Chapter 1038, Yugong Action

[It is still three updates today, begging for subscription and begging for red tickets. Please let all readers be foolish to return to the category list. (_Book & Book & Bar) Thank you!]

Compared with the humid and hot weather in Vietnam all year round, northern North Korea has long been shrouded in white snow.[]

The 38th Division Base Camp located in the mountainous area in the northern Baiyan, the entire camp showed a silver-covered scene. Soldiers in thick winter clothes were busy transporting goods in the camp. This is the New Year's supplies specially approved by the Command Department this year to improve the living conditions of long-term combat soldiers.

In front of the Zhongjun Barracks, several guards were cleaning the snow in front of the door. At this time, Wang Chengbin, the commander of the 36th Division, came from a distance with his staff and adjutant, and asked General Staff General Wu where he is now at the door of the Zhongjun Barracks. After learning that Wu Peifu was still in the Zhongjun Barracks, he immediately lifted up the cotton curtain and walked in.

Four stoves were grown in the entire Central Military Barracks, and the temperature inside and outside the house was significantly different. Wang Chengbin took off his wool coat and handed it to the servants beside him, and then quickly walked towards the staff room.

Over the past few months, Wu Peifu has lost a lot of weight, his hair is dry and dull, and he is mixed with many white silks. The man in his prime seems to have grown older for no reason. Everyone knows why he is haggard. He boasted to the commander that he could conquer Huishan within one month, but he did not expect that the 17th Division in Huishan would still fight tenaciously without cutting off logistics supplies for four months.

Wu Peifu even heard that the Japanese soldiers in Huishan City could eat for seven days with two kilograms of rice, and most of the time they relied on eating salt and snow to fill their hunger. Of course, he also heard that the Japanese soldiers killed the Koreans in Huishan City and used human flesh to solve the problem of food and grass. No matter what the reason was, the Japanese persisted and maintained their strong combat power to resist the siege of the Chinese army.

After the adjutant informed Wang Chengbin that he had arrived, Wu Peifu was still motionless, his blood-filled eyes staring at the sand table map, as if looking for a gap in the Japanese defense line.

Wang Chengbin came to Wu Peifu, touched the soda on his face, and said, "Chief, I just received the news that the 33rd Division, the 37th Division and the 34th Division attacked the remnants of the Japanese Seventh Division in Kwun Tong, and the telegram said that the 7th Division had been wiped out. This battle was really not easy."

The battlefield in Shinyizhou was conquered forty days ago. After the Japanese 7th Division broke through, it retreated all the way south. The 33rd Division and the 37th Division chased and fought fiercely. The fire broke out intermittently along the way, and the Japanese 7th Division continued to lose money. It is said that the ambush in Kwun Tong was in preparation ten days ago. The 33rd Division and the 37th Division deliberately forced the Japanese army to retreat towards Kwun Tong, while the 34th Division set up an ambush here in advance.

Wu Peifu said "Yeah" in a low voice and asked in a slight way: "How is the fight?"

Wang Chengbin said: "The remnants of the Japanese Seventh Division are still very fierce, with only more than 3,000 people left. They fought in Kwun Tong for five days and almost made them break out. Fortunately, the main force of the 34th Division blocked the gap in time and asked the 7th Division to explain it completely there."

Wu Peifu nodded slowly and said meaningfully: "I have to say that Japan is a very terrible nation, not only cruel, but also strong. Alas, our Huishan side is a shame. At this time, there is no progress at all. How should I explain it to the Commander?"

As early as the Beiyang government, Wang Chengbin was a member of the direct line, so he naturally had to look to Wu Peifu at this time. He immediately said: "The chief officer does not have to worry. Since there is no blame or urgency above, it can be seen that the chief officer will still give the chief officer a step. In any case, Huishan is in danger and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Unlike Xinyizhou, if you just cross the small hills on the bank of the Yalu River, you will be open plains. No matter what, the overall situation of the Korean War is in control, as long as we can afford it, Huishan will be defeated sooner or later without attacking."

Wu Peifu shook his head without comment and said sighingly: "Although that said, North Korea will not defeat it for a day, and the overall situation will not be decided for a day. We can't think that the delay in Huishan has affected the deployment of the entire battle situation."

Wang Chengbin said comfortingly: "Master, at least we have the initiative now. If we forcefully launch an attack, it will only increase casualties. Why not continue to siege and not attack, and simply trap the Japanese in Huishan."

Wu Peifu pondered for a moment. During this period, he had been struggling with whether to launch a large-scale attack. Some small-scale attacks before were indeed unsatisfactory. The terrain of Huishan was too tricky, which was really not conducive to launching a strong attack from below. Although the 38th and 36th Divisions have been replenishing their strength outside Huishan for a long time, and launching a large-scale attack may have the opportunity to break through the enemy's defense line, the expected casualties will also be very heavy, which is not a good deal.

After hearing Wang Chengbin's words, it was obvious that the other party was also worried about the meaningless casualties caused by large-scale strong attacks, which made Wu Peifu even more hesitant.

He didn't know how long the 17th Division could last in Huishan. The longer the Japanese could hold on, the greater the influence on their politics. Now is not the time to be more patient.

At this moment, an adjutant of staff ran out of the communication room and came directly to Wu Peifu and said, "The chief officer, Fengtian called, and the commander-in-chief decided to carry out the 'Yugong Operation'. The two regiments of the Second Air Cavalry Brigade had already assembled in Fengtian. This is the plan for the Yugong Operation." After he said that, he handed a document to Wu Peifu.

Wu Peifu knew that the Second Air Cavalry Brigade had just completed training in early January and was not even equipped with an exclusive air crew, which means that the vehicle of this air team can only be borrowed from the Air Cavalry Brigade's air crew regiment. As for "Operation Yugong", it was the first time I heard that it should be a new set of special operations released by the Commander.

He took the document and read it carefully. The commander's meaning was to use the Second Air Cavalry Brigade to airdrop to the suburbs of Huishan, and cooperate with the 36th and 38th Divisions to fight an inside-out battle. At that time, the Second Air Cavalry Brigade will destroy the defense line in the suburbs of Huishan and respond to the army's attack into the city, thereby tearing open the gap in the defense line of Huishan.

"This is a good idea." After thinking carefully, Wu Peifu nodded and said.

"It's another joint operation of land and air." Wang Chengbin took over the action plan from Wu Peifu and said with a sigh.

"The great success of the Market Garden Operation has fully proved the advantages of joint combat between multiple armies. Since Huishan is difficult to attack from the outside, he can only find ways to destroy it from the inside out. Using the airborne troops to tear open the internal gap, and then cooperate with the outside army to cooperate with the outside. I believe that the 17th Division will be seriously injured." Wu Peifu said deeply.

"That's right, and the Japanese are now depressed and lacking air defense equipment. Our airborne troops will definitely be able to catch them off guard." Wang Chengbin said in agreement.

"This is a very critical point, morale and equipment, I believe this airborne is almost certain." Wu Peifu said confidently.
