The Korean Civil War broke out. Because of the weapons assistance from the Soviet Union, the North Korean people's army was so powerful that it drove the South Korean army away like autumn leaves. The front line was pushed to Busan . It didn't take long. , North Korea will be able to take over the entire Korean Peninsula in one fell swoop.
However, what North Korea did not expect was that the United States blatantly assembled the armies of more than a dozen countries to form the " United Nations Forces ", which directly landed on the Korean Peninsula from Incheon , determined to help South Korea fight and unify North Korea. , so under the leadership of the U.S. military, which is second to none in terms of military strength, the situation of the North Korean People's Army suddenly changed dramatically, and it was defeated by the United Nations forces.
However, the arrogant and domineering US military not only sets its sights on North Korea, it also tries to provoke trouble on our border, endangering our country's sovereignty and the lives of our people. Such provocative behavior cannot be allowed to go unchecked, so our country resolutely dispatched The volunteer army went to North Korea to start the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea.
Korean Civil War
The volunteers entered the Korean battlefield for the first time. The opponent they fought was the South Korean army. As the first battle of to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea , our volunteers annihilated a total of 15,000 enemy troops and successfully won their first victory. It also laid great confidence for the subsequent volunteer army operations.
So how did this battle happen? How did the Volunteer Army achieve the final victory? Next, let me lead you into the first battle of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea - the Battle of Onjing. If you are interested in this type of video, you may wish to follow and add it to your favorites, so that you can review past content and watch exciting content for the first time.
With one order, the United States persuaded more than a dozen countries to send troops to intervene in the Korean War. It was determined to win. This was indeed the case in the early wars. The military strength of the United States was limited. Recognized by the world, it is well-equipped and powerful, and has a large amount of supplies. As soon as it joins the battlefield, it instantly saves the absolute disadvantage of the South Korean army and greatly weakens the effective strength of the North Korean army.
United Nations Army
Because the war went so smoothly, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations Army, MacArthur , arrogantly declared that "the war will be won before Thanksgiving." But in reality, everything is never really smooth sailing, and the development and direction of things cannot be controlled by a few people.
The US military tasted the sweetness on the Korean battlefield and became unscrupulous. It pushed the North Korean army back to the Yalu River . It also invaded our country's airspace many times, harming the lives of people on our border, and turned a deaf ear to our country's condemnation and warnings. At that time, North Korea found it difficult to defend itself against the enemy and asked China for help.
Whether it is to maintain the centuries-old friendship between China and North Korea, to nip the aggressive intentions of Western countries in the cradle, or to protect the security of our territory and people, must join the Korean battlefield and immediately fight against the United States and aid Korea.
Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea
At that time, the central government decided to dispatch the Fourth Field Army of the Northeast Military Region, which was close to North Korea, to fight in North Korea. The name given to the army at that time was also university-based. In order to achieve its aggressive intentions, the U.S. Army set the name of the army to "United Nations Army". Under the banner of United Nations .
In this case, the Central Committee of our country changed the original "Northeast Frontier Defense Force" to "Volunteer Army", which is an army that volunteers to participate in the battle. This means that this war was not mobilized by the Central Committee of our country, but ordinary soldiers looking at their neighbors. A team that was "bullied" on its own initiative and voluntarily organized.
However, MacArthur did not take the Chinese Volunteer Army seriously at that time. This is also inevitable. After all, New China has just been established and everything in the country is still in the preliminary stage of development. In comparison, the United States has experienced a decline in comprehensive national strength since World War II It has always been at the forefront of the world, especially in the military field, and has successfully developed nuclear weapons .
Nuclear weapons
But it happened that the volunteers, who had no deterrent in the eyes of the US military, turned all the lofty ideals they had released into bubbles. About 250,000 volunteers began to advance toward North Korea quietly at night on the night of October 19, 1950. They quietly crossed the Yalu River under the nose of the US military.
