There is such a North Korean general who came to northeast China at the age of twenty and became increasingly talented under the cultivation of our army.
He once ordered the japanese prisoners of war to be stabbed to death with bayonets and thrown into the river to feed the fish, which provoked criticism from international public opinion. But it was also that he only relied on 7,500 troops to shake the battlefield and victory and defeat, defeating more than 20,000 elite troops of the enemy army. So brave and good at war, but unknown. Who is this general, and what kind of legend does he have?
Fang Hu Shan, the name is very unfamiliar to many people, this forgotten fierce general once beat the Japanese to no return, by Japanese military experts called the dream of the mountain, the assassin of the fog. After 1955, there was no news, and some people said that he was highly successful and shocked the Lord, but what was the actual situation?
Fang Hushan was born in 1916 in North Hamgyong Province, North Korea, when Korea was fully occupied by Japan. The people's lives are like slaves, and Japanese imperialism not only robs Korea of its resources, but also restricts its development.
The North Korean people, who do not want to be humiliated, can only choose to flee. They poured into China like a tidal wave, which greatly expanded the Korean nation in the northeast of our country.
The young Fang Hushan could not bear to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland being brutally trampled by the iron horses of the Japanese army. He organized a team to resist Japan and save the country, but failed because of lack of experience. In order to avoid being pursued, Fang Hushan went into exile in northeast China.
At this time, the Two Parties announced that they would join hands against the Japanese invaders, and a large number of Koreans joined the Northeast To resist Japan. Among them were leaders and young cadres, and Fang Hushan naturally joined them. The provincial party committee believes that the top priority is to train and train this group of people as soon as possible, and Fang Hushan, as the leader of them, was sent to Russia to study.
In 1937, the young man, who was bent on saving the country, stepped on a train to Moscow. There, in addition to progressive ideas such as the history of the world revolution, Fang Hushan mainly studied guerrilla tactics, combat tactics, and command tactics.
In March 1939, Fang Hushan returned to China with other practitioners. They were faced with a grim situation in which the contradictions between the Kuomintang and the Communists intensified, leaving the North Korean cadres who were preparing to return to the northeast front helpless.
Most of the anti-Japanese coalition forces in the northeast were destroyed, and the underground organization was also seriously damaged, and at this time going to the northeast was tantamount to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and the central authorities could only disband them on the spot and arrange them into various combat units in the Yan'an area.
Fang Husheng and his companions joined the Eighth Route Army, reclaiming barren fields and digging caves to develop the economy while waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback. In 1945, Japan surrendered unconditionally.
Fang Hushan and others were incorporated into the korean volunteer army and rushed to the northeast. The Eighth Route Army preemptively captured Tonghua, which still had more than 6,000 Japanese remnants left behind and became prisoners of war. Although Tonghua is a small place, it is in a military stronghold, which has attracted the covetous attention of many forces.
The Kuomintang agents secretly colluded with the Japanese war criminals in the prisoner-of-war camp and launched a riot on the first day of the Chinese New Year, because they knew that there were only a small number of people in Tonghua City that day, and the large troops went out to suppress the bandits.
At the moment when the situation was critical, Fang Hushan rushed back to Tonghua City with the Korean Volunteer Army and the Tonghua Detachment of the Communist Party of China. They brought the riot under control in just two hours, killing not only five hundred people on the spot, but also more than three thousand prisoners.
At the end of this bloody riot, Fang Hushan's men let these prisoners wear single clothes to tonghua city in minus thirty degrees Celsius, kneel down, and stab them to death with bayonets, and all the corpses were kicked into the river water under the city. After the thawing of the Kaichun River, although the fish in the river are large and fat, no one dares to eat them, which is the famous "Tonghua Quorum".
The quelling of the rebellion brought an indelible fear effect to the remaining Japanese prisoners of war, and there have been no similar incidents since. Fang Hushan and his troops were condemned by the international community, but they did not care at the thought that the more than three thousand prisoners of war were all villains with blood-stained hands, as well as the dead people of North Korea.
During the 1946 Liberation War, the Korean Volunteer Army led by Fang Hushan was reorganized into the Independent Fourth Division of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army. They made outstanding contributions in the Sibao Linjiang and Liaoshen campaigns. During those difficult years, Fang Hushan also established a teaching team, trained more than 150 Korean cadres, and made a talent reserve for retaking the homeland from the invaders.
After the birth of New China, Fang Hushan and others also eagerly hoped to return to their homeland. At that time, American and Soviet forces divided the Korean Peninsula into two halves. Fang Hushan's heart was tormented by it all the time.
In July 1949, the Chinese government responded to the request of the Korean government to send all the Korean officers and soldiers back. These lovely warriors who once fought alongside our army are thrilled at this moment.
They finally embarked on the road home to liberate their homeland. Before returning to China, our army gave the best equipment and a large amount of ammunition supplies to the officers and men of the DPRK at that time. After entering Korea, this unit was renamed the Sixth Division of the Korean People's Army, and Fang Hushan served as the commander of the Major General Division. With the addition of this elite force, Kim Il Sung no longer had any scruples and launched the Korean War with the acquiescence of the Soviet Union.
The troops led by Fang Hushan also lived up to expectations, sometimes attacking like fierce tigers, sometimes hiding their tracks, and suddenly appearing in the rear base of the US-ROK coalition army, unexpectedly attacking them.
Fang Hushan led his troops to advance continuously, and he used tactics such as ambush warfare and sabotage warfare that he had learned during the battle in China to beat the US-Rok coalition army to the head. You don't know where the attack came from, especially in the Battle of Fengyanli, where the U.S. army gathered more than 24,000 people, 101 tanks, and two bombing squadrons, and Fang Hushan only led 7,500 remnants, but the U.S. army suffered a devastating blow. As a result, Kazewa is known as the "Valley of Blood" by the U.S. military.
Unfortunately, on September 15, the Sixteen-Nation Coalition, led by the United States, landed at Inchon, and the dream of the reunification of the Korean Peninsula was shattered. At this time, Fang Hushan's troops were in the southernmost part, and he fled while laying down a thunder array to blow up the bridge, and finally escaped.
Fang Hushan, with the remaining 2,000 men, joined the Sino-Korean joint detachment, and finally stabilized the front line with the help of the Chinese volunteers.
On July 10, 1951, an armistice was signed, and the Korean Peninsula was divided into two.
After 1955, Fang Hushan suddenly disappeared in secret, and his whereabouts have not been found until today. Some people say that he was highly successful, and some people say that he was executed for making a mistake in the Busan operation, and the truth is not known.
However, judging from the DPRK's consistent practice in the past, it is not difficult to imagine his fate, this heroic general who galloped on the battlefield did not die under the enemy's swords, guns and artillery, but evaporated in the world after the war.
