The warriors crossed the Yalu River and angrily fired steel guns at the jackals, and this battle made the Chinese nation rise!
When the three words of Yalu River appear in the field of vision, I think everyone can understand in their hearts that this is a very hard war.
On October 19, 1950, under the leadership of Commander Peng Dehuai and political commissar, the Chinese Volunteer Army crossed the Yalu River and rushed to the Korean battlefield.
On the 25th, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > smoke and smoke, and the volunteer army crossed the Yalu River</h1>
On October 1, 1949, the moment when New China solemnly announced to the world the founding of New China, it should have been a day of celebration for all the world, but it did not want to, and the smoke of war was everywhere, and the country was in danger.
On June 25, 1950, the Korean War broke out. Although this was a contest between the Soviet Union and the United States, the "place of the game" was chosen in our neighbor, North Korea.
At first, with the support of the Soviet Union, North Korea steadily defeated South Korean troops. In just three days, they captured Seoul, the capital of South Korea, and North Korea was a treasure.
Seeing that the pattern was about to change, in order to protect their power from infringement, on September 15, 1950, the Western countries led by the United States officially intervened in the Korean War, which made the situation that was about to be reunified instantly unpredictable.
Under the circumstances at that time, China was still in a very difficult period, New China had just been founded, and its own "family affairs" had not yet been completely resolved.
However, the US military still sent troops to North Korea, crossed the 38th line to the yalu River border, repeatedly sent aircraft to bomb the northern border villages of our country, and the old US Seventh Fleet also appeared in our country is the Taiwan Strait.
How can the land be allowed to be invaded by others! The war has burned to the doorstep, is there still no action? In the end, the upper leadership decided to send troops to North Korea.
At that time, there was still a big gap between the weapons of the volunteer army and the US army, and many troops used light weapons as the main weapon, and light weapons suffered a lot in the heavy weapons of the US army.
Especially in aviation, the enemy constantly shelled our soldiers, frantically testing and provoking, and constantly pressuring our soldiers with the story of "wolves are coming".
For these US planes that are constantly circling above, our volunteer soldiers can be said to have no pain. Because in fact, our fighters have many opportunities to shoot down their fighters, because the American planes fly particularly low.
In fact, to deal with these fighters, our volunteers can use machine guns and rifles to shoot them down. But at that time, our military law had a particularly strict military order: "We must not use light weapons against enemy aircraft, otherwise we will all be dealt with according to military law." ”
Why didn't our country allow the volunteers to strafe enemy planes? This is because of the lessons learned from the past! Too many comrades have been sacrificed!
There have been examples of aircraft shooting down before this, but in most cases, this will expose their position, which will lead to more heavy bombardment, which is very dangerous.
But the turning point came in February 1951, when this ironclad discipline was broken by an anti-war soldier named Guan Chonggui.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" > brave and ambitious heroes</h1>
Guan Chonggui, a native of Jilin Province, joined the army in 1947 and participated in the Korean War after the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began, when he was still a deputy squad leader and machine gunner.
On that day, Guan Chonggui, as usual, was stationing on the 614 heights, when suddenly, the sound of enemy planes sounded in the air.
That day, as usual, the American enemy troops circled at a low altitude over our side, throwing shells downwards, one, two, three... The whole mountain immediately turned into a burning sea of fire. Since Guan Chonggui and his teammates had built the fortress before, they were lucky to survive this sea of fire.
In the eyes of the US military, after such shelling, there should be no living people in this area. But what they didn't expect was that there was another one that appeared prominently and aimed a light machine gun in his hand at them to attack, he was Guan Chonggui! The enemy saw that there were still living people here, so they immediately called back 4 American warplanes.
Vital! Guan Chonggui saw the US military attacking from above and on land on both sides, and thought that he was going to die. So he immediately continued to hold the machine gun in his hand and strafe one of the enemy planes!
It was too late, it was fast, and seeing that black smoke was rising from the stern of this plane, and it was descending at a very fast speed, the plane was really knocked down!
After several back-and-forth encounters, Guan Chonggui and his comrades held their positions. Although he did not enter the Hall of the King of Yan, Guan Chonggui still felt uneasy, after all, he violated the iron military rules, so he was also ready to be punished by his superiors.
But unexpectedly, what Guan Chonggui was waiting for was a reward letter. When the marshal heard the news that he had shot down the enemy plane, he was very excited.
Because he had been thinking for a long time that it was not a way to always evade, and since light weapons were effective against attacking enemy aircraft, why not implement this method?
Peng Dehuai said: "Although the rules cannot be changed, we must also set out according to reality, this soldier is a good model, has made great contributions to us, and the troops can fight airplanes in the future, but we must think of the tactics of each time." ”
In this way, Guan Chonggui was not punished in any way, and he continued to work hard to become a "hero who won the battle". In the sniper battle, he was alone, fighting the enemy with his captured guns for three days and three nights, and finally waited for reinforcements.
At that time, he had not eaten for 3 days, so hungry that he could not stand, and at his side were more than 30 guns and more than 100 British corpses.
Peng Dehuai couldn't help but sigh: "You are really our hero!" Promoted! ”
In this way, Guan Chonggui was promoted to the third level!
After the Guan Chonggui plane incident, the headquarters of our volunteer army conducted a secret investigation behind its back. After checking it out, it was found that in fact, the soldiers of our army had silently destroyed 17 enemy planes, and the state had made meritorious contributions to these meritorious heroes.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="39" > conclusion</h1>
In the volunteer team, not only Guan Chonggui alone, but also many heroes have dedicated their strength, and they have destroyed enemies several times larger than themselves with their own strength.
Many people have a hard time imagining how one person can defeat hundreds of people, and this may be the power of faith!
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Chinese volunteers greeted the enemy with artillery fire, not only assisting other countries, but also effectively curbing the enemy's infiltration in Asia.
Although China suffered heavy losses in this war, it also enabled the newborn New China to stand on the world stage with a brand-new look and struggle for the peaceful development of New China for decades.
It can be said that the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea must be fought; although it was the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, China also suffered some blows in the economic field, but the reward was 100 years of peaceful development.
