In the history of our country, there have been countless troops, some of which are famous and some of which are unknown. Today we will talk about that unit, which belongs to the miscellaneous army in the National Democratic Party, and how they have changed from the miscellaneous army to the main force of the volunteer army and have become the ace unit. The 50th Army of the Volunteer Army has a glorious record in the Korean War and a combat effectiveness that the world admires, and the combat effectiveness of the 50th Army is breathtaking.
The predecessor of the 50th Army was the 60th Army among the Kuomintang troops, after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek forcibly sent them to the northeast to participate in the infighting, and after they arrived in the northeast, they were attacked by the Northeast Field Army, and they were discriminated against within the Nationalist army at that time, and eventually many Kuomintang people called them 60 bears.

However, it was such a unit that led the troops to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea after the uprising, and what made them change was that they changed from the Kuomintang miscellaneous army to an important fighting force in the volunteer army. What about making them change their cowardice and become heroes that people admire?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > what kind of degeneration they have undergone from being called 60 bears in the past to the current 50 army</h1>
Let's review together what are the factors that make them all degenerate. The 50th Army of the Volunteer Army, formerly known as the Dian Army, is a bit unfamiliar to everyone, because they have not left many traces in history, they are not Kuomintang troops, and they cannot be welcomed by Old Chiang Kai-shek.
The reason why they have to change from the July 7 Incident in 1937 to talk about the sequence of the 60th Army belonging to the local troops of the Dian Army, the earliest can be said to be the armed force in Yunnan during the Xinhai Revolution, in the Republic of China it was precisely out of the chaos of the warlords, the Yunnan Army in Yunnan as a local powerful faction formed and commanded a relatively independent force, in modern China want to be quite a distinctive armed force, the Dian Army also played an important role in China's modern history.
After the Wuchang Uprising, we began the prelude (the Wuchang Uprising, also known as the Xinhai Shouyi and the Wuhan Shouyi, was held on October 10, 1911, referring to the beginning of an important revolution to overthrow the Qing government in Wuchang, Hubei Province. ）

At this time, the Dian army in the southwest participated in the mission of liberating the mainland. After that, Cai Yi and the Dian army participated in the Xinhai Revolution in the name of the Northern Expedition, and after cai yi and the Dian army revolted in Yunnan, they went to the Northern Expedition to Sichuan, Guizhou and other places. In 1912, parts of Tibet mutinied with the support of Britain and India while taking advantage of the central government.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > the Dian army suppressed the rebellion in Tibet and thus left Yunnan</h1>
At this time, Yuan Shikai and Sun Zong were dividing the victory of Xinhai, and had no time to take care of the rebellion in Tibet, so Cai Yi immediately led his troops to Tibet to suppress it, in order to protect the country.
As a local warlord, the leader of the Dian army has been changing, but the Dian army has not been changing, after Yuan Shikai won the xinhai victory, he actually vainly wanted to claim the emperor, of course, this was opposed by the vast majority of people, of course, this also includes the Dian army at this time has returned to Yunnan in the re-reorganization, when the Dian army learned of this news began his patriotic war, the Dian army also came out of Yunnan, successively marched to Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places.

After the victory of the Patriotic War, Cai Yi died of illness, and at this time the Dian army fell into a state of leaderlessness, and there was serious expansion and a scuffle with many places, and finally the Dian army returned to the old place of Yunnan, after which the Dian army fell into infighting and expansion.
The Cantonese army in Guangdong seized the opportunity at this time and transformed from a local warlord into a national revolutionary army, after which the Dian army began their northern expedition. The Dian Army, which was once at the beginning of the Republic of China, had slowly forgotten its original heart at this time, and fell into the quagmire of political power and profiteering.
Until the July 7 Incident in 1937, China fell into an all-out war of resistance, and at the same time launched a group of many warlords who were once bent on fighting for power and profit, after they were no longer fighting for power and profit, they joined the front line of the anti-Japanese resistance, at this time the Dian army also and the Kuomintang and warlords in various places were relieved to have a preconception and went together to eliminate the Japanese invaders.
The Dian army once again joined the war of protection, at this time the Dian army had six brigades, and 12 regiments of them formed a corps together, they jointly became our 60th Army, with Lu Han as the commander of the 3 divisions, according to statistics at that time they had 40,000 people actively out to fight against the invaders.

