MacArthur and Chiang Kai-shek, two "principals", humiliated each other at the conference table. MacArthur sarcastically mocked Chiang Kai-shek: Your students are all better than you. Unexpectedly, Chiang Kai-shek countered the first army: the students taught are all waste, how can they fight? I have to say that in terms of superficial kung fu, Lao Jiang is still very set, no matter how he says "fighting in the nest", he can't let MacArthur see the joke! Moreover, MacArthur's defeat on the Korean battlefield was fueled by Lao Chiang, what did Lao Chiang do?
MacArthur's defeat.
At the end of July 1950, MacArthur took a special plane to Taiwan for a one-day visitChiang Kai-shek and Soong MeilingThe two went to Changi Airport to greet themJiang Mai and the two have never met but call each other "old friends".It turns out that the historical relationship between these two is so deep. Subsequently, MacArthur and Chiang Kai-shek had an in-depth conversation centered on the Korean War. After the conversation, he agreed and supported Chiang Kai-shek's offer to send itThe most elite 52nd Army is 30,000 peopleThe desire to go to North Korea to participate in the war, and then took Song Meiling to the United States to lobby outside the hospital.
Time magazineThe report on August 7 of that year also said that MacArthur even optimistically predicted that the Kuomintang would "return to the mainland" within a year. MacArthur shook Chiang Kai-shek's hand and said, "Honorable Generalissimo, we are now fighting together again in the same trenches. I remember that Mr. Chiang and I were old partners during the last war. At this point, he was affectionateIt was Chiang Kai-shek's brother, completely forgetting that not long ago he was still satirizing the fact that Chiang Kai-shek's students all went to the mainland.
Chiang Kai-shek smiled and translated through Soong Meiling: With the support of our American allies, we will definitely win. Chiang Kai-shek also forgot that not long ago he was racking his brains about how to deal with this man's intrigues. So far, everything is going well for the old friend who dreamed of it. As a result, after Truman learned that MacArthur agreed to Chiang Kai-shek's plan to send troops, he scolded MacArthur in **You deserve to be a martyr in World War II! At the same time, MacArthur returned to Tokyo and shouted at TrumanYou shouldn't be a**!
How could old Chiang Ho-tak make Truman and MacArthur so atmospheric? The first person to veto Chiang Kai-shek was Shi ShiAcheson of the US Secretary of State。He believes that Taiwan, where Chiang Kai-shek is located, is itself an area that is extremely vulnerable to attack, and the US military wasted a lot of effort and spent a lot of money in order to prevent the remnants of Chiang Kai-shek's army from being attacked. If the Kuomintang army appeared on the Korean battlefield, it would inevitably cause the Chinese and even Soviet troops to intervene.
However, MacArthur, the big soldier**, will understand Acheson's "good intentions"? MacArthur could only be incompetent and furious, scolding Truman and Acheson: ".Everyone in Washington's office has hypochondriasis! ”。And Chiang Kai-shek, who was disappointed in the failure of the plan, also scolded the United StatesHow stupid it is! ”However, in addition to scolding, the two were helpless.
MacArthur wanted to be America**.
At first, Chiang Kai-shek and MacArthur, the two "fraternities of the presidents of top military schools," broke up unhappily. Chiang Kai-shek did not get a promise from the Americans to help him send troops to Korea, did the Americans get the answer they wanted from the old Chiang. The crushing defeat on the Korean battlefield made MacArthur "End the war before Christmas" was shattered
In fact, long before the Battle of Changjin Lake broke out, Chiang Kai-shek had plotted to participate in the Korean War. The defeat in this war turned MacArthur from arrogance to anger, and he began to rush to the hospital in a hurry, constantly calling on the United States to "want".Use of atomic bombs"to fight the volunteer troops. At the same time, it is necessary to expand the scale of the war, blockade China's coastline, and send aircraft to bomb military targets in China. But MacArthur didn't know it yet, he still had the heart to ** the Volunteer Army, but unfortunately Truman didn't give him a chance, in Ridgway's original words: ".Sooner or later, MacArthur's stupid tactics would have buried the American military on the Korean Peninsula. ”
After Chiang Kai-shek's trick was shattered for the second time, he was very unwilling, and later mentioned it to Truman twice: asking ** to enter the war in Korea. However, Truman probably saw through Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts, or Truman had his own plans, and Truman was not stupid enough to make wedding dresses for others, so Truman never approved Chiang Kai-shek's request to send troops. Therefore,Chiang Kai-shek's opinion of Truman was particularly large, not hesitating to verbally attack.
