Author: Forget about the rivers and lakes
Jiangsu, as an excellent province that participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, contributed many brave fighters and heroes. In the Battle of Changjin Lake and the Battle of Shangganling, the soldiers of Jiangsu showed a strong will to fight and a heroic spirit. With their blood and lives, they defended the dignity and security of their homeland.
First of all, Changjin Lake and Shangganling were the two most tragic battles in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. The Battle of Changjin Lake was the second battle of the volunteers against the American army, and the 20th Army performed particularly well, especially some companies of the 38th Army and the 20th Army, and they played like gods. For example, the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 335th Regiment of the 112th Division of the 38th Army played a "3rd Company of Songkufeng Special Merit", while the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 172nd Regiment of the 58th Division of the 20th Army played a small Gaoling "Yang Gensi Company". It can be seen that the brutality of the battle at Changjin Lake can be imagined.
During the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Jiangsu produced many heroic soldiers, the most famous of which was Yang Gensi. Yang Gensi is from Taixing City, Jiangsu Province, and is the first "special meritorious hero" and "special combat hero" of the volunteers. In the battle of Changjin Lake, he led his troops to repel 8 American attacks, and finally died with more than 40 American troops in the enemy group. His heroic deeds deeply touched people, and his name became a representative of Jiangsu heroes.
In addition to Yang Gensi, there were many other Jiangsu fighters who also performed well. For example, Zhou Wenjiang, he is the deputy battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 177th Regiment of the 59th Division of the 20th Army of the Ninth Corps, and he is also a combat hero. In order to retain the national combat hero, he was urgently transferred back to the division headquarters and became a key target for protection. Xue Jianqiang was another heroic Jiangsu warrior who was renamed "Jianqiangling" to commemorate his heroic deeds after he died in battle. There is also Wei Yude, who returned to his hometown after the war and devoted himself to grassroots work to help his fellow villagers live a good life.
With their blood and lives, these Jiangsu fighters made great contributions to the cause of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea. Their heroic deeds have inspired generations of people to continue to inherit and carry forward the positive energy of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea.
The heroes of Jiangsu who emerged during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea demonstrated the tenacious will and great patriotism of the Jiangsu people with their courage and dedication. They are shining stars in the battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and their deeds will always be remembered in people's hearts and inspire us to keep moving forward and striving for the realization of the Chinese dream.
