One day in 1940, Chen Geng, a general of the Eighth Route Army, commanded operations on the front lineIt was severely criticized by the superiors. The reason is that Chen Geng ordered the soldiers to dig the trench to a depth of 2 meters, which is much more than the normal depth. This decision seemed reckless and was even mistaken for irresponsibility for the lives of the fighters.
What kind of deliberate tactical layout is hidden behind it? How did Chen Geng, a general known for his wisdom and humor, skillfully use this strategy to win the battle? What is the truth behind this period of history?
At a critical moment in 1940, Chen Geng, the commander of the 129th Division, was busy formulating an elaborate battle plan to deal with the Japanese attack. At this time, the senior commander *** decided to personally go to the front line of Taiyue to conduct a field trip. His arrival coincided with the approach of a large number of enemy forcesThe situation is tense.
Chen Geng is well aware of the danger on the front line and resolutely opposes the decision. But *** insisted on patrolling, and Chen Geng had to accompany him. When he arrived at the position, he witnessed those trenches that were two meters deep, and couldn't help but be furious, and asked Chen Geng what kind of tactic this was.
Chen Geng responded indifferently: "This is a grave prepared for the enemy. "** Anger is irrepressible, thinking that such a deep trench is also a threat to your own soldiersHe stressed the seriousness of war and the responsibility for the lives of soldiers. Immediately after that, a report showed that the Japanese were only five kilometers away from the position, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
Chen Geng hurriedly arranged for *** to evacuate, but *** still stubbornly questioned those bottomless trenches. On the eve of the urgent battle, Chen Geng had to briefly explain that this was a new tactic and promised *** that he would win. As the enemy approached, the guards hurriedly took *** away from the battlefield.
At this critical moment, Chen Geng quickly adjusted his deploymentCommand the troops to prepare to meet the enemy. His deep trench tactics, although questioned, concealed foresight. The depth of the trenches was actually designed to put the Japanese in a difficult situation, and once they jumped into the trenches, it would be difficult to climb out quickly.
And at this time, our soldiers can take advantage of thisLaunch a deadly assault on enemy forces. As the battle began, Chen Geng's troops showed amazing combat effectiveness. The enemy army plunged headlong into the well-designed trenches and fell into the trap preset by Chen Geng. This seemingly unfavorable battle, which ended in the victory of our army, fully proved Chen Geng's tactical wisdom and foresight.
After this battle, ** finally understood Chen Geng's intentionsI deeply admire it. And Chen Geng's unique tactics have also become a good story in the history of war, showing his extraordinary wisdom as a military strategist.
General Chen Geng, an outstanding figure in the military history of the Chinese revolution, has repeatedly created miracles on the battlefield with his eclectic command style and witty and humorous character. His tactical designs are both unique and efficient, often catching enemies by surprise. As one of the important commanders of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, he was at a disadvantage in equipment and personnelIt is still able to make clever use of limited resources and has achieved victory after victory.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the squadron faced the well-equipped Japanese army, and was often at a significant disadvantage in terms of equipment. This was especially true of Red Army units such as the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth ArmyNot only are there a lack of heavy ** such as aircraft, artillery and tanksEven light ** such as rifles, machine guns and grenades ** are insufficient.
In the face of such a predicament, General Chen Geng was still able to use guerrilla tactics with his unique insights to effectively contain and strike at the enemy army. In the summer of 1940, the Eighth Route Army was under the command of the deputy commander-in-chiefIn order to break through the blockade of the Japanese army, a large-scale attack was launched along the two railway lines of Zhengtai and Tongpu. The operation gathered the strength of hundreds of regiments and launched a powerful counterattack against the Japanese occupation forces in North China.
In the next two months, the Eighth Route Army not only annihilated thousands of Japanese puppet troopsA large number of railway and road facilities were also successfully damaged, and numerous military supplies were seized. This series of battles not only dealt a major blow to the Japanese army, but also greatly boosted the morale and influence of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.
