"The Art of War" has a cloud: soldiers, sophistry. In the wars of the past dynasties, I have paid attention to the role of intrigue. As the saying goes, "soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent". In the eyes of the Chinese generals, it was not necessary to destroy the enemy on the way. On the contrary, a temporary retreat can give the enemy a head-on blow. And this is difficult for straight-thinking Westerners to grasp. Therefore, in the battles with the Orientals, they repeatedly suffered losses. Especially during the period of the Mongol expedition to the west, the European knights often used the Mongols to kill the whole army with the "technique of pseudo-retreat and showing weakness". Even in modern warfare, they don't have a long memory. 
In October 1950, the Chinese People's Volunteers crossed the Yalu River and started the Great War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. In the first battle, our army defeated the joint ** that was advancing north to the Sino-Korean border at Yunshan, and annihilated the enemy 150,000, most of them South Korean soldiers. MacArthur, the supreme commander of the US Far East, did not care at all about this defeat. This is because when our army entered the DPRK, the concealment work was really good. Hundreds of thousands of troops quietly crossed the Yalu River by day and night, while the US military had air superiority without detecting it at all. After the end of the first battle, the Chinese newspapers did not report on the battle, but let the Xinhua News Agency publish a brief message: "With the participation of the Chinese People's Volunteers, the Korean People's Army won a major victory, annihilating 6,000 enemies in one day and recovering a vast area." In this short editorial, the Volunteer Army is deliberately portrayed as an affiliate of the Korean People's Army. But in fact, in the first battle, the volunteer army played the main role. 
Not only that, but after the victory, the Volunteer Army actually retreated on all fronts. The soldiers of the Volunteer Army were puzzled: "They all said that they would pursue the victory, why do we have to retreat now?"MacArthur naturally had his "high views" about this. In his opinion, this is naturally "the Chinese are afraid." On the one hand, there are indeed some Chinese people who entered the war in Korea, but they mainly participated in the form of volunteers, and the number did not exceed 9,000;On the other hand, China's equipment is inferior and in ruins, so how dare it confront the US military, which has just won World War II. Even if you are going to go to war on a large scale, why not join the battle at the beginning of the war. Now that the vast majority of the territory of the DPRK has been jointly conquered and occupied, the overall situation has been decided, what role can the squadron play?Therefore, the United ** did not slow down the pace of its northward advance due to the defeat of the first campaign. On the contrary, they also galloped towards the Yalu River at a faster speed. Compared to MacArthur's imperiousness and arrogance, the cunning British were much more sober, and they repeatedly warned MacArthur that "the situation is in danger". 
Among them, the British strongly demanded that MacArthur immediately slow down his advance. However, MacArthur would not have taken the two little brothers of England and France seriously. MacArthur ridiculed the British, saying, "Do you want to recall the Munich conspiracy?"In desperation, the British only continued to work with the Americans. On the way to the march, the United ** found that the squadron "lost its armor", "collapsed at the touch of a button", and "fled in all directions", and their equipment, clothes and hats were lost to the ground. Walking and walking, the United ** also encountered more than a thousand prisoners of the United ** one after another. The soldiers were captured in the first battle, only to be released by the volunteers halfway through the battle. When they were released, the political commissars of the volunteers also told them: "Your napalm is too powerful, please don't blow us up again!.""We don't have many people, we just want to protect the Yalu River hydropower stations, without their electricity, our factories in the northeast would not be able to operate at all." ”
** The ecstasy soup poured into MacArthur deceived him into becoming more and more unstoppable. Even the British dispelled their doubts, believing that the squadron was vulnerable. So MacArthur ordered the army to march north at a faster pace to end this damned war as soon as possible. As the saying goes, "you have to do enough to do drama, and you have to dig deep when you dig holes". In order to continue to lure MacArthur into the bait, ** resolutely ordered: "Telegram to all armies, on the initiative to retreat more than ten kilometers, abandon all forms of footprints, counterattacks, and must retreat in great strides!.""The repeated retreat of the squadron has filled the United with optimism. Intelligence Chief Willoughby said: "The Chinese are only volunteers, and the actual combat strength is only one battalion. The last campaign was lost because of our lack of vigilance. ”
MacArthur, on the other hand, said: "China is not an indescribable force, with a maximum of 60,000 or 70,000 troops. Our air force basically scattered them and frightened them. So he said proudly: "We're going to end the war before Thanksgiving, and we're going to send the kids home before Christmas." In this way, MacArthur thought that the situation was settled, and he also relaxed the control of military secrets, so that the volunteers only listened to the United States. Broadcasts from Japan and South Korea make it clear where the enemy troops are. However, MacArthur never expected that the United ** under his command had already penetrated into the net arranged by the Volunteer Army. The officers and men of our army, who are constantly retreating, are like arrows about to leave the string, ready to deliver the most fatal blow to the enemy. 
