After the broadcast of "Scout Heroes", there were many topics, and one of the doubts came from the truce moment in the last episode, when the volunteer soldiers cheered "We have won", and this article will talk about this line.
1. Highlights of the finale of "Scout Heroes".
There are two highlights in the final episode of Recon Heroes, the first of which is the shelling before the armistice.
Before the armistice time arrived at 22 o'clock, both sides were frantically pouring shells on each other's positions, and there was a volunteer cadre in history who could not help but sigh when he saw such a spectacular scene: If there are no dead people, there is nothing more fun than fighting.
It is often said that the US military is frantically shelling because it is unwilling to move artillery shells, but in fact, both sides are doing this as a kind of demonstration, indicating that they are brave and comparable.
The scene of "Scout Hero" was filmed well, especially the division commander's sentence "Come and don't be rude" is very domineering, and the sentence "ammunition is not limited" shows our confidence.
Another highlight was that several comrades who died in the reconnaissance company "appeared" at Liang Chen's wedding scene and clinked glasses with him.
The story of "Scout Heroes" began in the spring of 1951 and ended in July 1953, in more than two years, the instructor Shu Min, the first squad leader Li Wanfu, the deputy squad leader Yu Xiaoshan, the soldiers Liu Heiniu, Bi Lei Needle, and Jin Zhe died tragically.
In addition, Liang Chen, the head of the reconnaissance section, was seriously injured, and almost all the other people in the squad had been injured, plus the last battle of the reconnaissance company was hundreds, this ** proportion is still quite large, and it is not a divine drama as some netizens said at all.
Second, we won.
Scout Heroes uses three lines to describe the scene after the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement: Truce, peace, and victory.
Some people on the Internet expressed different views on "we have won", and they believe that the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea can only be regarded as a draw at most, so how can we be regarded as victorious.
This question needs to be clarified.
Why did war break out on the Korean Peninsula? The fundamental reason is the north-south ** caused by the United States' forced drawing of the 38th parallel, which laid the groundwork for the war.
In 1945, the United States drew the 38th parallel, and there was still a possibility of reunification on the Korean Peninsula, but in August 1948, South Korea first announced the establishment of the country, and in September 1948, the North Korea also established the country.
By the way, the same thing happened in Germany a year later, with West Germany founding the state first, and East Germany establishing the state. If we talk about it, South Korea and West Germany are the initiators of the two countries, and if they do not establish the state, they can continue to talk, but once the statehood is officially established, it will be difficult to talk about it.
Many people think that after the outbreak of the Korean War, the US military entered the war because the South Korean army was defeated, but this is not the case.
The Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950, and the U.S. Air Force entered the war on June 26, the day after it broke out, and on June 27, the third day of the outbreak, the U.S. Seventh Fleet blockaded the Taiwan Strait, linking the South Korean issue with the Taiwan Strait issue, and laying the groundwork for the volunteers to participate in the war.
On July 5, the eleventh day of the outbreak of the Korean War, the U.S. Army's Task Force Smith exchanged fire with the Korean People's Army at Osan and then the U.S. troops entered Korea in large numbers one after another.
On 15 September, the U.S. troops landed at Incheon, directly turning the tide of the war, and the Korean People's Army was completely defeated, and the U.S. and South Korean armies began to counterattack, and soon broke through to the vicinity of the 38th parallel.
At the end of September and the beginning of October, China warned the United States through various means and channels: If the US military crosses the 38th parallel, we will definitely take care of it. As a result, the U.S. military did not care about our country's warnings at all, and directly advanced the front to the Yalu River in one go.
Therefore, the reason why the Volunteers entered the DPRK was not because the Korean People's Army was defeated, but because the US troops had crossed the 38th parallel, and if the US troops did not cross the 38th parallel, the volunteers would not have entered the war.
After the Volunteer Army entered Korea, it launched one campaign and two campaigns in succession to drive the US troops back to the 38th parallel.
However, the Volunteers were still ordered to launch three campaigns to break through the 38th parallel to occupy Seoul and force the US troops to retreat to the 37th parallel.
With the end of four campaigns and five campaigns, the American army finally found that they were simply not capable of defeating the Volunteers, and armistice negotiations began.
From this point of view, the Chinese Volunteers have achieved the goal of entering the DPRK and participating in the war, and our demand is that the US military must not cross the 38th parallel and go north, and if it dares to cross the line, it will attack you. As a result, they really passed, we really fought, and the U.S. troops were beaten back to the 38th parallel, achieving our goal of sending troops.
Therefore, the signing of the armistice agreement achieved the purpose of the volunteer army's participation in the war, and of course it should be "we have won".
The Korean War armistice talks lasted for two years, and there were many breakdowns in between, one of which was because the US military proposed a so-called "naval and air force compensation."
What the US side means is that there is not much difference in the strength of the US Army and the Chinese People's Volunteers, but the strength of the US Navy and Air Force is much stronger than that of the Chinese People's Volunteers, and the armistice agreement should take into account the superiority of the US Navy and Air Force, and the Chinese Volunteers must retreat several dozen kilometers from the existing front as compensation for the US Navy and Air Force.
The volunteers simply ignore the unreasonable demands of the United States, let alone get things that cannot be obtained on the battlefield, let alone those on the negotiating table, no matter how strong your navy and air force are, it is useless.
Therefore, if we consider the overall strength, in the face of the US military, which has a strong navy and air force and is also better equipped than the Chinese People's Volunteers, the Chinese People's Volunteers were able to maintain a stable front during the two-year negotiation period, which can also show that "we have won."
Therefore, if you consider the comparison of strength between the two sides and the purpose of the war, the volunteers can certainly cheer "We have won".
3. The day of the armistice.
When the armistice agreement of the Korean War was signed, the mentality of the four parties participating in the war was not the same (other "joint **" outside the US military was ignored).
Of course, the Korean People's Army hopes to continue to fight and finally unify the entire peninsula, but their strength does not allow it, and the previous main force has already been exhausted, even if they are unhappy, they can only accept the armistice agreement, and at the same time, they must be glad that the volunteers have helped them.
South Korea, of course, wanted to fight more, and before the outbreak of the Korean War, they also wanted to advance northward, and launched many provocative operations. In the later stages of the Korean War, the strength of the South Korean Army began to surpass that of the Korean People's Army, and some of the main divisions and regiments could even wrestle with the volunteers.
However, with the victory of the Volunteer Army in the Battle of Geumseong, the South Korean Army also had to accept the armistice agreement.
The U.S. military must be reluctant to the armistice agreement, after all, they are the strongest, but they really can't break the defense line of the volunteers, and it is not good for their global strategy (Europe is the center of gravity) to wear it down, and they are also opposed to continuing to fight in Korea, so they have to sign an armistice agreement.
The Volunteer Army is the most detached mentality, at this time the Volunteer Army has been fully equipped with Soviet-style equipment, the gap between the Army and the US Army is getting smaller and smaller, the logistics have also been greatly improved, and the ability to defend or attack has been greatly enhanced.
If the U.S. military is unwilling to continue fighting, the battle line has stopped at the 38th parallel anyway, restored to the situation before the outbreak of the war, and has also achieved the purpose of the volunteers participating in the war, of course an armistice agreement can be signed.
Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of the battle objectives, the comparison of strength, and the situation before the armistice, the volunteers can shout "We are victorious", and there is no problem with the lines of "Scout Heroes".
