On July 27, 1953, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed in Panmunjom, the Korean Peninsula. After great sacrifices, the Chinese People's Volunteers won the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
This news made *** very happy, he sang a Peking opera in the courtyard of Fengze Garden in Zhongnanhai, and said to the guards around him: "We can take off our military uniforms, I take them off, and you take them off too." ”
On September 12 of the same year, he presided over the 24th meeting of the People's Committee to hear the "Report on the Work of the Chinese People's Volunteers to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea."
At the meeting, the significance of resisting the United States and aiding Korea was comprehensively summarized: "First, together with the Korean people, we fought back to the 38th parallel and held the 38th parallel. This is important.
If the 38th parallel is not returned, the front line is still on the Yalu River and the Tumen River, and the people in Shenyang, Anshan, Fushun and other areas will not be able to produce with peace of mind. Second, we have gained actual combat experience against the invading US forces and have found out the details of them.
For the U.S. ** team, if you don't touch it, you will be afraid of it. We've been fighting it for thirty-three months, and we've gotten to know its bottom to the ground. U.S. imperialism is not terrible, that's what it is.
We've learned this one, and it's been a great one. Third, it has raised the political consciousness of the people of the whole country. As a result of the above three articles, the fourth article was born: the postponement of the new imperialist war of aggression against China and the postponement of the third world war.
The imperialist aggressors should understand that now that the Chinese people have been organized, they cannot be provoked. If you mess with it, it's not easy to do. ”
Under the bloody struggle of the Chinese People's Volunteers, this war was finally won. According to statistics, the number of martyrs of the volunteers totaled 197653, including former militia workers, former workers, and other sacrifices after the armistice and before the volunteers returned home.
This heroic sacrifice has firmly established the friendship between China and the DPRK and has endured the changes in the international situation. Therefore, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the armistice, the DPRK side held a large-scale celebration and invited Chinese and Russian delegations to visit the DPRK and participate in commemorative activities.
Both China and Russia attach great importance to this. The Chinese side sent a Chinese party and government delegation led by Li Hongzhong, member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China and vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, while the Russian side sent a military delegation led by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
In order to welcome the arrival of the Chinese and Russian delegations, the supreme leader of the DPRK personally invited them to perform a large-scale performance to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Fatherland Liberation War. As can be seen from the scene**, Shoigu and Ri Hongzhong are sitting on either side of the supreme leader of the DPRK.
During an important celebration, North Korea** specially arranged for veterans of the war to sit in the front row to show respect and gratitude to them. These veterans participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation in China, and made great contributions to the birth of New China.
The audience sitting in the front row also included the descendants of the martyrs, who received the salute from all the audience and the Chinese and Russian delegations at such an important moment, which is enough to show that the DPRK attaches great importance to them.
The KCNA also reported on it, emphasizing the historical merits and noble spirit of these veterans of the war, as well as their unwavering contributions to the Korean revolution.
The establishment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation attracted a large number of young Korean anti-Japanese fighters to join, among which Yang Lin and Jin Ce were outstanding representatives. Yang Lin held important leadership positions in the early days of the establishment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, and made significant contributions to the establishment and development of the 1st and 2nd armies of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation.
Kim Chae, the highest-ranking Korean general in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, was active in the revolution in an underground youth progressive group and joined the Chinese Communist Party. According to statistics, there were 11 armies in the heyday of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, and each army had more than half of the Korean ethnic officers and soldiers, including the Third Division of the Second Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance led by Kim Il Sung.
These Korean anti-Japanese officers and soldiers paid great sacrifices for the victory of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. During the War of Liberation, a large number of Korean officers and soldiers accepted the leadership of the great leader ***, and fought to the death against the Kuomintang army for the victory of the Liberation War, and finally witnessed the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Kim Il Sung secretly came to Beijing to give a detailed introduction to the situation on the peninsula, the Korean People's Army is outdated in equipment and lacks training. Kim Il Sung expressed the hope that the Korean officers and soldiers in the People's Liberation Army would be handed over to the DPRK ** command, ** agreed, and assured Kim Il Sung that in the event of a war on the peninsula, China would place troops along the Yalu River, and the United States would not interfere regardless of it, and if the 38th parallel was crossed, China would definitely fight back.
China's contribution to the Korean War cannot be ignored. In addition to the heroic struggle of the volunteers, the officers and soldiers of the Korean nationality are also an important part of it. There are three regular divisions of Korean officers and soldiers in the PLA, totaling more than 50,000 people.
Before the outbreak of the war, ** demanded that these Korean officers and soldiers be dressed with the best ** equipment. Soon, the best equipment aided by the Soviet Union arrived in Pyongyang, and the strength of the Korean People's Army was greatly enhanced.
These Korean officers and men who have gone through the baptism of war have rich combat experience, which the South Korean army does not have. Thus, in the Korean War, the South Korean army was crushed by the attack of the Korean People's Army.
When MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in Japan, visited South Korea, he was shocked by the frightened eyes and low morale of the South Korean troops who had retreated from the front. MacArthur believed that the whole of South Korea was in a panic under the attack of the Korean People's Army, and that without strong foreign aid, North Korea would soon unify the Korean Peninsula.
In the end, the US-led "United **" directly intervened in the Korean War by force and successfully implemented the Inchon landing.
On the Korean battlefield, the Korean People's Army was losing and retreating, while the "United **" attacked north of the 38th parallel. At this time, Kim Il Sung asked China for help, hoping that China would send troops into Korea to fight side by side with the Korean People's Army and drive out the invaders.
After receiving Kim Il Sung's letter, ** held a series of meetings, and finally made a decision to send troops to the DPRK. The war was one of the hardest decisions to make in a lifetime for ***, and it took 18 days and nights.
On the evening of October 19, 1950, the first batch of nearly 270,000 volunteers secretly crossed the Yalu River, fought side by side with the Korean People's Army, and finally won the war.
Although the volunteers sacrificed nearly 200,000 people, the ** of the Korean People's Army is also very amazing. Therefore, the DPRK side placed the descendants of veterans and martyrs in the front row at the theatrical performance to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Korean armistice, which is a tribute to their heroic sacrifice.
Heroes are the shining coordinates of a nation, and we should always remember their exploits.
Heroes are the mainstay of the country, the nation and society, and advocating and respecting heroes should become the general consensus of the whole society. In this large-scale theatrical performance, in addition to the veterans sitting in the front row, there were also many veterans in the audience, who were deeply moved and cried.
The spirit of the veterans lives on, and the great achievements of the martyrs of the volunteers are immortal!
