The U.S. military took advantage of the shortcomings of the volunteer army to counterattack, and the volunteer army came up with new tactics to win the U.S. military to sign an armistice
The outbreak of the Korean War, the U.S. military is strong, once said that it would end the war before Christmas, only to encounter the Chinese Volunteer Army, in the first three battles suffered a fierce blow, due to MacArthur's poor combat, was directly removed from his post, Ridway took over as the commander-in-chief of the United Nations Army.
Ridgway was not so arrogant, but more cautious, he knew that in order to defeat the volunteer army, he must understand the volunteer army, and he also set up a special war room to study the weapons and supplies of the volunteer army.
Then he found that the weakest link in the Chinese Volunteer Army was the poor supply capacity. Unlike the abundant supplies of the American army, the volunteers only sent supplies once before the battle, and they had to last until the end of the battle.
This is because the volunteer army does not have air superiority, although it has been transporting supplies, but it has been blown up by the US army, and it is impossible to send it to the front line in time.
Ridgway found a problem, that is, the volunteer army can only last for 7 days at a time, and more than 7 days will run out of ammunition, so he formulated a battle plan, deliberately allowing the US army to delay the battle time and wait until 7 days later to launch an attack.
According to this plan, the U.S. army in the fourth campaign to contain the Chinese volunteers offensive, how to crack Ridgway's fierce move? At that time, Mr. Peng left the front line for surgery, and Deng Hua served as the acting commander-in-chief. Chairman Mao recalled him to China and together they thought of a way.
In the past, the volunteer army mainly focused on large-scale annihilation battles, but in the face of the US troops who avoided fighting, they played a smaller and smaller role, and they should change their tactics.
The "zero knock on the candy" strategy is the same as the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army period, which is broken into pieces and broken. Although guerrilla warfare can only achieve small victories each time, it accumulates into big victories.
After Deng Hua returned, he immediately canceled the plan for large-scale operations and used guerrilla warfare to annihilate small groups of enemies one by one. Back in the Korean battlefield, the volunteer army, under the command of Deng Hua, began to strengthen the fortifications, first holding the position, and then using small units to fight guerrilla warfare, gradually encroaching on the isolated positions of the US army, and finally achieving fruitful results.
The new tactics of the Volunteers, perfectly avoiding the undersupply, shattered the American dream of trying to overwhelm us by dragging us down. The volunteer army also began a silent "cold gun" attack, using snipers to kill the enemy in the shadows, such as Zhang Taofang, who was known as "volunteer sharpshooter", "cold gun hero", and "Shangganling sniper".
As individual soldiers become more and more equipped, and the armor of the tanks becomes thicker and thicker, it is not easy to eliminate them. However, in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the volunteer army could destroy an enemy with 2 bullets, and 30 shells could destroy a tank, defeating the myth of the invincibility of the US army.
Using this new tactic, the Chinese Volunteer Army beat the UN forces back to the 38th Parallel and forced the US military to sign the "Korean Armistice Agreement", winning the final victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
This was Chairman Mao's great wisdom, and during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a protracted war was formulated, which made the Eighth Route Army's ranks grow stronger and stronger, and eventually drove out the Japanese. This time, the "zero knock candy" tactic beat the Americans away again.