The 60th Army of the Dian Army, as the first unit to go to the anti-Japanese army, set out on September 10, 1937 at the Kunming Oath Division Conference, and these former warlords had different weapons, equipment, or qualities, and their performance during the warlord melee was extremely ordinary, and it could even be said that it was very bad.
However, they showed extraordinary bravery and fearlessness in dealing with the invaders, and really played the strength that Chinese should have, of which the Qian army was the weakest armed force in the southwestern provinces, but when dealing with the invaders, the Qian army did not hesitate or flinch in the slightest, and rushed to fight against the invaders, even if they wore straw shoes or even with their own bodies, to block the pace of the invaders' attack.
Of course, among them there is also the Sichuan army, which is known as a double-gun soldier, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Sichuan army wore straw shoes and took a double gun to walk tens of thousands of miles, not for anything else, in order to liberate the mainland, they went out of Sichuan to resist Japan without hesitation, among which the old Chiang Kai-shek who wanted to intervene in Sichuan issued a military order to separate the sichuan army that had just left Sichuan, after which the footprints of the Sichuan army spread all over the continent against the invaders, and most of the soldiers recruited from Sichuan were supplemented by the main force of the Central Army and the Kuomintang Army. After more than 20 years of warlord melee.

Although the number of Sichuan troops in various places is extremely large, but compared to the discipline of the Sichuan army is much worse, not only discipline and combat effectiveness have been ridiculed by the world, but in the confrontation against the invaders Sichuan army vowed to die without fear of sacrifice, at this time they are heroic, solemn and respectable, at this time people will forget the ridicule of them before will always know how great they are, at the same time the previous ridicule of them has become applause, and their previous title has also become a master of iron blood.
Similarly, the Dian army was also a weaker unit among the warlord troops in Qianxian Province, and the Dian army was only a little stronger than the Qian army at that time, but in the War of Resistance, the Dian army was much more bright and upright than the Qian army, and when the War of Resistance also occurred in the land of Jianghuai in north China, far away from Yunnan, the Dian army disregarded the long distance and sent its own concubine troops to Xuzhou to participate in the war, and also formed the 60 Army. At that time, the officers and men of the 60th Army were all descendants of the Dian Army, and they were the strongest fighting forces in the Dian Army.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" > what kind of record they have after the successful transformation of the 60th Army</h1>
In 1938, the 60th Army rushed to the front line of Taierzhuang to carry out the second stage of the Battle of Xuzhou, in the face of the menacing invaders, more than 40,000 people of the 60th Army fought a fierce battle with them, and in this battle there were 15,000 casualties and missing soldiers, of which more than 5,000 people sacrificed their lives for the country, the 60th Army fought hard for the country, and who dares to say that they are 60 bears? After the 60th Army withdrew from the Battle of Xuzhou, it was reorganized, and in the Battle of Taierzhuang, the 60th Army lived up to the expectations of the people and did not disappoint its mission, and even Lao Jiang had to send a telegram and commend the 60th Army.

