The Inchon landing battle was a turning point in the early days of the Korean War, when the Korean People's Army achieved a huge advantage, forcing the South Korean army to the Pusan defensive circle, although there was the intervention of the US military, but the US army could only be forced to be trapped in the Pusan defensive circle like the South Korean army, the ferocity of the Korean People's Army offensive almost collapsed the Pusan defensive circle, and if the Korean People's Army can really break through the Pusan defense circle in one fell swoop, then there will be no subsequent resistance to US aggression and aid Korea, and even North Korea can really unify the Korean Peninsula as they expect. In the end, however, South Korea and the U.S. military resisted the Korean People's Army's successive attacks at any cost. At that time, the Korean People's Army was already at the end of its power, and it was defeated by the enemy on its back due to the Inchon landing battle, which led to a rout all the way.
In fact, the impact of the Inchon landing battle was not only the defeat of the Korean People's Army, but what is little known is that it also had a certain impact on the launch of the fifth campaign. After our volunteers entered the DPRK, they won successive victories, and although the fourth battle was stopped by the US army, it was at most a draw. Mr. Peng was worried that Li Qiwei would also have a landing war like MacArthur, you must know that at that time, not only was the air supremacy completely in the hands of the US military, but the sea supremacy was also firmly controlled by the US military, and various situations and intelligence at that time also showed that Li Qiwei had the strategic intention of carrying out a landing war to flank the volunteers, so Mr. Peng hoped that before Li Qiwei launched the landing war, he would take the offensive as the defense, launch the fifth campaign, and launch a major war, annihilate 5-6 divisions of the US army, and lay the overall superiority of North Korea.
At that time, China's domestic environment was not good, especially in production, and it would be very unfavorable for the development of New China at that time, and if the manpower, material and financial resources were invested for a long time, it would definitely not be good news for our country.
After getting ***'s approval, ** strengthened his confidence in launching a large-scale operation, but ***'s most trusted deputy poured a basin of cold water on ***, this person is none other than Hong Xuezhi, **called"Hong Mazi"of people. Hong Xuezhi and Mr. Peng have a deep friendship, and it can be said that ***'s life was saved by Hong Xuezhi to a certain extent. At that time, the volunteers had just entered North Korea, and the US air raids were very frequent, and ** was also very worried about this, and called *** many times to ask them to build an air-raid shelter near the headquarters, and it was best to command in the air-raid shelter. **I didn't care about the U.S. airstrikes, and I didn't follow ***'s advice at first. At that time, Hong Xuezhi also agreed with ***'s opinion, believing that the headquarters was the top priority and safety must be guaranteed, so he ordered a solid and reliable air-raid shelter to be built near the headquarters.
On November 25, 1950, the U.S. military launched an air raid again, before the air raid, Hong Xuezhi had persuaded *** to go to the nearby air-raid shelter for operational command and planning, but Mr. Peng was unmoved, Hong Xuezhi was really worried, so he simply forcibly put Mr. Peng in the air-raid shelter. As a result, Mr. Peng escaped, but Mao Anying, the eldest son of ***, died heroically in this air raid.
In view of Mr. Peng's fifth campaign plan, Hong Xuezhi believes that it is better to continue to wait for work, because if our army continues to move south, the enemy continues to retreat, and it will be difficult to deal an effective blow to the enemy if it continues like this. It is better to put the enemy army in the area of Jinhua and Cheorwon, and then our army can take advantage of the opportunity"Stop and slash"When the time comes"Close the door and beat the dog"It will definitely crush the enemy forces. At that time, Mr. Peng was bent on replacing defense with offense, so he did not agree to Hong Xuezhi's suggestion.
The final result of the fifth battle also showed that Mr. Peng's attack was too hasty and too violent, which led to the results of the previous victories of the Volunteer Army being defused by the enemy. Of course, we don't want to see such a result, but if Mr. Peng follows Hong Xuezhi's advice, maybe Li Qiwei will really launch a landing war, which will cause a worse result. Of course, this is just speculation, and there are no ifs in history.
