The Brainwashing Propaganda Of The CCP's Patriotic Film "The Battle At Lake Chang-Jin" ｜中共爱国主义电影《长津湖》的“洗脑说辞”

 

The Battle of Chosin Reservoir was an important battle in the Korean War. Despite launching a surprise attack, the Chinese forces suffered extremely heavy casualties due to inadequate logistics, outdated equipment, poorly trained soldiers, and insufficient clothing. In addition, they lacked air superiority. Mao Zedong's personal letter to Ninth Corps commander Song Shilun also highlighted the painful lessons learned from the battle. Although Song's Ninth Corps had three reinforced armies, 12 divisions, and more than 160,000 soldiers, due to poor organization, command mistakes, and other reasons, it had disintegrated as a fighting force just 20 days after the end of the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, and its corps designation was permanently abolished four years later. Chinese statistics are not accurate enough, but it is estimated that the total losses were between 40,000 and 80,000. History has proven that the Korean War was instigated by Kim Il-sung, but Chinese involvement resulted in enormous costs due to inadequate organization, unjustifiable combat, and command mistakes.

The portrayal of Chinese soldiers in the film "The Battle of Chosin Reservoir" as "unfazed by death", "resilient in the face of hardship", and "tenacious and unwavering" is purely a brainwashing rhetoric for the Chinese people. It is used to enhance the CCP's control over the Chinese population and alleviate the significant wealth gap and fairness issues that already exist in Chinese society. Ultimately, it fuels Chinese populism, leading people to believe that "only the Communist Party can save China."

Although the lives of soldiers are precious, looking back now, the "Heroic Company" created by the CCP does seem like a "company of clowns".

长津湖战役是朝鲜战争中的一场重要战役。尽管中方在不宣而战的情况下发动了突袭，但由于后勤跟不上、装备落后、士兵缺乏训练和穿着单薄，再加上没有制空权，导致死伤极其惨重。毛泽东致信第九兵团司令宋时轮的亲笔信也表明了战斗的惨痛教训。宋时轮的九兵团虽然拥有三个加强军、12个师、16万多人，但由于组织不力、指挥失误等原因，在长津湖战役结束20天后已经溃不成军，四年后军团番号被永久撤销。中方的统计数据不够精确，但据估计，总损失介于4万到8万之间。历史证明，朝鲜战争是金日成挑起的，但中方卷入其中，由于组织不力、战斗斗不义、指挥失误等原因，付出了巨大代价。

《长津湖》电影中反应出的中国官兵“视死如归”，“吃苦耐劳”，“坚毅顽强”，完全是一种对中国民众的“洗脑说辞”，借此来增强中共对中国百姓的统治，以及缓解中国社会已经十分突出的贫富矛盾和公平问题，并最终激化中国的民粹主义，让民众坚信“只有共产党才能救中国”。

官兵生命十分宝贵，但现在回看，中共口中塑造的“英雄连”，确实有“沙雕连”的样子。
