The Truth About Sending Troops to North Korea

(The truth about sending troops to North Korea | From crossing the Yalu River to defending Shangganling | The Battle of Changjin Lake) On July 27, 1953, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, which lasted for nearly three years, finally ended with the signing of an armistice agreement. Whenever we look back on this war, two sentences are often quoted by people. One is said by Peng Dehuai, commander of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army: "For hundreds of years, Western invaders could occupy a country by just setting up a few cannons on a coastline in the east. Gone are the days forever." The other is from the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff. In the words of Omar Bradley: "The wrong war was fought at the wrong time, in the wrong place, with the wrong opponent." Many years later, MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the "United Nations Army" in the Korean battlefield, still said when talking about the unforgettable experience and lessons of the Korean War: "Whoever wants to fight the Chinese Army must be sick."
