This is the most defeated senior US general in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. He not only lost his beloved son, but also lost his black hat ! Van Vritte is not only a war madman, but also created the term " Van Vritte ammunition ". On Korean War , how did Van Vritte make 80 million US dollars in 9 days? Since it is so fierce, why did it still be defeated by Chinese People's Volunteer Army ?
How Van Vritte becomes the Admiral
How Van Vritte becomes the Admiral
You know that in the war, the US army is rich and powerful, and weapons and shells are enough. It is also famous for its favourite bombing. It is a typical "firepower theory" tactic . It uses the sea of fire to deal with the sea of people, invests a huge amount of ammunition at all costs, and intensively bombards and shells on the enemy, causing strong suppression and devastating blows.
In their eyes, as long as there is enough firepower, they can win any war and reduce casualties of their own personnel. Whether it is in the first battle of or in the second battle of , the US military has put enough pressure on its opponents with sufficient firearm equipment.
However, when it comes to the Korean War and Vietnam War , the US military's tactics have been implemented to the end. In the three-year war of resisting U.S. aggressing U.S. aggressing U.S. aggressing Korea, , the total amount of ammunition consumed by the US military was even more than the entire World War II. In the Vietnam War, it was many times more than the Korean War.
Eisenhower
There was a "Van Variett ammunition base" in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, which is also a representative work of the US military's firepower tactics. Its proposal is entirely based on US General Variett. Van Vreet graduated from the famous American West Point Military Academy , and even President Eisenhower , which shows that this military school is full of stars.
Van Vreet is a ruthless man. He is known for his fierce firepower in wars. Even General Patton calls him like a "barbarian" in wars. After the end of World War II, many US generals stepped down, and Van Vreet continued to be tasked by the US military command. With fierce artillery fire, he calmed down the rebels of the Greek , strangled the cause of liberation of the Greek people, and successfully wiped out nearly 100,000 guerrilla troops.
After the outbreak of the Korean War, the Eighth Army stationed in South Korea became the main force, and the commanders of the army must be famous generals of the US military. 1951 Van Vreet became the commander of the US Eighth Army . He was remembered by the world because he was completely squandering shells.
US military shells
Even in World War II, the US military used artillery fire frantically, with limited tactics. After Van Vreet took office, the US military shells were dumped on the positions of the Volunteer Army as if they were not worth money.
Shangganling Battle How tragic
Van Vritte is famous on the Korean battlefield for "constant bombing" . Just a small 983 highland, the US military fired 360,000 shells in 9 days! How did Van Vreet do it well? Can the US Military Command afford him so much?
Van Vreet dared to do this and was completely proud of the tactics of the US military's firepower. He firmly believed that as long as there were enough shells, there would be no enemy that could not be defeated, and there would be no position that could not be captured. So Van Vreet used a war, the number of shells used was five times that of the US military usually fired. This is the famous "Van Vreet Ammunition Volume" . The concept of
also inherits Li Qiwei's "Fire Sea Tactics"
also inherits Li Qiwei's " Fire Sea Tactics ". As the name suggests, it is to carry out a devastating blow to the target, destroy the enemy's strength as much as possible, and minimize our casualties.
In the fifth battle, Van Vritte responded with a tough attitude. Regarding the Volunteer's attack, Van Vritte boldly interspersed the needle and thread of the Volunteer Army and wanted to suppress the Volunteer Army's offensive through powerful firepower.
Van Vreet's tough tactics indeed caught the Volunteer Army off guard, and even shook the stability of the entire Eastern War. Van Vritte's command and operation after brought great resistance to our army.
Van Fleet believes that it is necessary to take the initiative and launch a frontal attack with our volunteer army
He believes that the United Army 's retreat on the Korean battlefield was because it did not give full play to its advantages in equipment, but fell into the trap of the volunteer army, resulting in a very passive battle. Van Fleet believes that it is necessary to take the initiative and launch a frontal attack with our volunteer army
, and finally chose Shangganling as the battlefield.Before provoking the Battle of Shangganling, Van Vritte said arrogantly that it only takes nine days to make the volunteers collapse on the entire line and win the battle. On October 14, 1952, the Battle of Shangganling broke out, which was also the largest battle in the Korean War. Under the command of Van Vritte, the United Nations Army sent nearly 60,000 infantry, nearly 200 tanks and , and countless bombers to continuously bomb our army's positions.
