In the first campaign to resist the United States and aid Korea, the volunteer army gave the US army a head-on attack and successfully smashed the US military's conspiracy to occupy North Korea in its entirety. After the end of the first campaign, both sides also took a short break and immediately began a new round of combat deployment. In order to establish a more stable rear area in the Korean battlefield, the 9th Corps was mainly responsible for the Eastern Front after entering the Korean War, and the 6 corps of the 13th Corps were mainly responsible for the Western Front.
The Second Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea ended in nearly a month, and the United Nations army led by the United States suffered heavy losses, and the volunteer army pushed the front line near the 38th Line, turning the tide of the war.
Surround Tokugawa
The Eastern Front of the Second Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was at Chosin Lake, and the 2nd, 26th, and 27th Armies of the Volunteer Army were mainly against the US First Marine Division. On the Western Front, the 8th, 39th, 40th, 42nd, 50th and 66th Armies of the Volunteer Army fought against the United Nations Army, led by the United States.
At that time, the United Nations army had thousands of warplanes and a large number of powerful artillery, and the volunteers had a variety of weapons and equipment, and the weapon comparison could not occupy any advantage. How, after nearly a month of fighting, the poorly equipped volunteers defeated the American troops on the Western Front.
On November 25, 1950, the second campaign to resist the United States and aid Korea was officially launched, and six corps of the Volunteer Army launched an attack on the United Nations army on the western front. For the volunteers on the Western Front, the capture of Tokugawa was a top priority. Because Tokugawa was an important strategic point on the Korean Peninsula, if Tokugawa was taken, the strategic hub where the United Nations army could be connected would be interrupted, which would facilitate the continuation of the front line to the south.
Therefore, the Volunteer Command asked the Volunteer 38th and 42nd Armies to quickly capture Tokugawa in order to encircle the United Nations forces on the western front.
On the evening of November 25, the 38th Army launched a fierce attack on the Tokugawa Han 7th Division, and the 112th Division rushed over the mountain to the west of Tokugawa, encountering enemy troops on the way to defeat it, and in order not to delay the march, it tied up the captured enemy troops and threw them aside, but took away a few American advisers. By 26 November, the 112th Division had successfully captured southwest of Tokugawa. The 113th Division penetrated south of Tokugawa on the 26th, cutting off the Han 7th Division from other surrounding units. The 114th Division also went to the intended battle site on the 26th to form a siege of Tokugawa with the 112th and 113rd Divisions.
Repulse the U.S. military
After Tokugawa was surrounded by the 38th Army, the Han 7th Division had no escape route, and was finally severely damaged by the volunteer army, and the strategic position of Tokugawa was successfully taken. At this time, Ningyuan on the eastern wing of Theogawa was also taken by the 42nd Army, the Han 8th Division was defeated, and the volunteer army also captured a lot of weapons and equipment. The 38th and 40th Armies of the Volunteer Army made great contributions in encircling and annihilating the American troops, and constantly forced the American troops to retreat and surrounded by the attacks of the Volunteer Army. The remaining four corps also attacked from the left flank of the American army.
The 5th Army of the Volunteer Army launched an attack on the US 1st Army, the 66th Army attacked the US 24th Division, the 39th Army attacked the US 25th Division, and the 4th Army attacked the US 2nd Division. Under the siege of the volunteers, the United Nations army began to flee southward. MacArthur had previously stated that he would end the war before Christmas, and ordered his men to retreat to the vicinity of the 38th Parallel for defense.
In the entire western front of the Second Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the 38th Army of the Volunteer Army performed outstandingly and made great contributions to cutting off the liaison hub of the US Army, and the 38th Army was also commended for this.
The second campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea annihilated more than 30,000 enemy troops on the western front, and the number of various equipment captured was huge, and this battle can be described as a complete victory, and even the US military has greatly improved the performance of the volunteer army in this campaign and does not dare to underestimate the combat strength of the volunteer army. In the entire second campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the volunteer army also paid a great price for the victory of the campaign, and they wrote the miracle of the battlefield with their lives and blood, and their fighting spirit of perseverance and not being afraid of sacrifice will forever go down in history.
