But this victory was actually hard-won, and it was almost played by the older generation of soldiers.
At that time, New China had just been established and had just experienced War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation. It is severely weakened and impoverished. We faced the United States, the strongest country in the world at that time. They sent ace troops to end the war as soon as possible. Coupled with the freezing weather of MINUS 40 degrees Celsius around Changjin Lake, the Ninth Corps of Volunteers rushed into the DPRK and did not have enough clothes and food to keep out the cold. However, our people's volunteers still went forward bravely and went north to help North Korea for the happiness and peace of the people.
The Battle of Changjin Lake: Sadness is more inspiring. We should strive for self-improvement and exchange peace from the martyrs.
At that time, there was a great disparity in equipment between the enemy and us. In order to win this battle, we can only fight with an iron will.
Volunteers were full of blood and in bad conditions. On the first day of entering the DPRK, more than 800 people were frostbitten, and some soldiers' ears were frozen off. Because they are afraid of being discovered by American planes, they can't make a fire to cook, so they can only live by eating hard potatoes.

In spite of such bad conditions, they still don't want to give in. Wearing a thin military uniform and carrying a heavy gun, he ambushed in the valley and snowfield next to Changjin Lake, waiting for the moment when the consciousness of the American army relaxed, and suddenly rushed out from all directions to surround the lost American army.

This kind of play is very tiring, and there is almost no time to rest. You can only be vigilant at all times to win again and again. However, no one is a deserter. Some soldiers, even if they were unconscious from the cold, still rushed forward by instinct and kept a close eye on the American troops when they heard the sound of the charge.
How cruel was the war at that time? You can see it from only one detail. Under the attack of the volunteers, the American army collapsed thousands of miles. On their way back, there is only one way: Watergate Bridge. The first thing the volunteers did was to blow up the Watergate Bridge. Cut off American supplies. The whole campaign lasted for a month, and the Watergate Bridge alone was bombed three times and repaired three times.
The American battalion commander who had witnessed the war recalled the war like this: "I have never seen such a battle. I once met the last German counterattack in World War II, but it was not as fierce as the battle of Changjin Lake. That scene is really unbearable. "
This is our great volunteer army. With their own flesh and blood, they will never forget the mighty American army, leaving behind a nightmare of several lives.
Perhaps every volunteer soldier on the battlefield has a belief in his heart: the people are behind me, and I will fight to the last minute anyway.
In the end, our volunteers paid a heavy price of 19202 casualties and more than 4000 people froze to death, but finally won the war.
