27He was sick again
Because China won the war.
Then the next China will turn against Soviet Russia, Soviet Russia will collapse, and then China will take the opportunity to rise.
If he makes a move now, it will simply throw Wakanda lightly and help Soviet Russia attract American firepower, which is something that only fools can do, so Han Huaiyi "took a firm stand", he said: "I personally suggest ending the battle as soon as possible and fixing the dividing line between the two sides on the 38th parallel, this is my true attitude." ”
"So Wakanda will send troops or?"
"No, it won't." Han Huaiyi swore that he would not, and he also said: "I have to seize the time to continue to develop economic science and technology in Hong Kong, who has the kung fu to participate in the affairs over there." ”
His attitude determines the course of the matter.
But, more importantly, the Chinese army has demonstrated strength that cannot be taken lightly.
It's like fighting, if you dare and can hurt the other person, the other person will have scruples.
The so-called group beating of the United Nations was taken over by the Chinese, and they kept pumping back, and no one dared to underestimate such an opponent.
And Han Huaiyi is born to be a non-stop.
He waited for Hoover to leave, but insisted on sending a telegram to MacArthur on December 23.
He said, "Merry Christmas, there are many soldiers in your army who have been my subordinates, or my sons, or my friends. When can I prepare Christmas dinner for them? ”
MacArthur!!!
This news circulated within the Coalition Army, and it was like a wildfire, instantly igniting the dissatisfaction of many generals with the arrogant MacArthur.
Just a few days later.
The Volunteer Army is here again.
You're the one who did it.
On December 31, 1950, the Chinese and North Korean coalition forces launched the third campaign.
By 2 January, the Volunteers had directly penetrated into the defense of the "United Nations Army" 15 to 20 kilometers deep, disrupting the deployment of the "United Nations Army" and forcing the "United Nations Army" to retreat on all fronts.
By 7 January, the "United Nations Army" had retreated to the line of Pyeongtaek, Anseong, Jecheon, Nyongviet, and Samcheok in the north and south of the 37th parallel, and in the course of the battle, a large number of South Korean troops and a small number of US troops were annihilated by the Chinese and North Korean troops because they could not retreat too late.
The Chinese then believed that the coalition forces might also retreat south in a planned attempt to lure the enemy deeper and repeat the old trick of the Inchon landing, so the volunteers finally stopped the pursuit, and the battle ended on January 8.
But the Chinese played smoothly and were in good spirits.
The volunteers have been resting for a maximum of half a month, and they are also preparing during this period.
Then, on the night of February 11, 1951, the Volunteer Army launched another counterattack in Hoengseong, this time pinning down the "United Nations Army" in Topyeong-ri and the South Korean Eighth Division that planned to attack the northwest of Hoengseong.
The other troops thus opened a gap and were able to attack directly on the US defense line in Wonju, and the US army collapsed!
As a result, the South Korean Third, Fifth, and Eighth Divisions, as well as the 1st Division of the US Second Division and the 187th Airborne Regiment, had to begin to retreat.
Now the "United Nations Army" in Toheiri is alone.
The Volunteer Army, which had completed the strategic plan, immediately launched the Battle of Toheong-ri on February 13.
But the U.S. military is also well prepared.
So in terms of casualties in this battle, the Chinese did suffer losses.
But this is not surprising.
Because the Americans are going to cling to the last fig leaf.
Therefore, this is the defensive position that the enemy has arranged for the ace army to do well in advance, and the front of their US army's ring defense circle is 6 kilometers, and there are 12 company positions on the first line.
In addition, in this battle, the U.S. Army invested a total of about 6,000 people in the 23rd Infantry Regiment, the 1st Ranger Company, the 37th Artillery Battalion (105 howitzers), the 503rd Artillery Battalion B Company (155 howitzers), the 82nd Automatic Anti-Aircraft Weapons Battalion B Company, the 2nd Engineer Battalion B Company, a tank company, the 2nd Medical Battalion and a platoon, and the French Battalion (attached to the ROK Army.
The volunteers who participated in Topingli were the 343rd and 344th regiments of the 115th Division of the 39th Army, the 356th and 357th regiments of the 119th Division of the 40th Army, the 359th Regiment of the 120th Division, and the 375th Regiment of the 125th Division, the 376th Regiment and the 377th Regiment of the 126th Division of the 42nd Army.
In addition, there were 2 companies of the 29 Artillery Regiment, 1 company of the 42 Artillery Regiment, and 1 battalion of the 45 Artillery Regiment.
However, it must be emphasized that after the first three battles, the attrition of various units of the Volunteer Army was very serious, so the total strength of the Volunteer Army in Topingli was about 15,000.
Let's move on to the decisive equipment.
The firepower of the US army is: 6 M114 155mm howitzers; 18 M101 105-mm howitzers; 51 mortars; 6 M16 self-propelled anti-aircraft machine guns; 4 M19 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns; 21 M4 Sherman tanks.
Volunteer firepower: 20 105-mm howitzers; 4 75-mm field guns; about 24 75-mm mountain guns; About 60 heavy mortars.
That is to say, in the Battle of Tohei-ri, only on paper, the ratio of forces was: the Volunteer Army vs. the U.S. Army, 2.5:1, while the firepower ratio was 1:33 (comprehensive number of heavy firearms and firepower density).
Therefore, it is not surprising that the volunteers cannot eat such a position, and it is not scientific to eat it.
Three days later, the volunteers withdrew directly, and the defenders did not pursue, because their losses also accounted for one-tenth of them.
And if you leave your position and go to a field night battle... Americans don't do it.
And the impact of this campaign was far-reaching.
The Chinese side immediately adjusted its operational thinking.
From the previous large-scale, wide-open and closed movement warfare and active attack, to defensive attrition.
This is because the Chinese side has sensed that the US military has eased up.
The decision was the right one.
Because MacArthur went crazy after receiving another batch of support.
He wanted to replicate the battle loss ratio of the Battle of Tohei-ri.
So from March 7 to April 4, 1951, he agreed to Ridgway to carry out Operation Ripper.
But the Chinese army has already prepared its deployment in advance at this moment.
The 38th line is step by step to the south, and the 38th line is north of the 38th line, and not an inch of land is allowed.
On April 4, the Volunteer Army abandoned Inchon and Seoul and retreated more than 100 kilometers along the entire line to the north of the 38th parallel.
And in this process, the famous MiG corridor in later generations, that is, the Soviet and Russian MiG fighters, has not yet joined the battle!
At this time, MacArthur came out again.
On April 10, seeing that the fighting had resumed to the 38th parallel, he began to fall ill again, and he thought that this was not enough, and that his lost face must be regained.
Because the actual commander of Tohei and the Ripper is actually Li Qiwei.
So he brazenly shouted to Truman in the early hours of the morning: "Now that the volunteers are in Korea, their logistical strength is insufficient, we should use nuclear weapons to bomb Northeast China, so that we will win!" ”
You're sick, aren't you? Truman was dumbfounded when he saw this request, was this what people said?
Lao Tzu yells at you all day long, asking you not to expand the scope of war, and you are still like this?
Han Huaiyi soon received the news, and he was also furious when he heard it.
He reminded Truman: "The purpose of nuclearizing Hiroshima is to punish the war criminals and reduce the war damage when we enter the Japanese mainland, and MacArthur's proposal is completely anti-human and will destroy the world, and such an incompetent fool who is always self-centered can no longer lead the army!" ”
