Travel Back in Time to the 1950 Battle of Lake Nagatsu

After the first battle to resist U. S. Aggression and aid Korea, the "United Nations Army" made some adjustments and divided its forces into two groups to continue its march northward, approaching Jiangjie, the temporary seat of the Korean government. In order to curb its offensive, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese People's Volunteer Army urgently deployed the 9th Corps to North Korea to assume the Eastern Front combat mission. After the 9th Corps entered the DPRK in early November 1950, it was determined to adopt the tactics of "circuit cutting off, encirclement and annihilation". In order to achieve the surprise of the battle, more than 100,000 volunteers crossed the mountains and ridges to meet the enemy covertly. The thinly-clad volunteers marched day and night, heavily camouflaged, and endured severe cold, hunger, and fatigue as they marched continuously in the mountains and woods covered with thick snow. They overcame numerous difficulties and dangers with astonishing perseverance and arrived at the preset battlefield silently. Through a wide range of roundabouts and outflanks, they successfully cut the 1st Marine Division and the 7th Infantry Division into five sections, forming a favorable situation for division, encirclement, and annihilation. 1 This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
