The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was China's first foreign war after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although our army is facing a difficult combat environment and backward equipment, the brave soldiers fought bravely and sacrificed their lives for the country. According to the latest data from China's Memorial Hall to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and the civil affairs department, the number of Chinese troops killed in the war has exceeded 190,000, more than five times the number of US troops killed. This figure aroused questions from foreign media reporters, and one of them deliberately asked provocatively: "Why does China still claim to be the victor of this war when the number of dead is five times that of the United States?"To this question, the highly respected General Kim Il-nam gave a wonderful answer. General Jin Yinan has been engaged in international strategy and research for a long time, and has an in-depth understanding of international relations and China's relations with neighboring countries.
He has been working to combine facts and data to enhance awareness of the crises that exist in international relations. As of August 2014, General Jin Yinan has won awards such as the Military Science and Technology Progress Award and the Outstanding Scientific Research Achievement Award from the National Defense University. His writings have been deeply studied by Western politicians, trying to find ideas that can break through. A British journalist deliberately chose to raise questions on the occasion attended by General Jin Yinan, hoping to embarrass him and become a "hero" in Western political circles. However, the reporter underestimated the wisdom and composure of the Chinese people. General Jin Yinan was calm and unmoved, and gave a wonderful answer. General Jin Yinan said that the data released by China is absolutely true and objective.
For many years, China** has been paying allowances to the families of fallen soldiers and updating ** data in veteran surveys, so the number of people who have died in our country has been increasing. The data includes front-line fighters, logistical militias, and even sappers and medical aid workers building defenses. In the Battle of Changjin Lake, due to harsh conditions and shortages of supplies, some fighters were counted, even if they did not die in the course of the battle. In contrast, how does the United States count the number of war dead?The number of casualties recorded on the Memorial Wall in Washington is 33,700, which, although later updated, is still more than five times the number of people killed in our country. It is important to note that the U.S. military is not alone.
During the Korean War, the armies of countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Turkey formed a joint team with the U.S. military. However, the U.S. military only counts data from its own country and only focuses on front-line combat soldiers, ignoring other logisticians and medical responders. In this regard, General Jin Yinan gave specific examples. In 1950, Wang Zhi, the political commissar of the 89th Division of the Volunteer Army, led an elite army to raid the logistics unit of the US army late at night. Wang Zhi led the soldiers to surround the position of the US logistics unit, and made the US front-line soldiers mistakenly think that our army had launched a charge by triggering ** from a distance. When almost all the front-line soldiers of the US army were dispatched, only logistics personnel were left in the positions.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wang Zhi led the soldiers to launch an attack on the position, and when the American soldiers reacted, the position had been occupied by our army. During this raid, our army not only received rich supplies, but in the course of the operation, there were many fierce clashes between the logistics soldiers of our army and the American army. Although the logistics soldiers lack front-line combat experience and cannot compete with our army head-on, the logistics units of the US army have also suffered, but the ** of these personnel has not been counted by the United States. If you add up the number of people in the joint army and the number of logistics troops, it will obviously exceed the number of people in our army. This shows that the US military's statistical methods are not comprehensive and objective. However, this does not seem to be understood by a British journalist, who might not have asked such a stupid question.
Regarding the criterion for judging the victory or defeat of the war, General Kim Il-nam added a key point, arguing that the number of war losses and deaths cannot be the only criterion for winning or losing a war. The real measure of victory or defeat is whether the purpose of participating in the war has been achieved. Just like in a siege battle, although the soldiers of the besieging side did not have **, but failed to capture the target city, this cannot be called a victory;On the contrary, although the soldiers defending the city were heavy, they successfully held the city, which was considered a victory.
General Jin Yinan also said excitedly: "I hope that everyone present can understand that the final victory of our country was won by the bullets of the volunteer soldiers, so no one is allowed to belittle our victory in any way!"After listening to General Jin Yinan's answer, the smug expression on the British reporter's face suddenly disappeared, and all the people present were full of admiration for General Jin Yinan. For our country, participation in this war is to push back the joint ** to the south of the 38th parallel, to defend the security of the northeast, to preserve the territorial integrity of the motherland, to ensure that it is not violated by others. In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the unremitting efforts of the volunteers not only achieved the goal of participating in the war, but also enhanced China's status on the international stage, and they can be called well-deserved victors.
Today, it is ridiculous that the United States is still deliberately covering up the real ** data in an attempt to cover up the truth. This great victory not only highlighted China's status as a great power, but also demonstrated the tenacious will and fearless spirit of the volunteer soldiers. It is worth mentioning that, according to the journal of Xinyang Normal University and the article of the Chinese People's Republic of China, the medical work of the volunteers is also an important part of the history of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and their medical rescue work played a key role in the victory of the war. What is worth remembering is that the victorious return of the Chinese People's Volunteers has become an important commemorative activity for the 70 th anniversary of the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and has also been fully recorded and recalled in Chinese archives.
