The propaganda slogan in the counterattack of Hengcheng

China 7 1 years ago, the country was still in poverty and everything needed to be done. Soon after South Korean soldiers laid down their weapons, who knew that there was another conflict on the Korean Peninsula? In line with the relationship between * * * and * *, the South Korean soldiers had to put their guns on their backs again and immediately rushed to the Korean battlefield with a pistol. ...

On the eve of entering the DPRK, the Northeast Military Region held a meeting of cadres at or above the regiment level. Suddenly, there was a forceful and hit the floor's speech at the meeting:

And the person who can say such a generous speech is Wu Xinquan, then commander of the 39th Army.

Wu Xinquan was born in Pingjiang County, Hunan Province on March 26th on 19 12. When he grew up, he was heavier and bigger. /kloc-joined the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants at the age of 0/8, and formally joined the China Producers' Party in the same year, starting his military career.

Born in troubled times, in that turbulent era, like many people with lofty ideals, he took an active part in the battle, and participated in many battles such as the Red Army's crusade to the East, the Western Expedition, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Siping Defence War and Liaoshen Campaign.

General Wu Xinquan was a military commander all his life, and he was famous for his courage and daring to fight tough battles. People all evaluate him as an excellent military and political figure, and even call him the "ever-victorious general" in the army, and even the most awesome commander of the volunteer army.

However, if we want to say that he fought the most wonderful and impressive battle, it may still belong to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, as his eldest son Wu Wanxiang said: "My father fought all his life, and the most brilliant battle was in the Korean battlefield." Because on the Korean battlefield, General Wu Xinquan created the "four firsts" one after another, and made outstanding achievements.

1950, the 39th Army led by Wu Xinquan was recruited into Korea. After entering Korea, the first battle his troops took part in was the battle of Yunshan. Volunteers of the 39th Army are going to Yunshan City. When they were all about to go to war, they suddenly found that their opponents were not the Korean army, but the first cavalry division, the ace force of the American army.

Looked at, the captains Wu Xinquan at this time to one side of the political commissar Bin Xu said:

Even Mr. Peng immediately sent a telegram with a simple sentence: "Resolutely destroy the American ace teacher."

Why do volunteers have to make such a big determination to win Yunshan? Although Yunshan is only a small mountain city, its military strategic position is extremely important and it is a transportation hub in northern Korea. If Yunshan can be captured successfully, then the volunteers can go straight to the Qingchuan River Plain to seize the war.

1950 10, under the cover of night in Yunshan, the 39 th Army quietly started fighting. The main force has already formed an encirclement outside Yunshan City, pouring into Yunshan City from all directions, carrying out an avalanche attack on the US military, blocking the retreat route of the US military and occupying Yunshan Airport.

At the intersection of south of Yunshan 15 km, the volunteers and the US military launched a fierce close combat. Seeing that the battlefield situation is getting worse and worse for the US military, milburn, commander of the First Army of the US Army, also went to the front of the battlefield to direct operations, but it was difficult to recover the defeat of this first confrontation. He can only give up the attack with a straight face and order the troops to retreat to the south.

As a result, the first confrontation between China and the United States in the Korean battlefield ended with the victory of the 39 th Army. In this battle, the 39th Army annihilated more than 4,000 enemy troops and captured 0/800 American troops. Three planes were shot down and four planes were captured, but the four American planes were blown up before they were put into use. In addition, 28 tanks, more than 70 cars/kloc-0 and 9 guns1/kloc-0 were seized.

Commander Peng was undoubtedly very happy to play such a record, and praised the volunteers of the 39th Army led by him. As for the US military, after this war, even after many years, whenever I recall it, I still have a lingering fear and say, "Yunshan? My God, this is the funeral of China people! "

The success of the first battle boosted the morale of the volunteers, but they were not complacent, because they didn't have much chance to breathe, and they needed to devote themselves to the second battle. In the second battle, MacArthur, then commander-in-chief of the United Nations Army, ordered the whole army to advance northward. According to his plan, he wants to occupy the whole of Korea before the Yalu River is covered with ice and snow.

But the reality is that it is precisely because of his conceit and his psychology of underestimating the enemy that the volunteers have the opportunity to win the war. At this time, the volunteers chose to retreat from the north and adopted the tactics of luring the enemy into the United States. So Wu Xinquan made a decisive decision and led the 39th Army to concentrate three divisions to panic in the 25th Division of the US Army in the west of the Qingchuan River.

The 39th Army still chose to take action at night, and trained to use the methods of rapid infiltration and circuitous outflanking, making full use of its advantages in night fighting and hand-to-hand combat, and successfully wiped out the enemy, captured a whole surrendered Cheren and dealt a heavy blow to the United Nations Army.

