"The battle lasted 14 minutes, 14 of our squad destroyed 79 of the enemy, captured 19 people, occupied the headquarters of the enemy regiment, killed the enemy regiment commander, and captured the company flag, while our troops only slightly wounded 1 person."
Maybe when many people see this passage, they will subconsciously think that this is from a certain military theme**.
Only the content described in the text is no different from "Shuangwen".
After all, in a real battle, it is almost impossible to complete such a battle of winning more with less, unless there is a huge generation difference in the equipment of the two sides.
Looking at the large and small battles that our army has experienced since its formation, it has always been our army that has always been in a weak position in terms of equipment.
Therefore, some friends who do not know history may think that such a battle does not exist.
However, this is really not a fictional plot, but a beautiful "decapitation operation" of the Volunteer Army on the Korean battlefield - a surprise attack on the White Tiger Regiment.
Back in 1953, after three years of fighting, both China and the United States intended to reach a ceasefire agreement on the Korean battlefield.
After witnessing the bravery of the Chinese and North Korean people's armies, the Americans are now reluctant to continue to get involved in this meaningless war.
Just when the people of North and South Korea were eagerly awaiting the arrival of peace, Syngman Rhee of South Korea forcibly detained the captured personnel of the Korean People's Army under the pretext of "release on the spot".More than 70,000 of them, and said that even if the Americans are unwilling to fight, South Korea will continue to fight.
On June 20, President Peng, who learned the news, suggested that the signing of the armistice agreement be postponed and that the South Korean army be dealt another blow, and the Battle of Geumseong broke out.
Although the "armistice agreement" has not yet been signed, the US-led coalition no longer wants to wade into the troubled waters of the Korean battlefield.
After the Battle of Shangganling in 1952, the U.S. military understood that it was simply impossible to defeat the Volunteer Army militarily.
And in the first two years of fighting, the skyrocketing rise of the US military has made it difficult for US imperialism to explain to the public.
Therefore, at this time, Syngman Rhee still wanted to tie the US imperialist to his chariot, which was obviously a fool's dream.
After the "Battle of Jincheng" began, the US imperialists had no intention of helping South Korea at all, and were unwilling to actually send US troops to the war except to provide first-class ammunition and military advisers in accordance with the military treaty between the two sides.
The Americans also wanted to use the hands of the volunteers to teach this disobedient Syngman Rhee a lesson.
Obviously, Mr. Peng and *** are aware of this relationship.
So he prepared to fight a beautiful battle through the "Battle of Jincheng", so that those Western countries with bad intentions could see the strength of the volunteer army today.
After nearly three years of fighting, the Volunteer Army at this time is no longer the time when it first entered the DPRK.
There have been earth-shaking changes in ** equipment.
From the beginning of the "Battle of Geumseong," the Volunteers have been pressing the South Korean army.
In order to fight the Battle of Jincheng well, the Volunteer Army gathered more than 1,480 artillery pieces, more than 20 tanks, 6 engineer battalions and 11 infantry regiments to repair roads and bridges from the beginning of the campaign, and used more than 2,000 vehicles to transport 150,000 tons of supplies.
On the night of July 13 alone, during the offensive of the 20th Army Corps of the Volunteer Army, the Volunteer Army used 1,100 artillery pieces to pour 1,800 tons of shells on the enemy's position, and the enemy had lost the position before he could react.
In addition to the strengthening of heavy firepower, there have also been noticeable changes in the individual equipment of the volunteers.
The use of a large number of semi-automatic and automatic firearms multiplied the combat effectiveness of the fighters of the Volunteer Army.
At the beginning of the war, the volunteers could beat the US army with their old Shuilianzhu rifles, but now they have replaced them with semi-automatic and automatic firearms, but they encountered the troops of Syngman Rhee, who were "five scum of war", and the results can be imagined.
On the night of the Battle of Jincheng.
Yang Yucai took the 12 soldiers of the reconnaissance squad and went deep behind the enemy line after disguise.
On that day, Yang Yucai disguised himself as an "American adviser," and the rest of the soldiers in the reconnaissance squad changed into South Korean military uniforms and disguised themselves as a group of South Korean soldiers escorting US advisers.
Along the way, the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad marched behind enemy lines in the Korean language they had learned in recent years, deceived the enemy's sentry posts, and went straight to the high ground where the enemy was stationed.
Originally, Yang Yucai and his entourage did not carry out this operation just to find out the deployment of the "White Tiger Regiment" of the South Korea, which was stationed again, but they did not expect that when interspersed, a South Korean soldier actually strayed into their ranks.
After discovering this Southern Dynasty soldier who had strayed in, Yang Yucai immediately ordered his soldiers to capture him, and forced him to ask for the password of the enemy's position that night.
Subsequently, Yang Yucai and others followed this order to pass unimpeded in the enemy's position, and went straight to the periphery of the regimental headquarters of the "White Tiger Regiment" in Erqingdong.
The regimental headquarters of the "White Tiger Regiment" was in the center of the South Korean army's defense line, and the other side never expected that a reconnaissance team of the Volunteer Army would appear here. On several occasions, the enemy had vaguely spotted the traces of the reconnaissance team, but they only fired a few symbolic shots to test it.
