This war has become the war that the US military suffered the most, and it is also the most perfect victory for our army. What happened to the Hengcheng counterattack? followers, let’s continue to talk!
Hengcheng Battle
Since 1950, Volunteer Army has come to the North Korean region to fight the war. In the most difficult time, the Volunteer Army fought three consecutive battles, drove the US United Nations army back to the vicinity of the 37th Line, and has been considered a very important victory.
But at the same time, the Volunteer Army also suffered huge casualties. The troops dropped sharply to about 280,000 . At this time, the Volunteer Army was clearly at a disadvantage because the US United Nations forces had three navy, army and air forces. The ground combat troops alone had more than 200,000 people. In addition, the powerful Air Force assistance, the Volunteer Army was a living target for walking, and it might be possible to be destroyed by the regiment .
So in order to give the troops time to rest and replenish, the Volunteer Army Headquarters decided to rest for two months before fighting. But it happened that the US military had replaced its main general. Li Qiwei's new official took office three times and directly gave the volunteers a head-on blow. does not give you any chance to breathe, and launches continuous attacks in a short period of time.
This Li Qiwei has really studied the Volunteer Army and has a lot of ideas about the specific situation of our army. He knows that we have difficulty in replenishing supplies. once a week, so Li Qiwei started to use the war of attrition, fighting and retreating. Finally, while our army is unprepared, he launched an attack on directly, in order to avoid the Volunteer Army having time to rest and adjust, and his heart is punishable.
The US military bombed violently and had a very arrogant and unreasonable attitude. Based on this situation, the Volunteer Army decided not to let it go and carry out the Fourth War as soon as possible. Moreover, in order to solve the current dilemma, the Volunteer Army decided to leave a small part of the troops in the western front of the battlefield. focused on restraining the enemy's main force, while our main force launched an attack, and the main location was the Hengcheng area.
Hengcheng Battle
is responsible for restraining the enemy's main forces on the Western Front. is the 38th Army and 50th Army of the Volunteer Army. These two troops are famous for daring to fight and dare to fight tough battles, so this difficult task was given to them. The four armies led by the 39th Army were responsible for carrying out the Hengcheng counterattack. fired the bow from left to right. In order to teach the US United Nations army a lesson, it really gave them all.
In mid-February, the main forces of the Volunteer Army were day and night. After a few days of marching, they finally arrived at the northwest part of Hengcheng at the scheduled time. The famous Hengcheng counterattack began here .
If you want to ask the US military about the time period that is most afraid of, it is estimated that the unified answer will be in the early morning, because the volunteers often plan the war's beginning until night falls, which can effectively reduce the damage caused to the US military aircraft to the volunteers. Therefore, as long as night falls, it is a good time for the volunteers to be dispatched.
The time when the Hengcheng counterattack began was similar. At about five o'clock in the evening, the volunteer army suddenly began a sudden attack.
At temperatures of more than 20 degrees below zero, no one expected that the volunteer army would launch a sudden attack. The sudden sound of gunfire was deafening, and the snow around was already half a foot thick. It was under such a difficult situation that the volunteer army began a counterattack.
Hengcheng Battle
Under Deng Hua's command, the volunteer army was divided into three groups, and had troops responsible for frontal attacks. The main task was to wipe out the enemy troops near Hengcheng and the land peak, as well as the troops that blocked the enemy's retreat, and the volunteer army that carried out side attacks. In short, each of them had their own duties and division of labor was clear.
may be because the Volunteer Army has too strong attack power, or the enemy has no plans, so they are defeated. Only two hours after the battle of began, the US United Nations Army began to retreat and defeat on a large scale, and basically began to flee towards Hengcheng .
The 117th Division troops, which were originally planned to carry out the subsequent defeat of the army, if the marching was normal, the volunteers had finished fighting, they also arrived at the predetermined position. Unexpectedly, the enemy was defeated so quickly. Now, the normal marching of became an urgent marching . In order to prevent the enemy from defeat, the vanguard even passed directly from the country road. The snow turned into ice. If you were not careful, it would be dangerous. However, it took one night. All the soldiers of the 117 Division had arrived at the Hengcheng area . Fortunately, it was one step faster than the enemy, and they could rest and wait for the enemy to arrive here.
is probably a human survival instinct, and it will always burst out with huge potential at the most dangerous time. This is the idea of the US United Nations Army that was defeated from the front line.
Hengcheng Battle
finally retreated from the front line. originally wanted to escape to Hengcheng area. As long as he returned to the base camp, he could at least save his life. Unexpectedly, after running out of breath, looked up and it was the volunteer army again. , which would definitely not be acceptable to anyone. So these US United Nations troops were completely crazy. After they were full of desire to survive, they decided to fight against the volunteer army. If they really couldn't do it, they died in battle.
Although they were already red from the eyes, they still had rationality. They knew that they could not win, so they had to ask the Air Force for help and summoned the Air Force troops on radio. Although the volunteer army was suppressed in a short period of time, the Air Force could not have at all times. Moreover, our army had anti-aircraft gun , and the firepower covered, and its strength was not enough.
But this US military force doesn’t know what it is thinking. doesn’t know how to surrender . China’s preferential treatment of prisoners is world-famous, and people insist on resisting to the death. Since this is the case, they must meet the other party’s requirements.
So in the interception battle, the volunteers arranged firepower points on both sides according to the terrain and terrain, and the firepower point at the forefront was also the highest point. directly arranged the forces of the two battalions. As soon as the U.N. troops came in, more than 200 people were missing. The enemy who reacted to could only hide in a bumpy place. But our army occupied a high place, and the enemy was fully visible below, so we could only suppress and beat him.
There were not many enemies left in the end when they fled from the front line. Although they were determined to resist desperately, their strength was there, and the enemy had just retreated and their troops had been seriously lost. It is not an easy task to reorganize a new structure to fight back . From the beginning to the end of the battle, it only took 30 minutes in total, and the US United Nations forces were beaten to no fight back.
Hengcheng Battle
However, the battle has not ended yet, because the volunteer army has a god-like teammate, and the front-line volunteer army has too strong firepower, so the enemy has not fought a few times, and finally they fled towards Hengcheng. The front was relaxed, but it also means that the pressure on Hengcheng interception battle is getting greater and greater.
The Volunteer Army had limited equipment, and we did not expect that the enemy would be so unbearable to fight. There were more and more enemies who fled. In the end, the Volunteer Army had all bullets. In order to intercept the US United Nations Army , could only conduct hand-to-hand combat .
The only imperfection in Hengcheng counterattack was actually because the teammates were too powerful, which caused too much pressure on the war later.
Some of the defeated enemy troops have become headless fly . In fact, it cannot cause effective damage to the volunteer army. What is annoying is that they are more able to run. The fleeing in all directions in the southeast, west and north has caused great difficulties for the volunteer army. You said you can't leave the position, just to chase a few rebels, right? But the enemies who fled everywhere could not be let go, and this was a stump for the volunteers.
Fortunately, as the gap became larger and larger, our reinforcements also arrived. They waited for some of the defeated troops that had escaped in Heguli and other areas. At this point, the counterattack against Hengcheng has basically ended.
Hengcheng Battle
This war took less than 35 hours in total, but it was one of the most exciting battles on the entire Korean battlefield. After statistics, this battle annihilated more than 12,000 U.S. United Nations troops, of which 500 were captured. This was the war with the largest number of American soldiers in the entire Korean War.
