The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is in full swing. As the battle for the founding of New China, the enthusiasm of the Chinese volunteers was unprecedentedly high, and when the armament and overall combat effectiveness were slightly inferior to the other side, they won three battles in a row, and drove the United Army back to the south of the 38th parallel, which seriously dealt a blow to the arrogance of the American soldiers. Just when the Chinese people were jubilant, only Mr. Peng was worried.
Mr. Peng, who was worried about the Korean battlefield.
The fourth battle broke out, only 17 days after the end of the last battle, and the army did not have time to rest and fight urgently. However, at this critical moment, Mr. Peng, who was the commander and political commissar of the Volunteer Army, handed over the command to Deng Hua and Han Xianchu, and returned to China overnight and broke into the chairman's bedroom, and then at the conference, he was angry with *** and the heads of departments.
What happened to the emergency return to Beijing this time, and what happened on the battlefield in North Korea Let him go straight to the chairman's bedroom regardless of the obstacles? And what made him angry at *** and others at the conference?
On the first National Day after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the whole country celebrated with singing and dancing. But behind the laughter, ** and *** and others frowned. Fighting in neighboring countries continues to spread all the way to the Chinese border. As the saying goes, "auxiliary vehicles depend on each other, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold", the US-led coalition ** has gained advantage on the Korean battlefield, and it will naturally look to China.
** Warning to the United States.
Just the day before, ** issued a speech warning the United States to stop its aggression, but today it received a provocation from the joint ** Commander-in-Chief MacArthur:"Historically, the Yalu River has not been an insurmountable obstacle that divides China and North Korea. ”Not only did he make an arrogant declaration, but he also sent planes to invade China's airspace many times, constantly touching China's bottom line.
At that time, the first anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China had just begun, and there was no time to take care of it, so when faced with the plea for help from the new leader of the DPRK, Kim Il Sung, most people suggested that they ignore it and only sternly warn the United States not to invade China. But *** is against public opinion, thinking that this battle must be foughtFirst of all, China and the DPRK belong to the same socialist camp, and China has just experienced the pain of being invaded, and it can best understand what kind of dire situation the Korean people are in.
Second, everyone should understand that China's willingness to help is also guarding China's borders to a certain extent. Last but not least, this campaign is the most important opportunity for New China to gain a firm foothold in the international community. The reason why the United States is so arrogant is that it believes that China will not participate in this war, and if China really ignores it as the United States thinks, it will confirm the conjecture of the United States: what about re-establishing political power, after all, it will be as corrupt and weak as the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, as a battle for the founding of the country, this battle must not only be fought but also won!
The Chinese People's Volunteer Army was formally formed.
So *** made it at the request of North Korea"Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Defend the Home and Defend the Country".The important decision was to quickly form the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, led by Mr. Peng to enter the Korean War.
The People's Volunteers injected fresh blood into the Korean battlefield, and as soon as they entered the battlefield, they repelled the joint ** again and again. The first phase of the campaign expelled it from the Yalu River to the south of the Cheongchon River, crushing the United **'s attempt to fully occupy Korea before Thanksgiving。The Volunteers worked hard and cooperated with the Korean People's Army to lure the enemy deep into the net and fight it all in one goIn the second battle, the situation on the Korean battlefield was completely reversed, and the situation changed from the defensive side to the offensive side.
The United States, which lost two games in a row in a short period of time and lost its favorable situation, was shocked by the combat effectiveness of the Chinese People's Volunteers, and vainly wanted to delay time to regroup and propose "a cease-fire first, then negotiations," but it was unwilling to make effective concessions. Mr. Peng is well aware that "he is exhausted and I am profitable" is a good time to fight, and no longer waiting for the United States to delay time, he concentrated the six armies of the Volunteer Army and cooperated with the People's Army to launch a full-front attack on the fortified joint ** of the 38th parallel. Successfully repelled it to the area around 37° north latitude.
Mr. Peng observed the situation on the battlefield and found that it was wrong.
But just when the soldiers thought that they were going to stand to the end and fully repel the joint **, Mr. Peng ordered to stop the pursuit. Mr. Peng ordered the suspension of the army not to let the United States survive, but to discover the potential crisis of the volunteers.
The Volunteers fought in Korea for three months and won many battles and advanced all the way to the south, but new problems were constantly revealed.
1. The continuous battle time is too long, and our side has consumed a huge amount and urgently needs to rest.
The Volunteer Army was first engaged in combat until the end of the third campaignFighting day and night had little respiteMany soldiers have just finished the last battle, and they immediately came to a new mission, and many consecutive battles made the soldiers' bodies a little unbearable.
