"Looking at Ma Desheng's back that seemed to understand but not understand, Li Guoyao didn't speak for a long time.
What he said just now seemed to shock Ma Desheng greatly, but Li Guoyao knew that he did not fully understand, or did not fully understand the horror of the army that had always had faith.
With faith, people can become more determined and more motivated. But that's just an individual. Can you imagine what will happen to hundreds of thousands of people when they all have the same belief?
You can¡¯t even imagine it!
Because such troops will be invincible, and they can even subvert thousands of years of human cognition!
As I said before, Westerners believe that troops have lost their combat effectiveness when they suffer more than 30% casualties. Even their countries and governments allow frontline troops to surrender to each other under such circumstances.
However, there is a powerful army in the world that can withstand a mortality rate of nearly 500% and still fight, and ultimately win the battle.
Please see clearly, what we are talking about here is not the casualty rate, but the death rate.
??If an army dies 100%, it means the entire army is annihilated. How can it be possible that 500% of the army dies?
Normally this is not possible, but in China, it is completely possible in the Chinese army!
The person who created this miracle in military history was the 8th Company of the 134th Regiment of the 45th Division of the 15th Army of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. The battle they fought was in Shangganling.
In 1952, the situation of the Korean War was basically clear, and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
It stands to reason that a peace agreement can be signed. China requires that the ceasefire line be based on the actual military control line, which is the pre-war 38th Line, but the Americans do not agree.
Because as early as October 1, 1950, the US military had occupied all of South Korea south of the 38th parallel, and then decided to change its strategic goals and expand the scale of the war to destroy North Korea and help South Korea unify.
"If a peace agreement is signed based on the 38th parallel, wouldn't it mean that the US military has been doing useless work in the past two years and the decision made back then was wrong.
Because of this decision, so many people in the US military died. Who will be responsible?
Therefore, the United States insists on asking China to give up part of its control area, even if the dividing line is pushed three kilometers or two kilometers north of the 38th parallel.
As long as it occupies a little land, it means that the United States's two years of fighting are still fruitful. It is not in vain. At most, it will win or lose with the Chinese army.
If it does not occupy any land, then the strategic purpose of the United States will be a complete failure.
The negotiations at Panmunjom have reached a deadlock.
In 1952, the US military launched "Operation Showdown" in an attempt to seize some land and then initiate peace talks immediately.
U.S. Army Commander Clark advocated a large-scale, all-front assault, which would last until peace.
Because frontline commander Van Fleet had suffered a lot in the frontal battlefield, he suggested breaking through the enemy's front, attacking steadily, concentrating superior forces and firepower to break through from the direction of Ganling on the Five Sacred Mountains, and first seize a position as a fulcrum to pave the way for subsequent attacks.
In the end, Clark approved Van Fleet's plan and decided that "Operation Showdown" would start from the Five Sacred Mountains.
According to Van Fleet¡¯s estimate, after concentrating superior artillery firepower, only two infantry battalions are needed to seize the Five Sacred Mountains. It will take up to 5 days to complete the offensive at the cost of 200 casualties, and then start the follow-up attack plan.
The U.S. general election will be held in October. Taking a few positions for publicity will be very beneficial to the president's election, so Truman also approved this plan.
? Subsequently, the US military unilaterally suspended armistice negotiations, and the war began immediately.
In the early morning of October 12, 1952, 16 US artillery battalions secretly mobilized near Shangganling suddenly opened fire at the same time. In one day, more than 300,000 artillery shells and more than 500 aerial bombs were poured into our military positions. After 6 shots, the elevation of the mountain was cut by 2 meters.
What is the concept of 300,000 rounds of artillery shells? During the three years of the Korean War, the Volunteer Army only consumed a total of 240,000 mortar shells, 960,000 grenades, and 4,903 92 cannon shells. The total number of large and small caliber artillery shells combined was only about 1.2 million.
¡°The US military dropped 300,000 artillery shells in one day.
The U.S. military¡¯s artillery positions were filled with overwhelming shell casings.
After being covered by super-intensity firepower, two U.S. infantry battalions launched an assault.
