On June 25, 1950, the Korean War officially broke out, and in the early days of the war, the Korean army was defeated and retreated, and in less than two months, the Korean People's Army occupied 90% of the land and 92% of the population of the Korean Peninsula.
This makes the big guy hiding behind South Korea-The United States could not sit still, in order to protect his interests in the Far East, he had to go to war in person. On July 7 of the same year, the UN Security Council, in the absence of the Soviet Union, adopted a resolution on assistance to South Korea, andFive-star General MacArthur was appointed commander of the U.S. Far East Army, and a "joint **" led by the U.S. military was formed to begin armed assistance to South Korea.
In addition to the United States and South Korea, 15 other countries also sent some troops to the war in the composition of the "United **" at that time, including:United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Netherlands, Thailand, Philippines, Greece, Belgium, Colombia, Ethiopia (Eritrea), South Africa, Luxembourg.
On September 15, 950, MacArthur personally led the "United **" landing at Incheon, and in less than 15 days, he helped the Korean army recover all the lost territory and drive the Korean army back to the north of the 38th parallel.
Under a series of victories, the already arrogant "United **" began to become more unpopular, not only ignoring China's warning not to cross the 38th parallelOn 7 October, he crossed the 38th parallel, invaded the north on a large scale, and dispatched thousands of planes in a frenzy to bomb the Dandong region of China indiscriminately, burning the flames of war to the Yalu River.
In order to defend the territorial integrity and security of the country, China finally decided to send troops to the Korean Peninsula to fight against the "coalition".On October 8, 1950, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army began to be formed, and on October 19 of the same year, with *** as the commander-in-chief, the troops began to cross the Yalu River in three ways, opening the prelude to "resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, protecting the family and defending the country".
I have to admit that at that time, in the face of the US army, which had the highest level of modernization after World War II, the Volunteer Army was far behind the US army in terms of mobility, firepower, assault, and logistical supply.
But our volunteer soldiers used their own flesh and blood and courage to fight these invincible joint ** back to the 38th parallel, we did not rely on the so-called crowd tactics, but the volunteer soldiers who did not care about life and death, and were willing to use their lives to open peace for future generations!
The three-year War to Resist US Aggression and Aid KoreaNearly 380,000 volunteers were wounded, and 190,000 soldiers died in foreign lands, but with their lives and blood, they completely shattered the myth that the US military was invincible in the world, completed the record of fighting 17 "halls" in a row with their own strength, and displayed the national prestige of New China.
It is also the first time that the Chinese nation has won a war with foreign powers since the First Opium War, which not only reshaped the national self-confidence of the Chinese nation that had been destroyed for a hundred years! It also ended the era when the Western powers dared to set up their cannons and step into our country!
