In the Korean War nearly 70 years ago, the world's major powers were more or less involved, either directly or indirectly providing weapons and equipment. And our country has paid a lot of casualties in this war, but even so, it still tries to block the "United Nations Army" led by the US military from the "38th Line". Speaking of this border without boundaries, that is, because of "it" china, we finally sent troops to fight, then then again, which country's army was the first to cross the "38th Line" at that time?
In fact, just after the US military announced the recapture of Seoul on September 25, 1950, whether to continue to march north and cross the 38th Line has become a topic of endless quarrel in the United States and the military, many people oppose, but more people support. But eventually the General Assembly passed a resolution granting General MacArthur, who held the title of "Commander-in-Chief of the United Nations Forces," a right to conquer and occupy North Korea.
Then, since this is the case, the joint meeting of the chiefs of staff of the United States is naturally willing to see the situation that will come to fruition, so it is only a matter of time before the UN forces cross the "38th line" is only a matter of time.
However, the first to cross the "38th Line" is really not the "United Nations Army", nor the US Military, but the South Korean army that is more interested in occupying the "Northern" territory.
As early as the U.S. army was arguing over whether to cross the "38th Line," a battalion of the South Korean Third Infantry Division had already crossed the 38th Parallel without getting accurate orders and entered a small town six miles north. The reason is only that every soldier wants to be the first soldier to cross the line, and their battalion commander has no ability to dissuade him, "maybe this battalion commander has long wanted to cross the line."
Then some people may ask, is there no danger of crossing the line at this time?
Since the Incheon Landing Campaign on September 15, 1950, the Northern People's Army has been in a situation where its troops are inferior to the mountains, and its main army has been defeated or captured by the U.S. Eighth Army in the north-south attack of the U.S. Eighth Army in the landing of the United Nations Army and the defense circle of Busan in the south of the peninsula.
The remaining army of more than 30,000 people was mostly birds of prey, fleeing north in a hurry, and in large-scale battles and urban offensive and defensive battles, they were no longer able to resist the unanimity's advance to the north.
Therefore, although the ROK army crossed the line with few people, it did not have much pressure, and not long after the ROK Third Infantry Division entered the "north", the remaining troops of its third division and the "capital" division also entered the "north".
By October 6, the ROK 6th Division led by U.S. Samsung General Walker also entered Korea, followed by the ROK 7th Division on the 7th. This unanimous attack also made the still hesitant U.S. army or "United Nations army" relax its tense nerves, and on October 9, the 1st Cavalry Division, the ace unit of the US Army, first crossed this traceless "38th Line". Since then, the United Nations army has entered the "north" more brazenly, and the US 24th Division, the South Korean 1st Division, the British 27th Brigade, the 65th Regiment of Puerto Rico and other units have successively marched north.
Although the "United Nations Army" and South Korean troops have made great strides northward, they believe that they are unhindered and smooth sailing, and victory is just around the corner. However, our country has also repeatedly expressed its position on the crossing of the line between the United Nations army and the ROK army, and our attitude is that the ROK army crosses the line, and we do not care, "This is a family affair between brothers, but if the US military crosses the line, we will certainly not ignore it."
The implication is that if the war escalates and changes from a domestic affair to an international dispute, then in order to protect the security of the northeast border, we will inevitably send troops. He has repeatedly warned the United States to be cautious in its words and deeds and not to cross the line, but it has been ignored by the US military.
On the same day that the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Army occupied Pyongyang on October 19, in order to defend the country, the 38th Army of our volunteer army, as the first unit to enter Korea, also entered Korea on this day. The first sino-American double-engine battle finally broke out on November 1, 12 days later, at Yunshan Mountain, just 60 miles from the Yalu River on the north side of the peninsula. The US "pioneer" cavalry division also suffered heavy losses at Yunshan and fled. The first U.S. troop to enter Pyongyang was also the first U.S. troop to engage the Volunteers and be the first to be fired.
On National Day in 1950, what a great gift the United States gave to our country! Eventually, my 250,000-strong army marched into Korea
In September 1950, the U.S. army attacked Seoul, and the momentum was overwhelming, and this time it was the turn of the KPA to escape!
The Americans were defeated in the second battle of the Korean War, but why did the Americans think it was a victory
