The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a miracle in the history of human wars, and the Chinese volunteer army won the victory over the advanced us troops with a weak victory over the strong, which shocked the whole world.
After the war, Japanese military scientists studied the war and found that there were seven incredible places for the volunteer army, so which seven were incredible? Is this really the case? Today we will reveal the seven incredibles of the volunteer army.
First of all, the motive and scale of China's War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was the first place that made Japanese militarists feel incredible, and even when the United States intervened in the Korean War, it did not expect China to intervene. MacArthur, the commander of the US army, even made a big fuss about whether it would be better to directly hit China.

At this time, new China had just been founded, and the country was in ruins waiting to be rebuilt, not only the United States, but even the whole world believed that China should have no time to take care of the DPRK, but when the US military did not expect it, China not only intervened in the Korean War, but also on a very large scale.
In addition to the reasons for China's participation in the war because of Sino-DPRK friendly relations, the most important thing is that once the United States burns the flames of war to the Yalu River, then China's northeast region will suffer a serious threat, and the northeast region is China's heavy industrial area, and China simply cannot allow such a big threat to be here, so it is very necessary to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
At that time, MacArthur did not think that our country would send troops, and even the United Nations army believed that even if our country participated in the war, it should be dealt with by a few troops.
However, what the UN army did not expect was that during the entire period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Chinese Volunteer Army invested a total of 190 w of officers and soldiers, which is also the inconceivable place where Japanese military scientists have found inconceivable.

In the early days of China's War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, 20w of volunteer troops crossed the Yalu River and arrived in Korea, and soon after they launched an attack on the United Nations army, but the US reconnaissance plane did not find anything at all, which was also the second place that made Japanese military experts feel incredible, that is, the camouflage and reconnaissance capabilities of the volunteers.
In the early days of the volunteer army's entry into the DPRK, the superiors clearly stipulated that after entering the DPRK, they quickly entered the mountains and forests, began to lie out day and night, rest during the day, and then carry out a rapid march at night when the US army was resting.
Some units even demanded that they should not speak loudly, and that if there were American reconnaissance planes above them, the volunteers would have to remain motionless, even if the artillery hit their heads.
It was with this spirit of sacrificing the ego to complete the great self that the concealment of the volunteer army was later called the miracle of war history.

There is also how the volunteer army first entered Korea, how did it detect the movements of the United Nations army, judging from the brain capacity of Japanese military experts, it is impossible to estimate that the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea ten thousand times is estimated.
At that time, China did not have such advanced reconnaissance technology as the United States, the United States used reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter, and our country used the old methods, that is, reconnaissance in disguise, lurking behind enemy lines, and torturing prisoners.
Long before the volunteer army entered the Korean war, Wu Ruilin, the commander of the 42nd Army, took the reconnaissance team disguised as railway staff to the DPRK to conduct terrain exploration, drew maps, and wrote down a large amount of information, which provided great help to the volunteer army in the future of the korean operation.
In addition, the most used reconnaissance method by the volunteer army is lurking behind enemy lines, but most of the time it is several days of squatting, so it is a test of patience.

However, after the us military commander was replaced by Ridgway, the advantage of lurking behind enemy lines was reflected, and the difficulty of ordinary reconnaissance at that time increased a lot, because Ridgway was no better than MacArthur, who was very good at playing conspiracy and trickery, and under his command, various light and dark fire points and minefields, barbed wire and other fortifications were built near the US positions.
At this time, it is necessary to use the lurking behind the enemy, for example, the victory of the Battle of Lao Bald Mountain is to rely on the intelligence obtained by the scouts lurking behind the enemy.
At that time, two scouts were lurking in a bomb crater near the American fortifications, and in this way, the volunteers successfully blew up the American fortress by passing information on walkie-talkies.
Later, the U.S. army reacted to search the surrounding area, and the two scouts were in danger, and immediately called the command to shell the place where they were hiding, successfully scaring off the U.S. search soldiers.

In addition to the above two, torturing prisoners is also a common means of obtaining intelligence by the volunteer army, but capturing prisoners is also skillful, and cannot be discovered by the enemy, otherwise it is more than worth the loss to expose the identity.
Therefore, at that time, the volunteer army used more beauty and makeup techniques, dressed as a North Korean woman, and waited for the US military to relax its vigilance and take it in one fell swoop, and there was also a kind of makeup into the South Korean army, directly running to the US military and they were close, but the risk of exposure was also very large, which tested the ability of the investigators to adapt to changes.
In addition to the reconnaissance capability, the volunteer army's civil engineering operation ability was also the third place that the Japanese military scientists felt incredible, and the United Nations army retreated to the defense of the Rinjin River since the second battle, where it formed a three-lane defensive position with a depth of about nine kilometers, known as the copper wall.
In order to break through this defensive line, the Volunteer Army sent the 116th Division to carry out the breakthrough mission, and before carrying out the task, the 116th Division decided to use the ground as a cover to form 316 hidden units at a position about 300 meters from the enemy, so that the entire position was underground, and there was no trace of it from the ground.
When the 116th Division launched the attack, the United Nations army did not find out at all, and was directly broken through by the volunteer army through the so-called iron wall of the defensive line, in addition to this, the most reflective of the ability of civil engineering operations should be the tunnel warfare, which was specially dug to cope with the bombing of American aircraft.

