The "strangulation war" was concocted by the US military imitating an air campaign launched by the Allied Air Force in Italy in March 1944, with the railway line used by the Germans as the main target. That battle was originally called air force coordinated attack. Later it was called "strangulation war".
In the late Korean War, the United States hoped to win on the battlefield in order to gain the initiative at the negotiating table and launch a strangulation war. At that time, the US military dispatched the most advanced F-86E "Sabre" fighter. During the ten-month air raid, the US military dropped 38,000 bombs in the "triangle area" alone, with an average of one bomb per half-meter railway line.
Our army has only a few anti-aircraft guns. Our army showed tenacious perseverance in the battle and put forward the slogan of "building an indestructible steel transportation line". Under the condition that the equipment supply was completely behind the enemy, the enemy's destruction was defeated in bad weather conditions. In this strangulation war, the US military dispatched a large number of planes, mainly blocking traffic arteries by railways, in an attempt to cut off the supply of volunteers and win without fighting. Moreover, it rained all night, which coincided with a serious natural disaster on the Korean peninsula.
In this strangulation war, which lasted for several months, our army showed great military strategic wisdom, organized large-scale railway maintenance forces, repaired traffic lines day and night, and created a special road that was closed in the morning and opened to traffic at night, which gave the US military with weak night vision ability great strategic charm. This is a very successful strategy. During this period, a group of volunteers with both wisdom and courage emerged. Xiaowen Yuan, the vice squad leader of the 6th Regiment of the Second Iron Division, died heroically after his legs were blown off. Shi Fu, the vice squad leader of the 5th Regiment of the 2nd Iron Division, used a civil wrench instead of screws to protect the railway transportation safety.
Volunteers give full play to the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of officers and men, and stubbornly carry out operations such as emergency repair, emergency transportation, air combat and ground air defense. As a result, the planned 90-day "strangulation war" lasted for nearly 10 months, but it did not effectively prevent the passage of the traffic line between China and North Korea and the continuous replenishment of their combat power. Even the enemy generals have to admit that there is no road that the PLA can't repair in 24 hours.
In the later period of the campaign, the top commander of the US military who launched the campaign even thought that the campaign not only did not cause substantial harm to the volunteers, but also created their stronger logistics and transportation capabilities, so they began to worry that once the fighting with little effect was stopped, the volunteers would soon get a lot of supplies and gain greater advantages on the battlefield. So it has been difficult to end this battle.
Our army's final victory has many noteworthy aspects. In the face of the menacing destructive activities of the enemy, our army calmly and quickly established a unified command post at the front line, and at the same time, it exerted its powerful command ability to coordinate various ministries, fully stimulated the wisdom of the masses, and invented and created countless advanced engineering concepts and advanced management models that are now ahead of schedule. In my opinion, the most important reason for victory is that the volunteers are just and help neighboring countries resist aggression. The People's Army of the motherland behind it has no way out, which is far from the "United Nations Army" that actually came to invade under the banner of aiding South Korea.
I think an army must know what it is fighting for before it fights. If this problem is not solved, the army will have no soul and cannot win the final victory.
