During the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, when Mr. Peng served as the commander-in-chief, the Volunteer Army and the Korean People's Army successively took the north of the 38th parallel and the south of the 38th parallel and pushed it to the 37th parallelOne person came out and said that Mr. Peng's command was inappropriate. Not only that, but after he denied Mr. Peng to no avail,He also went directly to his boss to complain.
As a result, it didn't take long for this person to be removed from his position, and he was directly transferred back to his hometown by his boss.
What's going on here?Why was this person punished so severely?
On December 4, 1950, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and the Korean People's Army established the China-North Korea Joint Command, with Mr. Peng as the commander-in-chief. On the battlefield of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, there has always been a very big gap between the Volunteer Army and the United ** in terms of military equipment.
Especially in the first few months of the DPRK,Stalin of the Soviet Union refused to provide us with equipment assistance, and the volunteers fought almost in flesh and blood.
Under such difficult conditions, the Volunteer Army still maintained good news in many battlesRelying on indomitable courage and excellent command, the Volunteer Army took command on December 4, which is also well deserved.
It can be said that Mr. Peng has played a very important role as the commander-in-chief, and his achievements are really not small, so why is this person so "unclear"?
In 1950, ** received a request for support from Kim Il Sung. After much discussion,**It was decided to send volunteers to North Korea to resist the US-led coalition together with the Korean People's Army**.
It's just that at that time, after years of war and chaos in our country, both the economy and the military were in a state of ruin. So *** asked *** to go to the Soviet Union to ask Stalin for some assistance in military equipment.
At that time, the Soviet Union had entered the Cold War with the United StatesThere will be no face-to-face confrontation with the United States, but if we only provide us with some rudimentary military equipment behind our backs, it will be nothing.
However, after *** uttered the request for assistance, Stalin directly refused.
Stalin said both inside and out:Judging from the equipment of the United States, can your volunteers fight him hard?
Absolutely can't beat it, so much equipment is given to your volunteer army,In the end, if all of them are taken away by the U.S. military, then I won't lose a lot.
Besides, if North Korea loses it, it will be lost, what's the big deal, aren't you China, my Soviet Union, all okay?
** No support was received, but the volunteers still chose to enter the Korean battlefield. There is no other reasonEntering the Korean battlefield is to support Kim Il Sung, but also to defend the country.
Of course, how could Su Dalin not understand this, in the final analysis, he still has no confidence in the volunteer army.
But,Stalin's "spectatorship" did not last long and was completely broken!
After entering the Korean battlefield, even if the volunteer army was very ordinary, they still relied on their indomitable momentumFrom the first counterattack on the Korean battlefield, no small results have been achieved.
By the end of 1950, the second campaign beganAmong them, the Battle of Changjin Lake directly defeated the "Polar Bear Corps" of the United ** and severely suppressed the arrogance of the US military.
At the same time, it also made Stalin have a great change in his opinion of our volunteersThe state of spectators was completely broken, from the reluctance to provide equipment at the beginning, to the initiative to send equipment to the door later.
In addition to this,Stalin's air force, also dressed in the clothes of the Volunteer Army or the Korean People's Volunteers, joined the battlefield under the sight of the United **. Of course, none of these Soviets who joined the battlefield would call themselves Soviet soldiers.
With the successive addition of Soviet aid, the difficult conditions of the volunteers on the battlefield have also improved a lotBut at the same time, it also means that individual "third-party" personnel seem to be starting to brush up on their "presence".
As early as the beginning of the Korean War, some Soviet military advisers came to the battlefield one after another.
According to common sense, Peng Lao is always the commander of the Sino-North Korean Joint Command and has the right to command the chief. But when it comes to strategic decision-making, it is inevitable that there will be some different voices.
Among them was the Soviet ambassador to the DPRK and the general adviser of the Korean People's Army, Razovaev.
In the latter part of World War II, Razovaev served as the commander of the Soviet ArmyThere are also some combat experiences and unique views on the battlefield.
January 7, 1951 was the eighth day of the Third Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. In this short period of eight days, the Chinese and North Korean armies have already fought the battle line south of the 38th parallel to the 37th parallel.
At the time, on the surface, it could be said that it was a lot of momentum.
If we only talk about the results, from October 1950, the Volunteer Army arrived on the Korean battlefield, and the first and second battles after that also achieved good victoriesdirectly impressed the Soviet Union with the combat power of the volunteers, and even the U.S. military had to pay attention to this seemingly simple volunteer army.
In the third campaign,If we continue to pursue south of the 38th parallel, the result seems to be that we will inevitably drive in the direction of victory.
However, on the occasion of this good momentum, Mr. Peng resolutely ordered: Stop the pursuit!Therefore, the third campaign came to a halt on January 8.
This decision was very incomprehensible to the top of the North Korean army.
Among them, Jin Ilcheng ran directly in front of Mr. Peng and asked why he stopped the attack, and if he continued to move forward and won more areas south of the 38th parallel, wouldn't it be good?
