In the history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the "Tieyuan Blockade Battle" is famous for its brutality, fierceness and hardship. The protagonist of this blocking battle was the 63rd Army of the Chinese People's Volunteers under the command of General Fu Chongbi. Many people know that General Fu Chongbi once served as the commander of the Beijing Garrison twice, and assumed the great responsibility of guarding the capital and defending the capital. In the "Tieyuan Blockade Battle", Fu Chongbi, who was the commander of the army, was also seriously injured, so you can imagine what kind of vicious and dangerous battle this was. After the battle, after four days of rescue, General Fu Chongbi, commander of the 63rd Army, finally woke up. 
Mr. Peng, the commander of the Volunteer Army, rushed to the hospital as soon as possible to visit this heroic commander who was not afraid of death and successfully turned the tide of the war. After seeing Mr. Peng, Commander Fu Chongbi said three words in a weak voice: "I want soldiers." As soon as the words came out, everyone present burst into tears. Mr. Peng has been in the army for decades, and he is used to seeing life and death, so he has long been trained to be "hard-hearted". Even so, Mr. Peng was moved by Commander Fu Chongbi's three words. Although Mr. Peng tried his best to control his emotions, there were still tears in his eyes. He solemnly comforted Commander Fu Chongbi: "I'll give you soldiers, and I'll give you 20,000 first!.""A week later, 20,000 officers and soldiers were all replenished, including thousands of veterans from the northwest. With 20,000 soldiers replenished at a time, the battle losses of the 63rd Army of the Volunteer Army can be imagined. In the 12-day defensive operation, the 63rd Army suffered considerable losses, and the US Army's battle losses were as high as 1More than 50,000 people. What kind of battle is this?In the spring of 1951, the Chinese People's Volunteers launched the fifth campaign, eliminating more than 40,000 US and South Korean troops. However, the disadvantages of the volunteers' logistical support were also undoubtedly revealed at this time. The Americans caught the weakness of our army, and they called the pattern of our army's offensive the "worship offensive". Seeing that the grain, grass and ammunition were about to run out, Mr. Peng had no choice but to order the entire line to retreat and rest. 
Li Qiwei took the opportunity to order his troops to make a frantic counterattack, and the US army concentrated more than 200,000 people, more than 1,600 artillery pieces, and more than 300 tanks, in a vain attempt to wipe out the main force of the Volunteer Army south of the 38th parallel. Mr. Peng and Li Qiwei coincidentally fell in love with one place: Tieyuan. Mr. Peng decided to set up a blocking line here to stop the advance of the American army, and Tieyuan was the only barrier and "wedge" for the volunteers to retreat north. Li Qiwei wants to have a decisive battle with the squadron ** here, and if he wants to encircle and annihilate the main force of the squadron, he must take Tieyuan to block the retreat. Who will bear the heavy responsibility of stopping a strong enemy?Mr. Peng chose Fu Chongbi's 63rd Army, because among all the troops participating in the war, only the 63rd Army had relatively sufficient ammunition supplies. He was well aware of the importance of this battle, and that the Battle of Cheorwon "affected the whole body." Once the attack failed, our army would face the danger of annihilation, and the history of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea would also be rewritten. Mr. Peng's order to Commander Fu Chongbi was: to block the US army head-on for 15 days and cover the northward retreat of our army's main force. In addition, Mr. Peng told Fu Chongbi: Even if the 63rd Army is exhausted, it must hold the defensive line!At the age of 35, Commander Fu Chongbi was ordered to be in danger. In the face of a strong enemy, Commander Fu Chongbi was determined to adopt the "positional sparrow warfare" method, and the 189th Division of the 63rd Army, which was responsible for frontal operations, concretely implemented this as a "nail tactic." Cai Changyuan, commander of the 189th Division, was very familiar with the offensive routine of Van Vliet, the commander of the US Army, and he reversed the routine of concentrating superior forces, and divided the division's 9,400 men into pieces and divided them into more than 200 combat units. 
