1950, Korean War broke out.
In the war years, any abnormal movement has infinite possibilities.
Therefore, the United States not only intervened in the Korean War and sent large-scale troops to North Korea, but also launched a fleet of in the Taiwan Strait, obstructing our army from attacking Taiwan.
Finally, the central government decided to first resist the U.S. aggression and aid Korea and send more than 1.3 million volunteer troops to North Korea .
11952, the war on the Korean Peninsula came to an end. General Peng returned to his country to recuperate. Chairman Mao asked : "Which unit we are the best at fighting the US military?"
General Peng didn't think about it and answered directly : "42 Army."
Unexpectedly, Chairman Mao immediately asked to withdraw the 42nd Army from the Korean battlefield.
So, why is this?
01 The terrifying ace army
The 42nd Army of the Volunteer Army is the first batch of troops to enter North Korea to fight.
This is a force that has been fighting in the Northeast all year round. It is more adaptable to the environment and climate of the northern polar regions. Its flexibility and elusiveness make the US military feel very imposing.
When we first entered North Korea, the 42nd Army undertook a major strategic task - to stick to Huangcaoling for half a month.
Huangcaoling is inconspicuous, but its geographical location is important for ten minutes. It guards the highway and is a must-pass place for the US military mechanized forces. Once it is lost here, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Under extreme disadvantages, the 42nd Army completed the difficult task with its perseverance, extremely high tolerance, and extremely excellent combat level.
In half a month, they killed more than 3,000 enemies, delayed the pace of the US military's advance, and won enough time and opportunity for our army's further attack.
In addition to performing well in the Huangcaoling Battle, the 42nd Army also made impressive achievements in the subsequent operations.
From entering North Korea in 1950 to the end of the fifth battle in 1951, this army wiped out a total of 28,000 enemies, which made the enemy's fear change and became the ace army of our volunteer army to attack the US military.
So, General Peng said that the 42nd Army is the most capable army in the fight against the United States and aid Korea.
02 Defending the southern gate of the motherland
So, why did Chairman Mao transfer the best troops in North Korea back to the country?
President Peng also had this question at the time.
In response to this, Chairman Mao explained: " The United States did not take any advantage in North Korea this time, and naturally it will cause trouble. It must be that will support Chiang Kai-shek . Therefore, we must transfer the troops that can fight the US military the most and send them to South to fight with the US military again."
So, according to Chairman Mao's instructions, in November 1952, the 42nd Army secretly evacuated North Korea, and returned to China.
42 Army Commander Wu Ruilin came to Beijing and met General Zhu and General Peng. The two leaders praised the 42nd Army's performance in North Korea and praised: You fight very well in North Korea! After
, the 42nd Army went south directly and arrived in Guangdong. Because, they got a new task - defending the southern gate of the motherland.
Shortly after the 42nd Army was stationed, the commander Wu Ruilin received a new appointment, and this was an unexpected appointment - he was asked to be the commander of the Navy's South China Sea.
But Wu Ruilin is a Sichuan native . He has been marching and fighting on land and has never even boarded a boat!
However, since it is a task assigned by the organization, it must be overcome to complete it, and it must be completed beautifully!
Just like that, Wu Ruilin began to learn naval knowledge desperately, and even said that except for the bold words " can't understand the navy, and he will never get off the ship again."
In the end, Wu Ruilin used the best time to master naval knowledge in solidarity, making his subordinates a dragon force guarding the southern gate of our country.
03 Continue to attack the enemy's arrogance
1953, the situation on the Korean battlefield finally stabilized.
But as Chairman Mao expected, the "United Nations Army " led by the US military was unwilling to accept it.
11953, a British military warship stationed in Hong Kong, , casually drove into the waters near the Pearl River Estuary of my country, patrolled back and forth, and began to provoke nakedly.
At that time, our country's navy was weak and he had no strength to expel the British warship. The military and civilians could only watch the British warship gritted their teeth.
When Wu Ruilin found out, he transferred a batch of artillery with excellent caliber and range from a certain place, and calculated the firepower coverage point based on the trajectory of the British warship. Afterwards, with his order, he shot dense artillery at the British warships!
British warship Black smoke rose on the spot , and 6 British royal sailors were killed at the same time.
This incident made my border military and civilians very excited, and the British army stationed in Hong Kong also became much more low-key.
Wu Ruilin received unanimous praise from his superiors, believing that he is brave and resourceful, and dares to do things.
htmlIn the 160s, the 42nd Army was transferred from Guangdong to Fujian.
At that time, after ten years of preparation, Taiwan felt that the time for counterattack had come, and gathered 500,000 troops and continued to tentatively invade the mainland coast.
11965, two Taiwan's warships once again invaded the mainland waters. These are two high-end warships equipped by the US military.
Wu Ruilin calmly commanded and in just two hours, he sank the two invading warships, killed the Major General of the Taiwan Navy, and at the same time, he captured a captain. After
, under Wu Ruilin's command, our army also shot down five US aircraft and captured a well-known US ace pilot.
Such a 42nd Army with great military achievements has severely hit the arrogance of the United States and Taiwan. It shows Chairman Mao’s wise strategy and the strength of our army!
