As everyone knows, China and the DPRK are interdependent in each other, have a deep relationship, are extraordinary, and are a fighting friendship condensed in blood, which is not false at all, especially during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, China's tremendous assistance to Korea, as well as post-war reconstruction, and the formation of a profound friendship.
The friendship between China and the DPRK is eternal
In history, the two countries often exchanged things and difficulties, and often communicated during the Ming Dynasty
Travel is more frequent. At that time, China exported silk, cloth, medicinal materials and other items to North Korea, and specifically allowed North Korea to buy nitrate, gunpowder and horns that were strictly prohibited from being sold by the Ming Dynasty. North Korea exports cattle, horses, paper and tarpaulin to China. Political friendly relations and economic mutual assistance promoted cultural exchanges between the two countries, and North Korea first created copper movable type printing under the influence of Chinese movable type printing, and later spread to China, promoting the exchange of characters.
However, at that time, North Korea was like The Three Kingdoms period of China, with fierce internal struggles, successive coups, and people's livelihood.
In this case, after the gradual reunification of Japan next door, the ambitions gradually grew and began to covet Korea.
Resist the Japanese invasion
In a vain attempt to invade Korea and then conquer China and India, the Japanese prime minister Toyotomi Hideyoshi began to let Korea and Japan unite to attack China, but China and Korea have been friendly for many years in history, how can they betray China? Korea refused to ally with Japan and told the Chinese Ming government about this situation, and Japan itself did not hope that Korea would really unite with it, which was just an excuse, so in the nineteenth year of the Ming Dynasty (1591), it brazenly sent more than 100,000 troops and thousands of warships to raid Korea, smuggled across the Korean Strait, landed at Busan, occupied the capital Seoul, attacked Pyongyang, and occupied a large area of land. The Japanese invaded northern Korea and reached the Yalu River, posing a serious threat to the Chinese border. The King of Korea sent envoys to the Ming government to urgently ask for help, ask for assistance, and send troops to Korea, at that time the Ming government also understood that Japan's plan for Korea meant china, and our soldiers saved Korea so as to protect China, so they decided to immediately send troops to aid Korea. History often has striking similarities, and hundreds of years later, New China sent troops to Korea to resist the United States and aid Korea.
The Sino-DPRK coalition forces destroyed Japan
Due to the strength of the Japanese army, China has twice sent additional troops to cross the Yalu River and provide large-scale assistance to Korea. Rendezvous with North Korean soldiers, and after careful deployment, marched into Pyongyang. Ming Dynasty general Li Rusong personally led the death squad to charge into the front, and encountered 30,000 elite troops of the Japanese army, the battle was very fierce, the Chinese and Korean soldiers bravely took the lead, not afraid of sacrifice, annihilated the main force of the Japanese army, and completely turned the tide of the war.
But that's just it
The initial victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was fought for seven years, which was longer than the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the price was very high; the Ming Dynasty general Deng Zilong was sacrificed in the Korean battlefield, and the famous Korean general Li Shunchen sacrificed his life for the country. In the end, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was completely won.
Perhaps the imprint left by this war on the chinese and DPRK peoples is too deep, history will not forget, the DPRK will not forget, Zhi En Tu Bao, after hundreds of years, when the Communist Party of China encountered difficulties in the northeast, the DPRK also gave us great help.
What's going on?
North Koreans help Chinese soldiers
It turned out that after the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek came down from the mountain to pick peaches in an attempt to occupy the northeast, and the strategic position in the northeast was important, and Chairman Mao ordered the troops to actively deal with it, but our troops were very poorly equipped, inferior to the Kuomintang's American equipment, unfamiliar with the land in the northeast, unable to keep up with logistical support, and at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Kuomintang troops, the Kuomintang tried to drive us out of the northeast, and our army was in a passive disadvantageous position.
More than half of the people in the People's Liberation Army that entered the northeast were empty-handed and had no weapons, because the reason was that the Soviet Union, which occupied the northeast, had great expectations and thought that it could get the strong support of the Soviet army, so many troops left their weapons in the old liberated areas of Kannai. However, although there are also troops who go to the northeast and bring all their weapons and equipment, even cotton clothes, there are too few such examples, and they cannot solve the problem.
