After the U.S.-ROK coalition was repulsed to the Busan Defense Line by the Korean People's Army, the United States saw that the situation was not good and sent MacArthur, who was good at amphibious landing operations in World War II, to lead the "United Nations Army" to regain the initiative on the Korean Peninsula. So after the Inchon landing, the logistics of the Korean People's Army was cut off, and the "United Nations Army" led by the United States quickly attacked and occupied most of north Korea.
The war on the Yalu River burned out, and the Chinese volunteer army fought to defend the country and enter the DPRK, showing the majesty of the Chinese soldiers and winning the final victory.
The Polar Bear Regiment was annihilated
The Battle of Chosin Lake was one of the most arduous battles experienced by the Chinese volunteers on the Korean battlefield, when it was winter, the area around Chosin Lake was covered with heavy snow, the temperature was only a few tens of degrees below zero, and many soldiers were frostbitten. Such a harsh combat environment did not repel the will of the volunteers to fight tenaciously, but always listened to the orders of their superiors to prepare for battle, and the polar bear regiment, which was called an elite ace by the US army, was annihilated by the volunteers in the Battle of Chosin Lake.
After the Polar Bear Regiment was annihilated, Lieutenant Colonel Bill of the Automobile Battalion of the US First Marine Division also infiltrated the remains of the battlefield points, and as a result, they were collectively watched by our army, so what happened to this US lieutenant colonel?
The Polar Bear Regiment is the 31st Regiment of the 7th Infantry Division of the United States Army, with a total strength of more than 3,000 people, equipped with various machine guns and tank artillery. After the volunteers fought the second battle, the Polar Bear Regiment was attacked by the Volunteer 27th Army at night in Xinxingli, and the unprepared Polar Bear Regiment was caught off guard by the Volunteers due to the polar bear regiment's negligence at night. The polar bear regimental flag was also captured by the volunteers, and the regimental commander McLean was shot and captured.
The commander of the 1st Battalion, 32nd Regiment, 7th Infantry Division, usain army, Fez, was planning to join the Polar Bear Regiment, but when he arrived at his destination, he found that the Polar Bear Regiment had been defeated by the Volunteers, so he united the remnants of the force and became the new commander of the 31st Regiment.
Fiss continued to lead the remaining soldiers in the breakthrough, because the American army under the fierce attack of the volunteer army, the casualties were very heavy, the breakthrough situation became more and more unfavorable, and finally did not break through the volunteer line, Feith was killed in the fierce battle, only a few hundred people escaped across the ice of Chosin Lake to the position of the US Marine First Division in Hagaru-
The U.S. lieutenant colonel infiltrated the battlefield
Lieutenant Colonel Bill of the Automobile Transport Battalion of the U.S. First Marine Division saw that there were many American wounded moving on the ice surface of Chosin Lake in the lower corner, so he sent personnel to meet them. After Lieutenant Colonel Bill launched a search and rescue operation on the ice of Chosin Lake, in order to see if there were more wounded who needed to be rescued, he expanded the search and rescue area in a car and went to the site where the Polar Bear Regiment was surrounded. When he got out of the car and sneaked into the battlefield to see if there were any American wounded, the surrounding volunteers were actually watching his every move.
He found that as soon as he drew his pistol, the volunteers who were watching him would pull out their pistols, so Lieutenant Colonel Bill put down his guns and began to check whether there were any American wounded around him. After the inspection, Lieutenant Colonel Bill finally returned safely to his position. Returning to his position, Lieutenant Colonel Bill conveyed to his superiors what he had seen and heard at the site where the Polar Bear Regiment was surrounded, and also reported to his superiors the number of American remains counted.
Lieutenant Colonel Bill's ability to sneak into the battlefield and be discovered by our army, after being found by our army, was able to return safely after counting the number of American casualties, which made the American army feel a little incredible. Many people praised Lieutenant Colonel Bill for his boldness and great contribution to the rescue of the wounded of the American army.
However, for our army, lieutenant colonel Bill was not shot, and it was also felt that his purpose was not military operations, but to count the American soldiers who had died on the battlefield. Moreover, he was the only one on the battlefield, and he did not take up arms to provoke, and in the face of such a situation, the volunteer army directly regarded him as an ordinary soldier of the American army who went to the rescue, and did not stop it.
epilogue
The experience of the Polar Bear Regiment caused heavy losses to the American troops, and such an elite team was defeated by the volunteers in the Battle of Chosin Lake, and the morale of the American army was deeply affected. This also reflects the fighting spirit of the Chinese volunteer army without fear of difficulties, and even the strongest and most elite ace army has disintegrated in front of the volunteer army, which also encourages the courage of the volunteer army to continue to fight on the Korean battlefield.
