War is also a wisdom, since ancient times, our country has a unique understanding and study of war, fighting a war is not a competition, not just pay attention to the strength of the body, martial arts or fierce and brave, in the battlefield ingenious planning can often be four or two thousand pounds, to achieve the effect of surprising victory.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China gave birth to works on the way of using soldiers, and some of these classic masterpieces have been handed down to the present day and still play a guiding role in modern warfare.
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the volunteer troops used all kinds of military methods summarized by their ancestors to fight against the US army, and in the Battle of Feihu Mountain, when MacArthur learned that the Chinese troops who had been holding out for five days chose to withdraw, he proudly thought that the Chinese troops were no more than this, but what he did not know was that the volunteer army had dug a trap and waited for him to take the bait of this big fish.
Lure the enemy deeper
On the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, although the morale of the Chinese volunteers was high, their equipment was backward, and their logistics were also far behind those of the advanced American troops.
Therefore, in the course of combat, our army will make use of all favorable factors to attack the enemy's weakness with its own advantages, and "enticing the enemy to go deep" is a more commonly used strategy among them.
The plan of "luring the enemy deeper" was put forward by Commander Peng Dehuai, the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, and this style of play was like fishing, first letting a non-main force attract the enemy's firepower, and then pretending to be overwhelmed and retreating, thinking that the enemy who had the upper hand would chase after him like a fish that saw the bait, and would eventually be introduced into the encirclement set up by our large troops, and finally ended by a nest, and the 335th Regiment of the Volunteer Army was a bait thrown out of this plan.
At that time, the American troops on the Western Front were marching north under the command of MacArthur, and at the forefront were the First Division of the American Army and the Seventh Division of South Korea, at this time the Volunteer Army was assembling, and the direction of the United Nations Army was the rear of the Volunteer Army's assembly area, and if the enemy was allowed to march, it would inevitably pose a great threat to our army.
After some research, the Volunteers believed that the UN army had to pass through if it wanted to go north, and that there happened to be a high mountain cliff here, which was a good place to snipe.
After a central study, Flying Tiger Mountain was chosen as the location for this sniper mission, and the heavy responsibility of sniping fell to the 335th Regiment.
The general of the 335th Regiment, Fan Tianen, was a native of the Northeast, and he had a nickname in the regiment called "Fan Bold", and in the War of Resistance Against Japan, he followed the troops to fight on the battlefield.
After the founding of New China, this heroic boy also set up his own family on the land of the motherland, but the sweet life did not last long, the horn of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea sounded again, and Fan Tianen put down his children and turned back to the battlefield.
The 335th Regiment led by Fan Tian'en was not the main force of the volunteer army, and it was appropriate to make bait in this plan, but this "bait" was not something that any unit could do, and if you wanted to lure the enemy, you had to lure the enemy to the bait and withstand the enemy's attack.
After all, the gap in military strength between China and the United States is large, if the strength of the troops is too weak, other troops have not had time to reinforce, the "bait" has been eaten by the enemy, then the result is bound to be more than worth the loss.
After intense discussion and selection, the 335th Regiment was chosen to serve as the "bait" of the plan, shouldering the heavy responsibility of blocking the enemy at Flying Tiger Mountain.
Tough resistance
After receiving the order, Fan Tianen led the warriors to flying tiger mountain, but they did not know that their mission was to serve as "bait", and the 335th Regiment received the order to intercept and annihilate the enemy.
Flying Tiger Mountain has a special geographical location, if the enemy cannot be stopped here, then the us military's northward march will be unimpeded, and going north along the road can threaten China's border security.
The soldiers of the 335th Regiment deeply understood the importance of this blockade mission, and they rushed to Flying Tiger Mountain before they had time to rest.
However, in previous battles, in order to lighten up, some warriors had thrown away all the shovels and pickaxes for digging the fortifications, and now it was too late to deploy new tools from the rear, and they could only dig with bayonets and hands.
The mud on the mountain was mixed with all kinds of stones, and even if the warriors had calluses on their hands, they would soon be cut by sharp stones, and the excavated soil was mixed with rain and the blood of the warriors, but no one stopped.
On 6 November, war broke out between the two armies, with the South Korean Seventh Division being pushed to the forefront of the battlefield as cannon fodder, while the Americans coordinated their attack in the rear.
