1950!

That year, it was the center line of the twentieth century!

That year, the People's Republic of China was only one year old!

That year, the situation in Northeast Asia was full of war clouds, turbulence, and tension!

In that year, men in the political arena of various countries in the world began a political and military struggle for the interests of the nation because of different beliefs!

At that time, the leading players in the international political arena of Northeast Asia were: Truman (USA), Stalin (Soviet Union), Supreme Leader of China (China), Supreme Leader of North Korea (North Korea), and Syngman Rhee (South Korea).

It was also in that year that Duanmu Shichen (hereinafter referred to as Shi Chen) was only 21 years old, but he was already the father of a child, and he was also a soldier of the 354th Regiment of the 118th Division of the 40th Army of Siye who had experienced the baptism of the Liberation War. He participated in the decisive battle of Pingjin and the battle of Hengbao, marched into Liangguang, and had just liberated Hainan Island. Outstanding achievements and proud achievements!

That year, a lot happened......

The war of any country, the war of any army, requires the division to be famous!

On June 25, North Korea, with the tacit approval of the Soviet Union, launched an undeclared war to unify the country. Cross the 38th parallel to attack the South Korean army, and the Korean War broke out in full force! The DPRK side claimed: "The puppet army of Syngman Rhee of South Korea crossed the 38th parallel and attacked the DPRK in a surprise attack, and this war was deliberately launched by US imperialism and a war of resistance against US aggression for the DPRK!" ”

On 26 June, the US representative to the United Nations submitted a motion to the Security Council, which was adopted by a vote of 13 to 1 (the Soviet Union was absent and Yugoslavia voted against) to form a so-called "United Nations" force composed of 16 countries, including the United States, Britain, Turkey, Canada, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands, France, the Philippines, Greece, Belgium, Colombia, Ethiopia, Luxembourg, and South Africa.

On June 27, the KPA captured Seoul (present-day Seoul)! Since most of the ROK National Defense Forces were not yet in combat readiness at that time, they had no power to parry. During the retreat, the South Korean top brass panicked and blew up the Han River Bridge, sending a large number of troops to North Korea, and breaking down the resistance of the South Korean army more quickly.

Also on the same day, U.S. President Harry S. Truman ordered the U.S. military to intervene directly in the Korean War, declared that Taiwan's future status had not yet been determined, and ordered the Seventh Fleet to be stationed in the Taiwan Strait to deter any attack on Taiwan. As a result, preparations for an attack on Taiwan by the Chinese authorities were halted and eventually had to be effectively abandoned.

On June 28, Zhou Xiangyu issued a statement: "The actions of the United States are armed aggression against China's territory and a complete destruction of the UN Charter."

On July 7, the United Nations Security Council, in the absence of the Soviet Union to protest the issue of China's representation, adopted Resolution 84, authorizing the United States to command the United Nations Command to help the Republic of Korea repel North Korean forces and authorizing the United Nations Command to use the United Nations flag.

Also on the same day, Zhou Xiangyu presided over an important meeting on national defense issues, at which it was decided that the troops of the 13 Corps (38 Army, 39 Army, and 40 th Army) of the former Fourth Field Army and the headquarters of the 15 Corps, a total of 255,000 people, would form the Northeast Frontier Army, which would be stationed in Fengcheng, Liaoyang, Andong (now Dandong), Tonghua, Benxi, and other places, and its task would be to defend China's northeastern frontier and support the Korean People's Army in operations if necessary.

On July 13, the Central Military Commission drafted the official document of the "Decision on Defending the Northeast Frontier", and China's supreme leader immediately issued an instruction on the same day: "Agree, implement it accordingly!" ”

At the beginning of the war, the Korean army was victorious:

On July 20, the KPA captured Daejeon!

On July 24, the KPA captured Mokpo!

On July 31, Jinju was occupied. The South Korean Defense Forces and the U.S. Army were forced all the way back to Busan!

On 6 August, General MacArthur, a five-star U.S. Army general, met with other senior officers in Tokyo and persuaded them to carry out the risky Inchon landings.

In mid-August, the Korean People's Army (KPA) basically defeated the ROK National Defense Forces after a bloody battle, capturing all cities except Busan, and occupying 90 percent of the Korean peninsula and 92 percent of the population. Seeing that the entire Korean Peninsula is about to be completely liberated, the Korean People's Army feels that the victory is certain, and the results of the liberation of the entire Korean Peninsula are about to be in the bag!

But who knows that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky!

At 6:30 a.m. on September 15, with the rising sun in the early morning, the U.S. Tenth Army kicked off the Inchon landing in the rapid breakthrough of Wolmi Island. The vanguard first landed at Green Beach in the north, and then quickly built a front-line position with the help of M26 heavy tank vehicles as a cover, and then American fighter-bombers took off on the aircraft carrier to carry out carpet bombardment of the surrounding area! Trying to get rid of all the mines.

At 19:50, the waves are coming! The water began to rise, and the large warships of the Americans took the opportunity to start a mighty landing of about 75,000 American soldiers fed with milk and steaks!

At that time, the Korean People's Army received information that the Americans might have landed at "Gunsan," and they thought that the Americans were making a feint, so they sent only a small number of troops to block the attack. At that time, most of the KPA units that were blocking the attack were newly formed units, and their combat ability and will to fight were relatively weak. When the blocking force reached Incheon, the KPA soldiers were dumbfounded. The sky is full of American soldiers armed to the teeth, heavy tanks that can only be found in heavy industrial powers, large-caliber artillery, and fighter jets as many as migratory birds......