The two peoples help each other
Not only materially, our mass ideological work in the northeast is still very weak, although there were anti-japanese alliances in the past, but under the brutal encirclement and suppression of the Japanese Kwantung Army, it has basically disappeared, and the remnants of the troops withdrew from the country and entered the Territory of the Soviet Union, waiting for the opportunity to return to China to participate in the war against Japan. Therefore, northeast China after the surrender of Japan and Kosovo is an unfamiliar region for the more than 100,000 officers and men of our army who preemptively entered the northeast, and the people there hardly understand the Communist Party. Therefore, the troops who have just arrived in the northeast are in a difficult situation:
The difficult situation of no party, no masses, no political power, no food, no funds, no medicine, no clothes, shoes and socks has greatly affected the morale of the troops.
At that time, due to Stalin's concerns, the Soviet Union did not immediately assist our army that entered the northeast, but deliberately maintained a distance from our army. Under these circumstances, more than half of the Northeast Democratic United Forces, which were bare-handed, under the heavy firepower of Chiang Kai-shek's hundreds of thousands of heavily equipped Kuomintang troops, abandoned Changchun, Jilin and other major cities after the arduous Siping Defense War and withdrew to the north of the Songhua River. The vast areas of southern Manchuria and western Manchuria, especially the main lines of communication, fell into the hands of the Kuomintang army. Most of the main force withdrew to the north of the Songhua River; Another unit remained in the Liberated Area of South Manchuria, which bordered Korea at Andong, Tonghua, and Linjiang, and struggled to support it under the heavy attack of the enemy and to support each other in an angle with the main force of Northern Manchuria that had retreated to the north of the Songhua River.
With the northeast traffic artery blocked, North Korea became the main corridor connecting southern Manchuria and northern Manchuria, and between Guannei and Guanwai.
But at this moment, North Korea made a very touching promise. After the defeat at the Battle of Siping, the Northeast Field Army was in great danger of being driven out of the country by the Kuomintang troops, at this time, the DPRK proposed that it was willing to accept the Northeast Field Army into the territory of the DPRK for rest and replenishment, and the DPRK was even willing to provide weapons and personnel. ”
On October 19, 1946, the Kuomintang army launched an offensive against the Liberated Areas, and according to the strategic transfer plan drawn up in advance, our army calmly transferred through the Territory of Korea to the Base Area of the Changbai Mountains, and at the same time transferred logistical materials, families and wounded to the territory of Korea.
More than 18,000 wounded, family members, and logisticians have been evacuated to the territory of the DPRK, and the vast majority of strategic materials have been transferred to the east of the Yalu River.
The DPRK party and government have done a great deal of work and overcome all kinds of difficulties in this regard. At that time, the DPRK had the pressure of international public opinion politically, and it was very scarce in its economy to eat, wear, and use; although it was very difficult, when it learned that the Chinese side really had practical difficulties, it resolutely decided to resettle all the wounded and sick in the DPRK and transfer more than 20,000 tons of strategic materials to the DPRK territory.
The logistical supply during the war also brought serious difficulties, so at that time, through the DPRK, the waterway transportation channel was opened to solve the problem of material transshipment and material exchange, and in order to achieve this goal, through the efforts of the DPRK, four major water and land transportation routes were opened up in the DPRK to meet China's needs.
Map of North Korea's maritime traffic
The Japanese army once built a large number of military facilities and warehouses in the north of Korea, stockpiled a large number of weapons, and after the establishment of the DPRK, it once transported more than 2,000 wagons of weapons and ammunition to our army in four times, which gave great help to our army.
In addition to weapons, the DPRK has also supported us with a large number of strategic mineral materials such as nitric acid, non-ferrous metals, cast iron, and coke, and the DPRK people, like the people in the Liberated Areas, have made hundreds of thousands of pairs of high-quality waterproof and non-slip rubber shoes for the soldiers in the northeast.
Some democratic parties and non-party personages who set out from Hong Kong to attend the New Political Consultative Conference, such as Shen Junru, Zhang Lan, Ma Sulun, Cai Tingkai, Tan Pingshan, Zhang Bojun, Guo Moruo, He Xiangning, and Liu Yazi, also took a boat to the DPRK and then to Harbin and then to Beiping. Because of the fact that there were more leaders of our Party and army passing through Korea, North Korea provided China's greatest convenience until the liberation of northeast China, and Korea's large-scale assistance to the Chinese revolution ended only then.
These selfless friendships Chinese people should always be remembered.
