The Long Live Army was defeated in Baima Mountain, and more than 6,700 people hated the territory,

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-30

As everyone knows, since the volunteers went to the Korean battlefield, they have experienced countless brutal and fierce battlesRelying on flexible and changeable tactics, indomitable perseverance, and the spirit of the soldiers who forgot to die, our army will defeat the joint army led by Lao Mei.
The 38th Army is the trump card among the trump cards in the Volunteer Army, this invincible and invincible force, braved the severe cold through the forest and snow fields, and successfully detoured behind the enemy with a rapid march of more than 140 miles in one night;As a result, he captured Sanshori and created the pinnacle of the surprise attack of the human light infantry!After that, the 38th Army fought a strong enemy in Songgu Peak, and so far it became a god in a battle, instantly breaking the myth that Lao Mei was invincible!

It is precisely because of the outstanding exploits of the 38th Army that Mr. Peng praised it angrily, so he called this elite division "Long Live Army"!But can you believe it?It was such a strong army that created the greatest defeat in the history of the US military and made the United States frightened, but it directly lost more than 6,000 people in the last battle, and ended the Korean battlefield with a painful and helpless defeat, leaving a permanent regret! !So what was the battle that made the 38th Army linger?What was the real reason for the fiasco of the 38th Army?

At the beginning of October 1952, the 38th Army fought the Battle of White Horse Mountain in the Korean battlefieldI thought that this ace army would crush the enemy in the face of absolute strength, thus creating a perfect final battle of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

However, the outcome was so unacceptable that the 38th Army and the South Korean Army fought fiercely on white horses for nine days and nightsIn the end, not only was it never able to capture the enemy's position, but it was also forced to retreat at the cost of more than 6,700 people!As everyone knows, the South Korean army has always been at the bottom of the Korean War in combat effectivenessAfter the volunteers won the beautiful Hoengseong counterattack, Li Qiwei, who was then the commander of the US Eighth Group, did not forget to spit out and criticize the poor performance of the South Korean Army in his memoirs!

Why did the South Korean Army, which had low combat effectiveness, make the mighty 38th Army regret it for the rest of its life?In the Battle of White Horse Mountain, what kind of hidden feelings are contained between the two warring parties?It must be known that the outbreak of every war is a contest between the overall strength of the enemy and the enemy, and the combat strength of the armyAt the same time, it is also a critical moment to test the hearts and minds of the two warring parties, humanity, and cohesion!

At that time, with the gradual deterioration of the situation on the battlefield in Korea, under the order of the great leader, more than 200,000 enthusiastic sons and daughters formed the first civilian volunteer army and rushed to the strange and tragic battlefield to defend the country and resist US aggression and aid Korea!Under extremely difficult combat conditions, batch after batch of brave and fearless fighters built a solid barrier with their own flesh and blood to defend the dignity of the country and the nation to the death.

However, behind these singing and crying deeds, there is never a stain that can be hidden;What exactly is this stain?That's right, this is the shameful act of hateful traitors and traitors!And the root cause of the 38th Army's hatred of the "Long Live Army" and its inability to let go of this life is that it was betrayed by ruthless traitors!Who the hell is this traitor?

Why did you do such an evil thing that people and gods are angry about?Do you hate the despicable deeds of traitors?If you feel disgusted, please type the words "traitor is shameful" on the barrage or in the comment area!In this issue, the grassroots will lead the friends to clear the fog of history and explore the unknown historical truth together!

Everyone in the world knows that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and victory and defeat have been a common thing in soldiers throughout the ages, and there is nothing wrong with this!However, the elite Long Live Army, which had strong combat effectiveness, was unfortunately defeated by the betrayal of traitors, which became an eternal pain in the hearts of the Chinese people!The traitor who chose to ruthlessly betray the motherland and betray the 38th Army was named Gu Zhong Jiao, this person's ancestral home was Hunan Province, and his original name was called Gu Zhong Lian, and he later changed his name to Gu Zhong Jiao after joining the army.

What is his origin and why did he appear in the ranks of the volunteers?This traitor had previously been an officer in the Kuomintang army, but later officially joined the PLA in June 1949, near the end of the Liberation War. Perhaps because Gu Zhongjiao has a good cultural heritage, he was recruited into the famous 38th Army of the People's Liberation Army.