, especially the 597.9 and 537.7 highlands occupied by our army, the US military carried out carpet bombing. On average, 6 shells fell on the Volunteer Army's positions every 1 second. The soldiers of the Volunteer Army's 15th Army were blown up by the US military's artillery shells, and the entire position was filled with gunpowder.
Niu Baocai was desperate and used his life as the price to exchange for a precious three-minute call time. Most of the equipment on the position was destroyed. During the first round of bombing, Niu Baocai, deputy squad leader of the telephone squad, risked his life and climbed out of the trench. All the reserved antennas were blown up, and he still could not contact the 448 Highland.
Under Van Vritte's instruction, the shells fired by the US military landed on almost every piece of land. Niu Baocai refused to do anything, grabbed the broken line with his hands and connected the current with his body. He used his life to exchange for a precious three-minute call time. All the volunteer positions in Shangganling received the news and were well prepared to welcome the United Nations army.
How did the Volunteer Army win
Van Vritte's violent shells, the hills of Shangganling were cut down by two meters, but Van Vritte's ammunition was eventually ineffective. Why is this? What magic weapons do the volunteer soldiers have for victory?
"Tunnel Fortifications"
brings time back to the second battle. During the battle, our soldiers united multiple anti-artillery holes and invented "Tunnel Fortifications" , which inspired Chen Geng, who had just arrived on the Korean battlefield, to promote tunnel combat to the entire army to fight against the US military.
In order to solve the defects of anti-aircraft artillery holes, Chen Geng combined with the trench station and upgraded to tunnel battle , which also has a certain effect on resisting US military artillery shells. It turns out that this is true. In the Battle of Shangganling, Van Vrete sent several times the forces of the volunteer army, and with the cooperation of tanks, to charge towards the positions of Shangganling.
Every moment, soldiers were hit by shells, but new soldiers soon rushed up. was behind in equipment, and the volunteer soldiers blocked the attack of the US military with their fearless spirit. After the cunning Van Vreet retreated to the charge, he started a carpet bombing and took down the 597.9 highland.
But on the evening of October 19, the 15th Army took the initiative to attack, surrounded the US army in the darkness of the night, and rushed to the 597.9 highland. Under the fierce battle between the two sides, the battle lasted for several hours. Relying on sufficient ammunition to continuously counterattack, our army charged more than a dozen times, but it was still unable to conquer.
A few hours before dawn, the US military's artillery shells were still pouring on the Shangganling position. Volunteer soldiers fought to the death. With the tunnels and trenches built in advance, they repeatedly fought for positions with the United Nations army 29 times. repelled more than 900 enemy attacks, with 12,000 casualties, while the US military suffered 26,000 casualties, accounting for as much as 40%, which also shocked the US and US military headquarters.
After all, Van Vreet promised to have a guarantee before the war started that it only took 2 battalions and 5 days, and 200 casualties could take down the Shangganling Heights. However, more than 1.9 million shells were used, and more than 20,000 casualties were killed or killed. He had not been able to advance some of the positions in Shangganling. This directly slaps the arrogant US military in the face. Some American journalists even angrily criticized Van Vreet, wasting money from American taxpayers!
st because of the hard tunnel battle, did VanVritte ammunition fail? In fact, it is not. The magic weapon to win still lies in "people" . The morale of the Volunteer Army was high, the morale of the United Nations was low, and every soldier of the Volunteer Army fought with the idea of dying with the enemy. In order to defend the position, the soldiers were never afraid of bloodshed and sacrificed. Even if they fought to the last person, they had to pull a few people. Therefore, during the entire War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, countless combat heroes emerged in our army. On the other hand, Van Vreet used countless ammunitions, but failed to move forward. The US military, which had been defeated repeatedly, lost confidence in victory! Van Vreet has also become a joke for the US military!
