Kissinger once said that the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a shame that the United States could not erase. To this day, this war remains a miracle in the minds of many military scientists and an unsolved mystery.
How did China defeat the strong with the weak and the more with less? After long-term research and research, the German family has summed up five indispensable reasons, so what is it?
Guarding the border and going out firmly, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was known as the battle for the founding of China, and also won the reputation of "the strongest army on the surface". As a defeated country in World War II, Germany kept a low profile after the war and was deprived of military power, so it did not join the coalition led by the "United States".
However, they have been following the war closely, and German military experts in particular have a strong interest in studying the operational characteristics of the Chinese Volunteers.
In the eighties of the twentieth century, the German scholars made public their research results on the Chinese People's Volunteers. In these uncovered research materials, five secrets of the victory of the Chinese volunteers were revealed.
Before revealing the answer, we need to understand the military gap between the enemy and the enemy on the Korean battlefield. In fact, in the early days of the American invasion of Korea, China did not intend to participate in this war.
The reason is very simple: At that time, it was in the early days of the founding of New China, and after a hundred years of war, the overall national strength was poor and weak, and the military, economic, political, and cultural aspects were in a stage where everything was in ruins.
At that time, our country's comprehensive national strength was very weak, compared with the superpower of the United States at that time, it was only one-fifteenth of theirs. In terms of **, the ** used in our country has always been the old style**.
In terms of manufacturing, there is a big gap in the manufacturing industry in New China, and there are very few steel that can be used to make the first steel.
In 1950, China's steel production was only 690,000 tons, while the United States' steel production was as high as 87.84 million tons, which intuitively showed that there was a huge gap between China and the United States in terms of GDP and gross automobile production.
Of course, the influence of objective factors cannot be ignored, but subjective factors also play a key role. It is difficult for the Chinese people, who have just emerged from the troubles of war, to accept the reality of being drawn into war again, especially for other countries.
However, the situation is becoming increasingly critical as U.S. forces approach our northeastern border. Under these circumstances, the premier made it clear that the Chinese people will never tolerate foreign aggression, let alone sit idly by while the imperialists wantonly invade their neighbors.
MacArthur firmly believed that China would not dare to confront the U.S. military, so he ignored China's warnings and led his troops to cross the 38th parallel on October 1, 1950, and bombed the Dandong area.
In this context, the first force overrode public opinion and made the decision to "resist US aggression and aid Korea, protect the home and defend the country". Since then, the Chinese People's Volunteers have entered northern Korea and prepared for a seemingly impossible battle.
German experts believe that the primary reason for China's victory is that it was well prepared before the war. After systematic training, the recruits have mastered the basic technical and tactical movements, including blasting, earthwork, individual tactics, as well as squad attacks and company attacks.
At the same time, taking into account the particularity of the Korean battlefield, our army also conducted targeted training in mountain warfare.
In the face of the well-equipped US troops, our army has focused on air defense and anti-tank training in accordance with its own equipment situation, and has strengthened the ability of infantry and artillery to coordinate operations. Before we set out, we have carefully analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of both the enemy and the enemy, and included this gap in the training plan, so that the volunteers can make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses and give full play to their advantages on the battlefield.
By October, when they set foot on the battlefield on the other side of the Yalu River, the Chinese People's Volunteers had taken on a new look and showed a neat and spiritual appearance.
The second point is to raise the diet of the soldiers so that they are physically stronger to cope with the harsh environment of the battlefield. At that time, the problem of food and clothing had not been completely solved, and most people mainly ate coarse grains with less nutrients.
Therefore, it is not easy to achieve this goal. What is touching is that in addition to killing pigs and sheep to enrich the diet of the soldiers, some local farmers took the initiative to bring their domestic animals to the places where the troops were stationed, asking for an improved diet for the soldiers, hoping that they could defend the country.
It was precisely this spirit of unity from top to bottom of the country that laid the foundation for the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. The last and most important point is to boost the morale of the fighters.