As the trump card division of the four fields, the army is famous for being good at fighting tough battles and vicious battles, and it is invincible in the world during the War of Liberation!With the fall of the Chiang dynasty, there were not many wars in the country at that time;As a rare intellectual, Gu Zhongjiao is deeply respected by his superiors;After a short period of military training, he was appointed as a deputy platoon cadre of the 30th Regiment of the 114th Division of the 38th Army, and was mainly responsible for the cultural and educational promotion of the soldiers in peacetime.

Generally speaking, culture and education are also an important part of army building, which can play many roles in different revolutionary periods. Because of the special environment during the war, many soldiers did not receive systematic education;Therefore, when the illiteracy rate is generally high, the literate Guzhong Jiao naturally becomes a sweet and sweet spot in the army. However, although the theoretical level of cultural education is relatively high, most of them dare not compliment their combat qualities.

Based on this special situation, unless it is absolutely necessary, these cultural and educational teachers will definitely not participate in front-line battles. However, the situation on the Korean battlefield is changing rapidly, and when the volunteers engage a well-equipped enemy, they will inevitably fall into bitter battles and bloody battles. Since the 38th Army entered the Korean war, it has launched a tragic battle with the United **;Especially when the sniper American army on the south bank of the Han River broke out, it encountered a frantic counterattack or charge from the other side.

In the context of the tense fighting at the front, the 335th Regiment of the 38th Army also paid a heavy price;The regiment commander Fan Tianen led the soldiers in a bloody battle against Songgu Peak, and only a few dozen people survived on the battlefield after the fierce battle. In order to effectively stop the U.S. army again, Commander Fan had no choice but to let the cultural and educational backbone join the battle;Under the guidance of Fan Tianen, the cultural instructors, who usually did not even know how to throw grenades and use rifles, held their positions firmly until they received an evacuation order from their superiors.

The seemingly powerless cultural educators, who fought to the death in the face of stubborn enemies, composed a heroic hymn with their own lives, which is worthy of eternal memory and remembrance for future generations. During the Han River Blockade Battle, the soldiers of the 340th Regiment of the 38th Army also fought the enemy with indomitable progressAt that time, Gu Zhongjiao happened to be in the Seventh Company, and the whole company was almost wiped out after the tragic battleThe establishment of more than 190 people, and the post-war survivors are only a dozen people.

It was the comrades-in-arms who did not hesitate to protect themselves with their lives that Gu Zhongjiao was able to survive the battle. After the commander-in-chief Peng Lao learned of the heroic deeds of the 38th Army in blocking the enemy, his eyes couldn't help but be full of tears, so he paid tribute to the heroic troops with the title of "Long Live Army". After the tragic Han River blockade battle, although the 38th Army was victorious, it was already seriously damaged, so it was transferred back to the rear by the headquarters for rest.

During the time of recuperation, the 38th Army unexpectedly reaped gratifying good newsIt turned out that the 38th Army not only quickly replenished the source of new troops, but also replaced the entire army with advanced Soviet equipment, and its combat effectiveness was instantly upgraded by a rank.

The morale of the generals was greatly boosted, and when they expected to return to the battlefield to fight bravely against the enemy, the latest combat mission was also issued. Where will the 38th Army go?The location of the battlefield was selected between the mountains of White Horse Mountain, so the terrain of the mountain resembles a lying horse, so it was named White Horse Mountain. Mt. Bakuba is located in the Yasan-dong area of the Korean Peninsula and is also located about 10 kilometers northwest of Cheorwon.

The Hakuba Mountain Range stretches roughly three kilometers and is a strategically important military point like CheorwonTo the east of the mountain is the vast Cheorwon Plain, while to the south is the vital supply line of the United **. After successfully crossing the White Horse Mountain, not only can you easily reach the enemy's Cheorwon military station base, but also effectively build fortifications and lay the foundation for the subsequent offensive deployment of the Volunteer Army.

It is precisely because of these factors that White Horse Mountain has naturally become a battleground for soldiers, so what about the focus of the warring parties?In fact, there are two key highlands in the White Horse Mountain Range, which are the 394.8 Highlands and the 2812 Highlands.

