October 25, 2001, was the 50th anniversary of the victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. On this day, an old American woman, supported by a middle-aged North Korean woman, came to the military museum. After meeting the staff, he took 5 self-portraits from his pocket, handed them to them, and said, "These 5 female soldiers, I know where they went." ”
The staff immediately invited the old lady into the reception room and inquired in detail about the specific situation. At this point, the mystery of the disappearance of 5 female soldiers who had been sealed for 50 years on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was finally solved, and a heroic story in the fires of war surfaced.
In August 1951, the volunteer troops began to organize a retreat, stabilizing the troops near the 38th Line. At this time, a logistics unit reported a special situation in which 5 female soldiers were missing. However, whether they were killed, captured, or lost contact with the troops, there is no accurate conclusion. Although the troops sent a large number of personnel to search and rescue, there was still no news. So, what did they go through and where did they go?
It was the old lady who told the reason for their disappearance. During the Period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the old lady was a reporter accompanying the US military. On this day, she followed the troops to shoot the interview, and it happened that a unit of the US army trapped 5 Chinese female soldiers in a cave.

They were the 5 female soldiers reported missing by the unit. Originally, 3 comrades were covering the retreat of the wounded, but they found that there were still 2 female soldiers of the Cultural and Labor Corps trapped by the enemy who could not escape, so they returned to save the 2 female soldiers.
Later, they formed a 5-man combat group and retreated while fighting. However, because there were too many enemies, they were bitten to death, and they could not shake them off, and they did not catch up with the large troops, so they could only turn into a cave to defend.
The enemy had already observed clearly at this time, they were only 5 female soldiers, so they sent a company of troops to strengthen the attack, 5 female soldiers took advantage of the night, firmly guarded the mouth of the cave, the Americans besieged for half a day, and there was no progress.
Later, they wanted to take a picture of the surrender of the female soldiers of our army, so they changed their tactics, no longer attacked, but set up a tent at the mouth of the cave, in an attempt to besiege 5 female soldiers, force the female soldiers to surrender, and constantly shouted to the cave, hoping that they would lay down their weapons.
The 5 female soldiers were ready to die and began to look at the terrain inside the cave for better defense, and to find out if there was any other exit.
However, just as I was walking into the cave, I suddenly found a person. It turned out that this was a North Korean pregnant woman. Upon inquiry, it was learned that his village had been blown up by the American army, and her husband took her into hiding. Before dark, the husband went out to look for food.
Five female soldiers also learned from pregnant women that there was only one entrance to the cave and no other exit. That only broke through the cave entrance. However, the enemy's heavy troops had already sealed the opening of the cave to death, and there was such a pregnant woman who could not be ignored, and it seemed that there was no hope of breaking out.
To make matters worse, pregnant women were more anxious when they gave birth to a baby girl prematurely because of panic. Finally it was agreed that a female soldier who could speak English would go to the mouth of the cave, negotiate with the enemy, and shout to them: "We have a pregnant woman here, and if you want us to surrender, we must carry forward the humanitarian spirit and release the Korean pregnant women and children and send them to safety." ”
In order to take this picture, the REPORTER accompanying the US military felt that this picture would become a bright spot in the future, so he persuaded the US military to agree to this request. In the end, the pregnant woman and the child were sent out of the cave by the female soldiers.
The U.S. military continued to besiege 5 female soldiers and kept shouting for them to surrender. The 5 female soldiers knew that if they surrendered and were filmed by the U.S. military, they would make a big splash and be very unfavorable to the volunteers, and the 5 were determined to die and discussed the next plan.
At this time, one of them, a female soldier, would draw a self-portrait of each of them, and then put the portrait in the hole.
The five female soldiers packed up and walked out of the cave with their heads held high. The American soldiers were curious and all gathered around, and the reporters accompanying the army prepared cameras, chose a good position, and prepared to shoot the shots of several female soldiers surrendering.
However, before she could press the shutter, several female soldiers suddenly pulled the grenades tied to their bodies, and died with the onlookers of the American troops, and several female soldiers interpreted the highest honor of Chinese soldiers with sacrifices.
Fortunately, the reporter was not injured because of the location, but she was stunned by the scene in front of her and it took a long time to ease up.
Afterwards, she went into the cave, found 5 self-portraits, and quietly collected them, bringing them back to the United States to keep them in their possession.
In the blink of an eye, 50 years have passed, and the old lady's life has entered the countdown, and she feels that she must tell the story of the 5 female soldiers to the world. Therefore, she gave everything to go to North Korea first, found the child who was rescued from pregnant women, and accompanied by her to China, taking advantage of the opportunity of the anniversary of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea to give 5 self-portraits to the Military Museum, unveiling 50 years of dusty history.
She told the staff of the military museum: "They are the pride of the Chinese people, and they want to return to the embrace of the motherland." ”
Let us remember the names of these 5 female soldiers: Wang Wenhui, Wang Zhaodi, Zhang Lan, Li Yili, and Sun Nana.
