As the saying goes: a son is wrong, and the plate is full of ropes!
Regarding Chosin Lake, the victory of the war is inseparable from the accuracy of the recruitment decision; the victory of the film is inseparable from the original intention of the creators and the audience!
As of 00:00 on October 9, the movie "Chosin Lake" has exceeded the 3.6 billion mark!
This is a victory that belongs to Chosin Lake!
Regarding Chosin Lake, I think there are four people that must not be forgotten, and these four people are only four people?
"Ice Sculpture" in the Battle of Chosin Lake
Today's Brief History Archive would like to talk to you about the four most important in my mind for the Battle of Chosin Lake
"A"
person.
First, Chairman Mao
First of all, I would like to explain to you the true meaning of four people.
The victory in the Battle of Chosin Lake will not depend on the strategizing of only four people, and the reason why Chairman Mao and the next three heroes are brought to the table is because these four people are the most typical existence in this battle.
Chairman Mao, for example, was the most typical first figure in this campaign, the leader.
Speaking of old China, what is everyone's first impression?
Incompetence, weakness, lamb temper, chopping board fish meat...
Chairman Mao
Although these words are glaring, this is the face of our old China, and the image given to the world powers is such incompetent and powerless.
For example, in the First Opium War, Britain relied on several warships to destroy countless lands all the way, directly under the eyelids.
In the Second Opium War, the British and French coalition forces casually found an excuse to invade Beijing, looted and burned the Yuanmingyuan, and gave more than 1.5 million land to others.
disgrace! embarrass!
Because of the various manifestations of old China, the Japanese once joked that the old Chinese army was paper paste and vulnerable.
What is the reason for all this?
Because there is no good leader!
Just like the clip in the TV series "The Age of Awakening", the people of old China, under the leadership of the rule of ignorance, do not know why they live, do not know why they fight, what is the meaning, and what the struggle is.
At this time, Chairman Mao came with the Communist Party of China!
The sleeping lion has woken up to a new atmosphere after cutting through thorns and thorns, and the founding of new China has shouted out to the world:
We Chinese people have since stood up!
After the founding of New China, the situation was still difficult, and the development of foreign weapons was slow, and the Americans took a fancy to this point and began to provoke China unscrupulously, repeatedly ignoring warnings and directly crossing the "38th Line."
If it was old China, it would cut up the land and seek good.
However, this is the new China, and Chairman Mao, an excellent leader, will not do so.
The Battle of Chosin Lake took place in the Second Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea!
Real-life images of the Battle of Chosin Lake
In the first campaign to resist the United States and aid Korea, after the victory of the volunteer army, it did not suppress the United States, on the contrary, the United States still adhered to the so-called principles and continued to take the military offensive as the main plan to occupy all of Korea.
So on November 7, 1950, the Chinese Volunteer Army, with the cooperation of the Korean people, began to launch an offensive.
At the beginning of the battle, the goal of the Volunteer Army was set, that is, to lure the "United Nations Army" led by the United States and the South Korean Army, that is, the South Korean Army, to the intended battlefield of the Volunteer Army, and then launch an attack and annihilation.
The Battle of Chosin Lake is a microcosm of this battle.
In this battle, the United States allowed the 8th Army on the Western Front to advance, while the 10th Army on the Eastern Front was still advancing along the Yalu River, and at the same time, the United States also passed through Chosin Lake with the First Marine Division, preparing to detour to the western river boundary.
To put it bluntly, Lao Mei wanted to cut off the rear communication line of the volunteer army and jointly surround and annihilate the volunteer army with the 8th Army advancing on the western front.
When Chairman Mao learned of this, he immediately deployed and ordered Song Shilun to take the 9th Corps to block the enemy, and later when Song Shilun was undecided, Chairman Mao sent a telegram directly to Song Shilun with the last reassurance.
Next, the Song ShiLun appeared.
Second place, the Song Chron
Chairman Mao, the first, is the leader, while the Song Dynasty is the executor.
As mentioned above, in order to contain the US offensive, Chairman Mao ordered Song Shilun to take the 9th Corps into the Korean War and undertook the task of blocking the US army on the Eastern Front.
Before leaving, Chairman Mao specially reminded the Song Dynasty wheel and formulated it
"Roundabout cut-off, encirclement and annihilation"
Tactics.
Song Wheel of Time
With a unique vision, Chairman Mao ordered the Song Dynasty wheel to leave immediately and not to stop for a moment, and now it seems that chairman Mao caught the enemy off guard in order to achieve the suddenness of the battle.
Chairman Mao issued the order, and the Song Shilun resolutely carried it out, so the Song Shilun and 100,000 volunteer troops crossed the mountains and mountains, traveled day and night, and finally overcame all kinds of difficulties and dangers and quietly arrived at the preset battlefield.
And such a large-scale operation did not let the US military detect half a point.
Subsequently, in accordance with the tactical arrangement, the Song Shilun successfully divided the US First Marine Division and the US Infantry 7th Division into five parts through roundabout encirclement, forming a favorable situation of dividing and encircling and annihilating.
