On October 1, 1949, a grand founding ceremony was held in Tiananmen Square, and after several years of bloody struggle, a new country was established in which the people were the masters of their own affairs. The people of the whole country were looking forward to building their homes single-mindedly, but no one expected that the Korean War would suddenly break out.
After the outbreak of the Korean War, it attracted the attention of the relevant leaders of the country and paid attention to the situation in Korea at all times
。
At the beginning of the Korean War, the Korean People's Army was very strong, and soon occupied 90% of the entire Korean Peninsula, and the situation was very good. After seeing this, the United States, in the absence of the United Nations by the Soviet Union, jointly sent troops to intervene in the Korean War through relevant resolutions.
On September 15, 1950, the United Nations army led by Britain and the United States successfully landed in Inchon under the cover of more than 300 warships and more than 500 aircraft. After the US troops landed in Inchon, the situation on the battlefield was rapidly reversed, the Korean People's Army was defeated and retreated, and the US troops were compressed in a narrow strip, facing the danger of total annihilation.
Kim Il Sung, the leader of the Korean People's Army, asked the Soviet Union and our country for help, respectively, and since the outbreak of the Korean War, the changes in the situation have always touched the hearts of the party and state leaders. After many repeated discussions, he finally made up his mind to send the People's Volunteer Army into the KOREAN War.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Taiwan, was very excited in the early days of the Korean War, believing that his opportunity had come and that his return to the mainland was just around the corner.
After hearing that the volunteer army had entered Korea, Chiang Kai-shek was always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield and fantasizing about using Korea as a stepping stone to attack the mainland.
At that time, after the Kuomintang war criminals in Gongdelin learned of this news, most people waited to see the joke, believing that the victory of the Communist Party was only temporary. However, after the Battle of Chosin Lake,
The attitude of these Kuomintang war criminals has undergone a 180-degree reversal
They actually asked for battle and asked to go to the battlefield. What really happened during this time?
After the volunteers entered, the Volunteer Ace 39th Army and the U.S. Ace Marine 1st Division met in a narrow road. In the eyes of the volunteer army, the elite of the US army is estimated to be one level higher than the Kuomintang, and in the eyes of the US army, the volunteer army is a strengthened version of the Kuomintang. When the two sides met, they found that the other side was blindfolded, this American weapon is indeed different, and the Chinese army is also too fierce.
For the U.S. military, this is just the beginning of a nightmare.
Taking advantage of the enemy's indifference, the Volunteers launched a massive counterattack, costing the Americans 15,000 casualties, and MacArthur's wild talk became a complete joke.
However, at this time, the UN army still believed that the volunteers only sent a small number of troops into Korea, the main purpose of which was to maintain stability in the border areas. Therefore, it was still advancing northward on a large scale, so the volunteer command made a plan to lure the enemy deeper. In order to ensure the successful implementation of the plan, the Ninth Corps was urgently transferred to the Korean battlefield.
Due to the leak of information, the Ninth Corps could only set off as soon as possible, and the Ninth Corps entering the Korean battlefield wore only a thin cotton coat.
The natural conditions in the Chosin Lake area are extremely harsh in winter, often at more than minus 30 degrees Celsius, and even colder in 1950, even falling to minus 40 degrees.
In such extremely low temperatures, thin cotton coats did not play any role at all, and the soldiers marched in the knee-deep snow for 18 consecutive days, one step ahead of the American army to reach the Chosin Lake area. Before any rest was made, the US First Marine Division had already arrived, and the great war was about to break out.
After the outbreak of the Great War, the Volunteer Army flexibly interspersed and successfully divided and surrounded the US First Marine Division, but the First Marine Division caused a lot of trouble to the Volunteer Army with its strong equipment superiority. The 7th Division of the U.S. Support Force, supported by armored vehicles and air forces, launched a counterattack, and the fighting had been going on for a day and a night, and Chosin Lake was littered with corpses.
The blood had stained the snow red, condensed into a column of blood at extreme temperatures, and was particularly dazzling in the sun.
At that time, the logistics of the volunteer army were extremely difficult, and the soldiers could only fill their hunger with frozen potatoes and cold flour, even if the US ace First Marine Division was defeated and the US Polar Bear Regiment was destroyed in an organization, which was unprecedented in the history of the US army. The First Division of the First Marine Warfare still escaped with powerful weapons and equipment. Veterans who fought years later said:
At that time, if there was one more hot potato, the US First Marine Division absolutely could not run. ”
When the news of the victory at Chosin Lake reached Gongdelin, all the senior Nationalist generals were stunned and could not understand why the volunteer army with millet plus rifles could defeat the most powerful American army in the world. They started flipping through all kinds of materials to figure out what was going on? After several senior Kuomintang generals passed the review, they all burst into tears. Relying on thin cotton clothes and hard potatoes, he defeated the invincible American army. When they saw the deeds of the "Ice Sculpture Company," almost all the Kuomintang war criminals were red in the eyes and asked to go to the battlefield.
In the Battle of Chosin Lake, the Ninth Corps was reduced by one-third, which showed the fierceness of the battle, and some soldiers even left their bodies in the ice and snow.
They built a great wall of steel with their own flesh and blood, defended the new republic with iron bones, and left peace and happiness for future generations.
People's heroes, immortal!
