Yong Yang is one of the famous "Three Yang" in China's army, namely Yang Dezhi, Yang Chengwu and Yong Yang. In the Korean War, which lasted for more than two years, Yang Dezhi and Yang Chengwu successively fought in Korea, with outstanding achievements. Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou joked that we should have a "Three Yang Kaitai". With the Korean War coming to an end, wouldn't it be empty talk not to let Yong Yang shine? Chairman Mao soon sent a confidant to North Korea to take charge. Yong Yang served as the commander of the 20th Army Corps. Facing the brilliant record of former commander Zheng Weishan, he is naturally unwilling to lag behind. China second senior step school principal, a hand is ray!
1953 at 9 o'clock in the evening of July, thick clouds hung down, the world was dark, and the weather was stifling. In a flash, thousands of cannons of the volunteers suddenly roared in silence. From the north of the Han River in the east to Xiaganling in the west, smoke billowed from enemy positions within dozens of miles. In just 28 minutes, 1900 tons of artillery shells poured on the positions of the South Korean Capital Division, the 3rd Division, the 6th Division and the 8th Division. This kind of ammunition dumping was unimaginable for the volunteers at the beginning of the war. This is also the largest shelling of the volunteers by North Korea. The shelling density even exceeded the most intense Soviet-German battlefield during World War II.
"A Brief History of the Eighth Army of the US Army" records: "Incredible gunfire roared overhead. Amid the roar, South Korean troops began to attack the defense lines of the Republic of China in this area one after another. Under such a fierce attack, the positions were destroyed one after another. " According to American military history, the 20th Corps broke through the enemy's position in only 1 hour, and five armies of the 20th Corps launched an avalanche attack on four divisions in South Korea from Jincheng area. Commander Yong Yang's hand was like a thunder, as if heaven and man were connected, and there was a thunder in the sky. The bloody war began in the rain, and the crackle reflected the heroic fighting of volunteer soldiers. The whole battlefield has been occupied by China's army.
The first trump card of the Korean army, the capital division bears the brunt. This division claims to be the most capable in South Korea, and its first regiment is the oldest army in the history of the Korean Army, nicknamed "White Tiger Regiment". Cui, head of the White Tiger Regiment, was blinded by the fierce attack of the volunteers. The whole capital division can't believe that the volunteers can have such fierce firepower. Volunteers immediately dropped more shells than their entire division, and the 26th regiment on the left side of the White Tiger Regiment was going to die. The regiment's tank armored units were blown into a ball of fire just after they came out of the ground. The remaining tanks turned around and ran, and the regiment's defensive positions collapsed instantly.
The impact on the enemy is not only from the front. Just as the volunteers surrounded the frontline troops of the White Tiger Regiment, an elite volunteer special force bypassed the frontier position and quietly went straight to the White Tiger Regiment. This small unit, led by Yang Yucai, the deputy platoon leader, is well equipped. They wore the clothes of the south Korean enemy, and everyone was equipped with pistols, submachine guns, grenades and burning grenades. All the way through, they met an enemy patrol only a few kilometers away from the White Tiger Regiment. He brought an interpreter and guide, pretending to be an adviser to the United Nations Army. He also comforted the panicked South Korean soldiers with nonsense he didn't even understand.
They touched the White Tiger Regiment, and this elite army pounced on the enemy like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Coincidentally, Cui, who was in a hurry, was holding an emergency operation meeting with Lin Yichun, deputy division chief of Capital Division. More than 70 officers of the White Tiger Regiment expressed their opinions. Yang Yucai kicked the door open and all the flames burst out. In just over ten seconds, more than 70 South Korean officers all fell under the raid of the special forces of the Volunteers. Lin Yichun and Cui escaped by jumping out of the window. After they escaped, they separated from each other. Lin Yichun was quickly captured alive by the volunteers, and he became the supreme commander of the enemy captured alive on the Korean battlefield.
After fighting all night, at dawn, the volunteers looked at the sky, with dark clouds and heavy rain, and the American plane could not come. Yong Yang, who fought a bayonet with a Japanese officer, decided to break away from convention and attack during the day. More than twenty China tanks rushed up again after taking part in the midnight battle, and launched continuous attacks with infantry during the day. In the face of wave after wave attacks by the East, West and East attack groups of the 20th Corps, the South Korean army was completely defeated, and all around Jincheng was wiped out by our army. Four divisions in South Korea suffered a devastating blow. In 2 1 hour, the volunteers advanced 9.5 kilometers in the modern defensive position built by the "United Nations Army" for two years, which was the highest speed of both sides in the war.
Volunteers' troops pointed directly at Seoul, and the rapid attack of South China Army made the already contradictory US and South Korean armies more acute. Americans say Li Chengwan is incompetent, while Li Chengwan says the United States is free from destruction. Scold to scold, Li Chengwan is, after all, the US military's own camp. Clark and Taylor, the newly appointed commander of the Eighth Army, rushed to the front to direct the counterattack in an attempt to recapture the lost ground, because if the volunteers were allowed to end the war with such a great victory, the United Nations army would be hard to face anyway.
Taylor's counterattack hit a wall. From July of 18, 10 day, facing the fierce counterattack of seven divisions of the United Nations Army, by the 28th, the 20th Corps of Yong Yang had not lost an inch of land, with 53,000 enemy casualties in jincheng battle. At the same time, troops on other fronts attacked piecemeal, killing and injuring 16 thousand people before and after. In general, the Volunteers wiped out more than 73,000 enemies, captured 45 tanks and recovered 65,438+078 square kilometers of lost land. Volunteers suffered more than 33,000 casualties.
After this battle, the United nations army no longer has any illusions. Volunteers are no longer millet and rifles as they were in the early days of the war, and there is no chance of winning in the Korean battlefield. Of course, Li Chengwan, who lost his main force, is also very obedient and honest.
