0212 Forgetting history is tantamount to betrayal

Arthur MacArthur III, MacArthur's only son.

"Come, let's pray together."

"Thank God."

After the prayers, the family began to enjoy the festive dinner.

After the meal, MacArthur, who had never drunk alcohol, made an exception and poured himself a glass of champagne, holding the wine glass, and stood in front of the window looking into the distance.

The radio in the room was playing the Thanksgiving menu of the American soldiers on the front line, which was very rich.

"Boys, this war is coming to an end, and you can go back to America before Christmas." MacArthur muttered to himself.

The next day, MacArthur's plane landed at Cheongcheongang Airport in North Korea.

The military put on a lot of pomp and circumstance, and also arranged a lot of reporters.

MacArthur patted the commander of the 24th Division on the shoulder and said, "I have already made a package ticket to the lads' wives and mothers, and the lads will return home at Christmas." Don't let me be a liar. Drive the volunteers to the other side of the Yalu River, and everything will be fine, and you can return to China. ”

"Yes, General!" The commander of the 24th Division hurriedly agreed, although he knew that the commander-in-chief's remarks were meant for reporters.

As soon as this remark came out, it naturally aroused questions from many reporters.

It's a great piece of news, and it's definitely going to make headlines.

"General, do you mean that the war that broke out on the Korean Peninsula can end before Christmas?"

"Is it the 8th Group level for this mission? Hit the Yalu River, isn't this the border between China and North Korea?"

MacArthur smirked: "Let's put it this way, the powerful offensive of my troops on the left flank will be unstoppable, and any resistance will be weak and hopeless." My troops on the right flank, with the cooperation of a strong navy and air force, will be in a very advantageous position at that time. ”

"Journalist friends, the rendezvous of the troops on the left and right flanks at the same time on the Yalu River is, in a sense, the end of the war, isn't it?" Finally, MacArthur asked rhetorically.

The reporter asked: "General, how many Chinese troops do you think are in North Korea?" They are said to have sent hundreds of thousands of troops. ”

MacArthur: "30,000 regular troops and 30,000 volunteers." ”

Reporter: "General, what are the plans of the troops after the victory?" What are the arrangements? ”

MacArthur: "The Eighth Army is going back to Japan, and two divisions are going to Europe...... Oh, and the kids will be coming home before Christmas. ”

Afterwards, MacArthur took another plane and circled the Yalu River in high spirits.

On the plane, MacArthur said to the reporters accompanying him: "Friends, do you see? The Yalu River is below, and in a few days I will give the order for the 8th Army to advance here, and there will be no force to stop this attack. The war is coming to an end, so relax. ”

[General MacArthur pledged to end the war by Christmas]

【Christmas soldiers can go home】

[Victory in sight - is Christmas not far away?] 】

[This will be another brilliant achievement of General MacArthur]

[The war is about to end completely]

After laying the groundwork for so long, Wang Liang can finally tell what happened on Christmas Eve: "At that time, the news reports were overwhelming, and everyone felt that the United Nations forces led by MacArthur had won the battle. And at the same time, on Christmas Eve, our volunteers ......"

MacArthur was not a fool, but he still fell into this big hole that Mr. Peng carefully designed for him.

After the end of the first battle, MacArthur judged that the total strength of the Chinese army in Korea was only 40,000, which was only symbolic in terms of strategy, and only for a limited purpose such as protecting the Fengman hydropower station in terms of tactics.

The so-called Christmas General Offensive was to launch a pincer offensive with the US Eighth Army in the west and the 10th Army in the east, advancing along the entire Yalu River in an attempt to wipe out all the volunteers and people's troops in Korea in one fell swoop and strive to end the Korean War before Christmas.

In fact, contrary to MacArthur's estimate, the volunteer troops that entered Korea in the early stage consisted of six infantry corps, a total of 18 divisions, and three artillery divisions and one regiment, totaling about 230,000 people.

The second-line troops are also in full swing to follow up.

"In a hurry, in a hurry. Originally, the three armies that were preparing to attack Taiwan Province were all overstaffed, and each regiment was a reinforced battalion under the 44 or even 55 system. Due to the urgency of the war in Korea, the soldiers from the south did not have time to train and they were not prepared to fight in the extremely cold land, and they even wore single clothes. After receiving the order to enter the Korean army, they quickly set out. Wang Liang recalled.

He is not making it up, but stating history, history that no one knows.

It is always said how the volunteers won the war, and how the United Nations army was vulnerable, is this really the case?

How many volunteer soldiers died there?

I can't even count them.

Wang Liang said: "In order to avoid the reconnaissance of the US air force and achieve the goal of secretly entering the DPRK, the troops must march day and night. In 1950, it was the coldest winter in North Korea as it entered the twentieth century. There are more than ten people in each class, and there are only two quilts. At night, the soldiers spread their beds and quilts on the snow, and a dozen or so people huddled on the quilts and hugged each other to keep warm to resist the freezing cold of minus 30 degrees. ”

"When they woke up the next morning, many of the fighters were frozen to death and frostbitten, and they died before they even saw the enemy and did not let go of a single shot. Frozen to death. ”

Why did Wang Liang react so violently when he saw someone asking for a Christmas hat and shouting Merry Christmas.

Is Christmas really merry?

Happy fart!

Sixty-seven years ago on Christmas, countless volunteers were frozen to death.

People should live in the moment, and that's a lot.

But to forget history is to betray!

If there had been no warriors sixty-seven years ago, who could not even be named by name, marching through the snow-covered mountains and woods at minus 30 degrees Celsius.

"Eat peace fruit on Christmas Eve, learn from the West to eat turkey, Christmas Eve in 1950, I remember we ate it like this......"

Wang Liang is like an angry young man, telling his dissatisfaction.

I can't get used to it, I really can't get used to it.

"I exchanged some potatoes with the North Korean people, and the troops did not dare to get on fire when they marched, so they cooked the potatoes in the people's homes, and by the time they were delivered to the soldiers, they had already frozen into ice lumps. We haven't eaten for two or three days, and we're hungry, and we can't bite and can't move, so we can only put the potatoes under our armpits to warm up, turn them into a layer, bite a layer, melt them again, and then gnaw them, it's so fragrant. ”

As soon as Wang Liang was about to continue, his mobile phone rang, and it was Zhu Peng, deputy editor-in-chief of Yangshi, calling.

In fact, before making the call, Zhu Peng had already sent several messages.

It can be seen that there is something important, so Wang Liang hurriedly ended the live broadcast.

Coming day, Fang Chang.
