Chapter 295: Sino-Japanese General Mobilization (7)

On November 30, the Northeast Army General Command ordered the establishment of the Korean War Theater Front Command, Xu Chengfeng became the commander, Cheng Ruofan became the chief of staff, Hu Xiushan was the deputy commander and commander of the Second Army. On December 1, Xu Chengfeng and Cheng Ruofan arrived in Pyongyang, where the Second Army Command was located.

The battlefield terrain structure was completed on the sand table of the headquarters. After watching for a while, Chief of Staff Cheng Ruofan asked the combat staff officer Zheng Xuhu to introduce the mission of the Fourth Army on the Eastern Front.

Zheng Xuhu is 27 years old, the average age of the first commanders of the Northeast Army. He speaks Shaanxi-style Mandarin. Zheng Xuhu introduced: "The commander of the Fourth Army is appointed by Major General Li Zhengqing, with four armies and 160,000 troops under his jurisdiction, responsible for the defense of the eastern part of North Korea and protecting the flank security of the second and third armies in the west."

Seeing that Hu Xiushan had not asked any questions, Xu Chengfeng asked: "Xiushan, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Hu Xiushan was silent for a moment before answering: "I still have some considerations about whether to retreat to the Yalu River. When the Chairman first proposed the plan a few years ago, we all felt that defending the Yalu River was beyond our limits. Now, it seems that we may occupy northern North Korea. Now many comrades are facing this temptation."

Xu Chengfeng looked cold, but he didn't say anything. Instead, Cheng Ruofan smiled and said, "It's normal for people to be greedy for Sichuan. It's not surprising that comrades think so, but if comrades who shouldn't think so still have such thoughts, it means that they are not suitable for these positions."

After hearing what Cheng Ruofan said, Xu Chengfeng roughly confirmed Hu Xiushan’s idea. But this matter is very important. Xu Chengfeng stared at Hu Xiushan, waiting for Hu Xiushan to give a clearer answer.

What Hu Xiushan thought was just as Cheng Ruofan said. Having a strong offensive spirit is not a bad thing, and some battles must be taken by this type of general. However, in the current battle arrangement, the offensive and defensive momentum is different. The Northeast Army changed from an offensive side to a defensive side, and the commander full of offensive spirit may not be suitable. Especially the Northeast Army has enough training but not enough precipitation. The pressure is overwhelming, and the sharp sharp knife often breaks before the iron pillar.

Since Cheng Ruofan has already mentioned this level, Hu Xiushan said: "I have written a plan and want to adjust the troops. Let's go over there and talk."

Xu Chengfeng and Cheng Ruofan followed Hu Xiushan to the office next to him. Soon, the plan for choosing a defense force was put in front of the two. There are now second, third, fourth and third armies in North Korea. There are 11 armies and 440,000 people in total. Add 250,000 logistics troops and 10,000 air force troops, totaling 700,000.

700,000 troops are arranged in two defense systems. The first defense system is mainly distributed about 60 kilometers south of Pyongyang. The second defense system is located north of Pyongyang, just in the area of ​​Changjin Lake where the Japanese troops stationed in North Korea is annihilated, 100 kilometers away from the Yalu River.

After the Northeast Army retreated to the second line of defense, it was connected with the Liaodong Peninsula. This is also the limit distance that the General Staff believed that the Northeast Army could break out a few years ago. With the rapid development of Northeast construction, the General Staff understood where He Rui's previous feeling of "as if he had other ideas".

Xu Chengfeng agrees with Hu Xiushan's view that the current battle plan is to kill the Japanese army to the maximum extent on both defense lines and withdraw the troops to the Yalu River defense line. The officers who can execute orders well will have a little more passive parts in their personalities. If they are described with high emotional intelligence, it is more reliable.

After studying the plan, Xu Chengfeng looked at Chief of Staff Cheng Ruofan. Cheng Ruofan said hesitantly: "I think the most important thing at the moment is that there is no problem with the combat plan. But we have no experience in judging who can better implement the retreat plan."

Xu Chengfeng and Hu Xiushan were both stunned. Both of them knew what Cheng Ruofan knew. But in terms of focus, Cheng Ruofan was quite different from the two. At this stage, Cheng Ruofan's perspective is more scheming.

