In the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, countless heroes have emerged in the Chinese Volunteer Army, and although they have remained in the Korean battlefield forever, they have always lived in the hearts of Chinese. For example, on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Huang Jiguang spilled blood on the battlefield, the volunteer army moved out mysterious weapons, and the US and Rok armies were directly bombed. So, what is the before and after of the incident?
On October 8, 1952, China and the United States were deadlocked in the Panmunjom negotiations, and neither was willing to retreat on the issue of an armistice. Therefore, after many negotiations but unable to reach a final conclusion, the US negotiations could not bear it, shouting: "Let the planes and artillery debate", thus unilaterally declaring the breakdown of the negotiations.
In order to win the final victory, the Shangganling area has become a fragrant feast in the eyes of both sides. The geographical position of Shangganling is superior, the entire highland is a peculiar inverted triangle, if people are stationed at the two ridges of Shangganling, the firepower can even cover the entire offensive route of the Southern American Army. The back of Shangganling is a counter-slope tunnel that is very suitable for concealed ambushes, and the entire Shangganling is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a natural defense line, once Shangganling is captured by the US army, the entire war situation will be reversed. Therefore, the US military formulated a "showdown plan" also known as the "Autumn Offensive", hoping to use military oppression to induce our side to make concessions in negotiations, gathered a large number of troops, and targeted the Shangganling Heights.
On October 14, 1952, the U.S. 7th Division, in coordination with the South Korean Pseudo-2nd Division, launched a large-scale offensive in the Shangganling area, and the Battle of Shangganling officially began. The U.S. 7th Division appeared to be a division, but it included not only three debate groups, but also a Colombian and Ethiopian battalion of more than 2,000 men, in addition to which there was an airborne 178th Regiment. The ROK army, an ally of the US army, sent the 2nd Division this time, and the 2nd Division also included 4 regiments, which was very well armed.
At that time, the "showdown plan" was carried out by VanVleet, known as the "military madman", VanVleet's battle plan was simply a word "bomb", in order to completely defeat the volunteer army, VanVleet ordered the soldiers not to consider the ammunition consumption, just to continue to fire attack. Adhering to the orders of their superiors, in the next few days, American soldiers fired wildly at Shangganling, and hundreds of artillery pieces attacked day and night. According to the data, a total of 360,000 shells were consumed, an average of 2860 shells fired by each gun, and even Shangganling was cut down by several meters under the overwhelming shell bombardment.
The U.S. military used artillery fire to continuously attack Shangganling, and the volunteers did not face the Attack of the U.S. Army, but adopted flexible tactics and adopted tunnel warfare. The fighters hid in the tunnels to avoid direct confrontation with the American troops, who occupied Shangganling with ferocious firepower during the day. In the evening, the volunteers rushed out of the tunnel to take back the Shangganling position, which was always circulating between the two sides.
On the night of October 19, the soldiers of the 15th Volunteer Army were fighting with the Americans for the heights in the rain of guns and bullets, and when they were some distance away from the 597.9 heights, the American attack suddenly intensified, hindering the Volunteers' attack. Huang Jiguang, a correspondent of the 9th Company of the 135th Regiment of the 45th Division, rushed up desperately to block the enemy's machine gun muzzle with his own body after running out of ammunition, grasped the ground deadly, obstructed the advance of the machine gunners, and did not allow the enemy any chance to attack his comrades.
That night, the 45th Division annihilated 2500 enemy soldiers. The next day, the reconnaissance office found that in the ravine south of the highland of 597.9 alone, the United States had pulled away the bodies of 30 trucks, which showed the huge losses of both sides.
After hearing Huang Jiguang's deeds, there was silence in the headquarters of the Volunteer Army, and as the commander of the 15th Army, Qin Jiwei realized that fighting a war could not rely only on the determination and will of the soldiers. The scale of the battle is constantly expanding, and to truly defeat the enemy, more powerful weapons must be used, and the American army can taste the taste of being chased by artillery shells.
Qin Jiwei decided to apply for support from the General Headquarters, and dialed the telephone of Hong Xuezhi, the deputy commander in charge of logistics, and after hearing about Huang Jiguang's touching deeds, Hong Xuezhi solemnly said: "The soldiers of the 15th Army are very hard, you need what you need, you must meet the needs of the soldiers." Qin Jiwei bluntly said that he wanted artillery, and it was not an ordinary cannon, it was a Katyusha rocket.
Katyusha rockets were sent to a pre-planned firing site at night, and at 9 p.m. that night, the first round of attacks began. The katyusha rockets were filled with ammunition to attack the enemy, and a total of 386 rockets directly blew the entire sky red, and the light emitted by the shells made the position look like day.
