On June 25, 1950, the Korean Peninsula was full of war, and the joint ** and the North Korean army fought in various parts of the peninsula. The situation on the Korean Peninsula is tense. Considering the crisis of death and coldness, China sent the Chinese People's Volunteers across the Yalu River on October 9, 1950, starting a new chapter in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
The results of this victory in this war have allowed China to say goodbye to the title of "the sick man of East Asia" and show its image as a powerful country in the international community.
On the Korean battlefield in 1950, our army was extremely inferior in equipment against the United States and its servant units, which were armed to the teeth, and the degree of difficulty in the battle was unimaginable.
So, how exactly did we defeat the powerful American enemy, and what made the United States so worried about the entry of the 16th Army into Korea? Resist US aggression and aid Korea, protect the family and defend the country.
After announcing its participation in the Korean War, the United States used extremely ingenious landing tactics and used Inchon as a springboard to completely block the rear route of the Korean People's Army.
After the back road was completely blocked, the Korean People's Army was defeated and retreated all the way, and the flames of the war in the United States even burned to the Yalu River and the Chinese border for a time. At this time, the lives and safety of border residents were greatly threatened, and many innocent people died under the bombing of American aircraft.
The United States ignored China's warnings, crossed the 38th parallel, and killed the Chinese, which made the sons and daughters of China feel extremely resentful.
Although there is a huge gap between China and the United States in science and technology, we still firmly believe that it is necessary to resist US aggression and aid Korea. He knew very well that Japan could not be allowed to use Korea as a springboard to invade Northeast China again.
Although we do not have the cover of aircraft artillery, we firmly believe that the situation on the battlefield is created by people, not **. Therefore, he appointed Marshal *** as commander and led the Chinese People's Volunteer Army across the Yalu River to participate in the Korean War.
In the first section of the Korean War.
First, in the second stage, we were envious of the gap between the equipment of the squadron and the American soldiers. Our equipment at that time was mainly composed of the ** left over from Japan's surrender during World War II, as well as the American weapons and equipment captured during the Liberation War.
On the Korean battlefield, the soldiers of the Volunteer Army faced the severe challenge that the logistics industry could not keep up with and was backward. However, even if the equipment is outdated, they are still in the first place with their tenacious fighting spirit and heroic sacrifice.
In the first and second battles, the American front was successfully broken through.
However, every victory in the battle was won at the cost of the precious lives of countless volunteer soldiers. Deeply feeling the hardships of the front-line fighters, *** repeatedly sought assistance from the Soviet Union to ensure the best interests of China.
However, ***, who was extremely sensitive to the issue of sovereignty, was categorically opposed to this proposal of the USSR. As a result, the Soviet aid program went bankrupt, and the prospects for the Korean War became uncertain.
For China, Soviet assistance was not active, and volunteer soldiers fought the Korean battlefield.
Prior to the outbreak of the Korean War, our country did not have any air forces to protect logistics and internal security. But with the aid of the Soviet Union, this pressure was relieved.
So what exactly did the USSR provide to our country? First of all, our country is deeply aware that its own military equipment cannot be compared with the US military, so the Soviet Union has provided our country with a large number of Soviet-style equipment.
This equipment became the basis of many of our troops, some of which appeared during this period.
The data showed that the subordinate companies of the 16th Army, equipped with all-Soviet weapons, defeated three companies of the United States, the Netherlands and South Korea in just two hours. This highlighted the high degree of threat posed by the Soviet armed forces to the US military at that time, and the volunteers equipped with Soviet armed forces were invincible on the Korean battlefield.
In addition to supplying ***, the USSR also supplied our country with a large number of tanks and cars. We had to rely on trucks to transport supplies, but because the U.S. Air Force often spread artillery fire to our army's logistical supply lines, these truckers had to deliver supplies under a hail of enemy bullets.
It's hard and dangerous work.
In the war, the survival rate of truckers was extremely low, and less than 30% of the supplies delivered to the volunteer army showed that the consumption of trucks was huge for our country. Fortunately, the Soviet Union came to the aid of thousands of trucks, which was undoubtedly crucial for the logistics of our army.
At the same time, the USSR also helped our country to create its first air force.
Soviet assistance increased the combat effectiveness of our army, but it also aroused the vigilance of the United States. When the 16th Army entered the Korean battlefield with all its Soviet armaments, the United States reacted strongly to this and repeatedly accused China of attempting to expand the scale of the war.
Why, then, is the 16th Army so powerful that the United States is so afraid? The 16th Soviet Army won the first battle with a thunderous momentum, and it took only two hours to wipe out the combined forces of the United States, the Netherlands, and the DPRK, and the firepower was unprecedented since the Korean War.
This is due to the strong firepower output capability of the Soviet armament.
In contrast, the U.S. ** team has strong air support and armor advantages, and can put up fierce resistance with our troops in extremely unfavorable terrain. In positional warfare, their frenzied fire led to the disintegration of the companies of our front-line positions after several rounds of bombardment.
In the Han River Blockade Battle, the 30,000 officers and men of the 50th Army, in order to reduce the enemy's firepower, even had to adopt the strategy of light personnel in front and heavy in the rear, and heavy firepower in front and light in the rear.
Although this greatly reduced the concentrated firepower of the American army, it also made the volunteers pay a huge sacrifice. However, even in the face of such a difficult predicament, our army persisted in the fight and showed unparalleled courage and perseverance.
The superiority of the United States on the Korean battlefield faded away. Although the American ** team had a weak will to fight, they were finally forced to admit defeat under the increasingly fierce resistance of our army.
However, in order to maintain its own face, the United States still believes that our military wants to expand the war. In this regard, our country has always adhered to the proposition that the end of the war is decided by the United States.
Now that the United States is in a difficult situation, it would be a good thing for our country if peace talks can be reached with China. This means that the United States has been completely convinced by the strength of our military and realizes that it will be detrimental to the United States to continue confrontation with our army on the Korean battlefield.
Although the 16th Army failed to fully exert its strength on the Korean battlefield, they exerted tremendous pressure on the United States with Soviet equipment in their hands, forcing the United States to return to the negotiating table and start negotiations with China and North Korea.
After continuous consultations, the United States finally stopped being arrogant and arrogant, no longer put forward arrogant and unfair agreements, and reached a ceasefire agreement with China and North Korea, and the two sides ceaseed fire on the 38th parallel.
And Marshal ***, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Volunteer Army, proudly declared after signing the armistice agreement on July 27, 1953: "Now is the time for the Chinese to speak!" ”
The victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was inseparable from the assistance of the Soviet Union, and China's air force and armored forces were many"For the first time"All done together with the USSR. However, as *** said, the key to winning or losing a war is people.
Our military has forged a steel line of defense with their flesh and blood, and has successfully prevented the possible threat of US hegemony to our borders. This battle greatly enhanced the prestige of our army and the reputation of the country, and made the whole world look at China with admiration and no longer dare to underestimate and despise it.