In additionThe number of people has plummetedIt is also a very serious problem, although each stage of the battle was won, but paid a heavy price, such as the Battle of Changjin Lake in the second battle, the enemy faced by the volunteers was the world-class equipment, the 10th Army of the United States Army, which had made great achievements.
Volunteers in the Battle of Changjin Lake.
The disparity in equipment and combat effectiveness between the two sides was too great, but the volunteers, with their extraordinary willpower, forced the US ace unit to experience the "farthest retreat" in history, creating the only glorious record of annihilating a regiment of the US army in a structured manner in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. But we have also heard what the price of the volunteers in this battle, the battle**190,000 people, the most distressing thing is that the frostbite is as high as 430,000 people.
2. The front is too long and has no air supremacy, and all kinds of logistics materials cannot keep up.
Due to the weakness of our air force, most of the materials used by the soldiers are transported from the country by carFirst, it takes a long timeSecond, it is often intercepted by local air forcesThe logistics units lose contact with the front-line troops at every turn, which is very unfavorable to our army's operations. From the front, it was said that the Battle of Changjin Lake froze to death and frostbite 4This can be seen in the case of 30,000 people.
In December, North Korea was full of snow, and the ice on the surface of Changjin Lake could carry hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so you can imagine how bad the weather conditions were, but due to the shortage of materials, not to mention the cotton clothes to keep out the cold, some soldiers could not even wear a good single coat, let alone protect themselves from the cold. In this way, countless soldiers lost their precious lives on the march, and the "ice sculptures" on the ice of Changjin Lake are the most cruel proof of war.
Ice Sculpture Company: A hero who sacrificed his life for the country.
Not only is there a lack of clothing, but the lack of food and medicine is also a fatal problem, and the wounded who can be treated lose their lives while waiting, and they have not eaten for dozens of days and have to fight on the battlefield with all their might, but finally they have no choice but to leave in the midst of hunger and cold.
3. Logistics problems were exposed, and the coalition forces implemented a "scorched earth" policy
Some people may ask, how could the situation of the previous war in China be so severe, and how could so many problems be exposed in a different place? That's because during the Anti-Japanese War, our army could rely on the local people to barely survive at home, but the Korean people were too busy to take care of themselves, because the coalition forces implemented a "scorched earth policy".
After the first three battles, the United States finally discovered that MacArthur, the former commander of the coalition forces, was a straw bag, and replaced Ridgway, the object of the most headache for the volunteers, as the commander. This Li Qiwei found that our army could last for a week at most in each battleThe reason for this is that the volunteer army does not have air supremacy, and logistics support cannot keep up.
Li Qiwei served as the joint commander.
So he ordered all the coalition troops to go to the battlefield without excess dry food, and all the supplies must be burned when the battle is defeated, even the Korean people's homes along the road have not been spared, the houses where the coalition troops go have been destroyed, the food has turned to ashes, and the innocent people have also suffered from displacement inexplicably, not to mention helping the volunteers, it is fortunate that they were not starved to death. Sometimes the volunteers starved for several days or even longer, but when they stood on the top of the mountain, they saw that the supply depot of the coalition army had been burned down, and the mountains of cotton clothes and countless food were burned out in the raging fire.
On the other hand, Li Qiwei also implemented the "magnetic tactic" of pretending to flee first, dragging the volunteers until they were exhausted, and then fighting back, which caused the volunteers to suffer a lot of dumb losses. Mr. Peng looked at the soldiers with yellow muscles and torn clothes in pain, he thought that the volunteer army would be wiped out sooner or later, and the problem of logistics support must be solved as soon as possible, so he sent a telegram to *** shortly after the start of the fourth campaign, requesting to return to China for an interview, and after getting approval, Mr. Peng handed over the command to Deng Hua and Han Xianchu, and hurriedly returned to China.
Admiral Deng Hua. Mr. Peng only took a few guards and took a Phuket car to shuttle through the battlefield full of artillery to Andong Airport on the border between China and North Korea. Mr. Peng took a direct flight to Beijing at Andong Airport, when the plane landed in Shenyang to refuel, the local military leaders were afraid that Mr. Peng was tired from running around, so he invited him to the lounge to eat and rest, but Mr. Peng shook his hand impatiently and said:"Don't go, you don't have to worry about me, I'll leave as soon as I finish refueling! ”After that, he stood in the cold wind and waited. The local leaders knew that Peng Lao always came back from the battlefield, and there should be something important to report, so they immediately silenced and didn't dare to bother again.
