#Looking back at the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea ##Great Man Strategy #In 1950, the Korean War broke out, the Chinese Volunteer Army entered the Korean War, and soon there was an encounter with the LIGHT enemy's US Army Mounted First Division at Yunshan, and our army won a victory in this battle, so it also captured a part of the US army, this is the first battle since entering the DPRK, and all walks of life are curious about how our volunteer army treats prisoners of war.
Because the U.S. military often demonizes the volunteer army, so in the eyes of Western countries, they believe that the volunteer army will abuse prisoners of war, just like some countries after World War II treat prisoners of war, in addition to doing coolies, they will be humiliated by various beatings, but unexpectedly, the volunteer army treats prisoners of war is not what everyone imagines, on the contrary, the volunteers are very lenient to those prisoners of war, not only do not scold those prisoners of war, but also will not loot their belongings, in order to make these prisoners of war dispel the fear in their hearts. He would even give the prisoners of war the delicious food he had been reluctant to take out.
After the defeat of these prisoners of war, they will be taken to the prisoner of war camp by the volunteer army through many difficulties, and what they do not know is basically the place where happiness begins after arriving here, in fact, our army has always had a policy of preferential treatment for prisoners of war, so after they arrive at the prisoner of war camp, they will enjoy very good treatment, which is simply more comfortable than living in their own positions. In the winter, in addition to winter clothes, there will be some warm measures, such as gloves, rubber shoes and coats, so the prisoners of war in the volunteer army have zero frostbite, and even in the prisoner of war camp, those prisoners of war can receive cigarettes, sugar and soap regularly, and living facilities and daily necessities are readily available.
But even with such good treatment, those American prisoners of war will still be sick, inexplicable death, doctors do not know what disease they have after various examinations, and later people learn that these prisoners of war were malnourished at the beginning, and then suddenly ate different foods will lead to food poisoning, and then die, or those who eat very rich all day, and the nutrition is also in place People who suddenly eat vegetarian food May also have the same tragedy. In this regard, the US military will publicize the false news of the abuse of prisoners of war by the volunteers even more loudly, and the volunteers will have no choice but to change their current strategy, and sometimes in the subsequent battles, they will not be able to evacuate the prisoners of war, and they will be released on the spot after the prisoners are disarmed.
At this point, some people must feel that "benevolence to the enemy is cruelty to oneself", which is a good sentence, but after all, war is cruel, and we are not "Mr. Dongguo" without a bottom line, and even when releasing these prisoners of war, the volunteer army will use some tricks.
After the Battle of Yunshan, the US army could not face the truth of its defeat for a long time, in the face of such a situation, commander-in-chief Peng Dehuai took advantage of this and began to pretend that although the US army participated in the war, it already knew the strength of the US army, did not dare to brazenly participate in the war, and could only fight some guerrilla warfare. MacArthur also dreamed of coming home on Thanksgiving.
At this time, Chairman Mao suddenly ordered the release of the prisoners of war, and at first the volunteers did not understand what the great man was going to do this time, but Peng Zong immediately understood after receiving the order, and he said to Du Ping, then director of the Political Department of the Volunteer Army: "Don't wait until tomorrow, let them go tonight, the sooner the better, and even tell them that we are now short of food supply, there is no way to meet the sudden batch of prisoners, and the volunteers are also busy returning to China!" In addition, Mr. Peng also proposed that the volunteer army should resolutely implement the "four guarantees": to ensure the safety of life, to ensure that private property is not confiscated, to ensure that there is no abuse, and to ensure that the injured are treated.
After du ping listened, he seemed to suddenly understand the idea of the great man, so he personally arranged for the organization section chief Si Dongchu and his driver Wang Dahai to handle these things.