These combat units were dispersed to the corners of the position, which was called "positional sparrow warfare". In order to ensure ideological unity and execution, Cai Changyuan issued an order that all deputy cadres in the division should be "lowered" to one level. As a result, cadres at the deputy division level "sank" to the regiments, and cadres at the deputy regimental level "sank" to the battalions, and each combat unit was a "nail" stuck in the position. This is the "nail tactic". Therefore, although the US military has fierce firepower, it cannot find the focus of the attack and is caught in an endless "war of attrition to pull out the nails." The US troops fought hard for three days and three nights, and despite the absolute superiority in manpower and firepower, they could only "look at the iron plain and sigh." On June 4, Zhang Yinghui, commander of the 188th Division, known as an "expert in tunnel warfare", led his troops to take over the defensive position of the 189th Division. As soon as he entered the position, Division Commander Zhang "built a large number of buildings" and transformed the trenches and anti-artillery holes into a criss-crossing trench defense network. As a result, the tanks of the US army will be useless, and as soon as they are planted in it, they will be turned into the sky and unable to move. Division Commander Zhang Yinghui also gathered all the sharpshooters in the division and formed several combat groups to specialize in sniping at US machine gunners and officers. Fortunately, the American machine gunners and officers were beaten as soon as they appeared, and then they simply hid behind trenches or tanks, and never "took the lead" again. The 188th Division also blew up the reservoir, completely incapacitating the American tanks, and bought the follow-up troops a few more days. When the water receded, the U.S. military was preparing to attack again, and at this time, whether it was Cai Changyuan or Zhang Yinghui, they had already used their tactics to the limit. Commander Fu Chongbi finally called on Xu Xin's 187th Division. Brave, strategic, and lucky, this is the evaluation of Xu Xin by his comrades-in-arms. Previously, the protagonists of the battle in Cheorwon were the 188th and 189th Divisions, and Xu Xin's 187th Division always served as the main force of the right flank defense. However, as the fighting on the front line became more and more intense, the troops of the 187th Division were constantly drawn to the front line to "fight fires", and as soon as they got on the line of fire, they were "glued" to the front line and could not be withdrawn at all. 
In the face of the stubborn resistance of the Volunteer Army, the US Army Chief General Van Vliet scratched his head many times and asked the staff officers around him: "What kind of troops is this, why is it so difficult to eliminate them!"However, after more than 10 days of fierce fighting, the US military gradually mastered the operational laws of the volunteers. The front of Cheorwon is a hilly area, and if the US army is forced down with saturated firepower, if it wants to hold its position, the 187th Division cannot rely on its will alone. What made Xu Xin even more anxious was that by June 9, the actual strength that Xu Xin could use was only one regiment. How should this battle be fought?Division Commander Xu Xin reported his plan to Commander Fu Chongbi: "*in" ** plan, Xu Xin mobilized the brains of the artillery of the 63rd Army. Until the Battle of Tieyuan was fought until now, Commander Fu Chongbi has been "hiding" this artillery unit and has never been willing to use it. Commander Fu Chongbi gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table: "That's it!."Whether you can complete the task or not depends on this hammer deal!Fu Chongbi assigned all the artillery to Xu Xin. Division Commander Xu Xin took out all his "belongings", took the officers and soldiers of the division to a full meal, and then led his troops into the position. On the night of June 10, Xu Xin gave the order to attack. The artillery of the 63rd Army was dispatched together and quietly entered the position. At 2 o'clock in the morning, the artillery of the 63rd Army opened fire intensively, and in a short time all the shells were fired. This is what Commander Fu Chongbi called "a one-shot deal". The US tank camp on the front position suddenly became a sea of fire. What's even more lively is that the artillery of the 63rd Army hit the ammunition depot of the US army with one shot, which immediately caused a violent chain **, and the liveliness of the scene was far greater than the shelling of the volunteers. Taking advantage of the confusion of the American army, the commandos of the 187th Division launched a surprise attack on the American camp, and the soldiers even threw grenades directly into the tents of the American troops. The battered U.S. troops had no choice but to withdraw from their positions. 
On June 11, Li Qiwei issued an order to "suspend the attack beyond the Tieyuan Line" and organize a defense on the spot. On June 12, the Volunteer Army completed the strategic transfer, and in accordance with the order of the Zhiji, the 63rd Army withdrew from its positions. In the Cheorwon Blockade Battle, the 63rd Army fought hard for 12 days and nights, and stopped the repeated attacks of 50,000 American troops with a simple **. In the fierce battle, there were only two or three people left in many squads and platoons, and the army commander Fu Chongbi was also seriously wounded in the battle, and finally had to lie on a stretcher to command the battle. The ragged commanders and fighters of the 63rd Army finally withdrew to the rear, and Commander Fu Chongbi was carried directly to the hospital. Yang Dezhi of the 19th Corps took most of the personnel of the headquarters and sent new uniforms, cigarettes and food to the 63 officers and men. The headquarters of the Volunteer Army also transported a batch of Moutai liquor from China for the first time, and Mr. Peng personally instructed: "All of them will be sent to the 63rd Army, and one bottle will be rewarded for each class." "The curtain of the Cheorwon Resistance Battle finally fell, and the fifth battle ended at the same time. The Volunteers took advantage of the time gained in the Battle of Cheorwon to rebuild a solid defense system in the Icheon area at the bottom of the Iron Triangle. The U.S. military has never fought such a hard battle, and by now, they are exhausted. People of insight in the United States also reminded the United States: From this point of view, it is an unrealistic fantasy to completely defeat the squadron, and it is far better to end the war in a compromise way and dignity. A month later, the Panmunjom negotiations began in earnest, and peace began to show the light of day in the devastated country.
