The military history of the 20th Army records that after two days of arduous and excellent resistance battle, the 180th Regiment of the 60th Division of the 20th Army of the Volunteer Army and a battalion of the 179th Regiment were killed and the chief of staff was seriously injured, leaving only 20 people left.
Zhu Huan was one of these 20 people. She was injured in multiple places, and there was a huge scar on the top of her head, which was left by a bomb fragment. Now Zhu Zhu had been hunched over when he walked, and the tufts of hair around the scar stood up straight, like a hairless eagle. Her legs were swollen, a sequelae left over from the freezing of the blood war on Chosin Lake.
At the time of "Blood Battle of Changjin Lake", Zhu Huan worked as a nurse and military doctor in the health team of the 180 regiment. At first, she and her husband, He Zhiguang, did not know each other. Although both belonged to the same 60th Division, they were different teams. It was not until the fifth campaign, after being organized and brokered, that the two formed a revolutionary partnership.
"Blood Battle of Chosin Lake" was fought too badly. According to Zhu Huan's recollection, when a row of cannons came, the soldiers often fell a large piece. Zhu Huan took the stretcher team over, and if he found that there was still a heartbeat, he had to carry it back first, and the two hygienists plus four stretcher teams were a group. Sometimes the stretcher is not enough, so two people lie down at once, and the nurse will help if they can't lift it.
As long as he is still panting, he must try his best to save his life. The battle was fought so fiercely that one eye was blinded, and the intestines were pierced and at best slightly injured, and only those whose lower bodies were destroyed were seriously injured and could only be turned to the rear for medical treatment. The lightly wounded warriors bandaged them a little and clamored to go to the front.
The battle has been fought for a long time, and there is also anger between each other. Watching the comrades around him die in front of him, no one felt bad in his heart. Many lightly wounded people rushed to the battlefield before they could recover, shouting to avenge their comrades-in-arms, and Zhu Huan could not stop them.
When I first went to the Korean battlefield, the logistics were insufficient, and the American planes were so powerful that the soldiers had to dig up wild vegetables. Zhu Huan used to be in the countryside, she knew what kind of wild vegetables could be eaten, and they ate them with millet with wild vegetables, and the taste was still quite fragrant. Those hygienists and logisticians admired her very much, and from then on, they cried out one by one. Zhu Huan said: In fact, it doesn't matter what you eat, the key is to fill your stomach.
After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Zhu Huan returned to Zhejiang, and the leaders asked her to report that she was disabled due to war, but Zhu Huan was unwilling in her heart: A big girl's family, now report me a disability, how bad is this?
Zhu's husband, He Zhiguang, was also lucky to return alive and served as the director of the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting. Many comrades-in-arms who participated in the "Blood Battle of Changjin Lake" recalled He Zhiguang: This person was a violent temper, and he once ordered a company commander to charge lightly, but this company commander was unwilling. He just took the gun and said, "I shot you!" This company commander was a first-class combat hero Mao Zhangmiao.
He Zhiguang died in 2011 at the age of 90. Before his death, his son Xiao He repeatedly asked his father if he wanted to go to North Korea to take a look. But He Zhiguang said very clearly: What else to do there? Tired and exhausted there.
Xiao He recalled that her mother had many good comrades-in-arms, and after changing careers, everyone would often call her to chat, but now there are fewer and fewer people to chat with her, and these people are no longer there. Originally, the 20th Army still had more than one hundred and twenty cadres in the dry rest house, but now there are less than ten of them, let alone ordinary soldiers.
