While the warring parties were negotiating a peaceful armistice, the U.S. military, in order to increase its leverage at the negotiating table, ordered Lieutenant Clemens to lead a company of U.S. troops to attack 255 Heights, which had no military value.
They knew that the Panmunjom armistice negotiations could lead to a peace agreement at any time, so some soldiers were reluctant to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Under his command, the U.S. army fought with the Chinese and North Korean troops on the Pig Steak Hill position, and even engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat, and by the time reinforcements arrived, the 135-man company had 25 men left.
Some people call this film "The Americans Made 'Shangganling'"" but in fact, it is not, the plot of Pork Chop Mountain is not about Shangganling.
In the Korean battlefield that year, the Chinese side referred to "Shangganling", which the US military called "Triangle Mountain"; while the "Pork Chop Mountain" in the MOUTH of the US Army, the Volunteer Army called it Seokdandong North Mountain, so the Pork Chop Mountain and Shangganling were completely different places.
"why did Chinese choose this mountain,
Because they know as much as we do that this mountain is meaningless,
It is precisely because it is worthless that it has value,
Want to see if the other person can also afford meaningless sacrifices! ”

Directed by: Brian Iglesias
Writers: Brian Iglesias
Starring: None
Douban 7.8 IMDb is not available

Although many people criticized China for not winning the Korean War, the large proportion of casualties, and the heavy casualties, the United States was the world's first team at that time, regardless of weapons, equipment, and personnel quality.
Before that, they had contempt for the Chinese army, but it was clear in the film that when they really faced the Chinese army, they were embarrassed, defeated, and afraid.

History is a little girl dressed up.
9. "Ice Blood Chosin Lake" 2011
Director: Yan Pin / Fu Yong / Liu Zhihuan
Writers: Wang Zuo / Yan Pin
Douban 9.3 IMDb is not available
This documentary produced by Bayi Film Studio has been produced for 11 years, won awards for 13 years, and was not screened to the public until 19 years on the Movie Channel.
The Battle of Chosin Lake was the eastern front of the second campaign to resist the United States and aid Korea, and was the most tragic battle in the Korean War.
At that time, the Ninth Corps of the Volunteer Army successfully divided and surrounded the US 1st Marine Division and the 7th Infantry Division with a superior strength of 160,000 troops in the Chosin Lake area in northeastern Korea, totaling about 30,000 people.
The U.S. 1st Marine Division suffered heavy losses and suffered 13,961 casualties.
The Volunteer Corps, which severely damaged the 1st Marine Division, also paid a great price, with more than 14,000 combat casualties and 30,732 non-combat attritions caused by frostbite.
Due to the severe cold, insufficient supplies, firepower gap, and US air superiority, although the Volunteer Army failed to achieve the goal of completely annihilating the 1st Marine Division, this battle reversed the situation of passive defense of the Sino-DPRK coalition forces.
Completely disillusionment that the "United Nations Army" took North Korea for three months was completely shattered.
The Battle of Chosin Lake set a record for the total annihilation of a single regiment of the US army in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, forcing the US ace troops to experience the "longest retreat" in history.
The coldest winter, the most honorable people.
"All history is contemporary history."