When the plane arrived in Beijing, it was noon, Mr. Peng didn't even care about eating and drinking, and took the long-awaited special car to Zhongnanhai, but the day always did not fulfill people's wishes, the more anxious the easier it was to make mistakes, and the staff forgot to explain that he did not live in Zhongnanhai recently. Mr. Peng traveled all the way, arrived in Zhongnanhai but could not find the chairman, and after inquiry, he hurriedly drove to Jingmingyuan, where the chairman currently lives.
** With Mr. Peng.
When I arrived at the place, it was past lunch time, and ** had just eaten lunch and took a nap. You must know that as soon as *** came out of Zhongnanhai, it meant that the body needed rest and sufficient sleep during that time, not to mention that the sleep quality of *** was so poor that most of the time it needed medication assistance to fall asleep, so the guards and secretaries saw Mr. Peng rushing in hurriedly to stop him.
Mr. Peng's personality was already impatient, and he was already anxious when he was delayed once on the road, but now he was stopped by the two of them, and his temper immediately came up, how could hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield afford to wait. Mr. Peng immediately said angrily"Get out of the way, I'm in a hurry"., but the guards also have their own difficulties. So they are still in front of Mr. Peng.
Mr. Peng thought that since he was not allowed to go in, he would shout at the door, and Mr. Peng's loud voice kept sounding at the door"O Chairman, Chairman! Wake up, my old Peng has something important to discuss! ”Sure enough, it didn't take long for *** to walk out of the bedroom with his clothes on.
Seeing that it was Mr. Peng, the chairman knew that something must have happened on the battlefield to make Mr. Peng hurry back to China, but as a friend and partner for many years, he must have come to him without eating, and first asked someone to prepare a meal before sitting down and talking to Mr. Peng.
Mr. Peng hurriedly reported the situation on the battlefield to ***, and when it came to the emotional point, the two clasped hands and burst into tears, either remembering the previous battlefield and fighting together, or thinking of the young soldiers like children fighting desperately on the front line, and they will always feel unbearable after becoming parents. After being silent for a long time, ** held Mr. Peng's hands tightly and said word by word:"Logistics is a big deal, and it must be solved. ”
Volunteer Army Logistics Line.
After that, the two focused on discussing the huge attrition of troops. Mr. Peng first reported to *** the results of his and Kim Il Sung's discussions, judging from the results of the first three battles, the coalition forces were losing one after another but never admitting defeat, and even proposed negotiations to delay the war to gain time, which was quite a bit of a sense of not giving up until the goal was achieved, and the two of them agreed that the Korean campaign should be "made long-term preparations", and the enemy would not give up if most of the enemy was not destroyed.
**After listening, he expressed his opinion in affirmation, and clearly instructed:"If you can win quickly, you will win quickly, and if you can't win quickly, you will win slowly. ”Hearing this, Mr. Peng finally put his heart at ease, and the quick solution plan formulated by *** before this really put him under a lot of pressure. Although the first three battles were won hard, as far as the current situation is concerned, it must be a tough battle ahead.
After that, instructions were also given for the next step of the battle plan, and the chairman said to Mr. Peng that since we want to fight a protracted war, we must change the previous combat policy. Creatively propose two adjustment guidelines:
1. Implement rotational operations
After passing the rotational operation, it is to "fight in shifts" with the domestic People's Liberation Army, and the rotation of troops can relieve the combat pressure of the army to the greatest extent and allow the soldiers to get full rest. In fact, this strategy has been thought of a long time ago, since the beginning of the Volunteer Army's entry into North Korea, the 19th Corps and other troops have been stationed on Longhai and other railway lines on standby, and now they are officially appointed as the first.
The second and third echelons are ready to enter the DPRK and participate in the war at any time.
Writing here, I admire the military insight from the bottom of my heart, so that the volunteers who are far away in the Korean battlefield immediately have backup, you must know that the battlefield is changing rapidly, if it is not for the best precautions and military foresight, the future of the volunteers is unknown.
2. Implement the strategy of "zero knock kraft candy".
In addition, tactical adjustments have been made to the situation on the Korean battlefield, as mentioned earlier, it is possible to win only if most of the enemy is annihilated, so the later battles must be as likely to annihilate the enemy's living forces. Based on such an operational goal, ** put forward the operational policy of "knocking kraft candy piecemeal", that is, annihilating the enemy in the whole regiment many times, and then breaking them one by one.
Battle scenes under the new tactics.
