Korean War broke out, the United States suddenly intervened, and North Korean leader Kim Il-sung When he requested the Soviet Union to send troops without success, China became the last straw.
New China had just been established. The smoke of internal and external wars that have lasted for more than 100 years and have caused trouble to the people have not yet dissipated. The national economy needs to be restored and built urgently, especially sending troops to North Korea directly means that the plan to liberate Taiwan will be shelved. But the Chinese government resolutely accepted North Korea's request for troops.
Overnight, a shocking slogan spread across thousands of mountains and valleys at a speed similar to light: " Resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea , defend the country."
Now it seems that resisting U.S. aggression and aid Korea is undoubtedly the most correct decision made by the Party Central Committee, but someone raised objections at that time, including Lin Biao. At that time, he proposed five reasons:
- The trauma of long-term war in China has not been cured.
- Land reform in the new liberated areas, which accounts for 2/3 of the country's population and land area, has not yet begun.
- The bandits and spies in China have not been completely eliminated.
- The People's Liberation Army's weapons and equipment are backward and their training is insufficient.
- Some military and civilians are war-weary.
In short, everything is not prepared enough, so it is advocated not to send troops for the time being.
Lin Biao's proposal was endorsed by many people at that time.
Another opinion is to actively advocate sending troops.
While the US military invaded North Korea, it also drove the fleet to the Taiwan waters, which was a naked invasion.
What's more, the Soviet Union occupied my country's ports such as Lushun and Dalian at that time. It was said that it was borrowing, but in fact it just didn't want to pay it back.
We went to resist the U.S. aggression and aid Korea to fight the war due to many factors. First, we were to show the ambition of the Chinese, and second, to safeguard the country's sovereignty and integrity, to clear the Soviets first, and then resolve the Taiwan issue. The Korean War was the starting point of everything. After full discussion, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee resolutely made the decision to form the Chinese People's Volunteer Army to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. After the decision to make
was made, on October 6, Zhou Enlai presided over a meeting of senior cadres of the Party, Government and Military to discuss the specific issues of the volunteer army's action war.
Why is Lin Biao unwilling to be in charge?
Because the opponent is an invincible US military in the European battlefield.
Chairman Mao took the lead in thinking of Su Yu , which is known as the ever-winning general. However, General Su Yu wanted to go, but his health was no longer good and could not withstand the toss and troubles.
The next candidate is Lin Biao, who showed his courage in the War of Liberation, but Lin Biao was very happy and refused at that time.
The duty of a soldier is to fight bravely to the enemy.
How important the matter of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea was for China at that time. Everyone should be the first of all the senior commanders. However, when Chairman Mao proposed to let Lin Biao command the battle, he put forward the above five points and said that he was neurasthenia, so he went to the Soviet Union with Zhou Enlai for negotiations on the grounds of recuperation, and then stayed in the Soviet Union for a while.
The next candidate is Peng Dehuai . To Mao Zedong's surprise, Peng Dehuai did not refuse and took on this difficult task readily.
On October 19, 1950, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, with Peng Dehuai as the commander and political commissar, had its commander and political commissar, and its 1, 2 and 8th Artillery Divisions under the 13th Corps and its border artillery divisions. They crossed the Yalu River and secretly headed to the North Korean front.
Volunteer Army fought side by side with the Korean People's Army, launched five large-scale battles in a row, and won all five battles. By June 1951, all the territory in northern North Korea had been recovered.
Beginning
On June 25, 1950, the Korean civil war broke out.
The United States misunderstood that this civil war was aggression by North Korea against South Korea, and also manipulated UN Security Council passed a resolution to interfere in the Korean War on the 27th in the absence of the Soviet Union.
On the same day, the US President Truman ordered the navy and air force to directly intervene in the Korean War, and ordered the Seventh Fleet to enter the Taiwan Strait of China, turning the Korean Civil War into a world war.
In the early days of the war, the military forces of North Korea and South Korea were in a one-sided state. The Korean People's Army had 10 divisions and 137,000 people, including 6th Division commander Fang Hushan , 2nd Division commander Choi Hyun and other famous generals; while the Korean National Army had only 9 divisions and 98,000 people. In such a situation, many people thought that North Korea's victory seemed to be just around the corner.
However, all of this happened on September 15th, and there were major changes.
This day, the sun was dazzling, and the US military landed in in Incheon.
