In April 1951, on the Korean battlefield, the M26 Pershing tanks of the 1st Tank Battalion of the U.S. Marine Corps supported the operations of the 1st Marine Division during the battle in the Huachuan area.
The M26 Pershing tank, born during World War II, was a heavy tank equipped with the U.S. Army at the end of World War II. At that time, the German Tiger heavy tank swept through the European battlefield, and the M26 Pershing tank was specially built to deal with the German Tiger heavy tank.
A total of 2,428 M26 tanks were produced, and the first to be equipped were the 3rd and 9th Panzer Divisions of the U.S. Army's 1st Army. As soon as he entered the battlefield, he showed great power and made a great contribution to the capture of the Remagen Bridge on the Rhine on March 7, 1945. In the duel with the German Tiger heavy tank, no less. It was only because of the late entry that the M26 Pershing tank did not play an important role throughout World War II.
After the outbreak of the Korean War, the M26 Pershing tank came to the Korean battlefield with the US army and was very active on the battlefield.
Chinese People's Volunteer Army on the Korean battlefield, it is really not easy to face the US troops armed to the teeth.
