#353. Please say no!

Yongtai County (Yongtai County), 50km southwest of Fuzhou.

The western part of Fuzhou is a mountainous area that has not been developed even in modern times, so it goes without saying that it was undeveloped at that time.

It was a place where people could live here and there, less than 200 meters above sea level to the south, but even these few residents were relocated to other areas with money provided by the government of the Republic of China about 10 years ago.

Because it was right here that the secret nuclear research institute under the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of China was established.

In this place that was protected by ironclad security, a dragon was approaching from the eastern sky.

It is a cruise missile named Cheonryong.

The Cheonryong cruise missile is based on the KEPD 350 Taurus missile.

It is therefore a fairly large, dual-purpose penetrating warhead with a warhead weighing 500 kg.

Therefore, it could penetrate reinforced concrete more than 6m, and in the case of general soil or rock, it had the performance to penetrate 30m and explode, like the GBU-28 bunker buster bomb.

Swish!

A total of 18 Cheonryong cruise missiles are flying towards Yeong Tae-hyun’s secret nuclear power research lab.

A total of three nuclear-powered attack submarines, including the SSN-903 Yun Bong-gil, fired six shots simultaneously from each.

Swoosh! Shoooosh!

The Tianlong missiles approached the research station at low altitudes, skimming the terrain at a terrifying speed of Mach 0.95, subsonic but close to the speed of sound.

And then, as soon as it reached the target, it started to plummet down.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Zhongshan Nuclear Research Institute, built underground by digging into the mountain ridge, was confident that it would be able to withstand any air raid.

However, as the 18 Heavenly Dragons equipped with penetrating warheads began to explode after penetrating through the rock and concrete, the underground research lab instantly became an inferno.

Researchers and soldiers were reduced to ashes without even being able to scream, and the impact caused the mountainside to collapse, destroying or burying all the nuclear bombs and research materials and equipment inside.

After a while, the guard stationed on the outskirts arrived.

“oh my god!”

There was nothing they could do.

11:30 a.m., July 8, 1966.

The mouth of the Minjang River in Bokju.

Kurrururur!

Ddddddd!

Nearly 200 LSTs and transport ships were constantly disgorging the ROK Marines, while aircraft carrier-based aircraft hovered overhead, providing cover for the landing force.

“Let me out! Quickly!”

“What are you doing there! Move the broken down vehicle aside!”

“Why is the transport ship coming this way! Send it to the port!”

The landing operation, which started at 6:00 a.m., proceeded smoothly.

The Republic of China defense forces defending the coast had already lost their fighting power due to bombardment by naval guns and air raids by carrier-based aircraft.

And the remaining troops trying to resist the landing force from the rear were inevitably attacked by F-1N and F-3N fighter-bombers flying overhead and raining down bombs.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

“Eww!”

“No more! Run away! Kkaaaak!”

Meanwhile, the LSTs were opening their mouths and spewing out tanks and troops, and the huge transport ships had already been captured by the UDT/SEAL units, the Navy’s special warfare unit, and were safely using the port facilities for administrative landings.

There were several ports at the mouth of the Minjang River, and the expeditionary fleet was able to exclude the ports from bombardment and air raids in order to use them for landing operations.

Of course, the citizens of the Republic of China at the port were happy that the South Koreans did not attack civilian facilities, but that did not mean they did not launch airstrikes.

Today’s landing operation mobilized a whopping 80,000 South Korean Marines.

For the operation, all Marines on the mainland were mobilized, as well as those stationed in Haenam and Noeju. To transport them, not only the transport ships owned by the Republic of Korea Navy but also those belonging to the US Pacific Fleet were mobilized as support, and when that wasn’t enough, even civilian cargo ships were mobilized.

“What about those who resist?”

Chief of Staff Kim Jong-woo, who was on the flagship, asked Chief of Staff Cho Woo-sang.

“I cleaned it all up a while ago.”

“When will our children’s landing end?”

“We have secured the bridgehead completely, but it will take two days to unload the remaining troops, equipment, and supplies.”

“Tell them to be very careful when unloading. How is it that the loss of life during unloading is always greater than the loss of life in battle?”

“Oh my! You too, sir. We’re unloading 80,000 troops, their weapons, equipment, and supplies. I’m asking you to be as careful as possible, but there can’t be any accidents.”

“I know, but I’m telling you to reduce it as much as possible.”

“All right.”

As it turned out, the ROK Marine Corps suffered more non-combat losses than combat losses, but this is a phenomenon that generally occurs when one side is overwhelmingly superior, so there was nothing that could be done about it.

This is the task of unloading tanks weighing over 50 tons, as well as various armored vehicles and self-propelled guns weighing less, in an unstable environment.

Even a simple graze would be a serious injury, so even if you were as careful as possible, some non-combat casualties were inevitable.

“Tell the ones who are ready to advance slowly. Make sure to provide cover with cannons and bombers.”

“All right.”

“By the way, I think the Kuomintang kids should have received the report by now?”

“I don’t know if Chiang Kai-shek will fall. The one I believed was my last bastion is gone.”

“Then why are you playing a prank that won’t work?”

“That’s what I mean.”

