In the TV series Liangjian, Li Yunlong said such a line: "Lao Tzu fights the elite!" This sentence can also accurately reflect the bright sword spirit of the volunteer army to meet the brave and win. On the Korean battlefield, there was such a heroic regimental commander who defeated a force that Napoleon, who had the title of "God of War" in history, had never defeated.
So, who is this heroic leader? How did he annihilate the elite British forces? If you are interested in this topic, please help "press the 2-second like button" to give a strong thumbs up. And "pay attention" to it, often come later, and don't get lost.
(Chinese Volunteer Army in the Korean Theater)
On the Korean battlefield in 1953, a British force and a volunteer force confronted each other at the forward position in Namsan, Pyeongcun. Logically, the UN troops and the volunteer army on the Korean battlefield have been fighting back and forth for three years, and they should know the strength of the volunteer army. However, in the course of the confrontation, this British unit not only fired cold artillery at our positions from time to time, but also let British soldiers pee on the positions in front of the volunteers, provoking our troops many times.
Which British unit, unaware of the prestige of the Volunteer Army, dared to be so rampant even as the Korean War drew to a close? It turned out that this force was the ace force in Britain. How powerful is this force to be called an "ace" by the UN army? It turned out that this unit was the "Black Guard Soldier Regiment" in Britain, and this name sounded as intimidating as the "Jinyi Guards" in our Chinese history. This force is arguably the oldest in the history of the British army, how old is it? From the beginning of the Glorious Revolution in England, this force was established. Then to the Crimean War in the 19th century, and to the two world wars in the 20th century, there was a presence of this unit. It can be said that this British Black Guard soldier regiment has followed the title of "Empire that Never Sets" and has fought all over the world, and before the Volunteer Army fought the United Nations Army, it basically beat up the countries of the world.

If it were a unit of the Light and Black Guards Soldier Regiment, perhaps the British army on the south mountain of Pingcun would not have dared to be so rampant. This British Black Guard regiment had another British force on the front line at that time, this unit was the famous British Duke of Wellington. This Sir Wellington Regiment, as soon as you hear it, must be related to the name of the person. So who is this Wellington? In history, this Wellington has always been regarded by the British as the hero of the country, when Napoleon, the so-called god of war, fought invincible in Europe, this Wellington of England stepped forward and defeated Napoleon at Waterloo. Therefore, the British have always kept the name Wellington as a reward for some of the troops under them that can fight well: like the Duke of Wellington, the battleship Wellington, which in England is described as a unit or fleet that can fight. The two aces snapped to the south of ping village, and the British man's waist pole hardened.
But do you think this Chinese the People's Volunteers are afraid? We're fighting elite! Besides, the good man does not mention the year of Yong, after the British fought in World War II, basically a second-rate army level, to here also put a trump card here, who has not been wide on the ancestors, you say no? At that time, one of the regimental commanders in our volunteer army was not convinced, and when he heard that this British ace unit was quite rampant on the front line and dared to pee on our troops, he said to his superiors at that time: "Chief, you let me take the 357 regiment under my hand, I can come up and destroy him!" ”
(Zhu Yurong)
At that time, the volunteer army also saw that the British ace unit was not pleasing to the eye, and they had long wanted to fight with the British. I heard that after the regimental commander Zhu Yurong got the approval of the commander, this 357 regiment up and down will be a fist in the hands, your British ace troops did not say that they have fought all over the world, then our volunteer army has fought on the Korean battlefield for 3 years and has also fought all over the world, today we will look at the two units that have fought the whole world, who is more powerful. This is the bright sword spirit of the narrow road to meet the brave to win.
In fact, under the circumstances at that time, whether it was because of the tribute to the British soldiers peeing provocations or the actual combat needs, it was very necessary for the volunteers to fight with this British ace unit. Why, exactly? Because in fact, if we think about it a little, why is the United Nations Command impartial, and it is necessary to put a British ace unit on the Nanshan position in Pingcun? This is because this Pingcun Nanshan position is very important! Judging from the map on this Korean battlefield, Pingcun Nanshan is an important river from the Korean battlefield: the Linjin River is also a distance of 7-8 kilometers, and if our troops take this Pingcun Nanshan position not far from the Linjin River, it will basically force the UN troops to the water's edge, and then we can wrap a big dumpling on the battlefield.
However, the shortcomings of the United Nations Army that our volunteers discovered were also discovered by the United Nations Army itself, so a British ace unit was deployed here. However, the United Nations army that fought against the volunteer army made the same mistake as the Kuomintang at that time, just like Chang Naichao, the commander of the Nationalist army division in "Bright Sword", said: "The battle plan of this nationalist army is formulated by genius, but it is often carried out by stupid people." This so-called British ace of the Black Guard soldier regiment is also, the United Nations Command let him guard the Pingcun Nanshan position, but the gang has been hanging all day long, following the American and South Korean brother troops next to them to brag about how brave they have been fighting centuries ago. Moreover, they did not believe that the volunteers could attack: why? Because of the Nanshan position in Pingcun at that time, the British could still build this fortification. They believed that the volunteers did not have heavy weapons and could not attack at all, nor did they dare to attack.
