With the release of the popular movie "Chosin Lake" some time ago, everyone's attention was focused on several major battles to resist US aggression and aid Korea. The icy battles on Chosin Lake are also very frequent, but the fame will be a little smaller than the Shangganling we mentioned today.
The Battle of Shangganling, which was originally a small-scale campaign, was fought by the Chinese Volunteer Army against the "United Nations Army" in and around Shangganling. It is famous for the fact that, because of the stubborn resistance of the volunteers, this position was regained back and forth, and it was fought on the scale of a battle.
U.S.-led United Nations forces began attacking North Korea in 1950. The Korean People's Army had no combat effectiveness in the face of the well-equipped U.S. army and could only fight and retreat.
The war "fire at the city gate, affecting the pond fish" continues to escalate, and will soon spread to the northeast border of our country. The purpose of the US military is obviously sinister, and after our party realized the vain intentions of the US military, our Government has issued many warnings to the US side.
However, the U.S. military did not think so, and the Communists won the liberation war because of good luck and the weakness of their opponents, and did not pay attention to the Communist Party and China at all. Although China is now led by the Communist Party, its power is still at its disposal.
The U.S. military's self-style style and attitude of not taking the Communist Party seriously, coupled with the fact that the homeland is likely to be invaded again. After weighing it up, my Government held an emergency meeting, which decided that our side would send troops to support the DPRK.

In this way, Peng Dehuai volunteered to lead the army to Korea, and the morale of the volunteer army was high, and he planned to show his skills again in this battle. It has to be said that the gap in equipment between the two sides has directly led to the extremely difficult operation of our army.
However, our army knows how to learn from each other's strong points and complement each other's weaknesses, and uses excellent combat skills to maneuver with the US military, coupled with the tacit understanding of the cooperation between the KOREAN army and our army, after several battles between the two sides, the US military has not highlighted much superiority.
However, the purpose of the Chinese volunteers coming to Korea was not to engage in a tug-of-war with the US military, but to drive the imperialists led by the United States out of Korea in order to win the battle. Because after this tug-of-war has lasted for a long time, our army will easily suffer losses in terms of supplies.
The pressure of the United States in terms of public opinion is also very large, in the face of such a weak North Korea, the combat strength of 16 countries has been gathered but has not won victory as soon as possible. Therefore, in the idea that both sides want to win, they met in Shangganling.
The US military did not reserve firepower in this battle, and constantly increased its troops and weapons in the Shangganling area. The disparity in the strength of our army in battle is huge, but even in the contrast of such inferiority, our army has never slackened its insistence on its position for a single moment.
The battle was completely stalemate and ended with the successful holding of the position by the volunteers. The scramble lasted for 43 days, with the two armies repeatedly controlling their positions 59 times.

The Battle of Shangganling was more intense than ever, and the use of heavy weapons was unprecedented. Our casualties were also very heavy, up to one-fifth of the heroes died in this battle. Of course, the UN forces are more serious.
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, two special-class combat heroes appeared, one of whom was killed in the Battle of Shangganling, and he was Huang Jiguang, who blocked the eye with his body. Huang Jiguang, who was only 21 years old, was originally a correspondent and took the initiative to request the completion of the blasting mission.
In this war, a total of 12,347 combat heroes received third-class merit or above, accounting for more than one-fifth of the total number of combatants. Their courage and desperation have brought a rare victory.
Throughout the Battle of Shangganling, the myth of the "invincibility" of the US army was broken. Even when the enemy is strong and we are weak, it still causes heavy losses to the enemy. There were more than 25,500 casualties, as well as a large number of aircraft artillery and tanks.
Although our army also suffered more than 10,000 casualties, it only allowed the enemy to occupy the forward position of two squads of our army. This campaign gave the US military a new understanding of the volunteer army, not afraid of sacrifice, dare to dedicate, and bravely move forward.
What they did not understand was why, under such a strong firepower, coupled with the fact that the US army had more than 20 battalions compared to our army with only two companies, how could it be so difficult to capture this high ground? Maybe they still haven't figured out why they failed.
The reason is actually very simple, the new China that has passed the test of the times cannot be invaded by anyone at will, and every volunteer army that fights in blood is defending the integrity of the territory with its life and faith. As General Qin Jiwei said, this is not only a battle, but also a fight of culture and faith.
In order to prevent the founding and rise of new China, the United States used the Kuomintang to constantly stir up internal relations between the two parties. Chiang Kai-shek also relied on the support of the United States to continuously develop his own dictatorship, tearing up the Double Tenth Agreement in 1946 and killing our party.
In order to achieve the evil purpose of the United States, it constantly supplied the Kuomintang army with weapons and equipment, and the final result was naturally that it failed to do as usual. But what they did not expect was that these weapons and equipment had also become weapons used by our army to confront them in three years.
After the Kuomintang lost the hearts of the people and collapsed and retreated to Taiwan, the United States also ridiculed Chiang Kai-shek's incompetence, believing that it was a war that pigs could win, but still lost the battle. Blame everything on the poor command ability of the leader.
In the face of these remarks and evaluations, Chiang Kai-shek, who has always been very angry, was very unhappy and even felt very wronged, but it is true that this is the case, and it is impossible to refute it. He could only swallow his breath and wait for the opportunity.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > Chiang Kai-shek's ridicule of the US side can not win the war, but also the admiration for the volunteer army</h1>
After the outbreak of the Korean War, our army supported Korea, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away from the mainland, also received a report on the situation in the Korean War.
The joint army led by the United States should be very strong in theory, and the supply of weapons should be more supported than before, but the end is not the same as that of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
When Chiang Kai-shek read the Shangganling War Report, he also felt shocked in his heart, gave a high evaluation of the volunteer army's battle, and expressed his views and admiration for the mainland army.
Nowadays, the mountains and rivers are safe, the country is strong and the people are rich, these are all the volunteer soldiers who sacrificed for the country in those years, although they are buried in that foreign land, but in this battle they have fought the military prestige, but also the national prestige. They have always lived in the hearts of the Chinese people, and they have let the world know that the sons and daughters of China are not easy to bully, and they no longer have to be oppressed by any country.