The US military had more than 260 warships, more than 500 fighter jets, and more than 70,000 cooperative combat infantry landed in Incheon at that time.
This time login is a bit like Normandy login , it is a surprise weapon, exceeding everyone's expectations.
Incheon This geographical location is equivalent to the center of the Korean Peninsula. Once the US military lands here, it can be said that it is a good move and directly "slayed" the Korean People's Army, causing the People's Army to be cut in half in an instant, and they cannot take care of each other's hands.
What's more, the main force of the Korean People's Army is at the end of its strength when fighting against the South Korean army, and the US military is well-equipped and with its strong air combat capabilities as a cover, the Korean People's Army is no opponent.
Just two weeks later, the Korean People's Army was defeated under double attacks, and Seoul has fallen into the hands of the US military.
Then on October 2, the US military actually crossed the 38th line, and the North Korean capital Pyongyang was also captured, and the war had already burned to the Yalu River on the Chinese border.
The unrighteous Soviet
On September 30, 1950, the situation in North Korea was critical, and the North Korean Party and government requested the Soviet Union to dispatch military assistance.
The Soviet side did not agree, but called Mao Zedong on October 1, suggesting that China "as a volunteer" and "at least five or six divisions should be quickly promoted to 38th line ".
On October 4 and 5, after difficult discussions and decisions, the leaders of the CPC Central Committee made the decision to resist the United States and aid Korea and defend the country. On October 10, Zhou Enlai and Lin Biao were sent to the Soviet leader to ask the Soviet Union to send air force to provide air cover for the volunteer army's fight against the U.S. aid Korea and provide weapons and equipment.
The Soviet side agreed to provide weapons and equipment, but provided cover for the previously promised dispatch of the Air Force, and said that it was not ready and that the Air Force could not be dispatched within two to two and a half months.
On October 13, after repeated research and discussion, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee decided that even if the Soviet Union did not use the air force to cover it, we would go on and fight. Even if we suffered losses, we would still send volunteer troops to fight in North Korea.
The Soviet side replied again, using loans to provide military equipment to China, and the Soviet Air Force helped China air defense, and did not consider entering North Korea in two to two and a half months later.
Cowards and rogues
In fact, the Soviet Union originally expressed its support for North Korea, and the Soviet Union paid for equipment, but later it became a half-price and full-price loan.
What the Soviet Union said was "all the remaining things that China no longer uses." In fact, the annual supply required was much greater than China's historical average annual output, which was a task that China could not complete at that time.
The Soviet Union also stipulated that China had to use rubber to repay economic loans, but China could not produce so much at that time. It could only import it from other countries at high prices before handing over it to the Soviet Union.
But once the war begins, just like the Russian-Ukrainian conflict today, it is certain that the whole world will impose sanctions on Russia, and China will also be sanctioned by other countries. It is not so easy to sign a transfer of export agreement.
But the Soviet Union said directly that if rubber cannot be provided on time and in quantity, we have to reduce China's truck orders.
Isn’t this a forceful person?
From these things, we can see that the Soviet Union is a refined self-interest.
These inequality and unreasonable, coupled with various historical factors, and their arrogant debt-compulsing efforts have also caused us Chinese to react strongly to him.
As Deng Xiaoping recalled during his talks with the Soviet leader Gorbachev in May 1989: "In the Korean War, China issued a volunteer army and directly competed with the United States. The arms supplied by the Soviet Union were still paid half the price. Later, China was in bad relations and China faced economic difficulties, but no matter how difficult it was, it had to pay back the arms debt. We paid it back two years in advance."
Two opinions of the Soviet Union
After the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made the decision to send troops to aid Korea, that is, after receiving a telegram from Stalin , on October 8, Mao Zedong sent Zhou Enlai and Lin Biao to secretly visit the Soviet Union.
According to some recollection materials, Zhou Enlai held talks with Stalin with two opinions: sending troops and not sending troops.
Zhou Enlai emphasized the difficulties of China in sending troops, intending to obtain the Soviet Union's dispatch of air forces to support the Volunteer Army's operations and provide weapons and equipment assistance.
gave Stalin the impression that China was not ready to send troops.
Stalin once promised that the Soviet Union would do his best to provide air cover for the volunteers.
However, when Stalin met with Zhou Enlai, he said that their air force was not ready and could not be dispatched for two to two and a half months.
