The Korean campaign was hot, and it seemed that it was about to come to an end, but Mr. Peng's body could no longer adapt to the high-intensity work, so he replaced Chen Geng to take over the rest of the work, and Chen Geng, as the commander-in-chief, played a huge role in the final Korean battlefield.
The Battle of Shangganling took place from October 14 to November 25, 1952, the two sides of this war were the volunteers and the United ** team, the war was very tragic, the degree has exceeded the highest level of the Second World War, this war is world-famous, a total of 43 days, just fighting for territory has happened 59 times, repelled the enemy more than 900 times.
The outcome of this battle was the victory of the Volunteer Army, the main commanders were Qin Jiwei, Cui Jiangong, Li Desheng, and the victory of the war meant that the Volunteer Army smashed the conspiracy of the United ** and let them this"Showdown"Down for the count.
This is inseparable from Chen Geng's precautions, because in the Battle of Shangganling, the most common tactic used by our army is tunnel tactics, whether it is transporting materials, transferring personnel, or escaping, and fighting around the rear, most of them are carried out in tunnels, and during Chen Geng's tenure, what most of the soldiers did was how to dig tunnels and how to use tunnels to fight better.
Chen Geng stressed the importance of tunnel engineering at the meeting many times, because the enemy army does not know this kind of combat technology, and it is a matter worth carrying forward that the volunteers can rely on this technology to achieve victory. But there is another voice in the army: the tunnel project is digging its own grave, and if you are not careful, you will bury yourself in it, so the tunnel project must be refined and refined to ensure that there is no danger.
The rainy season is very unsuitable for digging tunnels, which are easy to be washed away, so Chen Geng asked all the troops to dig tunnels before this, that is, the entire tunnel transportation system. The 15th Army dug tunnels with the help of the 12th and 60th armies, and the army implemented a shift system, digging day and night, and finally after three months, the tunnels were successfully excavated, which laid the foundation for the victory of the Shangganling Campaign. The tunnel can play a defensive role, and it can also use the tunnel to fight counterattack warfare and guerrilla warfare, because our backup can't keep up quickly, so we don't have to worry too much about the consumption of materials.
In the battle of Shangganling, the enemy's firepower was ferocious and abnormal, it was the most attack suffered by our army, the enemy seemed to have pressed all the bets on this battle, the tunnel played a role, our army dodged a lot of artillery impact, the tunnel project to resist US aggression and aid Korea was huge, equivalent to an underground castle, with a total length of several thousand kilometers.
Rats burrowing, ants moving, every trivial thing can be a decisive factor in the victory of the war. Chen Geng is also precisely because in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation and other battles summed up the tunnel project is a magic weapon that can win, very far-sighted let the volunteers dig the tunnel system, and later Chen Geng returned to China, ** let him establish the Kazakh military industry, which is also an affirmation of his war ability.
The victory of the Battle of Shangganling was inseparable from Chen Geng's foresight, although the commander-in-chief was not him, but many soldiers regarded the built dungeon as a haven, a place to support their fighting strength.
