The country is safe and sound! 

  The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is a history of war that shines through the annals of history, a great victory that the Chinese people will never forget.

In October 1950, the Chinese People's Volunteers went out of the country to fight for justice. During the war, many inscribed stories and epic characters emerged.

Star Frost has repeatedly moved, and today, 70 years later, opening up this period of history, the new children of Xihuang Shengli also left a strong mark in this war.

  On June 25, 1950, the Korean Civil War broke out. On October 8, the Chinese People’s Volunteers were formed, ready to enter the Korean War immediately to fight against the American invaders.

On October 15th, US President Truman and MacArthur held talks and planned to occupy all of North Korea by November 3. After the talks, the invading US forces marched northward and occupied Pyongyang on the 19th, and continued to push toward the Yalu River on the border between China and North Korea.

At the same time, its air force continued to bomb the border areas of my country's northeast, blatantly burning the war against China.

  On October 19, the 38th, 39th, 40th, and 42nd Corps of the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army, the 8th Artillery Division, and the 1st Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment crossed from Anton (now Dandong), Changdian River Mouth, Ji'an, etc. Yalu River, headed to the Korean battlefield.

  After the Chinese People's Volunteers entered the DPRK, they traveled night and night. Song Xuewen, a veteran, said in an interview: We have arrived in North Korea, it is dawn, and we have encountered the Korean People's Army.

Some people in the Korean People's Army can speak Chinese.

We said: "You are here, how about the front line?" The Korean People's Army said: "No, I can't stand it. We lost all the artillery. The 16-nation coalition of the United States has come and can't stand it." We said: "Let's The Chinese troops are here."

  Volunteers immediately joined the war after entering the DPRK, but at that time the weapons and equipment of the two warring parties between China and the United States were seriously unequal.

In the eyes of U.S. 8th Army Commander Taylor, the first batch of Chinese People’s Volunteers to enter the DPRK "excelled in quantity and courage. They were well-trained in tactics to match the terrain, but their equipment was extremely primitive, most of which we had already sent. Into the antiques of the military museum".

  At that time, the Chinese People's Volunteers not only had backward weapons and equipment, but also had a huge gap between the logistics supply and the United States.

U.S. military officers and soldiers wear hoods, woolen underwear, sweater pants, and weatherproof mountaineering clothes outside their jackets.

There are two to three layers of wool insoles inside combat boots.

Since the 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army was a southern unit, and because of the rush to enter the DPRK, there was basically no cotton-padded clothes for the north to enter the winter. This resulted in extremely terrible non-combat casualties in the subsequent Changjin Lake battle, and the number even exceeded the war casualties.

The winter clothes of the remaining volunteer army units are mainly cotton-padded clothes and trousers. Although they can keep warm, once they are soaked in water, they will become hardened and lose their effectiveness in keeping warm.

In the Korean War, tens of thousands of casualties caused by frostbite caused extremely heavy casualties.

  When veteran Qin Qingchang recalled the difficult struggle environment, he said: The grain was transported from the country, there was no other grain, only millet.

After filling one grain bag with millet, one person will eat dried rice with millet seeds as soon as they are tied and worn on the body.

  From October 25, 1950 to June 10, 1951, the Chinese People’s Volunteers and the U.S. Army fought five major battles on the battlefield to resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. The suddenness of the battle launched a sudden attack on the enemy and achieved the final victory.

  The veteran Song Xuewen recalled the course of the march and remembered everything in his eyes: "On the march in the dark, the U.S. aircraft throws flares, and it shines on the ground. Even a needle is seen, and it shines so bright. When the U.S. military threw the flares, our troops went to both sides of the highway. They all lie on the edge of the highway and hide."

  "We will hide in the air-raid shelter as soon as the enemy hits. If you stop hitting, I will hit you again. If you stop hitting, we should hit you." Ma Wenyi said when recalling the battlefield full of gunpowder.

  In the autumn of 1951, Cao Hefang, who was later Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of Shijiazhuang, wrote a poem on the Korean battlefield, "Ambush at night, and sleep in the cave in the morning. Tree branches build a bed, and a clear spring flows under him. Bent down to drink water, and perform when you wake up. Ship. Why are you afraid of hardship and danger, and aim to eliminate the smoke.” This poem portrays the life and battle scenes of the volunteers on the Korean battlefield at that time, and expresses the volunteers' optimistic war attitude and firm fighting aspirations.

  "At that time, the cadres, the company commanders and the battalion commanders, didn't keep any of them, but gave them to the soldiers, and kept them all for the soldiers," said Zhang Hongduo, a veteran.

  The years have not lived, and the seasons have flowed. 70 years have passed since the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea went abroad. With a flick of a finger, the gunpowder dissipated, and many past events have been obliterated in the long river of time, but the volunteers dare to fight, fight, and sacrifice The spirit has become an inexhaustible driving force for future generations to advance.
