History cannot be extinguished nor tampered with, and the reason why we have today's peaceful, happy, and tranquil life is that countless ancestors threw their heads and spilled their blood in exchange for it. In this battle, we remember most deeply the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. To this day, when people recall the battles of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, they can't help but burst into tears, of which Chosin Lake is particularly tragic and most moving.
In the Battle of Chosin Lake, a number of heroes emerged, who still held their positions despite the temperature of minus thirty degrees, of which Yang Gensi and the Ice Sculpture Company were some of them. After receiving orders from their superiors, they insisted on fighting until the last moment and did not leave their positions. So why are they so stubborn and will not retreat until they die? Maybe we can get a glimpse of them from their location.
First, Yang Gensi
There was such a person in the Battle of Changjianghu. He is very good at using his brain, in the face of war he always gives advice, for one war after another he comes up with ideas, and in every war he always rushes to the forefront, never afraid of sacrifice, no remorse. The people affectionately called him a hero of the battle.
The most memorable one was when our army captured a bunker. Our army was always unable to attack for a long time, so he took more than twenty bombs and rushed forward, one after another threw them on the gate of the bunker, and finally blew open the gate of the bunker, and our army rushed in, but when it fought inside, it encountered a bad situation.
I have to say that the enemy's firepower is really too strong, and our army is only millet plus rifles, and the equipment is extremely simple. It was he who once again chose to rush forward, holding two grenades to continuously injure the enemy's machine guns. Unfortunately, his face was injured and disfigured, but he did not give up because of this, but instead simply bandaged it with gauze and continued to devote himself to the battle, and finally the effort paid off, and our country won the victory in this war epidemic.
Chosin Lake is located in North Korea, and North Korea borders our country to the northeast, and the US military wants to use North Korea as a springboard on the grounds of conditions to overthrow Korea and then attack china. After Chairman Mao Zedong saw this tactic of the US military, he promptly reflected and formed the Volunteer Army to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea Yang Gensi joined the ranks of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea without hesitation.
Yang Gensi led his men to his position, and then arranged his troops, in the weather of minus thirty degrees and Chosin Lake in the northeast region, which was extremely cold in winter. They wore only very thin clothes, not even a decent pair of shoes, but they remained there motionless for three days and three nights.
How much perseverance and courage it took to persevere, because at that time our country was extremely scarce in materials, and they could not even eat enough. But for the sake of their own troops, for the sake of peace for the sake of their homeland, they are willing to suffer this. He was ordered to use all his strength to block the American attack from this road. In fact, many people can't help but think, there should be many roads at that time, why only block this one road?
The main reason for this was that the U.S. military was driving cars and tanks at the time, and these weapons could not be driven away without taking the road. Therefore, the US military can only choose to take the big road, not the small road, and once our army has sealed this road, the US army will not be able to advance to reach their destination. For this reason, our army can only fight hard, no matter how cold they endure, no matter how hungry they endure, they choose the guardians who swear to die.

The strength of the US army and our army is very different, in addition to military strength, the number of people is also very different. At that time, in order to resist the advance of the US army, our army arranged multiple divisions, while the US army had only one division. However, this battle was unexpected, and our army's defeat did not stop the advance of the American army, so people can't help but have many questions.
Why is this happening? The main reason for this is that although the US army has only one division, the number of people arranged by one of them in one division is far greater than the number of our army. And its equipment is very sophisticated, and in stark contrast to this is our army. Not only is our army not well-equipped, but even the food and clothing of the soldiers is a problem. Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand why our army still lost the battle.
Therefore, our army had to adopt the tactic of encirclement and annihilation, that is, to divide the AMERICAN army into two parts and attack them separately, and the two armies could not rescue each other after being separated. This made the U.S. military feel very desperate, but there was nothing they could do.
This is the thinking of Chinese, the thinking of Chinese is different from the thinking of americans, and the United States is angry every time they see this tactic, but they cannot do anything about us. In the early battles, the US army was defeated one after another, and later even the Korean army learned our tactics, but in the Battle of Chosin Lake, the US army relied on weapons, military strength and numbers, and had a certain understanding of our tactics, and this time our country lost the battle.
In the battle of Chosin Lake, the number of our volunteers was very small, and perhaps many comrades-in-arms would say that since the tactics adopted earlier divided the Us army into several large pieces, why not take a line to charge? To put it bluntly, the two sides are adding firepower to the points of intensity.
However, The equipment of our country at that time was very imperfect, and the millet plus rifle adopted an intensive team in time, which could not withstand the enemy's submachine gun. The battle of Chosin Lake was also reluctant to be mentioned by later generations, because in this battle, the enemy and our armies lost a lot of talents and personnel.
At the Battle of Chosin Lake, people would rather starve to death than leave their squad, and there was a company affectionately known as the Ice Sculpture Company. With amazing perseverance, they have been sticking to their posts, no matter how cold the weather is minus thirty degrees, I believe that people now feel very cold, and at that time they only wore a thin layer of clothing, but in order for the people of the whole country to be in a safe and happy environment, they are also willing to sacrifice themselves, so they will prefer not to shoot, but also to hold the position.
epilogue
China's peace today was not easy to come by. Therefore, today's young people have not experienced war, have not experienced the depths of the water, do not comment on the war at will, we must know how many tens of thousands of compatriots China lost in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and the War of Liberation. So today we please walk and cherish, do not forget history, and strive to be strong.
