The U.S. military dispatched carrier-based aircraft
At the end of the Fifth Campaign of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, when the US military used its powerful firepower to attack, what kind of action did our army take? After more than 7 months of military competition, the United States also realized that it could not win in a short period of time, so it began to seek negotiations in an attempt to reach a glorious truce, and at the same time the US government was unwilling to give up like this, still trying to use force to force our side to make concessions, so the US representatives were very arrogant at the negotiating table, and even put forward a lot of unreasonable demands, which caused strong dissatisfaction on our side at that time, so they began to confront the US representatives, and even directly rejected the unreasonable conditions of the other side, which made the US representatives angry and ashamed The U.S. military also began to launch a summer offensive, while sending a large number of fighters to bomb the volunteer supply line.
The Volunteers built tunnel fortifications
In order to resist the powerful firepower of the US army, the volunteer army also built up fortifications on the positions, constantly resisting the enemy's attacks, and at the same time using various tactics to harass the US troops to regain the initiative on the battlefield, so that the enemy paid heavy casualties, and the US troops did not dare to launch an attack at will after suffering losses, often relying on powerful firepower to bombard the volunteer positions, and then launched a large-scale counterattack. This made it extremely difficult for the volunteers to resist, but our army has also been carrying out tactical counterattacks, but the huge disadvantage of firepower is difficult to make up, and at this time, the Katyusha Rocket Artillery Division on the mainland has also completed its formation, and rushed to the Korean battlefield at the first time, and the soldiers marched at night in order to avoid American reconnaissance, and finally transported it to the position unharmed and hid in the cave.
Katyusha rockets arrive on the battlefield
At this time, the U.S. army did not know that the volunteer army had brought a large killing weapon, so it did not hide its tracks at all, after all, in their view, the volunteer army could only rely on tactics to attack, and in order to offset the firepower advantage, it could only choose the night, and the day was still the home of the U.S. army, but as the volunteer army thoroughly discovered the whereabouts of the U.S. army, the rocket artillery division launched a carpet bombing of 24 Katyusha directly aimed at the enemy position, and the two battalions of the U.S. army were quickly destroyed by such a strong attack, and the volunteer army also took advantage of the victory to pursue. However, when the soldiers arrived at the position, they found that the enemy had completely lost the ability to resist, the number of dead and wounded reached more than 700, and the few survivors were also confused by such a power, and it was impossible to slow down for a while.
Ridgway
In this way, the Katyusha rocket launcher won the first battle on the Korean battlefield, and the US military command also quickly discovered the abnormality, so it immediately sent people to investigate, and finally through the oral complaints of the nearby US position, they learned that the US military position suffered a strong fire blow before disappearing, and according to some details, it was very likely that it was the Soviet Katyusha artillery, after hearing this news, the US general could not sit still at all, and immediately asked the commander-in-chief Ridgway whether the Soviet Union had participated in the war, because this powerful force was only in the hands of the Soviet army. The Volunteer Army, on the other hand, had only some artillery and field artillery that were very backward and could not achieve such an effect at all, and if the Soviet Union had entered the war, the Korean War would have most likely developed into a world war, so it needed to be treated with caution.
The Soviets used Katyusha
Katyusha rockets won the first battle on the Korean battlefield, but how did the mainland get these rockets? This is to first understand the Katyusha artillery, which is a weapon developed by the Soviet Union during World War II, the first use of which shocked the German army, because the target was destroyed shortly after the soldiers heard the noise, which also attracted great attention from the German army, and after the subsequent battle captured a truck carrying this weapon, and because the Katyusha rocket launched with a hissing sound, the German army at that time regarded it as a nightmare sound, afraid that it would become a target, and unlike the general slower artillery in World War II, Katyusha was so fast and wide-ranging that the soldiers didn't even have time to find cover, and could only pray in their hearts that they would be spared, and there was nothing else they could do.
Rocket launches
And this can only be used as a luxury, because Katyusha from the beginning of the design is a weapon of destruction, not used for point-to-point strikes, so the power is very huge, it is divided into two rows of gun mounts, each row can place 8 rockets, and after the preparation of these 16 rockets can be launched together in only 10 seconds, after a few seconds can raz the target to the ground, in the Soviet-German War the Soviet army used it many times to destroy the German transport train, leaving a huge psychological shadow on the German army, Therefore, after the victory in World War II, the Soviet Union still attached great importance to it and was unwilling to let this strategic weapon flow out, and during the Cold War, only the United States and the Soviet Union had it, but with the outbreak of the Korean War, the US military launched a large-scale attack on North Korea.
