The yalu river is in flames, and the cannons for defending the country are booming. The jackal peeped at Wu Huajiu, and the volunteer Lang created a great feat. --Cai Jing
Sixty or seventy years have passed since the Korean War, but we still remember it. Because this mighty war has brought deep memories to East Asia and even the world, it has also laid a solid foundation for the future development of our country.
There is a detailed incident in this war that took place when the PLA was named. Do not underestimate the name of this "volunteer army", which laid a solid foundation for the scale of this war and for the future restoration of normal relations between our country and the United States.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" > situation suddenly changed and difficult decisions were made</h1>
Since the outbreak of the Korean War, our country has entered a difficult situation. After the U.S. landing at Inchon, U.S. and South Korean troops had entered a counter-offensive phase.
After that, the WAR of Aggression of the United States soon spread to our country. At that time, the situation was too critical, and the plane that was supposed to invade Korea had already reached the airspace of China's northeast region to reconnoiter and even bomb the countryside, towns, and so on the border. After that, the U.S. army even bombed the City of Anton with a full 12 bombshells.
The DPRK that the United States is trying to invade and occupies is across the river from our country and seriously threatens China's security, and it will be seriously threatened from the northeast to east China and even Taiwan. At that time, if it were to launch a war of aggression against China, it would become extremely easy. At that time, Peng Dehuai and Chairman Mao agreed with each other and were determined to fight this war. After that, Chairman Mao talked to President Peng, and after President Peng said the word "fight," the decision to send troops to start the Korean War was finally determined.
Later, Peng Dehuai wrote down the conversation that day in his self-description. He figuratively likened US imperialism to a tiger, and since it is a tiger, it is bound to eat people, and we must not yield to it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42" > "Chinese Volunteer Army"</h1>
The name of the volunteer army has a great origin, and the word "volunteer" is not different from "liberation."
China is in a period of national strength recovery, and if we fight another world war, the people will be even more in deep trouble, but we must fight the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, because this will determine our country's future security and development. Our country must avoid declaring war on the great powers headed by the United States, and can only limit the scope of the war to the Korean Peninsula and not expand the scope of the war.
With this in mind, Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou initially named the army the Support Army, hoping to avoid an expansion of the scale of the war. But at this time, some people raised objections, that is, Huang Yanpei.
First, let's briefly introduce Huang Yanpei.
Born into a family of scholars, Huang Yanpei was a great educator and patriot in modern and contemporary China. He actively participated in the Anti-Japanese Salvation Movement and contributed greatly to the independence and liberation of our country.
As a democrat at that time, Huang Yanpei put forward valuable opinions. He believed that if the name was given to the Support Army, then the intention of this support war was to send troops to support Korea, and if he further asked who sent this force to support it? Then it will become China's declaration of war with the United States.
Therefore, referring to Huang Yanpei's opinion, Chairman Mao thought about it again and again and named it "Volunteer Army."
The meaning of volunteering is very different, because "volunteering" means that these soldiers took the initiative to participate in the Korean War out of individualism, and this army naturally did not bear the will of the national government, and very cleverly avoided declaring war with the United States. The title "Volunteer Army" was basically recognized by everyone.
In fact, not only does China want to control the war situation, but the United States does not dare to make the scale of the war bigger. From the very beginning, the United States invaded Korea under the banner of the "United Nations Army." Because the expansion of the war was not in line with the U.S. strategy of "europe before Asia" at that time.
Moreover, the United States has been fighting in North Korea for more than three years, which has aroused strong dissatisfaction from European allies, so the United States does not want to declare war on a big country like China.
This has created a situation in which the US military knows that it is fighting hundreds of thousands of Chinese regular troops, and has never formally questioned it - both China and the United States know it and maintain a tacit understanding of "maintaining the scale of the war".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" > remember history and remember the ancestors</h1>
The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a contest between a newly upright New China and a mighty United States, and an important battle for China to defend peace and resist aggression. This war defeated the myth of the UNdefeated God of War of the US military, laid the foundation for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and was of far-reaching significance to the situation on the Korean Peninsula, China's development, and even the formation of the world pattern.
As future generations, all we can do is mourn and remember.
Not long ago, the remains of another batch of volunteers to resist US aggression and aid Korea were sent back to the motherland.
Leaving home is still the body of a teenager, and returning is already the body of serving the country.
On September 2, the remains of the eighth batch of volunteer martyrs in Korea were transported back to China.
In that difficult war, too many volunteers were just adult children, but they did not have the slightest fear, and groups of brave soldiers of the War of Resistance emerged. Chinese People's Volunteer Army was full of vigor and courage, and for the safety of the motherland and the well-being of his family, he bravely killed the enemy.
We have not forgotten that it was their dedication and sacrifice that brought us today's quiet years.
The People's Republic of China, which they defended with their blood, is now standing proudly in the east of the world!
