One: Li Qiwei's resourceful layout
It is said that at that time, in the spring of 1951, when the flowers were blooming, Ridgway replaced MacArthur and became the new boss of the "United Nations Army". He is not as arrogant as MacArthur, but like a sinister and cunning fox, his eyes are bright and bright, and he understands the pain point of our volunteers at a glance - there is no air superiority, logistics are not very good, and the war will have to rest for seven days at most.
So, he had a crooked idea and launched a "worship offensive", preparing to outflank us and force us into a corner when our strength was not enough on the seventh day.
Two: Tieyuan's throat, the line between life and death
When the battle came to an end and the sky was just dawning, the US planes were like crows, and they snatched air supremacy away at once. Immediately after, a wild and indiscriminate bombardment smashed directly into the grain transportation road behind us, and the road became like ruins. At the same moment, their mechanized troops chased after them like mad dogs chasing rabbits.
Mr. Peng looked at the map, and he was in a hurry, the US army was coming towards the 38th parallel this time, especially at the fatal place of Tieyuan. If Tieyuan is lost, it will be like the door is open, and the enemy's tanks can run in at will, and our front line defense line will collapse immediately.
3: Senior Officer in Charge, Death Morihara
At this time, Mr. Peng made a major decision: "Brothers of the 19th Corps, listen, this time you have to go out and block behind, for the safety of the big guys, you must defend Tieyuan, and at least give me fifteen to twenty days!" As soon as General Yang Dezhi heard the order, he felt like a mirror in his heart, although his 19th Corps was still well equipped, it was already tired enough.
The one that could come in handy was the 63rd Army, with a total of seven or eight thousand people, and the divisions were not full, and there were pitiful bullets and food. However, Yang Dezhi didn't frown, and replied directly: "No problem, I promise to complete the task, and I have to defend Tieyuan even if I risk my life!" ”
Four: fight the strong with the weak, and skillfully change the formation
The brothers of the 63rd Army rushed to Cheorwon with this heavy mission. General Yang Dezhi asked them to set up a position like the word "pin", and the three divisions were distributed on the left and right sides and behind. On the battlefield of Tieyuan, the shells crackled like fried beans, and the officers and men of the 63rd Army stuck to the ground like nails.
They all know that what they are dealing with now is not only the enemy's artillery fire, but also the overwhelming material and combat disparity. In particular, Cai Changyuan, the commander of the 189th Division, had an idea and came up with a tactic of "scattering troops and fighting separately", splitting the troops into many small firepower points, so that it would not be so easy for the US troops to rush over. Although this move is very sacrificial, it does make the enemy suffer a lot.
Five: life-and-death duel, tenacity and unyielding
In the land of Cheorwon, every brother of the 19th Corps has become a hard-headed hero. In the fierce battle of more than ten days, the brothers of the 63rd Army can be said to have endured all the hardships, and in the end they even swallowed the horse meat to fill their stomachs, the positions were bombed to pieces, the wounded cried incessantly, and their clothes were in tatters.
However, their eyes were always full of determination, and no matter how loud the artillery fire was, they all stuck to their posts and swore to protect every inch of the motherland. At the critical juncture, Commander Fu Chongbi simply pulled out the hidden artillery and fought hard. This wave of operations actually made the US military panic and forced to retreat temporarily, and also let the world see the courage and wisdom of the Chinese soldiers.
Six: The shocking end of the Cheorwon Resistance Battle
After a long and bloody battle, the two divisions of the 63rd Army were left with only more than 700 lucky ones. In this battle, more than 15,000 American troops were killed, a number that stunned the world. It was under such unfavorable circumstances that our volunteers relied on their incomparably tenacious spirit and wisdom to achieve a glorious example of the defeat of the weak over the strong in the Cheorwon Resistance Battle.
【Conclusion】:
Looking back on this period of history, the Cheorwon Resistance still makes our hearts soar today. These brave soldiers have built an insurmountable line of defense with their lives, and their heroic deeds will forever be engraved in the memory of the Chinese people, and it is precisely because of their sacrifices and dedication that our nation can stand tall and stand tall in the east of the world.
