Faced with difficulties, the volunteers were determined to persevere
On the Korean battlefield, the Volunteer Army was pursued by the enemy's heavy corps, and the entire defense line was in trouble. However, at this critical moment, Peng Dehuai of the Volunteer Army showed strict discipline and responsibility on the front line, and he asked his subordinates to unite as one, hold their positions, and aim to defend the Iron Man area.
The importance of the Iron Man region
The Iron Man area is the core of the logistics supply of the Volunteer Army, and it is also the key to the entire defense line. At this critical moment, Fu Chongli, commander of the 63rd Army of the Volunteer Army, swore that even if he killed all the people, he would not let the enemy advance half a step. He knew that the loss of the Iron Man area would lead to the collapse of the entire defensive line, so he insisted that his troops hold this critical area.
Heroically resisted, the enemy was firmly controlled
In the face of the attack of the 8th Army led by the American Van Vleet, the 63rd Army of the Volunteer Army suffered heavy losses, but they did not retreat, but showed a heroic fighting spirit. Commander Fu Chongli employed innovative tactics to keep the enemy firmly outside the line of defense, so that Van Vleet could not find the key strike. The soldiers, under tremendous pressure, resolutely held their positions and put the enemy in a passive position.
Die in the line of duty and defend the Iron Man area
This crucial battle lasted three days and three nights, and the heroic resistance of the volunteers prevented Van Vleet from breaking through the Iron Man area. In particular, the troops led by Cai Changyuan of the 189th Division died in the line of duty, broke into pieces, and defended this key area. They traded their lives for valuable time, providing an opportunity for the volunteer army to reorganize.
The triumph of tenacity and unity
In the end, the Volunteers successfully held the Iron Man area, stopped the enemy's attack, and achieved a crucial victory. Peng Dehuai witnessed this magnificent battle with his own eyes, and he was deeply moved. The battle demonstrated the resilience and unity of the volunteers, while also highlighting Peng Dehuai's outstanding leadership skills. The Volunteers were not afraid of sacrifice in difficult battles and paid a huge price for the defense of the Iron Man area. This story tells us that only by sticking to our beliefs and uniting as one can we overcome difficulties and achieve victory.
