Where is Lake Changjin?

Lake Changjin is an artificial lake located on the Changjin River in the north of Korea, and it is also the second largest artificial lake in North Korea, where the famous Battle of Changjin Lake took place.

Coinciding with the National Day holiday, Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark and Lin Chaoxian jointly produced and directed the film "Battle of Changjin Lake", which will be released in the mainland on September 30th, 2002/KLOC-0. Based on the Battle of Changjin Lake, this film tells a touching story of a volunteer company holding its ground in an extremely harsh environment, bravely killing the enemy and making important contributions to the victory of the entire Battle of Changjin Lake.

I checked the information on the internet myself, and the battle of Changjin Lake was a confrontation in the second War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. The two sides involved in the war were the Ninth Corps of Chinese people's Volunteer Army and the Tenth Army of the United States. In this war, Chinese people's Volunteer Army set a record of annihilating an entire regiment of the US military. This war reversed the situation of volunteers in the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea and became a turning point in the Korean War.

Then some people will ask, why did the battle of Changjin Lake become the focus of many people's attention?

In my opinion, there are mainly the following reasons:

First, this war is a direct confrontation war.

In this war, Chinese people's Volunteer Army did not choose other tactical arrangements, but chose frontal combat. In the whole history of the Korean War, such a battle was unprecedented, so after the war started, it naturally attracted many people's attention.

Second: This war is an important turning point of the whole Korean War.

The war ended with Chinese people's Volunteer Army's victory. After the victory of the battle of Changjin Lake, the volunteers boosted their morale, laid the foundation for the victory of the whole Korean War, and left a deep shadow on the US military in future operations.

Third: this war is the most disastrous for both sides.

In this war, both the People's Volunteers and the US military suffered heavy losses, especially when the People's Volunteers were short of ammunition and backward in weapons and equipment, while the US military suffered heavy casualties due to tactical mistakes and bad weather.

Fourth: the operational conditions of this war are unprecedented.

"Ice Sculpture Company" is a microcosm of the harsh conditions in Lake Changjin at that time. A company of soldiers were all frozen into ice sculptures overnight, which was unprecedented in the whole war. It can be said that the fighting environment in Lake Changjin is very bad, and people still remember this war.

The victory of the battle of Changjin Lake can be said to be of great significance. Not only won the victory of the whole Korean battlefield, but also made the whole world sit up and take notice of China and passed the war. Let's win the respect of the world through strength and let our poor and backward countries stand up again.
