#Episode 134 If you get hit by an old man’s gun, won’t you die?

“What kind of troops is Zhukov really gathering in Moscow? “What on earth are you going to do by dragging old men along?”

Choi Chung-heon, commander of the 2nd Field Army, asked as if he were pitiful.

“It’s a bit absurd, but it’s not something you can’t understand. “If the National Guard is broken, we will have to do something diplomatic or whatever to buy time somehow.”

“Actually, in the current situation, wouldn’t it be normal for diplomatic contact to come early? Well, how much will you give me, so let’s just eat that and stop?”

“The Russians are not normal. I briefly heard from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and he said they just told us to get out of their land. “The UN is also causing an uproar.”

“Are they really crazy? “What kind of bullshit are you talking about when the United Nations is controlled by the United States, us, the United Kingdom, and other allied powers, and they invaded it themselves?”

“Something tells me it might be because of past experience.”

“Past experience?”

“Napoleon once occupied Moscow, but was eventually defeated and withdrew. Not long ago, Germany also advanced as far as the Kremlin can be seen through binoculars, but eventually retreated, right?”

“crazy! Is it the same now as it was then? Moreover, a long time has passed since the Patriotic War of 1812 and the recent Great Patriotic War, but how long has it been since the German-Japanese War ended? It’s only been 4 years, 4 years since we fought a war that killed at least 20 million and up to 27 million people! And now we are practically surrounded by enemies on both sides?”

As Choi Chung-heon said, there was a rear during the German-Soviet War.

There was an enemy called Japan to the east, but at that time Japan was not moving and was too far away.

So, they could have survived by moving their production facilities to the east of the Ural Mountains, but that is not the case at all now.

The entire eastern part of the Soviet Union was already in the hands of the Republic of Korea, so it was difficult to expect supply from the munitions factories that had been moved to the east of the Ural Mountains due to the German-German War.

As a result, troops could only be recruited from the western area around Moscow, so it would not be possible to attract more troops.

In addition, the West is also acting as if the Walter Model will attack at any moment due to the South Korean government’s trick, so it is not possible to withdraw any more troops.

In a word, it’s a disaster.

However, it is absurd that the Soviets are holding on while recalling the past.

“These guys are far from common sense. And, if things get tight, they’re probably thinking about bringing in troops from the western border.”

“Abandoning the western border? “If the border troops leave, they might really be able to push in, right?”

“There is a sword under the head, so what can’t they do?”

“… … .”

That’s right.

“Anyway, the situation is like this. Accordingly, the Joint Chiefs of Staff decided that the 1st National Guard would be handled by our 1st Field Army and 5th Field Army, and that the 2nd National Guard Army would be handled by the 2nd Field Army and 3rd Field Army. The general offensive begins at 05:00 tomorrow, April 28th.”

“Ugh! This is going to be a lot of blood. The blood of mostly unarmed old men… … .”

“… … .”

Everyone shook their heads as if they agreed with Choi Chung-heon’s words.

Even the elite Far East Army was no match for them, and it was as obvious as fire that a hastily constructed unit made up of reserve forces would not be a match for them.

I felt uneasy because it felt like a one-sided massacre.

-This war is a war that was started by the Soviet Union. Don’t forget that!

Suddenly, a familiar voice came out of the speaker, and Lee Kang-cheol and Ko Seok-man appeared on the screen.

“Oh! President! insect… … .”

-it’s okay! I tried to just listen, but I felt like I needed to say something, so I stepped forward. As I just said, this war was started by the Soviet Union. Well, we may have intentionally offended the Soviets, but we cannot deny that the war was basically started by the greed of the Soviets.

“… … .”

-Fortunately, we had the strength to stop the invasion and come this far. But what if we had no power? What if Manchuria was given up due to lack of strength, and even the Korean Peninsula was engulfed in the devastation of war?

“… … .”

―Think about what happened in the Soviet-occupied territories in original history. In Germany, it is said that 90% of women aged 12 to 80 in Soviet-occupied areas were raped. Would you be happy if it was just rape? Numerous women were mass raped and then murdered with their limbs cut off. So, the procession of escapes to the Allied Occupation area, which was relatively young, continued. Well, isn’t it true that the number of abortions exceeded 2 million? The wife of the famous German Chancellor Helmut Kohl was caught while fleeing with her mother to Allied-occupied territory at the age of only 12, was raped on the spot and thrown out of her window, and later committed suicide, suffering from that trauma for the rest of her life. It was like that, right?

“omg… … .”

-No matter how much it is karma for what the Germans did, this is not it.

“… … .”

-that’s right. It’s not a very pleasant experience for a soldier to deal with an army full of helpless old men. But it was Stalin and the leaders who pushed it like that. A normal country, if pushed into a situation like this, would propose negotiations. I’m sorry, we were wrong, so we will compensate you and give you some territory, so let’s stop now. It’s normal for it to come out like this.

“… … .”

-But they are still just saying bullshit about stopping the invasion and leaving their territory. What are all these bastards?

“Huh… … .”

Lee Kang-cheol seemed to be so excited while talking that he even made double sounds.

-Anyway, that’s the case. It seems like everyone has relaxed because this war is resolved so easily, but this is war, war! It’s a war that puts the fate of the nation at stake! This is a war in which, if we had lost, our wives, our sisters, and our daughters would have suffered horrendous and terrible things!

