The Battle of Chosin Lake was the most eye-catching battle in China's second campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea. The battle was as brutal as the Battle of Shangganling. However, with its iron will, our army finally defeated the invincible United States and struck a blow at the arrogance of the United Nations army.
The first merit of the Battle of Chosin Lake naturally fell on the commander's head. The Ninth Corps participated in the Battle of Chosin Lake, and its command was the Song Shilun.
Song Shilun was a half-life general who grew up in the flames of war and saw countless lives and deaths, but in the end, he shed his own tears at Chosin Lake.
Half-life Horse Song Wheel
General Song Shilun's favorite sentence in his life:
"Promote officials and get rich, please go elsewhere, greedy for fear of death do not enter the door."
This sentence is exactly the couplet he saw at the door of the Whampoa Military Academy when he entered the Whampoa Military Academy. Song Shilun liked this sentence very much and imprinted it in his heart.
It is precisely because of this sentence that General Song Shilun has no hesitation in moving toward the road of revolution. After graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy, Song Shilun threw himself into the revolution and later joined the Red Army. In the ranks of the Red Army, like Song Shilun, there are too few cadres in the army with high academic qualifications and military academy study experience, so Song Shilun was promoted very quickly in the ranks of the Red Army.
Song Shilun, who was only 29 years old, had already become the commander of the Red 30 Army.
Although he was already the leader of an army, Song Shilun did not slacken off because of this. Coincidentally, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out at this time, and in order to defend the country, Song Shilun threw himself wholeheartedly into the activities of the anti-Japanese resistance.
In 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, and the Song Dynasty wheel annihilated more than 2,000 enemy troops in just one year, and fought against the Japanese army more than a hundred times on a small scale.
Since the Japanese army launched the war of aggression against China, it has never suffered such a big loss on a single person. Therefore, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese army hated the Song Dynasty very much.
However, this also just shows that song shilun has the experience of old and spicy command, which can make the Japanese army suffer many losses.
Although General Song Shilun made great achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, the battle that really made General Song Shilun famous in one fell swoop was the most brutal Battle of Chosin Lake.
Participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
In fact, among the troops who first entered the Korean war, the Ninth Corps of song shilun was already in a state of combat readiness.
It can be said that at that time, if that unit could enter a state of war as soon as possible, it must be the Ninth Corps of the Song Dynasty.
The main reason was that at that time, the Ninth Corps was tasked with preparing to cross the sea to recover Taiwan at any time.
However, the United States launched the Korean Campaign, directly threatening china's northeast, and our country is well aware of the truth of cold lips and teeth, and there is no way but to put aside the matter of recovering Taiwan first and save The DPRK first.
Although things were put aside, Song Shilun had been preparing for war.
Until the volunteer army was ready to launch the second campaign, the Ninth Corps of song shilun was pulled to the most brutal Gaima Plateau and served as the main offensive corps of the Battle of Chosin Lake.
At that time, the Song Shilun Direct-Faced Force was the most elite US First Marine Division in the United States, and this army claimed to be undefeated and was the elite of the American elite.
But Song Shilun showed his strong command talent at this time.
The brutal Battle of Chosin Lake
First of all, before entering the Korean War, Song Shilun profoundly implemented the instructions of the central authorities and General Manager Peng, kept the radio silent throughout the whole process, quietly came to the Gaima Plateau, and interspersed into the rear of the US army in advance to complete the roundabout encirclement.
Therefore, the Song Shilun always let the soldiers rest in the snow nest during the day and march at night to avoid the enemy from detecting.
In the end, our Ninth Corps was all in place, and on November 27, a surprise attack on the American army was launched, and the American army was caught off guard by the sudden volunteers, although it resisted vigorously.
However, due to insufficient preparations, in the end, it still showed the appearance of a defeated army, and gradually lost and retreated.
The US military is also relatively clever, he blew up the weight that could not be carried along the way, and at the same time the plane in the sky intercepted our army's supply convoy, causing heavy losses to our army.
Chairman Mao immediately ordered Song Shilun that the US First Marine Division must be surrounded and killed and that they should not be allowed to run.
Song Shilun chased and intercepted the US First Marine Division all the way, and completely annihilated the famous Polar Bear Regiment of the United States in Xinxingli.
However, the U.S. 1st Marine Division and the 7th Infantry Division were not vegetarians, and they used bag-shaped defensive positions to launch counterattacks against our army.
Because our army has been frozen and starved, the guns and guns are often frozen and often jammed and cannot be used normally, and many charges have been intercepted by the powerful firepower of the US army.
However, the situation of the US military is also uncomfortable, after stabilizing the front, the US military also wants to launch a counterattack, but they are repulsed by our army, and the two sides are deadlocked for a time.
Under such a premise, the U.S. military panicked, and they realized that the Chinese army was consciously deadlocked with them, and if the stalemate continued like this, it might eventually face the danger of total annihilation.
So the US army ordered a breakthrough, although our army chased forward and blocked, and finally let the US First Marine Division run away.
Although it was a pity, the second battle was a total victory, and General Song Shilun showed his command talent.
Victory is a joy to be made, and our sacrifices are equally enormous.
Those lovely soldiers did not die under the enemy's artillery fire, but died in the cold of more than -forty degrees below zero.
Seeing the huge non-combat attrition figures, General Song Shilun shed tears of grief.
epilogue
The merits of General Song Shilun are beyond doubt, he has been a soldier for our country all his life, and at the age of 49, he was awarded the rank of founding general, which is an affirmation of his half-life struggle for the country. At the same time, his heroic story is more worthy of our admiration.
