Chapter 6: The Korean War Breaks Out


Double Happiness upgraded to become a father.

He is the latest among his subordinates to have a son.

Others like Chen Shou and Gai Longquan have already become grandfathers.

Chen Zikun is also fifty years old.

The eldest son Chen Bei is thirty years old and is an older male.

Now, When the world is at peace, it’s time to consider having grandchildren.

Although Chen Bei is lame, he is still a cadre of the People's Air Force and earns a monthly salary of several hundred kilograms of millet.

More importantly, he is the son of the provincial chairman Chen Zikun.

If he climbs this high branch, his whole family will not have to worry about food and drink, so Chen Bei It is actually not difficult to find a wife, but the difficulty lies in finding someone who is both well-matched and good-looking.

There were not many women of the right age in the official circle of Jiangdong, and Chen Bei's reputation as a playboy was so great that even those who knew him would not dare to marry him.

Children of revolutionary cadre families and young female cadres of the military and government agencies belonged to another social circle and had no contact with them. arrive.

Once, Xia Xiaoqing said half-jokingly: "If it weren't for Liu Ting's relationship, I think his aunt would be a suitable candidate."

Chen Zikun said that this would definitely not work, as it would mess up the etiquette, but he could ask Liu Yu to help introduce some female classmates from Jiang University, generally those from scholarly families would be fine.

While his parents were worried and laborious, Chen Bei was at ease.

After being fitted with a prosthetic leg made of aviation aluminum alloy, his confidence returned.

On this day off, he drove a jeep to Liu Cunren's house to play with his aunt Liu Yu.

It was an unfortunate coincidence that the old Liu family was greeting guests.

A young man wearing glasses was sitting at the table neatly.

He had two pens in the breast pocket of his blue tunic suit and his eyes were clear and slightly shy.

Liu Yu sat next to her, feeling a little happy and a little shy.

Liu Cunren's hair was all white, he was still wearing a long gown, and he looked at the boyfriend whom his little daughter brought home with a smile.

Chen Bei's sudden appearance surprised everyone.

Liu Cunren smiled generously and said, you young people, let's talk.

Then he entered the back room.

His wife came out with a teapot and was pulled in by him.

The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.

Liu Yu introduced: "This is Zhang Guangyin, the editor of the newspaper, and this is Chen Bei, an instructor at the Air Force Aviation School."

Zhang Guangyin took the initiative to reach out and said: "I am her classmate in the Chinese Department of Jiangnan University.

I heard Liu Yu told your story."

Chen Bei shook hands with him, sat down naturally, and chatted casually.

Finally, Liu Yu suddenly said: "On Labor Day next month, Zhang Guangyin and I will get married.

Will you come then?"

Chen Bei smiled and said: "Great, I will definitely come.

If you need any help, just say hello.

I have a car here."

Zhang Guangyin and Liu Yu expressed their thanks together.

Chen Beidao: "You are discussing the wedding.

I really don't care, so I won't disturb you anymore.

I'll leave first."

He stood up and left.

Although he was walking more neatly, he could still see the steps of one leg.

Unnatural.

Suddenly, Liu Yu's eye circles turned red, and she whispered to Zhang Guangyin that I would go out to see him off.

He walked out quickly.

The yard was quiet, and the gardenias were blooming, and there was a faint fragrance.

I'm sorry," Liu Yu said.

Chen Bei stopped, turned around slowly, and smiled brightly: "Auntie, what are you talking about?

I wish you and Xiao Zhang the best."

On the day of the wedding, Chen Bei really came and gave him a big red envelope.

The ceremony was held in the Provincial Party Committee Auditorium.

Instead of a banquet, he bought some peanuts and melon seed candies, cut a big Double Happiness sign, and hung up a few red lanterns.

Simple yet full of joy.

Halfway through the wedding, the arrival of a heavyweight guest surprised everyone.

Amid warm applause, Zheng Zeru, the first secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, walked into the auditorium, cordially shook hands with the newlyweds, and wished them smooth sailing on the road to marriage.

We must also move forward unswervingly on the road of revolution.

We have only been married for three days.

Secretary Zheng has always been approachable.

Today, he is even closer to the masses.

Someone boldly asked: "Secretary Zheng, when will you get married?"

As we all know, Secretary Zheng has delayed his personal issues for revolutionary work.

He is still unmarried at a very old age and still lives alone in a single dormitory.

Zheng Zeru smiled and answered everyone: "Thank you for your concern.

I have become accustomed to living alone over the years, so I won't look for him anymore."

Everyone was in awe.

Secretary Zheng was still at the highest level, unreachable by ordinary people.

He sacrificed personal and family happiness for the revolutionary work, and selflessly dedicated his entire life to the party and the country.

What a great sentiment this is.

Zheng Zeru gave the couple a notebook and two pens, and was invited to be a witness.

The wedding was a success and a success.

After Labor Day, Chen Bei became even more taciturn.

When his family asked him to introduce someone to him, he said that Secretary Zheng didn't even get married.

I'm only thirty, so what's the rush?

One and a half months later, the Korean War broke out.

Newspapers said that South Korea aggressively attacked North Korea with the support of U.S. imperialism, but was defeated by the heroic North Korean People's Army.

It fought back and crossed the 38th Parallel, and pursued the victory with consecutive battles and victories.

The capture of Seoul almost drove the American imperialists and their South Korean lackeys into the sea.

The Korean War immediately attracted Chen Zikun's attention.

