In the Cheorwon Blockade Battle, the three divisions of the 63rd Army took turns to fight, each using a major blockade tactic, and blocked the joint ** for 11 days, although ** was huge, but finally completed the blocking task assigned by the Shiji, and the Battle of Cheorwon is legendary.
When the commander of the 19th Corps received the order to block the attack of Shiji Tieyuan, the closest to Tieyuan was the 63rd Army, in the fifth battle, after more than a month of fierce fighting, the 63rd Army was greatly reduced, and only about 24,000 people were left in the whole army, which was a relatively complete army of the 19th Corps at that time. On May 30, 1951, Fu Chongbi, commander of the 63rd Army, received an order to block the attack in Tieyuan, asking the 63rd Army to cooperate with the 65th Army to block the enemy in Tieyuan for 15 to 20 days.
Due to the lack of logistics, after the fifth battle lasted nearly a month, the whole army of the Volunteer Army was short of ammunition and food, and was no longer able to attack, so Zhiji ordered a retreat. The lack of coordination and cooperation between the troops, the joint and rapid counterattack, led to a huge gap in the Cheorwon area in the middle of our army's defense line, once the enemy broke through this gap, not only will it cut off our army's defense line, but our eastern front troops may also be surrounded by the enemy. In order to block the attack of the joint **, the Volunteer Army began to build defensive positions near the 38th parallel, which also took time, the 63rd Army understood the weight of Cheorwon's blockade, and after receiving the order, the 63rd Army immediately rushed to the battlefield.
After arriving at the battlefield, Fu Chongbi was under tremendous pressure, because the enemy he had to block was too strong, far beyond the capabilities of the 63rd Army. At that time, the United ** concentrated 4 divisions, a total of more than 47,000 people, more than 1,300 artillery pieces, more than 200 tanks, and more than 300 aircraft, and rushed towards Tieyuan with great momentum, less than a day's journey from the 63rd Army.
Innovative tactics and nail tactics amaze the battlefield.
The 63rd Army defended the front with a width of 25 kilometers and a defensive depth of about 20 kilometers, and Fu Chongbi placed the 187th Division on the right flank, the 189th Division on the left flank, and the 188th Division in the rear as the army reserve. In the face of such a powerful enemy, Fu Chongbi knew that without strong fortifications, the task could not be completed no matter what, and it took time to build fortifications. He ordered Cai Changyuan, commander of the 189th Division, to let the 189th Division hold for three days no matter what, to buy time for the 63rd Army to build fortifications.
Cai Changyuan decided to divide the officers and men of the 189th Division into more than 200 combat groups, each with a minimum of three people and a maximum of several dozen people, scattered throughout the battlefield, relying on favorable terrain to build positions, desperately blocking the attack, and placing heavy troops only at a few key points. This nail tactic, although at the cost of soldiers' lives, in the three days that the 189th Division blocked the United **, these nails were constantly pulled out by the United **, and each time a nail was removed, the United ** had to pay a certain amount of ** and consume a certain amount of time.
Breaking through tradition, three golden flower tactics.
When the 188th Division replaced the 189th Division and entered the position, a number of fortifications had already been repaired. In the 188th Division, the 563rd Company of the 8th Regiment created the "Three Golden Flowers" tactic. Using fortifications, this tactic was extremely efficient, and the 8th Company of more than 40 people held back the enemy for two days with a small **, repelled the attack of a reinforced regiment of the 1st US Cavalry Division, and killed more than 800 enemies.
When it comes time to fight back, the results are reaped.
When there was not much left of the blocking position, Xu Xin decided to fight back. When Xu Xin suggested launching a counterattack, the artillery of the whole army concentrated on supporting the 187th Division. All the artillery fire of the 63rd Army hit the US camp in the shortest possible time, and the armored vehicles and tanks became an obstacle for the American soldiers to escape from the artillery fire, and the 187th Division took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and the US troops suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat.
In the end, the main force of the Volunteer Army completed the retreat task and arranged a complete defensive front in the rear. A blocking battle, three divisions and three tactics, blocked the powerful joint ** for 11 days, completed the impossible task, which is both a classic and a legend. The vast number of commanders and fighters of the Chinese People's Volunteers flexibly chose correct and effective tactical tactics and even created new tactics in view of the enemy's weak points.