Combat Command - Dayumdong
It was on this day that the United Nations forces led by the United States occupied the Pyongyang area. MacArthur felt that the North Korean People's Army could no longer organize a large-scale counterattack, so he began to plan to attack the Pyongyang area. The North continued to march, and controlled the border between China and North Korea as quickly as possible, so he ordered the army to set off north by car in regiment or battalion units.
Our Chinese Volunteer Army is commanded by Mr. Peng. He originally planned to build a defense mechanism in northern North Korea to prevent the plans of the US-South Korean coalition forces. However, the enemy troops arrived by car, while the Volunteer Army could only walk on their legs. Both sides The speed gap is too large, and our army loses the opportunity to arrive at the defense area in advance and deploy before combat.
Peng Dehuai
Boss Peng immediately changed the battle plan. At this time, the enemy army had not discovered that our army had entered North Korea and separated its own troops. He decided to take advantage of this weakness of the US military and signaled that the various companies of the volunteer army could disperse during the march. The enemy troops were annihilated.
At the same time, Kim Il-sung, the leader of North Korea who occupied Pyongyang, fled all the way to Dayu Cave. As the name suggests, Dayu Cave is indeed a cave, or a mine located in the deep mountains and old forests. This mine The cave was also used by Kim Il Sung as a command post on the Korean battlefield.
Although Kim Il-sung was forced to leave the capital and hide in a mine, and is currently in a very depressed state, the Chinese army, tempered by more than ten years of war, has arrived in North Korea and is about to fight in coordination with the North Korean army. One day, a jeep suddenly arrived at the gate of Dayu Cave. Sitting in the car was the Chinese reinforcements that Kim Il Sung "thought about day and night": Mr. Peng, the commander of the Volunteer Army.
After Kim Il Sung
, many generals and chiefs of staff of the 118th Division and 13th Corps of the Volunteer Army arrived at Dayu Cave one after another to discuss the battle plan. Kim Il Sung looked at the panic in the hearts of many soldiers of our army and was relieved. When Mr. Peng When asked about the recent situation on the Korean battlefield, Kim Il Sung did not know.
After all, the U.S.-South Korean coalition forces have captured Pyongyang. It is understandable that Kim Il-sung is eager to escape. Mr. Peng feels that the situation at this time is too serious. The Korean People's Army is fighting and losing, and there is little confidence left in winning. , now even the leaders have fled, which is a major blow to them.
If the Allied forces have no confidence in the war, the volunteers will be in a difficult situation on the battlefield. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to win a victory on the line and regain confidence in fighting the enemy. At the same time, the South Korean army entered Pyongyang with the help of the US military. In order to show its strength, South Korea took the initiative to apply to the United States to continue moving north, which is bound to split the North Korean army into its belly.
The South Korean army
The South Korean army invited troops to march north
The US military was naturally very happy with the South Korean army's initiative to request troops. It did not have to consume the firepower and manpower of its own army. It only had to watch South Korea rush to the front line of the war and exhaust the artillery fire of the North Korean army. , which is a dream for the US military.
The 6th Division of the South Korean Army was in charge of the northward attack. This unit had exerted extra effort when it invaded North Korea before. They thought they had been recognized by the US military. This time, the 6th Division of the South Korean Army did not show any signs of imminent war in the northward attack. They seemed to have decided that the North Korean army had no room for resistance.
Along the way, South Korea indeed found no trace of the North Korean army. This discovery made them feel that the reunification of the Korean Peninsula was just around the corner, and they were already immersed in fantasy. But the condition that made them feel that it was just around the corner was that the volunteers did not participate in the war.
Crossing the Yalu River
At that time, even the U.S. military did not notice that the volunteers had entered North Korea, let alone the South Korean army, which was even less informed. The main force of the Korean 6th Division pressed its troops to Xichuan, and the 8th Division arrived at Ningyuan , the 1st Division went to Gunyu-ri. At that time, the main force of our country's combat plan arrived south of Heecheon as quickly as possible and clashed with the Korean 6th Division.
