The movement to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea is a part of the Korean War, which only refers to the part where our volunteers participated in the war, and also includes our people's mass movement, which only refers to the movement to support the Korean people in resisting U.S. imperialist aggression. At this stage, there are many battles that reflect the fighting spirit of our volunteers. One of them is a story about a man who saved the day. How did it happen?
1950, 15 In September, the US military landed in Incheon, the western coastline of the Korean Peninsula, which caused the Korean People's Army to attack from front to back and suffered huge losses, and then turned to the strategic retreat stage. Later, Premier Zhou delivered a speech: The people of China will never tolerate foreign aggression, nor will they turn a blind eye to the aggression of neighboring countries.
MacArthur decided that we didn't dare to send troops to fight against it, so he ignored our repeated warnings and crossed the 38th parallel on June 10 to capture Pyongyang, with the intention of quickly occupying the whole of Korea. At the same time, American planes invaded China's airspace many times, even bombed Dandong, and the war soon reached the Yalu River.
1October 8, 1950, 10, in order to ask us to send troops to help, the North Korean government issued a formal request. In response to the request of the North Korean government, we sent troops to help North Korea to defend our homeland. 10 year 10 On October 25th, the Chinese People's Volunteers fired the first shot to aid Korea, and the movement to resist US aggression and aid Korea officially began.
During the first stage of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, from 1950125 October to195125 June, our volunteers joined forces with the Korean People's Army to carry out five strategic battles, with mobile warfare as the main battle, supplemented by positional warfare and guerrilla warfare.
In the second stage of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, that is, from June195/kloc-0 to July 27 1953, the Chinese and Korean people adopted the policy of protracted war, focusing on positional warfare and actively defending themselves. Military action and armistice negotiations are closely combined, and they promote each other while fighting.
At this stage, a figure appeared, who was summoned by the generals and repeatedly made outstanding achievements. Who is this character? He is the founding major general and one of the founders of the Corps of Engineers-Wang Yaonan.
Wang Yaonan, the founding major general of People's Republic of China (PRC) and one of the founders of the engineering corps, is known as "the king of mine warfare" and "the king of engineering corps". His life is a history of engineers in China.
It went through Anyuan strike, Sanwan reorganization, Jinggangshan struggle, five counter-encirclement campaigns, the Red Army's 25,000-mile Long March, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
He also organized and directed tunnel warfare and mine warfare, with outstanding achievements. He made great contributions to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. He experienced more than 300 battles and was seriously injured five times, but he never backed down.
Wang Yaonan was born in Shangli Village, Pingxiang, Jiangxi. Although there are less than 100 households here, he is famous for making firecrackers. At the age of five, Wang Yaonan began to learn the skills of setting off firecrackers from his uncles. He is clever and willing to study hard. After several years, he not only mastered the skills, but also mastered dozens of firecracker formulas, which is the best among his peers.
19 19, Shangli village was accidentally detonated due to charging and disappeared into half the village. Helpless, the mother took her young Wang Yaonan and sister begging all the way to take refuge in her father. At that time, my father worked as a blaster in Pingxiang Coal Mine, Anyuan. His income was meager and his work was heavy. He supported his family.
In Anyuan, local bureaucrats colluded with imperialism, turning Anyuan into a hell on earth. Anyuan became the source of the workers' movement led by our party, one of the main places where the autumn harvest uprising broke out in Hunan and Jiangxi, and also the military center where the Hunan Provincial Committee of our party commanded the uprising.
After Wang Yaonan arrived in Anyuan, he studied blasting with his father. I took on an extraordinary burden when I was young. At that time, the great man, who served as secretary of the branch of Hunan Province, took the development of the workers' movement as the focus of his work. He came to Pingxiang Coal Mine to spread the flame of revolution. Understandable and profound revolutionary truth took root in Wang Yaonan's heart and grew up slowly.
1922, Li founded the first remedial school for road and mine workers and secretly spread our party's ideas. This idea caused a great shock to Wang Yaonan. Later, Anyuan Youth League, which joined our party organization, began to carry out revolutionary tasks.
Once, the workers held a secret meeting under the mine. The foreman suddenly came to inspect the post. Wang Yaonan, who was on sentry duty, had a brainwave and greeted him loudly: "Uncle, you are here." The foreman immediately scolded: "What are you yelling about!"
In this way, he defeated Wang Yaonan. Wang Yaonan shouted even louder: "Oh, why did you hit someone?" Hearing Wang Yaonan's "signal", the workers got the message and quickly dispersed.
Anyuan strike started on 1922. Wang Yaonan, 1 1 year-old, rushed to the front of the team and shouted the revolutionary slogan: used to be an ox and a horse, but now he wants to be a man. He also led the friends of the children's group to put up flags, put up slogans, distribute leaflets and sing "Labor Song". The sonorous singing resounded loudly, shaking the crumbling old society.
Under the leadership of the party and with the support of the people all over the country, the general strike finally won. Comrade Liu Shaoqi said many times that without the worker Rainbow Yaonan, it would be difficult to win the general strike. Young Wang Yaonan experienced the baptism of revolution.
1952 spring, on the Korean battlefield. The "United Nations Army" led by the United States accepted the lessons of the attacks in summer and autumn, and changed to small-scale offensive actions and sabotage activities by the air force to safeguard their defense lines and cooperate with their negotiations.
In order to consolidate the existing positions and persist in long-term operations, we have creatively established a very solid defense system with tunnel fortifications as the mainstay and field fortifications as the supplement. Among them, tunnel fortification is a mountainous tunnel warfare tactic created by Wang Yaonan according to the plain tunnel warfare thought and the local actual situation.
Mountain tunnels can even resist the enemy's heavy artillery, and can also resist the bombing of eight-inch (200 mm) caliber heavy artillery. The number of people killed in our army has dropped from 80 to 2-3 every day. The mountain tunnel is praised by the army as the indestructible underground steel Great Wall. By July 1953, the Korean armistice, the whole mountain of the 38th parallel was almost hollowed out.
Summary:
Mountain tunnels crisscross the mountains of the 38th parallel. It has played a vital role in maintaining our military strength. Thoroughly solved the problem of garrison and training of frontline mountain troops, and the perfect combination of attack and defense.
The mountain tunnel warfare creatively developed by Wang Yaonan according to the plain tunnel warfare has effectively resisted the enemy's heavy artillery and aerial bombing attacks, greatly reduced casualties, preserved the strength of our army, played an extremely important role in consolidating the mountain defense of the 38th parallel, successfully reversed the war situation and made great contributions to future generations.
