On June 25, 1950, the Korean War broke out, and at first, the South Korean troops encountered many difficulties. However, after the landing of the US coalition forces at Incheon, the situation in North Korea was immediately reversed, and the fighting even spread to the Yalu River.
At this time, the ambitions of US imperialism were fully exposed, and the security of the newly established New China was facing a serious threat. Faced with this situation, China resolutely decided to send troops to North Korea, personally took command, and led the army to start this war to defend the motherland.
South Korea's 1st Army General Baek Sun-yeol accidentally captured a prisoner of war as he marched to the Yalu River. This prisoner of war is a Chinese ** person, and under the severe torture of the South Korean troops, our soldiers have always been loyal and unyielding.
However, the U.S. military used chemical drugs to extract confessions and sent spies to investigate. The result of this investigation frightened the proud Baek Sun-yeol, so he fled overnight, and was known as the escaped general in the subsequent Korean War.
So, who exactly made this South Korean 1st Army general so timid? Let's look back at a piece of history, a history of the puppet state of Manchukuo.
The Zhenyong Society, a Chinese ** organization, was founded on September 18, 1931, and that day shocked China and foreign countries in 918 Incident, the Japanese army's claws stretched out to our northeast, supporting Pu Yi to become the puppet emperor of the puppet Manchurian Empire, the Japanese wolf's ambition was undoubtedly exposed, and the lives of the common people in the northeast have since fallen into the rule of darkness.
Wang Jiashan, a patriotic young man, returned to China after graduating from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School and served in the Northeast Army, but because the chief wanted to give up resistance and surrender to the Japanese, Wang Jiashan angrily refused and left the army and returned to his hometown Bayan County, Heilongjiang.
In May 1932, Wang Jiashan led 60 volunteers to carry guns and form the first anti-Japanese guerrilla force in puppet Manchuria, the Bayan Guerrillas, and began to fight for national rejuvenation.
However, after being surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese for a long time, Wang Jiashan's determination was shaken. A letter of surrender from Wang Jiashan's classmate Zhang Wentao sent him out of the revolutionary ranks.
When Wang Jiashan saw Zhang Wentao, he found that Zhang Wentao was a real traitor, so Wang Jiashan immediately decided to cut off his robe with Zhang Wentao. Due to the betrayal of the revolutionary team, it was impossible to go back, so Wang Jiashan went east to Japan, was admitted to the Tokyo Army University, and embarked on the road of saving the country.
Although Wang Jiashan's road was tortuous, he never forgot his original intention and worked hard for national rejuvenation.
Wang Jiashan: A national hero who went deep into the enemy's interior In 1935, on the eve of Wang Jiashan's graduation, he returned to China for vacation and met Xiong Bin, the then deputy minister of national defense.
Xiong Bin persuaded him: "The Northeast needs talents like you, Mr. Wang should go back to the Northeast, engage in an underground anti-Japanese organization, and prepare to cooperate with ** in the future." As a result, a Chinese ** who penetrated deep into the enemy's interior was born.
After graduating, Wang Jiashan returned to the Northeast and was awarded the title of Chief of Staff of the puppet Manchurian Empire. He slowly developed a resistance team among his colleagues and classmates, the True Courage Society. This is a team that goes deep into the enemy's interior.
They carried out activities in puppet Manchuria, mainly to sabotage enemy construction and steal military intelligence. After the devil noticed the existence of the True Courage Society, he canceled Wang Jiashan's military power and strictly investigated the existence of the True Courage Society.
Despite this, Wang Jiashan has always adhered to the national integrity and has not tended to the devil. This was extremely rare in the puppet Manchuria at that time. Therefore, he and his comrades-in-arms became the key suspects of the devils.
After a period of time, the devils did not find evidence of Wang Jiashan, and the Zhenyong Society began to pretend to curry favor with the Japanese, and Wang Jiashan returned to military power. His subordinate Bai Shanye has also been fighting alongside him.
Wang Jiashan's story tells us that national heroes are not only people who perform well in war, but also people who adhere to national integrity and pay silently in the face of difficulties.
Wang Jiashan, in 1942, served as a major general and staff officer, stationed in Jiamusi, on the Sino-Soviet border. He planned to cooperate with the Soviet Union to send troops, and on the eve of the Soviet army, he killed the devil commander, disarmed the border arm, and instructed the artillery battalion to open fire, successfully assisting the Soviet army into the northeast.
However, the Soviets considered him a war criminal and imprisoned him in Jiamusi. Wang Jiashan later fled to the Kuomintang and returned to Korea after the surrender of the Japanese army, where he lived in seclusion in Changchun. Soon after, he traveled to Beiping to find Du Yuming, and was appointed commander of the miscellaneous army.
However, due to the low status of the miscellaneous army and the background of the puppet army, the regular army is very discriminatory against them. They once became the orderly soldiers of the regular army in the northeast, and they couldn't even get the best equipment, food and grass.
