Chen Geng entered the DPRK three times before and after, but he did not directly direct the operation. The US military lamented: He came to repair the Great Wall-

It's too difficult to fight the American army! The harder it is to get to the back!

After the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea hit the rear, the U.S. military basically found out the weaknesses of the volunteers: insufficient firepower, lagging supply, and difficulties in tackling difficulties ...

The position captured by the volunteers at night, the US military dares to grab it blatantly during the day, quickly and ruthlessly!

The casualty ratio of volunteers and American troops also climbed from 1:2 to 1:3 and 1:4.

Commander-in-chief Peng and other commanders in command of operations are unwilling to see or do this.

To this end, commander-in-chief Peng was worried about enteritis and had to return to China to recuperate. Before he left, he handed over the command to Chen Geng.

Chen Geng, carrying a heavy burden, went to the front to inspect. When he saw a "hole" in the position of the volunteers, a wonderful operational strategy came into his mind.

Since then, the war between the two sides has begun to reverse.

After the implementation of Chen Geng's idea, the US military was almost tortured, and many soldiers' psychological defense lines were completely destroyed and collapsed several times. Originally, the US military planned to kill a volunteer with 40-60 shells, but it turned out that 660 shells might not kill a volunteer.

No matter how excellent bombs they throw and how much firepower they release, the volunteers are like having nine lives and can't be killed!

After the war, the American troops who learned of Chen Geng Thought exclaimed in the sky: "Where did he fight? Obviously, he is here to repair the Great Wall! "

Why do the us military say this? What kind of operational strategy did Chen Geng put forward?

When the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea started, Chen Geng was directing Vietnam to resist legal aid.

Hearing that the volunteers had crossed the Yalu River, Chen Geng wrote in his diary: "I heard that the volunteers had entered the DPRK, and I didn't sleep well all night. I can't stop thinking about the Korean War. The battle here has won a staged victory. In order to win the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, I have decided to contribute everything I have. "

At that time, the Vietnam Aid War, under the command of Chen Geng, achieved a key victory in the border battle.

1 950165438+1October1,Chen Geng bid farewell to President Ho Chi Minh's return to China.

165438+1October 29th, when meeting with Chen Geng, Chairman Mao, who has always been humorous, said with a smile, "Chen Geng! You are too belligerent! As soon as I heard that I was going to hit the American imperialists, I came back non-stop. I see you look much better, I see you! You have to thank Truman! "

Subsequently, Chen Geng volunteered to Chairman Mao to fight in the DPRK. With the approval of the Chairman, Chen Geng set out from Shenyang for the Korean battlefield.

This is Chen Geng's first visit to the DPRK.

This time, he only had a general understanding of the Korean War, toured the front and rear, and stayed in the headquarters of the Ninth Corps for a few days.

195 1 year 1 at the end of the month, Chen Geng had to return to Yunnan because of the new situation in the Vietnamese battlefield.

Shortly after Chen Geng left, Chinese people's Volunteer Army launched the fourth campaign. Although the volunteers have wiped out more than 22,000 people at this stage, the powerful firepower and logistics of the US military far exceed our army's imagination.

The American army fought back crazily, and the volunteers had to fight to the death with flesh and blood. Although the two sides ended in a draw, the spirit of the volunteers was frightened by the sudden air strikes by the US military, and the soldiers of the Ninth Corps also slept in their clothes during the break.

When asked carefully, it turned out that the soldiers were afraid of American air strikes and did not take off their clothes to escape faster. The soldiers suffered a lot because they didn't take off their clothes for a long time. The cotton-padded clothes were covered with lice, and when I reached out and grabbed them, my hands were covered with blood.

You know, this is a break! Although Sun Tzu's art of war says that the sorrowful soldiers will win, the soldiers are still very nervous when they are resting, and they have no energy to deal with the enemy when they really fight.

The life of a soldier is hard, and the life of a general is even more miserable.

Fighting the American army and fighting the Kuomintang are completely different things. It is getting easier and easier to fight the Kuomintang army. After a battle, our army can annihilate a division or even an army of the national army, but it is getting harder and harder to fight the American army!

