In November 1950, in the northern part of Korea, China and the United States seemed to be playing a magnificent war chess.

From October 25 to November 5, 1950, the Volunteers annihilated more than 15,000 enemies in the first battle, and drove the US-led "United **" to the south of the Cheongchon River to the south of the Cheongchon River, shattering its dream of occupying all of Korea before "Thanksgiving". In view of the fact that the strength of the Volunteer Army had not yet been fully exposed, in order to gain the initiative and take it by surprise, the leader of the Volunteer Army ordered all armies to stop attacking, take the initiative to retreat, lure the enemy into depth, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. Sure enough, the "United **" was confused and misjudged that the volunteer army was "cowardly retreating", with a maximum of 60,000 or 70,000 people, and was not a "force that cannot be insulted", so it launched a new attack.

After the volunteers lured the enemy into depth, the "United **" gradually entered the predetermined scope of the campaign of the volunteers. At this time, the six armies of the Western Front Volunteer Army {50th Army, 66th Army, 39th Army, 40th Army, 38th Army, 42nd Army}, a total of 230,000 people, have been assembled in Dingzhou, Guicheng, Taizhou, Yunshan, Xinxingdong, north of Tokugawa, and northeast of Ningyuan. On the opposite side of the Volunteer Army, the "United **" with the US Eighth Army as the main force totaled 2.25 million people, but only 130,000 people were fighting in the front line. 230,000 volunteers fought against 130,000 "joint **", and the volunteers had a clear advantage in numbers.

On the evening of November 25, the Volunteer Army of the Western Front launched an offensive of the Second Campaign. The second battle begins!

The 50th Army, the 66th Army, and the 39th Army attacked the 27th Brigade of the British Army, the 1st Division of the South Korean Army, and the 25th Division of the US Army from the front on the line of Dingju-Taecheon-Unsan. The 40th Army attacked the 2nd Division of the U.S. Army in the Sinsingdong area and the Somin-dong area, and the 38th and 42nd Armies attacked Tokugawa and Nyongwon respectively, attacking the 7th and 8th Divisions of the South Korean Army on the flank.

On November 26, the 38th and 42nd armies occupied Tokugawa and Nyongwon, annihilating most of the 7th and 8th divisions of the South Korean Army, and the right flank of the "United **" was also exposed. In order to plug the gap, the "United **" urgently transferred the Turkish brigade from Valcheon to Tokugawa for reinforcement, and at the same time, the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Army in the south moved from Sunchon to Sinchang-ri. At the same time, the Volunteer Army Headquarters ordered the 38th Army and the 42nd Army to carry out a two-tier battle detour, with the 38th Army in the inner layer interspersed with Junyu-ri and Sansho-ri, and the outer 42nd Army interspersed with Suncheon and Sucheon.

On November 28, the 50th Army advanced to Wulongdong, and the 66th Army advanced to the Guchengdong and Yongsandong areas. The 39th Army approached Yongbyon, and the 40th Army approached the stadium. The main force of the 38th Army, which had a roundabout inner layer, broke the resistance of the Turkish brigade in the area of Yukouzhan and continued to advance in the direction of Fengming-ri and Gunyu-ri, and the 113th Division of the 38th Army occupied Sansho-ri. Cutting off one of the retreat routes of the "United **" from Junyu-ri to Suncheon, the 42nd Army, which served as the outer detour, captured Beichang-ri and continued to advance in the direction of Suncheon.

The 50th, 66th, 39th, and 40th armies, which attacked head-on on November 29, had already pushed the front to the line of Bochuan-Yongbyon-Nam-Wonri. The main force of the 38th Army advanced to Fengmingli, and on the way destroyed a Turkish brigade. After occupying Sansholi, the 113th Division of the 38th Army seized Longyuanli and cut off another retreat route for the southward retreat of the "United **". At this point, the 2nd and 25th Divisions of the US Army, the Turkish Brigade, the 1st US Cavalry Division, and the 1st Division of the South Korean Army were surrounded by volunteers on three sides. Under the offensive of the Volunteer Army, the "United **" retreated on all fronts, and at the same time the troops of Sunchon and Pyongyang sent out to the rescue. At Sinchang-ri, the 1st U.S. Cavalry Division blocked the attack of the 42nd Army, and at the same time, the 1st U.S. Cavalry Division and the 1st Brigade of the British Army in Pyongyang quickly reinforced, northern, and retreated troops in the direction of Yongwon-ri and Samso-ri. In order to alleviate the pressure of the blocking troops in Longyuanli, the 335th Regiment of the 112th Division of the 38th Army, under the leadership of the regiment commander Fan Tianen, marched through a night of rapid marching and arrived at Songgu Peak, the only way for the enemy to retreat in the early morning of the 30th!

