Chapter 135: Battle of Chosin Reservoir, the man is in the position!
"In order to avoid intensive bombing and low-altitude reconnaissance by aircraft, we could only hide during the day and move out at night, fighting in the snow-covered mountains and woods."

"The wind was so cold! The cotton coat on my body was frozen through and felt like iron when I wore it!"

"At that time, there was a slogan in the team: First, defeat the severe cold, and then defeat the enemy!"

"How many soldiers were frozen to death!"

"Sometimes, we really hope that planes will bomb us, so that we can create bomb craters to keep us warm..."

[Oh my god, just by listening to his description, I can imagine how tragic it was! ]

[Being frozen to death is simply unimaginable! 】

[I am even more confused, how did the Eagle Sauce lose? ]

[And it's not just the Eagles, it's the United Nations Army, a total of 16 countries, haven't they defeated China together? ]

[I can't think of any other explanation except that everyone is a superhero! ]

[If he was really a superhero, would he freeze to death? 】

Although Chen Lu and Anna did not see it with their own eyes, they were shocked enough after hearing the old man's description.

It’s really hard to imagine what it’s like to be frozen to death?
The old man sighed and continued, "Just as deadly as the cold is hunger."

"At that time, our fighter planes had not yet joined the battle, and the Eagles had complete control of the air."

“Chow mein and other supplies simply couldn’t be delivered to the front lines.”

"We didn't have anything to eat for two or three days. The soldiers cried and said, 'We are not afraid of death. We can take the hill!'"

"We only have one request, give everyone a few potatoes, even just one!"

"But not only the soldiers, but also the regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and even the division commanders did not take a single sip."

[How simple and plain their request was, just a frozen potato! ]

[Such a simple request could not be met, and at this time, Eagle Sauce ate canned luncheon meat and roast turkey! ]

[It is difficult for people to maintain their vital signs when they are severely hungry, let alone fight a war.]

[Even in this state, they still want to seize the hilltop. What a strong fighting spirit! 】

It was in such a harsh environment that the tragic Battle of Chosin Reservoir broke out in the heavy snow!
Both sides deployed their best troops in the Battle of Changjin Lake, and the main force of the Volunteer Army was the 9th Division.

They made great military achievements and made outstanding contributions in the Battle of Menglianggu and the Battle of Huaihai.

Due to the strict military discipline during the liberation of the Magic City, the film was made into the movie The Sentry Under Neon Lights.

The 1st Marine Division and the 3rd and 7th Infantry Divisions that fought against them were recognized as the most powerful division-level combat units in the world at that time.

But there is a problem. They have been conducting landing combat training on the southeast coast for a long time.

After living in the warm environment of the south for a long time, it is definitely difficult to adapt to an environment suddenly experiencing temperatures of minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius.

What's more, we can't even provide one cotton-padded jacket per person.

Countless people were frozen to death or suffered frostbite, and the casualty ratio was extremely high.

But we need the Ninth Division. Facing the world's most powerful army combat unit, I can't think of anyone else who can tackle this tough challenge except the Ninth Division!
In this way, the volunteers endured extreme hunger, marched for more than ten days, and arrived at the ambush site ahead of time.

There was a sudden heavy snowfall in Changjin Lake, and they launched a surprise attack on the Eagle Sauce who was in the warm tent in the snow.

This was a battle they would never forget.

They were roasting a fire in the tent, eating canned luncheon meat and turkey, and planning to play poker for fun, but the Chinese People's Volunteer Army suddenly appeared and caught them off guard.

Decades later, their bodies still tremble involuntarily when they recall this battle.

The sense of oppression brought by the Volunteer Army is too strong!

The Vietnam War was the nightmare of the Americans, and so was the Battle of Chosin Reservoir.

This frightened many people and caused them to suffer from PTSD. They would tremble when they heard the word "volunteer army"! However, after being surrounded, the Eagle Sauce was unwilling to sit and wait for death, and soon launched a counterattack.

They used the firepower network composed of tanks and artillery, and fought back on the spot with their backs to fortifications.

Inside and outside the fortifications are truly two different worlds.

The American soldiers wore steel helmets, thick cotton coats, and ate canned luncheon meat and turkey.

Tanks, heavy machine guns, air support, and all kinds of advanced guns, whatever you want is available.

The volunteers wore straw hats on their heads, paper-thin cotton clothes on their bodies, and ate frozen potatoes and snow.

The weapons were backward guns, grenades, and bayonets.

It was supposed to be a perfect surprise attack, but it ended up being a difficult positional battle.

It’s because the gap between the weapons and equipment of the two sides is too big!

The Volunteer Army launched charges again and again, and the Eagle Sauce attempted to retreat and break out.

And it was Yang Gensi who was guarding the only way for retreat.

The Eagles were eager to break out, so they concentrated their artillery fire and launched a fierce attack, with shells raining down like raindrops.

Anyway, we have enough shells and a strong financial foundation, so we just need to fight hard and it will be over.

Yang Gensi said: No matter how great the difficulties are, I can destroy the enemy!
I don’t believe there are difficulties that cannot be overcome, I don’t believe there are tasks that cannot be completed, and I don’t believe there are enemies that cannot be defeated!

Don't embarrass yourself, we are still here!

It was with this belief that they defeated the enemy time and time again.

Even though the Eagle Sauce's artillery fire turned the snow-covered mountaintops into black and brown, it failed to force them to retreat even a single step.

The ammunition was gone, and the soldiers were gone.

They successfully completed the blocking mission.

Captain Yang asked his comrades to retreat with the heavy machine guns first, but he chose to stay.

When the Eagle Sauce launched its ninth fierce attack, he rushed forward with five kilograms of explosives in his arms!

With a loud bang, he died together with more than forty enemies!
He fulfilled his oath with his blood and life!

After capturing the position, the Eagles discovered in despair that this was only the first line of defense they had conquered.

If you want to break through successfully, there are several lines of defense waiting for you ahead.

Run, run as hard as you can!
If you run fast enough, you might be able to save your life!
In the Battle of Changjin Lake, the 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army created a record of annihilating an entire regiment of the Eagle Sauce.

This forced them to flee in panic, creating the longest retreat in history.

The 31st Regiment, known as the Polar Bear Regiment, was completely wiped out by the Volunteer Army.

Later, the regiment's combat number was erased from the battle sequence forever!
They also feel so ashamed!
After the victory of the battle, the volunteers prepared to improve their food and steam some buns.

But I can’t find the steamer cloth for steaming buns.

If not everyone can afford a set of cotton-padded clothes, where can we find cage cloth?
They went to look at the captured supplies to see if there was anything that could be used as cage cloth.

As a result, the flag of the Polar Bear Group was found.

Say this thing is good!

It’s quite thick, perfect for steaming buns!

Later, this flag was surrendered and kept in a museum as a permanent shame for the Eagle Sauce!

When he said this, the old man couldn't hide the smile on his face.