After the withdrawal of the United Nations Army, Wu Xinquan ordered a 56-point attack and commanded the 39th Army 1 16 Division to take the lead in attacking Pyongyang, thus becoming the first force of the Volunteers to enter Pyongyang.

1950 ended, and volunteers launched the third campaign. Under the leadership of Wu Xinquan, 7,500 volunteers from the 39th Army116th Division crossed the Linjin River in only five minutes, breaking through the so-called solid Linjin River defense line built by the South Korean army and taking the South Korean army by surprise.

On the other hand, the 39th Army 1 17 Division successively repelled five sniper actions of the South Korean Army. With the total defeat of the first and second divisions of the South Korean Army, the US military at this time also fell into a more difficult situation.

1950' s New Year's Day also became a victory day for the volunteers, who successfully broke through the US defense line in Li Qiwei in just one hour. So on the third day after New Year's Day, Li Qiwei officially gave up Seoul, and Wu Xinquan's troops took the lead in attacking Seoul and occupied the South Korean presidential palace.

Li Qiwei also expressed the sigh of the post-war volunteers: "I didn't expect China soldiers to launch the New Year's Day offensive in this lifeless wasteland."

195 1 65438+1On October 25th, the United Nations forces launched an attack in the direction of Seoul, and the fourth battle started immediately. The 39th Army, which originally carried out the charge mission on the western front, was transferred to the eastern front as a defensive counterattack mission, and launched a fierce battle with the enemy. In the fourth battle, the volunteers of the 39 th Army also chose to conduct military operations at night and aimed at the opportunity. In February 1 1, they launched the famous Hengcheng counterattack.

The counter-offensive in Hengcheng was a hard battle and a bloody battle. Although the 39th Army has made great achievements in successive battles, in the face of the overwhelming US warplanes and the menacing US and South Korean troops, there are still many volunteer soldiers lying in a pool of blood.

At this time, Wu Xinquan was angry and immediately gave a dead order: "Even if you hit the last person, you must stick to it!" So the volunteers of 29 army 1 17 Division began to storm, which put the US and South Korean armies in a dilemma.

At dusk, under the command of Wu Xinquan, the 39th Army Volunteers began to encircle the US and South Korean troops from all directions, and carried out interspersed operations, divide and rule, divide and rule, that is, cut off the enemy and divide them into multiple parts for siege. And focus on destroying the enemy's artillery positions, so that its infantry units lose fire cover and support.

Seeing that the battlefield situation was not good, some South Korean troops began to flee hastily, but just bumped into the location of the logistics troops of 1 17 Division and finally had to surrender one after another. The withdrawal of south Korean troops undoubtedly caused great losses to the remaining American troops, especially in artillery fire.

After the Battle of Hengcheng, the China Volunteers gave the US and South Korean troops a head-on blow, and even cast a shadow over the southern army, fearing the volunteers even more. On the other hand, the 39th Army 1 17 Division still won the battle, captured 139 guns and 550 cars, wiped out more than 3,350 enemy troops, and captured 2,500 enemy troops, including more than 800 American troops. At the same time, it also set a battlefield record for the largest number of American soldiers captured alive during the Volunteer War.

As the commander of the 39th Army, Wu Xinquan became more famous after these battles. On the battlefield, he is always strong and decisive, calm and sober. Even the mighty MacArthur once said: Wu Xinquan, commander of the 39th Army of the Volunteers, is a terrible man. Therefore, Wu Xinquan is also regarded by the US military as the most outstanding volunteer commander.

General Wu Xinquan and his 39th Army fought bloody battles in the Korean battlefield for three years. When they met the enemy, they destroyed the enemy, attacked the enemy and won the battle, which made our volunteers famous. Its countless achievements on the battlefield are not blown out, but fought with life, which is a real heroic record and a brilliant battlefield. Therefore, it was highly praised by Commander-in-Chief Peng after the war.

After returning to China, Wu Xinquan was awarded the honorary rank of Lieutenant General in September, 1955. General Wu Xinquan is not only good at fighting, but also good at fighting. Ball games are also a major hobby of his life, whether it is basketball, football or table tennis.

In the process of kicking, the tactics on the battlefield are also perfectly used. Not only that, his love for ball games also infected his sons, who often played with them, thus creating a Wu Jiajun basketball team. It is reported that this Wu Jiajun basketball team, composed of him and his sons, was invincible in the artillery compound that year.

How deep is his passion for ball games? Even in his later years, he was hospitalized because of a heart attack and was forbidden by doctors to watch the live broadcast of the game. He still insisted: "If you don't watch the game, you will have a heart attack!" "

Wu Xinquan, the battlefield, the stadium, come and go freely, in the stadium, you can skillfully play the ball at your fingertips. On the battlefield, you are brave and good at fighting, and you have become the most powerful commander of the Almighty Volunteers.
