@hominmundus In the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the former Kuomintang troops that participated mainly included the following:
1. The 50th Volunteer Army: It was the uprising of the 60th Army of the Kuomintang Yunnan Army on the Northeast battlefield in 1948. After the number was changed to the 50th Army of the People's Liberation Army, except for some political workers and new recruits who joined the army later, the framework of the old Yunnan Army was basically retained. The 50th Army made great achievements in Korea, annihilated nearly 15,000 enemies, and performed well on the Korean battlefield. When entering Korea, the 50th Army had a total of more than 33,000 officers and soldiers.
2. The 36th Army and the 37th Army: These two armies are under the jurisdiction of the 23rd Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and the 23rd Corps is the only two Kuomintang uprising corps-level troops that have been retained in an organized manner after the Liberation War (the other is Chen Mingren's 21st Corps, the former 1st Corps of the National Army in the Changsha Uprising). The 36th Army and the 37th Army were both troops of the former Suiyuan warlord Fu Zuoyi. They participated in the Suiyuan Uprising in 1949 with Fu Zuoyi's trusted generals Dong Qiwu and Sun Lanfeng. Later, after the army was supplemented, it retained the corps structure as a whole and got the opportunity to go to Korea to participate in the war. It mainly built airports and did logistics work in the rear of Korea, playing a strategic guarantee role.
Therefore, there were about 80,000 former Kuomintang troops participating in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. The former Kuomintang soldiers who participated in the Korean War accounted for only one-eighth of the total number of Chinese volunteers. Whether they were Kuomintang or Communist Party, they were all Chinese and Chinese heroes.

The Battle of Changjin Lake in the Korean War. This was a battle in the early days of the Korean War. From November 27 to December 24, 1950 (just 28 days), a direct confrontation took place in the Changjin Lake area of North Korea. The US military included the 1st Marine Division (abbreviated as the 1st Marine Division) and the 3rd and 7th Infantry Divisions, as well as the 1st Army of South Korea, with a total of about 100,000 troops; the 9th Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, which launched the attack, consisted of the 20th Army, the 26th Army and the 27th Army, with nearly 150,000 troops. In the 28-day "Changjin Lake" battle, the US military suffered 19,843 casualties, and the Chinese Volunteer Army suffered a total of 48,156 casualties. In just 28 days, the total casualties of both sides were close to 70,000. This is the intensity of the war. Do you understand what I mean by real war now? The Chinese Volunteer Army had no communication equipment, and communication relied on whistles and charge horns. Holding old weapons, wearing tattered clothes, eating potatoes frozen harder than stones at minus 40 degrees Celsius, and fighting barefoot in the snow against the US military armed to the teeth. We drove the U.S. troops out of the strategic position of "Changjin Lake" and completely wiped out the "Polar Bear Army" that the U.S. troops were proud of. Our "bitter victory" was exactly what the United States feared. What does it mean to do it at all costs? What does it mean to move forward courageously? Do you understand?

@TheFivegoodemperors The Zhenbao Island incident took place in March 1969. The specific process is as follows:
1. The first battle (March 2): At about 8 a.m., the patrol detachment of the Chinese border defense force was besieged by more than 70 Soviet troops while performing patrol tasks on the island. The Soviet army, ignoring the warnings of the Chinese border defense force, suddenly opened fire, killing and wounding 6 Chinese patrol members, and the Chinese border defense force was forced to fight back in self-defense. One hour later, the Soviet army was repelled.
2. The second battle (March 15): The Soviet army was unwilling to fail, and successively dispatched more than 50 tanks, armored vehicles and more than 100 infantrymen to launch a fierce attack on the Chinese border defense force under the cover of firepower, and bombarded the deep areas in China. The Chinese border defense force fought back and, with the cooperation of the artillery on the shore, repelled the Soviet army's attack three times in a row.
3. The third battle (March 17): In the early morning, the Soviet army dispatched 5 tanks and more than 70 infantrymen to invade Zhenbao Island again under the cover of artillery fire. They buried a large number of anti-infantry mines on the island and attempted to tow back the T-62 tanks whose tracks were blown off on the river fork between Zhenbao Island and the Chinese bank. The Chinese border guards fought back, and the Soviet army finally stopped shelling and withdrew back to the territory.
After these battles, the Chinese border guards repelled the Soviet attack and won the self-defense counterattack on Zhenbao Island. Since then, China has firmly controlled the entire Zhenbao Island.

