1949 I am from the future

422 The Fall of Seoul

If the military is an extension of politics, then diplomacy is the most important auxiliary means of military and politics.

Seeing the successful landing in Incheon, the Western media, especially the American ones, were jubilant. As the strange Asian place names in the newspapers were continuously conquered, and the war reports kept adding a few small places with hard-to-pronounce pronunciations, the entire United States was filled with excitement. ground atmosphere.

On August 8, just before the Incheon landing, the foreign ministers of the United States, Britain and France held a meeting in New York. The meeting lasted until August 12. Acheson made a speech at the meeting, explaining to the allies of the United States that they had fought against the 8th parallel. importance.

"Gentlemen, here is another Greece!"

With a confident smile, Acheson slowly glanced at the British and French representatives.

"Stalin didn't say a word; Gromyko was threatening; the Chinese were shouting angrily; Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Malik told the reporter who asked him whether the Soviet Union would send troops to intervene that "the chance has not come."

"No chance" gentlemen!

Even after we have successfully landed in Incheon and cut off Kim Il Sung and his army to die in South Korea! "

Speaking of this, Acheson raised his mustache humorously, and British Foreign Minister Bevin also laughed.

Acheson bowed slightly, and encouraged French Foreign Minister Schuman:

"Yes, yes gentlemen, they are afraid.

If I remember correctly, Napoleon said "no chance, this is really the best pronoun for the weak."

Everything that is happening now is because they are powerless to deal with the situation in North Korea. Under the powerful offensive of multinational forces, they can only accept the fact that there will be only one North Korea in the world from now on! "

Acheson speeded up his speech: "The Soviet Union was not prepared at all, crossing the Siberian steppes, fighting a war in the Far East and the free world, China has so far been less than declaring the establishment of their ridiculous Russian puppet regime one year.

Gentlemen!We have to cross the [-]th parallel, yes, we have to cross the [-]th parallel and stand on the side of Manchukuo, this is worthy of the military expenses we paid and the soldiers who died.

China's attempts to deny the loans they owe to the syndicate of banks in various countries will not work!They promised to open the market, but it's not enough, gentlemen, it's not enough! "

British Foreign Secretary Bevin nodded and said: "I agree with this formulation, North and South Korea can no longer be divided now."

French Foreign Minister Schuman nodded heavily: "Yes! It's time for the Chinese to pay for their stupidity on the Indochina Peninsula!"

........................

The meeting ended successfully, and the United States got the "consensus" he wanted.

The focus of the Western allies was all on MacArthur.

Truman and Acheson knew that at this moment they must unreservedly support MacArthur who was struggling eastward in Incheon.

By sea, a large amount of supplies and soldiers were continuously unloaded from the Incheon Wharf.

In the air, more than 54 transport aircraft from the c-70 transport aircraft brigade in Tachikawa City, Tokyo, continuously airdropped on Almond's Tenth Army.Of course, the temporary airport in Incheon is also under emergency repair, but the temporary airport is obviously unable to complete the support for the c-54 Airmaster transport aircraft. The busan k-54 airport, which was ravaged by the c-1 before, has been hit by the c-54 many times. The runway was damaged due to landing, and the airport had to be closed several times for emergency repairs.

This forced the U.S. military to transfer a large number of C-47 transport aircraft with extremely low runway requirements, that is, DC-3, the master version of the Li-2 transport aircraft, to cooperate with the temporary airport runway that is about to be completed in the Incheon area.

With the support of ample logistical personnel and supplies, General Almond ordered the Tenth Army to do whatever it takes, vowing to wipe out the People's Army that was standing firm in Seoul.

........................

Next to a three-story building that was bombed down in Seoul, an infantry squad of the [-]st Battalion and [-]nd Company of the [-]nd Marine Regiment of the [-]st Marine Division was carrying out the mission of clearing up.

