Before the outbreak of the Korean War, at the request of the Korean side, three Korean divisions in the Shino sequence returned to China in July 1949 and April 1950, respectively. After returning home, these three fully loaded divisions were reorganized into the 5th, 6th, and 7th Divisions respectively, becoming the absolute main force in the KPA. After the outbreak of the Korean War, the 7 main divisions of the People's Army crossed the 38th Line, defeated the ROK army, and occupied Kaesong on the first day of the war, the government on the second day, and Seoul on the third day.
The Korean People's Army then continued to march south, defeating the U.S.-Rok coalition and occupying 90 percent of the land and 92 percent of the population in less than a month. The reason why the People's Army was able to break through in the early stages of the war was that the three Korean divisions who returned from Siye were extremely meritorious, and the heroic units that had been baptized by the Liberation War had far exceeded the strong combat effectiveness of the KOREAN army at the same time. However, what is puzzling is that after the end of the Korean War, the remaining more than 10,000 people in these three divisions did not choose to live at home, but returned to the northeast of the mainland.
The main reason was that the atmosphere in Korea at that time was not very good, after the war, many generals in the Korean division were excluded, sidelined, and lost real power, and those soldiers who had made military achievements were not promoted, and the encounter of Fang Hushan was the best example. Fang Hushan came to China very early and participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation. After the liberation of Shenyang, Fang Hushan served as the political commissar of the 166th Division of the Northeast Field Army. In late July 1949, he returned to Korea fully loaded and reorganized into the 6th Division of the Korean People's Army, with Fang Hushan as the commander of the Major General Division.
After the outbreak of the Korean War, Fang Hushan led the 6th Division to capture Kaesong, then continue south, all the way to the top, on July 20 to capture Jeonju, seriously threatening the flank security of the US 8th Army. Seeing this, Walker hurriedly ordered the newly appointed commander of the US 24th Division, Major General Chaqi, to lead his troops to occupy the line from Jinju to Geumjeon to cover the flank security of the group army. Rear Admiral Chatch accepted the order and gave the task of occupying Jinju to Colonel Moore's 19th Regiment, and Moore gave the task of attacking Hedong to Mott's battalion.
After the U.S. military's movements were detected by local guerrillas, they were quickly reported to Fang Hushan. At this time, Fang Hushan had less than two battalions of troops in his hands, but he still decided to set up an ambush at the Hedong Pass and use the terrain advantage to fight the ambush of the American army. At about 8:45 a.m. on July 27, the Mott battalion all entered the ambush circle, and at the sound of Fang Hushan's order, the KPA fire that was buried on the highlands on both sides was fired in unison. After a fierce battle, most of the battalion was annihilated and the former chief of the ROK general's general staff, Cho Byung-tak, who was then an adviser to the US 19th Regiment, was also the highest-ranking general killed in the ROK army during the Korean War.
The Hedong ambush was the most outstanding ambush battle fought by the KPA, and after the war, the US army gave Fang Hushan a very high evaluation, calling the 6th Division of the KPA a "ghost force". Immediately afterward, Fang Hushan led the 6th Division to severely damage the US 5th Reinforcement Regiment in Fengyanli, almost completely annihilating the regiment, and Fengyanli was also called a "valley of bloodshed" by the Americans. After the Inchon landing, the main force of the Korean People's Army was cut into two sections and suffered heavy losses, but the 6th Division, led by Fang Hushan, successfully broke through by means of minefields, bridge destruction and small troop blockade, and returned to the north with minimal losses.
In recognition of Fang Hushan's outstanding military exploits, he was awarded the title of "Double Hero" and promoted to the rank of Commander of the 5th Army. On August 18, 1951, in order to capture the 983rd, 940th and 773rd heights guarded by Fang Hushan, Van Vliet mobilized the strength of several regiments of the Han 5th Division, the Han 7th Division and the US 2nd Division, and launched a continuous onslaught with the cooperation of 7 artillery battalions and 3 tank companies. Fang Hushan commanded troops to fight the enemy for 21 days and nights on three hills, killing and wounding more than 16,000 enemy troops, including 2,772 American casualties. The blood of american soldiers stained the entire hillside red, and these three highlands were called blood-stained ridges by the American army.
Not content with defeat, VanVleet organized his troops to launch Operation Bird claw in a vain attempt to capture the 931 Highland Group and wipe out fanghushan in one fell swoop. As a result, the defeat was even worse, the U.S. army lost more than 3,700 people, and after the war, the 931 Highland Group was called "Sadness Ridge" by the Americans. "Valley of Blood", "Blood Stained Ridge" and "Sadness Ridge", just listening to these names shows how big the psychological shadow of Fang Hu Mountain has left on Americans. However, after the end of the Korean War, Fang Hushan, who had made great achievements in battle, was transferred from the army to teaching, and was purged and killed shortly after. Fang Hushan's experience is not unique among the Korean divisions, who have been ostracized and unhappy in North Korea. At the same time, most of their relatives are in the northeast of the mainland, and they have been given land, and their lives are better than in North Korea. Therefore, most of these people have chosen to return to the northeast of the mainland to live, and the number is as high as more than 10,000.
The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a national war on the mainland, and this battle brought out military and national prestige, which made the whole world look at New China with astonishment. Written by the famous writer Li Feng
