The Mystery of the Battle of Changjin Lake

in p>195, ace-to-ace, a heavy snow suddenly fell near MINUS 4 degrees Celsius. How should the Ninth Corps fight? Changjin Lake originates from the Changjin River on the Korean Peninsula and is the largest artificial water storage lake in northern Korea. The battle of Changjin Lake has become a tragic memory that Chinese and American soldiers have never forgotten. Because this battle is an important turning point in which the situation on the entire Korean battlefield has been completely changed. At the same time, it forced the most powerful American army in the world to experience the farthest defeat in history. Until now, the battle of Changjin Lake is still a model of war that American military academies continue to study and practice.

On June 25th, 195, while the 19th Corps was actively preparing for Taiwan Province, the Korean War broke out, and the People's Army under the command of Kim Il Sung invaded Seoul, the capital of South Korea. At this time, the United States-led coalition forces intervened in the Korean War, and the commander-in-chief of the United Nations Army, MacArthur, boarded the flagship McKinley Hill and personally supervised the war. The US Tenth Army landed in Incheon and wedged into Kim Il Sung's attack route from the rear. Before and after the attack, the fresh people's army was the main force and suffered heavy losses on both sides. MacArthur's combat action not only reversed the defeat of South Korea, but also crossed the 38th parallel and approached the Chinese border step by step.

The ambition of U.S. imperialism is to reach the Yalu River before Christmas. Faced with this urgent international situation, Mao Zedong resolutely appointed Peng Dehuai as Commander-in-Chief of Chinese people's Volunteer Army, and on October 19, 195, he led an army into the DPRK, which started the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. As the trump card of the People's Liberation Army, the Ninth Corps, which was preparing to attack Taiwan Province, temporarily shelved its original strategic tasks, and the ministries of the Ninth Corps began to move northward in turn. At that time, the 27 th Army, 26 th Army and 2 th Army all belonged to the 9 th Corps. According to the order of the 27 th Army, 2 th Army and 26 th Army, they first entered Shandong. As the commander, Song Shilun was thinking about how to fight this important Korean campaign. The train also crossed the Yalu River from Shandong to the Korean battlefield at the fastest speed.

On November 14th, 195, Commander Song Shilun considered that if he fought hard, he would not get any benefits. Only by introducing American troops into our ambush circle can we deal a heavy blow to American troops. So he ordered the 2 th Army, the 26 th Army and the 27 th Army to quickly assemble in the area of Changjin Lake and implement lurking and occupy favorable terrain to prepare for war. November 26 will be the general attack time, and we will wipe out the first division of the US Marine Corps. On this crucial day, a heavy snow came unexpectedly, which disrupted the whole operational plan of the Ninth Corps. At 4: 3 pm on the 27th, the general attack was launched. At this time, Changjin Lake in winter was dark.

The battle of Changjin Lake is a siege battle. Our volunteer soldiers intend to wipe out all the American troops, but due to the bad weather, a large number of soldiers are frozen to death and frostbite. Due to the injury of personnel, the goal of wiping out the enemy cannot be achieved. The U.S. military was forced to do nothing, and suffered heavy casualties. In order to avoid a greater fiasco, it left Changjin Lake and set foot on the returning ship despondently. For our volunteers, this is a battle of victory across history and will also change the major pattern of the historical process.
