In July 1950, the US military led its troops to land in southern Korea, and our Chinese People's Volunteers decided to lead their troops to aid northern Korea.
On October 19, 1950, the Chinese People's Volunteers, led by commander and political commissar ***, crossed the Yalu River and rushed to the Korean battlefield, and on the 25th, the prelude to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was opened.
At the beginning of the war, our army formulated a strategy that the US military should not cross"Thirty-eight lines"As a standard, a quick end to the war.
The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was divided into two phases, from October 25, 1950 to June 10, 1951, which was the first stage. Our army took advantage of the American-led ones"Joint**"The coordination mechanism has not yet formed and is anxious to win, so it will carry out surprise attacks and take the total annihilation of the main US army as its operational policy. The two sides waged five wars in a row, and the tide of the war was extremely changeable.
Since June 11, 1951, the tide of the war has entered its second phase. The two sides no longer used war as the main means of competing for victory or defeat, and began to hold peace talks, and the outcome of the war situation became a bargaining chip in negotiations.
The People's Volunteers have shifted from the principle of quick battle to preparing for a protracted war, and have built an offensive and defensive system with tunnel fortifications as the backbone combined with field fortifications.
On November 27, 1951, the two sides reached an agreement on the actual line of contact as the military demarcation line, after which our army turned to an active defense with a defensive nature, holding the battle line and attritioning the enemy. After that, the US military continued to use its air force to carry out small-scale sabotage activities against our defense line.
In the autumn of 1952, the Chinese and Korean People's Army had just lost the Battle of Baima Mountain, and the war began that lasted for 43 days"Battle of Shangganling"。
In order to compete for this piece of 3In the 7-square-kilometer position, the strength of the US coalition forces was expanded from the initial two battalions to more than two divisions, and a total of 11 artillery battalions of the Volunteer Army participated in the battle.
The battle leveled the mountain by 2 meters.
The Volunteer Army consumed a total of about 50.4 million rounds of various bullets in this campaign (which is equivalent to the ammunition consumption of the entire self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. Where:
Daily average 117The 20,000 rounds of ammunition consumption data means that during the six weeks of continuous combat, each soldier of our army averaged a firing density of 4 rounds per 5 minutes.
The intensity of the battlefield can be imagined......
Born in peacetime, we occasionally go to the shooting range to shoot targets, and we are still shocked by the complete protection of goggles and earmuffs. How to imagine the fierceness of the Shangganling battlefield back then.
What scares the US-ROK coalition forces more than the battlefield is the determination of the Chinese and North Korean People's Army to hold their ground.
The rate of the Chinese and North Korean People's Army is more than 25%, but the US-ROK coalition forces do not feel the lack of troops on our side at all. Every time the U.S. thought it had sealed the victory and ended the battle, new resistance forces emerged.
This is a heavy blow to the morale of the coalition forces, they don't understand that those endless sources of Chinese **** people are coming out of **, these Chinese are not afraid of death?
The United States and South Korea also forced the Far East Command of the coalition forces to stop the operational plan of continuing to send more troops, and curbed the operational intention of the United States to continue to organize large-scale offensives.
It can be said that this is a battle of prestige, this is a battle to stop the war, and this is a battle to establish victory!
While enjoying the fruits of victory, let us not forget the history of our country and, together with the martyrs, carry forward the indomitable national spirit!