Zhou Enlai later said when talking about the talks: The US army "approached the Yalu River, so we made up our minds to discuss with Stalin.
Two opinions: either send troops or not, which is what Stalin said.
We asked: Can we help the Air Force?
He was shaken and said that since China is in difficulty, it is okay to not send troops. He said that North Korea is thrown away, we are still socialist, and China is still there.
After the talks, on the 11th, Stalin and Zhou Enlai jointly called Mao Zedong to explain the situation of the talks.
What the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China did not expect was that the Soviet Union refused to fulfill its promises, for two months The air force cannot be dispatched to provide air cover for the Chinese People's Volunteer Army for two and a half months.
This means that after the Chinese People's Volunteer Army enters the Korean battlefield, it will fight without air cover and support at all.
set off urgently
On October 8, 1950, Mao Zedong issued an order to change the Northeast Frontier Defense Force into the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, and immediately dispatched to North Korea. The Volunteer Army's 13th Corps and its affiliated 38th Army, 39th Army, 0 Army , 42nd Army, 1st, 2nd Division, and 8th Division of the Artillery Division, and appointed Peng Dehuai as the commander and political commissar of the Volunteer Army.
Commander of the 13th Corps Deng Hua and Deputy Commander Hong Xuezhi were appointed as deputy commanders of the Volunteer Army. 11 days after the
Order was issued, the Volunteer Army secretly entered North Korea on a stormy night and began the great war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea.
Today, looking back at the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, you might as well start from this moment - On the evening of October 19, 1950, the cold wind mixed with drizzle in Andong (now Dandong, Liaoning).
Peng Dehuai shook hands and said goodbye to those who came to see him off on the Yalu River.
At that time, the driver stepped on the accelerator, and Peng Dehuai also jumped into the car, shouting "Drive" like a general charging into the battle!
The car rushed up instantly Yalu River Bridge .
was also accompanied by this roar. The Chinese People's Volunteer Army secretly entered North Korea that night.
In this scene, Peng Dehuai's roar was mixed with his usual anger, which also indicates that the new The People's Republic of China is not afraid of the world's most powerful country and fight to the end.
The Chinese Volunteer Army will face the United States, the United States' most powerful country, and the United States' military has also been tempered by World War II , and all branches of the military are becoming complete. What's more, they have the navy, air force and strong industrial production capabilities, and their weapons and equipment are quite well equipped, and their coordinated combat capabilities are not on the same level as the Kuomintang army.
However, our army's strength is far behind the US military on paper.
is probably due to this, and the US military was very arrogant at that time.
Former Deputy Minister of Military History Research Department of the Academy of Military Sciences Major General Qi Dexue told the reporter of " Global People ": "At that time, a battalion in the United States arrived at the Yalu River, not only fired guns and artillery in China, but also peed in the direction of China. Their commander took a plane to congratulate them and took photos with them. The commander of the United Nations Army ' commander-in-chief MacArthur also sent a congratulatory message."
General Thesis
Resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea not only exerted the ambition of the Chinese people, but also one of the reasons was that the United States intervened in China's Taiwan issue.
The US fleet has reached the waters of Taiwan, China, which is a naked act of aggression that violates the norms of international law.
Nowadays, people carefully study historical archives and believe that the Korean War should not have been fought (but this is outside China's control), but the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea must not be fought.
The United States occupied China's Taiwan under the pretext of the Korean civil war. With this, the new China should have started a war against the United States, but because of the lack of naval and air force, it was impossible to fight in the direction of the Taiwan Strait.
At the same time, the United States has burned the war to the gate of China's major industrial bases in Northeast China, which is really too bullying!
If China does not respond in military terms at this time, how can it be reflected that "the Chinese, who account for one-quarter of human beings, stand up from now on"?
History is vast. When you look back on the past today, you naturally have a lot of feelings and admiration.
If it weren’t for the revolutionary ancestors who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood, there would be no peace and prosperity today, nor would there be a new life that will develop day by day.
The Korean War, China caused serious setbacks in the US and South Korea's military, and also told the world that the Dragon of the East has risen in the air and no one can underestimate it.
Strong, I am Greater China! Use your own strength and determination to tell the world that we are the People's Republic of China, not that incompetent and cartilage feudal dynasty.
That semi-feudal and semi-colonial years will never return to this beautiful continent. Only we who are constantly building socialism will always defend this land.
