The American media previously released a set of photos, which were precious photo albums taken by war correspondents at the Battle of Chosin Lake. Recently, many Film and television tycoons in the United States have said that they want to make these contents into a documentary. We know that the Battle of Chosin Lake was very tragic, and these photos recorded the tragic scene on the battlefield at that time.
In this battle, the battle of Changjin Lake, when the weather was minus forty degrees, our East China disciples were wearing simple cotton clothes against the enemy. Some people say that we had a 7:1 demographic advantage in this battle, but at that time we were facing the US Tenth Army and the South Korean First Army, and at the beginning we did not have 150,000 all of them participating in the war. In the specific process of engagement, our advantage is 3:1, in fact, for ordinary battles 3:1 is quite advantageous, but at that time our material equipment was too poor, so it was still very difficult to fight with the enemy.
We know that in this war, the strength of the US military is very strong. Not to mention the comparison of combat effectiveness, in terms of logistics and transportation capabilities alone, the US military is far superior to the volunteer army at that time. How important battlefield supplies are to a war, I believe that everyone understands without saying much. Courage alone is not enough on the battlefield, it also requires strength, and the knife is no faster than a bullet. In the Battle of Chosin Lake, the U.S. military used its logistical capabilities to the extreme. The volunteers could only make up for the huge gap in equipment with their tenacious will and fearless spirit of life and death.
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Battle of Chosin Lake prevented the United Nations army led by the US military from occupying North Korea, and played a crucial role in the second battle of the Korean War, but the casualties in the Battle of Chosin Lake were also extremely heavy. Because of the lack of logistics and medical supplies, the Chinese Volunteer Army was very high in mortality compared with the United Nations Army, and the severe cold weather at that time also made the attrition of the People's Volunteer Army more serious in terms of combat readiness conditions, according to the military history and logistical support records of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, in the Battle of Chosin Lake, the Twenty-seventh Army lost a total of more than 19,000 people, of which 8,839 died in the battle, because of the severe cold caused by the battle losses of more than 10,600 people, The Twentieth Army reduced its combatants to about 20,000 men, of whom more than 4,400 were killed, about 2,900 were wounded, 764 were missing or captured, and more than 11,000 were frostbitten. Although the Twenty-sixth Army later participated in the battle, it is impossible to accurately count the loss of casualties, but from the rough statistics of the battle casualties of about 5,000 people, frostbite and loss of about 10,000 people on the United Army side, according to the United States in the post-war data released, in the entire process of the Battle of Chosin Lake, a total of more than 13,000 people were reduced, of which 2,100 died, about 300 were captured, and the rest were minor frostbite and war wounds were also healed and recovered. The comparison of casualties at the Battle of Chosin Lake shows that the losses of the Chinese Volunteer Army were four to one, and the death ratio was about five to one. Chinese Volunteers paid a terrible price while driving American troops out of North Korea.