But there is one thing that Song Shilun did not expect, that is:
Fighting a war really freezes people to death!
Because of the arrangement of military orders and the speed of action, the 9th Corps rushed into battle almost without any time to replenish.
Later, according to historical records, the winter clothing supply of the volunteer army was originally located in the Shenyang area, but because of the special combat plan of the 9th Corps, the winter clothes had to be transported from Shenyang to the Linjiang area closer to the 9th Corps, but the transportation department suffered from the "crime" and could not be busy at all.
The lack of winter clothes, coupled with the fact that the 9th Corps completely underestimated the cold winter in North Korea, almost the whole army reached a consensus on "how can it freeze to death in a war".
Therefore, in order to move forward lightly and alleviate the pressure of winter clothing transportation, some troops did not even bring coats, and even the grain was only brought for about 3 days.
Lacking clothes and food, the DPRK is not a liberated area, and the volunteer army is obviously lacking attention this time.
As a result, the humanoid ice sculpture in the movie "Chosin Lake" was born sadly.
Chosin Lake "Ice Sculpture"
According to records, the 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army suffered frostbite and more than 4,000 people due to cold problems, and the total casualties of this battle were 19,202.
These numbers are all life, not data!
In the face of huge disaster casualties, Song Shilun was indecisive, crying and crying, he was now in a poor alley, and he no longer had the courage to fight a battle.
At this time, Chairman Mao's key telegram came, and in order to clarify the task, Chairman Mao directly ordered Song Shilun:
"It is entirely possible for the Eastern Front to annihilate two American divisions and one South Korean division, and this is an excellent time for our army to annihilate the enemy on a large scale and fundamentally resolve the Korean issue."
This telegram not only fixed Song Shilun's heart, but also made Song Shilun's offensive thinking begin to become clear, not thinking about the huge annihilation battle, only thinking about how to bite down in front of him.
The first on the right is Chairman Mao
As a result, Song Shilun placed the direction of attack on the 31st Regiment of the US 7th Division in the Xinxingli area, and sure enough, the attack of the Volunteer 80th Division directly hit the enemy from Chosin Lake and had to retreat.
Subsequently, the 81st Division of the Volunteer Army assisted the 80th Division and directly annihilated the 31st Regiment of the 7th Division of the US Army, about 3,000 people, and this battle was also the first time that the entire regiment of the US Army was annihilated.
Step by step, Song Shilun fought steadily and steadily according to the requirements, became more and more familiar with the tactics of the US military, and finally successfully struck at the overbearing and invincible US army.
The Battle of Chosin Lake was won in the end!
The third place, Zhou Quandi
The above is only a rough summary, and if it is subdivided, it is the third Zhou Quandi, who represents the frontline of this battle.
Brother Zhou Quan
The next story is led by the most powerful humanoid ice sculpture.
Perhaps many readers do not believe that frontline people like Zhou Quandi are all being
"Cheating"
to the battlefield.
According to the account of Zhou Quandi, a witness to the Battle of Chosin Lake, many front-line fighters like him had no idea that they were going to fight the second campaign to resist the United States and aid Korea.
"I didn't tell us what to do, I just knew how to defend the frontier."
This is the original words of Zhou Quandi.
On October 25, 1950, Zhou Quandi followed the troops to the Yalu River, and when they set out, many soldiers only knew that they were going to the northeast to defend the frontier, and they did not know until they entered the DPRK for 30 miles that they had come to resist the United States and aid Korea.
When Zhou Quandi entered the DPRK, he received only a pair of rubber shoes, a large brim hat and a thin cotton coat, and after more than half a month of marching, the troops also successfully reached the Chosin Lake area at the southern foot of the Changbai Mountains.
Chosin Lake, the largest water storage lake in northern North Korea, is frozen and snowy all year round, sparsely populated, and surrounded by steep terrain, which can be described as one of the harshest terrain in North Korea.
In order to block the confrontation against the Ace Marine Division and the 7th Division of the US Army, Zhou Quandi's unit was ambushed in the ice and snow according to the order.
In order not to expose the target, Zhou Quandi and other soldiers all lay motionless on the snow, and when the follow-up troops arrived, many officers and soldiers had already frozen to death on the positions.
Some people have frozen into ice sculptures, and the humanoid ice sculptures in the movie can be said to be only insufficient, not exaggerated, but these "ice sculptures" still maintain a fighting posture, holding a rifle in their hands, as if ready to fight.
Even so difficult, the volunteers still destroyed the "polar bear regiment" of the US army, and the volunteers fell down again and again, fought, and then lay down, and finally used rifles to overturn the US tanks and planes.
In this brutal confrontation called the Battle of Xinxingli, the volunteers succeeded in taking this position, and the flag of the "Polar Bear Regiment" fell and the flag of the volunteer army flew.
According to Zhou Quandi's recollection, at that time, the soldiers were wearing thin cotton clothes and rubber shoes, and they couldn't stand the cold, so they found a teapot to melt the snow, and then put some sea peppers into it, so that everyone could drink a sip, which was considered to be warming.
Hungry can't do it, each person can only have one potato per day, and the cold is also hard.
