"The King"Li Kenong has always been engaged in underground work, never on the front line, never shot or fought, but used his identity as a ** to carry out important underground work for the motherland. Li Kenong is Chen Geng's good brother and his friend of life and death. On March 16, 1961, Chen Geng, who was not yet 60 years old, just like his joke during the Anti-Japanese War, said that he would not live to be 60 years old, and sure enough, on this day, he had a myocardial infarction and died. When Li Kenong learned the news, he immediately slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground and said"Chen Geng is not there, and the wine is tasteless. "
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Volunteer Army was very short of manpower and excellent leaders, the first thing that came to mind was Chen Geng, he thought that this position belonged to Chen Geng, who was still assisting Vietnam in resisting the French invaders. **Urgently summoned Chen Geng back, it seems that with him, there is a reassurance.
Chen Geng led the Third Corps into North Korea in March 1951, but he was hit by a bullet in his left leg on the battlefield before, leaving a hidden danger. It took three months before he returned to Korea to fight. **I was very happy to see Chen Geng, because Chen Geng's brain power is always greater than actual combat, and he came up with the most methods.
The main reason for inviting him this time was to carry out the sixth campaign, because he had a lot of actual combat experience, first experienced the War of Resistance against Japan, the War of Liberation, and then went to Vietnam to fight against the French army, so the defense or offensive of the sixth campaign was decided by him.
The method that Chen Geng came up with was really different from ordinary people, during the Battle of Guanjiayuan and the sabotage battle, our army used civil engineering operations to defeat the enemy, so Chen Geng wanted to implement this policy on the Korean battlefield. He intended to defend as an offense, that is, to abandon the sixth campaign and concentrate on defense.
Protecting one's own supplies, one's own troops, and transportation channels is also a very meaningful thing on the battlefield, because in the previous five battles, although our army won victories, it also lost a lot of personnel, and it was not suitable to take the initiative to attack again. Chen Geng means to dig a pit, take the civil work to the extreme, and build a secret underground transportation channel.
Just do it, Wang Yaonan, who is very good at this aspect, was called to Mr. Peng, and he gave this task to Wang Yaonan with full authority, because before this, when the Red Army was on the Long March, the Red Army of more than 20,000 people used tunnel warfare to safely transfer to other places, and this time it was necessary to use this method.
Wang Yaonan first began to prepare hardware equipment, exchanged a large number of vegetables, fruits and nuts for air compressors and air picks to the Soviet army, and dug many passages on the high mountains and mountains on the peninsula for our army's transportation and transfer. On September 18, 1951, when the ROK and US armies carried out aerial bombardment against our army, our army had already safely hidden underground, and the transportation lines and trains passed through the mountains, completely unaffected by the outside world.
In the first few years of Chen Geng's life, he established an engineering school in Harbin that was comparable to Tsinghua University and Peking University, that is, the Harbin Military Engineering College, and continued to carry forward the civil engineering work.
