"Gold wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and it will not be returned until the Loulan is broken." The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has far-reaching implications for the mainland, and it is the "war for the founding of the country" of our new China, which has played out the dignity of the Chinese nation and the national prestige of our new China, so that all countries in the world dare not underestimate it. After this war, the mainland's external environment was relatively stable, and it was able to concentrate on domestic construction without worrying about internal and external troubles, and it also won international respect.
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Battle of Chosin Lake showed the true colors of the mainland soldiers, beat the US Ace Army out of the 38th Line, turned the tide of the Korean War, and laid the foundation for a comprehensive victory and armistice negotiations. At that time, the US military did not take our volunteer army seriously, believing that it was so cold and snowy that our army's weapons and logistics could not keep up, and there was no need to worry, and even triumphantly declared that "we will go home before Christmas for the New Year."
As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers must be defeated, and when such a proud and arrogant US army encounters the hard stubble of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, it is doomed to shatter its dreams, and it turns out that this is indeed the case, and instead of returning home at Christmas to eat "turkey", they almost completely annihilated the entire army under the offensive of our army. In the end, it was because of one person that they had to partially return to the United States, otherwise they would be left with a total of them buried.
The one who left a way out for the Ace First Marine Division was their division commander, Major General Smith. Unlike MacArthur's brash arrogance, he was a little more cautious on the battlefield. He ignored MacArthur's orders to march in a hurry, but moved forward at a speed so slow that we felt incredible.
At that time, in the temperature of minus forty degrees, in the snow-capped mountains and forests, the 150,000 troops of the Ninth Corps of our volunteer army were ambushed. In this battle, they faced the 1st Marine Division, which was the most equipped and known as the ace division of the US army, and they did not have the slightest timidity in their hearts, but only the belief of victory. In order not to be found by the American scouts, they quietly hid in the snow, always maintaining a fighting posture, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
Unexpectedly, Smith ignored MacArthur's request for a hasty march, ignored the urging of the commander of the Tenth Army himself, and marched slowly according to his plan. It was also because their speed was too slow, which also led to the intensification of our army's ambush time in the snow. Under such ice and snow, it is still inevitable that the US military will have tents to withstand the cold and frostbite on a large scale, while our army will lie directly on the snow, hungry and cold, and insist entirely on a spirit of not accepting defeat, but it is inevitable that a large number of frostbite and frostbite will occur.
Even so, they are still persevering, as a frozen volunteer soldier said in his diary: "I love my relatives and my motherland, and I love my honor even more." I am a glorious volunteer soldier, ice and snow, and I will never submit to you. Even if I freeze to death, I will stand proudly on my position. ”
This is the ambition of our volunteer army, and with them, our army is bound to be able to win the war. But it is also because the temperature is too low, our army frostbite frostbite frostbite death countless soldiers, as they said, "after lying down may not be able to get up again." So that's why in the end we defeated the U.S. First Division, but we didn't completely annihilate them.
On the one hand, Smith was too cautious, carefully observing while marching, and later resolutely withdrew, so as to keep their division from being completely destroyed. On the other hand, there is a more important reason, that is, after I volunteered, I froze to death in the snow too many people, the strength of the troops was greatly reduced, coupled with the poor Komo chase, our army's troops and weapons at that time were in a relatively difficult situation, insisting on pursuing, and the casualties were even greater, so some officers and men of the US ace division were able to escape.
Before the victory of the war, no one believed that the Chinese volunteer army could defeat the elite troops of the US army, especially the US side, but the facts proved that the weapons were excellent and the logistics were in place was not invincible.
Chinese people's volunteers issued the most powerful proclamation to the world with their lives and blood, that we are not afraid of war, that we will never succumb to war, and that those who invade the mainland will be punished from afar, and although they are strong, they will be destroyed.
