In July 1950, the Korean People's Army eliminated a battalion of U.S. troops, killing at least 313 U.S. soldiers and capturing more than 100, and one surviving U.S. soldier recalled: "They [the Korean People's Army] chased and beat us like rabbits fleeing from a wildfire." "The U.S. military even took off combat boots, clothes and even weapons when they fled.
This historical material, from the "Korean War" written by American war history experts, is extremely credible, because from any point of view, Americans will not smear themselves.
After World War II, the veterans of the United States who participated in World War II were basically demobilized, but the sudden outbreak of the Korean War, Kim Il-sung's Korean People's Army, all the way to defeat the South Korean army, was simply destroyed, and MacArthur, the "Emperor Taishang" in Japan, had to fill in the US troops near Japan first.
The 29th Infantry Regiment was originally on duty at Okinawa, usually to deal with daily business and maintain public order, equivalent to the police force, on the combat effectiveness, in the US military combat sequence can not be ranked at all, but because of the urgency of the war, it was transferred to Japan, the superior promised that at least one and a half months of training will be transferred to the Korean battlefield, but only stayed in Japan for one night, these soldiers who do not know how to use the M-1 rifle, sent to the Korean battlefield.
Of course, such an arrangement was nothing short of murder, and Colonel Tony, the commander of the 29th Regiment, complained to his superior, the 8th Army, who also felt that training was really needed, and told Tony that he could do intensive training in Busan for three days before going into battle.
However, the commander of the 8th Army, Lieutenant General Walker (the general who was killed by his own car in the second battle), was really urged by MacArthur to do nothing, and on July 24, the regiment arrived in Busan without training at all, and was sent directly to the Jinju battlefield.
At that time, the chief of staff of the us three-service joint meeting also knew about this matter, but did not stop it.
As a result, two days later, the 3rd Battalion of the 29th Regiment arrived at the front line for a few hours, and entered the ambush circle of the Korean People's Army, and the machine guns on the mountainsides on both sides fired fiercely at the American troops.
As a result, the U.S. infantry scrambled to cross a mountain stream, which was 8 meters wide, and the U.S. military took off its boots and clothes and even threw away its weapons in order to facilitate swimming, while the Korean People's Army rushed to the edge of the stream and shot a large number of American troops unhurriedly.
Two months later, after the U.S. army recaptured the area, the death registration team found as many as 313 decomposing bodies, a large number of American troops were missing, and more than 100 American troops were captured by the North Korean army.
Later, as the U.S. military's powerful military mobilization capabilities began to operate, a large number of veterans who had participated in World War II were replenished into the army, which defeated Kim Il-sung in one fell swoop after the Inchon landing.
Later, the US army that fought with our volunteer army no longer had this kind of recruit egg that had not touched the weapon, but a veteran who had participated in World War II and had rich combat experience, and our army finally defeated the US army without the air force, the navy, and only relying on the equipment of foot, rifles and potatoes, with arduous will to fight and superb tactics, and finally defeated the US army.
It is worth saying that the Korean War is the founding war of the mainland, and there are many domestic works on this history, but for the United States, this is a war that they have not won, so on many occasions, the United States has tried to avoid it, which has also led to the fact that there are not many monographs on the Korean War in the United States, which makes the research of the war history expert Guldon particularly worthy of attention.
In the 80s, for some reason, the United States actually declassified the secret archives of the Korean War, which gave Goulden a full first-hand account, plus he was also a celebrity, had the opportunity to visit a large number of relevant war participants, making Gulden unique in possessing materials, revealing a large number of unknown aspects of Truman, MacArthur and others.
For example, MacArthur's spirit is not stable, often holding a pistol to himself, and saying that he is worthless, until his friend persuades him to put it down, once his friend was really bored, he said you are going to die, and as a result, MacArthur lost his temper, but the next day apologized to his friend, saying that he was too excited.
This was completely different from the perception of MacArthur, and the personal feud between President Truman and MacArthur at the time made the book as wonderful as a novel, so that "Korean War" was on the New York Times bestseller list for 24 weeks as soon as it was published.
Later, the United States decided that it was a mistake to declassify the archives of the Korean War, and re-classified these archives, which are now invisible even to the Americans, which makes Goulden's "Korean War" even more precious.
In the 1990s, the book was published internally, and only a very small number of high-ranking people could see it, and ordinary people did not even know that the book existed.
Now that "Korean War" has finally come out, it provides us ordinary people with a rare opportunity to contact top secrets, which can fully satisfy our psychology of pursuing historical truth, can increase our talking points, and see the superiority of people in crowd discussions, books are very precious, but the price is not expensive, it is also a meal money, click the following [take a look] to pick up!
