There is no doubt about the great significance of the victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and even today, seventy-one years later, it still has a far-reaching impact and is a milestone for China to move towards the international stage.
In a certain sense, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a touchstone for people to witness whether New China could move steadily and far, and it was during the Battle of Chosin Lake that the US military really understood a problem.
Heroes of the Battle of Chosin Lake rewrite history
In recent years, there have been more and more film and television dramas on the theme of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and they have also become closer and closer to life. In particular, with the "Chosin Lake" film as the center, the positive energy propaganda that promotes the spirit of internationalism and heroism has begun to enter people's lives.
From the perspective of historical materialism, the masses of the people will always be the driving force of history and the meta-driving force for rewriting history. Especially in the Korean battlefield with the Battle of Chosin Lake as the core, the tragic and heroic actions of the volunteers not only rewrote the korean war situation, but also dealt a heavy blow to US imperialism, and even became a psychological shadow and nightmare of the US military.
The second campaign at the end of 1950 was very important for the course of the war, and gluing was a distinctive feature of the whole war. In other words, whoever can stick to the end is the winner.
The commander of the Yang Gensi Company of the 27th Army of the Volunteer Army led the last platoon of fighters to hold on to the bottom end of the pocket in the lower corner of the lake of Chosin, which was the bottom end of the pocket, and the small highland where Yang Gensi was located was the only passage for the US army to retreat south, and the strategic position was extremely important. Ten kilometers away is the outer field where the US troops withdrew from Chosin Lake, where hundreds of thousands of US tanks were gathered.
Holding the small high ground is to hold the lifeblood of the US army, so the intensity of the battle can be imagined. After holding out for a day and a night, Yang Gensi was left with only one heavy machine gunner. In order to prevent the enemy from occupying the small heights, Yang Gensi ordered the machine gunners to withdraw from the position with heavy machine guns, leaving him alone to stay here.
Silence pervaded the small highlands, and the arrogant American troops began to approach the small highlands, and there was still silence all around. Just when the U.S. army thought that the volunteers had all been sacrificed and secretly rejoiced, they suddenly saw Yang Gensi, who was covered in blood, standing by their side. I saw that Yang Gensi was carrying an explosive package in his hand, and his other hand had already torn off the fuse.
Suddenly, the US military was stunned, how could they have imagined that Yang Gensi, who was alone, would actually meet them like this. Hearing only a loud rumble, Yang Gensi, commander of the Volunteer Company, rushed into the enemy's encirclement and died with more than forty American troops. The small heights were preserved, and the only retreat channel for the Americans was completely blocked.
After this battle, the senior command level of the US army issued such a cry, the volunteer army is really not afraid of death, it is almost like their commander, they are crazy! As a result, the fear of confronting the volunteers has become a psychological obstacle for the US military, and even after decades, the US troops who participated in the Korean War are still very jealous of the volunteers.
In fact, yang gensi, who is not afraid of death, but also Qiu Shaoyun, who is willing to be burned to death and protects his comrades-in-arms, Huang Jiguang, who uses his body to block the muzzle of the enemy's guns, and Mao Anying, who sacrificed himself in the Korean battlefield, and there are thousands of volunteer martyrs who cannot be named.
That is to say, because of the fearless spirit of many volunteer martyrs, they composed the magnificent poems of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and laid the immortal image of the PLA in the history of international warfare.
The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea set the stage for heroes
A few years ago, the topic of downplaying the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out from time to time, and paragraphs slandering the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea also appeared one after another. There are two types of reasons for this: First, there was no need to resist us aggression and aid Korea in the first place, and it is necessary to know that new China has just started, and if it loses the war, it will drag down the country's construction. Another is to smear the image of the heroes of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
At that time, Chairman Mao vigorously opposed the public opinion and insisted on sending troops to Korea with great strategic vision, which reflected the mighty light of Chinese wisdom. At the beginning of the founding of New China, the country can be said to be full of waste, and the difficulties in front of us can be described as many difficult problems. In such a general environment, why should we send troops to North Korea, many people are actually still difficult to understand and understand.
In 1950, the international environment at that time was that the Chiang Kai-shek clique was entrenched in a corner of the southeast, and with the support of the United States, Taiwan had become a bridgehead for the Western world to encroach on New China.
In the northeast, because the Korean battlefield is tight, China's northeast liaoning is directly exposed to the threat of US bombers, and the US military can cross the Yalu River at any time to directly approach China's strategic point. At this time, if you don't send troops to Korea,
The entire northeast China defensive line, stretching for more than a thousand kilometers, needs to be heavily defended, coupled with chiang kai-shek's tiger in the southeast direction, under such a harsh international environment, how can China be at ease to carry out construction?
In fact, as to whether China would dare to send troops to Korea, the TOP level of the United States has also estimated that China has just ended the war and is engaged in domestic construction, so it has no ability or interest in taking care of the Korean war. It is precisely because of this mentality that the US military dares to free its hands and feet to push forward in North Korea and threaten to fight in the Yalu River for Christmas.
In the face of the arrogance of the United States, Chairman Mao adhered to his own viewpoint and fought better than well, and fought earlier than later. Take the words of the protagonist of "Chosin Lake", our generation will not fight, and the next generation will also fight. This is not the crux of the matter, the problem is that when North Korea has completely fallen, then China will face greater and more difficulties.
In this sense, the Great War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was not only a matter of cold lips and teeth, nor was it a matter of the fire at the city gate and the damage to the pond fish, but a major historical event in the Western world led by the United States that tried to strangle the young new China in its cradle. It is precisely because of such a grand stage as the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea that heroes such as Mao Anying, Huang Jiguang, and Yang Gensi will be born.
On the other hand, it is precisely because of such a hero as Yang Gensi and Huang Jiguang that the US military understands a truth, that is, the Chinese people have already stood up, and any conspiracy that tries to make China go back will eventually be a bamboo basket to hit the water!
brief summary
Seventy years ago, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea refreshed New China's strategic positioning in the Western world and reversed the consistent view of the United States on the Chinese people. The United States finally understands one thing, daring to provoke war at the doorstep of New China, and will eventually be destroyed by this war.
In fact, what was destroyed was not only the myth of the invincibility of the United States, but also made New China play an increasingly important role in the international arena. Dare to say no to americans, this is the spirit of the Chinese Communists, and it is even more the great spirit of Chinese people.