The first round of attacks had just ended, the second round of attacks had been eagerly picked up, and the enemy who had just climbed out of the bunker was hit by shells again. Under the cover of Katyusha rockets, the volunteer soldiers did not receive any obstruction to rush directly into the enemy positions, the ground was covered with incomplete corpses of American soldiers, and the few remaining soldiers saw the volunteer soldiers in fear and shouted to the volunteer soldiers: "Chinese actually used atomic bombs", which can be seen in the huge power of katyusha rockets and the psychological shadow brought to the enemy.
At the 43-day Battle of Shangganling, the Chinese Volunteer Army was victorious. In this battle, the U.S. army fired 1.9 million shells and more than 5,000 bombs, while the Volunteers fired just over 400,000 shells. The casualty ratio on both sides was 2.3:1, in which Katyusha rockets played a crucial role.
The Katyusha rocket, code-named BM-13, is a rocket launcher that needs to be carried by truck and can contain 16 132 mm M-13 rocket launchers. The rocket is equivalent to a high-explosive warhead of 700 kg equivalent TNT power, and the katyusha rocket blast produces a terrifying power that can kill and injure all targets within 100 meters on open ground.
If Katyusha falls near an enemy tank, the overpressurized from the explosion will be like a sledgehammer, hitting the tank hard, knocking the tank along with the enemies inside the tank into thin pieces. The most terrifying thing is that the Katyusha rocket can fire 16 rockets in 10 seconds, and the firepower is very dense. During World War II, it was used by the Soviet Union to attack Germany, which caused major trauma to the German army, so it became famous.
In 1950, the 143rd Division of the 48th Army was reorganized by the Central Military Commission into the 21st Artillery Division, the soldiers in this team were brave and good at fighting, and their military literacy was extremely high, but not many people understood the artillery technology, so the superior transferred 387 cadres overnight to train the soldiers. This unit is different from the previous one, the Central Military Commission equipped the 21st Division with Soviet-made M-15 rockets, each artillery company with 4 guns, a battalion with 12 guns, a regiment with 24 guns, and a division with a total of 120 Katyushas. On February 14, 1951. The 21st Division's artillery ceremony was officially held, and it successfully received Katyusha from the Soviet Union.
Time was very tight on the Korean battlefield, and the 21st Division had only 18 days to familiarize itself with Katyusha and learn its use under the circumstances. Under the careful instruction of the experts sent by the Soviet Union, the soldiers raced against every second, and such a powerful weapon was the treasure of all officers and soldiers, and everyone regarded the Katyusha rocket as more important than themselves. Later, the 21st Artillery Division participated in the Korean War, participating in the battles of Houdongli and Tianmudong successively, and achieved great military achievements.
In the Battle of Shangganling, Katyusha rockets played a huge role, and a large number of American soldiers died under katyusha's shell attack. In the subsequent Jincheng counterattack, the volunteer army was equipped with Katyusha's artillery unit, directly firing 1900 tons of shells, shells and tanks well covered the infantry unit, just an hour, the volunteer army broke through the enemy 4 divisions of the battle line head-on, the whole battle took only 21 hours. The volunteer army completed its task perfectly, recovered more than 160 square kilometers of land, and was the perfect curtain on the last battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
The Katyusha rocket was listed as one of the most advanced rocket launchers at the time, and the internal parts were all made by the Soviet Union itself, the most important of which was the high concentration of solid propellant columns, which was also produced by the Soviets. Moreover, the manufacturing price of Katyusha rockets is very high, and a Katyusha rocket is equivalent to 6 pairs of gold.
The Katyusha rocket was the most handy weapon used by the volunteer army, but the exclusive technology of the Katyusha rocket was in the hands of the Soviet Union. In order to get rid of the dependence on Soviet weapons, China also quickly carried out the exploration and research of katyusha rockets, and with the efforts of all experts, it was soon possible to independently produce Katyusha rockets.
Since then, the Chinese People's Liberation Army troops have gradually been equipped with a variety of powerful rockets, and rocket artillery has gradually become an important part of the PLA's firepower. Today, the PLA is still equipped with various types of rocket launchers, especially large-caliber long-range rocket launchers. If you have a conventional warhead, it is also easy to destroy the reinforced concrete wall with a thickness of 2 meters. If the rockets equipped with 3 small patrol missile drones are even more powerful, a single shot can destroy half a brigade of tanks.
The Korean War brought out China's military prestige and national prestige, re-established the self-confidence and pride of the Chinese people, and won a period of peace for China. The victory of the Korean War is inseparable from heroes like Huang Jiguang, and it is these heroic and reckless fighters who make us face a powerful enemy and not give up easily.
Nowadays, China's economy is constantly developing, its national defense strength has been greatly improved, and it has enough financial strength to support military development. China understands the importance of weapons and equipment, and has never forgotten the pain it has experienced before, constantly upgrading its weapons and equipment. Because each more advanced piece of equipment can make fewer soldiers die on the battlefield, only with better weapons can we better protect our people!
