How tragic was the Battle of Chosin Lake? Three teams became ice sculpture companies, and the American ace was defeated for the first time
The Chinese soldiers, clad in white cloths, rushed out of the forest in droves, they must have been frozen, moving extremely slowly, we aimed our machine guns at them and began to shoot violently, and they began to fall down in rows. But they never seemed to be able to finish fighting, and before we could change the bullets, a lot of people rushed out of the woods and pounced on us. I had never seen such a soldier who was not afraid of death, and that night I knew that we were going to lose this war
This is the memory of an American veteran after the Korean War on the Battle of Chosin Lake, Chosin Lake, as the most tragic battle on the Korean battlefield, has always been the last thing the volunteer soldiers are willing to mention, so how tragic was the real Chosin Lake Battle in history, and what happened at that time? How exactly did the volunteer soldiers with millet plus rifles defeat the American army? Let's move on.
In November 1950, as the War in Korea became tighter, Chairman Mao ordered the Ninth Corps to rush into Korea to fight in order to support the front. At this time, the commander of the Ninth Corps was Song Shilun, and after receiving the chairman's order, Song Shilun immediately led all the soldiers of the Ninth Corps to set off and rushed to the Dandong area of Shenyang overnight to be on standby. According to the original plan, the Ninth Corps had enough time to prepare for the battle, and the winter clothes of the soldiers were not a problem at all.
However, the front line was in urgent need of support, and in order not to delay the course of the war, the Central Military Commission had to issue an order to the Ninth Corps in advance to fight in Korea, and the soldiers of the Ninth Corps had to wear single clothes on the Korean battlefield. Winter combat is a taboo for soldiers, not to mention that in such an urgent situation, the psychological pressure and even physical pain endured by the soldiers of the Ninth Corps can be imagined.
But even so, the soldiers of the Ninth Corps carried the bitter cold to the territory of North Korea. According to the relatively narrow terrain of Chosin Lake, Song Shilun decided to adopt the tactic of "detouring and cutting off, encircling and annihilating". In order to successfully block the enemy army, Song Shilun led hundreds of thousands of volunteer troops over the mountains to the predetermined ambush site. To avoid letting the enemy's reconnaissance planes find clues, the soldiers quietly lay motionless on the snow in thin clothes. It was the first time these young warriors had seen snow, and the last time they had seen it.
Our army has long laid the bait for the US troops, just waiting for them to bite the hook, and at this time, without knowing it, the enemy's first marine division is still excitedly dreaming of going home for Christmas, on November 27, the war officially began, for a time, countless signal bombs flew into the air, and the volunteer soldiers who had long been ambushed immediately surged out from everywhere, and countless volunteer soldiers wearing single clothes and pants, holding rifles, jumped up from the snow and pounced on the US army like crazy. Where the US army had seen such a position, it immediately scattered and fled, but many US soldiers found that although these volunteers were menacing, their movements were much slower than before, and some fighters could not even stand up in battle, as if they were squirming on the ground.
It turned out that the bodies of the volunteer soldiers had already frozen unconsciously, and they wanted to get up and attack the enemy, but they could not make any strength in any way, and could only have red eyes, roaring in the snow, struggling, cheering for the other soldiers. As soon as they saw that there were American troops falling next to them, they immediately bit their arms or legs fiercely to prevent them from getting up and attacking other comrades. They were frozen, but as soldiers, as an iron-boned Chinese man, they did not fall, they were fighting in their own way, even if it was to pay for their own lives.
Under the strafing of the American machine guns, countless soldiers fell, but countless more soldiers rushed up, and each of them roared and ran forward, pounced on the American machine gunners like hungry wolves. Looking at such a desperate volunteer army, Smith, the general of the First Marine Division, finally understood what kind of unit he was facing, no matter how rudimentary the guns in their hands were, and he had already lost by the spirit of combat alone.
Smith knew that there was no chance of attack, so he immediately adjusted the combat strategy, changed the original offensive state of the troops to a defensive state, and with the cover of the army's peripheral tanks, constantly looked for the weak points of the volunteer firepower, in an attempt to break through in one fell swoop. But for this cooked duck, how could the volunteers let it fly away so easily? Volunteer soldiers began to spontaneously form death squads, tied with explosives, and rushed to the American camp one after another, launching an extremely powerful offensive against the American army.
Seeing that the general trend of the war was over, the US First Marine Division hurriedly turned around and broke through to the south. With its own strong logistical strength, the US military finally escaped the encirclement and blockade of our army. The American troops who escaped from death were completely afraid, in order to prevent another ambush, specially sent scouts to investigate in advance. Looking at the white snow, the American scouts crept slowly and crept, because he did not know when and from where a group of volunteer soldiers would rush out.
Suddenly, the scouts found that there were many volunteer soldiers lying neatly on the snow ahead, their eyes fixed on the front, their guns in hand, as if ready to attack at any moment. Seeing this, the scouts were frightened and crawled back to the troops, but strangely, until the American troops approached, the volunteer soldiers were still lying motionless on the ground, as if frozen. Some Us soldiers had the audacity to go forward to check it out, only to find that these people had already been frozen alive and frozen into ice sculptures of soldiers. In the face of these soldiers who became ice sculptures, the US military invariably took off their hats and saluted. As enemies, they had no way to show mercy to each other, but as soldiers, they deserved to respect the world's strongest Marines. At about 6 p.m., under the cover of large troops, the US First Marine Division, which had been flaunting its might, slipped out of the snow-capped mountains of the Chosin Lake area.
The ice sculpture company has forever become a nightmare for the US military, and it has also become a pain in the hearts of countless Chinese people, and they are real heroes. There has never been any good time in this world, just someone to carry the burden forward for us, and what we have to do is to remember history, remember heroes, forge ahead, and carry forward the spirit of our predecessors again! #长津湖一战到底有多惨烈?
