Chapter 25 "The Chinese military is a force that can be insulted at will"

On October 25, 1950, the 40th Army of the Volunteer Army fired the first shot to resist US aggression and aid Korea in Onjeong, North Korea. In this battle, more than 500 people from the 6th Division of the Korean Army were annihilated. Almost at the same time, various small annihilation battles of the Volunteer Army started in full swing. Ordinarily, 500 people were annihilated, which is not a small number, and it should be enough to attract the commander's attention. But this matter did not attract the attention of Commander MacArthur, who has always been known for his alertness. He didn't realize that under the leadership of the mighty "Tiger King" Peng Dehuai, there was an army of tigers and wolves waiting for him in the mountains and forests of northern North Korea.

Putting aside the snowflake-like beating report, Commander MacArthur continued to be blinded there with ease. attack!attack!attack! Drink the Yalu River! End the Korean War! The first battle was in full swing. After one battle, 15,000 United Nations troops were wiped out. 15,000 people, my God! At this time, MacArthur seemed to calm down a bit, and he ordered his troops: the front team changed to the rear team, and immediately retreated. The catastrophe is coming, but he said: "I always think that China's sending troops is symbolic. It not only proves that they have the intention of helping the communist neighbors, but also can withdraw from North Korea without damaging their face."

Yes, as soon as people send out troops symbolically, your 15,000 people will be gone. Commander MacArthur was extremely calm, but his opponent Peng Dehuai was extremely calm. After the victory, Peng Dehuai decisively ended the first battle, and ordered his 260,000 troops to retreat quickly and hide in the mountains. MacArthur's plane scouted everywhere and concluded that the Chinese army had disappeared. Think about it, can hundreds of thousands of troops disappear casually? At this time, the lovely Commander MacArthur came to an astonishing judgment: the retreat of the Chinese army was "due to insufficient troops and poor equipment, and retreated timidly".

He is so confident. Self-confidence is because the US military is too strong. Be confident, and have reason to be confident. He believes that the large-scale air force assault along the Yalu River by the United Nations has "forced the CCP's follow-up troops not to enter the battlefield." He asserted that the number of volunteers entering the DPRK "will not exceed 60,000 to 70,000 at most." And said: "I am sure the war will be over in two weeks." He also said the craziest sentence in his life to reporters, that is, the Chinese Communist Party's army "is not an unassailable force."

It means: He thinks that the army of the Communist Party of China, like the army of the Kuomintang and the Qing Dynasty, is an army that can be insulted at will. MacArthur's madness has reached the point of madness. In other words, Commander MacArthur has gone crazy. You have to say, this MacArthur is indeed crazy enough. In fact, otherwise, there are even crazier ones!
