In the history of Chinese warfare, there is such a unit that fights with its life when fighting a foreign war, and vows not to rest until it defeats the enemy. However, when fighting a civil war, this unit was passive and sluggish, and it could run as long as it could go, and this "strange" army was the 60th Army of the Dian Army.
Originally belonging to the Dian Army, this army was formed by Tang Jiyao with the members of the League as the core, and it actively responded to the Xinhai Revolution and overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty's rule in Yunnan. With the passage of time, in 1937, Japan launched the Lugou Bridge Incident, And China entered the stage of all-out war of resistance, and the 60th Army left Yunnan and went to the front line of the War of Resistance.
In 1938, the Japanese army invaded Xuzhou. On April 19, the 60th Army entered the southeast of Shandong and was responsible for the Yuwangshan defense line. In the 27-day and night bloody battle, although the weapons and equipment of the 60th Army were not as good as the Japanese army, they were not afraid on the battlefield, and they fought with the Japanese army with aircraft and tanks, and strongly supported the Battle of Xuzhou.
After the battle, even the Japanese army had to admit that since the beginning of the war, such an army that ignored life and death was rare. Therefore, in order to stabilize the hearts of the army, the Japanese army said that the reason why China won the victory in the Yuwangshan blockade battle was because of the participation of Soviet commanders.
In the ensuing Battle of Taierzhuang, the 60th Army once again made a great contribution, but at the same time paid 13,000 casualties.
In July 1938, the 60th Army was expanded into the 30th Army, and immediately went to the Wuhan Battlefield to participate in the Wuhan Defense War. Later, he participated in the Battle of Nanchang, the First Battle of Changsha and the Winter Offensive in 1939, which can be described as a continuous victory.
As the Japanese attacked Southeast Asia, the 60th Army was transferred back to Yunnan to defend Kunming and participate in the Defense of the Southern Yunnan Border to block the Japanese invasion of China from Vietnam. Later, japan announced its surrender, and the 60th Army also entered northern Vietnam to accept the surrender of the local Japanese army.
However, during the Liberation War, when faced with the Platon Army whose weapons and equipment and combat quality were inferior to its own, the 60th Army, which had made outstanding achievements in battle, had no intention of fighting, and not only failed to win many battles, but also continued to revolt, especially in October 1948, the 60th Army not only revolted on its own, but also forced the newly organized 7th Army of the Kuomintang to revolt together and accept the reorganization of the People's Liberation Army.
In this way, the 60th Army was reorganized into the 50th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and in October 1950 it joined the Chinese Volunteer Army to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In the third campaign, the first to enter Seoul. In the fourth campaign, the Han River stubbornly resisted for 50 days and nights, dealing a heavy blow and depleting the effective strength of the US army, ensuring the repair and assembly of the main force of the volunteer army, and buying time for the preparation of the next battle.
On the Korean battlefield, the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army, it should be said that the 50th Army of the People's Liberation Army, has emerged 14,000 models of the whole army, with 1 regiment, 6 companies, 11 squads, and 7 groups receiving honorary titles, as well as a large number of combat heroes and special meritorious heroes, and these are all exchanged for 95 large and small battles.
In the anti-Japanese battlefield and the Korean battlefield, the 60th Army of the Dian Army almost never lost. In the civil war, you can walk away, you can not fight without fighting, I don't know if you like such a unit?
