On the battlefield of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, there was no definite official conclusion on the best performance of the Volunteer Army. Analyzed from different dimensions, different people may have different opinions. Judging from the number of enemies destroyed, the 40th Army destroyed the most enemies, and it was the only one among the volunteers who annihilated more than 10,000 people against the US army. But on a comprehensive analysis, the best performance should be the 39th Army.
In the 1990s, the magazine "World Military" published an article describing a group army of our army, which was called a "victorious army." Although the article does not write the name of this army, as long as you are familiar with the previous battles of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, you will know that the "Winning Army" refers to the 39th Army. The commander of the army is General Wu Xinquan, this unit is an old unit, from the Red Army period is a famous ace unit, the first is the Red 25th Army and the 26th Army merged to form the Red 15th Corps, and later included in the Red Army First Front Army.
During the three-year Korean War, the 39th Army fought the first battle of Unsan, recovered Pyongyang, conquered Seoul, advanced 30 kilometers in one night in the enemy's defense area to cut off enemy reinforcements, besieged the enemy, and set a record of more than 2,500 enemy soldiers captured in one battle by one division. Participated in almost all the big battles and hard battles of the Volunteer Army. Among them, in the battle of Yunshan, the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Army was defeated by the sword of the 39th Army. As the ace division of the US army in World War II, the 1st Cavalry Division was annihilated by a battalion by the 39th Army on the Korean battlefield, which shook the entire United States ** and greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese and North Korean armies. The name of the 39th Army's victorious army is by no means false, even if the overall battle situation is unfavorable and when he is ordered to retreat, he can release the Huachuan Reservoir to flood the American Army of the Seventh Army, and then retreat safely, which makes Li Qi sigh with a sigh of hope. Fort Irwin, the largest military training base of the US military, has a professional "Red Army" with the number 39A. In the US military's books on the history of the Korean War, the 39th Army broke through the Imjin River -- "one of the outstanding examples of battles in the world's military history."
Later, the 39th Army became a window for our army to show its style to the outside world, and many generals of foreign armies visited China. In 2005, when US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld visited China, he made four requests, the other three were official and official, except for the last one, which was a private request, which was to visit the 39th Army, that is, the 39th Group Army stationed in Liaoyang at that time.