@TheFivegoodemperors The dispute between China and the Soviet Union in 1969 was over Zhenbao Island. After 1969, China controlled Zhenbao Island.
On May 16, 1991, China and the Soviet Union signed the "Agreement on the Eastern Section of the Sino-Soviet Border" in Moscow. This agreement determined the direction of the Sino-Soviet eastern section of the border of about 4,200 kilometers, except for the two areas of Heixiazi Island and Abagaitu Island. The two sides agreed in Article 3 of the agreement to continue negotiations to resolve the border direction of the two remaining plots.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, starting from 1992, based on the results of the Sino-Soviet western section border negotiations, China conducted western section border negotiations with Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. In 1994, China and Russia signed the Sino-Russian Western Section Border Agreement, which determined the direction of the 54-kilometer Sino-Russian western section border. On October 14, 2004, China and Russia signed the "Supplementary Agreement on the Eastern Section of the Sino-Russian Border", which determined the border alignment of Heixiazi Island and Abagaitu Island left over from the 1991 Sino-Soviet Border Agreement, with half of Heixiazi Island and three-fifths of Abagaitu Island being assigned to China. Thus, the Sino-Russian border was fully demarcated.

@TheFivegoodemperors In 1979, on the first day of the Sino-Vietnamese War, 220,000 PLA soldiers completely suppressed 130,000 Vietnamese troops. In 28 days, the Chinese suffered nearly 30,000 casualties, while the Vietnamese suffered 57,000 casualties. China entered the vicinity of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. In China, the "Self-Defense Counterattack War against Vietnam" is defined as a small-scale battle. Throughout the 1980s, China and Vietnam started a 10-year border war (21,754 Chinese casualties and 103,725 Vietnamese casualties). It ended with Vietnam compensating China for a large area of territory.

@TheFivegoodemperors Western perspective: According to the information disclosed by the Helsinki Military Academy, the Battle of Shangganling ended on November 25, 1952. In this earth-shaking bloody battle, on the high ground that could only accommodate two companies (up to 300 people), the Chinese army successively deployed 9 regiments of two elite field armies, plus 2,000 new recruits, 11 artillery battalions, and a rocket artillery battalion. A total of more than 43,000 people, the Chinese Volunteer Army consumed a total of 450,000 bombs.

@TheFivegoodemperors During the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Communist Party and the Japanese Army fought a total of eight major battles. Guerrilla warfare was also launched in cities lost by the Kuomintang. According to incomplete statistics, during the eight-year all-out war from 1937 to 1945, the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and the South China Anti-Japanese Guerrillas led by the Communist Party of China suffered a total loss of 584,267 personnel, including 290,467 wounded, 160,603 sacrificed, 45,989 captured, and 87,208 missing.

@TheFivegoodemperors China, since 1840, the Chinese people have been living in dire straits. Various disasters and wars followed one after another. At that time, China was very poor and backward, and suffered all kinds of humiliation. Including the cession of Hong Kong and Macau, Taiwan becoming a Japanese colony, the burning of the Old Summer Palace by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the subsequent comprehensive and brutal invasion of China by Japan. In 1931, Japan launched a full-scale invasion war against China. From 1931 to 1945, the war lasted for 14 years. The Chinese military and civilians rose up to resist, fought bloody battles for 14 years, and suffered 30 million casualties in the end. Do you know why China's casualties were so great? There are hundreds of reasons, I will only give an example of one phenomenon: when Chinese troops (especially the Communist army) encountered the Japanese army, it was often the case that if the number of Chinese soldiers participating in the war was 100, the Chinese soldiers had only 20 to 30 guns. The remaining soldiers would not give up resistance or surrender. They used machetes, steel forks, and wooden sticks to bravely fight against the machine guns and cannons in the hands of the Japanese army until they died. This spirit of facing death with indifference and never retreating is the Chinese spirit. 30 million casualties!

@TheFivegoodemperors From 1945 to 1949, the Chinese Civil War, the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan. Originally, the Chinese people thought they could live a long-awaited peaceful life, but in 1950, the Korean War broke out and lasted for three years. The Chinese People's Volunteer Army successfully resisted the US route to the north without air superiority, sea superiority, backward army equipment, and extremely poor logistics, but our price was the loss of hundreds of thousands of brave PLA soldiers. In China, soldiers are called "the most lovely people". There is a Chinese proverb: Without a country, there is no home. Soldiers are the backbone of the country. Thank you to our brave People's Liberation Army soldiers, who are always ready to defend the borders of the motherland. Whether in the past, present or future. The Chinese people pay attention to the spirit of dedication and sacrifice. Do not surrender, do not yield, fight to the death, and see death as home on the battlefield. It is a huge shame for Chinese soldiers to surrender on the battlefield, and the spirit of dying rather than surrendering is deeply engraved in the bones of every Chinese.