This sparked a spread of discontent. In June 1947, the Northeast People's ** Army repelled Du Yuming's New Sixth Army to Yingkou. At this time, Du Yuming tried to use Wang Jiashan's miscellaneous army as cannon fodder to let him defend the camp, but did not provide ** equipment.
The subordinate troops are well-equipped and fully equipped with mechanized armament, while the equipment of the miscellaneous army is still left over from the Japanese army.
We are all Chinese, why should the Chinese fight the Chinese? Isn't this cannibalism? This behavior made him very indignant and began to question the political line of the Kuomintang.
At this difficult time, his mind began to waver, and the hopes that had been pinned on the people were gradually shattered. He began to search for answers and read several books of communists, including "On Protracted War", "The Present Situation and Tasks" and "On Alliance", which made a deep impression on him and changed his view of the Communist Party.
He gradually realized that the Communist Party is a party for the people and a political party that can truly save the people from fire and water and help the building to collapse. In the spring of 1948, with the continuous victory of the Liberation War, the Kuomintang opposition was defeated one after another.
At this time, Wang Jiashan's old comrade-in-arms of the Bayan guerrillas, Shi To, sent a letter of persuasion, persuading him to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
1.Wang Jiashan launched an uprising in Yingkou, and after the uprising of his 58th Division, he was incorporated into the Fourth Field Army.
Subsequently, Wang Jiashan and the 58th Division participated in the Liberation War and the task of suppressing bandits in Yunnan. 2.After Baek Sun-yeol returned to North Korea, he fled to Seoul in 1945 and joined the South Korean Guard, and later rose to the rank of colonel and commander of the 1st Division of the South Korean Army.
When the Korean Civil War broke out in 1950, he fought against the Korean People's Army as a member of the Korean ** camp. In the early days, the Korean People's Army fought bravely and skillfully and reached the 38th parallel.
At this time, the U.S. military was reluctant to abandon Korea, and if Korea was occupied, the interior of the Soviet Union would have no land in which the U.S. military could intervene. Therefore, the United States held a referendum at the United Nations and decided to send troops to quell the civil war.
Since the Soviet Union had just experienced World War II and urgently needed to restore domestic productivity, it abstained from voting at the United Nations. After landing at Incheon, the U.S. military quickly pushed back to the 38th parallel, and the flames of war burned to the Yalu River.
After discussion, China decided to send troops to Korea to start a war to defend the country.
As a unit under the command of Wang Jiashan, the 58th Division has lived in Manchuria for a long time, is familiar with the topography of North Korea, and belongs to the Fourth Field Army. Siye is the main force of the Volunteer Army, led by ***, and marched into North Korea.
Before the Volunteer Army officially entered Korea, the 58th Division had entered Korea as a vanguard force, on the one hand, to probe the enemy's situation and prepare for future operations; On the other hand, as a guarantee for the volunteers to cross the Yalu River, it is responsible for protecting its safety.
Bai Shanye, Wang Jiashan's old subordinate, met the 58th Division led by Wang Jiashan on the bank of the Yalu River. He never imagined that his old superiors would participate in the Korean War.
Moreover, at that time, Siye was famous on the domestic battlefield, and it was an army that was as powerful as a bamboo on the liberation battlefield, gathering all the excellent ** equipment of the Chinese People's Liberation Army ace troops in China.
This made Bai Shanye frightened, and he originally marched to the Yalu River with high momentum, but at this moment he retreated decisively.
In the first battle of the Volunteer Army, Bai Shanye was trapped in Yunshan by his old boss. Although he called for the 8th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Army to come to support, after he broke through, the 8th Regiment of the US Army was unfortunately wiped out by the fishing plan of the volunteers.
In the second battle, Bai Shanye faced the fierce offensive of our army, and was so frightened that he fled quickly, and even helped the Volunteer Army disrupt the strategic deployment of the US army. After the Battle of Changjin Lake, an interesting thing happened: due to the victory of our army, the flour for logistics transportation was obtained, and the soldiers steamed steamed buns to eat.
A veteran handed over a piece of cloth, saying that he had captured it on the battlefield and that now everyone uses it as a cage cloth for steamed buns. Just as everyone was happily preparing to steam steamed buns with this colorful cloth, the chief of staff on the side found that this cloth was a little special, a bit like a flag.
He sent this cloth to the command post to report to his superiors. After inspection, the superiors were shocked to find that this cloth turned out to be the flag of the Polar Bear Corps, the ace army of the United States.
Bai Shanye played the role of being defeated and defeated in several battles, while his former colleague Wang Jiashan and his army became more and more courageous, becoming a strong backing for other troops, swearing to defend the territory of the motherland to the death.
In the Battle of Shangganling, Wang Jiashan's army lost almost half of its strength. These troops who served in the puppet state of Manchukuo, through heroic battles, washed away the shame of being a puppet army in the past, and became excellent fighters to defend the country.
It is precisely the bloody struggle of these volunteer soldiers that has created the security of New China and enabled us to sweep away the shame of repeated defeats in foreign wars over the past century and truly stand up.
