#354. Are you swearing at me just now?

05:40, July 9, 1966.

The Northern Command of the Republic of Korea Army, 50km east of Beijing.

“Eww! It smells terrible.”

Lee Jae-ha went out for a moment and came back, grumbling.

“It’s because the corpses of the enemies that were not dealt with began to rot.”

“How many people have you killed?”

“We’ll only know that after the war is over. And that won’t be an exact tally.”

“Haa, honestly, I’m sick of it now, I’m sick of it.”

“Haha! That’s true.”

“Wouldn’t it be the same for our kids?”

“If we are in this state, how much worse must it be? The number of patients suspected of having PTSD is skyrocketing.”

“Damn it! If there’s anything even a little strange, tell them to evacuate everyone. At least there won’t be any people pretending to be sick because they don’t want to die, right?”

“Of course. It’s because I’ve seen too many enemy corpses.”

It is the fifteenth day since the start of the war.

Meanwhile, the Northern Army advanced to Beijing without much damage, but killed too many people.

Although they said they would clean up and tidy up, it was impossible to clean up everything properly while advancing.

Eventually, the sight of enemy corpses, most of which did not even resemble human bodies, strewn about or piled up like mountains was unavoidable for the friendly soldiers to see. Even for a veteran like Jaeha Lee, his subordinates were acting in a way that was beyond their capabilities.

“Still, I think everyone slept well last night. It’s been a while since there was any artillery fire or air raids after the sun went down.”

“We have to do this much. Today and tomorrow, we will have to fight an unprecedented battle.”

The war has reached its end.

When the nuclear bombs of the Republic of China, which we trusted, were all blown up by cruise missiles, both the South and the North fell into panic.

In particular, the People’s Republic of China, which had already lost more than 10 million troops, was aware of the Northern Army’s advance within striking distance of the capital city of Beijing, and was in the midst of a madman operation to gather all of its troops stationed in downtown Beijing and the rear and send them to the front lines.

As a result, the front line facing the Northern Army all the way to the eastern part of downtown Beijing was so full of the People’s Liberation Army and reserve forces that it was impossible to move.

It was a deployment that made you wonder if it would be possible to fight like that, but to anyone who saw it, it seemed like they were just trying to buy time by sending them out as cannon fodder and cannon fodder.

Northern Army Commander Lee Jae-ha saw this and intuitively felt that it was time to end it.

First, the 230mm Cheonmu-2 multiple rocket launcher unit that had been waiting for this day in the rear was called in.

And after sunset, all troops except the guards were given a rest.

Even the Air Force was asked to rest its fighter pilots and maintenance personnel, and this was the first night without any artillery fire or air raids.

Even though I made you rest from midnight to dawn.

But now the sweet break was coming to an end.

The only reason why special meals are suddenly provided or breaks are given out of the blue in the military is because it means that when the break is over, hell begins.

“Let’s take a look at the enemy’s placement.”

“Yes, Commander.”

A live broadcast from Albatross 2 was uploaded onto the monitor.

“Wow, that’s amazing. How many people are there, I wonder?”

“The Joint Chiefs of Staff estimates the number to be around 10 million.”

“It’s truly incredible. We killed, wounded, and captured about 10 million troops, didn’t we?”

“It’s about that much.”

“But another 10 million?”

“You expected that, right?”

“Still, that’s true.”

“As you said, it will go according to the will of the President and the Prime Minister.”

“Whew! Well, we’re soldiers. Anyway, let’s get started. It starts at 9 o’clock.”

“All right.”

“Have you finished discussing it with the Air Force?”

“Yes, today and tomorrow were talked about pushing the limits.”

“Because of the corpses, it will be difficult to advance. Actively use the combat dozers. And don’t engage in unnecessary dismounted combat.”

“All right.”

July 9th, 9:00 AM.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

All of the Northern Army’s artillery forces began to fire simultaneously.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

“Kwaaaaak!”

“Eww!”

“There is nowhere to escape!”

“Hey, save me!”

Shells do not only use shock fuses.

When you use the time fuse, it explodes in the air, literally turning the troops below it into a beehive.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Kwak bang!

“Eww!”

“Ahhhh!”

Limbs were flying in all directions, and there were many instances of people tripping over what turned out to be someone’s intestines while trying to escape.

The very existence of the Northeast Army was already ambiguous, as the remaining troops had in fact begun to be combined and used as part of the Beijing defense force.

Lin Biao, who has now been pushed back to Beijing Clock.

“They’re determined to strangle us.”

“Commander! What should I do!”

“What should we do? The higher-ups have already put our People’s Liberation Army out there to buy time. All we have to do is follow them faithfully.”

“Kuuuuk! How could this happen!”

“Come on! We must slow down the advance even a little! Keep pushing the troops!”

“… … .”

The fierce bombardment suddenly stopped after exactly one hour.

“Huh? Why did it stop so quickly today? It’s strange.”

“Could it be that they’re also running low on ammunition?”

“No way?”

“Yesterday, for the first time since the start of the war, there was no night bombardment at all.”

“Aren’t they the kind of people who wouldn’t even think about that?”

That was when.

Kuaaaah!

Behind the front lines of the Republic of Korea, countless things rushed forward, belching white smoke.

“That, that!”

“It’s a rocket!”

“Fuck!”

Phew, phew! Phew, phew! Phew!

2,000 Cheonmu-2 multiple rocket launchers in the rear took off simultaneously, spewing out flames and smoke.

