A piece of history, a war, a piece of gun smoke, hello everyone, I am the "collection number of history":
Looking back at the Korean War 69 years ago, it always makes the people of the country lament the repetition of the war situation, and at the beginning of the war, the eyes of the whole world were focused on the "north of the peninsula". Their surprise attacks, in order to destroy the ravaging attacks, forced the U.S. and South Korean troops into a small corner, as if the Americans were about to be driven into the sea.
However, after the successful landing of the "United Nations Army" at Inchon, people around the world saw that the "United Nations Army" had eliminated the main force of the North Korean People's Army in a north-south attack, and then crossed the "38th Line" to occupy Pyongyang and marched along the Yalu River. So why did the situation, which was originally good for Kim Il Sung, take a sharp turn? Among them, what correct suggestion did our country put forward to Kim Il-sung that was not adopted and thus made the situation irreparable?
When the People's Army armed with Soviet-style weapons launched a continuous attack on the United States and South Korea, although the United States and South Korean troops resisted step by step, the Korean troops without heavy equipment and the sparse number of American troops could not block the T-34 tanks of the People's Army and trucks full of infantry.
For Kim Il Sung, all he needed now was a quick decision to win the war before the U.S. Army had massive support. For the United States, as long as the front-line troops desperately resist and give the rear time to prepare and support, the final victory of the war must belong to the United States and South Korea, so the two sides began a long-term attack and resistance on the battlefield.
The right proposal for my country
When Kim Il Sung's personal representative, Lee Sang-chao, came to our country, china directly proposed that although the North Korean march at this time was smooth, the People's Army was facing a very powerful enemy, and this must be borne in mind. The KPA is now only concerned with attacking forward, but the rear is empty, and if the enemy lands in the rear, it will cut off the KPA line of communication and supply, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Moreover, at that time, our country also advised Kim Il Sung to realize this danger, concentrate his forces, and carry out a strategic retreat so as not to cut off the back road.
But unfortunately, when Kim Il Sung heard this opinion, he could not listen to it at all, and warned Lee Sang-chao not to let anyone tell this news.
Inchon landing
However, the situation on the battlefield was expected by our country, just as the North Korean People's Army was attacking the "Busan Defensive Circle". The "combined fleet" of American, South Korean and British troops carried more than 70,000 UN soldiers. On September 15, 1950, a fierce attack was launched on the Incheon area on the west coast of the central peninsula, where the defending KPA forces were weak and were quickly defeated.
The "United Nations Army" successfully landed after losing only 200 people, and then a large number of troops, equipment, and supplies landed at the port of Incheon.
In just 10 days, the South Korean capital, Seoul, was retaken, and the KPA, which had previously attacked near Busan, was also caught between the north and the south. When the U.S. 7th Division, marching from north to south, and the U.S. Cavalry Division, which was marching south to north, converged in the Suwon area, more than 40,000 KPA troops were annihilated and captured.
It can be said that China's original proposal was very forward-looking, but Kim Il-sung, who was eager to achieve results and lacked troops, did not take this proposal to heart in the end. This made it impossible for him to defeat the Americans, and the success of the Inchon landings brought about a major reversal of the situation on the peninsula, and the KPA was suddenly panicked and defeated.
We do not know whether our proposal at that time would have been such a failure if it had been adopted by Kim Il Sung, but it is clear that the collapse of the Korean People's Army was indeed caused by the successful landing of the Americans, and in the end Kim Il Sung lost his armor and lost a lot. He sent letters of distress to our country and to the SOVIET Union when nothing could be done ...

The Americans had already seen through the V-shaped tactics of the volunteer army, but the 3-year war repeatedly made the American army panic