“… … .”

-gaffer? If you get hit by an old man’s gun, won’t you die? The bullets that the old man shoots come and go like their urine feet? Why are they doing this? The opponent is the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union! The Russia that Napoleon managed to drive out even though Moscow was occupied and plundered! The Soviet Union, which eventually drove out the German army even though it killed at least 20 million people! Will you come to your senses?

“sorry.”

“I was short-thinking.”

-It is not too late to think about mercy after the Soviets signed the surrender document. For now, let’s only think about complete victory. I’m such a selfish bastard that my kids are a million times more important. This means that one of our soldiers is more important than 10,000 Soviet bastards. But, is it okay for you, the highest commanders, to become this lax?

“… … .”

-ruler! This war is not far away. Until they officially surrender, let’s get all cheap sentiments out of our heads! Did you understand?

“Yes, Mr. President!”

-Yes, I know you are having a hard time. Let’s have a little more strength. Good luck!

“Yes, Mr. President!”

Lee Kang-cheol, who suddenly stormed in and stormed in, disappeared from the screen, but no one spoke.

After a while, Major General Lee Jong-cheol, Chief of Staff of the 1st Field Army, spoke quietly.

“Hey, Mr. President and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have left the channel.”

“Whoa!”

“ha!”

Only then did sighs come out from all over, and Nam Byeong-woo opened his mouth with a bitter smile.

“I forgot about this for a while.”

“What do you mean?”

“That guy’s personality. “After coming here and living side by side for so long, it seems we’ve forgotten what kind of person our daebang is.”

“Hehehe! That’s right.”

He was usually very down-to-earth and good at telling silly jokes, so sometimes there were people who looked down on Lee Kang-cheol, but every hundred of them regretted it later.

Although he was not involved in politics, Lee Kang-cheol was the first among his classmates at the military academy to be promoted to major general and become division commander.

No, there was no way the Korean government would appoint an ordinary person as the head of the expeditionary force in the first place.

He was extremely lenient in other things, but he was a person who rushed to the brigade and broke the earthenware pot after training without any hesitation.

So there was no way the field army commanders would like this.

“ruler! Did you hear what our captain said? “Let’s forget about words like mercy and compassion for the time being.”

“I understand, senior.”

“All right.”

05:00 on April 28, 1949.

Wooooow!

bang! bang! Quawang!

Large-scale air strikes by the Korean army began across all fronts of the Soviet National Guard.

The Soviet air force had long since disappeared from the sky.

The remaining fighter jets were directed to the rear of Moscow, because it was obvious that they would be shot down if they were launched anyway.

So the Korean Air Force has no choice but to move around the sky as if it were their own world.

Ssssssssssssssssss!

Occasionally, jet fighters also joined in and delivered one big blow at a time.

Kwaaaaang!

Every time a 500-pound bomb hit a major target, the earth shook, and when they felt like starting a fire, they didn’t forget to drop napalm.

“Whoa! “This is Won, miserable.”

“… … .”

Marshal Rokossovsky, commander of the 1st National Guard, sighed.

I had never felt so helpless since I became a soldier, but there was still nothing I could do.

It just endures silently underground.

“After the air raid, there will be artillery bombardment, right?”

“maybe… … .”

“I received word that Marshal Konev is also suffering.”

“I guess so. “Because they are trying to take our breath away.”

“How long can I last?”

“As short as 3 days, as long as 5 days.”

“That fast? “Isn’t that too pessimistic?”

“I rather said it with a hint of hope.”

“… … .”

Chief of Staff Pavel Batov remained silent.

This is because he himself felt that what Rokossovsky said was correct.

The air raids, which seemed endless, stopped only when morning came.

And gunfire heard from afar.

bang! bang! bang! bang!

“Now the real thing begins.”

“shit!”

Quang! Coooooo! bang! bang!

“Keuuu!”

“Gagging! what? “You’re flying all the way here?”

The 1st National Guard headquarters was hit by the first artillery bombardment.

Fortunately, it was built so solidly underground that there was no time, so there was no direct damage, but it felt like my internal organs and six parts were turned over by the impact.

Amidst that shock, there was an even more shocking fact.

The 1st National Guard headquarters was located more than 30km away from the front line in consideration of the Korean Army’s long-range howitzers.

But being bombarded all the way here?

“What kind of howitzers do the Koreans have?”

“Nonsense! “This is absolutely ridiculous!”

Rokossovsky, who was rarely surprised, was surprised, and Batov also looked at Rokossovsky in surprise.

“Our front line and the Korean army’s front line were separated by almost 15km! “Our headquarters is 30km away from our front line!”

“Well, then almost 45km? oh my god!”

They didn’t know.

The K315 high explosive bomb brought from the future by the expeditionary force was first used in war.

The K315 HE-RAP bullet uses both the drag reduction (BB. Base Bleed) and rocket assisted propulsion (RAP. Rocket Assisted Projectile) methods, compared to the typical range extension projectile that uses either the drag reduction (BB. Base Bleed) or Rocket Assisted Projectile (RAP) method. This projectile has a range of up to 54 km when fired.

Because it used a ballistic crystal fuse at such a monstrous range, its accuracy was excellent.

In short, it was a new type of bullet even in the future, and it is surprising that such a monster was used in 1949.
