After chatting about business, the two of them began to talk about something else, first talking about Monroe for a while, then talking about the interesting stories of each ** team for a while, and finally I didn't know how to talk about the "Battle of White Horse Mountain", which has been particularly popular in South Korea recently. ”

In the past few days, Tang Ning has witnessed the process of awarding the Order of Merit to the Korean White Horse Division by the Allied Command. The so-called White Horse Division is actually the Ninth Division of the South Korean Army, because it became the first Korean ** team to defeat the Chinese Volunteers in the Battle of White Horse Mountain, so it was named "White Horse Army" and became the honorary unit of South Korea, and the badge of the division has since been changed to a white horse pattern jumping high, the chief of staff of the division, Park Chung-hee, later became the president of South Korea, and South Korea has been vigorously promoting the Battle of White Horse Mountain. (Many South Korean films about the Korean War are now based on this battle.)

Takeda asked Tang Ning meaningfully, "Tony, what do you know about the Battle of White Horse Mountain?" ”

Tang Ning replied without hesitation: "What I know, of course, is official propaganda, during this period of time, South Korean newspapers will write about this matter almost every day, the South Korean side said that after more than two years of war training and the training and rectification of the US military, the quality of the South Korean ** team has been greatly improved." Relying on its own strength and the support of the US Air Force artillery, the South Korean army resisted the all-out attack of a division of the Volunteer Army with the strength of one division, and fought against a sea of people, and in the 10-day battle, Mt. Baekba changed hands 24 times while the South Korean ** team did not retreat, and finally held this strategic point. The battle resulted in 15,800 Chinese casualties and less than 3,600 self-inflicted wounds. ”

Takeda Takeo sneered, "Then do you think the truth of the matter will be like this?" ”

Downing shrugged: "Then how could I possibly know." ”

Takeda Yixiong took a sip of tea and said pretentiously: "Nacheng, then I will tell you what I know about the Battle of White Horse Mountain."

Mt. Baekba is a mountain range about 3 kilometers long from northwest to southeast about 10 kilometers northwest of Cheorwon, North Korea, with a peak of 394.8 meters.

At that time, Cheorwon was an important military station base of the U.S. army, and there was no danger to defend over this mountain, and Seoul would also be very dangerous. Therefore, during the Korean War, due to the special geographical location of this mountain, there was a 2nd regiment of the **114th Division of the Volunteer Army. More than 15,000 people from one regiment of the 112th Division and one regiment of the 113th Division fought for nine days with the 28th, 29th, 30th, and 51st regiments of the 9th South Korean Division (plus more than 90,000 people). Due to many reasons, after occupying the position of Baima Mountain, the volunteers finally took the initiative to withdraw from Baima Mountain after many days of fierce fighting, so it was called "the great victory of Baima Mountain" by the Koreans.

The Volunteer Army participated in the war with less than 15,000 troops, and about 7,000 suffered casualties. Among them, more than 2,000 were killed, more than 1,000 were seriously wounded, and more than 4,000 were slightly injured. According to the announcement of the United Army, the South Korean army has invested nearly 90,000 people. The casualties were 25,000, not the 3,600 that the South Koreans claimed.

The reason for the defeat of the Volunteer Army was mainly due to the leakage of the first pre-war battle plan, which caused major difficulties. Under the enemy's pre-prepared firepower superiority, the volunteers stormed and stabilized their positions and suffered unnecessary casualties. Despite this, the main attacking force still caused heavy casualties to the ROK army, and by the end of the campaign, the volunteer army still occupied most of the positions except for the main peak, and was finally forced to rely on the artillery support of 9 artillery battalions including the surrounding ROK army and US heavy artillery, and the close fire support of 1 tank battalion of the US army. and the air support of the US Far East Air Force, and the subsequent new operational intentions of the US 8th Army (i.e., the "Shangganling Campaign", which the US military called "Operation Showdown") and voluntarily withdrew from the battle. The Volunteers believed that the ROK Army had suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the ROK 9th Division relied on Busan and Chuncheon to continuously replenish new recruits to hold out until October 14. Accordingly, although the volunteers realized that the combat effectiveness of the ROK army had been greatly improved, they did not completely change their contemptuous attitude towards the ROK army. In the history of the Volunteer Army, the defeat in this battle was overshadowed by the subsequent victory in the Battle of Shangganling, and did not receive much attention. ”

Tang Ning shook his head when he heard this: "Hey, there are too many differences between the two sides." But if you think about it, it's normal, it's all political needs. ”

After discussing with Takeda Yixiong, Tang Ning felt that he could no longer stay in South Korea and had to return to Okinawa to deal with daily affairs. Because since he has promised Takeda Takeo, he must go to the United States again, and he has not had much time in Japan recently, so he must stabilize himself.

It turned out that Takeda Takeo's efficiency in doing things was very amazing, and Downing had just returned to Okinawa for three days. Takeda Yixiong sent someone to pick up Han Xuewei's parents, brothers and sisters, and the family naturally hugged and cried when they met, and they felt a lot of emotion.

After everyone's mood calmed down, Tang Ning chatted with Han Xuewei's old father and brother, first, to express that he valued Han Xuewei, no matter what, he accepted someone's daughter and couldn't give people a name. Second, Tang Ning also wanted to learn about the domestic situation through them.

But I don't know if I don't know, and I am shocked when I understand it, although Tang Ning has learned it in history books, the real situation is far beyond his imagination. (I don't dare to write about the specific situation, for fear of being harmonized, interested friends can Baidu to see how many people have committed suicide and died of persecution.) If you can find the 1952 internal meeting, you can see more details. ）

"One, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain to fight tigers, tigers don't eat, eat big villains, big villains, embezzlers" This cross talk line of Jiang Kun in "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" is actually a children's song in the three-anti-five anti-period period.

The children's rhyme of the same period also includes "Corrupt man, you open your eyes, two paths are up to you." A road of life, a road of despair; One light, one dark. Think about it, see which one you're heading towards? Confess thoroughly, deal with it leniently, and refuse to confess strictly. "Monkey band, I can jump, three anti five anti I know; Anti-corruption, anti-waste, bureaucracy is also opposed. Although these are just nursery rhymes, the child's language is relatively the purest and most intuitive reflection of the real state at that time, and I believe everyone should be able to experience and feel something from it.

After settling Han Xuewei's relatives, Tang Ning felt that since he had received Takeda Yixiong's payment, it was time for him to go to work, but just as he was about to set off, a piece of news came from Tokyo that made him furious: Matsuda Yoshiko was actually attacked by someone and seriously injured, and Tang Ning was furious when he heard it! (To be continued.) )

PS: I checked a lot of information about the three antis and five antis, but the more I checked, the more I didn't dare to write, and the editor-in-charge repeatedly emphasized that it was not allowed to touch the country, which seems to be reasonable.
