In the second battle of Ninh Won and Tokugawa, the 38th Army surrounded the Korean Seventh Division and captured an American colonel adviser. The man looked very frustrated and said to deputy commander Han Xianchu, who had come to interrogate him: Your battle has been fought so well, the offensive organization is perfect, and we are like having a nightmare.
Now that it was time to capture the defeated troops, a large number of Korean defeated soldiers fled from the direction of Tokugawa, and some even ran directly into the gate of the command post of the 114th Division, frightening the guards inside the division enough to rush the chiefs to the house: You go first, we will do these dirty jobs.
Deputy Yangtze Yang Yonghui was in the command post of the 114th Division, and the guards drove him inside, and he stood there motionless, not moving at the door, and these volunteer boys were anxious to turn red, and he still thought it was very interesting. Yao Yurong, commander of the second battalion of the 342nd Regiment next to him, was so frightened that he could only let the guard squad watch the deputy commander and the division commander, and he led the troops to try to capture the prisoners.
After an afternoon of fighting, the fleeing Rok army rushed three times under the cover of aircraft artillery, and three times it was beaten down by the 38th Army. By 9 p.m., the gunfire had largely stopped. The 38th Army advanced more than sixty kilometers, killing 1,041 Roks, capturing 2,087 prisoners, capturing a large number of artillery and vehicles, shooting down an enemy plane, and capturing a colonel of the U.S. army advisory group.
Coupled with the results of the 42nd Army next to it, the Volunteer Army eliminated the Sixth Division, the Seventh Division and the Eighth Division of the Second Army of the ROK Army in the Battle of Tokugawa Ninhyuan in the Second Campaign, totaling more than 5,000 people. Since then, the name of the Second Army of the Korean Army has no longer had any meaning.
According to the war correspondent Lee Fung's book "Decisive Battle in Korea", on November 27, 1950, the US media released the news that the Second Army of the Republic of Korea Army had been completely annihilated and now ceased to exist, and there was no longer any trace of this force in the world.
The Americans all said that the ROK Second Army was completely wiped out, but we only counted 5,000 people in total to eliminate and take prisoners, and there was a big gap between the ROK Second Army, which had a total of 30,000 people. The real reason laughed off the big teeth.
It turned out that in the early days of the war, the Rok army was really too difficult to catch. After losing the battle, they desperately ran into the deep mountains and old forests, and after running in, they quietly returned home. At that time, we did not have so many troops to follow them to take prisoners. Therefore, when counting the results of the battle, it is often much lower than the actual losses of the ROK army.
Shortly after the battle, the United States published an article called "Review of the Annihilation of the South Korean Second Army at the Battle of Tokugawa." The article believes that the Chinese army is very good at concentrating superior forces to crush the enemy, they are good at launching night operations, and they have a very tenacious spirit of interspersing.
The article also pointed out that the South Korean Second Army was indeed wiped out, and the three divisions of their legion collapsed in less than 24 hours under the massive attack of the Chinese army, completing the tragedy of annihilation.
The battle was the first large-scale assault of the Chinese army on the Korean battlefield and a prelude to the Chinese army's counterattack. This counter-offensive directly led to the retreat of the coalition forces to the south of the 38th Line, and even threatened the coalition's foothold in Korea, and also allowed the coalition forces to obtain the real combat effectiveness data of the Chinese army.
Liang Xingchu could finally spit out a sullen breath in his chest, and in the first battle he was reprimanded by General Peng, and now the glory of the 38th Army was finally back. In "The Decisive Battle of Korea", it is said that the 38th Army is the main force after all. As long as they are given the opportunity, they will surely create brilliant results.
I also hope that you will read more of Li Feng's "Decisive Battle of Korea." Fang Jun, a researcher in the oral history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, said after reading the book that the decisive battle in Korea changed my misunderstanding of resisting the United States and aiding Korea. This war has brought out our national prestige and our military prestige. Mr. Li Feng's decisive battle in Korea reproduced the history of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea with magnificent momentum and condensed language.
I have finished reading this book, and I feel that the Chinese is magnificent and the visual effect is very objective. A lot of small details were described, and it was these small details that made me sincerely admire the volunteers. Just like the practice of the guard unit and the deputy Yang Yonghui that I talked about in the article, we are full of reverence for our ancestors. "Decisive Battle of Korea" has two volumes of 600,000 words, click the link below to buy.