In addition, the most incredible place for Japanese military experts is the logistics supply of the volunteer army, which is also the fourth incredible place, and the logistics transportation in our country at that time can be said to be very primitive.
At that time, American bombers often bombed China's supply routes, causing losses of about 50%, and the shortcomings of the supply line became more obvious after the front line was lengthened.
At that time, the logistics minister was Li Jukui, and in the face of the US air force attack, he thought of a way, that is, to establish an air defense post, to establish an air defense post every 1.5 kilometers on the supply truck transportation route, and once the US aircraft were found, they would fire a warning shot, which was very easy to use, reducing the loss to 0.5%.
For the first time, the air defense units of the Volunteer Army shot down enemy aircraft
In addition to logistics, the speed of the volunteer army's pursuit is also excellent, which is also the fifth incredible place proposed by Japanese military experts, that is, the mobility and pursuit speed of the volunteer army.
After the end of the first campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea, General Manager Peng urgently transferred the Ninth Army from China, and in less than eighteen days, he rushed to the first division of the US Army and took the lead in reaching the area around Chosin Lake.
When the second battle began, the 113th Division was ordered to intercept the retreating American troops in Sansholi, a task that seemed almost impossible at the time, so the Americans retreated in a car, and the volunteers could not only walk, but also had to ensure that they were not discovered by the Americans.
But how to know the result, the 113th Division immediately after receiving the order, the whole division to carry out a rapid march, it can be said that it is completely challenging the physiological limit, some volunteers directly shocked to the ground, some volunteers directly vomited blood, but they did not give up, they only have one goal, that is, three schools.

After 14 hours of rapid marching, the 113th Division finally took the lead in the arrival of the American troops in Sansholi, and when the news reached the headquarters, everyone shouted that this was simply a miracle, because the volunteer army ran for 145 miles in 14 hours, which was a great miracle.
After that, the 113th Division launched a blockade battle in Sansho, that is, the Longyuan Blockade Battle, which was the key to victory on the Western Front, and even Peng Laozong directly called the 38th Army of the 113th Division as the Long Live Army after the war, which was also the biggest praise for the 113th Division.
In addition to the speed of pursuit, the night combat capability of the volunteer army is also a place that makes Japanese military experts feel incredible, and it can be said that throughout the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, some important operations were carried out at night.
For example, we are familiar with the Battle of Chosin Lake, the Battle of Shangganling and the Battle of Jincheng. This is mainly because our country does not have air force cover, and during the day the US air force supports our country can not take him,

The investigation found that the casualties of the volunteers in the day and night battles were ten times different, so it was necessary to fight at night, and the night battles allowed the volunteers to approach the American army covertly and directly fight with the American army.
Therefore, the heavy weapons of the US military cannot play a role, which is equivalent to a night battle directly abolishing the US military's air force superiority and heavy weapons superiority, and the famous Polar Bear Regiment of the US military was annihilated by our army at night.
To say the importance of night combat, look at the reaction of the United States to know, after the end of the Korean War, the US military directly increased the training of night combat, but also purchased a large number of night vision goggles, it can be said that after eating the loss of night war, the US military has also become a night combat expert, fully embodies the fight can not join this sentence.
What makes the Japanese military experts feel most incredible is the fighting spirit of the volunteer army that regards death as a homecoming, which is the fundamental reason why the volunteer army can achieve victory, and it is because they have the belief in defending the country and the spirit of seeing death as a homecoming that they can create so many miracles.

Throughout the Korean War, many heroic men emerged, and in the Battle of Chosin Lake, Yang Gensi led a platoon of troops to guard the 1071 Heights to cut off the retreat of the American army.
After repelling the eighth attack of the US army, the whole platoon only had Yang Gensi and two wounded, and just when the US army launched the ninth attack, Yang Gensi directly rushed to the enemy with the explosive package and died with him, which is the special combat hero Yang Gensi.
In the Battle of Shangganling, when capturing the position of the main peak of Zero, Huang Jiguang blocked the enemy's machine gun strafing with his chest and won a huge fighter for the troops to charge, and Huang Jiguang was also another special combat hero in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in addition to Yang Gensi.
According to statistics, during the entire period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, a total of 302724 volunteer soldiers made meritorious contributions, of which 217 were first-class meritorious men, and behind each special merit was a combat miracle.
It is these greatest men who can create a miracle in the world's military history, and the inconceivability of japanese military experts is a powerful proof of the strength of the volunteer army.
The remains of the volunteer martyrs returned to China
The Korean War brought out China's national prestige and military prestige, so that the United States no longer dared to underestimate our country, and let the world know the strength of the Chinese army. Today's peace is not easy to come by, history should be remembered, pay attention to us, and take you to learn more about history.