At dawn, enemy aircraft and artillery began to bombard the positions of the 335th Regiment in turn, and the three rows at the top became the focus of the attack.
Even when coordinated, the military strength of the U.S. army was still frightening, the shells poured down like raindrops, flattening everything on the mountain, and the soldiers of the three platoons relied on the fortifications built before to support themselves, repelling the enemy's attack many times and carrying it through the day.
But at night, the enemy still had no intention of stopping, they were set on fire by the fallen trees and dry grass, so that the soldiers of the three platoons were shrouded in smoke, and they once again attacked the positions of the three platoons by relying on visual obstacles.
However, our line of sight was blocked, and the field of vision of the attacking enemy was naturally not much better, and the soldiers of the three platoons all drew their attention to the highest level, holding grenades in their hands to hide, and when the enemy approached, they threw grenades to force the South Korean soldiers to retreat.
During the course of the day, the enemy launched a full seven attacks, and although the soldiers of the three platoons fought back without taking the enemy forward, they also paid a terrible price, more than half of the fighters were killed or wounded under enemy fire, and this was the beginning of the war.
After a day of fighting, the cadres of the sixth company, except for the deputy company commander, were all sacrificed, and the soldiers on the position could only support themselves bitterly, and at night the enemy stopped attacking and gave us the opportunity to sort out, but at dawn the next day, planes and artillery came again.
The soldiers on the position not only had to fight fiercely with the enemy under artillery fire, but also had to endure the invasion of hunger, and during the 5 days of holding out, the dry food of the 335 regiment had reached the bottom, and the soldiers even began to chew rubble to fill their stomachs.
But even so, our troops and the enemy have repeatedly fought 16 battles to seize positions, and even if they want to fight naked, they have no intention of retreating.
Dawn is coming
The 335th Regiment did not have any weapons on the battlefield that could pose a threat to American aircraft, which made the American aircraft even more arrogant and wantonly launched air raids over the positions of the 335th Regiment, but even under such unfavorable conditions, the 335th Regiment killed two thousand enemies.
When the battle was fierce, the central government issued an order for the 335th Regiment to retreat, and the plan to "lure the enemy deeper" was officially launched.
Hearing the news that the 335th Regiment was to retreat 30 kilometers, Fan Tian'en was the first to jump out and disagree, he did not know the plan of his superiors, thinking that this order would make him abandon the position, but after repeated orders from the division commander, he still withdrew with his troops with dissatisfaction and withdrew from Feihu Mountain, which had been held for five days.
In fact, what Fan Tianen did not know was that because of their obstruction, the speed of the UN army's northward advance had slowed down significantly, and Peng zong was worried that Fan Tianen's troops would beat MacArthur to change his plan, so he decided to transfer the 335th Regiment to create an illusion for the American side.
After the retreat of the 335th Regiment, the happiest was the American troops, and Fan Tianen also knew the central plan after the retreat, so he lured the enemy to continue to advance according to the spirit of the central government.
The 335th Regiment was no longer the iron wall of the copper wall that was stuck in the position, but became the ghost of a shot to change places, they pretended to block the enemy on the hill, quickly retreated when the enemy attacked, and occupied the empty position of the American army on the ground and fired two more shots to lure the enemy to continue to advance.
Fighting guerrilla warfare is the housekeeping skill of the volunteers, so that the enemy can not touch the style of play is the favorite of the volunteers, and in this way, the United Nations army, under the guidance of the volunteers, step by step towards the trap that has been set.
These troops probably never dreamed that the "remnants of the defeated generals" they were pursuing were the "bait" released by the Chinese side, and every step they took was in the plan of the volunteer army.
brief summary:
In order to be able to complete the task of "enticing the enemy to go deeper", the volunteer army can be said to have formulated a detailed plan, in addition to showing the appearance of defeat and retreat on the battlefield, the volunteer army also has a unique plan for how to treat prisoners of war.
Not only will our forces not kill enemy prisoners, but they will deliberately reveal to them the signal that we are short of food and medicine and ready to retreat, and then release these prisoners of war back into the enemy camp.
In this way, the captives who returned would convey the false information deliberately released by our side, further confuse the opponent, and if our performance on the battlefield was not convincing enough, then the information conveyed by our own people would certainly convince the enemy, and in this way, MacArthur, who was in the dark, self-righteously commanded the American troops all the way north, and finally stepped into the trap dug by the volunteers.