General Chen Geng played a key role in these battles. He was carefully designed and deployed not only at the tactical level,Also personally involved in the command of many key battles. His intelligence and courage, as well as a deep understanding of the situation on the battlefield, allowed him to gain an advantage in adverse conditions.
In the brutal environment of the Korean War, Chen Geng, a general of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, played a vital role. His innovative tactics, especially the implementation of tunnel tactics, provided strong support for the effectiveness of the squadron's anti-Japanese war. This wise and brave general is not only a hero on the battlefieldIt is also a pioneer in tactical innovation.
Chen Geng's observation on the Korean battlefield was meticulousHe noted that the spontaneous improvement of the fighters by "cat ear piercings" provided him with inspiration. These rudimentary bunkers not only provided shelter but also aided in the storage of supplies. He studied this phenomenon in depth and proposed more systematic and complex tunneling tactics.
Under his direct guidance, the Volunteer Army built a series of tunnels hundreds of kilometers long on the front line. These tunnels are not only strong and durable, but also have a variety of functions such as waterproof and anti-virusComparable to an underground fortress.
In April 1952, Chen Geng returned to the Korean battlefieldSucceed ***. He immediately convened a meeting of senior military officers to promote the trench tactics in an all-round way. Under his promotion, the scale and quality of the construction of the new tunnel have made a qualitative leap. These tunnels are equipped with restaurants, warehouses, toilets and other facilities, which greatly improve the survival and combat ability of soldiers.
Especially in the Battle of Shangganling, Chen Geng's tunnel tactics played a decisive role. Although the intensity of the U.S. artillery fire hit a new high since World War II, and the hill was flattened by artillery fire by nearly two meters, the sturdiness of the tunnel structure ensured the defense capability of the volunteers. Under the protection of the tunnels, the volunteers were able to effectively resist artillery fire and launch powerful counterattacks when the enemy attacked.
Chen Geng's tactics greatly improved the survival rate of the volunteers. Before the implementation of the tunnel tactics, the U.S. military could cause an average of one volunteer soldier per 40 to 60 shellsHowever, after the tunnel was built, this number dropped significantly.
Chen Geng's tactic was not only successful at the tactical levelIt shows more deeply his deep understanding of the war environment and his deep concern for the lives of soldiers. His contribution is an indelible page in the struggle against US aggression and aid Korea, and it deserves to be remembered forever.
On the Korean battlefield, Chen Geng, an outstanding general of the Chinese People's Volunteers, demonstrated his military talents. After arriving at the front, he quickly organized an important meeting of officers, focusing on explaining and promoting tunnel tactics. This tactic quickly became the core defense of the Volunteer Army.
Chen Geng's tunnel design took into account the various needs of the battlefieldEach pit is impregnable and the interior is fully equipped. In addition to providing sturdy shelter, these tunnels are integrated with waterproofing, anti-virus and even essential amenities such as restaurants, warehouses and toilets. Such a design significantly increased the survivability and combat efficiency of the soldiers.
It was only when these extensive and deep tunnels were built that the U.S. and South Korean militaries truly realized their power. They found that no matter how many shells were thrown, the positions of the volunteers always seemed to be standing. Especially in the Battle of Shangganling, the tunnels showed unparalleled tactical value. Although the firepower of the US army reached an unprecedented intensity, it failed to effectively weaken the combat effectiveness of the volunteers.
The implementation of tunnel tactics greatly increased the survival rate of the volunteers. Before the tunnel was built, the U.S. military needed about 40 to 60 shells to inflict the first of the Chinese soldiers. After the tunnel was completed, that number rose to a staggering 660. This fact fully proves the great role of tunnels in protecting the lives of soldiers.
The statistics after the end of the Korean War are even more striking. The total length of tunnels built by the Chinese volunteers during the war reached 1,290 kilometers, and the total length of trenches and communication trenches exceeded 6,000 kilometers. This vast network of fortifications has shown great value not only in terms of tacticsIt also symbolizes the tenacity and wisdom of the squadron.
