When it comes to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, I believe that every Chinese is still fresh in our minds. In the 1950s, the Chinese Volunteer Army went to fight in Korea, and after a bloody battle, it finally ended with the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement between the two sides, and won the final victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. But during this period, the intensity of countless wars was completely unimaginable.
In 1951, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea entered the second stage, and the tenacious volunteer army finally made the US army difficult, and at this moment, they realized that the willpower of this poorly equipped army was tenacious and terrible, and even the heavily armored US army was extremely difficult to move forward.
But in fact, in an active and arduous combat environment, the volunteer soldiers quickly adapted to the local environment, and even invented a kind of "air explosion" play, which directly caused the US military to be seriously damaged, and the US military even thought that the volunteer army suddenly had high-tech weapons. What's going on?
In October 1952, the United Nations army encountered a stalemate that could not advance the war, so it was believed that the Chinese troops stationed on the 537.7 heights were blocking the situation, and they prepared to take the 537.7 highlands as the key target. However, the terrain of the 537.7 highland is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can be retreated and attacked, and its strategic position is very important. To this end, the United Nations army deliberately formulated a detailed "showdown operation" plan in an attempt to ensure that the clearance activities were foolproof.
But this so-called deliberate operation made a huge mistake from the beginning. In desperation, the US army had to directly cover the volunteer positions. How intense was the artillery fire in this operation? The UN army launched 300 artillery pieces, 27 tanks, and 40 aircraft and began to bombard, and the volunteers hiding in the tunnels felt that the whole earth was trembling, and they were like bumpy boats on the sea.
Such a fierce bombardment lasted for 1 hour, after which the U.S. army sent well-equipped infantry to start charging, and a small number of volunteer garrisons were forced to fight fiercely with the American army. Although the volunteers were already resisting vigorously, under the continuous bombardment of the American army, the hills of the two highlands were partially cut off, but on the other hand, the volunteers' stubborn support was not able to let the Americans capture this high ground.
At this moment, the volunteers were faced with a huge problem, namely, the lack of ammunition, especially the most powerful counterattack weapon grenades in this terrain, which were almost exhausted. The few remaining volunteer soldiers gathered together and began to think of a way, and it was clear that in order for the remaining missiles to be of maximum value, they would have to use them to blow up more enemies.
A warrior named Cai Xinghai found that by bringing the enemy closer and throwing the grenade that pulled out the lead until the last second, he could blow up a piece of the enemy at once. This is the "air explosion" plan that makes the US military feel frightened. In the end, there were a total of 9 volunteer soldiers left, and with this style of play, they performed a miracle and eventually eliminated more than 400 enemies, which made the U.S. military believe that the volunteers used high-tech weapons.
However, they must not have thought that this was actually Cai Xinghai's experience summed up from playing firecrackers as a child.
