The background of this film, a little-known history, was launched on the Jingang River, also known as the Battle of Jincheng.
Battle of Jincheng. This is the last battle of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. This campaign was the only battle-scale position attack by Chinese people's Volunteer Army, which wiped out more than 53,000 people and recovered more than 160 square kilometers, effectively cooperating with the armistice negotiations. This battle is also the historical prototype of the popular movie Sacrifice.
Jincheng battle occurred on 1953. At this time, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is coming to an end. With the bloody battle between the Chinese and Korean soldiers and civilians, the overall situation of the war has been decided, and both China and the United States are ready for peace talks.
However, South Korea was angered by American recognition, and the Li Chengwan Group was very angry. He doesn't want to let his ambition be dashed. Just as the Korean Armistice Agreement was about to be signed, the ruling clique of South Li Chengwan, with the connivance of the United States, forcibly detained about 27,000 prisoners of war of the Korean People's Army in the name of "local release" in an attempt to undermine the realization of the Korean Armistice.
Li Chengwan's arrogant attitude also annoyed the volunteers. On June 20, Peng, commander of the Volunteers, suggested postponing the signing of the armistice agreement, which dealt another blow to South Korea. Chairman Mao instructed on 2 1:
In this context, jincheng battle started!
Facing the stubborn resistance of the South Korean clique, the volunteers made full preparations. In order to effectively destroy the enemy's fortifications and ensure the smooth breakthrough and deep fighting of the infantry, the volunteers began to deploy troops in Jincheng in late June.
According to statistics, our army concentrated more than 1 100 guns and 20 tanks. 2,000 vehicles were used to grab 6.5438+0.5 million tons of materials day and night, and the equipment for crossing the river was distributed to the participating troops. Arms supply is sufficient, soldiers' morale is high, and three years of arduous struggle are coming to an end. Everyone is gearing up, ready to convince South Korea to lose in the fullest state.
1953 July 13, the mighty battle of Jincheng officially started. Let's follow the video to review this perfect ending battle. At 2 1 that day, the 20th Corps took the lead in attacking. With the support of more than 1000 guns, the ministries and the 24th Army of the 9th Corps launched a fierce assault on each other's defensive positions. Our army was on a roll, and all of them broke through their front positions in an hour.
After the breakthrough of the Western Group, it developed rapidly in depth. Its right-wing 203rd Division quickly annihilated 1 Battalion 522.438+0 highland defenders. Then, the main force of the division developed an attack in the direction of Fang Tongli. This time, everyone adopted circuitous tactics and gradually infiltrated. 14 At 2 o'clock on June 4th, the attack on the Puppet Manchurian Capital Division 1 regiment headquarters played an important role in the division's rapid completion of its first task.
Later, the circuitous detachment intercepted the fleeing puppet troops in the night and wiped out most of the US 555th Artillery Battalion and most of the 2nd Battalion of the Puppet Army Capital Division Mecha Regiment. By 6: 00 on June 4th, the 65438 Division had occupied the area north of Fangtongli, Lishidong, Beitingling and Xiazhen County.
After the breakthrough of the 204th Division on the left wing, the 552.8 highland garrison 1 battalion was quickly wiped out and reached the foot of Yuefeng Mountain at 4: 30 on 14. 130 after the first division captured the 424.2 highland, the attack on Huofeng Mountain was postponed because the defenders in the tunnel were not cleared.
After the breakthrough of China Regiment, the Left Wing 199 Division encountered strong resistance from the other side and made slow progress. At 2300 hours, the right-wing 200 Division annihilated the garrison 1 battalion in the southwest highland of Guandeli, and then developed in depth. 65, 438+04, 6 o'clock, occupied Longyuanli and Dongshanli, split the defense of the pseudo-6 division, and threatened and shaken Jiaoyanshan and Huofengshan.
Dongqun (No.2 Army 1 regiment) developed slowly after the breakthrough because of insufficient preparation time and narrow frontal attack. 14 At 6 o'clock on June 4th, it only occupied the line from Ruwenli to 472.3 highland west of the Northern Han River, but failed to quickly enter Xi 'an and control the Tonghua-Chuan Highway in Jincheng.
At 0: 00 on June 5th and 4th, 438+04, the 24th Army of the 9th Corps annihilated 2 battalions, 4 companies and most of the other 65 and 438+0 battalions defending Zhuzidong Nanshan and Xingting Xishan, and then attacked Qiaotianli and 432.8 highland. By the dawn of 14, the volunteers had broken through the basic positions of the western and middle sections of the puppet Capital Division and the left wing of the puppet Sixth Division.
