Chapter 66 While happily chasing the enemy, the superior ordered to stop

In the first fight on the Korean battlefield, it was obvious that the Volunteer Army won and the United Nations Army lost.In the event of a setback on the battlefield, the Americans took out the old method-run. Attack, the Americans are faster; retreat, the Americans are faster. Soon, the wheels of the United Nations military car broke away from the No. 11 bus (two legs) of the Volunteer Army and ran for 180 kilometers. It is generally believed that running is a manifestation of Americans' fear of death, but it is not always the case.Running just constitutes a great wisdom of the US military tactical command.Regardless of the gains and losses of a city or a place, Mao Zedong and his elders also said the same.Especially in the case of unfavorable warfare, it is indeed a wise move to quickly run away from danger and reduce deadweight losses.Moreover, fighting bayonets at close range is a shortcoming of the Americans. Only by disengaging can the strengths of the US military's weapons be brought into play and opportunities for victory can be created.Therefore, on the Korean battlefield, in subsequent wars, the situation of "running" when unfavorable has been repeated many times by American soldiers.

In this regard, the U.S. military is many times stronger than the Kuomintang army.Look at that Generalissimo Jiang who is desperate for face, he is reluctant to give up anything when faced with a dangerous situation. He wants the territory and the troops want it. Even if it is very unfavorable, he will fight to the death.As a result, not only the reluctant Northeast was lost, the reluctant Beiping was lost, the reluctant Huaihai was lost, and the whole of China was lost; not only the Liao Yaoxiang Corps, Fu Zuoyi Corps, Du Yuming's troops were lost, and the eight million troops were almost lost. All lost.

This is exactly what Mao Zedong said: Lose people and keep land, everyone will lose land; lose land and keep people, everyone will gain land. In the military philosophy of the United States, human life is the most valuable, and everything else is secondary. As long as there are people, everything is there.Therefore, Americans run when they encounter adversity, not ordinary running, running regardless of everything, and running for real.Weapons and equipment are the second priority. If you can take care of them, you can take care of them. If you can’t take care of them, you can throw them away. Anyway, I have plenty in the United States;

Where there is life, there is hope. In addition, running is their advantage. The wheels of American cars are mechanized, and they bounce very fast. How can the volunteers keep up. Therefore, don't make fun of American soldiers, saying that Americans will run away on the Korean battlefield. If you don't believe me, try not to run away, before the brave volunteers are wiped out? Americans are good at running, and Chinese are good at chasing. This is common sense. Just when the Volunteers attacked the city and pursued it victoriously, Peng Dehuai issued an order that seemed unreasonable: stop the pursuit.

I was chasing vigorously, why did I stop suddenly? What's wrong with destroying more enemies and occupying more territory? The frontline soldiers couldn't understand it.