The cold and clever American army is very good at summing up experience in the war. After the war, they basically found out the weaknesses of the volunteers, such as insufficient firepower and supplies. Although under the desperate resistance of the volunteers, the two sides formed a strength contrast on the battlefield, but the casualties of the volunteers in the five battles were gradually increasing, and how to defend them became a difficult problem for the volunteers.

During this period, Commander-in-Chief Peng returned to China and reported this situation to Chairman Mao. He proposed to the chairman that the Third Corps led by Chen Geng should enter the DPRK again.

At that time, Chen Geng's injured left leg recurred on the battlefield, and it was too painful to walk. After several discussions, Chen Geng first sent his troops to the battlefield. After a while, Chen Geng just got off his leg and went to North Korea on crutches.

After the fifth battle, several battlefields were defeated. When Chen Geng arrived, Peng Zong was holding a collective meeting of commanders and political commissars.

At the meeting, Peng Dehuai first made a self-criticism, and then called Yuan, commander of the 60th Army and political commissar of the 60th Army, and criticized him by name, saying, "As a leader, how did you perform in commanding such a campaign? A teacher said that if you lose it, you will lose it! "

Commander Peng's straightforward personality, clear merits and demerits, coupled with his hot temper, mercilessly criticized the generals.

The more manager Peng said, the angrier he became, and his voice grew louder and louder: "Anyone who is not in command will be dismissed for investigation and military punishment!"

The summary of this battle will begin after lunch at noon and will not end until the sun goes down.

Seeing that Mr. Peng was very angry, everyone dared not say more.

At that time, Deng Hua took Chen Geng's clothes and motioned for him to do something to persuade Peng Zong.

Chen Geng had this idea for a long time. He stood up and smiled and said to Mr. Peng, "Boss, we have been driving for so long. You see, everyone is red in the face, and they dare not go out for a convenience. My stomach complained too. I'm really hungry. You are angry, too. You must be tired. I suggest that we all take a break. Convenient and convenient. We should fill our stomachs. They won't have the strength to continue training them until they are full, don't you think? "

Commander Peng, still angry, faced Chen Geng's smiling face like a punch on cotton, and suddenly lost his strength.

Commander Peng also realized Chen Geng's kindness. He knew that Chen Geng was giving himself a step down, so he turned to Chen Geng and said, "You are hungry in Chen Geng, and everyone must be hungry. Let's eat first!" Say that finish got up and left.

Watching Mr. Peng leave, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Commander Chen, you are really a living Buddha. I really peed! "

Chen Geng smiled and said humorously, "Then don't hurry, don't let go and pee your pants again!"

The joke made everyone laugh, and the tense atmosphere vanished in an instant.

During his visit to the DPRK, Chen Geng not only helped Commander Peng adjust the atmosphere of the meeting, but actually helped the volunteers to completely solve the current predicament.

As I said before, the previous tactics of the volunteers were active attacks. As the American army became more and more aware of the style of play of the volunteers, the war entered a stalemate stage. If we don't change our operational strategy, the losses of the volunteers will be even greater.

But how to change the battle plan?

Peng Zong and people are anxious. Mr. Peng is so anxious that he can't sleep well and eat well all day. Coupled with continuous high-intensity work, Mr. Peng's enteritis recurred and his body was unbearable.

In desperation, Mr. Peng had to return to China to recuperate for a period of time. Before he left, he appointed Chen Geng to take over the Volunteers in an all-round way and take charge of all command work.

Chen Geng, who returned to China for the first time to handle domestic affairs, had to enter the DPRK for the third time.

After Chen Geng arrived in North Korea, he went to the front. He found that the U.S. military relied on its advanced weapons to tilt a large number of bombs at the volunteer positions and often carried out raids. Many times volunteers can't hide, and the losses are very serious.

When Chen Geng arrived at the Third Company of the Twelfth Army, he found that the soldiers of the Third Company dug a "cat's ear hole" on the mountain at the front of the position in order to fight against the enemy, and later connected the two connected "cat's ear holes" to form a horseshoe-shaped small tunnel.

Whenever the American army suddenly attacks, the soldiers enter the tunnel, and only a few sentries observe the enemy's movements. The American army thought that all the volunteers were killed and rushed forward. At this time, the volunteer soldiers jumped up from the tunnel and started hand-to-hand combat with the US military. The brave win in the narrow road, and the American troops in the melee could not take advantage at all, so they were quickly beaten back by the volunteers.

