This great battle of the past and the present was shrouded in darkness at the beginning! In October 1950, when the People's Republic of China had just turned one year old, the smoke of the Korean War had been shrouded for half a year. As a partner in the socialist camp, North Korea, a small neighbor, has been asking for help, and China has to face the difficult choice of whether to send troops to the war. Although the countries that have just emerged from the war are in ruins and have a huge disparity in military strength, once Korea is destroyed, the nascent People's Republic of China will become the enemy of US imperialism. In the face of this great decisive battle, what choice will China's leaders make?
Speaking of the Korean War, we have to start with the sudden attack of the Korean People's Army on South Korea on June 25, 1950. In just a few months, KPA occupied most of the territory of the Korean peninsula. Seeing that the Korean war was unfavorable to them, US imperialism made a painful decision for the first time to form a so-called "United Nations Army" to intervene on the Korean Peninsula.
At this time, China had just been founded, its economy was hit hard by the war, and it was riddled with internal and external troubles. However, as an ally of the socialist camp, in the face of the crisis of North Korea, the big brother China naturally shoulders the responsibility of brotherhood. It can be described as a charcoal in the snow! Lao Maozi and Kim Il Sung kept shouting for help, and the messages were endless.
However, at this critical juncture, there was a serious disagreement at the top level of the central government on whether to send troops to intervene in the Korean War. Some veteran comrades are worried that the foundation of the nascent republic is not yet solid, and that if a war really breaks out and suffers a big loss, I am afraid that the country that is in ruins will once again fall into turmoil. What's more, he directly said ruthlessly: The ruthless guy of US imperialism will fight when he says he will fight, do you really treat us as a dish?
As soon as these words came out, old Peng Ke was not happy. As a veteran of the People's Liberation Army, Peng Dehuai witnessed the arduous journey of New China from victory to victory. Facing the war-torn Korean battlefield, Lao Peng expounded his views to Chairman Mao: "Although North Korea is small, it is about great justice. Once Korea is lost, US imperialism will inevitably use force against China, and then we will have to fight alone. Rather than being beaten passively, it is better to take the initiative to save the DPRK from danger and to strike a blow at the arrogance of US imperialism. "
At the insistence of Lao Peng, on October 8, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee finally made up its mind and decided to form a "Chinese People's Volunteer Army" to reinforce the Korean People's Army. Since then, the smoke of gunfire has risen again on the Korean battlefield, and a thrilling battle has begun.
Lao Peng personally served as the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army and led 630,000 soldiers to fight bloodily. The contest of disparity in strength is destined to be extremely cruel, but the people's soldiers have an indomitable will. Under the leadership of General Zhang Fuxiang of the Fourth Field Army, the Volunteer Army stubbornly resisted the US army and turned the crisis into safety; In Donglin County, they have created an immortal example of winning more with less.
After that, Lao Peng personally led the army to launch the last battle of Pyongyang. After 83 days of arduous fighting, 280,000 elite divisions were dispatched on the whole front to finally drive the enemy out of the Yalu River and win a major victory. It can be said that it was the heroic and stubborn resistance of the volunteers that saved the Korean Peninsula from annihilation.
In the Korean War, the Chinese People's Volunteers can be called the greatest hero. Although both sides paid a heavy price, it was precisely because of this great struggle that the aggressive ambitions of the US imperialists against the DPRK were completely crushed and the dignity of the socialist front was defended. It can be said that this is the great practice of the Chinese nation's unremitting self-improvement and century-old struggle. As Lao Peng said: "The Chinese People's Liberation Army is such an invincible heroic army!" To this day, the exploits and glory of the Korean War have been deeply engraved in the hearts of the sons and daughters of China. #头条首发大赛#