Since the Cheonmu-2 is equipped with 12 230mm rockets, the total number of rockets launched by them is 24,000.

And each rocket warhead contains 518 submunitions.

That is, with the simultaneous firing of 2,000 Cheonmu-2 missiles, a total of 12,432,000 submunitions began to cover the front line, which had been reduced to 50 km from the North to the South.

The so-called rain of steel!

It started to rain steel.

Kwakwakwakwa!

“What, what is it!”

“A shower of tiny bombs is falling!”

“Kwaaah!”

“Ahhhh!”

After a while.

It was difficult to find anyone alive on the front lines swept by more than 12 million sub-munitions.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Lin Biao and his command staff were silent.

Is it possible in the world that there is such firepower?

Eventually, someone spoke their mind.

“Are we fighting these monsters?”

“… … .”

Kurrururur!

Ddddddddd!

Tutter tutter! Tutter tutter!

Following this, the armored units of the Northern Army began to advance.

Although it was not easy to find a specific target, the combat dozers, which had dozer blades mounted on the front of their tank hulls, silently advanced while pushing away corpses to the left and right.

and.

Kuoooooooo!

This time, South Korean Air Force fighter-bombers flew in and dropped 500-pound bombs indiscriminately, both forward and rearward.

Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang! Boom!

“Kwaaah!”

“Ahhhhhhh!!”

Eastern Beijing has become hell.

* * *

2:00 p.m., July 9, 1966.

Fuzhou, the capital of the Republic of China.

Kururur!

Ddddddd!

The Republic of Korea Marine Corps armored unit advances, led by K100 tanks and K31 infantry fighting vehicles.

Tutter tutter tung! Tutter tung!

The 12.7mm machine gun fired in rapid succession.

Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump!

The 40mm machine gun of the K31 infantry fighting vehicle was fired without exception whenever it was seen moving.

“Armored vehicle ahead at 1 o’clock!”

“Shoot!”

bang!

“12 tanks ahead!”

“There are still tanks? Shoot!”

bang!

The K100 tank fired at the remaining armored targets.

Now, it is only 13km to the Presidential Office.

The Republic of China Defense Forces are putting up a tenacious defense, but they are greatly outnumbered.

This was because most heavy weapons and armored equipment had long since been destroyed by air raids and artillery fire, so no matter how many troops were sent in, they could not be dealt with.

Although the South Korean landing force was holding out by avoiding urban combat, it was only a matter of time before the city fell.

July 9th, 2:50 PM.

Chiang Kai-shek’s bedroom in the Presidential Office.

“Eww!”

“Oh, Father! Are you awake?”

Chiang Ching-kuo shouted as he saw Chiang Kai-shek finally coming to his senses.

“father!”

“Ugh! What happened?”

“You just woke up now after fainting yesterday.”

“I see. Our nuclear bomb… … .”

“Khuuuuk! Yes, Father. They’re all gone.”

Kwaaang!

“What about this gunfire?”

“They have already begun to take control of the eastern part of the city.”

“I see,”

“… … .”

Neither Chiang Kai-shek nor Chiang Ching-kuo could open their mouths any more.

Because I know it’s over now.

Finally, Chiang Kai-shek opened his mouth.

“Jingguo.”

“Yes, father.”

“Surrender.”

“father!”

“The war is over. Don’t kill more people in vain. Surrender quickly.”

“Khuuuuk!”

“It was our misjudgment from the beginning. We should have just been content to live in the southern part of the continent… … .”

“… … .”

“So, surrender quickly. South Korea won’t do anything too harsh. They basically want to divide our Chinese people, so they’ll need us.”

“All right.”

“Okay, I’m tired now. If South Korea wants to take responsibility, then send me forward.”

“father!”

“Stop! I need you to get back up. So, take all the blame on me. Well, I won’t kill you. Even if you do, I honestly have nothing to say… … .”

“Khuuuuk!”

17:00, July 9, 1966.

With the unconditional surrender of the Republic of China, all fighting on Republic of China territory ceased.

The gunfire fell silent across the South.

* * *

11:30 a.m., July 10, 1966.

Beijing Eastern Front.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The defensive line was almost destroyed by the second day of the heaviest artillery bombardment ever.

Now, South Korea’s armored forces have entered the eastern part of downtown Beijing.

Zhong Nanhai Presidential Residence.

“Comrade Zhou! If they demand my life, I will gladly give it up! Please tell them to stop advancing!”

Chairman Liu Shaoqi clung to Zhou Enlai frantically.

Yesterday, the Republic of China already surrendered unconditionally.

Accordingly, under the extremely rational judgment that it was meaningless to hold out any longer, the Chinese Communist government also conveyed its intention to surrender to the Republic of Korea.

But, there is no response.

I tried my best to convey my intention to surrender through all possible wired and wireless routes, just in case it was not conveyed, but there was no response.

Only then did they realize.

That the South Korean government is deliberately delaying the surrender.

The bombardment and air raids continued, regularly raining down steel and taking countless lives.

According to some reports, the massacre was so one-sided that up to 200,000 people were dying per hour.

I don’t need any of that anymore.

If only South Korea would surrender, I would have hung all of its leaders.

Zhou Enlai was also in a hurry.

I tried my best to contact the South Korean government, but there was no response.

Finally, Zhou Enlai burst into rage and cried into the unanswered hotline.

“Kim Kyu-sik! You evil man! Are you planning to kill us all? Hehe!”

That was when.

– Mr. Zhou? Are you swearing at me just now?

“… … .”

Finally, a reply came.

Because I was swearing.
