When the National Day of 1950 came, it was supposed to be a national celebration and the whole people beating gongs and drums, but an unpleasant thing happened. Just before the fireworks in the square in front of Tiananmen Square had been extinguished, the sky over the Yalu River, which was far to the northeast, was suddenly cloudy. A war that is about to burn down to the Yalu River is not far away, and the multinational forces led by the United States are marching to their "finish line" in a high spirit, and it is only a matter of time before they win the war! So, during the period of national celebration in our country, what "congratulatory gifts" did these countries as neighboring countries and the United States send? What do these "gifts" mean?
The first anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic
When our country is celebrating its "first birthday", our neighbor North Korea is experiencing a thrilling war, where the smoke of gunfire, the sound of gunfire, and the fighting there are always touching the fragile and sensitive "nerves" of our country. This sensitivity stems from the external tribulations of the past hundred years, the feeling of being repeatedly invaded and humiliated, and in the hearts of Chinese of that era, it is still fresh in the memory.
Therefore, in the face of the foreign troubles of the newly established New China, whether to send troops into the DPRK to drive the enemy away became the most intense topic at that time.
But apparently, we didn't have much time, and because of the rout of Korea on the battlefield, the "38th Line" became an undefended defensive line.
"Congratulations" for Koreans and Americans
On October 1, the Rokk army first crossed the "38th Line" and marched north, which became the first "congratulatory gift" received on the day of China's National Day. In the eyes of the South Koreans, they will never give up without marching to the Yalu River, so they crossed the "38th Line" much earlier than the US military, and this "congratulatory gift" was also completed with the acquiescence of the Americans. This means that the Border between China and North Korea is about to be ravaged by artillery fire from ground forces, and the hundreds of kilometers of the border will not be safe, which is far more terrifying than the US Air Force.
Moreover, the Americans also believe that since the ROK army has crossed the "38th Line," the U.S. military and the "United Nations Army" can also cross it, not to mention that the Air Force has already crossed this useless "line," then there is no reason why the ground forces should not continue to march north.
On October 1, they called out to North Korea on the Tokyo Radio and Television Station, demanding that the North Korean side surrender immediately, and also crossed the "38th Line" and marched north many days later, which became a "congratulatory gift" given to our country by the Americans. This congratulatory gift made our country finally decide to send troops into the DPRK, because their pace soon approached the Yalu River, and China, which has experienced vicissitudes, absolutely cannot tolerate foreign troubles to knock on the pass again.
"Congratulatory gifts" from North Korea and the Soviet Union
In the face of the aggressive posture of the "United Nations Army", the Korean People's Army has been unable to resist and has been defeated and retreated. Kim Il Sung had to send a letter of help on October 1, which arrived on October 3. In this letter, without exception, it has once again become a heavy "congratulatory gift" that stirs the sensitive nerves of our country, in which he clearly stated that if the "United Nations Army" does not give the DPRK a chance to breathe, the People's Army will have no strength to block the northward advance of the United Nations army. It is hoped that when the United Nations army attacks the area north of the "38th Line," our army will be able to provide timely military assistance for direct dispatch.
North Korea's demands made the ancestors of that era feel the danger of cold lips. So what did the Soviet Union send at this time?
Just the day before the National Day, Comrade Stalin of the Soviet Union also received a letter of help from Kim Il Sung. The next day he also sent a telegram to "Beijing", in which he expressed his views on the situation in Korea and his desire to support the Korean comrades when our army entered Korea. He said: "Judging by the current situation, if you can provide reinforcements to Korea, even if there are only 5 or 6 divisions, you should immediately march to the 38th Line, so that the Korean comrades can accumulate strength in the rear under the cover of your troops." ”
Stalin's words were undoubtedly of great importance at that time, and in a sense, this telegram also became a "congratulatory gift" for the volunteer army to enter the DPRK and China's National Day; although our country has long had the intention of entering the DPRK, the arrival of this "congratulatory gift" in the Soviet Union can indeed be seen that the situation in Korea at this time is really extremely critical.
On the same day of the first birthday of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the ROK army crossed the "38th Line", the US military urged Kim Il Sung to surrender and began to cross the line in the following days, Kim Il Sung's letter of request for help, and Stalin's telegram from the Soviet Union, these four "congratulatory gifts" from different countries on the same day of October 1, immediately made us feel that things were not good.
The final crisis prompted the 13th Corps, 6 Corps, and 300,000 troops of our Volunteer Army to secretly enter Korea in batches at various crossings on the Yalu River on October 16, 19, 25, and 26. On the 25th, the first battle between China and South Korea, the Battle of Onjeong, also began to exchange fire, and our volunteer army defeated the ROK Sixth Division in one fell swoop.
Just such a three-year-long war, on the verge of breaking out...
Why did North Korea personally command the volunteer army? What do they think! But the final outcome is reassuring
Could it be that the South Korean army on the Korean battlefield is just a burden? The idea of the U.S. military at the time was incredible
The defeat of the United States in the first battle between China and the United States was only because the intelligence of a peasant was ignored by the United States, and the consequences were unimaginable
