"Comrades, the time has come for the party and the people to test us!"

On the afternoon of November 28, 1950, Jiang Chao, commander of the 113th Division of the 38th Army of the Volunteer Army, issued an iron order to the commanders and fighters of the division: in the next 14 hours, use two legs to "race" with the wheels of the American army's cars!

Steel March

After entering the DPRK, the Chinese People's Volunteers, with the cooperation of the Korean People's Army, launched the first campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea.

Against the United Nations forces, which were gaining momentum, our volunteer soldiers gave them a head-on blow. MacArthur had wanted to occupy all of Korea before Thanksgiving, but was forced back by the Volunteers' steely offensive.

After that, the situation in the Korean war was initially stabilized. But MacArthur was apparently unconvinced, and then made the bold statement that "win the war before Christmas."

The United Nations forces quickly launched Operation "Christmas" in a vain attempt to encircle and annihilate the Volunteers and the Korean People's Army in northern Korea and occupy all of Korea before the waters of the Yalu River are completely frozen.

On November 6, 1950, the Volunteer Army units on the Western Front were strongly counter-attacked by the United Nations forces. The United Nations forces dispatched a large number of aircraft in an attempt to cut off the transportation of personnel and supplies of the volunteers.

During that time, the logistical transportation of the Volunteer Army faced great difficulties. When the convoy was driving on the road, it could be bombed indiscriminately by enemy planes at any time.

The speed of the march was also greatly reduced, because the volunteer soldiers had to be constantly vigilant for movements in the sky, and if an enemy plane flew in, they had to hide immediately.

However, the interval between bombing by enemy planes was very short, and the shortest time was only 10 minutes.

The U.S. 8th Army on the Western Front once again crossed the Cheongchon River and attacked northward, while the U.S. 10th Army on the Eastern Front advanced northward and attacked the flank of the Chinese and North Korean troops.

Finally, according to MacArthur's plan, the United Nations forces on the eastern and western fronts will encircle and annihilate the Chinese and North Korean forces in one fell swoop at Wupingli, south of the river boundary, and then advance into the Yalu River.

"We must not allow the enemy to succeed!"

On November 8, after analyzing the situation of the enemy's offensive, the commander of the Volunteer Army formulated the operational policy:

On both the eastern and western fronts, the volunteers had to adopt the strategy of luring the enemy into depth. It is necessary to crush the enemy's flank all the way first, and then suddenly expand the victory in the middle.

In accordance with this operational policy, after coming into contact with the enemy, all units of the Volunteer Army fought and retreated, so that the enemy thought that they had the upper hand and then "pursued after victory."

MacArthur also had no doubts about the intentions of our army. In his eyes, the Volunteer Army is still a "weak" army, and it is not normal to be afraid of being beaten by the US military.

As a result, he soon tasted the consequences of underestimating the enemy.

As U.S. units were introduced into the intended combat area, the various units of the Volunteer Army went into action.

After the US 8th Army on the Western Front completely entered the battlefield, the Volunteer Army on the Eastern and Western Fronts launched a powerful counterattack against the enemy on November 25 and November 27 respectively.

This time it was like a big slap in the face of the US military, which completely stunned the US military. Under the attack of the volunteers, the American army suffered heavy casualties.

The U.S. commander was afraid that the back road would be cut off, and he did not even have to escape.

As a result, the U.S. troops broke away from the battle one after another and slipped south in cars.

After analysis, the Volunteer Army confirmed that the US troops were retreating in the direction of Sansho-ri. It is a small village located south of the Cheongcheon River.

In order to block the enemy's retreat, the volunteers had to occupy Sansho-ri before the American army. It was the 113th Division of the 38th Army of the Volunteer Army that received this important task.

Jiang Chao, the commander of the 113th Division, immediately ordered the soldiers to leave after receiving the order. They only have 14 hours and every second counts!

