Taipei.

"When the First Corps was deployed, a considerable number of mobile troops were reserved as a reserve force. We should mobilize them to counterattack as soon as possible."

William Childs looked at the current positions of the 1st and 2nd Corps in the Ministry of National Defense. He found that although most of the 3nd Division of the [-]st Army was wiped out in the tactical counterattack in the morning, from Taichung to Tainan, the national army It is still possible to draw [-] divisions to attack the beachhead that has been lost.

"In Taichung City, the 2nd Army of the 1st Corps only used one division to defend the coastline, and the 4th and 5th Divisions were mobile forces deployed on the second line. The 1st Army from Chiayi to Tainan had two divisions in charge Coastline defense, 1 division maneuver... ignore the maneuver division, it almost doesn't exist anymore," William Childs said, "The 3rd Army from Tainan to Kaohsiung, like the 1st Army, two divisions were responsible for Coastline defense and 1 division maneuver. Therefore, we should use the 2th and 4th divisions of the 5nd Army and the 3th Division of the 7rd Army to attack from north to south. It is estimated that 2 to 3 Chinese troops will go ashore. Lacking heavy weapons, a successful counterattack by three divisions would end the campaign."

Guo Jiqiao was also looking at the map. He was silent for a long time, and then babbled: "Hu Boyu is a general! It's a pity that he died young..."

"General Hu Lian is a very talented soldier. But I feel sorry for General Wang Shuming even more."

Guo Jiqiao is not the only military and political official who secretly colluded with the United States to overthrow Chiang.On the night of April 4, Wang Shuming, Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, also had a meeting in Chiang Kai-shek's camp.Zhou Zhirou and Hu Zongnan are loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, while Hu Lian has not made a statement yet.Ma Jizhuang, the commander-in-chief of the navy who was not in the battalion, also turned to the United States, and Li Yuxi, the deputy commander of the navy, was loyal to Chiang Kai-shek...but a deputy commander should not be too important.

"General Charles, I don't think the three divisions have a good chance of defeating the communist army and regaining the beachhead. Can we wait until tomorrow morning when the 4th Army goes south from Hsinchu to join the 2th and 4th Divisions of the 5nd Army before attacking together?"

"Tomorrow morning, you will not be facing 34 Chinese troops," William Childs said. "You have also seen the aerial reconnaissance report today. The Chinese are building a simple artificial pier on the beach. If it is estimated Yes, tomorrow morning there will be T-85-[-] and heavy artillery in their army."

Guo Jiqiao: "However, if we launch a counterattack in the afternoon and fail to succeed, instead of destroying two or three divisions that participated in the attack, in the southern part of Taiwan Island, the Communist Army will be completely free, and they will expand their territory little by little. Destroy the troops guarding the coastline one by one."

Guo Jiqiao expressed his objection, and William Childs also frowned and fell into hesitation.

……

Everyone at the Beijing War Situation Center stayed up all night last night.After the successful beheading in the early morning, the successful landing in the morning, the opening of the beachhead, and the smooth start of the first phase of the battle, everyone will leave and go home.Li Kenong couldn't bear to retreat at 8 o'clock in the morning. At [-] o'clock in the morning, the chairman, commander-in-chief, and prime minister retreated, and Tang Hua also retreated.Nie Shuai and Xu Shuai arrived at the scene, and only Secretary Deng stayed in the all-night group of six.

"Anything on the nine o'clock radio station?"

Back home, Tang Hua asked the first sentence.

"The news at 06:30 didn't say anything, and there was no special news from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock." Zhou Xuan shook her head and said.

No wonder there was no abnormal reaction on the street on the way back.

"Today is Sunday, and everyone is at home. There may be big explosive news in a while. People listening to the radio will definitely not be able to sit still. They go out and yell, and then all the neighbors will be rhythmic. It is estimated that all the streets and alleys will be shaken at that time. Fantian..." Tang Hua kicked Tang Hancheng, who was running around, out of the bedroom, and closed the window tightly, "I need to catch up on sleep."

"Bravely pursue the poor bandits and kill the bandit leader Chiang Kai-shek, and cross the Taiwan Strait jointly by sea, land and air."