The squad leader, Second Lieutenant Hans, didn't dare to poke his head. He leaned against the wall and shouted at the entrance of the corridor: "Buck! Buck! Can you hear me? Buck!...Damn it!"

Second Lieutenant Hans knew that the comrades who rushed in just now must have died in the burst of gunfire just now.

He turned his head angrily and shouted to his subordinates, "Damn it! Call the flamethrower team up! Steve! Steve! Burn it to me! Burn these bastard yellow pigs to death!"

Steve is the flamethrower operator of the flamethrowing team in the infantry squad. He partners with Peter, a teammate with an m3 submachine gun, to form a two-person flamethrowing team.

Peter stretched out a hand at the entrance of the corridor with a submachine gun in his hand, and swiped wildly without even looking at it.Then Steve rushed to the door, with his legs spread apart, using a flamethrower that was still dripping with burning gasoline, and immediately sprayed a dragon of gasoline mixed with viscous agent towards the corridor.

All of a sudden, flames filled the entire building, black smoke came out of the upstairs windows, and shattered glass crackled and scattered from the roof, hitting the helmets of the American soldiers.There was a horrible scream from inside the building.

"Fire team! Go, go, go!"

Following the order of Second Lieutenant Hans, three soldiers in the infantry squad with M3 submachine guns rushed into the corridor that had just been scorched by flames together with Hans.Behind him, American soldiers with Garand semi-automatic rifles followed suit.There were bursts of m3 machine guns in the building, and English shouts and curses were in chaos.

"Clean!"

Second Lieutenant Hans breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned against the wall to take off his helmet. The hot weather in September on the Korean Peninsula had already soaked his red hair.

........................

This kind of battle for buildings is still being staged, but more often, the artillery fire of the US military destroys all standing buildings as if they don't want money.

It has become an unwritten rule in the U.S. military that someone doesn't shoot first.

The f4u pirates that have taken over the sky are dancing over Seoul like locusts.

They used napalm bombs to slaughter the streets, iron bombs to destroy buildings, and low-altitude dives to use rockets to hit the windows of buildings with precision.The People's Army kept losing ground under such powerful firepower.

As the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers successfully built a pontoon bridge, the vanguard of the tanks crossed the Han River. Then, with the cooperation of small boats and landing craft, the infantry crossed the Han River one after another. At this time, the northern bank of the Han River, which had been basically bombed into white ground, established a position.

The People's Army's control over the urban area of ​​Seoul has existed in name only at this time.

More than half of the ten militia divisions and one infantry division in the hands of deputy commander Cui Yongjian have been lost, and the rest have been scattered in various mountain fortifications, basically withdrawing from the defense of the city.

Cui Yongjian's headquarters also had to retreat northward.

After all, compared with Stalingrad, Seoul is too small in scale, the houses are too low, and there are only a few sewer systems. Not as good as the Soviet army at that time.

Finally, on September 9, General Almond informed MacArthur against his will that "Seoul has basically been occupied."

This happened to be the end of the five-day deadline set by MacArthur.

Supervision Although sporadic gunfire still rang out in Seoul, the resistance of the People's Army had not yet completely ended, MacArthur could not wait to get off the boat, and drove Rhee to Seoul with extreme excitement.

Under the strict armed guard of a large number of marines, MacArthur and Syngman Rhee came to the capital building that was bombed to the point where only the load-bearing frame remained.

The U.S. military set up a temporary platform in front of the building, and brought all the South Korean "citizens" that could be found in the city here, sat on the ground, and waited for Syngman Rhee's "recovery speech."

A little boy was sitting on the concrete floor in front of the building, looking at the bullet-holed, dilapidated and blackened frame of the building behind the temporary podium, chewing gum issued by the US military, looked up to his mother and asked, "Mom, when can we have our meal?"

"Son, wait a little longer, when the big man finishes speaking, he will send us American bread."

The child looked in horror at the building where corpses were still being carried out, closed his eyes, and focused his thoughts on the bread he would get in a while.

