/kloc-in the winter of 0/950, the bank of Changjin Lake on the Korean Peninsula was covered with snow. Walking in the snow, people can only show their upper body. The temperature is surprisingly cold, reaching a terrible MINUS 40 degrees! Smith, the division commander of the US Marine Corps 1 Division, stood in front of Changjin Lake and looked confidently to the northwest. The shortest distance from here to the Yalu River on the border between China and North Korea is less than 100 km. He smiled and said to the people around him, "It seems that we can go home early for Christmas." He led the First Marine Division, which experienced the purgatory-like Battle of Guadalcanal and the Battle of Okinawa. It was famous for its bravery and cruelty and never lost! Known as the "devil-like ghost", it is one of the strongest combat forces of the US military and can be called the trump card in the trump card. In his view, the war is about to win. Moreover, in this world of ice and snow, if your soldiers lurk 10 minutes, they can't eat a meal. How can there be an ambush enemy? As a result, the US military team continued to advance to the Yalu River in the ice and snow. Suddenly, the commander shouted, "Hold on!" It means "stop"! Later, he took out his telescope, and the scene in front of him surprised him: on the opposite side were rows of volunteer soldiers, looking straight ahead, holding steel guns and grenades, facing their own team. However, they did not fire! Only when several brave American soldiers climbed into the volunteer positions did they find that all the company 129 volunteers were frozen into ice sculptures! They lie prone in the trenches, maintaining a fighting posture, pointing their guns at the enemy, and their eyes are full of tenacity, courage and determination! This scene deeply shocked American soldiers and everyone was moved by it. American generals took off their caps and solemnly saluted the "Ice Sculpture Company" with the highest etiquette of soldiers! The American army moved on and soon met the second "ice sculpture company" of the Volunteers. But this time, they met a touching "Iceman"! Only when the signal sounded, countless volunteers emerged from under the snow, like magic soldiers falling from the sky, and the killing was deafening. Many soldiers found their legs frozen to death when they charged, but they didn't care so much. The man with one leg left jumps forward, and the man without legs climbs forward with his hands. This sudden offensive caught the American army off guard and fled in panic. The officers and men of the Ninth Corps of the Volunteers ambushed in the Changjin Lake area for six days and six nights, wearing thin clothes and eating potatoes frozen like stones, lying motionless in the snow at MINUS 40 degrees, never daring to sleep. No one dares to sleep, because once they fall asleep, they can't wake up the next day. This campaign created a record of annihilating an entire regiment of the US military, repelled the most elite ace troops of the US military, recovered the vast eastern region north of the 38th parallel, reversed the battlefield situation in one fell swoop, and became a turning point in the Korean War. But the price it paid was: casualties in Chinese people's Volunteer Army19,202, frostbite of 28,954 and freezing of more than 4,000 people. There are three companies that freeze to death on the ground and become "ice sculpture companies"! They are: 59th Division 177 Regiment, 2nd Battalion, 6th Company, 60th Division 1 80th Regiment/2nd Battalion, 5th Company, 80th Division, 242nd Regiment, 27th Army! Warriors and positions together, heroes and the sun and the moon shine together!
? Recently, I brushed the second brush at Watergate Bridge in Changjin Lake, and I still burst into tears many times. I saw Mei Sheng driving a tracked vehicle to the Watergate Bridge, saw the peace that was crushed by tanks and sacrificed heroically, saw Yu Congrong who sacrificed himself to attract enemy planes, saw the company commander who successfully bombed the bridge at the last minute with several bombs, and saw the last seven Wu Wanli who only had one person left but asked to keep the organizational system ... deeply moved by his ancestors, and bought it with his own blood and life. The mountains and rivers are safe and self-reliant. We will continue to carry forward the red spirit and the spirit of martyrs, take the initiative to play the exemplary role of party member, spread the torch of our ancestors, and defend the prosperous motherland!
