In the National Revolutionary Army, there was such an army, they fought bravely and well on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, but during the War of Liberation, they were repeatedly defeated, and even Lao Chiang did not have hope for them.
As a result, after the uprising of this army, it returned to its previous combat state. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, this army made the well-equipped US military fearful!
Which army is this?
"Ragtag Army"
The 60th Army of the Yunnan Army, from the very beginning, was formed to fight against foreign enemies. At that time, the Japanese were eyeing the mainland in a vain attempt to invade and occupy North China, and the 60th Army of the Dian Army was established at this time.
It is said that it is the Dian Army, but in fact, it is more accurate that it is the 60th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the commander of the army is the famous Lu Han.
On the battlefield of resistance against Japan, this army rushed to various battlefields, making the Japanese invaders pay a heavy price. It is no exaggeration to say that the 60th Army is the elite military force of the Kuomintang, and their weapons and equipment are not weak compared with the troops of Lao Chiang's relatives.
Moreover, this army does not have the stinky problems of the old Jiang Yanqin's troops.
The struggle between the various factions within the Kuomintang was fierce, and the army looked down on anyone, and at the top of the chain of contempt were naturally the troops of the old Chiang, who looked down on the rest of the Kuomintang troops at all.
In addition to the troops of Lao Jiang's relatives, the rest of the army in the national government can be said to be that grandma does not love uncle and uncle, and the resources allocated to them are few and the equipment is poor.
But it is precisely these "miscellaneous armies" that the old Chiang's troops look down on, but they are the main force on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. They beat the Japanese army to the point where they couldn't figure it out, and finally became famous for their ability to fight tough battles.
The Sichuan army was very unpopular with the Kuomintang army, and before the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Sichuan army that fought out of Sichuan had even been kicked by various forces, and no one looked down on the Sichuan army.
However, the performance of the Sichuan army on the battlefield of resistance against Japan completely surpassed the troops of the old Chiang, and they were the glorious victors of the war against Japan.
The 60th Army of the Yunnan Army, which fought bravely and well on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, never received the attention of Lao Chiang, and it was not until the first battle that they turned their attention to the 60th Army.
The 60th Army rushed to various battlefields, they fought fierce positions with the Japanese army, and they also fell into a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food, but the 60th Army never bowed to the Japanese army.
This iron-blooded force gave the Japanese army quite a headache. But at the same time, the 60th Army, which originally had only 40,000 men, also paid an extremely heavy price.
After Japan's surrender, Yunnan Provincial Chairman Long Yun once said: "It has only been eight years since the Yunnan army left Yunnan, and 220,000 people have already sacrificed their lives for the country!"
The 60th Army sacrificed a lot on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and there were more than 20,000 casualties in the bloody battle of Taierzhuang alone, and the 60th Army was almost wiped out in this battle!
Seeing the courage and good fighting of the 60th Army, Lao Chiang had great confidence before launching the civil war, after all, his own descendants could not be counted on. In Lao Jiang's view, the 60th Army is the confidence to confront our army and a great weapon to use against our army.
That's why he shushed the soldiers of the 60th Army from time to time. But how could they accept it if they had already seen the true face of Lao Jiang?
After all, not everyone wants to fight a civil war, they all want to be a dictatorship.
The 60th Army naturally did not want to be the sinners of history, and the original purpose of its formation was to resist the Japanese army, but after Japan surrendered, it had to aim its guns at its compatriots under the orders of Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang's vain attempt to start a civil war made the Sixty Army reluctant to follow him, and they did not want to become accomplices of the Kuomintang.
In short, with the surrender of Japan and the preparation of the Nationalist Government to plan for a civil war, the spirit of the 60th Army was gone, and they were no longer the brave soldiers who fought bravely on the battlefield and no longer the heroes who fought against foreign enemies.
People were under the roof and had to bow their heads, but the 60th Army still became an accomplice of the Nationalist Government.
The 60th Army began to engage in fierce battles with our army on the battlefield, and the fighting between the two sides was very fierce, but it was obvious that the whole army of the 60th Army was extremely resentful, and their spirit of heroic fighting had long been wiped out by the Nationalist Government.
Coupled with the corruption within the Kuomintang, they could not get the same material supplies on the battlefield as the troops of Lao Chiang's relatives, and their resentment towards Lao Chiang was even higher.
The most important thing is that some of the materials distributed by the Nationalist Government to the 60th Army will be exploited by officials at all levels of the Nationalist Government. Seeing this, I already thought about how the 60th Army could willingly serve the Kuomintang? That's why it fished in troubled waters during the civil war.
Later, the army commander Zeng Zesheng led his troops to revolt in Changchun, and the 60th Army became history, and soon the army was reorganized into the 50th Army of the People's Liberation Army.
"Fifty Bears"
And this unit has become the "Fifty Bears" with a prestigious name in the DPRK to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
What kind of unit can be described as an animal like a bear, and the US military can answer this question instead of Zeng Zesheng.
Those United Nations troops who were frightened by the 50th Army on the battlefield could also answer questions in place of Zeng Zesheng.
The 50th Army was one of the first units of our army to enter the DPRK to fight, and they participated in almost all major battles, except for the four months when they returned home to rest, and the rest rushed to the battlefield.
It can be seen from this that the prestige of the 50th Army was achieved through one battle after another.
In the fourth battle, Zeng Zesheng led his troops to hold on to both sides of the Han River, engaged in fierce battles with the American army, and successfully held off the enemy for 50 days. During this period, all the officers and men of the 50th Army showed amazing willpower.
In front of the strong defensive line of the 50th Army, the enemy simply could not move forward and buy precious time for the main forces of our army!
And in the third battle, the 50th Army accomplished a feat when they wiped out the elite British troops on the battlefield and liberated Seoul in one fell swoop.
The majestic posture of the 50th Army on the Korean battlefield made the enemy realize the horror of the Chinese soldiers!
The 60th Army fought bravely and skillfully on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and even Lao Chiang had to admit their achievements.
In the War of Liberation, Chiang Kai-shek regarded the 60th Army as a secret weapon to press the bottom of the box, but the 60th Army was unwilling to help the abuse, so it revolted under the leadership of the army commander.
During the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the 60th Army became the 50th Army of the Volunteer Army, fighting at the forefront of the battle, they are all good!