But none of the three could solve this problem. Retreat is the most difficult part of tactics, especially large-scale retreat. If there are too many, it becomes a complaint. After all, before the battle, the headquarters was not so optimistic about the use of trucks on a large scale. As the rapid movement of military-level scale became a reality, they unconsciously developed a sense of dependence on trucks.

Cheng Ruofan suppressed the restlessness that popped up in his heart from time to time these days, and tried to analyze it with the most calm mood. "Since we don't know how to fight this battle well, I agree with Xiushan's view, so I will settle for the second best. After the parameters in the execution of the battle arrive, the next step will be started. If the battlefield situation is not used as the most important reference standard, what do you think?"

Xu Chengfeng was the first to agree with this view. Seeing Hu Xiushan still thinking, Xu Chengfeng could understand Hu Xiushan's unwillingness because Xu Chengfeng was also very unwilling. Over the past 7 years, Xu Chengfeng has been very clear about the degree of great progress that the Northeast Army and he have made in military affairs. Based on such huge progress, Xu Chengfeng could truly see how huge the gap between himself and the Northeast Army and the top level in the military field was. This self-awareness is both an incentive and also a huge sense of frustration. Cheng Ruofan was able to frankly admit that the Northeast Army did not have the ability to retreat hundreds of thousands of troops, and his demeanor is very admirable.

Finally, Hu Xiushan spoke, "In terms of coastal defense and the arrangements of front-line support troops, we chose commanders with strong initiatives. The combat goals they have to undertake are very clear and must achieve the goals."

Without further ado, the three of them began to write down their views on the characteristics of these two commanders at their desks. After writing, the three of them communicated first. Then they invited the person in charge of personnel to discuss. There were a total of six people, and after discussing a rough conclusion, they sent them to the relevant departments for evaluation.

Such a judgment is to make things happen but not people. The relevant departments in the army conducted a comparison and analysis based on the war reports, selected them in a stack of forms, and handed over a box of reports to the Korean War Front Command on the third day.

Each list has records of relevant combat reports, and the history of these people's military service and the performance of the war they have participated in. Although some troops have not yet entered the war and have no actual combat experience records, they can basically meet the content required for the overall arrangement according to the impression of the headquarters.

After participating in the discussion on the last list, Xu Chengfeng stood up tiredly, "Let's do it. Send it to the General Command."

As the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, He Rui was not in the headquarters at this time. Over the years, as the industrial department of the Northeast government began to accumulate technical experience from scratch, the problem of technical iteration naturally emerged. When an existing technology has been applied for a long time, from principles to practice, some engineers will feel that the existing technology is not smart enough, not agile enough, and not effective enough. They have proposed new ideas.

At this time, if there are breakthroughs in other related fields and the technical prerequisites required for these ideas can be met, new technologies may appear, thus replacing the old technologies. Xu Chengfeng and others did not actually think about it, so they did not consciously realize that everyone's dissatisfaction with war practice is the result of military technology iteration. Moreover, the Northeast Army is also trying to complete new technological iterations through this war practice.

In the field of technology, this technological iteration actually appeared with Mr. Tesla. The Northeast government invited this silly old man, which was originally a bit like a thousand-month horse. The same is true in reality. Not many of the technology provided by Mr. Tesla can be used immediately, and many of the ideas were directly rejected by He Rui and the senior management of the power system. Because those ideas are already imagination, not reality.

However, after all, the old man has been in the United States for so long, and he still has some connections. Through these connections, the Northeast Electronics Institute has been imposed on the research on sputtering coating technology. After receiving the support of equipment research and development of partners from the United States, and with the magnetron technology produced by the Northeast Electromagnetic Research Institute, it can actually produce 10 pass rates.

This incident forced He Rui to devote his time to this aspect, hold meetings with young practitioners in various related fields, and hold a series of meetings on his application areas and related technical iteration areas.

After the meeting was held, the excited young people gathered around to ask for Q&A. He Rui could only get rid of everyone and go back to handle official duties first. After reading the documents from the previous headquarters, He Rui felt much more at ease.

Xu Chengfeng and others felt that they had not mastered the ability to retreat effectively, and He Rui did not have the ability to command hundreds of thousands of people to retreat on the battlefield. However, with the iteration of technology and the arrival of the information age, hundreds of thousands of troops were able to deal with various battle situations at any time and implement retreat in an orderly manner. At this stage, everyone can only rely on their own understanding and the battlefield intuition that has been tempered for thousands of times.