Since the White Horse Mountain Heights are so important, which army will the United ** send to garrison?According to accurate information, the defenders stationed on the two heights were none other than the South Korean Ninth Division. Referring to the 9th South Korean Division, one has to recall the dismal achievements of this army;This army had several exchanges of fire with the 38th Army, and in the end, without exception, all of them were defeated and fled.

However, in the autumn of 1951, the 42nd Army of the Volunteer Army fought fiercely with the United ** in Baima Mountain. However, under the condition that the enemy's ** equipment was advanced and sufficient, the 42nd Army instantly fell into an extremely fierce and bitter battle. Jointly dispatched a large number of fighters to continuously bombard our positions with air superiority;Relying on strong tank raids and powerful artillery support, it caused great trouble to our army.

In the course of this process, the United Army continued to strengthen its positional defense, and did not hesitate to stop the fierce offensive of the 42 nd Army by setting up roadblocks, laying mines, and erecting barbed wire. What is the final outcome of this battle?All the officials, please like and pay attention to the grassroots, so that you can not only enjoy the wonderful content of the previous issues, but also will not miss the later dynamic sharing, let's continue to watch!Under the layers of obstacles caused by the concentration of superior military strength, the 42nd Army did not break through the enemy's blockade with hatred.

In that battle of White Horse Mountain, the 42nd Army only destroyed more than 30 enemy troops with more than 420 people. After the end of this campaign, the joint ** successfully occupied the two main positions in the White Horse Mountain;As for the South Korean troops, they became more and more arrogant, believing that the Baekba Mountain position was as impregnable as an impregnable wall. After the battle was declared lost, the headquarters of the Volunteer Army was very distressed, and it was determined that it was bound to be ashamed and recapture all the positions on Baima Mountain in one fell swoop.

In late August 1952, the headquarters of the Volunteer Army developed a combat plan, requiring the 38th Army to march towards the defenders of Baima Mountain, so as to strike at the arrogance of the South Korean Ninth Division. It is worth noting that the headquarters also ordered the 38th Army to destroy at least 5,000 enemy troops in counterattack operations;And also let the fighters occupy and consolidate their positions strongly. Why was the 38th Army chosen as the main force of the march?In addition to being known for being good at attacking tough battles and tough battles, this elite army is also fully armed with new Soviet-made equipment, which can be called a top unit specializing in killing trump cards.

Although the South Korean Army has built its position three floors inside and three layers outside, there are still US planes and tanks waiting nearbyHowever, the 38th Army has extremely rich combat experience, and is very confident that it will once again teach its former subordinates and defeated generals a lesson. In addition, the commander of the Long Live Army is also extraordinary, he is Jiang Yonghui, who is known as the "victorious general";At this time, he took over the command of Liang Xingchu and had the absolute strength to destroy the South Korean Ninth Division.

Although the Banzai Army had already won the victory, adhering to the principle of despying the enemy tactically and attaching importance to the enemy strategically, the whole army still trained hard and actively prepared for warThe heavy task of attacking Baima Mountain this time mainly fell on the shoulders of the 114th Division;forIn order to achieve the effect of winning a single blow, 114 launched special training six weeks ahead of schedule, among which the 339th Regiment and the 340th Regiment, which were responsible for assaulting the high ground, made every effort to strengthen the intensive training.

What kind of targeted drills did the fighters have?In addition to practicing lurking in front of the enemy, infantry and artillery coordination, and various tactical movements, the soldiers of the 114th Division are constantly optimizing the concealment of the army's march. However, the soldiers who studied latent warfare were able to remain silent on the battlefield in order to ensure that they were able to do soThus inventing a peculiar training method, what is unique about this method?

I saw that the soldiers deliberately chose to train in a pond where frogs livedIf the sound of frogs suddenly stops when the team is here, then the training is considered unqualified;On the contrary, when the troops arrived around the pond, the sound of frogs continued to fade and disappear, and the expected effect was truly achieved.

The 114th Division is all the soldiers, and it is under this kind of extremely strict standard training, through their unremitting efforts and hard work, that they finally trained a "first-class people" team that came and went without a trace. It is worth mentioning that the Long Live Army not only has a tiger and wolf division that must win and attack, but also assembles a large number of heavy offensive weapons for the first time.

