In 1950, the American war burned to the Yalu River

On October 21, the Intelligence Service of the U.S. Eighth Army predicted that the North Korean Army would not be able to organize a decent defense on the Cheongcheon River, and that the rest of the troops would retreat in two directions: first, along the Cheongcheon River upstream to near the border, into the densely forested mountains centered on the river boundary and Manpojin; and second, from Anju and Sin-anju in the lower Kiyokawa River to Sinuiju in the northwest. Xinyizhou is located at the mouth of the Yalu River, across the river from Dandong in Liaoning.

The mountains around Gangjie and Manpojin are steep and there is almost no way to go, making them ideal for defensive warfare and guerrilla warfare. In order to prevent as many Northern Korean troops as possible from entering the area. The U.S. military quickly advanced north. On October 24, the U.S. army attacked Yunshan, which was only 89 kilometers from the Yalu River. At this time, the Rok army was even further north, and they were ready to attack Mount Chu on the banks of the Yalu River.

To the UN forces, the war seemed to be coming to an end. It is only necessary to hit the Yalu River with a single blow and wipe out the Northern Korean Army. Despite our repeated warnings, there seems to be no trace of Chinese forces ahead of the U.S., Commonwealth, and South Korean forces that are eager to move forward.

On October 24, General MacArthur revoked an order he issued on October 17 that all troops except the Roks should be confined to the south of the line 48 to 64 kilometers south of the border.

MacArthur lifted all restrictions on U.N. ground forces, and he instructed his commanders at all levels to go all out and march toward the Yalu River.

Old Mai's order did not even consult with the senior counselors in Washington, which made people angry, but the Joint Chiefs of Staff did not dare to be angry with Old Mai. Just saying, "This worries Washington a lot." Lao Mai replied that the Rok army was not strong enough to complete the task, so he made changes based on "military needs". And at the end of the god to add a sentence "The whole issue has been covered in the Wake Island talks." "Meaning, the president knows, you don't have to worry about it.

None of the surviving records of the Wake Island talks mention any such authorization given to MacArthur. Because he also had a private meeting with the president at that time. If this is true, and if it is not told to the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, it is a strange thing to authorize it in secret.

Some say MacArthur deliberately lured China into an offensive in order to drag the United States into a war to destroy China. His sending of U.S. troops to force the Yalu River is strong evidence.

Of course, this is only speculation, and the records at the time do not have evidence of this, but there is considerable evidence that Lao Mai, like most Americans, was convinced that China's warning was a bluff and that the war would be over in a few days. Because on October 22, MacArthur approved General Walker's request to transfer the arms carriers that were going to reach Korea to Japan, and he felt that the ammunition on the peninsula was sufficient for the time being.

MacArthur was likely to go further: to station powerful U.S. troops along the Yalu River and to base U.S. forces in Taiwan and form an alliance with Chiang Kai-shek. There is an air force, there is a nuclear weapon, plus there is a pre-emptive advantage. At that time, you can use the cards in your hand as you want, compete with us, and force us to obey.

But the Iron Fist is about to come down!