"Xinhua News Agency Taiwan Frontline, April [-]th. Our People's Liberation-Army launched the final attack on the remnants of Chiang Kai-shek's bandits in Taiwan on the night of the [-]th. In the early morning of April [-]th, the People's Liberation-Army Air Force A precise strike was carried out on Chiang Kai-shek's hiding place. The missiles launched by the bomber pierced through the Yang and took the enemy's head. Chiang Kai-shek, who had been a disaster for China for more than [-] years, was killed! Along with Chiang Kai-shek, there was also the staff of the puppet national army Commander-in-Chief Zhou Zhirou, Air Force Commander of the Puppet National Army Wang Shuming, and Army Commander of the Puppet National Army Hu Zongnan."

"The U.S. imperialists sent planes and warships to invade the Taiwan Strait to back up Chiang Kai-shek in an attempt to prevent our People's Liberation Army from attacking Taiwan. They were also duly punished. In the early morning of April 4, the The air force bomber unit and the naval missile speedboat unit counterattacked the US warships that illegally invaded the restricted navigation area of ​​the Taiwan Strait. One cruiser, two destroyers of the US Navy and two destroyers of the Guomindang Navy that invaded the strait were all wiped out. Our air force and navy Nothing to lose."

"In the early hours of the [-]th, the heroic People's Liberation Army Army and Marine Corps set off from Penghu and Xiamen, crossed the Taiwan Strait, and went straight to the opposite bank. The Taiwan Strait defense line that the Democratic Party reactionaries had been operating for two and a half years fell apart. In Taiwan On the ground, the People's Liberation Army is breaking through the enemy's positions with a destructive momentum and liberating vast areas. The People's Liberation Army is resolutely implementing Chairman Mao's Commander-in-Chief Zhu's order with its own heroic fighting!"

……

This broadcast is very informative.After two or three loops on the radio, most listeners finally understood what it meant.

Let me explain the background first. Less than 48 hours ago, to be precise, the afternoon before yesterday, the news of the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement was broadcast on the radio.Many people still remember the celebrations across the country that night.

Just one day later, the People's Liberation Army crossed the Taiwan Strait and landed on Taiwan Island to launch the final battle.

Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek was killed at the beginning of the battle? !

Not only killed Chiang Kai-shek, but also knocked down all American warships?

Oh yes, another good news.

calm down.People in this era are no strangers to all kinds of earth-shaking upheavals.Just 10 years ago, Tuba Road was still eating sweet potatoes on the Taihang Mountains, making hand grenades with earth and fighting devils desperately. Within a few years, they drove the United Nations Army to the south of Seoul.This generation has seen too many unbelievable things, especially after too many miraculous things happened in North Korea. stand up.But if you want to say that the people of the whole country are stupefied, that is not true.

"Hu Lian was not killed by the bombing last night. He appeared in Taichung this morning and is now in charge of his First Corps."

Xiamen pointing forward, Suyu heard the report from the intelligence department, shook his head and smiled, "This Hu Lian is fate."

Hu Lian escaped from Xianglin Mountain Villa. At first, he planned to return directly to Taipei, but he changed his mind on the way, stopped in Taichung, turned the road and returned to the headquarters of the First Corps on the north side of Taichung.However, Hu Lian has never been in touch with the temporary headquarters put together by Taipei Defense Minister Guo Jiqiao.

"No matter what, this time he will eventually fall into our hands." Zhang Zhen comforted Su Yu, "He escaped this time, and he will not be able to escape when we wiped out the First Corps. Even if he leaves the First Corps If the First Corps runs back to Taipei, it will also be shot and tied up, and it will still be sent to us in the end.”

Chapter 45, The Vagabond Republic Project

"On March 1953, 3, Chinese Ambassador Gu Weijun proposed to the President a request for the conclusion of the US-China Mutual Defense Treaty. This is the third time since 19. Mr. Secretary, please describe to me concisely that China proposes to sign What is the content of the treaty?"

Washington, U.S. Senate hearing.

The time is the afternoon of April 4 - 12:02 am ET.

