Chapter 163 Battle of Jincheng: Syngman Lee was beaten and disabled

Syngman Rhee arbitrarily detained the prisoners of war of the Korean People's Army, which made the Americans lose their temper.Harrison, the US negotiator, had to write to our chief representative, General Nam Il, declaring that this matter had nothing to do with the US. On June 20, representatives of the negotiating parties held talks.General Nam Il read a letter from Marshal Kim Il Sung and Commander Peng Dehuai to Clark, Commander-in-Chief of the United Nations Army. The letter asked: "Can the (United Nations) military command control the troops of the South Korean (South Korean) government? Does the Korean armistice include the Syngman Rhee Group?"

This question made the US negotiators very embarrassed. It is necessary to teach the Syngman Rhee Group a lesson. Since the fifth battle, the Volunteer Army has never fought a large-scale battle. Regarding this battle, Yang Yong suggested: If you don't fight, you will fight, and if you fight, you will fight hard. The reason is: the conditions are different, and the volunteers have changed their shotguns. Yang Yong proposed to use three armies. Yang Dezhi said: "In my opinion, only five armies should be used." The headquarters of the Volunteer Army couldn't make up its mind, fearing that it would be too lively and difficult to grasp.

At this time, Peng Dehuai returned to the front line of North Korea from the country, and he slapped the table with his fist: "Go to the five armies, fight!" In order to ensure the victory of the battle, General Yang Yong asked the Volunteer Army Command for a regiment of rocket launchers and anti-aircraft artillery, as well as some tanks and engineers. In this way, the ratio of the strength of the Korean Army and our Volunteer Army is 1:3; the Volunteer Army deploys 1094 artillery pieces, with an average of 44.8 guns per kilometer, and the ratio of Korean Army and our Volunteer Army artillery is 1:1.7.

Regardless of military strength or firepower, the volunteers have the upper hand. It was the first and only time in the ground battlefield of the entire War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea to form a firepower advantage over the enemy in battle. Before this kind of treatment, the volunteers didn't even dare to think about it. The Chinese People's Volunteers mobilized 10 automobile regiments with 2,000 vehicles to rush forward 15,000 tons of combat supplies to the front around the clock, hoarded 700,000 rounds of artillery shells, and 120 tons of explosives. When Yang Yong did this, he took a slanted sword and made one after another, making the last battle of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea a superb one.

One trick: to tease you.Before the war, Yang Yong arranged for the volunteers to launch multiple attacks in non-offensive directions, making Rhee Chengman unclear where the main attack direction of the volunteers was. Two tricks: big latent.In order to achieve the effect of surprise attacks and reduce offensive casualties, Yang Yong arranged for a 3,000-man assault team from the 60th Army to lurk to the front of the enemy's position a day and night in advance.This is the largest scale in Chinese military history. Compared with the "lurking" in the TV series, the lurking of the volunteers is really too difficult.

Latency time: 25 hours. Potential weather: rainy day.There is no shortage of water, because volunteer soldiers can drink rainwater by opening their mouths on their backs.But the compressed biscuits suffered a disaster, and they became mushy when exposed to water. Latent location: The ambush position is only more than 100 meters away from the enemy's position. Even the enemy's speech and cough can be heard clearly. The volunteers are lurking in the low thatch and bushes. Measures: 1. Do not cough loudly, some soldiers were so suppressed that their faces turned purple; 2. Urinate everywhere, urinating in their pants, and the urine can be dried.

Three tricks: interspersed.Yang Yong organized three interspersed troops, one battalion-scale, one company-scale, and one platoon-scale.Normally, one would be enough, but he actually made three. How could the Korean army expect that these three interspersed troops would make a lot of fun in the enemy's rear. At 21:00 on July 13, 1,094 artillery pieces of the Volunteer Army suddenly erupted in the silence, brightening the dull night sky, and the shells rained down on the enemy's position 22 kilometers away.In less than half an hour, 1,900 tons of artillery shells were poured into the positions of the Capital Division, 3rd Division, 6th Division, and 8th Division of the Korean Army.

This was the largest shelling of the Volunteers in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and it was also the first time that the Volunteers had the advantage of ground firepower in the campaign. American war history records: "An incredible amount of artillery fire roared overhead. Amidst the roar, they attacked the Republic of Korea defense line in this area one after another. Under the onslaught of the Communist Army, the outposts were knocked down one by one." As soon as the shelling ended, Yang Yong, the new commander of the 20th Corps, and Wang Ping, the political commissar, commanded the five armies and launched an overwhelming onslaught against the five divisions of the Korean Army in the Jincheng area.

"Sanyang (Yang) Kaitai", Yang Dezhi and Yang Chengwu have appeared on the Korean battlefield successively.This time, it was Yang Yong's turn to play and show off his talents.