However, the Volunteer Army was too far away from the scheduled combat location at that time, and the previously deployed combat plan had no chance to be realized. The great man issued the latest instructions at home, allowing the Volunteer Army 39th Army and 0 Army to temporarily avoid the Korean Army's edge, and in Onjeong and Hee. They laid ambush in Sichuan, Turtle City and other places first, allowing the enemy troops to enter the encirclement deployed in advance, and finally wiped out the enemy in one fell swoop.
0 Army to temporarily avoid the Korean Army's edge, and in Onjeong and Hee. They laid ambush in Sichuan, Turtle City and other places first, allowing the enemy troops to enter the encirclement deployed in advance, and finally wiped out the enemy in one fell swoop. As a result, the Korean army did not pay too much. After Heecheon started attacking, they easily occupied Onjeong in one day. Onjeong is a valley with Unsan and Yongbyon to the south and Gujang to the north. . The ancient field is less than 80 kilometers away from the Yalu River on the border. If the Korean army successfully captures this place, it will directly affect the important transportation lines of the Volunteer Army. Boss Peng also discovered this traffic when he was conducting a combat meeting in Dayu Cave. thoroughfare.
Topographic map
So he sent the 118th Division of the 40th Army of the Volunteer Army to Wenjing, and emphasized the importance of Wenjing, requiring the soldiers to capture Wenjing. The commander of the 118th Division was Deng Yue, who was awarded the title of founding major general after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The title is also a veteran who has experienced countless battles.
Although this is the first confrontation with the legendary US military, the division commander has no fear at all. As long as he receives a task ordered by the organization, he will do his best and find every way to handle it no matter how difficult it is. Before the official launch of the battle, Mr. Peng and many generals including Deng Yue jointly analyzed the enemy's psychology. They always believed that if the Korean army easily occupied Wenjing, their confidence would be greatly increased and they would take advantage of the situation to attack north.
Therefore, Deng Yue, who had rich combat experience, did not directly lead his troops to attack Wenjing. Instead, he decided to choose an area where the Korean army would pass through on their way north to ambush. This way, not only could we choose an area that was beneficial to us and easy to defend but difficult to attack, but also You can keep the initiative firmly in your own hands.
Major General Deng Yue
Ambush Battle
After understanding and discussing the nearby terrain, Deng Yue set the location of the ambush in the section from Beizhen northwest of Wenjing to Highland 216. There is not only a relatively spacious road here , suitable for the blatant march of the Korean army. In addition, there are mountains on both sides of the road, making it an excellent ambush location.
Seeing this, do you, the audience, agree with Mr. Deng Yue’s decision? If you agree, you can type "Chinese Volunteer Army soldiers will live forever!" in the comment area.
Now that the target location has been decided, Deng Yue immediately began to lay out the strategic plan. He ordered the soldiers of the 354th Regiment to ambush near the highway and be ready to occupy the 216 Highlands at any time. In preparation, the 353rd Regiment is on standby near Liangshuidong, and the remaining 352nd Regiment serves as a reserve force in Beizhen, preparing for support.
Volunteers in an ambush
Next, they stationed themselves in various places according to the deployment, waiting for the enemy troops to come to their door. October 25, 1950, this should have been an ordinary day, but it became an extraordinary day in the history of the Chinese nation.
This morning, the Korean army did not give up the idea of continuing to march north. Even though Wenjing was successfully captured, they immediately dispatched the Second Infantry Regiment of the Korean 6th Division to continue marching northwest to attack Beizhen. The 7th Infantry Regiment set out from Guchang to the north.
But what the Korean army of the 2nd Regiment of the 6th Division did not expect was that they were about to walk into a trap set by the volunteer army. They set out in the morning, but their behavior along the way did not look like they were going to fight, but rather going for an outing. After all, they had not suffered a violent counterattack for a long time and believed that there was no threat around them.
The marching volunteers
They formed an extremely arrogant formation during the march. The ones leading the way were medium-sized trucks carrying howitzers , while the infantry followed behind the artillery. There were only a few cars behind them, and there were no big guns. The troops followed. The appearance of such a formation meant that the enemy troops really did not notice anything unusual around them. Deng Yue's anxious heart was completely put back in his stomach.
