Chapter 113 Distinctive Personalities of Chinese Soldiers

After detecting that a large number of Chinese troops had crossed the Yalu River and were heading towards the 38th Parallel in a steady stream, and that they might become passive if they continued to fight, the alert United Nations Commander Li Qiwei ordered the attack to stop. The Americans stopped attacking, it was the turn of the Chinese. Offensive, active attack, will always be Peng Dehuai's deep-rooted military personality. To attack, take the initiative to attack, even if you are much weaker than the opponent, you must take the initiative to attack. This is the personality of the Chinese soldiers of that generation, and it is also the fundamental factor for the Chinese nation to be reborn after a century of humiliation.

In this regard, the Chinese soldier Peng Dehuai is no worse than his opponent Li Qiwei from the United States of America. Not bad. Not bad at all. Fighting an offensive war - the fifth battle, began to brew on the Chinese side.In order to fight the fifth battle well, Mao Zedong and the Central Military Commission spent a lot of money and ordered several main corps of the Chinese army to rush to the Korean battlefield at night, so as to fundamentally change the balance of forces in the Korean battlefield and defeat the United Nations army. Take a look at the troops below and it becomes clear what these elite divisions fighting the Fifth Campaign meant to the U.S. Army:

The 19th Corps, led by Yang Dezhi, has jurisdiction over the 63rd, 64th, and 65th armies. Except for one as the first-line defense, they are assembled in the Shibianli, Jinchuan, and Xinxi areas. The 3rd Corps, led by Wang Jinshan (known as Crazy Wang), has jurisdiction over the 12th, 15th, and 60th armies. Except for one serving as the first-line defense, they are assembled in the Yichuan, Anxia, ​​and Xiaoxingdong areas.Corps Commander: Chen Geng. The 9th Corps, led by Song Shilun, who defeated the American ace army in the second battle, governed the 20th, 26th, and 27th armies. As part of the division, a regiment of anti-tank destroyer artillery was deployed in the Cheorwon and Kimhwa areas.

The total number of Chinese troops participating in the war: 950,000, including 770,000 combat troops and 180,000 logistics support troops, a total of 14 armies. Front-line combat forces: In addition to the 38th Army, 42nd Army, and the newly entered 47th Army, who rest in the rear and undertake emergency repairs such as airports, the Volunteer Army's front-line combat forces include 3 corps, 11 armies, 33 divisions, and 3 ground forces. The artillery division and 1 anti-aircraft artillery division have a total of more than 548,000 people. Together with the three front-line regiments of the People's Army, the front-line combat strength is nearly 700,000.

Such a powerful military force has reached the front line, which has greatly increased the confidence of Commander Peng Dehuai, who has always been stretched in strength.He made up his mind to use his main force to change the situation of the Korean War in World War I. On April 19, Peng Dehuai issued the mobilization order for the fifth campaign. Objective of the campaign: to "annihilate 3 divisions of the U.S. Army (less than 1 regiment), 3 brigades of Britain and Turkey, and the 1st and 6th divisions of the Korean Army."This was written very clearly in the telegram "About the Specific Deployment of the Fifth Campaign".

Eliminate the three main divisions of the United States, God, this is to knock out the teeth of the US military!On the Korean battlefield, the United States only had a few main divisions! There is a good show to watch.
