In 2021, 90 points high rating TV series "Meritorious", have you watched it? The first unit of the play is based on the story of the volunteers, showing the prosperity of the American army and the hardships of the volunteers.
The U.S. Army has abundant air support and ground tanks, while the Volunteer Army lacks supplies and even basic artillery equipment. This drama vividly depicts the gap between the rich and the poor, making people feel the cruelty of war. "
Despite the overall backwardness of the equipment, the volunteers still fought bravely on the battlefield and beat the American army to the ground. Eventually, the war prompted the U.S. military to sign the armistice agreement, giving the world a glimpse of a new China.
China, once known as the sick man of East Asia, defeated the US military, armed to the teeth, with incomparable strength, which is amazing. Then, the question arises: why can't the well-equipped US army defeat the poorly equipped volunteer army?
Ideology plays a crucial role in winning wars by relying solely on equipment and technology. It can shape a person's worldview and unite people who share the same beliefs, even at the cost of their lives.
However, it seems that many people in modern society have forgotten the importance of ideology.
Driven by the same beliefs, people can inspire incomparable combat effectiveness. That is why, in the Battle of Changjin Lake, the Volunteer Army was able to contend with American soldiers wearing military coats and enjoying food in the severe cold of dozens of degrees below zero.
Even though there was a huge disparity in strength between us and the enemy, the volunteers still dared to engage in many fierce battles with the American army, because they did not rely on crowd tactics to achieve victory, as Chen Kaige's recent film "Changjin Lake" portrayed.
It's impossible.
Even if the U.S. military has a strong military force, it is obviously impossible to achieve the situation of the German army harvesting the heads of the British and French troops in the Battle of the Somme in World War I.
Because most of the volunteer charges at that time were carried out in accordance with the three-three system, a squad would be divided into three combat groups to charge, which was an idea that was difficult for the US military to understand.
In the predicament of extremely cold conditions and material shortages, the volunteers made it impossible for the US army to defeat with their firm belief and strong combat effectiveness. Their heroic deeds have demonstrated the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation.
However, the irony is that some people today, in the face of a small ** war, easily choose to give in. As the wheels of history roll forward, we should bear in mind the heroic spirit of the martyrs, carry forward the national spirit, and always maintain an indomitable fighting spirit in the face of difficulties and challenges.