Mr. Peng naturally understands what Kim Il Cheng thinks soAfter all, the fat that is about to reach the mouth, who can say give up. But Mr. Peng stopped because he was responsible for the lives of the soldiers.
After entering the Korean battlefield, on the surface, although the Chinese and North Korean armies have won a lot of battles, under the battlefield, the soldiers are working hard to support. The war to resist US aggression and aid Korea is in no hurry!
If you continue to make great progress along the way, don't say anything elseIt is a question whether the materials ** and the bodies of the fighters can be connected.
Moreover, according to the third campaign,Judging from the response of the joint **, it is also a bit like the main force has not come out.
If the Chinese and North Korean armies continue to advance south,Wait until it gets deeper and deeper, and at that time, once the main forces of the United ** are dispatched in large numbers and attack left and right, then the Chinese and North Korean armies will be in danger.
Later, when Mr. Peng recalled the decision made on January 7, he said"At that time, although the United ** in front of us was defeated all the way, when I looked back, some of the United ** had been bombing our material supply line. ”
"Once the supplies are cut off and the left and right are flanked, then hundreds of thousands of our soldiers are in danger. At that moment, I felt more scared than I had ever felt before, and I had never been so scared in the decades that had been fought in the past. ”
Mr. Peng's operational decision-making can be said to be a synthesis of his keen understanding of the battle situation and his analysis of our side and the enemy. After Mr. Peng's explanation to Kim Il Sung, Kim Il Sung understood.
However, Razovaev of the Soviet Union did not agree with Mr. Peng's decisioneven accused Mr. Peng in person, so that Mr. Peng immediately changed his decision, and it was best to expel United ** from the Korean Peninsula at lightning speed.
In this regard, Mr. Peng explained many times. But Razovaev didn't listen to it, and just blindly asked Mr. Peng to change his decision.
Finally,Razovaev directly sued Mr. Peng's "wrong" decision directly to Stalin.
At the same time that Stalin received the telegram, Mr. Peng also reported the current situation to ***.
After all, the Soviet Union and New China at that time had friendly relationsIf this problem affects the relations between the two countries, it will not work. So Mr. Peng told *** about his concerns and the current situation.
At the same time, in order to prevent Razovaev's complaint from "succeeding" and affecting the situation of the war, Mr. Peng directly issued a military order in the telegram
"Judging from the current situation, our army can no longer continue to advance south of the 38th parallel, and if this decision is wrong, I will take the ultimate responsibility and let it be dealt with by military law. ”
On the other side, after receiving Mr. Peng's telegram, he quickly understood what Mr. Peng meant, not to mention that Mr. Peng was the commander-in-chief of the Chinese and North Korean armies at that timeLet's just say that his decision, ** is also supported and recognized.
So *** gave this telegram to Stalin.
Stalin in the Soviet Union did not immediately reply when he received the telegramInstead, he contacted two of his subordinates, Voroshilov and Bulganin, and asked them for their opinions.
The ideas of the two are surprisingly consistent, and they both support Mr. Peng's style of playIt's step-by-step and not easy to take risks.
To put it bluntly, since the Volunteer Army entered the Korean battlefield, the successive victories have been obvious to all, not to mention, at the beginning, the conditions of the Volunteer Army were still so difficult. This is absolutely inseparable from Mr. Peng's command.
In fact, Stalin thought the same thing in his heart. So after briefly questioning the two of them, he directly sent a telegram back to ***.
On the one hand, it is to review the achievements of the Volunteer Army under the leadership of Mr. Peng in the past few monthsHe expressed his deep admiration for Mr. Peng's command experience and strategic vision, and said that Mr. Peng was always a genius military strategist.
On the other hand,It was a harsh criticism of Razovaev, who was "meddling", saying that the operational commander of the Chinese and North Korean armies is Mr. Peng, and this will not change.
It seems that after saying that, Stalin felt that it was not enough, and it was the end of the preparation of two thousand cars overnight, as well as the provision of more than three hundred MiG-15 destroyers to the Air Force.
On the other hand, after receiving Stalin's telegram of "criticism", Razovaev was very depressed.
I don't know if it was because it was too faceless to stay on the battlefield, or for some reasonIn short, he was dismissed by Stalin and transferred back to the Soviet Union.
After this incident, it not only showed the attitude of our army, but also laid a good foundation for the return of Mr. Peng and the arrival of the new commander.
Taken together, the reason why Stalin so decisively withdrew Razovaev, who was a commander during World War II, to the country is not difficult to see two key factors.
One is that Mr. Peng was in the past battlesExcellent combat capabilities demonstrated；The second is the strength of our country in the first few battles to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
In the face of national relations and "face", it is still strength that speaks, and this is the case with the transfer of Razovaev back to China, and Stalin was reluctant to assist the Volunteer Army at first, but then took the initiative to support equipment, and the same is true.
