Recently, the popular TV series "Chosin Lake" has exceeded 2 billion at the box office, and the protagonist has many big stars, the most famous of which is Wu Jing. Wu Jing has acted in many TV dramas in recent years, most of which are patriotic TV series and movies, from the wolf warrior - Chosin Lake, Wu Jing's fame is getting bigger and bigger every day.
The popular broadcast of Chosin Lake also has to remind us of the great war 70 years ago, when volunteer soldiers braved the cold and hungry stomachs to rush into Korea in order to defeat the American devils and give the Korean people a peace.
The Ice Sculpture Company is a plot in Chosin Lake, and it is also a real thing that has happened in history, and many people who have not understood the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea may have a question in their hearts: Why did the comrades of the Volunteer Army wear only single clothes to fight in Korea? Can't you even wear cotton clothes?
Today, we will take this question with us and approach together the great war to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
The Commander-in-Chief of the United States, MacArthur, was very arrogant, as the most powerful country in the world at that time, they hardly paid attention to any country, especially the newly established New China.
Therefore, in the first battle of the volunteer army into Korea, the US United Nations army suffered a big loss, and MacArthur, who faced this loss, thought: This time it is just Chinese good luck, we must hurry to end the battle and let my children go home before Halloween.
This sentence also challenged our bottom line, Peng Dehuai was very angry, but the number of troops in his hands was indeed not much, so he urgently asked the central authorities for help: the US army and other UN troops are numerous and well-equipped, and although we have organized a battle that is successful, the counterattack of the US army may be imminent.
In such an urgent situation, the central government also quickly pulled the Ninth Corps to the Korean battlefield. The commander of the Ninth Corps, Song Shilun, also known as the Commander of the Whirlwind, once fought from the northeast to Hainan Island.
When he received the order, Song Shilun was very puzzled in his heart, and the main mission of the Ninth Corps after liberation was to liberate Taiwan. He would not refute any of the orders of his superiors, and after receiving the order, 15 members of the Ninth Corps marched to Korea. 150,000 people, there is no time to prepare winter clothes.

Faced with a very different climatic environment, Song Shilun decided to let Xu Shiyou, commander of the Shandong Military Region, buy some cotton clothes when he was resting in Shandong, and Xu Shiyou knew that his old comrades-in-arms had encountered difficulties, so he generously told Song Shilun: You can rest assured, I will do it as soon as possible.
Originally, it was planned to rest in Shandong for some time, but the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the US troops were all mechanized troops, so that when they rested, the other fraternal troops would be more dangerous on the Korean battlefield.
Xu Shiyou did his best to do this, but because it was just the founding of the country at that time, the conditions in Shandong were not very good, so Xu Shiyou could not raise 150,000 people to wear cotton clothes and pants in just a few days, so a few days later, the Ninth Corps continued to go to North Korea, Xu Shiyou was also very helpless.
By the time they reached the northeast, the soldiers had already felt too cold to bear, knowing that the cold in North Korea was much colder than in the northeast. In the face of these difficulties, Song Shilun and the warriors could only endure it at once, so that some cotton clothes collected in the Shandong region were not very effective, so there was only one pound of cotton in the local cotton clothes.
According to the severity of the cold on the Korean Peninsula, at least four pounds of cotton clothes, cotton pants, and cotton hats are needed to achieve the effect of cold.
However, the soldiers of the Ninth Corps never said a word of bitterness, and the deputy commander of the Northeast Military Region saw that many of the soldiers of the Ninth Corps were still wearing: single clothes and single pants, and he could not bear the discomfort in his heart, so he found the commander of the Ninth Corps, Song Shilun:
Old Song, you can't do this! You go to North Korea dressed like this, there is no way to fight, the weather alone can freeze you enough! You wait for me, I'll find you a way to find some cotton clothes and cotton pants!"
Song Shilun replied helplessly:
No, there can be no delay, the train here to go to North Korea is ready, and the central government orders us to enter the Korean area as quickly as possible.
He Jinnian said very angrily:
Anyway, give me at least three hours to wait!
In order to fear that Song Shilun would take the train to North Korea, he specifically told the driver that the train could not be driven without his orders, and even if it was to be driven, it would be three hours later. He Jinnian then immediately called the logistics of the Northeast Military Region and asked them to quickly assemble 50,000 military coats.
It didn't take long for the clothes to be handed over to the soldiers who were ready to go to the front, and although there were still tens of thousands of people without clothes, this was already the greatest ability of the Logistics Department of the Northeast Military Region.
Before leaving, Song Shilun gave He Jinnian a military salute, and He Jinnian returned one, and also took off his cotton clothes and gave them to the volunteer soldiers. The northeast officers and men on the platform also took off their cotton clothes and cotton hats and gave them to the volunteer soldiers in the carriage.
This scene is also remembered by many veterans, and this scene also appeared in the Chosin Lake movie!
The soldiers of the Ninth Corps were the main participants in the Battle of Chosin Lake, and they were starving and braving the cold. After receiving orders from your superiors, choose to obey. Standing still in the ice and snow, and finally becoming an ice sculpture, such a heroic figure moved us!
It is precisely because of these people that our life today is so comfortable. This great victory was bought with the blood of the volunteer soldiers, remember the blood battle of Chosin Lake, remember the loveliest people of that year!