One day in July 1940, Japan and the United Kingdom signed an agreement to blockade the Burma Road, and in mid-September, Japan signed a military agreement with French Vietnam, and the day after the Japanese army entered Vietnam, at the same time, the central and southern borders of the mainland, although they had not yet been invaded by the invaders, the invaders had made Southeast Asia a new target.
The Burma Highway was originally built by the Nationalist government in order to rush to transport the materials we bought abroad and helped us internationally, and as the Japanese army settled in Vietnam, the Burma Highway at this time became the only connection between China and the outside world at that time, and at that time, in order to strengthen the military defense of Yunnan, the 60th Army was transferred back to Yunnan to continue to garrison, just to prevent the invaders from invading him.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" > why Chiang Kai-shek let the 60th Army surrender after Japan surrendered</h1>
After our efforts and the efforts and persistence of the people of the whole country, the Japanese army finally announced the unconditional surrender of the Japanese army in 1945, and at the same time, the old Chiang called and ordered Lu Han to lead the 60th Army into Vietnam and be surrendered.
Is there any purpose in this? Old Chiang's purpose was to dismantle the 60th Army's power in Yunnan, and in October of the same year, Lu Han reorganized the Dian Army in Vietnam, led by the commander of the 60th Army, at the same time Lu Han became the new chairman of Yunnan at this time, compared with his predecessors, Lu Han's control of Yunnan was no better than before.
At that time, Yunnan was basically controlled by the Domestic Democratic Party, and the 60th Army was also overwhelmed, and in the summer of 1946, it was transferred by Chiang Kai-shek to the front line in the northeast to participate in the Liberation War, and at the same time, the 60th Army also ushered in an important war that changed its destiny at this time.

It is said that the 60th Army had an extraordinary performance in the war against Japan and that the 60th Army also fought many difficult and hard battles at that time, and that in the Kuomintang they labeled the 60th Army as miscellaneous cards, so what is a miscellaneous army?
Compared with the regular Central Army, all the troops that later submitted to Lao Chiang belonged to the miscellaneous army, and when these troops were in Lao Jiang's eyes they were cannon fodder, no matter how outstanding their performance was, in Lao Jiang's eyes these were all cannon fodder, and they could not get Lao Jiang's letter to them.
At that time, Lao Jiang once believed that they would defect at any time, after which Lao Jiang adopted a policy of differentiation and disintegration, and the "miscellaneous army" was dispersed to his own important troops to varying degrees; after the 60th Army arrived in the northeast, the 60th Army headquarters temporarily moved to the 21st Division, stationed in Fushun, the 182nd Division to settle in Tieling, the 184th Division dispersed in Anshan, Haicheng and other places, at that time the 60th Army was always controlled by the Kuomintang, and the Kuomintang was always full of discrimination and contempt for the Miscellaneous Army.

Therefore, the people of the 60th Army were extremely dissatisfied with the civil war that took the initiative of Lao Chiang and Lao Chiang, so this unit, which had heroically killed the enemy in the battlefield mountain and was not afraid, became tired of fighting and always maintained a relatively negative attitude towards combat, so this also led to the unsatisfactory battle of the 60th Army in the northeast.
In that year, the 60th Army thought that it would be able to go home and spend the rest of its life with its family and family members after driving out the invaders, but it did not expect that after driving out the invaders, it was transferred to the northeast by old Chiang Kai-shek to be cannon fodder, among which the 60th Army has always been treated differently by the Kuomintang, no matter what good things are always handed over to the Central Army, dirty work and tiring work will always be the 60th Army Under long-term treatment, the 60th Army has no idea of fighting, and the commander of the 60th Army of the 60th Army cannot stand this anger.

