The United States is ashamed to mention it, but the volunteers keep it in mind

In 1992, my third uncle went to do business in other places, and my grandfather specially called him to his side and told him a few words: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and the enemy is fine, after all, bad things are on the bright side and easy to prevent; But if you have betrayed your friends, you must never trust them again.

Otherwise, you may have moments of regret. To this day, my third uncle, he is already a person with hundreds of millions of assets, but he still believes in this sentence. It's just that I don't know why, some people who seem to be smart always can't understand this simple truth.

These people obviously include the British, who consider themselves the "aristocracy of the world". In the first dozen days of 2022 and 2023, the British kept looking for trouble with China.

Especially Prime Minister Sunak, who just took office in 2022, his behavior is even more radical.

Soon after taking office, the new British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak made remarks saying that the era of China-UK relations is over, and regards China as a systemic challenge and threat. In terms of practical actions, the British side has also taken targeted measures against China.

However, Chinese netizens questioned why the UK is targeting China, after all, China and the UK are geographically far apart. In fact, the actions of the British were clearly instigated by the United States.

If the United States does not organize other countries to target China, what contradiction does there exist between China and countries like Australia and Lithuania? What really needs to be discussed, however, is whether these countries understand the pee nature of the United States in its treatment of allies.

Perhaps, they have not forgotten how the United States killed the British on the Korean battlefield, but they may not be willing to mention it in front of the British. The Chinese People's Liberation Army has fought against troops from 21 countries, of which the British ** team was the most wronged on the Korean battlefield.

The first time the British fought with the PLA was before the Battle of Crossing the River in 1949, when they sent ** to provoke our army, as a result of which the British ships suffered heavy losses. Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was very angry about this and threatened to send aircraft carriers to retaliate against China.

In this regard, ** replied indifferently: "What are you retaliating against?" ”

The People's Liberation Army newspaper of China issued a statement written by *** himself, demanding that the ** and planes of the United Kingdom, France, the United States and other countries quickly leave the Yangtze and Huangpu rivers in China.

This incident made the British, who fought the People's Liberation Army for the first time, deeply feel the tenacity and perseverance of the Chinese people, you know, in the late Qing Dynasty, they had never seen such toughness.

In this regard, the British were not only surprised, but also had no choice but to give up.

Zeng Zesheng's second group, we are not better than equipment. Although the equipment of the 50th Army under Commander Zeng was not as good as that of the "Royal Heavy Tank Battalion", we had the courage and determination to dare to challenge.

On the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, when our enemy, the British Royal Heavy Tank Battalion, appeared, we were not intimidated by its advanced equipment, but decided to encircle and annihilate it.

At dawn on January 3, 1951, the 149th Division of the Volunteer Army launched an attack with several companies, blocking the retreat of the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion, making it a completely lone army.

Subsequently, Yang Shuyun, the battalion commander of the 149th Regiment of the 446th Division, led his comrades to complete the encirclement of the enemy. Taking advantage of the terrain, they successfully ambushed the enemy.

The whole battle was difficult, but in the end we were victorious. Commander Zeng Zesheng was proud of this, and he said: "I have long said that my troops can still fight!"”

This is the courage and determination of our volunteers, who are not afraid of strong enemies and dare to challenge, and we can achieve victory no matter what equipment we have.

The tanks of the Royal Tank Battalion that were blown up by our army, the interrogation process was ridiculous. The captives were held in a small courtyard of North Korean civilians, and an interesting scene emerged during the interrogation process: Sun Chongshan, a graduate of Nankai University with the most educated and highest education in the division, interrogated him in thick "Chinese-style English", and the captives were asked: "You are the famous Royal Heavy Tank Battalion, right?"”

The British prisoners were naturally not satisfied with this defeat. Their battalion commander shouted: "You used anti-tank guns and damaged our tanks, so I was captured by you." ”

This sentence amused a small officer of our army, and he replied: "We used blasting canisters, explosive packets and grenades. Faced with the hard facts, the other side lamented: "We were betrayed by the US military and became their substitutes." ”

During the interrogation, Britain's second trump card: the Royal Gloucester Battalion also appeared, and their battalion commander was a British lieutenant colonel named Kahn, who came from a military family and was a typical military nobleman.

