In 1953, our army emptied the home of the "White Tiger Regiment," south Korea's most elite unit, in just 14 minutes
Text/No Counting Reading History
South Korea once established a "Capital Division", which brought together a large number of elite South Korean soldiers, and many senior South Korean officials called it the "main force of the National Defense Force".
The "Capital Division" once achieved good results in the war in Xiangyang, and the supreme leader of South Korea, Syngman Rhee, personally awarded the "Tiger Head Banner" to him.
The "Capital Division" was also renamed the "White Tiger Regiment".
All in all, this is a very strong team.
01 Beginnings
In July 1953, the Battle of Gimseong had just begun, and the volunteer army used powerful fire as a cover to quickly open the front line of South Korea.
The commander of the Volunteer Army also issued an order to prepare a surprise attack on the headquarters of the "White Tiger Regiment" to knock out the enemy's elite "brain" in one breath.
The fighters quickly occupied the high ground, opening a path for the reconnaissance forces.
02 Raid
The soldiers put on the uniforms of South Korean soldiers and the steel helmets on their heads, which were a bit fake.
At this time, the attention of the South Korean troops was attracted by the offensive of the volunteers in the front, but the monitoring behind the defensive line was greatly relaxed.
The warriors' opportunity came, and they crossed several enemy checkpoints and slowly approached the Erqing Cave.
There, the headquarters of the White Tiger Regiment is located.
The warriors quietly observed the enemy's deployment, and secretly thought about the best offensive position in their minds.
"Ready!" The fighters checked their guns again, pulled out grenades, and threw them toward the enemy's war room.
With a loud bang, grenades exploded in front of the war room, and two South Korean sentries were hit by several pieces of shrapnel and immediately fell.
The South Korean soldiers were alert, and they quickly entered the position, and several more soldiers quickly surrounded the war room.
But two bullets burst from the muzzles of the volunteer soldiers, and the two sharpshooters of the People's Liberation Army had already aimed at the enemy machine gunners, decisively ending their lives.
"Rush!" The warriors came out of their intended offensive positions, their fingers constantly pulling the trigger, hitting one deadly bullet after another into the enemy's body.
The South Korean soldiers rose up to fight back, but it was at this moment that the sound of submachine guns sounded, and many volunteer soldiers suddenly rushed out from both sides of the White Tiger Regiment headquarters.
The South Korean soldiers at the front were quickly killed, and the fighters hid in the nearest bunker and opened fire on the enemy surrounding the war room.
03 Victory
Seeing that the situation was grim, the soldiers outside the combat room did not dare to fight, and several enemy soldiers rushed into the war room, trying to grab the commander who was lying on the ground at this time and take him away.
But how could the volunteer soldiers who had infiltrated in the hard work be fruitless, and the soldiers armed with submachine guns and Czech weapons became commandos, stood up from behind the bunkers, and suppressed the enemy's fire.
"Kill!" The warriors rushed out and rushed to the enemy's combat room.
Some warriors threw the enemy down, some soldiers threw their guns at the enemy's head, and some soldiers stabbed the enemy's abdomen with a shiny bayonet.
The remaining fighters quickly rushed into the battle room and killed all the enemy soldiers who still wanted to resist.
And that's only fourteen minutes.
The hometown of south Korea's elite unit, the "White Tiger Regiment," was stolen, and for a time, the command system of South Korea was in disarray, and the reputation of the White Tiger Regiment was greatly reduced.
