In the movie "Changjin Lake"

Volunteer Soldiers

Wu Qianli

Interspersed led by 7 companies

Destroyed the headquarters of the US "Polar Bear Regiment" in one fell swoop

And on the real battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea

There is indeed such a heroic company commander!

Volunteer Army 27th Corps 80 Division 239 Regiment 4 Company

When it was company commander

Li Changyan

Only 22 years old

He led the team in the first battle in Xinxingli

Destroyed the command post of the US "Polar Bear Regiment"

Seized the "Polar Bear Group" flag

△The then company commander Li Changyan

Today, 71 years have passed

Li Changyan is

93 years

old

Recently, reporters from the main station found the old man

Recalling the experience of the bloody battle

The old company commander is still

very tough

The instructor tragically died in the battle

Li Changyan led the soldiers to destroy the enemy command post

November 1950

The second battle of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea started

Li Changyan

, the then 4th company commander

Lead soldiers to participate in the battle to encircle the enemy in Xinxingli

This sharp knife company

Braved the extreme cold to advance into Changjin Lake

Go deep behind the enemy to detect the enemy's situation, wait for the opportunity to move...

△ Map of battle history in Xinxingli

Reminiscent of the war years of continuous artillery fire

Li Changyan is still fresh in his memory

In the wind and snow near minus 40 ℃

The soldiers only wore a thin coat

"At that time we couldn't wear or eat

Stir fry the sorghum rice noodles when you are hungry

Stuff your mouth

The company fights mainly with rifles

Weapon and enemy ratio

Ten of them can't keep up with one of them."

Li Changyan said

"We have enemies 10 miles forward

Battalion Commander Orders 4 Company

Reconnaissance while advancing, annihilate the enemy according to the situation"

On November 27, night fell

Not long after the company set off

I found a canopy in front with a light inside

Li Changyan leads the soldiers

Quietly touched the enemy

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides

Unfortunately, in this battle

Instructor Zhuang Yuandong died

△Instructor Zhuang Yuandong

Li Changyan recalled

"The instructor led a platoon to charge towards the enemy

I lead two rows here

The platoon leader came and told me that the instructor Zhuang Yuandong had sacrificed

My anger suddenly rose."

He shouted to the soldiers:

"Fight to death! Don't leave one!

Take revenge for the instructor!

"

The morale of the soldiers is up

4th company fighters use terrain

Leap forward and outflank the enemy

The U.S. Army was caught off guard by this close tactic

Except for one that fled in a hurry, most of them were wiped out on the spot.

Li Changyan and the soldiers

I don't know what they destroyed

It was the command post of the so-called "Polar Bear Regiment"

Killed the famous

Colonel McLean, head of the "Polar Bear Regiment"

This captured US "Polar Bear Regiment" flag

Now displayed in the military museum↓

The old hero points out the reason for the victory

"Three conditions are indispensable"

Fighting in Xinxingli

4 companies killed more than 300 enemies

Captured 12 howitzers

For the 27th Army of the Volunteer Army

Equipped with inferior equipment to complete annihilation, modernize and equip 1 strengthening regiment of the U.S. Army

Made a vital contribution

December 1950

The company was awarded by the 27th Corps of the Volunteers

"Xingxingli Fighting Model Company"

title

Company commander Li Changyan was awarded second-class merit

△ Li Changyan when he was young

Starvation, frostbite

Weapon and equipment power disparity

How did we win the battle?

The old company commander concluded:

"Wise command, tenacious soldiers, support from the people

Three conditions are indispensable for victory."

Now remember that year

The old hero's words are loud and loud

"There is always sacrifice in war

But you can’t retreat just because of sacrifice

You have to rush, you have to fight, you have to fight

I had already put life and death out of the way in the war.

You can only move forward, not back."

Later, the "Xingxingli Fighting Model Company" was transferred many times.

Reorganized into the 4th company of a brigade of the 82nd Army of the Army

△ "Xingxingli Fighting Model Company" battle flag

Too many comrades fell in a pool of blood

I hope the younger generation can remember forever

In 1966, Li Changyan transferred from the army

Retired after 22 years of working in the company

For many years, Li Changyan never took the initiative

Mention these feats

Many details are not even known to my family

The old man said that whether it is a soldier or an employee

Have to provoke a responsibility

Low-key

△ Li Changyan looks through his diary

Recalling the comrades who died on the Korean battlefield

The old company commander burst into tears:

"There were too many comrades falling in a pool of blood back then

Trade life for today's flourishing age

Those of us who are still alive will never forget"

△ Map of battle history in Xinxingli

There is a line in the movie "Changjin Lake":

"We have finished all the battles that should be fought

Our younger generations don’t have to fight."

Touched countless netizens

As someone who has experienced this war firsthand

Li Changyan said

"We only had one idea

Just to win

When the enemy falls, we are victorious!

"

At the end of the interview, the old man said his wish:

I hope the younger generation will always remember

Today is hard to come by!

△Li Changyan salutes the army

It's them

Guarding this era with life

The mountains and rivers are all right
