Preface:
In 1951, five female volunteer soldiers suddenly disappeared on the Korean battlefield, and when cleaning the battlefield afterwards, no trace of them could be found.
It wasn't until 50 years later, when an American journalist came to China with a few paintings, that the truth about the disappearance of volunteers was revealed for us.
What exactly happened then? Where did these female volunteer soldiers go?
Rush to the Korean battlefield
In 1950, the US military openly crossed the 38th parallel, repeatedly invaded China's territorial airspace, and bombed the Dandong area, and the war was about to spread to the Yalu River, and northeast China was in danger.
After seeing this situation, Chairman Mao made a decisive decision and led 100,000 volunteers under the leadership of General Peng Dehuai to cross the Yalu River and rush to the Korean battlefield.
Of these, most of the male volunteers were responsible for fighting at the front, while female comrades were responsible for logistics.
When the US military first entered the battlefield, it arrogantly shouted: "Take Korea before Thanksgiving, end the battle and return to the United States." ”
However, under the hard fighting of the volunteers, until the end of the third battle, the American army did not get any benefits, but was retreated by the volunteers to the south of the 38th parallel.
These American troops, armed with modern weapons, never imagined that they would be defeated by seemingly ordinary volunteers.
In order to gain a first profit on the battlefield, the American army replaced the original commander MacArthur with Ridgway. Ridgway is a man not to be underestimated, and before entering the battlefield, he studied a lot of the battle plans of the Chinese army. In the end, he really discovered a fatal weakness.
That is, our army will take a rest every once in a while, the main reason is to wait for supplies. After seeing through this essence, Ridgway focused on the rest of the volunteers, first knocking out the transportation lines of the volunteers, and then launching an attack on the volunteers.
After seeing this situation, our army also adjusted its tactics in time, and after retreating to the north of the 38th parallel, slowly waiting for the arrival of materials before attacking.
In this process, in order to repel the volunteers, the US army sent a large number of fighters to attack the volunteers, and in order to prevent the US troops from moving forward, the volunteers carried it abruptly and absolutely no longer pushed back. They must hold their positions until the logistics units successfully retreat.
And these 5 female volunteer soldiers disappeared at this time.
The five female warriors successfully rendezvous
On the battlefield, because the firepower of the American army was too fierce, the superior decided to let the three female nurses evacuate first with the wounded. At first, the evacuation went very smoothly, but halfway through, a group of enemies suddenly appeared, frantically attacking two female soldiers of our army.
When the three female nurses saw this situation, they decided to split into two teams, with one female nurse evacuating with the wounded first, and the remaining two female nurses going to rescue the two female soldiers.
At night, two female nurses decisively shot at the American troops, startling the American soldiers, and the two female volunteers also took the opportunity to escape and go with the nurses to join the troops.
After encountering the large army, the volunteers retreated together towards the designated place. At the same time, the US military, frightened by the gunfire, also realized that he may have been tricked. So he hurriedly chased in the direction of the retreat of the volunteers.
These volunteer soldiers themselves were wounded, walking very slowly, and they saw that they would soon be overtaken by the American army. At this critical juncture, the five female soldiers made a great decision, and they led the enemy away alone.
The female soldiers let the wounded all lie down, not making a single sound. Then the five female soldiers deliberately made a sound and ran in the exact opposite direction of the evacuation site.
Sure enough, the American troops were confused by these female soldiers, and all the soldiers chased in the direction of the female soldiers' escape, and the wounded also got rid of the American troops and safely evacuated to the rear.
The plans of the female soldiers were disrupted
The female soldiers had thought of escaping deep into the mountains and hiding in a hidden place. If the American army cannot find them, they will naturally evacuate, and by then the wounded volunteers will probably have reached the base camp, and they will just look for an opportunity to return.
So they ran into the mountains and forests, and the night was very deep, and dozens of American soldiers did not see the figure of 5 female soldiers. Just as the U.S. troops were secretly cursing and planning to evacuate, they suddenly heard the sound of stones slipping.