However, under the interrogation of our army, their attitude was a "save you, impossible!".The indifferent attitude.

The 63rd Army of the Volunteer Army fought fiercely with the Gloucester Battalion of the British Army, which had rich military exploits during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and showed strong combat effectiveness during the period of the North China Field Army.

The army commander Fu Chongbi asked the commander of the 187th Division about the situation of the besieged troops at the front command post, and the division commander replied that he only knew that it was a British soldier, and Fu Chongbi told him that this battalion was famous.

When the news of the siege of the Gloucester battalion was learned,"Joint**"There was a huge panic inside, and the Americans were under pressure, on the one hand, because countries such as the Netherlands and Australia were worried about the performance of the British, and on the other hand, Ridgway was also under pressure from the British side.

Because the British are the most important link in the supporting countries, let the British take the lead"Wronged"It has already caused the dissatisfaction of many British politicians, and if the Royal Gloucester Battalion fails again this time, Ridgway will suffer more infamy.

Ridgway attaches great importance to the rescue operation and orders Thor to take immediate rescue action. Although he may have been perfunctory, he personally summoned Van Vliet and his subordinates on the 24th to listen to the rescue plan.

When he learned that the rescue would not begin until the morning of the 25th, he was very dissatisfied and questioned his subordinates. Saul offered three reasons, but Ridgway believes they were all aimed at delaying action.

Despite this, Ridgway agreed to their plan. However, while the U.S. military was discussing the rescue plan, the volunteers had already launched a fierce attack on the encircled Royal Gloucester Battalion.

Upon learning the news, the U.S. Army immediately informed the trapped battalion commander Kahn to insist on waiting for reinforcements.

Kahn, a soldier of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army on the Korean battlefield, firmly believed that friendly troops would come to rescue him, but in the early morning when the US military originally planned to leave, two US military officers who were ordered to carry out specific rescue missions had a fierce quarrel over the rescue plan, and they quarreled until 8 o'clock, and they could not convince each other.

The assistant couldn't help but say: "The most important thing now is time, is speed, if the two of you continue to quarrel like this, when will you be able to set off!" "The U.S. ** officer finally decided to send a tank platoon to try it first.

The British were naturally very happy when they learned that the Americans had made a move, but when they found out that it was actually an M24 tank, they were completely desperate and shouted at the American troops: "Our Captain 100 tank is useless, what can you do with a tank like you!"

Since you are not sincere in saving people, please go back! The British don't need this shameful play! After hearing this, the American ** officer Harris was ecstatic and asked his subordinates not to send out a single soldier or a vehicle without his order.

According to historical records, Karn's hands trembled with anger when he heard the news, and he sighed to the sky: "The glorious history of the Royal Army's Shuanghui Battalion is over!" But he promised his men that he would stay in position until the last moment.

In the end, Karn really stayed on Heights 235, not standing, but lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, and was finally found and taken prisoner.

On the Korean battlefield, British soldiers were captured, and Ridgway was in an awkward position. In order to show his position, he ordered an investigation into the cause of the fall of the Shuanghui Battalion. However, this kind of investigation no longer makes any sense, because Van Vliet, Saul and others insisted on their own words in the investigation, passed the buck to each other, and made the whole incident a mess.

Seeing this situation, Li Qiwei had an idea and determined the matter: Lieutenant Colonel Kahn lost his cool during the battle, and did not provide an accurate report on the battlefield situation after being surrounded, resulting in a miscalculation by his superiors.

In short, he believed that all the faults were on the British forces themselves, which had been destroyed, and that the US military had no responsibility. This is undoubtedly a wonderful post-war summary. In fact, the British forces on the Korean battlefield were not the first allies the United States to betray, and they would not be the last.

Because once the United States has done such a thing once, there will be no psychological pressure to do it later. We can look back at the United States more than 70 years ago and see if it's still like this.

For example, in the current Russia-Ukraine war, European countries and Ukraine have suffered losses because of this war, but the United States has profited from it. At the cost of a small amount of military aid, it earned both inside and face.

Enemies can become friends after the problem is solved, but the nature of a long-term betrayal of an ally like the United States will never change. I hope Sunak and the British people understand this.
