In July 1953, the Korean Armistice Agreement was formally signed, marking China's great victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. This war was a heroic battle against aggression and defending the country under extremely difficult conditions in the early days of the founding of New China.
From October 1950 to July 1953, the Chinese and North Korean armies fought side by side, and after two years and nine months of bloody fighting, the "United **" led by the United States finally had to raise their hands and surrender, which can be called a miracle. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea can be regarded as a battle for the founding of New China and a just war, and its significance has gone beyond the scope of victory or defeat, not only thwarting the arrogance of the United States, but also enabling New China to gain strategic benefits in many aspects.
China's victory in this battle has attracted the attention of the rest of the world, and Japan's reaction has been particularly real. In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, there was a huge disparity in strength between China and the United States. In terms of economic strength, China's total industrial and agricultural output at that time was only 57.4 billion yuan, equivalent to US$28 billion, while the total output value of the United States in the same period reached US$280 billion, 10 times that of China.
The weakness of national strength means that there is a huge difference between China and the United States in terms of equipment. The U.S. military has put the world's most advanced ** into the Korean battlefield, with more than 2,000 aircraft, which can directly support ground forces in combat;There are also nearly 300 ships of various kinds, including aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, etc., which are strong.
In addition, the ground forces of the US military are even more first-class, all mechanized and motorized, and a division has 140 tanks, 30 armored vehicles, and more than 700 artillery pieces of various kinds, which is a grand scale. The US military's logistical supply, battlefield assault force, and communications equipment should not be underestimated. China's power pales in comparison to that.
In the Korean battlefield, China's navy did not participate in the war, the air force was almost not dispatched in the early stage, and the number of fighters in the later period was less than 500, mainly fighters and a small number of bombers. The ground forces have less than 500 infantry artillery pieces, and the equipment is old, although the number of artillery pieces in the later period exceeds that of the US army, but the overall quality is still lagging behind. In terms of firepower, communications equipment, logistics, and so on, our army is even more inferior and cannot be compared with the US military.
The US military has completely mastered air and sea supremacy on the battlefield and launched an all-round modern war, while the squadron can almost only deal with a plane war with backward equipment, and the difficulty can be imagined. However, despite the extremely asymmetrical national strength, troops, and equipment, the squadron finally defeated the arrogant invaders. What kind of miraculous power did this make our army win a great victory in the war?First of all, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea itself is of a just nature.
After the outbreak of the Korean Civil War, the United States immediately intervened with armed force, quickly pushed the Korean issue to the international stage, exposed its ambitions, and attempted to covet China by taking advantage of the invasion of Korea. China decided to strike hard to deal a thorough blow to the arrogance of the aggressors, and to resist US aggression and aid Korea became a just war. Second, the heroic and fearless spirit and high patriotism of the Chinese People's Volunteers are the key to the ultimate victory.
The soldiers of the Chinese People's Volunteers deeply loved the motherland, united with the Korean people, and possessed firm will and tenacious perseverance to defeat the enemy in the end. Finally, the Chinese Volunteers have been inspired and supported by peace-loving people throughout the country and around the world. The United States, which likes to provoke wars, has been isolated, while China has become the greatest victor in safeguarding peace in Asia and the world.
After the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, all countries in the world had to re-examine New China and the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Marshall said unabashedly: "The United States was defeated by China, and it turned out that it was not a so-called power." βγ
In addition, Clark, the third commander-in-chief of the "United **", when he was forced to sign an armistice, said self-deprecatingly: "I did not expect that I became the first American commander in history to sign an armistice without victory, and this pain is indescribable." βγThe victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea not only smashed the hegemony and arrogance of the United States, but also caused a great shock to the Soviet Union.
Stalin changed his distrust of the Chinese Communist Party and the new China, relinquishing the railway and port interests in northeastern China that he had obtained under the Yalta Agreement. Stalin had long been contemptuous of the Chinese Communist Party and ***, and did not believe at all that Chinese Marxism could germinate in the ravine. Moreover, just when the war of liberation was about to be won, Stalin actually asked the CCP to divide the river and rule.
But after the decision to resist US aggression and aid Korea and achieve victory, Stalin finally saw clearly the great strength that China showed on the battlefield. It is said that he was incredulous when he heard the news of China's victory, and he also praised *** as a "genius military strategist". In addition, Japan's reaction was the most real.
After hearing the news of the War Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Japanese war criminals imprisoned in the Fushun War Criminals Management Center cheered one after another, and their hostility towards China became even stronger, and they even shouted to the East Long live the Japanese emperor.
Despite the repeated emphasis on preferential treatment of prisoners and the fact that these war criminals were given the best care, it is ironic that they are still immersed in the illusion of being dependent on the US military even though they have been dropped two atomic bombs by the United States.
China's great victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea not only made the so-called legend of "invincible and invincible" of the United States an international laughing stock, but more importantly, when the news of the armistice agreement came, the Japanese war criminals realized that their dream was just an illusion. They went from euphoria to despair, gradually undergoing a complete transformation, and finally being reborn.
