In June 1953, the United States decided to sign an armistice with China and North Korea, ending the long war. However, after being informed of the negotiations, he said that he had decided to continue to increase the number of troops by 300,000. This decision came as a surprise at the moment when the armistice was imminent. ** Believe that sending these 300,000 troops into North Korea can give them the opportunity to practice in real combat. Although the U.S. military is ready to withdraw, ** has a different view, believing that the situation in South Korea may not be calm. On the contrary, South Korea's Syngman Rhee has shown great ambition after the US withdrawal and is trying to obstruct the negotiation process.
However, the U.S. military was so tired of him that they kicked him out of the negotiating table. Rhee's irritation turned elsewhere as he tried to obstruct the negotiations, but did not actually gain the upper hand. Although Rhee showed courage on the battlefield, his army was vulnerable. He secretly detained volunteer prisoners of war that the U.S. military had promised to release, and incorporated these fighters into the South Korean army as coolies. In addition, he released 270,000 North Korean prisoners of war were forcibly integrated into the South Korean army in an attempt to provoke another war with China. Rhee's obstinate behavior led to an impasse in negotiations between China and the United States.
Rhee's actions made everyone who witnessed the scene feel that he had lost his mind, and even the South Korean people at the time were stunned by his behavior. Completely disregarding the future and fate of the country, he insisted on shouting the desperate slogan that "even if the United Nations surrenders, South Korea will continue to fight until the last moment." This move made the Western countries led by the United States feel very embarrassed, and they are no longer willing to continue fighting, but at this time, Syngman Rhee suddenly jumped out, putting the United States in an embarrassing situation.
The United States was outraged by this, issued a statement condemning Rhee's actions and decided to take a wait-and-see attitude and no longer provide military assistance to him. It is only when many realize that ***'s prediction is so accurate, and that this chaos in North Korea is clearly not over. ** Syngman Rhee's position is also very resolute, he believes that it is impossible to ** such an arrogant and stubborn guy at the negotiation table, and the most direct and effective way is to "use force". Therefore, after Syngman Rhee's action, ** issued an order to the Korean front: "The signing of the armistice agreement is postponed, and South Korea is completely defeated first."
After receiving instructions from ***, ** launched the Battle of Jincheng on July 13. This battle provided a valuable opportunity for the 300,000 volunteers who entered the DPRK to fight against the ace unit of South Korea, known as the "Capital Division", and the "White Tiger Regiment", which was later remembered by the Koreans. Before that, the Volunteer Army and this unit had not fought each other. The enemy was at first very confident that they had the strongest defenses on the entire peninsula, and Rhee thought that the army could stay in the city forever and delay the volunteers for a year and a half.
However, in the face of the so-called strong city defense, the volunteer soldiers did not say much, but took the most direct way - artillery bombardment. Our army sent five divisions to surround the enemy position, and then threw in 1,500 mortars, 20 tanks and more than 700,000 shells. From the data alone, it can be imagined that the psychological pressure caused by such a formation to the enemy is extraordinary, and the sound of artillery has not yet sounded, and many enemies in the city are already frightened. The outcome is a foregone conclusion. After a whole day of artillery bombardment, the enemy was already in a precarious position, but still stubbornly resisted.
At this time, General Yang Yucai came up with a new idea, he led a team of soldiers, changed into the enemy's military uniform, and mixed into the city, intending to give the enemy a surprise blow. Yang Yucai led the team into the city easily, destroyed the headquarters of the White Tiger Regiment, except for the regiment commander, the White Tiger Regiment was wiped out, which was the famous "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment" battle. Then, Yang Yucai successfully destroyed the enemy's oil storage and ammunition depots, which shook the enemy's mind. The Volunteer Army took advantage of the situation to launch a frontal attack, and the enemy was defeated and retreated, and finally collapsed, and our army won a complete victory.
Throughout the process of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, this battle did not receive special attention, because a series of military mistakes of the South Korean army staged an absurd drama that made the whole battle like a comedy. As the leader of the country, it is really ridiculous that the ace troops led by Syngman Rhee were so defeated. In the days that followed, China and the United States sat down at the negotiating table again. With the great victory in the previous days, China was more emboldened in the negotiations, and the United States had to assure China that South Korea would no longer interfere in the signing and implementation of the armistice agreement for any reason and release the prisoners of war.
If Rhee dares to act arbitrarily again, the United Nations will no longer provide him with any assistance. On the other hand, under pressure from both countries, Syngman Rhee had to sign his name to the agreement, albeit unwillingly. At this point, the war came to an end, and the history of China and the United States was affected as a result. For China in particular, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a successful war of nation-building, and since then, no one has waged war against China rashly. Only by strengthening oneself can the country establish its true status.