He Rui did not want to put pressure on his comrades, so he could only give instructing, "The General Command agreed to the plan of the Front Line Command."

After finishing this, He Rui saw an interesting news in the next document. President of the Belarusian Provisional Government in London, Denikin, made a request to the Northeast that the Northeast government would hand over the 16 tons of gold stored in the Northeast Bank to the "Russian Provisional Government". Because this money should belong to the Russian Provisional Government.

He Rui immediately felt that this must be the British who wanted to cause trouble. At this stage, Britain recognized Denikin's Russian government in exile, and France recognized Kolchak's Russian government in exile. The Beiyang side did not recognize these Russian exiles, nor did they recognize the Soviet government.

The gold stored in the Northeast Bank was taken away by the Kolchak government in exile from the Russian treasury of the old Tsarist in Kazan, and most of it was used to purchase weapons, equipment and materials provided by the Northeast government.

From all perspectives, the exiled government represented by Denikin had no reason to ask the Northeast government for this batch of gold. He Rui invited Zhao Tianlin. It was dark when Zhao Tianlin arrived. In the canteen, Zhao Tianlin asked while eating: "Chairman, this matter is a legal inheritance case. Is there any difficulty?"

He Rui smiled and said, "This case is not difficult. But this British scoundrel never takes action easily. Once it takes action, there will be a second move. So please ask Director Zhao to guide the case, and be sure to prove the legal ability of the Northeast government through this case."

As a legal expert, Zhao Tianlin did not boast about Haikou, but just replied: "I will organize people to analyze and study this case."

In the next few days, every department in the Northeast continued its work. Zhao Tianlin first sent official documents to Denikin, held a press conference, and through relations, published announcements in British and French newspapers such as the Times and Le Figaro, and published news.

‘In accordance with the principle of territorialism in international law, it is wrong for Mr. Denikin to make a request to the Northeast Government. The correct way is to submit a trial to the Northeast Court. Mr. Denikin asked to contact the Northeast Court within 30 days after receiving the official document.’

At this time, it immediately caused a huge sensation in Europe and the United States. For ordinary people eating melons, 16 tons of gold is an unimaginable huge wealth. This wealth comes from the Russian Tsar.

Royal family, death, women, wealth. No matter which one is it, it is the most exciting content element in novels and film and television works that have just appeared.

I have seen so many such things in books and movies, but they have really happened in reality. For a time, even the war between Northeast and Japan no longer attracted the attention of the European and American people.

Although Zhao Tianlin knew that there was such a possibility, he did not expect that things really came to this point. Moreover, He Rui's prediction was correct. The British ambassador to China, who had already planned, immediately took out the power of attorney from the Denikin's exile government and handed it over to a British law firm in China to take charge of the case.

Two days later, several diplomats from the Beiyang government came to visit Zhao Tianlin, and the leader was Lu Zhengxiang. As soon as he saw Zhao Tianlin, Lu Zhengxiang congratulated Zhao Tianlin first, "Director Zhao's response to the gold inheritance case is completely in line with judicial norms, which makes Britain unable to take advantage of the situation and is a model in justice and diplomacy. Therefore, he came to congratulate him in person."

Zhao Tianlin said politely, and then replied: "Mr. Lu is a senior and has participated in so many international conferences. Since Mr. Lu is here in person, I wonder what can I teach me?"

Lu Zhengxiang immediately replied: "Since Britain has suffered a setback, it will inevitably use other means. And France supports Kolchak's exiled government, and I believe Director Zhao is ready to deal with French intervention."

Zhao Tianlin didn't think much about it, so he smiled and said, "I have to ask Mr. Lu for advice on this matter."

Lu Zhengxiang and others came to cooperate, but they didn't show off their own good results and directly came up with a prepared analysis. Zhao Tianlin invited the cadres from the Department of Justice and everyone started to discuss it.

As Lu Zhengxiang expected, the next day, France also took out the power of attorney from the Kolchak Provisional Government, saying that this batch of gold should belong to the Kolchak Provisional Government. It was a funny incident that looked nonsensical, but it turned into an international incident in a blink of an eye.

The Northeast Government faced both British and French countries at the same time. Zhao Tianlin remembered He Rui's understatement and felt the determination to successfully resolve the matter.
