《Ice and Snow Blade Company》Story background

《Snow and Ice Knife Company》The background of the story is the Battle of Changjin Lake on the eastern battlefield of the Korean War.

The Battle of Changjin Lake was a counterattack carried out in the Changjin Lake area on the Eastern Front battlefield of the Second Battle to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

In the Battle of Changjin Lake, three armies of the 9th Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteers, under conditions of temperatures over minus 20 degrees Celsius, severe frostbite, and insufficient troop strength, fought against the 10th Army of the U.S. Army, which had world-class weapons and equipment and distinguished military exploits, in 1950.A direct battle was held in the Changjin Lake area of ​​North Korea from November 27 to December 24, setting a record of annihilating an entire U.S. regiment during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and forcing the U.S. ace unit to undergo the longest retreat in history.In this battle, the vast area in the east north of the 38th Parallel was recovered.The Volunteer Army's simultaneous victories on the east and west fronts reversed the battlefield situation in one fell swoop, becoming a turning point in the Korean War and laying the foundation for victory in the eventual armistice negotiations.

After the first battle of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the United Nations Army made some adjustments and divided its forces into two groups to continue its march northward, approaching Jiangjie, the temporary seat of the North Korean government.In order to curb its offensive, the Central Committee and the Chinese People's Volunteer Army urgently deployed the 9th Corps to North Korea to assume the Eastern Front combat mission.

After the 9th Corps entered the DPRK in early November 1950, it was determined to adopt a strategy of roundabout cutting off, encirclement and annihilation.In order to achieve the surprise of the battle, more than 100,000 volunteers crossed the mountains and ridges to meet the enemy covertly.The thinly dressed volunteers marched day and night, heavily camouflaged, enduring the severe cold, hunger and fatigue as they marched continuously in the mountains and woods covered with thick snow. With amazing perseverance, they overcame numerous difficulties and dangers and quietly arrived at the precipice.We set up a battlefield, and through large-scale insertion and outflanking, we successfully cut the 1st Marine Division and the 7th Infantry Division into five sections, forming a favorable situation for division, encirclement and annihilation.

From November 27 to December 24, 1950, the two ace armies of China and the United States launched a fierce battle in the Changjin Lake area of ​​North Korea.The U.S. military includes the 1st Marine Division (referred to as the 1st Marine Division) and the 3rd and 7th Infantry Divisions, as well as the South Korean 1st Corps, with about 100,000 people; the one attacking this force is the 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army, consisting of the 20th Army,Composed of the 26th Army and the 27th Army, nearly 150,000 people.After fighting hard for 20 days in the severe cold of minus 30-40 degrees Celsius, the remnants of the US military, under the cover of seven aircraft carriers, used sea routes to escape from the battlefield. This also meant that all % of the United Nations troops were expelled from northeastern North Korea.

Due to the emergency entry into North Korea from the southeast coast and the failure to be equipped with winter clothing, the 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army suffered 19,202 casualties, 28,954 frostbite, and more than 4,000 people froze to death in this battle.According to Chi Haotian (who was awarded the rank of general in 1988) who was a battalion instructor in the 27th Army at the time, he was the only one in the battalion who did not suffer from frostbite.The 1st Marine Division of the US Army also suffered frostbite, with more than 7,000 people suffering frostbite and hundreds freezing to death.

In this battle, the Chinese People's Volunteers relied on their iron will and heroic and fearless fighting spirit to conquer the extremely harsh environment, repel the most elite ace troops of the US military, and regained the vast eastern area north of the 38th Parallel., completely shattered Douglas MacArthur's dream of occupying the entire Korea before Christmas, and reversed the battlefield situation.This battle also became the turning point of the Korean War.

A total of 36,000 enemies were wiped out in this battle, including 24,000 US troops, including the annihilation of an entire US regiment. Lieutenant General Walker, commander of the US 8th Army, also overturned and died in the chaos.U.S. Secretary of State Acheson called it the longest defeat in U.S. history.
