No one can stop the pursuit of a peaceful life by the Chinese people, and no one can insult the dignity of the Chinese nation. When the Korean War broke out, countless Chinese People's Liberation Army volunteers rushed to the front line for the sake of their homeland and the people. The spiritual epic written by the heroes and martyrs with their lives is like a beacon illuminating the way forward for future generations. When it comes to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the most praised thing is the Battle of Chosin Lake of the Ninth Corps.
In this battle, the Chinese army showed unprecedented heroism, although the battle was very fierce, but the Chinese army finally ended in victory. In fact, before the outbreak of war, the U.S. army had captured three Chinese volunteer soldiers. Smith, then a senior U.S. general, personally interrogated the soldiers in an attempt to know the military secrets of the Chinese army.
But when Smith learned of their confessions, he was shocked. That's because they say the Chinese army is going to get close to the U.S. First Marine Division and wants to wipe it out. However, when Smith launched the US reconnaissance plane to observe, he did not find any movement, so Smith felt dismissive.
Chinese troops on the expedition to Korea
After the founding of New China, China's international status and China's national defense strength have not been favored by the Western capitalist world, and in their hearts, China is just a sick man of East Asia. So in 1950, the U.S. military launched the Korean War, which later spread to the vicinity of the Yalu River in China. At this time, Mao Zedong and other leaders of the CPC Central Committee made a major decision. That is, it was decided to send troops to Korea in 1950 to resist the United States and aid Korea.
At the beginning of the Korean War, the U.S. army quickly pulled the front farther away with irresistible combat effectiveness. So MacArthur, the leader of the U.S. military at the time, once made a big fuss about making it possible for the soldiers of the U.S. army to go back to Christmas before Christmas.
However, this idea was completely shattered after the Chinese army marched into the Korean battlefield. At that time, the continental army decided to adopt special tactics and led the elite troops of the US army to the area of Chosin Lake according to the plan to annihilate them completely. At that time, the famous general song Shilun of the mainland was responsible for going to Chosin Lake to fight. So after receiving the order, Song Shilun led his Ninth Corps to the battlefield.
At that time, when the Ninth Corps of the Song Dynasty entered Korea, it was not fully prepared, so their soldiers were still wearing thin clothes in autumn, which was really difficult to resist the fierce wind and snow of North Korea. Therefore, when I was on the road at that time, because the weather was too cold, I lost a lot of soldiers. But despite such cold weather, the Chinese soldiers still came to the Chosin Lake area with their firm will to prepare for battle.
A confession that shocked the U.S. military
At that time, the U.S. military was still very cautious in the face of the Chinese army, although their main general MacArthur was very arrogant, but another senior U.S. army general, Smith, was not such an arrogant person, on the contrary, his mind was extremely meticulous. Therefore, after learning that China is going to march into Chosin Lake, we will begin to explore the secrets of China's war from all sides.
But MacArthur dismissed Smith's concerns. In fact, Smith's concern is not unreasonable, because after the Chinese army entered North Korea, the Chinese Volunteer Army achieved many victories and won very glorious victories. Therefore, Smith is very wary of the Chinese army.
Eventually, Smith led his troops to a place called Liutanli, where the U.S. army captured three Chinese Volunteers. Smith immediately took the three men to his station, and after torture, Smith received a shocking news.
In the mouths of the three of them, Smith learned that the Chinese Volunteers had been secretly stationed in the Chosin Lake area. At that time Chinese Minary Volunteer Army was two corps, and they also planned to annihilate all the 1st Marine Divisions of the US Army. Upon learning the news, Smith was incredulous and half-convinced.
This is because the First Marine Division of the US Army was the top combat effective unit in the US army at that time, and its combat effectiveness was very strong, which could be described as an invincible team. So when they learned that the Chinese army was trying to completely annihilate such an army, the Americans felt that this was a fool's dream.
The thrilling Battle of Chosin Lake
The Battle of Chosin Lake was very difficult because the Chinese army did not have sufficient supplies, or even warm supplies. But the U.S. military does have a particularly warm military coat and a goose feather sleeping bag. Therefore, when the US military saw the dilemma of the Chinese army, it actually felt that the Chinese army could not endure such a harsh environment.
However, the Chinese army does have unparalleled willpower, and even if the Chinese soldiers do not have rich materials, the Chinese soldiers have their own faith. They wore thin clothes and ate the most bitter and difficult food, but they still did not change their determination to resist US aggression and aid Korea in the slightest.
At that time, the Ninth Army of the Song Dynasty not only endured the cold of the ice and snow, but also needed to avoid the pursuit of American reconnaissance planes. So, their situation is very difficult. And on the eve of the outbreak of war, the U.S. military also captured three Chinese soldiers and learned accurate military secrets. But the Americans were unruly and did not pay attention to the news.
After the outbreak of the Chosin Lake Campaign, our army was ready for a complete strategy. When the war broke out, volunteer soldiers from all directions directly surrounded the American troops, forming a huge encirclement. At that time, the So-called First Ace Unit of the US Army, the First Marine Division, was directly beaten to a helpless position, which directly led to a fiasco. Later, they were defeated and directly destroyed the entire army.
Brief summary:
In the Battle of Chosin Lake, our army's victory was not only because of the light enemy of the American army, but also because of the tenacity and determination of the soldiers of the continental army, and their bravery and invincibility in charging into the battlefield. In the face of the cold of the ice and snow, they can stay motionless in the snow, a perseverance that is unmatched by people in many countries in the world.
Let us remember "Chosin Lake", remember this great war in Chinese history, remember the heroes who sacrificed their blood for the country, and remember the loyal and courageous souls who fought with their lives. Every inch of the land they fought so bloodily is every safe place where we live now. Therefore, may the mountains and rivers be unharmed, the country and the people be safe, and the world be safe!