He had a seven-lamp shortwave radio at home that could listen to broadcasts from all over the world.

Since the beginning of the war, he listened to BBC and AP broadcasts every night to pay attention to the situation on the peninsula.

The guests of Chen Mansion came again in large numbers, and everyone had a keen sense of politics.

After the end of World War II, the Korean Peninsula was divided between the Soviet Union and the United States.

The north was a pro-Soviet regime, and the south was a pro-American regime.

They were eyeing each other and wanted to annex each other. , now that the war has finally broken out, it is still unclear whether it will trigger a direct confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States, and then develop into the Third World War.

In mid-September, the U.S. military, under the command of MacArthur, landed at Inchon in central Korea, cutting off the retreat of the People's Army heading south.

The North Korean army quickly collapsed and the war situation reversed dramatically.

The U.S. military swept across northern Korea and reached the Yalu River line.

U.S. fighter jets They harassed our border cities several times, bombed and strafed them with reckless abandon.

At the same time, the US Navy's Seventh Fleet entered the Taiwan Strait and threatened to defend Taiwan.

The People's Liberation Army's naval and air forces were still very weak, and the campaign to cross the Taiwan Strait had to be suspended.

The dark clouds of war are gathering.

The U.S. military has arrived at our doorstep.

Moreover, the Northeast is China's heavy industry base and large granary.

The Chinese people finally managed to defeat Chiang Kai-shek's bandit army.

The U.S. imperialism has come back again and attempts to enslave the Chinese people.

It is simply intolerable. , for a time the whole country was excited and gearing up to go to war with the US imperialism.

One night, a rapid ringtone rang from the official residence on Fenglin Road.

It was a long-distance call from Beijing.

Chen Zikun was urgently called to Beijing.

Chen Zikun set off overnight and took a special plane to Beijing.

There was a special car waiting at Nanyuan Airport.

After the people arrived, Drive non-stop to the General Staff Headquarters.

The General Staff office was brightly lit and tight on the outside.

Chen Zikun, as one of the few people in the country who had a good understanding of the US military's tactics and logistics, was urgently summoned to provide advice to the national leaders in their decision-making.

Chen Zikun wrote a eloquent report of several thousand words on the plane, giving a detailed introduction to the military strength of the United States, and also analyzed MacArthur himself.

This report was submitted to Zhongnanhai, and he faced a group of senior staff officers Face-to-face questions and answers.

The senior staff officers of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters are all soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles.

They have fought against the Japanese and Chiang Kai-shek's bandits, but they have never fought against the American devils.

Each of them is holding a notebook and a pen and sitting in a small room.

Listen to Chen Zikun's speech in the conference room.

"I came in a hurry, and the preparation was not very detailed.

I will look at it from two aspects, one is weapons, and the other is people.

The United States is the most developed capitalist country and is extremely rich in materials.

The factories across the country are operating at full capacity and can supply three thousand Tens of thousands of troops, from planes, tanks, cars and artillery, to military uniforms, boots, canned dry food, and even chewing gum and condoms."

Chen Zikun talked eloquently, and there was a chuckle below.

"Chairman Chen, we all know what you are saying.

The Kuomintang army has a full set of American equipment, drives a Dodge ten-wheeler, holds a carbine, drinks Coca-Cola and eats canned ham, but it has not been wiped out by us."

A staff officer said, everyone They all agreed.

Chen Zikun smiled: "Even the most elite Kuomintang army cannot meet the standards of ordinary U.S.

Army divisions.

First of all, the logistics cannot keep up.

Who knows how much ammunition a standard U.S.

Army division can project in a salvo."

No one answered.

"The Japanese Class A division can project ten tons of ammunition in one salvo.

The Kuomintang's elite reorganized divisions cannot yet meet this standard, while the U.S.

Army division can fire fifty tons of ammunition in one salvo.

That's not even counting."

With the support of the Army Aviation and Navy naval artillery, the U.S. military puts firepower first and controls the air.

It will first bomb you ten times, then use heavy artillery groups to bombard you, and finally let the tanks attack.

The opponent often doesn't even have the enemy's face.

I was crippled when I saw it.”

There was silence below, and the staff frowned deeply.

"General Chen, the information you provided is very helpful, but we believe that war relies on people, not weapons.

No matter how powerful the weapon is, it must be operated by someone.

An enemy who is greedy for life and afraid of death will not be able to give him powerful tanks and artillery."

It's useless.

We have verified this during the Liberation War.

In the battle to liberate Jinan, one soldier captured a regiment of enemies.

"It was the young staff officer who just put forward his own unique opinion.

Chen Zikun said: "You are right.

This is also the second aspect I want to talk about below.

Generally speaking, the national character of the United States is rough and unrestrained.

In the early days of western pioneering, women and children also took up guns to fight against the Indians."

People, U.S. soldiers though They are greedy for life and afraid of death, and have a glib tone, but they have good basic qualities.

Everyone is literate and can operate machinery, and they dare to risk their lives even when they are stupid.

During the Pacific War, the U.S.

Marine Corps and the Japanese army fought bloody battles on Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal, with high casualty rates.

It’s extremely high” The staff officers recorded in their notebooks that those who can work in the General Staff are naturally not ordinary people.

It is okay to despise the enemy strategically, but they must not turn a blind eye to the enemy's advantages.

Chen Zikun continued to explain the tactical characteristics of the US military.

Suddenly, the door of the small conference room was lightly knocked, and an officer came in and whispered: "General Chen, the chairman wants to see you