Although the enemy's weapons and equipment are relatively advanced, including howitzers, cars, and American rifles, the enemy's troops were noisy and undisciplined as they marched. Moreover, the current situation is that our troops are strong and we still have the initiative. . So the soldiers who were a little nervous before calmed down.
Because this was the first battle, Deng Yue carefully waited until all the enemy's artillery and infantry entered the encirclement, and then gave an order for the soldiers to fire. The soldiers of the 118th Division aimed at the last car of the enemy team and fired a shot. The artillery shells directly destroyed it, and the first confrontation on the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea officially began.
Hand-to-hand combat
The Korean army was stunned when they were suddenly attacked. Before they had time to react, the vehicles in front and behind the team were bombarded by artillery fire from our army. Because our army was still in an ambush at the time, the Korean army only thought that It was the remnants of the North Korean army that began to get out of the car and planned to wipe out the "North Korean army".
However, the North Korean army they thought was not only much larger in number than them, but also had a different combat style from the previous North Korean army. However, our army's military supplies in the early days of the Korean battlefield were very limited. The initial artillery fire was only with Come and blow up the enemy's cars, leaving the Korean army with no way out.
When the battle really started, the soldiers still had to engage in hand-to-hand combat. So when the Korean army finally reacted and prepared to counterattack, the soldiers of the 118th Division had already rushed in front of them, and the two sides launched a fierce hand-to-hand combat. Most of the volunteer soldiers had participated in the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, our army's military supplies were relatively scarce, so fighting with the enemy was almost all hand-to-hand combat with various tactics. It can be said that hand-to-hand combat is the area in which our soldiers are good at .
; United Nations Army
But on the other hand, when the United Nations Army entered North Korea to fight, it was already suppressed and beaten by the Korean People's Army. Even if the South Korean Army later received equipment assistance from the United States, it was only limited to comprehensive combat strength. Upgrading and discarding sophisticated weapons actually doesn't improve much in combat effectiveness.
But the Korean army of the 2nd Regiment of the 6th Division is the main force of the South Korean army, and it is also the sharp knife company . Although he was a little stunned at first, he still adjusted his status as quickly as possible. Moreover, they also have an artillery squadron, which It is somewhat difficult for our soldiers.
When the battle ended in the afternoon, the volunteers who stayed at the station noticed that the soldiers fighting on the front line seemed to be a little exhausted, so they quickly sent two battalions to the battlefield for reinforcements. At this time, the Second Regiment of the Korean Army also learned about the three soldiers. The battalion encountered an ambush and immediately ordered the second battalion to go to the rescue.
Mountains
Although our 354th regiment, which originally fought on the roadside, was slightly inferior in equipment, it still relied on the terrain of the nearby mountains to fight the enemy to the end. The troops sent to rescue by both sides met in the middle. , and the battle started immediately. Needless to say, the result of this battle ended with the victory of the 2nd Battalion of the 354th Regiment.
After several hours of tenacious fighting, our soldiers finally successfully wiped out the enemy. According to statistics, more than 320 enemy soldiers were killed and 160 enemy soldiers were captured in this battle. In addition, 38 vehicles were seized. Cars and a dozen artillery . This battle not only allowed the soldiers to understand the true strength of the South Korean army, but also replenished combat supplies, which can be described as a "good start." The main force of South Korea decided to call all the scattered troops back to Onjeong and implement a strategic retreat first.
Night attack on the enemy troops in Onjeong
After learning that all three battalions of Korean troops had been killed in the hands of volunteers, the main force of the Korean troops stationed in Onjeong were not too afraid, thinking that they had just made an accidental mistake. Night was slowly approaching, and the South Korean troops had already Entered dreamland. But our soldiers were waiting for the opportunity not far from Wenjing.
Battle to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea
The commander of the 40th Army, Wen Yucheng, decided not to stop doing anything. Since today's confrontation has already happened, the enemy must not have time to defend yet, and night fighting is the specialty of the Volunteer Army, and it can also "free" for the Korean Army. A vivid military theory course.