In this way, the commanders and fighters of the 113th Division of the Volunteer Army began an unimaginable rapid march.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, when the soldiers were hurrying on their way, they heard the roar of enemy planes in the sky.

From the loud and high-pitched voice, Jiang Chao was sure that it was an enemy reconnaissance plane, not a bomber.

The political commissar was about to order the whole army to hide, but was stopped by Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao ordered: "Everyone take off the disguise on their bodies! Just continue on this road, don't panic!"

Why did the division commander give such an order? So that the enemy's planes would not notice us?

Although the fighters were puzzled, they did not hesitate to follow the order.

The roar was getting closer, and the enemy reconnaissance planes circled a few times over their heads and flew away.

Normally, after the reconnaissance plane arrives, within a short time a bomber will fly over and drop bombs. But after a whole day, the 113th Division was also not subjected to air strikes.

What's going on?

When flying over for reconnaissance, the US pilots took a general look at them, and at first glance they were all East Asian faces, and subconsciously felt that this was the South Korean Army that had just been defeated.

After so many days of war, the US pilots have seen too many similar scenes. The South Korean army was not able to fight one race at a time, but it ran faster than anyone else and was the best at retreating.

With this large number of East Asians on the ground, all in shabby clothes and running fast, who could it be if it wasn't the South Korean Army? It can't be the Volunteer Army, right?

The pilot shook his head and flew straight back to the airport.

In this way, the 113th Division passed by the air raid without danger.

They overcame many difficulties along the way and created a miracle in the history of infantry attacks. In fact, within 14 hours, they traveled more than 70 kilometers on their legs and completely annihilated a company of the South Korean Army stationed in Sansho.

Shi Jiang Chao ran over with the soldiers, and he also had a high fever on the way, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

The 113th Division, which rushed to Sanshori, did not have time to rest, and immediately began to build fortifications. Less than 5 minutes after the fortifications were repaired, the American troops arrived.

Seeing that the main route for fleeing south had been cut off, the US commander understood that his strategic deployment had been completely disrupted, so he had no choice but to change the strategy of attacking to retreat on all fronts.

Next, the U.S. army will go all out to attack the defense line of the 113th Division in Sanshori, and will not stop if it does not retreat successfully!

In the ensuing fierce battle, the commanders and fighters of the Volunteer Army adopted a combination of holding on and counterattacking, and fought with the enemy for three days and three nights, never allowing the northern and southern enemies within 1,000 meters to meet.

This played an important role in the annihilation of the enemy by the Volunteer Army on the Western Front.

On December 1, the idea of the US 9th Army breaking through from Sansho-ri was completely shattered, and it had to abandon a large amount of baggage equipment and flee in the direction of Anju.

This battle of Sansholi played the prestige of the 113th Division of the Volunteer Army, and also made the name of the division Jiang Chao become a household name!

From the Kuomintang to the people's fighters

Jiang Chao was born in 1917 and is a native of Dingxian County, Hebei Province. He grew up in a poor family and only wanted to change his fate by studying, so he Xi studied very hard.

However, due to the poverty of the family, he had to suspend his school. Later, the 57th Army of the Northeast Army went to Baoding to recruit soldiers, and Jiang Chao heard that he would have the opportunity to learn and Xi as a soldier, so he did not hesitate to sign up.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Jiang Chao fought bravely and was soon promoted to platoon commander and attracted the attention of our party.

After learning about our party's thinking, Jiang Chao believed that our party was the one that really stood on the side of the poor people. So, at the end of 1940, Jiang Chao led his troops to defect to the Eighth Route Army, and made many meritorious contributions in the subsequent battles.

In 1950, after the mainland decided to send troops to North Korea, Jiang Chao, as the commander of the 113th Division of the 38th Army of the Volunteers, led his troops to North Korea.

In 1964, Jiang Chao was awarded the rank of major general.

General Jiang Chao's deeds will always inspire us. The brilliance of the spirit of him and the officers and men of the Volunteer Army will never be dusted!
