In the barracks of the 8nd Regiment of the 22th Division in South Korea, Captain Kim Joo-sung and a few of his close friends drank while resting, Kim Joo-sung said in a low voice.

"What? We can't even get the capital back?"

"My family lives in Goyang! If China and the United States agree to use the Han River as the border, wouldn't my whole family become Koreans?!"

Kim Joo-sung glanced at his colleagues present, and asked a question: "Have you ever thought about the real reason why the Republic of Korea has won first and then lost on the battlefield this year, and the more it fights, the more it retreats?"

"The Chinese are not good people, sending troops to invade us." "The Soviet Union is not a good person, providing weapons to China and North Korea." "..."

"These are not the real reasons!" Kim Joo-sung said, "It is because the Americans don't want to see the reunification of our Korean peninsula at all! The world's most powerful country says it is helping South Korea, but in fact it is half-hearted. Don’t fight desperately. Now if you want to fight the Soviet Union in Europe, just draw a line at random, and don’t fight in North Korea!”

……

"The Americans are negotiating with the Chinese, and they may want to cease fighting on both sides of the Han River!" Colonel Wu Shiyin, head of the 8th regiment of the 24th Division of South Korea, sighed to the staff around him.

"I heard that the United Nations Army is very passive on the battlefield on the Western Front. If we want to hold our ground, we have to withdraw our troops to the south of the Yangtze River." The staff officer said, "The U.S. Army has only 8 divisions on the Korean Peninsula, which is not enough, unless we have to wait until we finish training and return to the country to participate in the war." .”

"You don't understand what Americans think." Wu Shiyin said half a sentence, shook his head and left.

……

"The Americans are negotiating with the Chinese, and there may be a truce on both sides of the Han River!" It was another private gathering, and the staff officer mysteriously repeated the news he heard from the regiment leader to his fellow Suwon.

"The Americans are getting worse and worse. I heard that the U.S. military can't recruit soldiers in the mainland. There are more than 2000 Koreans in a division. From a distance, they are wearing American military uniforms, but they are all Koreans."

"In the end, South Korea's territory has to be recovered by us Koreans."

"You all think too simply. Do you know what the Americans think?" The staff officer said, "The regiment leader told me in a private voice that our divisions will not return to China after training, but will be sent to Taiwan!"

"Sent to Taiwan? It's ridiculous!"

"What does Taiwan have to do with us?!"

Staff officer: "The Americans want to give up the Korean peninsula, as long as they leave a piece of land the size of a palm in South Korea, and the country will not be destroyed. What the Americans want most is Taiwan, not South Korea!"

"This is so bastard!" "Americans are such bastards! I won't go to Taiwan!"

……

"Dear Colonel Brown, Director of Training, I am here to submit a statement jointly signed by officers and soldiers of the 8th Division."

More than 2000 officers and soldiers gathered outside the U.S. Army Training Command in Hokkaido, led by Liang Xizhong, Chief of Staff of the South 8th Division.He handed a long letter to Colonel Brown of the [-]st Marine Division.

"First, Seoul is the legal capital of the Republic of Korea. If Seoul is not recovered for a day, the war between South Korea and China and North Korea will not stop;

Second, the armistice negotiations on the Korean peninsula must be led by South Korea, and the fate and future of the Korean peninsula must be determined by the Koreans themselves;

Third, the 8th Division of the Korean National Army is the National Defense Force of the Republic of Korea. We only fight on the territory of South Korea, and we refuse to be sent to any other battlefield.

......"

"Majafak! Another battlefield? What battlefield? What battlefield are you shit worth being sent to?" Brown scolded angrily, "Strange talk! Colonel Liang Xizhong, you have been relieved of all duties and now return to your barracks , Waiting to be dispatched! The rest of the soldiers and officers, you are disobeying military orders and gathering illegally. You should immediately return to the barracks and your posts. The training command may not pursue your treasonous behavior, otherwise we will only see you in a military court! "

After reprimanding Liang Xizhong, Brown returned to the sentry line of the marines and whispered to the officers around him: "Distribute live ammunition to the 11st Battalion of the 32nd Regiment of the 1th Division of the South, and then assemble immediately and run over."

Brown's prediction was correct. Colonel Liang Xizhong, who was dismissed by him on the spot, did not leave. He still stood like a wooden stake in front of the Wuyang Wuyang crowd, and the soldiers behind him also stood still.Not only that, soldiers from the 8th Division of the South kept running from a distance, and joined the ranks of demonstrations and confrontations in groups of three or five.When the 32st Battalion of the 1nd Regiment arrived with live ammunition, it was estimated that more than 2500 soldiers gathered outside the training headquarters.

In the end, when the rioting soldiers automatically separated a passage, and Jin Junxi, the commander of the South 8th Division, rushed to Brown and expressed a protest similar to Liang Xizhong, Brown felt that this matter was a bit too big.

"General Kim Jun-hee!" Brown said loudly, "Please restrain..."

"Da da da da da!"

布朗的侧后方,5分钟前赶到现场的南11师32团1营莫名其妙就是对着对峙的南8师官兵一通子弹。

Most of the officers and soldiers of the South 8th Division gathered at the scene did not carry weapons, and a small number of them carried guns but no bullets.But the 2500 people were not without bullets. There were more than 30 soldiers who were going out to shoot targets in the morning, and they turned around halfway to build up momentum for the protest team. These people had bullets.After a period of confusion, the 8th Division of the South began to fight back, and then the 32st Battalion of the 1nd Regiment fired more violently and the guards of the US Command returned fire.