When MacArthur and Rhee arrived, the ceremony officially began.

Facing the refugees in the audience, MacArthur spoke first.

"Under the grace of God, our troops fighting under the flag of the American Stars and Stripes, the greatest symbol of hope and sustenance for mankind, have liberated the ancient capital of North Korea."

As soon as this remark came out, the U.S. troops in the audience whistled chaotically, laughing with joy.

After flattering the soldiers, MacArthur asked everyone present to recite the Lord's Prayer with him.

After a random mix of Korean and English, no matter whether you can memorize it or not, you are all confused.

After MacArthur finished the endorsement, he became even more excited.

He glanced at Syngman Rhee beside him, and said loudly to the American soldiers and Seoul refugees below: "Mr. President, on behalf of the US government, I am happy to return the capital of your country to you..."

After listening to MacArthur's foot wrap-like writing, Syngman Rhee was so moved that he couldn't make a sound. While wiping his tears, he grinned widely, bared his teeth, hugged MacArthur's sleeve and shouted: "General MacArthur ! We Korean people admire you! We will love you as the savior of the nation!"

After finishing speaking, he let go of his hands clinging to MacArthur's sleeves, raised his fist into the sky and said, "Onboard! MacArthur! Onboard! America!"

The disheveled refugees in the audience were also inexplicably arguing at this moment, following Syngman Rhee, yelling chaotically.

Probably because the sound was too loud, a piece of glass that had been crumbling from the capital building behind the podium fell and smashed to pieces on the ground behind the podium, making Syngman Lee shrink back in fright...

........................

After the capital return ceremony, the newly formed South Korean troops transported from Busan formed a "security regiment" and began to manage the people in Seoul.

These soldiers, mainly composed of hooligans, reactionary landlords, officers and soldiers of the Puppet Manchukuo, and officers and soldiers raped by the Japanese during the Japanese occupation, are violent gangs. Every corner of the city is now staged robbery, murder, and rape. Citizens who had cooperated with the People's Army, regardless of age, were massacred and their property was confiscated. Women were raped and executed.

More than 600 tram workers in Seoul had their limbs nailed to erected wooden boards because they had welcomed the People's Army into the city, and they were stabbed to death with bayonets for public display.

Prisons, police stations, movie theaters, and churches in Seoul are already filled with all kinds of "red bandit" prisoners, and when they can't fit, they are locked up in temporary buildings.The 24-hour screams in the prison were loud, and as many as [-] to [-] people were tortured to death every day, and their bodies were dragged away by trucks and thrown into the Han River.

The revolutionary elements among the land-distributed peasants in the countryside around Seoul were massacred openly and brutally.

Eyes were first gouged out, tongues were cut off, noses were cut off, and women also had to cut their breasts. The masses were frightened and trembling by the "human sticks" cruelly concocted by the "security regiment" rolling in the mud. Dare to speak.

In order to provide "logistics" for the U.S. military, Syngman Rhee's security regiment arrested [-] women at a time and sent them to condolences.

........................

Dark clouds hang over Seoul,

The devil is raging here,

Humanity and conscience become a joke here,

The wheel of time of the Korean nation has returned to the barbaric Japanese occupation period,

The second hand of the advancement of human civilization began to reverse in Seoul.

The domestic media in the United States are overwhelming, full of praises for MacArthur's bravery.

MacArthur was made into a hero in the eyes of Americans at the moment.

Syngman Lee screamed wildly when he was interviewed by reporters:

"We must advance to the Manchurian frontier!

Until there is not a single enemy soldier in our country!We will not stand still! "

Senate Republican Whip William Nolan shouted: "If you don't chase and beat the North Koreans, you are appeasing the Communist Party members! Resolutely destroy this satellite country of the Labor Party!"

at this time,

Truman ordered,

Authorized MacArthur,

Cross the [-]th parallel!