So at the end of May 1946, not long after the 60th Army was transferred to the northeast, Pan Shuoduan of the 184th Division of the 60th Army led his subordinates to participate in the uprising in Haicheng and defected to join us. Because the 60th Army did not have the heart to engage in the battle, it was called "60 Bear" by the Kuomintang.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="51" > the 60th Army could not stand the oppression of the Kuomintang and decided to revolt</h1>
Because the performance of the 60th Army was extremely poor, Liang Huasheng, chairman of the Kuomintang Jilin Province, said that the 60th Army was a "60 bear" and did not allow the commander of the 60th Army to work in the Kuomintang, and finally the commander of the 60th Army could only move to a small temple on the outskirts of the city.
On October 18, the 60th Army, in accordance with the requirements of The Northeast Field, went to Jiutai County, northeast of Changchun, to accept our reorganization, and along the way, the rebel troops led by the commander of the 60th Army felt the enthusiasm of the masses and the welcome of the masses along the way, which was the treatment that the 60th Army never enjoyed again after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Figure | our army has incorporated the 60th Army
When they were supported by the masses here, they were already in tears, and this deep love had fallen into the hearts of the soldiers of the 60th Army forever, and at this time they secretly swore to die to protect them from being hurt in the slightest.
Moreover, in order to take care of the rebel troops at that time, the northeast immediately raised fine grain to transport to Jiutai, at this time the northeast area was already very cold, but the clothes of the rebel troops were still autumn, at this time because of the result of their differential treatment in the Kuomintang, the Kuomintang materials were more they postponed.
So we asked the garment factory to speed up the speed as soon as possible to make 30,000 cotton jackets, as soon as possible to make the rebel army suffer a little less, after the efforts of the garment factory, the final son ah within 3 days of handing over, although the 30,000 sets are urgently made, but in the winter the effect of keeping warm is still not bad, even at that time the fabric used is not bad, even better than our troops at that time, the workmanship is also very thoughtful, when the 60 army put on these cotton clothes, whether it is the commander of the 60 army or the generals, They were all very excited.

But after the uprising, it is not that the 60th Army can enjoy everything, we still have to work hard for the people, and at the same time the 60th Army has also ushered in a major transformation, and if this unit wants to become the same unit as our side, it must be transformed and reorganized.
First of all, the 60th Army ushered in the abolition of all anti-feudal organizations, the expulsion of the officers with reactionary ideas, and at the same time the 60th Army had to join other fraternal units and our political commissar to take charge of it, and through our efforts, the officers and men of the 60th Army knew who they were fighting for and what they should do.
Under our education, the 60th Army knew that it was necessary to fight for the people and for the masses, and at the same time we also carried out a grievance conference so that the officers and men of the 60th Army could express the bitterness and dissatisfaction in their hearts in the past few years, and we promptly solved these problems for them and persuaded them, so the officers and men of the 60th Army told them all about the oppression they had suffered in the old era.
Many of the officers and men of the 60th Army were crying bitterly at the grievance meeting, which was in stark contrast to them on the battlefield, most of them were from poor backgrounds, and had been bullied by landlords and warlords for a long time, and after a long period of oppression, they always stood up and fought with the landlords and warlords, from lazy and fearful deserters to fighting heroes.
Figure | grievance conference
They are also ordinary people, what makes them not ordinary is those oppression and battles, and at that time it was no longer a slogan to overthrow the Kuomintang and liberate all of China, which was what the 60th Army and thousands of people expected.
At that time, there was a typical case that a prisoner named Lu Xinli went out in the middle of the night while the whole company was asleep, and when the instructor found out, he thought he wanted to desert and secretly followed, but unexpectedly, Lu Xinli went to a dirt cliff above the wild, took out a card from the bag and inserted it on the ground, and lit a candle and a tribute, he knelt down and prostrated, called out to the mother and began to speak.
It was not until the end that the instructor understood that he was telling his dead parents about his heart, and the instructor was also sad and went up to him to hug his headache and cry, and the next day the prisoner told his own experience, his father beat the elder husband to death, and then he and his mother took his sister to work in the salt field, and the mother died in the torture of illness and hunger.
Now there is only his sister left, but he was still found by the Kuomintang and took away his sister, not knowing whether he is dead or alive now, he said that he knew who was chosen between our army and the Kuomintang and oppressed together with the Kuomintang.
After the reorganization of the 60th Army also began to go south to fight for the people, they were reorganized into the 50th Army, after which they continued to struggle and always had their own fame and made the people love them more, they knew that in 1950, after the Outbreak of the Korean War, they formed a volunteer army to go to Korea to resist the war, and after their continuous efforts, they became soldiers who struggled hard for the people.
Their 50th Army became not to fight for the individual but for the people, they are worthy of being a heroic unit, they have always been an iron-blooded division, the goal of the struggle before is gone, and with the help of our side, they have always found the momentum of the year in the fight against the invaders and become the 50-strong troops.