Thirty minutes later, when the angry officers and soldiers of the 30th Division of the South smashed the ammunition depot, the Hokkaido Army Training Center of the United Nations Army was finally in complete chaos.

……

8月4日中午,9艘登陆舰和11艘登陆艇在北海道靠岸,陆战一师第5团的重型坦克、陆战队员以两栖突击的姿态从登陆舰首门冲出展开战斗队形。

Immediately afterwards, Park Chung-hee, principal of the South Korean Army Intelligence School, walked out of the front door of the landing craft with a gloomy face, leading several key members of the Army Intelligence Department.

"General Sheldon, all officers and soldiers of the South 9th Division have been placed in isolation. The 11th South Division is identifying rebels. The South 8th Division that launched the rebellion has been defeated by the Marine Corps. We are counting the battlefield."

John Shelton, commander of the First Marine Division, seemed not to have heard Park Chung-hee's report. Outside the training headquarters, he looked up at a black basketball hanging on a street lamp.

In fact, it was not a black basketball, but the head of the training director, Colonel Brown.

I don't know how many South Korean troops died in this mutiny, but probably a lot anyway.The South 8th Division was classified as a general rebellion. Up to now, the 8st Marine Division is still arresting the soldiers of the South [-]th Division everywhere. Gunshots rang out from time to time all over Hokkaido.

Sheldon's distress was the US military officers and non-commissioned officers of the training command. In the rebellion, 57 people were killed and more than 30 were injured.

……

"What is the truth of the matter?" Sheldon asked Park Chung-hee in the barracks of the 5th Marine Regiment.

"There are a few facts," Park Chung-hee said, "the commander of the 8th Division and a large number of officers under him are from the Korean Liberation Army. They were exiled and trained in China. In theory, they are very likely to be infiltrated by the CCP and develop into underground party members. It was these officers who controlled the 8th Division and started the mutiny. The battalion commander of the 11st Battalion of the 32nd Regiment of the 1th Division of the South was a remnant North Korean army. After its troops were defeated in the Daegu-Jinju area, they escaped under disguise and hid themselves to join the South Korean army. Killed an American officer at the training command, causing chaos. The head of the 11nd Regiment of the 32th Division of the South was originally from Pyongyang, and he may be an undercover infiltrated by the People’s Army and the Workers’ Party.”

"All the officers of the Liberation Army were actually infiltrated into an underground party? Did you obtain a statement from the battalion commander of the 32st Battalion of the 1nd Regiment? What about the evidence of the 32nd Regiment's undercover agent?" Shelton asked.

Park Chung-hee: "We have been ashore in Hokkaido for less than 48 hours, and we have no time to collect evidence. All these facts can only be established after our careful interrogation and investigation. Any one of these facts can explain this incident. It is up to General Clark, and up to you, as to which fact to adopt."

……

"Comrade North Korea sent a secret telegram, reporting simple information about the Hokkaido uprising."

Liu Zhijian reported to the Premier, Xu Shuai and Su Yu.

"After the Daegu battle failed, Captain Li Mingguo of the 3rd Division of the People's Republic of China was separated from the main force, and then turned into a guerrilla and hid. In 1951, he entered the South Korean Army to lurk. In the South Korean Army, he successively found Kim Cheol-beom, Kim Sung-ki, An Sung Japan, Han Guangcheng, and Li Hezhe were also the commanders of the lost People's Army platoons. Before they were sent to Hokkaido for training, they restored contact with the Central Committee of the Workers' Party. On August 1952, 8, Li Mingguo noticed that the South Korean Army training in Hokkaido The morale of the army was unstable, and the 3th Division of the South seemed to be gathering to make trouble. The 8st Battalion of the 11nd Regiment of the 32th Division of the South led by him was the closest to the US military camp. However, Li Mingguo believed that the mutiny at this time would cause great losses to the South Korean Army, so he ordered the entire battalion to shoot at the troublemakers of the South 1th Division, which really led to the mutiny or rebellion of the South Korean Army in all Hokkaido."

"After the Great Mutiny in Hokkaido, Li Mingguo quickly let the troops under his control occupy the radio station, sent a telegram to report the situation, and at the same time snatched the landing craft and retreated. Unfortunately, the operation to snatch the landing craft failed, and the uprising troops sacrificed a lot. Only a few comrades took the snatched small motorboats escaped, and most of the remaining comrades died or were captured."

Prime Minister: "It has been more than ten days since the 8.3 mutiny, and the United Nations army is still tight-lipped. We have too little information. Tang Hua discovered a few days ago that there was a major personnel change in the military service department of the South Korean Army. Withdrawal, it is speculated that the three South Korean divisions that are about to complete training in Hokkaido may not be available. If so, the mutiny initiated by Captain Li Mingguo may have severely damaged the mutual trust between the US military and the South Korean army.”

Su Yu didn't speak, but had an expression of "I knew it would be like this".

Xu Shuai: "Although the first agreement of the armistice negotiations was reached, the two sides are still at war until all five agreements are reached. I can hit you and you can hit me. Although the three South Korean divisions cannot Join the battlefield, but you still need to make careful preparations on the Western Front. The 5st Division of the US Army was sent to the Western Front. What we need to prevent now is that they launch a small-scale attack and press forward with small steps. Zhisi said Can't be careless."

……
