Is the U.S. military invincible?
This may not be a problem for the most powerful country in the world, because the United States has the strength to crush any one hostile country, but the United States has not won 100% of the wars since modern times. Although the United States won the Mexican-American War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II, it has also achieved brilliant results in recent wars. However, in the Korean War in the 1950s, the United States did not take advantage of anything, but the participation of the United States in the war still made a big man frown, that is, Stalin.
North Korea is in a state of flux
The war, which broke out on June 25, 1950, was occupied in just three days after the Korean People's Army's devastating offensive, and even Rhee's presidential palace was swept away by the KPA air force.
The people's army, which was full of momentum along the way, took advantage of the victory to pursue and continue south. However, although on the surface the people's army offensive "all the way to the feng", in Stalin's mind he was already worried about the war situation, he showed concern about the situation on July 1, and this day was only 7 days after the outbreak of war.
Unfavorable factors
In fact, Stalin's concern is correct, although the People's Army has been marching all the way, but the American response is particularly fast, they broke out on the second day of the outbreak of the war, that is, the 26th, they dispatched a large number of air forces to bomb various targets on the north side of the peninsula, as the war progressed, the US air force also greatly increased, they not only bombed the People's Army fighting in the front positions, but even the big cities of Pyongyang, Kaesong, and Seoul were also bombed on a large scale.
The U.S. Air Force's dispatch greatly reduced the KPA's combat capability and slowed down their offensive momentum.
At the same time, although the ROK army has been defeated and retreated, and its combat effectiveness is worrying, it has to be said that not all the ROK troops have been beaten to the ground, and although the overall resistance of the ROK army cannot stop the people's army from making a big stride, there has also been a situation of stubborn resistance in local battles. This is obviously what the KPA does not want to see, because strong resistance will affect the KPA's goal of a quick battle, and the faster the North Korean advance, the less likely the Americans will intervene, otherwise it will be more difficult for North Korea to win after the U.S. Army has landed on the island.
In addition, the Soviet Union received the news through radio reconnaissance that Taiwan would also send three divisions to land on the peninsula, which, if true, would increase the cost of war for Kim Il Sung. It was the concentrated manifestation of this intelligence that began to worry Stalin and to guess the final outcome of the war. Many people may ask the leaders of the Soviet Union whether they are worried about the situation in North Korea because of these situations.
Stalin's apprehension
Non also! Stalin, the leader who experienced the baptism of fire of World War II, did not worry about these small things, what he cared about was the attitude of the Americans, whether this American determination to defend South Korea would eventually anger the Soviet Union, if the Americans decided to intervene on a large scale, the Soviet Union would certainly not send troops to support, and the confrontation between the United States and the United States with north Korea's military strength alone was obviously a pebble.
So if the war goes well or the United States has no time to pay attention to it, it is good for North Korea, and if the Americans express great concern and send troops to the peninsula, it is powerful for South Korea. Before the outbreak of the war, Stalin and Kim Il Sung predicted that the United States would not overreact, but the Reaction of the Americans was very rapid, which was unexpected by both of them.
Once the United States slows down and begins to dispatch troops, the DPRK will be precarious, and judging from the battlefield situation that has only been in the war for 7 days, although the people's army is attacking, the United States and south Korea are still resisting frequently, and this resistance makes it difficult for the Korean People's Army to achieve its goal of making a quick decision.
Once the KPA offensive becomes the end of the crossbow, the US army will take advantage of the victory to pursue, if crossed the "38th line" will pose a great threat to the Soviet Far East, which is the last result of the Soviet Union under the bipolar pattern, the Soviet Union will face the dual pressure of Asia and Europe. Therefore, the far-sighted Stalin was worried about this, but he knew that China did not want to see the results of the Americans on the border, so our country had repeatedly said that it could send troops to aid Korea, which also made Stalin understand.
So he expressed his concern in a July 1 telegram to the Soviet adviser to north Korea, Shtekov, and asked if the North Korean army planned to continue the offensive. Were Americans intimidated by their entry into the war? When he received an accurate reply that the North Korean army would continue to attack and the enthusiasm of the people was also very high, Stalin gradually relaxed his mind.
But he did not know that this seemingly small-scale war would eventually evolve into a war with far-reaching effects on the world, and four days later, on July 5, the first U.S. Army began to land on the island, and although the advance team of only 540 people ultimately failed, it showed the attitude of the Americans, who were ready to intervene to the end.
On July 7, the "United Nations Army" led by the United States was established, the armies of various countries began to arrive in Busan, South Korea, and on September 15, the "United Nations Army" landed successfully at Inchon, and suddenly the situation on the peninsula was reversed in an instant, and Stalin began to frown again, so he thought again - China...
MacArthur: If Chinese dared to confront the UN forces and make them bleed! outcome......
After the Landing of Inchon, Kim Il became the first time that he did not turn to China, and what was Stalin's attitude at that time?
After the successful landing of the United States at Inchon, China expressed its willingness to send troops to help, so why did Kim Il Sung remain indifferent?