"Whose invention is this?" Chen Geng looked a little excited.

"Our third company commander." Chen Geng followed the soldiers' eyes. He was a simple and honest man.

"I used to play Japan in Jiaozhuanghu, a suburb of Beijing. At that time, our militia dug this thing. "

"good! Ok! " Chen Geng smiled from ear to ear. "The soldiers who defeated the Japanese devils came to fight the American devils again. This will definitely happen. "

Inspired by the soldier, Chen Geng immediately thought of the Huaihai Campaign, and soon held a meeting at the commander level to promote tunnel digging to the commanders. Later, he put forward his own idea to improve the "cat's ear hole" and improve the tunnel system, so that it can not only defend against the enemy, but also be strong, waterproof and antivirus, and even have a restaurant, a toilet and a functional area for storing rear materials.

In those days, the sound of shovels and pickaxes would be heard in the volunteer positions at dusk. Under the command of Chen Geng, volunteers armed with hoes, shovels and pickaxes are building fortifications non-stop.

Shovel picks and chisels also became the most expensive items at that time. When Chen Geng learned this, he said with a smile: "The weapons of the US military are all' good things'! The shells and bombs they hit, the steel on them is very good, and we can use it as waste! "

Inspired by Chen Geng, everyone melted the steel on the shell and made it into building tools, even better than those shipped from China.

Dealing with the enemy with the enemy's things is a classic case of dealing with a man as he deals with you!

The construction was quickly completed and its function was quickly verified.

Chen Geng, accompanied by his teacher, walked into a tunnel. The tunnel is about 10 meter long, and the wall is also designed with a niche platform with candles inserted on it. The ground is covered with straw, with some necessities and materials, and further inside are ammunition and various weapons.

"This is a garrison cave," the teacher introduced to Chen Geng. "In a recent war, the soldiers stayed in the cave for 10 days and 10 nights, and the enemies above set fire to it, poisoned it, breathed fire, and even hurriedly dug a hole on the top of the head, but all failed."

"The soldiers are not worried about' eating' or' lack of ammunition' in the tunnel. In the past, there was a shortage of materials at the front. Soldiers often fry noodles with snow, and now they can drink soybean milk and eat fried dough sticks in the tunnel, which truly implements Chairman Mao's "eat well first!" "

The U.S. military has enough backup, and they never limit the number of bombs used. However, they found that the original plan to kill a volunteer soldier with 40 bombs has now turned into killing a volunteer with 660 bombs.

There is often such a scene on the Korean battlefield: the US military bombed in series, thinking that there would be no more living people in the volunteer positions, and swaggering forward, only to be beaten out of the water by the volunteers who came out of nowhere and fled.

The American army was puzzled and almost collapsed!

On the other hand, the mental state of volunteers is getting better and better! No matter how many shells and firepower the American army throws, it can't hurt the volunteers.

In the late period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the tunnel became a solid umbrella for volunteer soldiers!

Subsequently, Chen Geng held a meeting of the chiefs of staff of various armies. At the meeting, he suggested that all troops unite tunnels and field fortifications to form an indestructible defense system.

In this regard, Chen Geng made a concrete summary. He said: "Although the US military has advantages in equipment and technology, we have resisted their attacks. Now they can learn and are forced to build fortifications. Our future operational strategy is to concentrate artillery fire on the attacking enemy with the help of tunnels. At the same time, we must also take the initiative to attack the US troops in other positions to destroy and disperse their troops and artillery. "

After Chen Geng's opinion was sent back to China, Chairman Mao praised it many times: "Can you hold the position that was shot down? This problem has also been solved. The solution is to make a hole. "

According to statistics, until the Korean armistice, Chinese people's Volunteer Army has been building tunnels of various sizes, with a total length of1290km, which is equivalent to a stone tunnel from Lianyungang to Xi 'an in China. The total length of trenches dug by volunteers is 6,240 kilometers, which is much longer than the famous Great Wall of Wan Li in China! After the whole project is finished, you can use the earth wall of 1 cubic meter to circle the earth once and a half!

Later, after learning this data, the US military commander said with regret: "This is not a war, it is to build the Great Wall!"