In order to expand the results, the 20 th Corps attacked Yuefeng Mountain from the West Group. China regiment quickly captured JiaoYan mountain; East Group quickly occupied 585.2 highland and Xiaxian county. The 200th Division of China Regiment made a dash to the south. At 0800 hours, Longyuanli and Dongshanli crossed Jinchengchuan and occupied Lichuandong at 18. 199 division completely occupied jiaoyan mountain on 10: 25 and wiped out most of the defenders.
12, Dongqun occupied 585.2 highland; At 17, one part crossed Jinchengchuan to the west, and joined China regiment at Lichuandong, while the other part occupied 46 1.9 highland. 17: 40, the western group successively occupied Huofeng Mountain and Yuefeng Mountain.
13: 30, the 24th Army of the 9th Corps occupied the 432.8 highland and the area north of Yanggu, and took control of the upper and lower Jiujingjian highways. At this point, the 20th Corps, with the cooperation of the 9th Corps 1 division, after 2 1 hour of fierce fighting, occupied the defense zone of the puppet troops with three divisions, wiped out more than 4000 US troops/kloc-0, settled the front south of Jincheng and completed the first phase of the campaign.
This time, starting from the overall situation of the war and considering the subsequent negotiations, the volunteers did not attack in depth as usual, but implemented the guiding principle of "slow and steady progress." On the one hand, consolidate the victory, on the other hand, respond to the enemy's counterattack at any time.
14, 17, Commander-in-Chief Peng ordered the 20th Corps to be ready to meet the enemy in the existing battlefield, and then sent several other troops to develop southward while the enemy was in chaos.
Facts have proved that our army's decision is correct. This southern strategy really lived up to everyone's expectations. By 16, the positions of Heiyuntuling and Baiyanshan in the North Han River had been occupied successively, and they pushed southward for about 8 kilometers, posing a serious threat to Jincheng-Huachuan Highway, the north-south traffic trunk line of the Puppet Manchurian Second Army Defence Zone.
China regiment continued to develop its offensive with 135 division's 1 regiment and 1 battalion. 15 occupied the unknown highland and back cave south of 602.2 highland in the morning. After repelling a unit of the Puppet Army, the Western Regiment and the 24th Army of the 9th Corps pushed their positions to the north of Xinmudong, Beiting Ridge and Jian Zhen Highway.
16, the 24th Army of the 9th Corps captured 537.7 highland north of Jinhua, Gedongbei Mountain and 597.9 highland. The balance of victory is obviously tilted towards the volunteers.
The development of the offensive campaign south of Jincheng, a volunteer army, is extremely unfavorable to the "United Nations Army". Although knowing that the defeat is set, the unyielding United Nations Army still wants to make a final effort.
Clark, commander-in-chief of the invading North Korean army, and Taylor, commander of the Eighth Army of the United States, flew to the front and held a meeting of senior officers, claiming to launch the largest counterattack and recapture the lost territory. On the same day, the remnants of four divisions of the puppet army, three divisions of the American army and three divisions of the puppet army were assembled and launched an all-round counterattack.
On June 5438+07, the US Puppet Army concentrated the forces of six regiments, and with the support of more than 100 planes and a large number of artillery, stormed the front line of Heiyuntuling, Baiyan Mountain and 867 highland of the Volunteer East Group. Our army responded quickly, and the soldiers of the East Corps fought bloody battles and annihilated more than 3,000 of them. At the same time, Xiqun and the 24th Army of the 9th Corps also repelled the counterattacks of the US Puppet Army 1 Regiment and 1 Battalion.
By July 27th, the regiments * * * had repelled the US Puppet Army 1000 times, which made the US Puppet Army pay a huge price and occupied only one position in Beishan-Julishi. The 20th Corps of Volunteers basically wiped out the South Korean Capital Division and dealt a devastating blow to the other three divisions. In this campaign, our army wiped out 52,783 enemies, including 2,836 captured enemies, 85 enemy planes shot down, 34 planes 1 frame, 34 tanks, 23 cars1vehicle, 245 guns of all kinds and a large amount of ammunition.
Through the last battle in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the volunteers advanced 192.6 square kilometers, giving a fatal blow to the South Korean army.
/kloc-After the victory of the Battle on 0/5, 1953, on July 27th, the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, which lasted for three years, finally officially came to an end. The two sides moved from the battlefield to the negotiating table and started a truce and peace talks.
On the same day, the armistice agreement was signed and jincheng battle ended successfully.
