During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, it was not easy for our comrades in the volunteer army. They fought in extremely cold weather, fought to the death with the US military, and even buried their bones in a foreign land if they were not careful. I really admire and move the martyrs.
In this war, our volunteers often face life-and-death decisions. They are not only responsible for themselves, but also for the lives of our soldiers. In one battle, a division commander in chose to fight alone. Even though the friendly forces had retreated, he insisted on continuing to fight. Unexpectedly, he set a new record.
This volunteer is Wang Yang, the commander of the 116th Division. He shouldered a lot in this choice, but he still persisted. It was precisely because of his efforts that he achieved success on the battlefield.
Mr. Wang’s experience
Wang Yang was born in Hengshan, Shaanxi, and graduated from Shaanxi Northern Public School . After the war broke out, he resolutely joined the army to participate in the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation. He has always performed well and received a lot of praise. He is a Confucian general.
After the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he became a volunteer and went to North Korea to participate in the war. At that time, he served as the division commander of the 116th Division of the 39th Army. He was a knowledge-based instructor who often won by surprise on the battlefield.
He once created a myth. On a battlefield, he made people shout out, saying many things about racial discrimination and white superiority in the United States, which made a black engineer company of the US military at that time so indignant that they finally surrendered collectively. Willing to fight for the United States.
It is really surprising, and since then, the US military has no longer dared to form troops based on skin color, for fear of the appearance of a magical figure like Wang Yang to sow discord.
Commander Wang Yang has always been brave, decisive and resourceful on the battlefield. In the Battle of Yunshan, it was the 116th Division led by him that won the victory as the main attacking team.
After the war, Wang Yang was awarded the rank of senior colonel in 1955 and promoted to the rank of major general in 1964. After that, he devoted his life to the revolutionary cause.
The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
As the first batch of volunteer army division commanders to enter North Korea, Wang Yang has been working hard to annihilate enemy troops on the battlefield.
During the Battle of Yunshan, superiors issued orders for the 116th Division led by Wang Yang to serve as the main force to annihilate the US troops stationed in Caodong.
There was ice and snow everywhere at that time. After finally getting the order, Wang Yang led the team to set off. According to orders from superiors, the 116th Division led by Wang Yang faced the enemy head-on. The 115th Division and the 117th Division cooperated with each other to annihilate the US military in one fell swoop.
At that time, the 116th Division had already arrived at the designated location. It had done concealment work under the cover of night and was just waiting for other troops to arrive and send out combat signals. However, it suddenly received a message to retreat.
It turns out that at that time, the superior leaders of our Volunteer Army were afraid of the strength of three divisions to fight against the US Army. If this battle lasted too long, it would be very detrimental to our Volunteer Army and prone to heavy losses.
At that time, the temperature on the battlefield was as low as tens of degrees below zero. The clothes worn by our volunteers had poor cold resistance and there was a serious shortage of food. A long battle was not conducive to subsequent operations.
Wang Yang quickly contacted his superiors and said that he was now ready to attack. If he retreated at this time, the opportunity would be wasted.
It would be daybreak soon. We originally came here under the cover of night. If we did not retreat in time at dawn, it would be easy for the enemy to discover and annihilate our entire army.
After listening to his report, the leader also had some scruples, but he still told Wang Yang that when the retreat order was issued, the 115th Division and the 117th Division had already retreated as planned. Now only your 116th Division is still in place. If we want to fight this battle The battle can only be decided by your 116th Division.
Should we retreat or continue fighting? This made Wang Yang unable to make an immediate decision at that time. After all, life and death were at stake.
At that time, Wang Yang discussed with others, but time waited for no one. In the end, when everyone was hesitating, Wang Yang made a decisive decision and said that we must fight. We have reached this point. If we don't fight, we are not human.
Immediately, the 116th Division mobilized command and began to fight.Under the fierce attack of the 116th Division, the U.S. military panicked. At that time, some of the U.S. troops stationed in the Caodong area were moving southward, and some began to cross the river to attack in the north.
At this time, the 116th Division's attack completely disrupted their plan, and they were surrounded on all sides, so they could only fight. In the end, the 116th Division set a new record in this lonely battle and won a complete victory.
New record of the collective surrender of the US military
It has been said before that Wang Yang once made a black company of the US military surrender collectively by shouting on the battlefield. It was during this battle. When the U.S. military came to North Korea under the orders of General MacArthur, they were fully prepared. They had enough clothing to keep out the cold and plenty of food reserves, not to mention the gap between weapons and equipment compared with our army.
But conflicts are easy to arise in places with many people, especially Racial discrimination in the United States has always been serious. White people have always been in a strong position against black people. Even if black people have the ability to resist, they dare not take action.
At that time, Company C of the 14th Regiment of the 25th Division of the US Army was a group of black troops, and they were also the most severely oppressed. Many times, white people would deliberately provoke them to vent their emotions.
As people who have always been oppressed, this group of black people have always been aggrieved. When their team was surrounded by the 116th Division, Wang Yang sent someone to shout to them, saying that they would not be treated differently in the Chinese team. As long as they surrendered, their safety would be guaranteed and they would not be treated like the US military. cannon fodder.
At that time, a black company commander came out to surrender, and one after another came out. The Volunteer Army also fulfilled its promise, treated the prisoners preferentially, and asked health workers to bandage the wounds of the injured black soldiers. This made these black soldiers feel respected for the first time. They felt that being prisoners under the hands of Chinese soldiers was better than being in the American army. Soldiers are even better.
After this incident was reported back to the United States, the United States felt humiliated and was afraid that this situation would happen again on the battlefield, so the U.S. military began to mix whites and blacks, and also asked whites not to bully blacks. Although such a decision was made, Racial discrimination in the United States has not yet been eradicated.
Conclusion:
Sometimes persistence is not easy. Many times it requires strong willpower and judgment ability to judge whether it is worth persisting.
During the Battle of Yunshan, it was not easy for Commander Wang Yang to withstand the pressure and command the battle, so that the friendly forces retreated and the battle of the lonely sword came to a perfect conclusion.
This battle made Wang Yang famous in the first battle, and also caused the US military to revise the army establishment regulations, which was really unprecedented. In the end, our army also won the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, which completely defeated the US military and no longer dared to ignore the rise of China.