Kim Jong-woo and Jo Woo-sang had just received a report that not only the enemy’s nuclear bombs, but also all their infrastructure, equipment, and research personnel had been destroyed by the Cheonryong cruise missiles launched by the Navy’s attack submarines.

Now Chiang Kai-shek has nothing left.

July 8th, 11:41 AM.

The official residence of the President of the Republic of China in Fuzhou.

Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Ching-kuo, Commander Chen Qing, and their staff were completely out of their minds because of the enemies who landed at dawn.

In a situation where they even threatened nuclear bombs in order to somehow end the war on good terms, the South Koreans landed without paying any attention, which was like putting a fire under their feet.

“What the heck! Are you saying that they aren’t afraid of our nuclear bombs?”

“Whew! I don’t understand English. What would they do if we used a nuclear bomb?”

“Damn you guys! I really want to explode with anger.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

But everyone present knew that that shouldn’t be the case.

South Korea has not only had hydrogen bombs for a long time, but also had the means to deliver them.

In short, it is saying that having a nuclear bomb does not make everyone the same, and if the situation had not come to this, it would have been absurd.

But anyway, a nuke is a nuke.

Just as the saying goes that even a rat shouldn’t be cornered too much, the nuclear bomb is an object whose mere existence is bound to be a burden.

But somehow, the enemies didn’t seem to care at all.

They even carried out a landing operation in the waters off Fuzhou, the capital of the Republic of China, which could be called a desperate situation.

And then, the reason why South Korea is not afraid of the Republic of China’s nuclear bomb came flying in.

Bam!

Someone rushed in and whispered in Chiang Ching-kuo’s ear.

“What! Is that true!”

“Yes, that’s right. The confirmation is complete.”

“T-That’s possible?”

“What’s going on? Why are you making such a fuss during the meeting?”

Chiang Kai-shek looked displeased at the sudden commotion, then asked his son.

When I saw Chiang Ching-kuo’s face turn pale, I thought that something was not normal.

And bad predictions always turn out to be correct.

“… … .”

“Jingguo! What’s going on?”

“You, Yungtaiga… … .”

“You, Yungtae? Why is that?”

“They were all buried in what was presumed to be a bombing attack a little while ago… … .”

“What are you talking about! How did you get there!”

“I don’t understand that at all. No enemy fighter jets have ever flown in that direction… … .”

“It must be a false report! Yes, a false report! Yes! That place was dug through the mountain! There was no bombing by the South Koreans, but even if there had been, it would have been safe!”

“It has been confirmed.”

“Check again! You do it yourself!”

“All right.”

While Chiang Ching-kuo hurried out, Chiang Kai-shek continued to mutter incessantly.

“It’ll be okay! Oh! How did you make it there? That can’t be happening!”

“… … .”

Did about 20 minutes pass like that?

Chiang Ching-kuo came back in, his expression worse.

Chiang Kai-shek, whose heart sank at the sight of his son’s expression, asked in a trembling voice.

“Oh, no? Please tell me no!”

“I’m sorry. It’s all true. There was a massive explosion in all the underground facilities and they disappeared.”

“entire?”

“Yes, everything. The nuclear bombs, the equipment, the facilities, and the lab personnel.”

“… … .”

After the confirmed assassination of his son Chiang Ching-kuo, Chiang Kai-shek appeared to be speechless for a while.

and.

“Ugh!”

Boom!

Suddenly, Chiang Kai-shek fell down, clutching his head, screaming.

“father!”

“Your Excellency the President!”

High-ranking military officials, including Chiang Ching-kuo and Chen Qing, rushed to Chiang Kai-shek, but he had already lost consciousness.

“Call a doctor! Call a doctor!”

The iron man who had ruled the continent for half a century has fallen.

And this shock was later transmitted to the People’s Republic of China.

bang!

Liu Shaoqi stood up abruptly, hitting the table with his fist in an unusual manner.

“Comrade Deng! Say it again!”

“It is said that the Republic of China lost all of its nuclear bombs, facilities, and researchers.”

“What the hell are you talking about! I wouldn’t have kept something so important carelessly!”

“It is said that they dug into the side of the mountain and stored it underground at a depth of more than 20 meters.”

“But how did you destroy it!”

“I’m not sure, but it looks like something burst through the mountain… … .”

“That’s ridiculous!”

A situation arose where even Liu Shaoqi denied reality.

At that time, Zhou Enlai, who was attending the meeting from this time on, opened his mouth.

“Why doesn’t that make sense?”

“What?”

“I told you, the South Koreans aren’t the ones who wouldn’t prepare for that. They probably knew it from the beginning. But they left it alone. They wanted us to invade when we were so angry.”

“That, that can’t be… … .”

“It happened.”

“… … .”

This time, Peng Dehuai opened his mouth with a pale face.

“First, we have to stop the enemy’s advance! They are suddenly advancing at a frightening rate!”

“Let’s buy some time. Send all troops to the front. We have to buy some time to negotiate somehow! Time for Comrade Zhou to go to Seoul!”

“Ha, I understand.”

The order was immediately given, and all the troops in the vicinity of Beijing were sent to the front.

Even if millions more died, they had to buy time.

But behind the northern army of the Republic of Korea, large trucks that had never been involved in combat before were heading towards the front lines, kicking up dust.

There were 2,000 Cheonmu-2 multiple rocket launchers.
