In June 1951, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, with the cooperation of the Korean People's Army, had annihilated more than 230,000 enemy troops and driven the enemy from the Yalu River to the 38th Line.
The emergence of this stalemate was beneficial to the Volunteer Army and unfavorable to the American Army.
The so-called "United Nations Army" led by the United States has suffered heavy losses after five battles, and the Americans have to admit:
The Korean War was a bottomless pit, and there was no hope of victory for the UN forces. ”
Wanting to attack, and losing the ability to attack strategically, the Americans began to consider armistice negotiations to end the war.
But if they just sit down to negotiate, the US Government believes that it is not conducive to its own side to get more benefits, so at the beginning, the Americans wanted to use war to promote peace, talk while fighting, and then pull the volunteers to the negotiating table after some victories on the battlefield to strive for more favorable conditions.
On July 10, 1951, the negotiators of the korean war began armistice negotiations in Kaesong, but the American side was insincere, and at the beginning it was entangled with some trivial issues, and on the third day, the American side interrupted the meeting on the grounds of journalists' news interviews, and then tried to put the military demarcation line behind our army's positions, in an attempt to raise 12,000 square kilometers of land without a fight.
When the demands were refuted, the Americans clamored again."
Let bombs, cannons and machine guns debate it!
This was followed by a summer offensive in a vain attempt to force us to comply with "military pressure."
Subsequently, on August 19, Yao Qingxiang, a volunteer soldier who was on a guard mission in the Kaeska City Neutral Zone, was assassinated by the US and Lee troops, and not only that, the US military also sent planes to bomb the residence of the representatives of the negotiating group.
If you want to start a war with the US troops in the Kaesong area, the most important thing is to build fortifications, and as the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea entered the second stage, because the supply lines were too long and the Americans were bombarded indiscriminately, it was unrealistic for the volunteer army to launch a large-scale campaign war annihilation war again, so it turned to position warfare.
The volunteer army overcame difficulties, and Fu Chongbi's 63rd Army alone built 65,080 meters of tunnels and 330,350 meters of trench communication trenches, which could not only defend and attack, but even live inside, just like a huge underground city.
When the volunteer army had just turned to the defense of Kaesong, the enemy relied on its superior equipment and strong defensive positions, arrogant and arrogant, often basking in groups of three or five on the mountain, playing poker, and even singing and dancing with women in their arms.
In order to combat the arrogance of the enemy, the Volunteer Army organized a cold gun campaign to "
Zero knock brown candy
"The tactics of attacking the enemy, squeezing the position little by little, and the development of the cold gun and cold artillery movement have made the enemy suffer hardships, frightened into the fortifications and dare not show their heads, do not change the sentry during the day, do not deliver food, do not carry the wounded, do not drag dead bodies, and even urinate in canned boxes and thrown out.
At the same time, the divisions and regiments also sent small detachments to ambush and sneak up on the enemy, leaving them exhausted.
This kind of small operation did achieve good results, but at the same time, the volunteer army did not give up the focus of the attack on the enemy, in the front position of the volunteer army, the enemy occupied the area of Yuandong, directly controlled Panmunjom, and the mountainous terrain protruding in the east was condescending, posing a great threat to the volunteer army.
Fu Chongbi, commander of the 63rd Army, immediately organized troops to launch a fierce attack on these heights, took them down in one fell swoop, and smashed the enemy's counterattack many times, firmly holding it in his hands.
This is the only strategy that both sides believe is the only strategy at present, but the DPRK negotiations have encountered obstacles at the beginning, originally the two sides had agreed that Kaesong was the place of negotiation, a neutral zone, and could not be bombed, but the arbitrariness of the Americans at the negotiating table made our representatives very angry, and the Americans let the plane bomb the residence of the Representatives of China and the DPRK when they got off the negotiating table. The venue for negotiations was shifted from Kaesong to Panmunjom.
From the end of 1951 to 1952, the entire negotiations were in a stalemate, in a word, the Americans were still unconvinced, under the premise of not being able to launch a large-scale movement war, the small-scale operations of the volunteer army never stopped, and the enemy's casualties were increasing, and many people thought that the front line
There was no movement, no article, in fact, what really made the Americans willing to sit at the negotiating table was precisely the non-stop blows of the volunteers after the armistice negotiations.
After the negotiations began, the U.S. army transferred the ace 1st Marine Division to strengthen the Panmunjom area and launched a continuous offensive against the Volunteer Army, occupying The 159th Heights, which were originally controlled by the 63rd Army.
159 heights north steep south, the terrain is dangerous, is a prominent part of the enemy's defense system, before the start of each negotiation, the U.S. army will use artillery fire to the volunteer positions, in order to eliminate the enemy's direct pressure on Panmunjom, Fu Chongbi decided to seize the 159 heights.
The volunteer army quickly captured this high ground in the form of a surprise attack, and consolidated it, the US army could not take it down, after 7 months of defensive operations, the volunteer army continued to approach the enemy positions, so that the front-line defensive positions gradually pushed forward, improving the defensive posture.
By the autumn of 1952, the Korean War situation continued to be in a state of confrontation, and the armistice negotiations were also interrupted for a long time, and it was in a stalemate, in which both sides were making new plans and preparations for winning and maintaining the initiative on the battlefield.
In order to cooperate with the political activities at home and abroad, there were signs that the U.S. army was going to land on the flank rear of the peninsula and launch a local attack on the volunteer army, and Fu Chongbi immediately rushed to the haizhou front line with his troops after receiving the order.
The political situation in the United States was changing again and again, and at the end of 1952, U.S. presidential candidate Eisenhower, taking advantage of the Americans' desperate desire to end the Korean War as soon as possible, publicly promised that after his election, he would "
Personally go to Korea and end this war.
Thus, he was successfully elected as the 34th President of the United States.
After Eisenhower brought people to the Korean battlefield for investigation and discussion, he decided that if the negotiations could not be successfully completed within a certain period of time, then the US military would launch an all-out offensive at all costs, and the Korean War could not continue indefinitely.
To this end, Clark began to deploy to carry out a landing operation on the east and west coasts, but the Volunteer Army had long been aware of this, in order to cope with the possible attack of the American Army, the Volunteer Army built a large number of fortifications in the coastal area, and seeing the situation, the American Army had to abandon the landing plan that was not very successful.
The Volunteers' summer counterattack put the Americans at the negotiating table again and signed an armistice.
In the nearly one-year period of fighting and stopping, it is precisely because of the uninterrupted cold gun and cold artillery movement of the volunteer army that the US army has suffered more and more casualties, but it is unrealistic to launch a large-scale attack, and between the dilemmas, only the truce is the best way.
Promote peace with war
"Achieved the expected goal.
