In the communication with the adjutant, Smith, the commander of the 1st Army Division, acknowledged the failure of the US military and ordered Lieutenant Colonel Patrick to repair the dam bridge within two days. However, Patrick believed that this was an impossible task. It would take ten days to fill in all the soldiers from the engineer battalion, so he could only temporarily build the bridge deck and fill the gap with steel girders carried by transport planes.
At present, there are still more than 10,000 American soldiers trapped on the Gutuli Plateau. The only way to retreat is the Dam Bridge. Lieutenant Hans followed the American army to retreat. MacArthur's desire to defeat the Chinese and go home before Christmas was shattered, and everyone's fighting spirit was completely shattered, and they questioned why they came to fight this war.
Wu Wanli woke up and saw his second brother lying beside him, leaving him with only a cold corpse, but he still wanted to take Wu Qianli home. The long time is like white snow, with no beginning and no end, Wu Wanli can only carry Wu Qianli's body along the way, and finally passes out in the snow, and is awakened by Chunsheng's war horse.
Then Wu Wanli settled Wu Qianli's body, and decided to personally stop the retreat of the U.S. troops. One person and one horse embarked on the journey, and Wu Wanli named the horse Erhu. When passing through a village, Wu Wanli picked up a lot of weapons and rations to ensure that he had enough physical strength to chase down the American devils.
After Wu Wanli's unremitting efforts, he finally found the retreating troops of the US troops. At this moment, Hans and the others were still talking about their hometown, fantasizing about watching a movie to escape reality and forget the horror and shame of this war when they returned home. As soon as they finished speaking, a burst of gunshots came, and many American soldiers fell down. land.
Wu Wanli rode a horse and raised his gun to shoot at the U.S. troops. His appearance threw the U.S. military into chaos. Soon the U.S. Army hit Wu Wanli and chased him all the way up the mountain. Wu Wanli gradually woke up in the voice of his brother's call, resisting his physical disability and killing more than a dozen Yankees, a dagger was ruthlessly inserted into Braden's heart.
On December 9, 1950, the U.S. military retreated to Xingnan Port, and suddenly found a man riding a horse blocking the road ahead, slowly raising a long gun, so scared that they hurriedly got out of the car and dispersed to aim at the target to meet them. The war horse carried the seriously injured Wu Wanli, and he did not retreat in the face of the siege of nearly a hundred people. On the contrary, the U.S. military found that Wu Wanli was alone, and immediately let down his vigilance, and the leading officer showed a little admiration.
Just as Wu Wanli was about to die generously, reinforcements from the Volunteer Army arrived in time. Before Wu Wanli passed out, he saw a bright red flag flying towards him. In the end, the U.S. military was completely lost and retreated hastily. Some U.S. troops waited for the opportunity to go home.
On the U.S. warship, Ivey saw Braden's body carried away from his eyes, and his heart felt ashamed for a moment, but he couldn't accept the defeat, so he resolutely chose to shoot himself. After receiving the news, Almond, the commander of the Tenth Army of the US Army, realized that the US military could not overcome the will of these Chinese people. They had become a joke in this war.
Almond called Commander-in-Chief MacArthur, saying that he was about to leave for Xingnan Port, and all materials in Xingnan Port would be burned. MacArthur finally let go of his arrogance and really paid attention to China as an opponent. He did not want to fight against the Chinese in the future battlefield, but hoped to become friends and express the highest respect to the other party.
A train carrying volunteer soldiers pulled into the station, and Wu Wanli followed everyone back to his hometown. Surrounded by folks and elders who came to welcome the soldiers, Wu Wanli did not find a familiar face, but saw the elder brother he missed most standing under the afterglow of the setting sun, saluting him with grief.
Many years later, Wu Wanli brought his family to the Cemetery of Martyrs to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea to pay homage. The entire battle of Changjin Lake tempered him, a once carefree boy, into a real soldier. Although they did not completely blow up the dam bridge in the end, they greatly delayed the enemy's retreat. On the eastern front of the second campaign to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, the Ninth Corps wiped out more than 13,900 enemies, preventing the deployment of the U.S. military northward. , forcing these aggressors to embark on a long road of defeat, and reversed the situation in the Korean War in one fell swoop.