What kind of top-notch configuration does the 38th Army have?The army collected 182 artillery pieces of various calibers, 59 antiaircraft guns for anti-aircraft combat, 17 advanced tanks, and 122 antiaircraft machine guns. Although there is still a shortage of fighters at the moment, other work is ready;It can be called "everything is ready, only the east wind is owed", just waiting for the day when the battle order is issued!With such a thorough multi-arm coordinated operation of the 38th Army, the capture of the two heights is really not worth mentioning.

Unexpectedly, on the eve of the battle, the cultural instructor Gu Zhongjiao suddenly defected to the enemy camp, what is going on?You must know that Gu Zhongjiao, as a civilian cadre, does not have too many rigid combat requirements in the army;However, in order to further enhance the combat effectiveness of the whole army, the higher authorities encouraged civilian and educational personnel to participate in military exercises.

Gu Zhongjiao looked at the new style ** in front of him, and couldn't help but have complicated feelings in his heart, what is the deep meaning of this statement?In Gu Zhongjiao's view, if you want to get a bigger and faster chance of promotion, the most direct way is to bravely go on the field and kill the enemy!Many of his comrades-in-arms who knew him before basically had military merits;And as a civilian, it is usually difficult for him to get the opportunity to play. Not to mention being able to rely on military merit to get promoted.

Under the influence of vanity and utilitarianism, Gu Zhongjiao decided to take the initiative to submit an application for training;Even at this time, he still had his own wishful thinking in his heart, what was Gu Zhongjiao's true thoughts?He believes that as long as he shows a little focus and courage in the exercise, he will be affirmed and appreciated by his superiors and prepare for gradual promotion in the future.

Moreover, Gu Zhongjiao also felt that as a scarce civilian talent in the army, he would definitely not appear on the front line in the futureIn this way, not only can you highlight your determination to kill the enemy and serve the country, but also get the opportunity to be promoted, and avoid the fate of going to the front line, which is indeed a wonderful strategy to kill multiple birds with one stone.

As Tanaka Jiao expected, his efforts to create warriors in the army were still favored and appreciated by unwitting leaders!Now that the goal of the valley has been achieved, why do you choose to betray the revolution?As the so-called world is unpredictable, Gu Zhongjiao has not been happy for a few days, and a sudden news completely disrupts his plan!A few days before the Battle of White Horse Mountain, the superiors announced the list of commandos, and the three battalions of the 340th Regiment where Gu Zhongjiao served happened to form the commando team.

The so-called commando is the death squad that charges at the front, and although the commando soldiers are the easiest to build miracles, they are also the squad closest to death!Although the 3rd Battalion was selected by the leadership as a commando, not every member was required to participate;And Gu Zhongjiao, who is a cultural teacher, has nothing to do with the commando. When other soldiers were scrambling to apply to go into battle to kill the enemy, Gu Zhongjiao also submitted an application after pondering for a while, does he also have the consciousness to fight for the country?

The answer, of course, is no!Timid and afraid of death, he thought in his heart that as a rare civilian officer, he took the initiative to ask for war, but he would definitely be rejected by the leadershipIn this way, you can win the favor of your superiors, and you don't have to really get sex. However, the leaders believed that the combat strength of the South Korean defenders was limited, and it was not impossible to let Yanaka Jiao go to experience itFirst, it will not chill the sincerity of the civilian personnel to serve the motherland, and it will also allow him to gain experience in battle.

In this way, the name of Gu Zhongjiao appeared among the commandos;Unlike the excitement of the surrounding warriors, Gu Zhongjiao's fear of death also intensifiedAt that time, the tragic scene of the Han River blockade appeared in front of him, and he felt even more panicked and uneasy, and he had no idea for a while. After much consideration, he did not choose to report to the leader;Tanaka Jiao knew that he might be able to avoid death that way, but he would never have a place in the army.

Gu Zhongjiao, who was at a loss, accidentally learned another thing, which accelerated his defection, what happened at that time?In the early stage of the raid team's participation in the war, the 342nd Regiment next door was distributing new cotton clothes;And the 340th Regiment has also successfully received the cotton clothes, but it has been refusing to distribute them for a long time, what is the situation?The fate of the commando team is uncertain, and in order to reduce the consumption of resources, the leader ordered that it be distributed when the commando team returns.

