Comparing the real Watergate Bridge with the Watergate Bridge in the movie, it can be said that the film highly restores the tragedy of the war at that time. But why did it not stop the US troops from retreating?
In the actual Battle of Pratunam Bridge, the 180 regiments mainly responsible for the battle suffered heavy casualties, and in the end, only more than 20 fighters remained in the whole regiment, and the regimental commander was also killed during the battle.
As for the reasons I think there are a few
Before entering the DPRK, the preparation time of the volunteer soldiers was too hasty, and the non-combat attrition was serious;
The Volunteer Army did not have air superiority, logistics supplies could not be fully guaranteed, and it was unable to conduct expendable operations with the US army with a sound logistics system;
The volunteers did not have enough communication equipment to cover the battlefield, and it was difficult to effectively carry out strategic deployment in accordance with changes in the war situation. (As can be seen in the movie, the weather is too cold, resulting in the battery of communication equipment can not be used, so it can not transmit battlefield information in time)
In order to repair the Watergate Bridge, the US military directly used several large transport aircraft (C-119 transport aircraft) to smoothly airlift a single rutted bridge component weighing 1.1 tons to the watergate bridge in a very short period of time.
After the first two bridge bombing operations, there were not many explosives left for the soldiers, coupled with the heavy casualties caused by the previous battles, the volunteers were really unable to carry out a long-term expendable battle with the Us army.