For example, Chiang Kai-shek once said publicly: ".If the office in Washington were in the hands of Douglas MacArthur, everything would be easy. ”Soon, because of his arrogance, MacArthur was publicly dismissed from his post by the United States, and he ended up "unhappy".
Then, it turned out to replace hisCommander-in-Chief of the U.S. Eighth Army, RidgwayHe quickly landed in Tokyo, replaced MacArthur's position, and became the new joint commander-in-chief. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but start micro-manipulation again, giving full play to the traditional "-stirring stick" talent, how did he knock on the side and drag the US army back?
Chiang Kai-shek sent people to Korea to shout.
MacArthur was defeated repeatedly in the Korean War against Mr. Peng, and was almost driven into the sea by the volunteers, and his previous boasting of Haikou became a laughing stock. The arrogant MacArthur did not expect that he would be one step ahead and even more defeated than Chiang Kai-shek. In January 1951, the U.S. military launched a fierce attack on the positions of the volunteers on the south bank of the Han River. In order to cover the safe retreat of the fraternal troops,Zeng Zesheng, commander of the 50th ArmyHe was ordered to guard the south bank of the Han River.
The 50th Army was a Kuomintang uprising force, and before that they were the 60th Army of the Kuomintang, and all the fighters wereThe elite of the Dian army。In the face of such a defensive iron army, the US military is also poor in donkey skills. At a critical time, Chiang Kai-shek ordered someone to send a letter, and he really didn't dare to compliment it, and it was broadcast in a loop in front of the position of the Volunteer Army: Brothers of the 60th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, President Chiang greets you. As long as you let go, everyone will be promoted on the spot. Do you want to eat from your hometown?Cross-bridge rice noodles, bait shreds, Xuanwei ham
As a result, Chiang Kai-shek's letter made the officers and men of the Volunteer Army, who had been ruined by the old Chiang Keng's family before, suddenly feel the same hatred for the enemy. It's good that President Jiang's letter won't be broadcast, but once it is broadcast, the U.S. military won't be able to cross the Han River. In the end, the 50th Army was like a nail nailed to the south bank of the Han River, and under the condition that the equipment and numbers were absolutely inferior, it blocked the joint ** for 22 days and createdThe "myth of defensive warfare" in the military history of our army.
If Chiang Kai-shek had really succeeded in sending troops to Korea, it would not be difficult for us to imagine that they would continue to carry forward the spirit of "transport captain" and provide more American weapons and equipment for the volunteers, based on the history of the previous battles between the People's Liberation Army and the Nationalist Army. Chiang Kai-shek, the "captain of the transport brigade" at that time, did not know that he had avoided complete annihilation because of the Korean War. Because as early as 1950 at the 7th Third Central Committee,It was decided that Su Yu would be in charge, and planned to launch a liberation campaign in the second half of 1950. And the sudden dispatch of the US military disrupted the original plan.
But the only thing that could make Chiang Kai-shek happy was that he later heard that Truman was going to send the Seventh Fleet to him as a **, and the old Chiang was like grasping a life-saving straw. At that time, foreign media reported: ".When the Korean War broke out, Chiang Kai-shek unexpectedly received an insurance policy from the United States."。That's a fitting assessment.
