introduction
After the end of World War II, although the world returned to a short period of peace, but the bullying and hegemony of the superpowers for weak and small countries did not end because of this, China, as the victorious country in World War II, did not enjoy the glory that the victorious country deserved, on the contrary, it is still being violated by other countries, the United Nations forces led by the United States, the Korean War launched in 1951 is the best example, the United States with the advantage of the superpower, launched an all-round attack on China, Attempts to force China to make compromises with overwhelming power, in an attempt to make China act according to the intentions of the United States, are only the final result, but the United States did not expect, and can even be said to be greatly unexpected by the United States.
The volunteers meet the South Korean army
The heroism of the volunteers in the battlefield has impressed all countries in the world, especially in the face of a European country, the volunteers only took 20 minutes to beat the country to collapse, this country is the Netherlands, in fact, if it comes to the Netherlands, many people think that this is a very small country, but in the history of the Netherlands, once the shipbuilding technology once led the world, the Dutch and China in addition to resisting the United States and aiding Korea, The earliest time can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty and the Qingming Dynasty, but even when the Qing Dynasty declined, the Dutch did not invade China, because the Netherlands had declined at that time, especially in the Korean War, when the Dutch joined the battlefield, it was already the fourth battle.
This battle was the first attack launched by the United States, the volunteers at that time decided to abandon the plain south of the 38th parallel, and retreated into the mountains for defense, the United States at that time with its technological superiority and advanced weapons and equipment, has been chasing and fighting behind the volunteers, and it is precisely because of this that the United Nations army after seeing this situation, its morale is very high, naively believe that the real combat effectiveness of the volunteers is only so, and even they feel that they can win in a short time. It was also during this time that the Dutch army rushed out of the battlefield.
At this time, the Dutch army was subordinate to the second test of the United States, and rushed directly to the Hengcheng area in one breath, intending to continue the pursuit, in the early morning of February 12, when the Dutch English-speaking American troops were marching on the job, they suddenly found that someone in their life found that they did not shoot, but the battalion commander at the time, Lieutenant Colonel Auden, ordered not to rush back fire, the reason is that he immediately saw the people shooting at them, seemingly wearing South Korean military uniforms, so that his first reaction at that time was that the opposite was South Korean soldiers. The twin shots simply had an incident of accidental injury.
The volunteers met the Helan army
Because the United Nations army due to the many people, the country and the country united, it is inevitable that accidental injuries will occur, and it is precisely because of the occurrence of many cases, Auden decided to ask for contact with the US military to send personnel to avoid mutual harm, because the location where Auden was located at that time, there was still a certain distance from the front line, so Auden ran to the front of the convoy for the first time, shouting loudly in English, they are friendly troops, do not shoot, do not make mistakes, do not accidentally injure, just Auden as a friendly soldier in South Korea, However, after hearing his remarks, he was obviously stunned, and then what awaited Auden was a rain of bullets, and Lieutenant Colonel Auden also became the highest-ranking Dutch officer to be killed after Zheng successfully recaptured Taiwan.
It was clearly not the South Korean army that attacked Auden, nor the friendly troops he perceived, but the volunteers who feared them. This unit is the vanguard of the 39th Army, the 117th Division, and the 351st Regiment, their main task is to win the time for the main army to arm and assemble, they began to set out on the 11th, but the snow covered the mountains and forests, so that the guide made a mistake for a while, so that the volunteer army was brought to another road, and at dawn, the unit found that there was something wrong with the direction of the route, and just when the troops did not know how to solve it, they accidentally found a South Korean soldier walking towards them, At first, the unit thought the other side was friendly, but they got to know each other.
After learning about the situation of the other side, the volunteers decided to keep quiet, and did not choose to fire suddenly until they were close enough, so that before the Dutch troops could notice what was happening, they had been crushed, and finally the volunteers captured only 5 prisoners, and our policy at that time was to give preferential treatment to prisoners, and after negotiating with the prisoners, the prisoners finally explained that there was a path that could lead directly to their destination, and even arrive before dawn, and the battalion commander at the time, Wang Deyu, was very happy, so he followed the route of the South Korean prisoners , began to advance rapidly, and after crossing two hills, finally collided with the Dutch army on the side of the road.
20 minutes to solve the battle
At that time, the vanguard was dressed in the uniform of South Korean soldiers, which was further confused, and Auden, who was inexperienced in combat at that time, so that it only resisted for more than 20 minutes before completely collapsing, and then waiting for the Allies to rescue, the Netherlands, itself the country has no real combat experience, especially although they participated in World War II, but most of the time, the Netherlands was hiding in prisoner of war camps to avoid the war, in the Korean battlefield, the Netherlands invested a total of 819 troops, It doesn't look much, but in the United Nations army at that time, it was not particularly weak, and secondly, their weapons and equipment were also world-class, at least their combat effectiveness would not be much worse than the American army, but the main reason why the Dutch army would be solved by the volunteers within 20 minutes was that they were on the march at that time, so on the one hand, they could not get the fire support of the American army,
On the other hand, it is also their own reasons, so that they can only rely on their own weapons to fight, our army after seeing the real strength of the Dutch soldiers, it only took 20 minutes, to completely defeat it, in fact, not only the Dutch, even the American and South Korean troops, can not imagine their own large rear, there will be such a big loophole, it is precisely because the vanguard repulsed the Netherlands, so that our army can continue to advance, at about 10 a.m., can take the lead to occupy, The occupation of areas such as Jietian-ri and Huiyanbong posed a great threat to the US military and the South Korean military.
brief summary
More importantly, the Dutch army disappeared in this battle in the Korean War, as if it had never happened, and even the specific circumstances and casualties of the two sides were not specifically recorded, the Chinese volunteers did not care about this, and the Americans did not care, until 63 years later, that is, in 2013, the Netherlands finally released this data, this battle only lasted 20 minutes, the Dutch killed 120 people and wounded 645, that is to say, in the Korean battlefield. Only 54 Dutch troops were intact, and the high ratio of casualties of 1:5 was a very high existence even in any battlefield.