Wen Yucheng looked at the map and thought for a long time. He ordered the 118th Division as the main force to attack Wenjing. In order to avoid enemy reinforcements, he sent two regiments of the 120th Division to guard the enemy's tracks in the directions of Yunshan and Xichuan, and ordered another regiment. As a preparation, he was responsible for intercepting enemy troops escaping from Onjing.
Under the natural cover of the moonlight, each unit marched quietly to the pre-deployed position, waiting for an order to attack Wenjing. Just after midnight, with the sound of a small trumpet, the volunteer soldiers marched toward the same The target attacks.
Volunteer Army Buglers
The sudden and violent attack caught the South Korean army off guard. How could they, who have always been arrogant, have ever seen such a scene? Looking at the volunteers coming from all directions, their thoughts were not to take up arms to fight back, but only to The only thought left was to run away.
Only two hours later, the volunteers successfully captured Wenjing. According to the statistical report of the Korean army, our army suffered huge casualties in this battle. The South Korean army suffered huge casualties. There was no longer a complete company-level unit, and almost all destroyed.
However, as soon as the subsequent data came out, the United States was even more angry and cursed. The 2nd regiment of the Korean Army in Onjeong originally had more than 3,100 people, but as many as 2,700 people fled all the way to the rear. Such data is almost certain. The Korean army did not fight back, and almost fled in all directions.
United Nations Army
Of course, although Commander Wen Yucheng had previously deployed a regiment of troops to intercept enemy deserters, the situation on the battlefield was always changing. When the South Korean army encountered an attack, it never thought of counterattacking our army, but focused on Naturally, our army was somewhat helpless in escaping.
What makes the US angry is that in order to escape, the Korean soldiers also left the US military advisers supporting the Korean army with the volunteers. This behavior of crossing the river and burning the bridge naturally made the US military very unhappy. Of course, the impact of this battle goes far beyond that. At that time, in addition to the 2nd Regiment of the Korean 6th Division, there was also a 7th Regiment that was already heading north to the ancient field. However, part of the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment were annihilated by our army, and most of them were annihilated by our army. Escape, Wenjing will naturally be captured by our army.
The subsequent impact of the Onjing Battle
In this way, the 7th Regiment's retreat was blocked by our army, and it was in the middle surrounded by a large number of main volunteers. However, they themselves did not know it yet, and they were still immersed in the thought of advancing into the Yalu River. In their fantasy, and the others occupied Chushan Town near the Yalu River.
Yalu River
When they returned to the army station with confidence, they were informed of the bad news that the volunteers had surrounded the center, so they quickly gathered their troops and prepared to retreat. In order to cover their escape, the US army sent aircraft to drop them on of gasoline and military supplies.
Later, in order to avoid the sharp edge of our army, they evacuated southward along the road through a trail. However, things are unpredictable. Not long after they set off, they happened to encounter our army's sniper position. At the beginning, the Korean 7th Regiment also Trying to tear a hole in our army's position under the cover of US military aircraft.
However, our army's defensive position was not a display. We immediately summoned a large number of soldiers to the battlefield to snipe the enemy. Under the fierce artillery attack, the regiment naturally could not hold out for too long, and the enemy's support failed to arrive in time. In the end, The enemy army with more than 4,400 people was completely annihilated by our army.
Yalu River Bridge
After the great man learned of the victory in the Wenjing Battle, he immediately congratulated the Chinese volunteer soldiers and repeatedly emphasized that they must not be complacent because of a victory, as subsequent battles will only be more difficult. Although the series of battles that took place near Onjeong were not very large in scale, they not only dealt a severe blow to the US-South Korean coalition forces, but also allowed the volunteer soldiers who did not understand the enemy's strength and the Korean People's Army, which was beaten to retreat, to reshape their operations. confidence.
The Volunteer Army became famous with the Battle of Wenjing. Since then, the nightmare that the US military has been avoiding has begun in Wenjing. This battle has been going on for decades. Although it is history, it also needs contemporary youth to take the initiative to understand and understand. Keep in mind that any country that chooses to confront China and harm the interests of China and its people must think carefully about whether it can withstand a thunderous blow from angry Chinese soldiers.
