army and Political Commissar of 20th Corps, Xia Houwen was appointed as Third Deputy Political Commissar and Director of Logistics Headquarters.

Gan Siqi served as the political commissar of the Border Defense Command and the fourth deputy political commissar and director of the political department of the Border Defense Army.

After discussion with the Military Commission, Wei Hongjun reported it to the Central Committee.

The Central Committee approved the report.

Wei Hongjun established the Border Defense Army Headquarters and began to mobilize the 20th Corps to station troops in Northeast China. As a result, the 13th Corps was stationed in the area north of Linjiang, Jilin, and the 20th Corps was stationed in Liaoyang, Dandong, Benxi, and other places.

While Wei Hongjun was mobilizing border defense troops, on August 1950, 8, MacArthur commanded the United Nations forces to land in Incheon.

835 Border Guard Meeting

The UN forces landed in Incheon, catching the Korean People's Army off guard.

Despite China's reminder, the Korean People's Army subjectively did not take it too seriously. They were blinded by the superficial victory. Objectively, the Korean People's Army also did not have the strength to stop the United Nations Army's Incheon landing. The Korean People's Army itself did not have that many troops, only about 100,000.

There are many newly recruited soldiers among them.

The Korean People's Army's front line was stretched out, and after the troops were dispersed, it was impossible to concentrate their forces in a short period of time.

The Chairman gathered the opinions of the Military Commission and sent a telegram to North Korea, telling them that once the UN forces landing in Incheon took Seoul, the entire Korean People's Army would be cut off, and the main force of the People's Army in the south would be cut off, and these troops would not be able to withdraw at all.

If the Korean People's Army's troops in the south were annihilated, the Korean People's Army would be severely damaged and would not be able to stop the UN forces at all.

So I hope the North Korean troops will be decisive.

Frontline troops should retreat as quickly as possible. Also, troops defending Seoul should not engage in a relentless fight; such a fight against the UN forces will not be beneficial. They should concentrate their forces, maneuver flexibly, and concentrate their forces to annihilate the small UN force units.

However, at this time the People's Army troops were completely panicked.

This is also true for Jinricheng himself.

When the various troops heard that the UN forces had landed in Incheon, they did not know what to do for a moment.

It can be said that the UN Army's Incheon landing changed the entire Korean War situation, turning the Korean People's Army from an advantage to a disadvantage. After hearing that the UN Army's Incheon landing was successful, the US military in the entire Far East was encouraged.

The most inspired person among them was Chiang Kai-shek.

The generals under Chiang Kai-shek have been formulating plans for a counterattack on the mainland.

The remnants of the Nationalist army in the Golden Triangle not only entered Yunnan, but also came from North Vietnam to harass Guangxi. These people believed that the time had come to counterattack the mainland, so they became increasingly active in Guangxi, Yunnan and other places.

The remnants of the Nationalist army that attacked Guangxi were even organized into a regiment.

This caused the bandits in Guangxi, who had been doing much better, to revive. Luo Qirong, the political commissar of the South China Military Region, Yang Dezhi, the first deputy commander of the South China Military Region, Chen Kaikun, the second deputy commander of the South China Military Region, and Cheng Shicai, the third deputy commander of the South China Military Region, jointly reported to the Central South Military Region.

He forwarded this to the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, hoping to retain the five-army organization in the South China Military Region.

The South China Military Region had a very strong military force at the beginning.

There were more than 60 troops in total.

Enter Guangxi.

The corps under its jurisdiction include the 16th Corps led by Deng Guo, the 13th Corps led by Yang Dezhi, and the 19th Corps led by Chen Kaikun. In addition to these troops, there are also the Guangdong-Guangxi Column and the Qiongya Column in Hainan, as well as an army drawn from the 15th Corps in Hunan because of the ineffective suppression of bandits in Guangxi.

In addition, there are the National Army troops reorganized in Guangdong and Guangxi.

The military force is very strong.

However, the troops supporting Guangxi later returned to Hunan, the 13th Army was withdrawn from the 38th Corps, the 16th Army was withdrawn from the 49th Corps to the Northeast, the 19th Army of the 70th Corps was changed to the public security forces of the South China Military Region, and the Guangdong-Guangxi Column was changed to the Guangdong Public Security.

Another part of the troops were restored and organized into agricultural reclamation corps.
