Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Forty years later, the film crew of "Snow Red and Snow White" followed a group of volunteer veterans who participated in this battle and once again set foot on this heroic land.  Shangganling, which used to be barren of vegetation due to artillery fire from both sides, is now covered with lush greenery.  "Squad leader! We are back to see you!" At the foot of the mountain, a veteran couldn't help shouting loudly.  "We are back to see you!" all the veterans shouted together.  The long-lost heroic tears instantly burst into the eyes of these old people.  Many accompanying staff also had tears in their eyes.  Accompanied by North Korean personnel, everyone went up the mountain.  Although decades have passed, the old people still found the location of the old tunnel with ease.  "This was originally our company's tunnel, but it collapsed during the bombing on the third day. I remember that the company commander and others cut off the rear in order to let us evacuate first. Unexpectedly Later, after the battle, we  I came here and tried to dig it up, but it turned out like this." A veteran said, pointing to a huge rock on the mountain.  "This is our company's tunnel. I remember that day a battalion of Li puppet troops came here. In order to force us out, they threw smoke bombs into it. The smoke was poisonous. At that time, the third platoon commander used a wet hand towel to  He circled around the mouth and rushed over with a grenade launcher, killing several of the Li puppet troops. The remaining people did not dare to come up.  You can't see this scene in any movie nowadays. It's called real blood and flesh flying everywhere. After a bombing, not even a single corpse can be found on the battlefield. Some people were simply blown up.  General Qin Jiwei recalled in an interview with the film crew: "It is said that the US military was strong, but in fact the combat effectiveness of the Korean army at that time was much stronger than when our volunteers first entered the DPRK.  There are so many battles, and there is an American master to teach it, no matter how stupid it is, it can figure out something. Take the Battle of Baima Mountain before the Battle of Shangganling, where the Korean army was the main attacker.  The 38th Army suffered a lot!¡± Reporter: ¡°Did the battle of Shangganling go as we expected?¡± General Qin sighed: ¡°But the amount of ammunition invested by the US military there was far more.  It captured our imagination. It was really called "bullets falling like rain"! It was not a light rain, but a heavy rain that lasted for a month. Later, an overseas reporter asked me: "You sacrificed so much in a place as small as Shangganling."  People, and consumed so much ammunition, is it worth it? 'I asked him: 'For such a small place, the coalition forces consumed much more ammunition than we did, and more than 10,000 people were killed by the coalition forces, what do you think?  What are they for? Are they worth it? At least after Shangganling, the Americans did not dare to launch an attack larger than a battalion. '" Reporter: "I heard that our army can accurately determine the direction of the coalition's attack.  Thanks to a few whistleblowing letters from the coalition. Is that so?" General Qin laughed and said jokingly: "Little boy, this is a secret. You can't tell your leaders this.  Broadcast." Then he said seriously: "However, the propaganda we carried out against the enemy on the front line did play a big role." Reporter: "You just said that the Americans did not launch a battalion-sized attack after the battle.  Attack, so we saw that the Volunteer Army and the United Nations Army entered a period of relative peace in 1953, is that true?" General Qin nodded: "You also said it was relative peace, not real peace.  We fought, but there were constant small battles. Whether it was Eisenhower or Syngman Rhee, they still refused to give up after suffering a loss on Shangganling! "Reporter: "So the famous "cold gun battle" began.  A sniper rifle was also made specifically for sniper heroes, is that right? "General Qin said with a smile: "Yes! The comrades in the rear arsenal have contributed a lot to this, but that kind of sniper rifle seems very bad now!  Mature. Let¡¯s talk about sights. Everyone knew the domestic conditions at that time. There were not many decent optical lens manufacturers.  The comrades in the rear tried all kinds of ways to make more than a dozen pairs, but it was simply not enough.  There is no other way but to award the scope to the warrior with the best sniper performance.  "Reporter: "I heard that the Soviet Union also wanted this sniper rifle technology at that time, right?  General Qin nodded, "Yes."  Although Sino-Soviet relations were very good at that time, Shiji was still very alert.  How can we keep our technical secrets as much as possible without hurting our friendship? It takes a lot of thinking.  I remember that it was Deputy Commander Hong who personally received Soviet experts.  He told the experts: ¡®When it comes to sniper warfare, you, the Soviet Union, are better at it.  I remember that during the Great Patriotic War, you had a lot of snipers.Among the fighting heroes, the most famous one is Comrade Vasily Zatseev.  By the way, I heard that there seem to be a lot of female snipers, right?  