In the middle of the night on June 25, 1950, North Korea's sudden attack also kept the North Korean people in the dark, and it took a few days later for a radio broadcast to let everyone on the streets know what had happened.
Kim Il Sung spoke.
The gist of it is that our motherland and people are under great threat, we must accomplish the great cause of the reunification of the motherland, and we are forced to wage a war. This is a just battle for the reunification and independence of the Motherland. He also said that Syngman Rhee wanted to make the entire nation a slave of American imperialism.
He called on the guerrillas in the south to destroy the enemy's rear communication facilities, including bridges, railways, etc., and that all the common people in the south should not obey Syngman Rhee....
North Korean Army. This sudden attack by the North Koreans caused Seoul to be quickly breached. Some of the U.S. embassies in South Korea, as well as some women and children, tried to escape by all means.
They boarded a Norwegian fertilizer ship, the Rainforest, which was actually very small, with only 12 cabins to live in. But 682 of these passengers filled the ship.
At this time, on the one hand, the US ambassador to South Korea, Mujo, contacted the US generals in Tokyo and asked them to send transport planes to evacuate the US embassy personnel.
On the other hand, Mucho was also waiting for Syngman Rhee to inform him of the progress of the whole situation, but Syngman Rhee did not tell Mucho that he had ordered the preparation of two trains to evacuate himself and all of ** before dawn that day.
So later, in his memoirs, Mu Qiao sarcastically said: "In the next few months, I can't forget the incident that Syngman Rhee gave me to me, that is, before I left Seoul, he ran away!" ”
There is another interesting thing, at that time, Seoul had been under the army, at that time Li Chengwan was reluctant to withdraw, he felt that there was still hope, so at this time, South Korean Defense Minister Shin Seungmo knocked on the door of Li Chunwan's ** bedroom, which was about two o'clock in the morning on June 27, 1950.
Syngman Rhee. Shin Seung-mo was very anxious, but Syngman Rhee still had the so-called attitude of vowing to defend Seoul to the death. But when an intelligence officer entered the door and handed Rhee a report that North Korean tanks had reached the outskirts of Seoul, Rhee didn't say a word and immediately dressed and left!
So you see, this person's desire to survive is sometimes really visible.
When South Korea was defeated, the United States entered the war. When Colonel Knight received the telegram, four F82 fighters of the US Far East Air Force annihilated three Yak-3 fighters of the DPRK army over Suwon and other places.
Later in the evening, the F82 hit 4 more North Korean aircraft, so that in one day, the US Air Force knocked out the strength of the North Korean Air Force 1 6.
It is said that this is the only and first time that the F82, a fighter in the transitional period, has achieved such air combat results.
On the afternoon of May 27, 1950, a part of the North Korean army broke through to the northeast corner of Seoul, and the inexperienced Ministry of Defense of South Korea was completely panicked and made a very stupid decision.
In fact, it was only a small force of the North Korean army that broke in, and the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th divisions of the main South Korean army, as well as other troops in the capital, were still on the outer defense line of Seoul and were still holding out resistance.
However, the South Korean Ministry of Defense decided to blow up the only way for these troops to retreat: the Han River Bridge, and this foolish bombing not only caused the US military advisory group in South Korea to be "sent" to the North Korean troops, but also almost "sent" the entire South Korean and South Korean troops.
Han Jun. When the sound of the Han River Bridge sounded, the US military advisory group on the north bank of the entire Jianghan River was in a panic, and they rushed to the Han River with a few bullets to frighten some South Korean boatmen, and finally escaped with the help of a few wooden boats.
Until this morning, the South Korean front-line troops who were in the dark were still fighting bloody battles with the North Korean troops outside Seoul, but when the news of the bombing of the Han River Bridge came, the entire defenders immediately lost all their combat effectiveness, and all of them collapsed in an uproar, they threw down their positions, and even their guns and artillery rushed to the Han River side to ......
When the Han River Bridge was blown up, there were still three trains of vehicles and countless refugees on the bridge crowding south together, and there were still countless vehicles and refugees waiting to cross the river on the north side of the bridge, and the whole situation was crowded!
It is said that at least 500 to 800 refugees, vehicles and troops were destroyed, and some desperate refugees even committed suicide by throwing their families into the water.
Almost everyone believes that from the beginning of the bombing of the Han River Bridge, the main force of the South Korean army completely collapsed, although on the one hand, it was under the strong impact of the North Korean army, but on the other hand, the reason was that it cut off the retreat prematurely.
The South Korean army suffered heavy losses.
At this moment, if the Americans do not intervene, then South Korea will surely become history, and it will not be long before the North Korean army liberates more than 90 percent of the land and 92 percent of the population of the entire Korean Peninsula.
In some liberated areas, democratic elections and land reform ...... have even been introduced
However, the South Korean army and the U.S. military were reduced to a narrow area of only 10,000 square kilometers east of the Nakdong River.
Xiao Jin finally thought that victory was in his hands, so he happily said through the radio: August will be the complete liberation of the Korean Peninsula, and all the people of the country will usher in the moment of reunification.
We were the first to move the 13th Corps of Siye, the commander of this corps is Huang Yongsheng, this is the descendant of the first, and he is extremely brave in battle, but he is a fierce general, but he has the attributes of handsome.
Therefore, ** thought he was not suitable, so he proposed to replace Deng Hua, the commander of the 15th Corps, who could be both a fierce general and a commander.
Deng Hua. This time, it can be said that there was a change of generals, but the facts proved that this decision was very correct, and in the days when the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, Mr. Peng, returned to China, the Volunteer Army commanded by Deng Hua made Lao Mei really suffer a lot.
Deng Hua immediately led his own members of the 15th Corps Headquarters to form the headquarters of the 13th Corps, but Hong Xuezhi, the deputy commander and chief of staff of the Corps, was forcibly left behind, but finally came.
Commander Deng Hua's 13th Corps has three armies, the 38th, 39th and 40th armies, which are the three super ace armies of the entire People's Liberation Army, and they are all the most elite troops in the four fields. After that, the 42nd Army was also assigned to the 13th Corps.
At that time, this super corps was stationed in Henan, and because the mainland had been liberated at that time, these main forces like the 38th Army and the 39th Army were engaged in large-scale production, so there was a bit of that kind of peaceful scene of swords and guns being put into storage and horses being put in Nanshan.
Many soldiers who have fought for many years are ready to return home, marry wives and have children, and take care of their parents. Although the 42nd Army is in the northeast, it is almost the same, because they are clearing wasteland and farming everywhere in the northeast, so all this is so sudden, they have to pick up their guns again and go to the battlefield.
In fact, when we were still thinking about whether or not to set up the Northeast Frontier Army, our party made a circular to the Soviet Union. Stalin said: I very much agree with the decision of the Chinese comrades to send troops. As long as the Americans cross the 38th parallel, the Soviet Air Force will provide all the air cover for the squadron entering the DPRK.
Stalin. This was the first promise that Stalin made to our party, which showed that we were happy, but then Stalin kept going back on his word.
He was worried that a war with the United States in Korea would lead to a third world war, which was not in the interests of the Soviet Union, but because the situation in Korea was deteriorating, we felt that this war would have to be fought even without the help of the Soviet Union.