Although this move seems a bit harsh, it is really a helpless move;The volunteers, who lacked resources and had difficulties in logistical supply, had no choice but to relieve the pressure by "slamming the door". Gu Zhongjiao, who was already six gods and no owner, under the action of various emotions such as fear, resentment, and fear, finally used a cotton coat as the fuse to breed the idea of defecting to the enemy and treason.

On October 2, 1952, while the cadres were checking the road, Tanaka Jiao quietly fled to the South Korean positionAfter the commander of the Ninth Division learned of his specific intentions, he instantly bounced up from his seat and hurriedly organized relevant personnel to carry out interrogation work. Gu Zhongjiao, who was bent on rebellion, did not need to be interrogated at all, and immediately revealed the military information he knew!

Although Gu Zhongjiao did not have a core decision-maker, he was selected as a commando and naturally knew the basic deployment of the Volunteer ArmyThrough an extremely detailed discussion, he went so far as to reveal to the enemy the 38th Army's equipment, pre-battle preparations, troop deployment, and tactical decisionsWhat is even more outrageous is that Yamanaka also leaked all important issues such as the artillery deployment of the 114th Division, the approximate location of the corps, and the combat strength to the South Korean Ninth Division.

Originally, the enemy still doubted the authenticity of Tanakajiao's information, but in line with the principle of preferring to believe what he had, he promptly changed the defensive plan in response to our army's combat methods. Our side quickly found out the motive of Gu Zhongjiao, and the army commander Jiang Yonghui was anxious, and kept secretly thinking to himself, what information did the traitor reveal to the enemy?What kind of precautions did the enemy make?Should this battle be fought or not?

After thinking about it for a long time, Commander Jiang said that in order to ensure the safety of the whole army, it is necessary to abandon the battle planHowever, some generals believe that Gu Zhongjiao has just defected, and the enemy may not have made timely deploymentsIf you launch a decisive assault, you may be able to decide the battle. When the general commander hesitated, the headquarters had already made arrangements for the decisive battle.

The Banzai Army had no way out, and after a day of lurking, they launched a general attack on Mount White Horse on October 6. How will the war develop?At that time, the South Korean Army not only mobilized more artillery and gasoline bombs, but also built more than 150 bunkers throughout the nightIn addition, many obstacles have been urgently erected, many mines and anti-tank mines have been laid, and an additional company, three artillery battalions, and a tank battalion have been deployed on the hills, and US fighters are available in the air to support them at any time.

Not only that, but the enemy also buried all communication lines underground;In addition, three to seven layers of dense barbed wire were set up in front of the position, and food and water were prepared to support a week. At this moment, the White Horse Mountain position has truly become a solid defensive line. What was supposed to be an invincible raid by the Banzai Army turned into a difficult battle.

Relying on its condescending geographical superiority, the targeted deployment of traitors betraying military intelligence, and sufficient and timely logistical supplies, the South Korean Ninth Division has achieved a linear increase in combat effectiveness. After a night of fierce fighting between the two sides, the 38th Army was already extremely heavy, and the position was broken several times. When the enemy and us were locked in a stalemate, the US Air Force wantonly and indiscriminately bombed the positions of the Banzai Army, and the war situation was already not optimistic. By the time the fierce battle had lasted nine days and nights, the 38th Army had already committed five regiments.

Although most of the high ground of Hakuba Mountain has been captured, it is difficult to hold on, and it will lose its position at any time. Army Chief Jiang Yonghui knew that such a hard effort would be futile, so he evacuated after obtaining the consent of the headquartersIn the first battle of Baima Mountain, there were more than 6,700 volunteers, more than 9,400 enemy soldiers were killed and wounded, and 26 US fighters were defeated. Although the results of our army were gratifying, it was extremely disastrous, and it did not occupy the heights of Baima Mountain, which became a shameful battle for the curtain call of the Banzai Army on the Korean battlefield!With this battle, the 9th South Korean Division succeeded in the ranks of the ace team.

After the war, Lao Mei once publicly stated that most of the victories of White Horse Mountain were due to the intelligence of Tanakajiao, which is really ironic!What happened to the traitorous Jiao of the valley?After the Battle of White Horse Mountain, he lost his usefulness;South Korea eventually refused to join and sent it to China's treasure islands. The people of Taiwan are also very disgusted with this kind of traitor, so Gu Zhongjiao can only hide his nameHe had to struggle at the bottom of society, and spent his life in poverty until he died of loneliness.
