On October 25, 1951, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea officially began, which seemed to be accidental, but in fact carried some inevitability.
In October 1951, Chairman Mao said at the national meeting of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference that if it were not for the US army occupying China's territory of Taiwan, invading the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and hitting the Chinese border. Chinese people will not fight with the United States.
Some people have put forward a view in the past that the Korean War or the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea affected the settlement of the Taiwan issue, but in fact, this is not the case depending on the historical archives. Long after the end of the Second World War. The United States has already declared that the Pacific Ocean is the Lake of the United States, so it is its homeland that the United States wants to control the east coast of the west coast of the Pacific.
In this case, the United States controlled the island chain from the Alison Islands, Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines. That, in fact, was part of his entire strategic plan. On February 14, 1950, the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance was signed, and the United States immediately prepared to take action. In April, National Security Council Document 68 decided that a hard-line policy must be adopted in the Far East.
Between May and June, U.S. forces in the Far East began preparing to intervene in Korea and Taiwan. On June 25, 1950, the Korean Civil War broke out, the next day, US President Truman ordered the US military in the Far East to send aircraft and warships to Korea to participate in the war, and on June 27, two days after the outbreak of the Korean Civil War, US President Truman issued a statement announcing the us military to invade Korea and Taiwan, and sent a military advisory group into Vietnam to help the French army.
According to Mao Zedong' description, this is equivalent to three knives, one towards China and North Korea, and one towards our heads. Taiwan put a handful on our waists. Vietnam put one in our feet and faced three knives, what will China do? It can only be fought, and these three battlefields are the most beneficial to China, that is, in Korea.
Therefore, Mao Zedong decided that China would prepare to participate in the war, and it would have to punch a punch, so as not to have a hundred punches coming, so it is said that the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was to deal with the invasion of the United States with three knives. Choosing China to give full play to its army superiority is the most conducive to logistical supply, that is, to fight in the Korean battlefield. This was the historical background for the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In the Military Museum of the Chinese Revolution, there is a captured American flag, which is the regimental flag of the Thirty-first Regiment of the Seventh Division of the Tenth Army of the United States Army. It was captured by the Chinese Volunteer Army in the Battle of Chosin Lake, and it was also the only time during the entire War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea that the Volunteer Army formed a complete annihilation of a regiment of the US Army.
The Thirty-first Regiment of the Seventh Division of the U.S. Tenth Army is a long-established reinforcement regiment of the U.S. Army. At that time, the regiment numbered 3191 people, and the regiment was awarded the title of Polar Bear Regiment by US President Wilson for his meritorious service in Siberia from 1918 to 1920 during World War I, and personally awarded the Polar Bear Regiment flag.
During World War II, the 31st Regiment took part in the Pacific Campaigns of the Iwo Jima, marshall Islands and Okinawa. As a result, most of the regiment's military exploits were built overseas, and as a result, it enjoyed the reputation of a foreign corps in the U.S. Army.
The polar bear regimental flag personally awarded by President Wilson is a symbol of the glory and victory of the Thirty-first Regiment. The Thirty-first Regiment, as the main force of the US Seventh Division, was not only strong in troops, but also well-equipped. He had three infantry battalions, a tank company composed of the main armament in addition to rifles, carbines light and heavy machine guns, but also equipped with a large number of 69 bazookas, 57 anti-tank guns, 60 mortars, 46 guns of various types, and 59 tanks and armored vehicles.
During the Battle of Changjianghu, the U.S. 31st Regiment was only supported by U.S. aviation numerical air fire during daily combat. As his opponent, a regiment of the Chinese Volunteer Army had neither tanks nor aircraft, but only a small number of small-caliber artillery and 60mm rocket launchers. It can be said that the difference in equipment between the two sides is the difference between heaven and earth.
Compared with the superiority of the Thirty-first Regiment of the American Army, the Volunteer Army was not only weak in firepower, but also lacked cold equipment. At that time, the temperature of the entire Changxing Lake area had dropped to more than minus 30 degrees. Before the battle could begin, there was a massive attrition of the troops, and the volunteers were several times more seriously wounded than the Americans.
But it was in this case that it was November 27, 1950. The Twenty-seventh Army of the Chinese Volunteer Army seized the fighter plane, attacked bravely, and used the night to pounce on the American positions from all directions. In the Liutanli and Xinxingli areas. You and I were staggered together, and the US army used chariots and heavy weapons to form a circle around the perimeter of the position, and Peng Deqing, commander of the Twenty-seventh Army of the Volunteer Army, based on the battlefield.
After careful judgment, it was decided to concentrate the strength of the Eighty and Eighty-first Divisions and the vanguard of the artillery of the whole army. In the relatively weak Xinxing, the three battalions of the THIRTY-first Regiment of the US Army were directly subordinate to the group. Under the fierce attack of the Chinese Volunteers wave after wave, the U.S. army was cut into four sections and completely collapsed under the cover of aircraft. Desperately trying to break through.
However, it was blocked by the volunteer army, and the battle was fought all the way to the shores of Chosin Lake. At 4:00 a.m. on December 2, 3,191 members of the Polar Bear Regiment, which had a glorious history in the U.S. Army for 30 years, were completely annihilated by the Volunteer Army, and the regimental commander McLean and the Polar Bear Regiment Flag of the North Base were also captured by the three battalions of the 239th Regiment of the Volunteer Army.
At the same time, more than 300 vehicles of various kinds and 137 cannons were seized. The polar bear regimental flag was initially captured by Zhang Jiqing, a three-way communications squad leader on the 239th floor. After being used as a wrapped garment and later recognized by the battalion commander Bi Shuyang and handed it over, the polar bear regimental flag of the 31st Regiment of the US Army was designated as a national first-class cultural relic, and as the campaign of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army to Resist the United States and Aid Korea, it was forever stored in the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution.
With the total annihilation of the U.S. Thirty-first Regiment. Chinese the only combat strength in the People's Volunteer Army to create a total annihilation of the pseudo-army-level combat unit on the Korean battlefield, and it is also the only fiasco in the history of the US military. The U.S. army subsequently revoked the designation of the Thirty-first Infantry Regiment. This once-mighty ace force is gone forever.
With the demise of the 31st Regiment of the Us Army, the Chinese Volunteer Army emerged Kong Qingfan, a first-class combat hero. The second-class combat heroes Li Gengtian, Wang Jinlan, Yan Hongjin, Yang Yanchao, and were awarded the Xinxingli Combat Model, Company 239 Regiment And Four Companies. Two hundred and forty regiments, four companies and a large number of combat stars.
Chinese the main regiment of the Twenty-seventh Army of the People's Volunteer Army, with inferior equipment, completely annihilated the main regiment of the Us army with modern equipment. It has created a miracle in the history of world wars and is also an unprecedented resolution in the entire War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
