In the whole world, only China has defeated the United States!
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea that year, there were many reasons why the volunteer army was able to defeat the US army, among which excellent command was very important. In particular, as the backbone of the command, the commander of the army was even more stunned by the command of the United States who had received comprehensive military education.
Among the many military commanders who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Liang Xingchu, who played the prestige of the "Long Live Army," was simply an outstanding one.
Liang Xingchu was a native of Ji'an, Jiangxi, and his life was full of legends.
Born into a poor family, he worked as an apprentice at the age of 12 in a blacksmith's shop to make ends meet.
A small child in his early 10s, all day long by the red iron stove, sweating like a big hammer, the spark splash in front of his eyes can not take care of.
This was the childhood of the children at the bottom of that era. If you put it now, a 12-year-old child doesn't even have the strength to lift a hammer. But in that era, all children had similar experiences: Peng Dehuai dragged coal in a damp and dark mine at the age of 13; Geng Biao worked as a child laborer in Shuikou Mountain, Hunan Province, in his 10s, knocking ore in open-pit mines, regardless of the cold winter and heat...
The heavy hammer did not crush Liang Xingchu, on the contrary, it hit his steely will. When the Red Army came to his hometown, he was already a steel boy.
Such a man of steel is certainly not ordinary in fighting, and every battle is as brave as a tiger, and when charging, it is like entering no man's land. As a result, he was also injured many times, gunshot wounds, knife wounds, shrapnel wounds, all over the body, scarred.
Once a bullet went in from the cheek and then came out of the top of the head. Suddenly, blood flowed like a gush, in the mouth, on the cheeks, on the top of the head, and the blood gushed out like a spring. But he ignored the command and still shouted at the position. It was not until the enemy was completely repelled that he fell to the ground and passed out.
His comrades thought he was dead, and even the coffin was ready for him. But a few days later, he woke up on his own, startling the people around him, even the doctors.
Doctors who had seen countless strong Red Army soldiers were also deeply impressed by him, and could not help but sigh, "You are really an iron man."
Since then, everyone knows: Liang Xingchu, who was born of iron, his body is iron!
Liang Xingchu's body was not only iron, but his will to fight was also as indestructible as steel. Especially when fighting the Japanese army, he was a complete steel warrior.
Old China was bullied by the great powers for a long time due to its poverty and backwardness. Japan has lost its conscience even more, killing and setting fires in China, doing all kinds of evil deeds------ and countless unarmed Chinese compatriots have fallen under the guns of the Japanese army in pieces.
Chinese how eager I am not to be slaughtered again!
How ambitious Chinese longed to really fight the Japanese army!!!
The Battle of Pingxingguan was a hard-fought battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army.
Liang Xingchu was a battalion commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army at the time.
As soon as the battle began, he swept with a machine gun. As soon as the charge horn sounded, he took the lead and shouted into the Japanese ranks.
The Japanese army has always believed that China is weak and can be bullied, and has long been running amok in China. But when he encountered the Eighth Route Army, he could no longer be arrogant.
Liang Xingchu was tall, skilled in assassination, and had the infinite strength of his arm after holding a sledgehammer for several years. The bayonet-mounted rifle in his hand was like Zhao Zilong's bright silver gun, sending one little devil after another into the ghost gate.
After several hours of fighting at the Battle of Pingxingguan, Liang Xingchu had been fighting with the Japanese army in the pile with bayonets. By the time the battle was over, he was covered in blood and had become a bloody man.
In the later War of Resistance, whether it was a face-to-face bayonet fight with the Japanese army or a guerrilla war with the Japanese army, Liang Xingchu was always an iron man, and his comrades-in-arms simply called him "iron". Over time, the "iron striker" was well known, but "Liang Xingchu" was slowly forgotten.
After the liberation of the whole country, Liang Xingchu had a new "nickname" ------- the commander of the "Long Live Army".
The "Banzai Army" was also made by Liang Xingchu with the spirit of steel.
It was the second campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Liang Xingchu commanded the 38th Army to first capture Tokugawa alone, almost completely annihilating the South Korean 7th Division, and then capturing Gari ridge, crushing the Turkish brigade, and at the same time interspersing into Sansholi.
Sansho-ri is the only way for the US military to flee south, which determines the life and death of the US military. In order to arrive on time, the interspersed troops almost ran wildly. When encountering a river running across the road, even the female nurse rushed into the cold water.
The 38th Army arrived at Sansholi 5 minutes ahead of the US army and closed the "floodgates" for the US troops to flee south. In order to escape, the US army desperately attacked, and the large and small shells came all over the place. The domestic battlefield had never been seen before, and even Peng Dehuai, who was standing on a horizontal knife, could not sit still, and directly called the forward position of the 38th Army to ask whether it could be defended.
Peng Dehuai's worries were completely superfluous, no matter how the US army attacked, the 38th Army was always like a steel nail, dead nailed to the position. The Battle of Songbone Peak, written by Wei Wei in "Who is the Cutest Man", was commanded by Fan Tianen, the commander of the 335th Regiment of the army.
There were many, many similar battles at the time...
In this campaign, the volunteer army annihilated more than 36,000 enemy troops, while the 38th Army alone annihilated more than 12,000 enemy troops, of which more than 1,000 American troops were captured. Peng Dehuai was overjoyed and could not help but send a telegram saying "Long live the 38th Army."
The 38th Army, which holds the title of "Viva Army", is getting harder and harder. In the short-term blockade battle on the south bank of the Han River, he once again fought a bloody battle with the US army, and the sky was dark and the ground shook. At the most tense moment, Liang Xingchu encouraged the whole army with iron: iron is slag, and once it is hit, you will know that the more good iron is hit, the harder it is, and the iron slag will shatter when it is touched.
The 38th Army held off on the south bank of the Han River for nearly 20 days, killing and wounding several times as many American troops and stagnating.
Today, the "Viva Army" has become famous all over the world. With the steel spirit created by Liang Xingchu in the beginning, it has become the top pillar to defend China.
Liang Xingchu: A native of Ji'an, Jiangxi, he served as a squad leader, platoon leader and company commander in the Red Army. During the Long March, he served as the commander of the reconnaissance company and made great contributions by collecting newspapers in Hadapu that read "There is a Red Army in northern Shaanxi". In 1955, he was named lieutenant general.