In the movie "Chosin Lake", Wu Wanli, played by Yi Qianxi, was knocked out of a tooth when eating potatoes because the potatoes were too hard.
These scenes are staged all the time around Zhou Quandi, without a trace of exaggeration.
In order not to alert the enemy, Zhou Quandi ambushed for three days and three nights in the snow at minus 40 degrees, resulting in direct frostbite and decomposition to the point of having to amputate.
According to Zhou Quandi's recollection, when the charge horn sounded, Zhou Quandi was preparing to get up and kill the enemy, but his limbs were numb, he could not move, and could only watch his comrades charge into battle.
Chosin Lake Warrior Testament
Zhou Quandi said:
"The most regrettable thing is that I was not able to get up that night and charge and kill the enemy with my comrades-in-arms."
The freezing cold of minus 40 degrees took away Zhou Quandi's limbs, and this year, he was only 16 years old.
After the victory of the battle, when the comrades returned to search, they found Zhou Quandi, who had fainted, and quickly sent him back to the Northeast 35 Army Hospital in China for treatment.
Because of the severe frostbite, Zhou Quandi had to have his limbs amputated, his hands were amputated from his forearms, and his legs were amputated from the base of his thighs.
Fourth place, Fok Ying Tung
After talking about the leader, the executor, the frontline, let's talk about the logistician - Fok Ying Tung.
Speaking of the name Huo Yingdong, perhaps many people only hear its name and do not know its people, but when it comes to his granddaughter-in-law, I believe that many people must be thunderous to her name.
Guo Jingjing
Huo Yingdong's granddaughter-in-law is the famous diving queen Guo Jingjing!
This excellent Hong Kong businessman, Fok Ying Tung, in addition to being a titular business tycoon, is also a good friend of the Chinese Communist Party.
During the years of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the state has been trying to purchase strategic materials and transport them to the front line to support the war.
And Huo Yingdong is the person who made historical contributions to the strategic materials on the front line.
At that time, except for the Soviet Union, almost all countries in the world were instigated by the United States to choose to close the gate to China, and the materials purchased by China were forced to stop outside the country' doors.
After much thought, China's leaders decided to use Hong Kong in the British Concession as a breakthrough point to send supplies home.
Fok Ying Tung
Although Huo Yingdong was only less than 30 years old at that time, he had dozens of large ships in his hands and a ship repair yard, which was definitely the best candidate to help the motherland.
And Fok Yingdong also lived up to the expectations of the public and resolutely decided to help the motherland, all because Fok Yingdong believed in the motherland.
In order to avoid the surveillance of the British government, Fok Yingdong personally organized a fleet of ships, contacting supplies and goods during the day, and taking a large amount of cash to check customs, marine police and others at night.
Although there were many hardships and dangers on the road, and even because of the pirates, all this did not hit Huo Yingdong's help to the motherland.
With the help of Fok Ying-tung, the front-line operations had fuel, engine oil, black iron, rubber... Wait a minute.
For example, black iron is the most important material for frontline combat, and black iron can be used to make oil drums, and with oil barrels, gasoline can be transported to the front line.
In fact, it is worth mentioning that Huo Yingdong lost a lot of money when transporting these materials to the front line, because the real money at that time was selling Western medicine and cotton.
Wang Kangnian was arrested
For example, Wang Kangnian of The Shanghai Dakang Pharmacy took advantage of the fact that the front line needed Western medicine, specially made many fake drugs that ate the undead but had no effect, and sold them to the front line at a high price, making a fortune in the country.
However, Huo Yingdong was not moved, even if he lost money, he resolutely did not make such a great fortune that harmed people and the country, and has been diligently helping the motherland to transport all kinds of materials to the front line to support the battle.
After a strenuous and remarkable battle, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was finally won, and China finally fought the United States to no longer be arrogant.
But even so, the volunteers still paid the price of blood, and the number of people who froze to death and frostbite at that time reached a staggering one-third.
It is hard to imagine that without a national hero like Fok Yingdong who ran for materials and paid sincerely, how long would it take to resist US aggression and aid Korea to win?
Fok Ying Tung, Deng Xiaoping
Or will the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea still be victorious?
Throughout the text, I divide the people involved in this battle into four categories with immature humble opinions:
Leaders, executors, frontlines, logisticians.
The reason why four people are specifically proposed is to choose the four most representative and typical characters to classify them for everyone:
Chairman Mao, Song Shilun, Zhou Quandi, Huo Yingdong.
These four represent different positions in this battle.
Leaders like Chairman Mao were responsible for the overall command and decision-making of the campaign;
Executors like the Song Dynasty Wheel, responsible for strictly enforcing the decisions of their superiors and fighting heroically;
Front-line people like Zhou Quandi are brave enough to kill the enemy, although they are not famous, but without them to build a victory foundation, there will be no victory;
Logisticians like Fok Yingdong, who dedicate themselves to the nation with great love and dedication, only to assume historical responsibilities with their personal faith, is the greatest force for national progress.
In China, it is difficult to win or not!!!
China is fabulous
With these four "individuals", China will surely prosper and get better and better!