It turned out that it was because a female soldier accidentally kicked a stone with her foot during the dodge, which was heard by the American military.
Seeing that the US troops originally planned to withdraw, but now they returned to look for it again, the female soldiers secretly said that the long flight consumed almost all their strength, and if they continued to run, they would be caught up by the US army sooner or later. So the only way for them now is to find a safe place to hide.
Fortunately, they soon found a cave, and one of the female soldiers found that the cave was very large and could also use the terrain advantage of the cave to fight if chased by the enemy.
So she asked a female soldier to stay outside, and the remaining four went to the cave to check on the situation, and if it was safe, everyone took turns to keep vigil and survive the night.
As the four volunteers walked towards the depths of the cave, they suddenly heard a sound, and the four immediately became alert and ready for battle, one of the female soldiers boldly walked forward, and after seeing the scene in the cave, all four were startled.
There was no one else in the cave, only a pregnant pregnant woman who was now nervously clutching her stomach and looking at the four female soldiers.
After seeing this situation, the female soldiers began to inquire about the situation. It turned out that the pregnant woman was North Korean, and after the North Korea was attacked by American troops, she and her husband hid in a cave, and her husband went to look for food the night before, but has not returned until now.
After hearing these words, the female soldiers understood that the pregnant woman's husband was probably less fierce, otherwise they would not have allowed a pregnant woman to live alone in the cave for so long.
Looking at the pregnant woman's belly, it seemed that it was almost time to give birth, and after discussing with the pregnant woman, the female soldiers decided to live in the cave first, and then look for an opportunity to take the pregnant woman with them.
At this time, the pregnant woman has not eaten for a day and a night, if it is just herself, there is still a child in the stomach, and if she does not eat, I am afraid that her life will be in danger.
After the female soldiers saw it, they first fed the pregnant women they brought with them, and then thought about how to break through the pursuit of the US army and reach the base camp of the volunteers.
At this time, the American army had also discovered the cave entrance, but they did not rush in, but set up camp nearby, and shouted loudly towards the cave entrance, hoping that these volunteer women would surrender.
The female volunteer soldiers who saw this situation were very puzzled, their numbers were far inferior to these US troops, and if they really fought, the chances of winning were minimal, but why did these US troops not choose to attack?
In fact, it is not because the US military is soft-hearted, but in the ranks of the US military, there is a reporter named Mary. The main job of this US military team is to send Mary safely to the battlefield, and to film the scenes of the heroic battle of the American army and distribute it to American newspapers to boost the morale of the American people.
Now seeing these five female soldiers, the US military has a new plan in mind, that is, to photograph the surrender of the volunteers, so that it can be published in the newspaper, which will definitely suppress the morale of the volunteers.
One of the female nurses, who used to be an art teacher, painted a portrait of everyone and told everyone: "This will prove that we have been here before, and someone will remember us in the future." ”
Soon, a day passed, probably fearing the U.S. military, and the pregnant North Korean woman was frightened into giving birth early. The volunteer soldiers were anxious and worried, not knowing what to do.
In the end, the previous art teacher walked out of the cave and negotiated with the American military: "We can surrender, but this pregnant woman must give birth safely, and you must ensure their safety." ”
In the end, the U.S. military agreed to the request. With the help of three nurses, the pregnant woman was able to give birth. When the US military saw this situation, he said impatiently: "Now we can surrender." ”
The five volunteers walked out of the cave hand in hand and got into the American military car together. The volunteers handed over the children and pregnant women to the journalist Mary. After Mary entered the cave entrance, she found the portrait on the ground, and as soon as she picked it up, she heard the sound of an explosion not far from the cave entrance.
It turned out that these female warriors did not want to surrender at all, and when the American car drove to safety, they detonated the explosives they were carrying and died with the enemy.
epilogue
Fifty years later, Mary came to China with portraits of five female volunteers, which revealed the truth of what had happened.
At that time, the volunteers resisted US aggression and aided Korea regardless of their own dangers, and it was precisely because of their selfless dedication that we had our current good life.
