In 1952, after experiencing many battles, the Volunteer Army had taken the initiative in ground operations on the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. In order to gain momentum for the campaign and seize the benefits on the negotiating table, the United Nations Army decided to make a last ditch effort in the Battle of Shangganling. On October 14,“United Nations Forces” launched a fierce attack on the Battle of Shangganling.

The volunteer soldiers tenaciously resisted the attack of the United Nations troops and repeatedly fought for positions; they moved into the tunnels and continued to fight in an extremely difficult environment after the war; they resolutely counterattacked and continuously consolidated their positions in the decisive stage. After 43 days of fighting, the volunteer soldiers finally won the victory..This battle demonstrated China's national and military power. In the following decades, no Western country dared to easily provoke China.
