In 1950, China was still a country that had just struggled to climb up from the ruins of a century of war, and in the face of the well-equipped and well-trained "United Nations Army" on the Korean battlefield, "our simple, generous and lovely volunteer army boys, with their young lives after the sacrifice of the successive sacrifices, played one after another to make the enemy stunned, but this price is really too big, and the thrilling battle scene makes people tear up."
There is no way, who let the motherland at that time just established the country, the national strength and the world's first United States is too different, every battle is with flesh and blood in the steel torrent, which also makes the Americans with equipment advantages very arrogant and even said to eliminate hundreds of Chinese, then what is going on? Why is the end result infuriating?
The words of an American support force officer named Corrömbetts and a colonel in the Postwar War of Thepinli Blockade went down in history. What he said, "We're going to kill hundreds of Chinese," was made on February 14 and 15, 1951, when he was supporting Toheirari.
Self-righteous capital
For his part, Colonel Krombates considered himself to have an extremely strong capital, as his team was the Fifth Regiment of the First Cavalry Division, an armored regiment consisting of 3 infantry battalions, 2 field artillery battalions, 1 engineering company, and 23 tanks. There is also the support of the air force, and the scale and firepower of this operation are very powerful, much stronger than the firepower of our volunteer army.
At the same time, Cromb bates was also from West Point, "an officer with a golden key in his mouth," which made him not pay attention to the volunteer army at all, and this arrogance was also a common disease of Americans.
In this way, on his way to reinforcements at Pingli, the volunteers who had been prepared to block the attack were waiting in a tight position.
Brutal battles
At the beginning of the battle our soldiers were overwhelmed by superior enemy fire, and Kromb bates was triumphant and excited, that is, at this time the words of the destruction of hundreds of Chinese blurted out of his mouth.
However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the quality of firepower is only a factor in the victory or defeat of the battlefield.
Soon Krombetts's doom came, for there were countless hills of size on both sides of the road he had to pass, which had long been occupied by the Volunteers and were impossible to pass easily.
As the volunteers on the way to reinforcements became more and more brutal, the pace of the American troops slowed down or even stood still, and Colonel Korom bates, who was still proud, had to reduce the three battalions to a smaller team, taking only tanks, engineers, an infantry company and a truck carrying the wounded, and eliminating the remaining non-armored troops. It was hoped that by streamlining the troops it would become an armored raid and reach Tonpyeong-ri as soon as possible.
But what the Americans could not imagine was that although they accelerated their advance, the sappers and 160 infantry companies mounted on the tanks suffered heavy losses, because the infantry on the tanks would jump down and fight every time the tanks stopped to fire, and when the tanks advanced again, our volunteers would never give the enemy the opportunity to jump back into the tanks, which led to many American infantry being abandoned by tanks, who were either killed or captured.
For example, in the battle near Quguli, due to the extreme fierce firepower of the volunteer army, many American infantry were abandoned by tank troops.
But it was infuriating and regrettable that the American force reached Tongpingli, where only a few tanks remained in The Krom Bates, and most of the original trucks and infantry were exhausted. But he still supported success and did not suffer any losses because of his unashamed words, which really made people grit their teeth in hatred, and if our soldiers could have the same firepower as the Americans at that time, they would definitely let him have nothing to return, because we wanted the enemy to know that the newly established new China was not a late Qing government, and anyone who dared to slander this great country should pay for his words and deeds.
