In World War II, the United States and Japan fought fiercely in the Pacific Theater, and although the United States defeated Japan with its own strong military strength, it left a deep impression on Japan's tenacious combat effectiveness. Later, the U.S. military launched a war in Korea, and our volunteers rushed to the Korean battlefield to fight with the U.S. army, and under the premise that the U.S. army's equipment and logistics support were ahead of our army with absolute superiority, our army still drove it back to beyond the 38th parallel, and it can be said that the U.S. army lost completely in this battle.
So, over the years the United States has filmed a lot about"World War II"and films about the Vietnam War, but almost never made a film about the Korean War, because they knew they didn't have any bragging rights against the Volunteers on the Korean battlefield. Even the major of the US military who participated in the Korean War once said this:"The Japanese army seems to be fierce, but the volunteers are the most terrifying"。
The person who made this assessment was Colonel John Martin, commander of the 5117th Regiment of the Second Infantry Division of the U.S. Army, as a senior commander of the U.S. Army, who had fought against the Japanese and the Volunteer Army respectively, and he said that during the Korean War, he finally understood that the Chinese Volunteer Army was really invincible.
According to his recollection, the Chinese volunteers on the battlefield took the enemy army is"Divide and surround and destroy one by one"However, because the U.S. military has strong equipment and strength, the infantry regiment generally attacks during the operation, the air force and long-range artillery cover and support at the same time, and the troops participating in the battle have rich combat experience, while the Chinese Volunteers can only carry out intermittent strikes against the enemy because of the restrictions on logistics and supply, so the combat plan of the Volunteers cannot be victorious. In the face of such a situation, the units of our volunteer army immediately adjusted their strategic deployment and sought fighters in a surprise attack in view of the time difference in the marching speed between the joint ** teams led by the United States.
At that time, the U.S. military landed in North Korea at Inchon and besieged 500,000 North Korean troops in one fell swoop, and the U.S. military wanted to rely on its absolute superiority in force to plan to quickly annihilate the North Korean troops. However, when it approached the area adjacent to our country, our volunteers were very sensitive to the abnormality, and then they planned to cooperate with the US military and withdraw our troops in some areas of the Korean Peninsula. But what the US military does not know is that our army has actually replaced the militia units arranged on the previous positions with elite units with extremely combat effectiveness, and they want to take him by surprise.
In this battle, MacArthur, as a general of the US army, thought in the early days of the war that the Chinese, like Japan, could easily win as long as they relied on the advanced equipment of the United States, and completely applied the experience of the Japanese in the Pacific operation to the Chinese, but in fact this was very wrong.
The Japanese army and our volunteer army can not be compared at all, the Japanese army advocates the concept of crazy suicide, and the United States does not pay attention to tactics and equipment, only need to dare to die and dare to fight the state can be put into the battlefield, but China is for international peace, in order to reflect its own tactical value and go deep into the Korean Peninsula to support North Korea against the United States, although our army in the Korean War in the number of casualties is also very large, but compared with the United States is extremely backward equipment under the pressure of such a result.
In the face of the harsh environment, the lack of supplies, and the powerful enemy, the Chinese Volunteers fought bravely against the US troops, and in the Shangganling area, they were still indomitable in the face of enemy troops several times higher than themselves, and the enemy launched millions of artillery shells and dispatched more than 100 tanks to charge.
Our army still fought to the death with it, and finally defeated the enemy, thus creating a worldwide combat miracle, which is why the colonel of the US Army will evaluate the volunteer army so much, affirm the combat effectiveness of the volunteer army, and our army has become the world-famous king of land warfare.
Now when we look back at the war of that year, our volunteers fought the Korean battlefield, did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives, but also to protect the integrity of the country.
We must understand this period of history and remember the heroic spirit, the light and shadow are silent, the history is sound, looking back at the previous eventful years, all Chinese who yearn for peace can find the patriotic spirit of protecting the homeland in that period of history, and we can only live up to those lost heroes by firmly inheriting the wishes of our ancestors and forging ahead bravely.