U.S. troops attack
Wanting to completely and completely drive communism out of the Korean Peninsula poses a serious threat to both China and the Soviet Union, and the mainland also sought weapons assistance from the Soviet Union after making the decision to resist the United States and aid Korea and defend the country, after all, our army's equipment is very backward, the soldiers are still holding World War II weapons, and there is no air force to cover, such a large-scale march is difficult to escape the US military reconnaissance, then the losses will be very serious, but the Soviet Union in order to avoid direct conflict with the United States, at that time only promised to provide weapons support, However, it was impossible to provide air protection, so that our army could only secretly enter North Korea to avoid reconnaissance, but after the battle with the American army, the volunteer army was also shocked by the firepower of the American army, and at this time the first weapons aided by the Soviet Union had also arrived, but because of the huge power of the Katyusha rocket, the Soviet side was only willing to provide 12 pieces of equipment, that is, a regiment, and was unwilling to continue to provide.
The Volunteers used Katyusha rockets
However, in the case of our strong demand and combined with the strong firepower of the US army in the Korean battlefield, the Soviet Union was willing to add 12 more guns and then equip a regiment, and our army immediately built a rocket artillery unit after receiving it, and also carried out tactical training for the soldiers, because this could make Katyusha's power really play out, and although the soldiers did not know the Soviet language, they still relied on the guidance of Soviet experts and their own exploration, and finally mastered the use of the essentials to become the first rocket artillery division of our army. After the completion of the rearmament, he officially joined the team supporting Korea, entered the Korean battlefield from the Dandong area by train, and then successfully arrived at the front line at the risk of danger, and achieved brilliant results in the first battle, which made the US military fall into panic.
The volunteers hid their weapons in the tunnels
Since such a powerful Katyusha rocket has been mastered by the volunteer army, what kind of results have it achieved since then? Because the value of this batch of rockets is extremely high, and at the same time the US military holds the air superiority of the Korean battlefield, it cannot be used at will until it is necessary, and the US side also realized after many confirmations that this is not the Soviet Union participating in the war, but only its weapons to support the volunteer army, after all, at this time there have been some Soviet-made weapons on the Korean battlefield, but the US military has not relaxed, because such a weapon is in the hands of the volunteer army, which means that our army also has a certain powerful firepower, coupled with the magic tactics. The combat effectiveness of the volunteers would be greatly improved, so they sent reconnaissance planes to search for it many times but found nothing, so the American army also began to pay attention to the fortifications so that there was a place to hide in the event of a blow.
Volunteer positions after being shelled
However, with the delay in the US ground forces to occupy the advantage, which seriously affected the US negotiations, so in order to reverse the situation, the US military launched a Golden Offensive, at all costs to take some high ground to improve the US defense line, in order to be able to defeat the volunteer army as soon as possible, the US general Van Vleet demanded the use of maximum firepower, so after the battle officially began, the US army gathered hundreds of large-caliber artillery, and at the same time used a large number of tanks and fighters to carry out a fierce bombardment, our army position was instantly reduced to a sea of fire for a hundred years. Even if there were fortifications for defense, the volunteer soldiers were all injured by the shock wave, and although our army successfully repelled several enemy attacks, its own casualties were very heavy, and it was difficult to cope with the next attack of the US army.
The Volunteers fought back
In order to resist the fire attack of the US army, the volunteer army command also decided to send a rocket artillery regiment to support, the soldiers also immediately set off to run to the predetermined firing position, and prepared for the war, and after the end of the US army's round of artillery attack, the volunteer army first launched a counterattack with ordinary artillery, so that the enemy thought that our army's firepower was just like this, after finding that the US army did not have the slightest vigilance, the volunteer army also immediately aimed Katyusha at the enemy, and a large number of rockets mixed with ordinary artillery launched a roar at the enemy. In just a few minutes, the American army was beaten to the head, and the volunteer army quickly regained the high ground by taking advantage of the victory chase, and the fighting American army could not get out of the previous artillery attack, bluntly saying that the Chinese army's artillery fire was like rain, and every second there was a shell that was very terrible, and they did not even have a place to hide when facing such a blow.
Rocket artillery unit
Where do these US troops know that at the beginning of the Jinhua Offensive, the US artillery fire was even worse than this, almost every second there would be 6 rounds, but also a large-caliber artillery shell, far more powerful than some of the volunteer artillery, even the position full of rocks has been flattened by a few meters, and the number of shells of our army is less than 6 percent of the US side, which makes a large number of US troops cry bitterly, and the Katyusha rocket cannon has also become the only weapon in the hands of the volunteer army that can compete with the US army, which has greatly weakened the arrogance of the enemy. Since then, the rocket artillery unit has adopted the method of fast warfare, struck at the enemy in a mysterious way, participated in dozens of large and small battles, and at the same time used various tactics to further deter the enemy, playing an important role in the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