Secretary of State John Foster Dulles flipped through the papers in his hands, trying to answer questions from congressmen.

"Mutual defense treaties are not all China's unilateral ideas. In fact, President Truman and Secretary of State Acheson have had quite a lot of contacts with China. ... Well, the first article, the United States and China use self-help and mutual assistance to maintain And develop their individual and collective capabilities to resist armed attacks and communist subversive activities directed by foreign countries that endanger their territorial integrity and political stability; The above-mentioned armed attack is about to endanger its own peace and security, and should be reported to the United Nations Security Council to take necessary measures to restore and maintain international peace and security; Article [-], China will agree to the United States in Taiwan Island and the areas adjacent to Taiwan Deploy the U.S. land, sea, and air forces needed to defend Taiwan; Fourth, the so-called "Republic of China" in this treaty shall refer to the island of Taiwan, and as far as the United States of America is concerned, it shall refer to the island territories under its jurisdiction in the Western Pacific region .”

"If I can sum it up in more succinct terms, it would be: Once this treaty is signed, the United States must send troops to Taiwan Island and its surrounding areas to ensure that the Republic of China regime on the island will not be swallowed up by Red China."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," a member of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee who weighed no less than 400 pounds interrupted Dulles' speech on the senator's seat, "why now, before this treaty is signed, the Taiwan Island and the Taiwan Strait Are there American soldiers?

"The one sent to Taiwan is MAAG, the American Military Assistance Advisory Group, which is an American military organization officially stationed in Taiwan, the Republic of China as a military advisor," Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, answered the 400-pound senator's question, "mark Including the Advisory Group Headquarters, the Army Advisory Group, the Navy Advisory Group, the Air Force Advisory Group, and the Joint Logistics Advisory Group, there is no organized combat force. ...Well, the Air Force Advisory Group has 20 to 30 jet fighters stationed in Taiwan. But it is used to train Chinese Air Force pilots."

"I heard that the Chinese army that landed on Taiwan Island was the one that destroyed the 24st Marine Division in the Battle of Changjin Lake, interspersed and divided the United Nations Army in the Battle of Lianchuan, and led to the complete annihilation of the [-]th Division?"

"The Chinese army at the Battle of Changjin Lake was the Ninth Army, and they were called the Ninth Corps." Bradley replied, "Yes, now our intelligence can conclude that the troops of the Ninth Corps have landed on the island of Taiwan. "

……

Twelve hours ago, fighting broke out in the Taiwan Strait.The senators don’t necessarily care about what happened on the island, but three US warships were beaten up in the Taiwan Strait and sank together with two destroyers of the Republic of China Navy. None of them survived until dawn. Guadalcanal is in its early stages—in Guadalcanal, the United States is facing the Japanese navy, which is the top three navies in the world, and this time it is in the Taiwan Strait—do the Chinese have decent warships?

"General Bradley," asked a senator with a bald head but a bushy beard and chin, "is this campaign by the Chinese army comparable to D-Day?"

"In terms of fleet size, it is far behind." Bradley said, "China has used almost all of their ships, but this is only equivalent to one-twentieth of the Allied fleet at the Normandy landing nine years ago. But in terms of the battle process, they are very similar. They are all 9 to 30 miles across the sea, and the defenders also made mistakes at the first time. But there is one aspect that the Chinese army has done better than the allied forces.”

"Which aspect?"

"If you want to use an analogy," Bradley paused before continuing to answer, "the performance of the Chinese army in the past day is equivalent to that on D-Day, when we killed Hitler in Wolf's Den, we also killed William Keitel, Hermann Göring, Heinz Guderian and Gerd von Rundstedt."

Beard: ...

400 lbs MP: ...

"Gentlemen, gentlemen," a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee stopped the audience's divergent thinking, "Now that the Chinese army has landed on the island of Taiwan, the area under their control is expanding every hour, and the defending ROC troops Casualties are increasing by four digits every hour. We must conclude discussions as soon as possible and have a policy for the United States to implement."

……

Taichung.

Hu Lian returned to the headquarters of the 1st Corps with his whole body wet, and the sight in front of him gave him a chill in his heart.