This kind of trick is obviously ineffective against Yang Yucai and others, who have been in a hundred battles, and every time they encounter the enemy's fire reconnaissance, Yang Yucai and others can escape with their familiar Korean language.
In this way, Yang Yucai and others generously came all the way to the "415 Heights" where the "White Tiger Regiment" was stationed.
On the periphery of the "415 Heights", there is an area fenced by barbed wire, through which Yang Yucai and others saw two rows of neat wooden houses. Outside the house were large trucks and jeeps, and some Southern Korean soldiers were carrying military supplies for loading.
Looking at this, the White Tiger Regiment seemed to be preparing to retreat.
After consulting with the soldiers of the squad, Yang Yucai decided to infiltrate the enemy's regimental headquarters and bite the enemy, so as not to let the troops run away before the general attack.
So Yang Yucai and the soldiers of the squad cut the barbed wire fence and crawled to the outside of these two rows of neat wooden houses. Through the doors and windows of the wooden house, Yang Yucai and the others found that it was full of senior officers of the "White Tiger Regiment", and it seemed that they were having a meeting.
Judging from their collar badges, it should be that the commander of the White Tiger Regiment and the cadres above the battalion level are in a meeting.
So Yang Yucai immediately signaled to the soldiers who were traveling with him, broke into the conference room of the other party's regiment headquarters together, and then immediately attacked. Caught off guard, the South Korean officers and soldiers fell in rows under the guns of Yang Yucai and others, and one regiment commander was killed on the spot.
After killing the enemy regimental commander, Yang Yucai and the others stopped shooting and shouted in Korean to the remaining South Korean officers and soldiers who were lying on the ground and already trembling with fear"Hands up, shoot or kill! ”
Afterwards, these South Korean officers and soldiers raised their guns over their heads in a neat manner and consciously lined up to be taken prisoner by Yang Yucai and others.
After a simple interrogation, it turned out that this was not the White Tiger Regiment, but the station of the Mecha Regiment, and the White Tiger Regiment's station was in Erqingdong, not far from here.
So Yang Yucai and others took advantage of the enemy's panic to rush across the highway and go straight to the station of the "White Tiger Regiment" in Erqingdong.
After arriving at Erqing Cave, Yang Yucai had his soldiers divide into three groups and rush to the enemy's guardhouse and conference room respectively.
The soldiers of the reconnaissance squad who acted separately were like gods descending from the heavens, and they were devastating everywhere they passed.
Those soldiers of the Southern Dynasties, who had already been frightened, were no match at all.
The battle was over in a short time, and it took about ten minutes before and after.
Seeing that the enemy could not defeat the volunteers, they could only scatter and flee.
Due to the limited number of our troops, it was not convenient to pursue, so we could only let the enemy flee in the end.
At the end of the battle, Yang Yucai and others made statistics when they cleaned up the battlefield, and in this battle, a total of 97 people below the commander of the enemy's mecha regiment were killed and wounded, 19 people including the chief of the enemy's military section and the deputy commander of the howitzer battalion were captured, and one person from our unit was slightly injured.
Despite the fact that the deputy division commander of the enemy army,"White Tiger Regiment"The regiment commander and others ran away, but the result of this battle can be regarded as a military miracle.
After the battle, Yang Yucai and others returned to the army.
After learning the battle report of this battle, Zhiji immediately gave Yang Yucai and others a "special merit" award, and widely publicized the battle story of the "surprise attack on the White Tiger Regiment".
Of course, the enemy's side also learned the whole story of this battle from this extensive propaganda, and for a time the entire South Korean army could not raise its head and became a laughing stock in the joint **.
After the end of the Korean War, Yang Yucai was awarded the title of "Combat Hero of the First Class" in 1954, and the DPRK also awarded Yang Yucai the title of "Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" and the Gold Star Medal and the Order of the National Flag of the First Class.
In 1957, Li Shibin, Fang Rongxiang, Li Guihua and others of the Peking Opera Troupe of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army told the story of Yang Yucai's reconnaissance team, and invited playwright Sun Qiuchao to write the modern war Peking Opera "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment".
During the "Cultural Revolution", "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment" was also positioned as one of the eight revolutionary model plays, and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" and "Shajiabang" and other plays became the pinnacle of China's literary and artistic circles at that time, influencing a whole generation.
In 1964, when I was in the drama "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment", I was interested and asked about the prototype of the character who commanded the battle back then.
** When he was young, he was a military strategist and was good at guerrilla warfare, sports warfare.
After seeing the role of Yan Weicai, I suddenly became interested and wanted to understand the current situation of the prototype character.
As a result, the staff and others on the side couldn't answer any of them after listening to ***'s questions.
So *** said:"When you go back, check and don't bury the hero. ”
The result of this investigation was really unexpected. The original hero Yang Yucai has always been a company commander many years after returning to China.
It's a pity that such a combat hero is buried like this.
After that, under the care of the party and state leaders, Yang Yucai successively served as company commander, battalion commander, deputy regiment commander, division deputy chief of staff, and deputy division commander of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and served as a deputy to the Fourth and Fifth National People's Congress until his death in Beijing on May 26, 1999.