Do you know why there is "Nanjing"? Because of the desperate resistance of the Chinese military and civilians, never surrendering and never giving up. After Japan broke through Nanjing, it was first to vent its anger, and secondly to scare off other Chinese soldiers and civilians who were resisting. But all this not only did not scare off any Chinese, but further aroused the Chinese people's resistance. The founding of New China has gone through the test of blood and fire. Do you know why the Chinese national flag is red? That's because the founding of New China was paid for by countless Chinese ancestors with blood, and we Chinese will always remember it. From 1945 to 1949, there was a civil war in China, and the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan. Originally, the Chinese people thought they could live a long-awaited peaceful life, but in 1950, the Korean War broke out and lasted for three years. The Chinese Volunteer Army successfully resisted the US route to the north without air superiority, sea superiority, backward army equipment, and extremely poor logistics, and our price was the loss of hundreds of thousands of brave PLA soldiers.

The Filipinos say that in the Korean War, the Philippines defeated the Chinese Volunteer Army with a ratio of 1,000 to 40,000 (not 1,000 to 10,000 as you said). This is absurd and illogical (I will analyze why the Filipinos made such a lie later). In the three-year Korean War, the Philippines sent a total of 8,000 people into Korea and only fought a small-scale battle. In the entire Korean War, 112 Filipinos died and 356 were captured. If the Filipinos had such a strong fighting power, they would have been used as cannon fodder by the United States long ago, instead of just participating in one battle. (The United States cherishes the lives of its own soldiers very much). Refer to the number of US troops entering the Korean War and the number of casualties.

@TheFivegoodemperors The fall of Bataan Peninsula:
- After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the 14th Army of the Army, led by Masaharu Homma, attacked the Philippines. At that time, MacArthur had only 15,000 untrained American soldiers and 80,000 local Filipino troops. On December 22, 1941, Japan landed in the northwest of the Philippines with aircraft support. The US-Philippines coalition forces were quickly defeated, and MacArthur led the remaining US troops to escape to the Bataan Peninsula.
- After that, the US military was in a difficult situation. The United States insisted on the policy of "Europe first, Asia later", which led to the delay in the supply of weapons, ammunition and food. In April 1942, US military commander Edward King led tens of thousands of US troops to surrender to the Japanese army. Subsequently, after holding on to Corregidor Island for a period of time, the highest commander of the US military in the Philippines, Wainwright, also chose to surrender in May. In the end, a total of about 90,000 US-Philippines coalition forces became prisoners. This was the largest surrender of the US military in World War II, and it is also regarded as a major shame in the history of the US military.

@TheFivegoodemperors Guided by this wrong line, Vietnam openly opposed China. Vietnam began to frantically exclude Chinese people and suppress the normal life of overseas Chinese, resulting in a large number of overseas Chinese returning to China. It provoked armed conflicts on the Sino-Vietnamese border, sent armed personnel to cross the border to harass, injure border residents, overturn boundary markers, and encroach on the Chinese border. It created incidents such as Punianling and Tinghaoshan, and the relationship between China and Vietnam became severe. Vietnam tore up the 1958 statement of the Vietnamese government recognizing that the Dongsha Islands, Xisha Islands, Zhongsha Islands, and Nansha Islands belong to China, and occupied more than 96% of the islands in China's Nansha Islands.

@TheFivegoodemperors In the book "1979 War to Defend the Northern Border of the Motherland - Victory and Historical Lessons" written by Dr. Chen Youhui, a member of the Vietnam Historical Science Association, data from Vietnam's People's Daily were mainly quoted:
More than 30,000 cadres and soldiers were killed and wounded, and tens of thousands of civilians were killed. Cao Bang, Lang Son, Can Tang, Lao Cai and other cities were almost completely destroyed. A total of 320 townships, 735 schools, 41 farms, 81 enterprises, and 38 forest farms were damaged. About 3.5 million people in 6 border provinces lost their houses, property and living tools.

@TheFivegoodemperors Then, in 1981, China fought to recapture Koulin Mountain and Faka Mountain, and in 1984, China fought to recapture Laoshan Mountain, Zheyin Mountain, and Balihe East Mountain. China fought to capture points from Vietnam, fought in two mountains, and fought to defend against Vietnam.
Through the ten-year Sino-Vietnamese border war, the stability of China's southwestern border was maintained. For Vietnam, the impact of the war was lasting, and its national strength was consumed and damaged for a long time, so it had to change its policy in the end.