??The Chinese army stationed here only has 2 companies, and they have been baptized by 300,000 artillery shells.
Responsible for guarding the Pingkang area is the 15th Army of the 3rd Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteers. This elite volunteer army had a peak contest with the US military in Shangganling.??
Shangganling has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Logically speaking, it should not be chosen as the main attack direction, and our army has not deployed heavy troops.
But Van Fleet wanted to do the opposite and catch him by surprise. After discovering the abnormal actions of the US military, the 15th Army urgently increased its troops to Shangganling.
This battle was more difficult than anyone expected. At the most difficult moment of the battle, the commander of the 45th Division promised the commander: "If there is a company left, I will be the company commander; if there is a squad left, I will be the commander." Squad leader. As long as I am here, Shangganling will still belong to the Chinese People¡¯s Volunteers!¡±
The Battle of Shangganling lasted for 43 days. The US military fired an average of more than 40,000 artillery shells every day, with a total of 1.97 million rounds.
Of the 27 companies of the 15th Army participating in the war, 16 were repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. The casualty rate of company-level cadres reached more than 65%, and the casualty rate of squad leaders and deputy squad leaders reached 100%.
100% means that the squad leaders and deputy squad leaders who participated in the battle in Shangganling were either killed or injured, without exception.
The most heroic unit among them is the 8th Company of the 134th Regiment of the 45th Division of the 15th Army.
The 8th Company was originally a company of less than 200 men. After being crippled and wiped out, it never left the firing line. During the entire campaign, it received multiple reinforcements, adding a total of 800 troops.
After the war, only 6 people from the 8th Company survived, nearly 1,000 people were killed, and nearly 1,800 enemies were eliminated.
The company with less than 200 men suffered nearly 1,000 casualties without collapse. The death rate was 500%, but it never considered retreating for repairs. It always fought tenaciously on the front line, but still maintained a tenacious will to fight.
This is simply a miracle in military history, a miracle among miracles, an iron army among iron armies.
The flag of the 8th Company, despite careful protection by the entire company, was still riddled with 381 bullet holes.
This military flag has become the representative of the 15th Army and participated in the National Day military parade marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
¡°Why the volunteers can create such miracles is not because they are all Spider-Man or Iron Man, but because every one of them is a person of faith.
This is like a spark. When tens of thousands of stars gather together, they are no longer inconspicuous stars, but a bright starry sky, a raging fire that can start a prairie fire.
Although the current Jiujiu Army is far from the volunteers who experienced the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, this unit is also an elite force trained by Li Guoyao using Chinese-style training methods.
¡°After every soldier joins the army, he must consciously instill in them the concept of defending the homeland, killing the enemy and resisting Japan, and through various forms of patriotic education, let these soldiers know why they are fighting.
Year after year, the effect is obvious, which is also a crucial reason why the various units of the Jiuji Army have strong combat effectiveness.
Therefore, although Li Guoyao does not believe that the frontline troops can achieve 500% death without collapse, he does not believe that two-thirds of the casualties will cause the most powerful brigade of the 177th Division to collapse.
If something like that happens, it only means that his training methods and concepts are wrong.
¡°But facts have proven that this training method is effective and feasible, so Li Guoyao does not believe that Lu Ding¡¯an¡¯s troops cannot survive.
Li Guoyao had high expectations for this battle, because only by capturing Zhangjiakou could the troops boldly launch the Eastern Expedition. Otherwise, the troops would always be under high pressure from the North China Front and it would be impossible to mobilize the main force to the East. Enter.
"After taking Zhangjiakou, especially holding the several hundred miles of mountainous passage between Peiping and Zhangjiakou, it was equivalent to putting a bayonet in the throat of Neji Okamura.
In order to ensure the security of Peiping, the North China Front Army must deploy more than three infantry divisions in the Pingjin area at all times. This is an extremely important check for the North China Front Army.
In addition, the Japanese army will soon experience successive defeats in the Southeast Asian battlefield. Perhaps after this battle, the North China Front Army will no longer be able to attack the Suichai area.
