After the People’s Volunteers entered the DPRK, Peng Dehuai commanded the volunteers to annihilate more than 15,000 American, British, and South Korean troops on the east and west fronts, repelling the enemy from the Yalu River to the south of the Qingchuan River, and crushed MacArthur’s "Before Thanksgiving Day." The plan to occupy the whole of Korea” stabilized the Korean war and brought North Korea back to life on the line of life and death. In the first round of the contest, MacArthur lost.
After the first battle ended, Peng Dehuai took the initiative to retreat to lure the enemy deeper. MacArthur remembers whether he can eat or not, and still arrogantly can turn the tide of the battle. However, he met Peng Dehuai. In the second battle in a week’s history, more than 36,000 "United Nations forces" were wiped out, among which more than 24,000 were American troops, and Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, was liberated. The "United Nations Army" was defeated to the "38th Line". In the South, the Korean War was completely reversed.
This time, MacArthur was miserable. U.S. News Agency commented: This is "the greatest defeat in the history of the U.S. Army." Members of Congress scolded MacArthur as the "worst fool" and "stupid commander." MacArthur's prestige plummeted.
Subsequently, the third battle was launched. The Chinese and North Korean armies pushed MacArthur's front from the "38th parallel" to near the 37th parallel north latitude and wiped out more than 19,000 enemies. Naturally, MacArthur lost again this time.
On January 25, 1951, the fourth battle started. This battle lasted for three months and wiped out more than 78,000 enemies. MacArthur was once again defeated. The United States could no longer bear MacArthur's defeat on the Korean battlefield and dismissed him. MacArthur returned home sadly, but more interestingly, MacArthur never knew that the Volunteer Commander with whom he was fighting was Peng Dehuai. He always thought it was Lin Biao.
One year before MacArthur's death, he left this advice: "Whoever wants to fight the Chinese Army must be sick." His fist came out of the truth, and he was completely convinced.