In an instant, the Korean People's Army that came to stop the attack was buried in the flames!

On September 16, the supreme leader of the DPRK, who realized that he had been deceived, strictly ordered the Korean People's Army to launch a counteroffensive with T-34 tanks as the main force! However, as soon as the KPA tank, which was not supported by the air force, came out of the air, it was blown to pieces by the American fighter-bombers that heard the news.

On September 22, the U.S. army set off from Inchon and approached Seoul, and Seoul was in an emergency!

On September 25, after three days of desperate resistance by the People's Army, Seoul fell! The KPA was directly cut off from supplies, and in order to prevent the enemy from being attacked on the back, the KPA began an orderly strategic retreat. But what the North Korean authorities never expected was that this was the beginning of all the nightmares of the KPA, and out of fear of being flanked, the KPA began to turn from a great retreat to a major rout, and the pre-war Korean territories fell one after another, and the North Korean authorities forced the trend to move the center of power to the area near the Yalu River, and wrote letters seeking help from China and the Soviet Union.

October 1 is the first birthday of the Republic.

Also on the same day, the US-ROK coalition crossed the "38th parallel", and the situation in the Korean war changed dramatically!

Also in the early hours of that day, Stalin received a letter for help from the Supreme Leader of North Korea, who was recuperating at the Adler Retreat on the Black Sea in the Caucasus. After reading the letter, he fell into deep thought.

Stalin realized: if the Korean People's Army failed, the entire Korean Peninsula would fall into the hands of the Western camp, led by the United States. The situation in the Far East would immediately change, and the interests of the USSR would be directly threatened. The Soviet Union must not allow the West to occupy all of Korea. However, the Soviet Union could not enter into a head-on conflict with the United States, because the Soviet Union and the United States were still in friendly relations just after the end of World War II. Large-scale construction was also underway in the Soviet Union. In the event of a head-on conflict with the United States, it would be very disadvantageous to the Soviet Union. What to do? So, Stalin thought of China.

Stalin also knew about the situation in China, which had just ended its civil war and was in a period of economic recovery, which was very difficult. But he also took into account China's interests in the northeast, and the United States sent a fleet to occupy the Taiwan Strait while sending troops to Korea, which prevented China from successfully realizing its military plan to liberate Taiwan. Therefore, according to Stalin, the Korean war was also closely related to China's interests. The plan he considered for aiding the DPRK was that China would send troops into the DPRK to directly support the DPRK in resisting the US and south Korean troops, and that the Soviet Union would provide the Chinese army with more advanced weapons and ammunition. So Stalin sat down and wrote a letter to China's supreme leader and Zhou Xiangyu.

In this letter, he proposed to the Chinese Government in a consultative tone that China should directly send troops to Korea. He said: The situation in Korea has become extremely bad, the 1st and 2nd Army Corps of the DPRK have been divided and surrounded by enemy forces, and there are no enemy troops in the Seoul area, and the road to the 38th parallel can be said to be open. Therefore, "I consider that if in the light of the above situation it is considered possible to send troops to the aid of the Korean comrades, even if it is only five or six divisions, so that the Korean comrades can form reserves north of the 38th parallel under the cover of your troops." The Chinese army can send troops in the name of volunteers, of course, still under the dispatch of Chinese commanders." In his letter, Stalin also made it clear that he had written this letter without prior communication with the Korean comrades, but solely for the purpose of soliciting the opinions of the Chinese comrades, and that the final decision should be made according to the opinions of the Chinese comrades, without the slightest intention of imposing it on others. ”

Before making the decision to send troops to North Korea, the supreme leader of China also repeatedly considered in his mind the traditional friendship between the Communist Party of China and the Workers' Party of Korea, as well as the international political situation at the time. His ideological tendency was to send troops to aid the DPRK. However, China's supreme leader also knew the difficulties faced by China in sending troops to aid Korea, and when he met with other leaders at the Juxiang Book House in Zhongnanhai, after everyone laid out these difficulties in front of him, China's supreme leader said something like this: "You have a reason for what you say, but no matter what, others are going to die, and we stand by and watch, no matter what we say, we are also sad in our hearts." ”

Mr. Peng later recalled: "I repeated the chairman's four sentences dozens of times, and realized that this was an instruction that combines internationalism and patriotism. 'You have a point,' but if you don't think about it in connection with North Korea in a critical moment, it's nationalism, not internationalism. When I think of this, I think that sending troops to aid the DPRK is correct, necessary, and a wise decision, and I can't wait. I figured it out and supported the wise decision of the chairman. ”

The Americans have already stuck knives into the necks of the Chinese, the battle for the founding of the country! Don't miss it!

On October 8, the Northeast Frontier Army was renamed the Chinese People's Volunteer Army.

On October 15, when General MacArthur received the medal presented to him by President Truman on Wake Island, he confidently said, "America has won!" The resistance will end by Thanksgiving."

On October 19, the Chinese army officially set out to fight in Korea.

That year, North Korea's winter was bitterly cold for decades!

In the splendid mountains and rivers of only 3,000 miles, a world-class competition began!

Chinese history says: "War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea"!

This is the beginning of the magnificent and tragic war!