On the evening of November 25, the volunteers who had been dormant for a long time and waited for work suddenly came out of their hiding places, and the 38th Army, 39th Army, 40th Army, 42nd Army, 50th Army, 66th Army and other units marched in unison, launching a large-scale detour and interspersed against the joint **. Countless signal flares shot into the sky, and hundreds of thousands of volunteer soldiers, inspired by the military horns, launched an overwhelming offensive against the enemy. At this time, the United ** is temporarily staying because of Thanksgiving. With America's strong logistical force**, front-line soldiers have access to roast turkey, fruit salad, cake and beer. And South Korea and other allies also stained the light of the Americans, munching turkey meat with American GIs. However, they did not seem to have expected that the squadron had already penetrated into their flanks and rear under the cover of night. At that time, the left-wing forces, mainly the US military, were advancing faster, while the right-wing forces, mainly the South Korean army, were moving more slowly. Persimmon wants to find a soft pinch, and the Korean army has poor combat effectiveness, so naturally take them first. Therefore, the Volunteer Army, with the 38th Army as the vanguard, cut through the defense line of the South Korean Second Army at once, like a hot knife cutting butter, and beat the enemy to the ground. The Second Army completely collapsed in half a day and ceased to exist. 
At the same time, the 40th Army made a surprise attack on the 2nd Division of the US Army. Under the severe cold conditions of more than minus 20 degrees, the officers and men braved the fierce fire of the "joint **" to defeat the 9th Regiment of the 2nd Division, annihilated 3 companies of the division at Xinxingdong, and annihilated more than 200 enemies in Sumindong on the 26th. The remainder of the 2nd Division fled south along the Qingchuan River. In the following days, the various units of the 40th Army pursued day and night, braving the fire of "United **" aircraft, artillery and tanks, and fought many small-scale battles of annihilation: annihilating more than 2 companies of the US army in Liudong;Defeated 1 battalion of the US army in Longshuidong and destroyed more than 150 enemies;Destroy one enemy in the courtyard and blow up 13 heavy tanks;In Li, the 38th Regiment and the 38th Division of the US Army were defeated, 1 battalion of the enemy was annihilated, and dozens of trains and mountains of war materials were captured. In this battle, our army dealt a devastating blow to the U.S. 2nd Division, wiped out most of the Turkish brigade, and inflicted heavy losses on the U.S. 25th Division, the 1st U.S. Cavalry Division, the British 29th Brigade, and a large number of South Korean troops. After this brilliant victory, our army annihilated a total of 3 enemiesThe 60,000-strong front was also pushed from the border between China and North Korea to the 38th parallel, and Pyongyang, which had been in the country for many days, was finally recovered. In this battle, the once arrogant MacArthur was beaten to the ground, and his "sending the children home before Christmas" became a complete joke. Many years later, the United States ** Shi Jun scolded MacArthur for his arbitrary change of career, which "led to the joint **" falling for the tricks of the Chinese. In this showdown of famous generals, the grassroots *** taught MacArthur, a top student at West Point, a good lesson. "Win with the right and win with the odd". The victory of our army in the second battle was a surprise victory. Our volunteer soldiers not only have the courage to not fear life and death, but also have a brilliant strategy. It is precisely because of their wisdom and courage that the situation of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea has suddenly become clearer.