(Chinese Volunteers in the Korean War)
You can say that this United Nations army does not have a long memory, when the Americans and the volunteers fought, they also felt that the volunteers did not have heavy weapons, they did not dare to fight the fortress, to the British, they still made the same mistake, which can also be seen from the side that although the United Nations army sounds quite crowded, but in fact, it lacks communication of military experience, and the pace is inconsistent. However, from a specific point of view, the mistakes made by this American unit and the British troops are still inconsistent: like the American troops believe that the volunteers have no heavy weapons, that is, the volunteers really have no heavy weapons at that time, like the time when the Shangganling Heights were fighting, that is, some volunteer soldiers rushed to the highland fortress with rifles; but when it was the turn of this British unit, they felt that the volunteers had no heavy weapons, and what he did not expect was that the 357 regiment that had passed with him had heavy weapons at that time. So where did this heavy weapons volunteer army come from? In fact, when the volunteer army entered the DPRK, it was basically different from the time of the Liberation War, carrying some Japanese type 92 infantry guns and American armaments Bazooka bazookas, all of which we captured from the Japanese army and the Nationalist army. As the saying goes, "No guns, no cannons, the enemy will build me", by 1953, the volunteer army had captured a lot of heavy weapons from the United Nations army, especially the 357 regiment led by Zhu Yurong. So, at the end of the Korean War, the British troops said that the volunteers did not have heavy weapons, which was really a bit of a look down on people.
Therefore, our heroic regimental commander Zhu Yurong took advantage of the paralysis of the British troops and took advantage of the artillery unit to touch it. At this time, the British troops had not yet returned to God, and they thought about how to brag with the US army and the Rok army next, and as a result, this was not good, and directly bragged that the volunteer artillery was brought over. At that time, the British army felt that the volunteer army did not carry heavy weapons, and there were no relevant measures for the soldiers to do a good job of artillery protection, and the volunteer army was also unceremonious, basically pressing the old man to fight this group of rampant British troops. How many shells did the Volunteers fire at that time? According to the British troops' later post-war estimates, there were more than 9,000 shells at that time, and the scene was to smash the British troops who had bragged every day before, and the 1st Battalion of the Black Guard Soldier Regiment, which was guarding the position, was hit by the shells of the volunteer army, 12 people were killed, 73 people were wounded, and 20 people were missing.
(Volunteer Artillery Positions)
Seeing that britain's first ace unit, the Black Guard soldier regiment, could not be overwhelmed, at this time, the Duke of Wellington, another British ace unit, went to the rescue site, and as a result, when they arrived at the Nanshan position of Pingcun, which was shelled by the volunteer army, they found that they could not save the scene themselves, because the artillery of the 357 regiment carried by Zhu Yurong was too fierce, although they themselves were ace troops, but their flesh and blood could not stop such fierce artillery fire, so they immediately retreated, and the position of the United Nations army was also lost. It was a bit of a shame to say that at that time, the United Nations Command felt that it would be no problem to let the British ace troops hold this position. In order to make this position look quite frightening, at that time, the United Nations Command also named this position "Iron Hook Position", and as a result, as soon as the volunteers fired down, the "Iron Hook Position" directly became the "Crooked Hook Position".
However, if you want to say that this British ace unit is useless, it is also wrong, when the British Duke of Wellington, who went to the rescue, did one thing, that is, to calculate the degree of shelling fire of the 357th Regiment of the Volunteer Army at that time. At that time, the Ducal Regiment was left alone: from May 27 to May 28, the volunteers fired more than 11,000 shells. Although this data is of no use to the British army, it also witnesses that the volunteer army at that time is no longer a millet plus rifle unit, and this data shows that our volunteer army has achieved a huge leap from the previous pure light infantry unit to the infantry coordination unit.
Zhu Yurong, who had beaten the British ace troops on the Korean battlefield, was immediately promoted after returning to his homeland, and later became the commander of the 40th Army of the People's Liberation Army. However, Zhu Yurong is not proud of his achievements, but often struggles in the front line. At that time, because of climate change, there were natural disasters all over the country, and wherever there were natural disasters, he rushed to where he went first: harbin flood relief in 1953, Tianjin flood relief in 1963, he has always served the people, almost never saw him idle. By the time of the Tangshan earthquake in 1976, he was also rushing to the front with the people's disciples.
In addition, Zhu Yurong was not only able to fight, but also had a high level of consciousness. After coming down from the Korean battlefield, he knew that the Americans had lost because they did not understand strategy and tactics and the justice of war, but the high-tech and modern army of the US military on the battlefield also made him very concerned, and after returning to China, he advocated the modernization of the army, and he also helped promote and carry out the modernization of China's nuclear weapons and other aspects of the army modernization work, which can be regarded as paying his life's efforts and energy for the country and the army.

In 2003, Zhu Yurong passed away at the age of 82. His whole life has been to serve the people, the veteran does not die, he will always live in the hearts of the people.