The 335th Regiment had just arrived at Songgu Peak, and most of the enemy's rout had just withdrawn. A hard-fought encounter is in full swing.

The battle of Songgu Peak was very fierce, and the volunteers cut off the enemy's way of life, and of course the enemy had to fight back wildly. As soon as the battle began, heavy artillery and tanks were invested, and air support was also called in, and the volunteers were attacked with all their might! The enemy planes were like crazy, they flew over the heads of the volunteers, throwing zha dan and ran shao dan without restraint. The enemy's tank artillery also went crazy, and shells rained down on the positions of the volunteers. Shrapnel flew everywhere on the positions of the volunteers, and the fire was raging, and such a bombardment lasted for 40 minutes.

The volunteers were not afraid of danger and fought bravely. Hold your ground like nails. When all the bullets were gone, the fighters greeted the enemy with shou liu dan. When Shou Liu Dan ran out, the fighters raised their bayonets and fearlessly rushed towards them. When the bayonets were broken, they used their teeth and fists until they were killed with the enemy. In this way, the poorly equipped volunteer fighters repelled five enemy charges.

At the end of the battle, the writer Wei Wei walked to the position and couldn't help but cry when he saw the corpses of the volunteers. It was found that the corpses of many volunteer soldiers still maintained the fighting posture of fighting bravely before death. Some shou liu dan was stained with the brains of the enemy, and they still had half of the ears of the Americans in their mouths. Wei Wei wrote what he saw and heard into a newsletter, which is the famous reportage - "Who is the cutest person"

On November 30, at 3 o'clock in the morning, the 40th Army captured Junyuli, which is located on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Qingchuan River, which is a railway and highway transportation hub and an important combat material supply base for the "United **" on the Western Front. The 38th Army had previously cut off the retreat of the "United **", causing the enemy to retreat on all fronts. On the same day, the 40th Army divided its troops to the south to pursue the remnants of the 9th Regiment of the 2nd Division of the US Army, and joined the 38th Army at Qingguli, which cut off the enemy's retreat, and captured more than 450 US troops. On December 1, the main force of the 40th Army continued to pursue the remnants of the US 2nd Division fleeing to the west coast, captured Anzhou, and annihilated the enemy. On the 2nd, the commander of the Volunteer Army ordered the main forces of each army to stop the offensive and pursue the enemy with part of their forces. On the 6th, the Volunteer Army recaptured Pyongyang, and the second battle ended victoriously.

On page 183 of "The Man Who Controlled the Korean War" written by Yang Feng'an, the military secretary of Commander Peng of the Volunteer Army, it is recorded that on December 4, Peng Dehuai reported to *** on the battlefield situation on the Western Front and said that 7,000 people of the 2nd Division of the US Army were killed, wounded and captured in this battle.

On December 6, Chinese and North Korean forces recaptured Pyongyang. On November 27, the Eastern Front Volunteers began a counterattack, annihilating three US divisions in the Fusheng-ri area, and successively recovering the Hamhung, Wonsan, and Heingnam areas, and the remnants of the enemy escaped from the sea. In this campaign, with the cooperation of the Korean people, the volunteers braved the severe cold and fought for more than 40 days, annihilated more than 36,000 people of the "United **", recovered the vast area north of the 38th parallel, liberated the Wengjin Peninsula and the Yan'an Peninsula south of the 38th parallel, and forced the "United **" to go on the defensive, thus turning the tide of the Korean war.

After the defeat of MacArthur's Christmas Offensive, he exclaimed in his report to the President of the United States: "The United States is waging a completely new war under completely new circumstances, with a completely new power with great military might."
