I told you a story about a war horse of North Korea

I had dinner with a Korean War vet and he recounted a story that three Chinese soldiers had crawled yards from a machine gun pill box and dug a hideout under it. They hid in there all day waiting to attack at night. He said that was the bravest thing he ever saw in the war. Even if they succeeded it was suicide. Decades later he and his wife visited China often and he made friends with many Chinese veterans of that war.

The First Indochina War also had a hero who did the same heroic deed. He was Phan Dinh Giot, a Vietnamese soldier who fought in the battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. He used his body to cover up a machinegun nest to make way for his comrade. He died at the age of 32, posthumously awarded the "Hero of the People's Armed Force".

The propaganda of this war by European and American media reflects the arrogance of Europeans and Americans towards Asians. They only know Mao, and any strategic decision made by China is Mao. In fact, Mao is just a politician. In the Korean War, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army was Peng Dehuai, and Peng Dehuai's most glorious achievements were conquering Xinjiang, Qinghai, Mongolia...... It is obvious that in the eyes of Americans, only one person is enough to represent an Asian country

British historian Max Hastings made a documentary about the Korean War in 1988, 'The War in Korea.' Many veterans recounted their combat experiences and what struck me was the story of a British unit, tanks and infantry that was literally being chased by the whole Chinese Army (or so it must have felt to the British). The commander told how they were on a road, the tanks in the rear rolling at a soldier's walking speed so the infantry could keep up. Every time, a group of Chinese soldiers would appear on the road running at them, and every time, the rear tank fired a tank round into that group, killing all. As they reached a plateau, the British found they were surrounded on all sides. Hesitating what to do next, the British noticed the Chinese were firing around them, not at them. That gave the British commander the sense to order his men to destroy their weapons and surrender and the men followed suit. This story has remained in my memory for all those years since I saw the documentary. When we see Chinese Communist troops charging UN positions, we only see a faceless mob of probably murderous villains who mean to wipe out all. But as this case shows, the pursuing Chinese, even though having suffered probably more losses than the retreating British, still suggested the British surrender so no further lives would be wasted. That's my own conclusion.

His action and sacrifice was indeed an unknown to the outside of China. Not only Huang Jiguang, but also Qiu Shaoyun who was burned to death without giving away his comrades' position in the same war. Also, another Chinese soldier, Dong Cunrui who blew himself to destroy the enemy's bunker during the Chinese Civil War. Indeed any soldiers from any sides who sacrificed themselves deserve some respect. Two mistakes: Chinese soldiers were members of People's Volunteer Army (PVA), not People's Liberation Army and they never flew Chinese national flag, but only plain red flag and sometimes they flew North Korean flags.

The definition of sacrifice wow

@@realhuman4396 no. when i say korean people, i mean the whole korean people. both north and south. do you think north korean love the situation right now where their country still divided north and south? i think no korean would like to see their country divided. if north korean want to know who should be blamed for this, they would blamed china for intervened to save north korea from reunification with south. because korean people in north and south korea before korean war just wanted reunification, no matter under the country reunfied communist dictator kim ill sung or under capitalist ROK.

First Indochina War got the same tale like this one and they keep drilling us that in school _ _' One Viet Minh soldier used himself to cover French MG bunker hole during Dien Bien Phủ

and American still cope with: "They fight by spamming masses of cowards" when they talk about Korean War, or any war other they ever touch in East Asia.

Are Mosin Nagant and SKS rifles and too difficult to render or something?

My wife's grandpa fought in the Korean War for the Chinese in a mortar squad and I believe he was only 16 years old. Long story short he received minor injury in the leg by a shrapnel and was sent home, however the rest of his company all died that day.

What was that carbine right there at 5:39? It fires two shots before cycling the bolt. Is it an animation error or jamming captured m1 carbines?

As a WW2 buff, so many insane stories coming from the Korean war.

you are a Chinese SB

We also have the same story like this in vietnam war. While they seems very possible, i just dont understand why they use a heavy machine gun just 7mm for a bunker, not the mighty .50caliber gun

We need more content like this. Great episode!

+10 social credit for your channel

Idk man, it just doesn't seem physically possible that a human body would do much to stop .50 cal bullets

This happened earlier in Vietnam during the final days of the resistance war against the French. A brave young soldier used his body to block a French soldier's bunker to help soldiers attack the enemy.

"Follow the example of Lei Fong" intensifies!

I can see some Chinese soldiers shooting PPSh41s but why are most shooting US M1 carbines?

I don’t know why people forget, but the reason why is because of America supplied the KMT with their guns and ammunition since made in china wasn’t a thing for the 1900s(because chiang kai shek shiny head can’t think of one good technology other than infrastructure) and because soviets always pick up foreign supplies after killing the enemy, so that’s why they have M1 carbine, but maybe the creator of this video forget to like maybe make another bolt action gun, or the editor got lazy and did M1 carbine

Will you talk about these men are the forgotten hero’s of history like many others in the forgotten war

Alexander Matrosov (1924-1943) is the name of the soldier that did this

I wouldn't call that unstoppable he became pretty dead.