Combined with the previous battles, the Volunteer Army can annihilate the Korean ** team as a whole in actual combat, but it is difficult to achieve the annihilation of the entire regiment for the US ** team, so it is necessary to adjust the combat plan according to different enemies. If the British and American regiments also practice small encirclement tactics, each time they choose a battalion as the target to encircle and annihilate, that is, they will fight a small annihilation war.
This tactic of annihilation one by one can effectively annihilate the enemy's living forces while also undermining the enemy's morale. ** It also set an order not to organize a war of annihilation against the enemy forces for three to six months, and after three months, to destroy the coalition forces on a large scale in one fell swoop.
** These two operational guidelines, creatively put forward according to the battlefield situation, effectively enhanced the combat capability of the Volunteers and reversed the unfavorable position of the Volunteers in the Fourth Campaign. **Although the person is not on the battlefield in North Korea, he can accurately find the pain points of the volunteer army from the battlefield situation reported by Mr. Peng and clarify the next battle plan.
The logistical supply lines of the Volunteer Army were frequently destroyed.
After talking about the problems in the operation of the troops, the most important logistical problem has not been solved, ** patted Mr. Peng and said with relief:"Don't worry, the prime minister will take care of the logistics".。After that, *** urgently convened *** and ** a group of leaders held an emergency meeting, Mr. Peng briefly introduced to everyone the embarrassment faced by the volunteers on the Korean battlefield, and many of the people present moistened their eyes, ** immediately saidNo matter how difficult it is, it is necessary to find a way to solve the problem of the needs of front-line fighters
** Difficulty, mainly because the development of New China itself at that time was a bit stretched, some departments do have a lot of difficulties in the development of their own, and now to increase support means that funds are needed, it is not an exaggeration to squeeze out between the teeth.
Mr. Peng was so angry that his eyes were red when he saw that some of the people in charge here were making excuses, and he didn't care about what heavyweights were involved in the caseThis is also difficult, that is also difficult, I think you are patriotic, is it possible that the volunteer soldiers are all pigs, they don't know patriotism. You go to the front line to see what the soldiers eat and wear, and now the hardships of the front-line troops are even more than during the Long March, ** so many soldiers, who did they sacrifice and shed blood for? They have neither aircraft, nor anti-aircraft artillery, but also very little, the conditions for supply and transportation in the rear are not guaranteed at all, ** ammunition, food and clothing are often blown up by enemy planes on the way, and the soldiers are not only dead on the battlefield, but also starving to death and freezing to death, they are all young dolls, can't they overcome difficulties at home?
Mr. Peng, who is not smiling.
Everyone knew that Mr. Peng had a temper, but they didn't expect him to be so angry, and he realized the seriousness of the problem when he yelled at him, and no one dared to speak again for a while. At this time, an urgent war report broke the silence in the conference room, and the Korean battlefield was tense, and Mr. Peng had to go back, and before leaving, he went to the airport to see him off. This sentence was like a reassuring pill, which temporarily calmed down Mr. Peng, who was leaving.
**Doing what he said, Mr. Peng presided over a national cadre meeting after leaving, and asked all participants to make every effort to ensure the logistics of the Volunteer Army at all costs**. With the concerted efforts of cadres across the country, all walks of life have quickened the pace of production, and boxes of ammunition, cotton clothes, and canned food have been sent to the Korean battlefield. As soon as the news that the logistics materials of the Volunteer Army could not keep up, the people of the whole country participated in this material campaign, some donated money and clothing, and some took the initiative to sign up to make fried noodles for the Volunteer Army.
The Chinese donated money to support the Korean battlefield.
The military and the people are in the same boatThe materials of the Volunteer Army were restored to order quickly, the combat effectiveness of the Volunteer Army rose sharply, and the morale of the Volunteer Army won victory after victory, forcing the United States to take the initiative to ask for an armistice, successfully guarding the peace of the Korean Peninsula, and successfully reversing the international status of New China, and gaining a place in the forest of the world.
Whether it is Mr. Peng rushing into the chairman's bedroom or angrily rushing into the crown as a soldier at the conference, or using the soldiers like a god, the people of the whole country work together, everyone is out of consideration for the future of the country. ** and *** didn't care about Mr. Peng's faux pas, and in turn comforted Mr. Peng, showing the open-mindedness of the two great men.
The ancestors triumphed in blood.
Today's national peace and social stability are what our ancestors who shed their blood in exchange for us. It is precisely because of the correct leadership of Mr. Peng, who loves soldiers like a son, that we now have a peaceful and stable good life. Don't forget the history, remember the ancestors!