When the Chinese People's Volunteers initially entered the Korean battlefield, they won one battle after another with their surprise strategy. However, as the war deepened, the U.S. military began to gradually adapt to the combat methods of the volunteers, and the fighting became more and more difficult. The U.S. military uses its superior firepower and air support,The tactical layout of the Volunteer Army was frequently broken, which made the original tactics gradually ineffective.
Generals and other generals are constantly studying and adjusting tacticsTrying to pin down the US forces with encirclement and ambush tactics. However, due to the powerful firepower and rapid mobility of the US military, many tactical attempts by the volunteers failed to achieve the expected results, and the morale of the volunteers could not help but be affected, and feelings of inferiority and fear of war appeared.
As a commander, he had a straightforward temper and was often outspoken in his criticism of mistakes on the battlefield and the complaints of his soldiers. This kind of high-pressure management method, although it has its reasonablenessBut it also brought additional psychological pressure to the soldiers.
In this context, the role of General Chen Geng has become more and more prominent. He is well aware that in addition to material equipment and tactical layout,The mentality of the soldier is equally crucial to the outcome of the warHe often told light-hearted jokes in the troops, and tried to ease the tension of soldiers who had just been withdrawn from the front line. In this way, to a certain extent, he helped the soldiers to regain their confidence and fighting spirit.
In particular, in the fifth campaign of the Korean War, the magnetic tactics adopted by the US army inflicted heavy losses on the 180 Division. At the subsequent operational meeting, great dissatisfaction was expressed with the performance of Wei Jie, the commander of the 60th ArmyHe even verbally criticized and threatened severe punishment. This scene was a huge psychological shock for the soldiers.
In this tense and stressful environment, Chen Geng became the spiritual pillar of the soldiers. He not only gave tactical guidance, but also psychologically supported the soldiersHelp them stay strong-willed in tough battlefield environments. In this way, he invisibly enhanced the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the volunteer army and contributed his strength to the victory of the war.
In that crucial battle, General Chen Geng's tactical use can be described as brilliant. His military acumen was on full display in this campaign, which eventually led to the forced retreat of the Japanese army after a heavy **. This victory not only ensured the security of most of the Taiyue Military Region,It has also protected the lives and property of countless civilians.
After the battle, General Chen Geng was highly praised by his superiors. **The division commander was full of praise for General Chen's tactical usePraising him always brings unexpected surprises. The commander-in-chief also highly appreciated Chen Geng's performance, believing that his wisdom and innovative spirit had brought valuable advantages to the army.
In this campaign, Chen Geng borrowed from the tactics of the Guangxi generals to suppress the west. Ling is adept at using the environment to set up formations, and his innovative tactics often catch the enemy by surprise. Chen Geng has learned a lot from his experience, especially his unique "bench tactics". This tactic emphasizes the transformation of the battlefield according to the terrain and topography to make it more conducive to one's own operations. He recognized that if the natural environment was not conducive to warfare,Then you have to change it by manpower.
The success of this battle made Chen Geng deeply understand the true meaning of "bench tactics", that is, to use environmental advantages for his own use. He applied this idea to the Korean WarThe strategy of tunnel construction was proposed and implemented. These tunnels not only provided strong cover for the soldiers, but alsoIt also effectively reduces the rate of ** of soldiers. With his wisdom and determination, the losses of the Volunteer Army were greatly reduced, demonstrating his outstanding military leadership.
Chen Geng's tactical thinking and practice have embodied his profound military wisdom and flexible and changeable combat style. He is as unpredictable as water, always able to bring victory to the army at a critical moment. In the face of such an ingenious opponent, the Japanese army undoubtedly encountered an unprecedented challenge. Chen Geng's tactical innovation and command art have left a strong mark on the history of China's affairs.
