In 1950, the mighty People's Volunteer Army crossed the Yalu River and joined the Korean People's Army in resisting the "United Nations Army" led by the US military, and the United States launched an attack on the Korean Peninsula in order to determine the world hegemony after World War II and prevent the rise of China, and also to monitor the Soviet Union in East Asia.
Affected by the Yalta Agreement, the areas under which the US military was surrendered and the areas where the US military was surrendered were distributed on the Korean Peninsula at the north and south of the 38th parallel. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was the "founding war" of New China, and it was also another vicious battle after the War of Resistance Against Japan, but we played with momentum and self-confidence.
In the early days of the war, our People's Volunteer Army was very brave, and the first three battles were repeatedly won, and the enemy who fought was defeated and retreated one after another, and once retreated to the 37th parallel north, which also caused panic among the "United Nations Army".
The first victory
The First Battle of Yunshan, which lasted for two months, made the United Nations Army realize the greatness of the People's Volunteer Army, and with its tenacious will and flexible tactics, it often caught the enemy off guard, so that china's three eastern provinces did not have to worry about it all day, and greatly shocked the "United Nations Army."
Seeing this scene, The commander-in-chief of the US army, Mark Arthur, did not feel panicked, and even did not hesitate to use the words of "using atomic bombs to force the people's liberation army to retreat", which was obviously shocked by us and had been defeated mentally.
The commander of the U.S. Eighth Army, Walker, was killed in a car accident, and at the same time, ridgway, a fellow West Point military academy, took his place and hurried from the United States to North Korea, but his tactics were not rushed at all.
Although the division is out of the same door, but Walker and Ridgway's tactics can be said to be very different, Ridgway has a cool head and rational thinking, he will face the chaotic American army and tense war situation.
The morale of the US and ROK troops that were hit by the volunteer army was greatly reduced, the whole army was up and down, they had no intention of fighting, and all they could choose was to flee south, of which the ROK army was even more defeated by the momentum, and when retreating, they were all weak in their hands and feet, greedy and afraid of death like deserters, and fled southward.
Our army secretly learned that the enemy had changed its head, and for a while it was unclear about this person's tactics, but most people still felt that taking advantage of the victory to pursue the pursuit might have a greater chance of winning, because there was intelligence that the "United Nations Army" had set up a defensive line in Seoul, South Korea, and had the meaning of a battle.
And we are not willing to show weakness, in the third attack launched, in three days to crush the heavily guarded Seoul fortress, Peng Dehuai listened to the happy blossoms, can't wait to further attack, take it in one fell swoop.
U.S. military conspiracy
At this time, the officers and men of our army were all immersed in the good news of the great victory, but there was a person who was like a needle felt, and felt that there was something wrong with taking down the defense line of the "United Nations Army" so easily, and he was Han Xianchu.
Han Xianchu, born in February 1913 in Hong'an County, Hubei Province, is a general in the army of our People's Liberation Army, who has made countless meritorious achievements in his life, participated in the agrarian revolutionary war when he was young, and participated in the 25,000-mile Long March.
His extensive combat experience kept him alert at all times, so when the third offensive achieved a great victory, he remained calm and analyzed the battle situation to see the clues.
Later we learned that Ridgway was deliberately defeated this time, he knew that our country's economic strength at that time was very poor, logistics could not keep up, we more adopted the tactics of quick battle and quick decision, he deliberately temporarily lost the battle, lured the enemy to go deeper, lured us deep into South Korea, the longer the front line was drawn, the more difficult it was for our supplies to follow up, and then take the opportunity to launch an offensive and reverse the situation.
After Han Xianchu analyzed, he determined the insidious tactics of the US army, and when Mr. Peng was ready to launch a further attack, he was the first to stand up and said the complete opposite of Peng Dehuai's ideas, and analyzed to him the reasons why they should not pursue now, as well as the possible ideas and tactics of the US army.
Although Han Xianchu moved to understand his feelings, Peng Dehuai was still very unhappy after hearing it, after all, some people questioned his strategic vision and were also unconfident in his own troops.
At this time, Han Xianchu explained the situation in more detail, our army's equipment was backward, the supply could not keep up, and the Seoul fortress that had been carefully arranged would not be taken so easily, there must be deception in this, this battle did not have a fatal blow to the enemy, only a temporary retreat, which was obviously tempting us.
Wise decision-making
After all, Peng Dehuai is also a person who has seen the wind and waves and experienced hundreds of battles, but he was blinded by victory for a while, and after listening to Han Xianchu's detailed analysis, he thought about it, it is true that this is not the best time to attack, the insidious cunning of the US military is also obvious to all, coupled with the advanced equipment of the US military, the US military is likely to already know our intelligence.
After a series of reflections and discussions, Peng Dehuai finally decided to "stop the pursuit and rest on the spot", this order later saved the lives of countless people's volunteers, and thanks to this wise decision, we reflected on the problems we faced and did not suffer further damage.
The US military really laid down the defensive line this time, waiting for the people's volunteers to chase after the turtle in the urn, but they did not expect to wait for a long time, a conspiracy flew out, and the knowledge learned in the military academy at this time still did not have the actual combat experience of the veteran generals.
As the saying goes, "arrogant soldiers must be defeated" is reasonable, a temporary victory is not a success of a lifetime, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, when we encounter a happy thing, do not blindly immerse ourselves in the superficial glitz, may be hidden behind a big conspiracy, to step by step for the camp to think calmly, in order to calmly, more and more courageous.
brief summary:
The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea with the help of the Soviet Union still won the final victory, but we should thank those soldiers who threw their heads and spilled their blood on the battlefield, as well as the shrewd and capable generals, without their careful thinking and layout, it is difficult for us to show our might on the battlefield of others.
A few days ago, we solemnly welcomed the return of the remains of the martyrs of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and they can finally return to the embrace of the motherland and get our admiration, their glory is worthy of our eternal memory, and their pain has cast an iron wall of the copper wall of our country's comprehensive national strength today.