Your factory level is much better than ours even in the most difficult times!  ¡¯ In short, it¡¯s a series of shoots, first to capture the vanity of the Soviet people, and then to take out a few unqualified samples.  Let the Soviets stop this idea first.  "Reporter: "Were the Soviets fooled?  General Qin smiled bitterly and said: "Although I was indeed fooled in the end, don't think it's easy for me to say, but if you really do it Hehe, the Soviets are not fools, how can it be so easy!"  "Reporter: "I heard that many comrades still have opinions about this.  General Qin nodded again, "It is inevitable to have opinions."  At that time, our two countries were in a period of friendship, and many comrades said that hiding things in this way was not the way to treat a 'big brother'.  To this end, Shiji also specifically asked the central government for instructions.  The Chairman and the Prime Minister made it clear: ¡®Even if your stuff is not as good as others, you can¡¯t show it to others easily!  ¡¯¡± Reporter: ¡°It seems that the central leadership at that time understood the stakes of foreign cooperation.  General Qin said: "That's right!"  Europe and the United States, whether the United States, the Soviet Union or others, already had very mature sniper warfare experience and corresponding industrial manufacturing techniques at that time.  And what about us?  Although many sharpshooters emerged during past wars, both software and hardware conditions were still far behind those abroad.  Our technology may not be as good as others, but it still has a certain reference value, which is the icing on the cake for them.  For us, once we lose this technology, it is much more difficult to get it back.  The facts proved that our measures were correct. Soon, the Soviets came up with their sniper rifles, scopes and manufacturing technology.  Later, we introduced optical instrument production technology from East Germany, which provided a good material foundation for our subsequent sniper training and training.  ¡± Reporter: ¡°Everyone knows that during this period, Stalin of the Soviet Union passed away.  What impact will his death have on our volunteers?  General Qin smiled and said, "There is still some impact, but it's not big."  At that time, our top military officials were the first to receive the news of Stalin's death. To be honest, they were really shocked.  Maybe it¡¯s because after so many years, I¡¯ve seen life and death so much that I didn¡¯t take it seriously.  Besides, how much does his death as a foreigner have anything to do with us?  We must continue to fight.  This incident was also reported on the radio from the allied forces on the opposite side, saying that Stalin was dead, the Soviet aid would be gone, and our good days would be over.  As a result, we blasted them back with a cannon.  "Reporter: "The day Stalin died was also the time when our volunteers were preparing for spring anti-landing operations.  Do the Americans want to take this opportunity to disrupt the morale of the military?  General Qin said: "It is certain to disturb the morale of the army."  At that time, Eisenhower happened to be elected as the new president. In order to realize his campaign slogan, he came to North Korea.  He said that in order to end the war as soon as possible, a decisive battle would be fought.  Then the top brass of their US military decided to conduct large-scale landing operations on the east and west sides of North Korea to cooperate with the frontal battlefield to stop us.  Following them, they began to organize frequent landing exercises in their rear, and we later learned about this.  At that time, Chairman Mao expressed his determination to smash the enemy's landing adventure.  "Reporter: "How many troops do we have?  "General Qin said: "At that time, our rear areas had basically stabilized.  The railways and so on were basically open, and the number of volunteers in the DPRK at that time had increased to twenty armies.  The navy also dispatched a torpedo boat brigade, as well as the air force and tank troops.  You can check the specific information, I won¡¯t go into details.  In short, despite our careful preparations, the Americans were still frightened by us and gave up their plan.  "Reporter: "Some people now say that it was precisely because the death of Stalin reduced the assistance to the Volunteer Army that the Volunteer Army had to stop fighting against the United Nations forces.  " General Qin criticized the case and said angrily: "This is definitely a rumor and slander!  I don¡¯t think it¡¯s just me who disagrees. Ask those old volunteers who are still alive, who agrees with this statement?  !  People who say this are simply modern-day traitors and foreign slaves!  Stalin died in March, and we also launched a summer counterattack in May, the most famous of which was the "Battle of Jincheng" in mid-July. The story of the surprise attack on the White Tiger Regiment took place in this battle.  What's more, Stalin was not very generous to us when he was alive. To be fair, he was not as generous as Khrushchev later.  If we really follow what those traitors said, when the Korean War began, we should have set the battle line near the south bank of the Yalu River.  It's close to the 'Mig Corridor', and it's convenient for supplies and so on. There's no need to go near the 38th parallel and make the soldiers suffer!  "
