When cleaning the battlefield after the war, someone found a card left by the martyr Song Amao with the words:"I love my relatives and my country, and I love my honor even moreI am a glorious volunteer soldierIce and snow, I will not yield to you"Even if it's freezing to deathI will also stand proudly on my position."

What kind of spirit and belief supports these young volunteer soldiers, who would rather freeze to death than expose their targets, perhaps the answer can be found from the old man Zhou Quandi.
Brother Zhou Quan's old man.
In the Battle of Changjin Lake, Zhou Quandi, who was only a teenager, lost his hands and legs, and when they entered Korea, due to the urgency of the war, they had no time to change their clothes, and they only wore a thin cotton coat and rubber shoes, and stayed up for three days and three nights.
In the early morning of the fourth day, Brother Zhou Quandi and his comrades finally heard the horn of the charge, but the accident also befell him at this time"I can't get upIt's frozen, and it can't be rushedI saw my comrades rushing forwardMy tears flowed down my face."Not being able to rush to the enemy with his comrades has also become a regret of Zhou Quandi's life.

Because of severe frostbite in his limbs, he could no longer participate in the battle, and Zhou Quandi was sent back to the hospital in Northeast China, where medical conditions were limited at that time, and Zhou Quandi's amputation operation did not even take anesthetic, and the 16-year-old Zhou Quandi lost all his limbs"I can't hold a gun."This sentence is heartbreaking.
"-40, freeze off your fingersNo matter how painful it is, don't cry ......
Yu Zhilin, a 96-year-old veteran military doctor, also personally experienced the Battle of Changjin Lake to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he recalled:
As soon as we entered North Korea, the planes bombed the roads we walked every day, and the bodies of the comrades who had died on the planes could not be found. ”

Yu Zhilin choked: "It was minus 40 at the time."Holding the iron in his hand, ** glued onIf you take it down again, you will have to lose a piece of skinWe put the white side of the quilt in reverse, so that we can hide in the snowy mountains, starving and unable to move."
Yu Zhilin when he was young.
At that time, 24-year-old Yu Zhilin, as the director of the division hospital, and his comrades-in-arms treated the wounded day and night, "On the day the battle ended, the hospital received 2,800 wounded in one dayFingers, toesThere are too many limbs that have been frozen, amputationsMost of these fighters are in their 20sThe little ones are only years oldBut no one cried, no matter how painful it was, he didn't cry. ”
According to historical records, the Changjin Lake area that year coincided with the extreme cold that had not been encountered in 50 years.
And Yu Zhilin is on the battlefieldAlsobeInjured his right legLeft with a lifelong disability
"The potatoes were frozen like stonesThe squad leader put it on his chest and gave it to the fighters to eat."
Too intense, too cold, too hungry.
"The hardships are greater than the Long March. ”From October to December 1950, Yan Fubin served as a cultural instructor of the 20th Army of the Volunteer Army, and was responsible for transporting the wounded and logistics support in the Battle of Changjin Lake.

Because of the lack of supplies, potatoes became a precious food on the battlefield, but the extreme low temperature made the potatoes freeze very stiff, like a hard stone, "In order to let the soldiers eat warm food, a squad leader named Wang Fali."Place the potatoes one by onePut it on your chest and let it warm. ”Such a comradeship was engraved in Yan Fubin's mind for a lifetime.

"We've done all the battles we need to fightThe juniors don't have to fight ......”
There is a highway bridge in the Changjin Lake area, which is the lifeline of the transportation of personnel and materials of the volunteers, and it is also the key bombing target of the US army, and the task of Wu Maohe, who was the deputy platoon commander of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion of the 20th Army of the Volunteer Army, was to defend the highway bridge to the death.
Wu Maohe when he was young.
Wu Maohe, who is 101 years old this year, was most impressed by a battle on December 4, 1950, when the surveillance post reported that five enemy planes were approaching the highway bridge'Platoon commander, I can't see it, find someone for me'Then, all at once, he fell on my shoulder. Wu Maohe recalled: "I didn't care about my sadness, I took the telemeter in his hand and guided the gunner to track and shoot until the enemy plane fled." ”

After the victory in the battle, Wu Maohe buried his three fallen comrades on a nearby hillside: "There are very few graves with names, most of them are unknown martyrs, and they are all buried in North Korea." Speaking of these, Wu Maohe wet his eyes:"Unsung hero, four words weigh a thousand pounds!”
Volunteer soldier Wu Maohe.
It is they who have persevered again and again in exchange for everything today, just like a line in the movie "Changjin Lake"."We've done all the battles we need to fightOur juniors don't have to fight."

Netizens were moved to tears:"History is often more brutal than the plot of a movie"."Without you, you held on with your livesThere is no such thing as ours now"."Rest assured, this prosperous world is as you wish!”
