After the end of World War II, China entered a brief period of peace, and the delay in the stationing of U.S. troops in Japan is not a good signal no matter how you look at it. Sure enough, when the war on the Korean Peninsula was nearing its end, the US military intervened, and on the surface, the US military had only one purpose, that is, to help South Korea defeat North Korea, but in fact, the United States was drunk and did not want to drink. On October 19, 1950, the US military occupied Pyongyang, and soon after, the Dandong region of our country was bombed by US aircraft, and a great war was imminent.
That night, the Chinese Volunteer Army crossed the Yalu River, and only 6 days later, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea officially began. On 25 October, the Volunteers launched a surprise attack on the "United Nations Army", which not only stabilized the situation on the Korean Peninsula, but also annihilated 15,000 enemies. Within 10 days, the second battle arrived, and the volunteers set the decisive battle in the Chosin Lake area, which was a seductive operation, and once the enemy fell into the trap, it would suffer an unprecedented and painful blow. However, this is an extremely dangerous move, because the equipment of the two sides is too disparate, and if you want to achieve the expected results, you have to pay it twice.
Fortunately, the volunteers won a great victory, and a regiment of American troops was annihilated, and they had to retreat to safety. After this battle, the war situation was reversed, and the confidence of the US military began to waver. However, the Battle of Chosin Lake was carried out in a very harsh environment, in the ice and snow of minus 30 or 40 degrees, the volunteer army wore single clothes, lying motionless on the snow, freezing and killing more than 20,000 people, which is the famous "ice sculpture company". Now that 60 years have passed, the volunteer soldiers of the "Ice Sculpture Company" have gradually "withered", and whenever they recall the scenes of that year, the 86-year-old Zhou Quandi will have tears in his eyes, because he is one of the witnesses.
Zhou Quandi, born in 1934 in a small mountain village in Sichuan, has four siblings, of which he is the youngest. In order to have a bite to eat, Zhou Quandi's 2 older brothers carried the burden of life very early, and the only thing they could do was to let their younger brother grow up smoothly, and it was best to learn some knowledge of Guangzong Yaozu. At the age of 10, Zhou Quandi was sent to a private school, he was the hope of the whole family, and everyone was working hard for him to study. However, unexpectedly, Zhou Quandi was arrested by the Kuomintang in April 1949, and the Kuomintang entered the door and said: Either "three dings draw one" or give money. In desperation, Zhou Quandi had to stand up, although he was young, but for the sake of his parents and family, he could only harden his scalp.
That year, Zhou Quandi was only 15 years old, he did not understand the domestic situation, and only hoped that he could come back alive after going to the battlefield. However, Zhou Quandi was lucky, because after the liberation of the whole country, his Kuomintang troops were also disbanded, and he was incorporated into the 26th Army of the Sanye 9th Corps of the People's Liberation Army, and has been training in Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places for several months. On October 25, 1950, Zhou Quandi's unit began to march toward North Korea, and when he was about to arrive at the border, he received some equipment and food, at which time he learned that the original task of the unit was to resist the United States and aid Korea, and it was no wonder that he had to practice climbing the mountain desperately before.
After entering the DPRK, Zhou Quandi's mood was very anxious, and after half a month of rapid marching, his unit finally reached the Chosin Lake area. Unfortunately, Zhou Quandi just caught up with the extremely cold weather in North Korea, and the thin cotton clothes and rubber shoes on his body were not enough to withstand the cold, and the task he received was to snipe on the ground. According to the plan, the American troops would be lured to this place in the near future, and all they had to do was lie on the snow and ambush, of course, in order to avoid being noticed by the reconnaissance plane, Zhou Quandi must remain motionless, otherwise he would lose everything.
In the harsh environment of minus 40 degrees, Zhou Quandi felt that time had passed incomparably long, he had a short time on his body, if he couldn't stay up, he would eat a bite, and when he was thirsty, he would stuff the snow into his mouth, even if he wanted to go to the toilet, he could only lie on the snow to solve it. After waiting for 3 days, the US army finally arrived as promised, but after the charge horn sounded, Zhou Quandi could no longer stand up. It turned out that Zhou Quandi's hands and feet had been severely frostbitten, and he could only struggle in the sound of fighting, and the shells fell one after another around him, and his heart was extremely complicated, and he wanted to die as well as to kill the enemy.
After the battle, Zhou Quandi still had a breath left, so he was rescued, and in order to save his life, the doctor amputated him. After Zhou Quandi woke up, he gradually accepted this fact, although his wish to kill the enemy with his own hands could not be realized, but his comrades-in-arms had already done it for him. For decades, Zhou Quandi has worked hard to absorb cultural knowledge, and he has worked hard to learn various skills in order to live better. Nowadays, whenever the battle song sounds, Zhou Quandi's eyes will become fierce, although he has become a disabled person, but this unforgettable memory is forever engraved in his mind.