Chinese heroes, sometimes they don't kill the enemy, but they are still invincible heroes in the hearts of the people. "Qiu Shao Yun", you can also search. A hero of the Chinese Volunteer Army. His unit lurked near the US military camp late at night, waiting for the attack at dawn. The US military was also worried about the attack of the Volunteer Army, and kept throwing incendiary bombs at the positions in front of the camp, and then kept searching back and forth with searchlights. The US military was very worried that there were Chinese Volunteer Army lurking in front of its camp. One of the incendiary bombs exploded near Qiu Shaoyun's ambush, and the fire quickly ignited Qiu Shaoyun's clothes and pants. There was a stream a few meters away from where Qiu Shaoyun was ambushing. As long as he rolled over on the ground, the fire would be extinguished. But he didn't do that, but remained motionless. In order to complete the attack at dawn and to protect his comrades and brothers around him. The Chinese People's Liberation Army soldiers nearby watched Qiu Shaoyun being burned to death. Comrades' description: He lay motionless, his face twisted in pain, and because of the pain, he dug his ten fingers deep into the soil until he was burned alive. There are countless combat heroes like Qiu Shaoyun in China. "Qiu Shaoyun", China's combat hero, did not kill a single enemy. But he protected 500 volunteers and ensured that the volunteers completed the attack mission. He did not make any sound and did not move a bit. How much perseverance does this require? This is what I call the three spirits-selfless dedication, self-sacrifice, and fearlessness to complete the mission.

Huang Jiguang, a Chinese combat hero, was also a participant in the Battle of Shangganling... The U.S. military's bunker was solid and indestructible. At the muzzle of the bunker was a heavy machine gun of the U.S. military, and this firepower point caused heavy casualties to the volunteers. Huang Jiguang crawled forward, and when he was eight or nine meters away from the enemy's firepower point, he threw a grenade at the enemy, but only destroyed half of the firepower point. When the troops took advantage of the situation to launch an attack, the machine guns in the remaining bunkers suddenly fired wildly, and the charge of the Volunteer Army's counterattack troops was stopped. At this time, Huang Jiguang was wounded and fell down again. It was about to dawn, Huang Jiguang had no ammunition around him, and his body was injured in many places. He stubbornly crawled to the firepower point, facing the muzzle of the enemy's gun that was spitting out flames, straightened his chest, opened his arms, and rushed up. The enemy's spitting flames were extinguished, and the machine guns were silent. Huang Jiguang used his young life to open up a path for the troops to advance to victory.

The Battle of Changjin Lake in the Korean War. This was a battle in the early days of the Korean War. From November 27 to December 24, 1950 (just 28 days), a direct confrontation took place in the Changjin Lake area of North Korea. The US military included the 1st Marine Division (abbreviated as the 1st Marine Division) and the 3rd and 7th Infantry Divisions, as well as the 1st Army of South Korea, with a total of about 100,000 troops; the 9th Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, which launched the attack, consisted of the 20th Army, the 26th Army and the 27th Army, with nearly 150,000 troops. (This is the data of the battle between the two sides, and this is the scale of the war). In the 28-day "Changjin Lake" battle, the US military suffered 19,843 casualties, and the Chinese Volunteer Army suffered a total of 48,156 casualties. In just 28 days, the total casualties of both sides were close to 70,000. This is the intensity of the war. The Chinese Volunteer Army had no communication equipment, and communication relied on whistles and charge horns. Holding old weapons, wearing tattered clothes, eating potatoes frozen harder than stones at minus 40 degrees Celsius, and fighting barefoot in the snow against the US military armed to the teeth. We drove the U.S. troops out of the strategic position of "Changjin Lake" and completely wiped out the "Polar Bear Army" that the U.S. troops were proud of. Our "bitter victory" was exactly what the United States feared. What does it mean to do it at all costs? What does it mean to move forward courageously? Do you understand?

From 1931 to 1945, China was extremely short of weapons and had to set up a "machete team". The popular war song in China at that time, the lyrics "There are no guns, no cannons, the enemy makes them for us", is a true portrayal of the hardships of China at that time. The tenacious will of the Chinese soldiers never backed down. The Chinese soldiers used cold weapons to fight against the machine guns and cannons of the Japanese army, and used machetes to seize various weapons from the Japanese army. Often more than ten people were sacrificed to seize a machine gun. After all, the difficulties in China at that time were ten times more difficult than those in Palestine today. Remembering history, being grateful to ancestors, and revitalizing China, the Chinese spirit completely defeated the Bushido spirit of Japan, forcing Japan to use the "high-tech weapons" of the time - biological weapons and chemical weapons - without scruples on the battlefield.

The Japanese army had 500 aircraft, 300 tanks, and 130 warships. The Battle of Shanghai (also known as the Battle of August 13, the Second Battle of Shanghai, and the Second Shanghai Incident in Japan) was the first large-scale battle between China and Japan in the War of Resistance against Japan, and it was also the largest and most brutal battle in the entire Sino-Japanese War.
In the Battle of Shanghai, a total of about 1 million troops from China and Japan were involved in the battle. The battle itself lasted for three months. The Japanese army deployed 9 divisions and 220,000 troops, with more than 90,000 casualties; the Chinese army deployed 73 divisions and more than 700,000 troops, with more than 250,000 casualties.