After all, the key to winning or losing a war lies in whether the soldiers have the belief that they will win. The Chinese People's Volunteers went to Korea not only to help the Korean people, but more importantly, to protect China's northeastern border.
The veterans of the Northeast were once bullied by the Japanese army, and they used their personal experience to tell the history of this land. In the pre-war mobilization, nothing touched the hearts of the fighters more than the tears of the narrator himself.
Their patriotism was aroused, and they vowed to drive out those who violated the territory of China, whether American or Japanese. The second reason, summed up by German experts, is strategic deployment.
The commander of ** and *** developed correct tactics according to the advantages and characteristics of both the enemy and us. They understand that the US military has air supremacy, and the backwardness of our army in the air force is a fact, and it will not work to fight hard.
Therefore, in the early days of the Volunteer Army's entry into North Korea, the concealment was very well done.
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, our army often adopted the methods of night battles and close combat, which not only brought into play the advantages of our army's flexibility and mobility, but also limited the play of the US Air Force at night.
In addition, our troops also divided the enemy forces into small parts that were isolated from each other by rapid penetration, and then broke them one by one. The use of these tactics is the key to our success in the battle of winning more with less.
In addition, the side of justice always gets more support. Our side is a just counterattack against aggression, while the US military is an unjust war of aggression against other countries. Therefore, the trend of the international community is biased in our favor, and the Soviet Union and other countries have also provided us with help in terms of ** and logistical support.
The fourth reason is our people. Their dedication and support are an important force for the volunteers to fight bravely. The people of China and the DPRK have worked together to overcome difficulties and make selfless contributions, showing the brilliance of humanity.
This kind of cohesion is a characteristic that is rare in the world. Although logistical supply was difficult at that time, the vast number of commanders and fighters still made up their minds to save more than 7 million catties of grain and hundreds of thousands of pieces of clothing and donate them to the Korean people.
This kind of assistance is both our responsibility and our honor. We firmly believe that as long as we are united, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
The volunteer soldiers on the Korean battlefield formed a deep friendship with the local people. The common people did their best to take care of the volunteer soldiers, and even risked their lives to deliver supplies to the soldiers on the front line.
In addition, some volunteer soldiers volunteered to stay in North Korea after the war to help the local people rebuild and resume production after the war. The perseverance and tenacity of these fighters are unmatched by the U.S. military.
On the cold Korean battlefield, the soldiers of the Volunteer Army braved hardships and dangers, including the famous "Ice Sculpture Company".
In the battle of Xinxingli, the 5th Company of the 240th Regiment of the 80th Division of the 27th Army bravely charged, but due to the suppression of the enemy's fierce fire, the whole company lurked in the snow, and finally all of them froze to death in bad weather.
Nevertheless, this could not shake the determination of the volunteers to fight. Their spirit of not being afraid of death is deeply imprinted in their bones, and even if there is only one person left, they must hold their ground.
In the Battle of Changjin Lake, Yang Gensi showed great heroism, he was the commander of the third company, leading the team to hold on to 10711 Heights, repelled the enemy's attacks eight times in a row, and even if there was a huge disparity in firepower between the enemy and us, there was no intention of retreating.
This is the best people, they are not afraid of death, they are not afraid of hardship, and they defend the dignity and honor of the motherland with their lives.
By the time the enemy launched its ninth attack, only Yang Gensi and two wounded men were left on our battlefield. In order to complete the task of the organization, Yang Gensi did not hesitate, rushed to the enemy army with the explosives bag, and died with the remaining American troops.
Relying on this heroic and fearless spirit, the Chinese volunteers defeated the well-equipped marines, the Royal Marines, and a large number of air and sea fleets, and consolidated the international status of New China"One punch makes a hundred punches"effect.
After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, other countries in the world can no longer despise China. The valuable experience left by the volunteers still has an important enlightening effect to this day. Nowadays, China has caught up with the world's advanced level in terms of advanced equipment, but we must not forget the spirit and will honed by our ancestors in difficulties.
The Chinese do not love war, nor are they afraid of war, and if jackals come to attack, we will definitely meet them with shotguns.
