家园 on 老彭狠K了一顿26军

that's something I do not like Peng: there is clearly error by Song Shi-lun as well as as the logistics support. You should not blame your soldiers for leader's mistake.

差不多就把右倾的帽子摁在军师主官脑门上了。这个也许过头,

--Peng was later on "punished" as the 右倾 capitalist, anti-Mao chief. hehe. Really a payback treat. I do not know why those smart leaders can not sit down and just analyze the lesson based on the facts? There is no need to involve -ism in this kind of anlaysis. The military commanders should also take blame for their own poor decisions.

26th Army was stationed too far away from the battle line (80 km) as the reserve division. The heavy snow also slowed down its movement. Song Shi-lun was very arrogant: he totally ignored the impact of poor weather and had not prepared well in advance; he also underestimate Americans and believed that his two 20th/27th armies were more than enough to eliminate the whole 1st Marine Division.

In contrast, General Smith of the 1st Marine Division showed DUE PROFESSIONAL care as a professional military officer. He insisted to build one crucial airport in the Changjin reservior and was reprimanded by his boss Gen. Almond several times for building that airport.

That airport proved to be crucial to save so many American soldier's lives during the final withdrawal.

家父曾见到过现场缴获的野战口粮。而几个陆战团建制都在,也有足够的战斗人员,只是从阿尔蒙德以下,心理都垮了而已,完全不想打了,也不敢打了。--that's perspective from chinese. On the west side, American offense line was collapsing fast and the whole defense line is moving south-ward. What's the point of fighting on the east coast and risk being circulated by the whole Chinese army?

站在元山港周边的山岭上,看着港区军火库成千上万吨弹药销毁的冲天火光,九兵团的疲惫官兵虽然粮弹几乎罄尽,比对方还是多了些甚么--胜利者的气势。这个心情,数十年以后由家父道来,仿佛还就发生在昨天。

--there is a difference in values. Americans put soldier's life ahead of those supplies. For a rich and democratic nation like States, nobody will blame the president for losing tons of supplies, but he or she will lose big politically for losing thousands of lives.

That's also America's weakness.
