The Smile of the Volunteer Army: Li Jingxuan, a journalist from China Military Network. This is a photo taken 70 years ago. In the photo, 12 People's Volunteer Army soldiers stand in front and back rows. Two soldiers in the front row hold brocade flags. Everyone smiles happily at the camera. Several people even smile like flowers on their faces. If you think this is just a photo taken by soldiers to celebrate their achievements, then think simply. They are the reconnaissance team of the 607th Regiment of the 203th Division of the 68th Army of the Volunteer Army, which created a team to defeat an enemy's ace regiment headquarters, killed 54 enemies, captured 19, and achieved zero casualties. Yes, they are the prototype of "Raid on the White Tiger Regiment". The story of the Raid on the White Tiger Regiment is widely known in China. Compared to the heroic and compelling performances of actors on the Beijing Opera stage or movie screen, this photo forever records the simplest and cutest side of the battle heroes. Even from the screen, it can be speculated that the warrior, who appeared to be the youngest and even pursed his lips with a smile, may be holding a banner that was "stuffed" to him by a big man standing in the middle. Why does the big guy smile happier? The big man, named Yang Yucai, is a first-class combat hero of the Volunteer Army, who has achieved extraordinary accomplishments in commanding this battle. This class also made a collective special contribution for this battle. We are currently unable to determine the exact time of taking this photo. What is certain is that less than half a month after this textbook level "decapitation", the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed, and the spectacular war to resist US aggression and aid Korea ended successfully. War often gives us a cruel and bloody first impression, a fierce and bloody struggle, and a choking smell of fire and smoke. The confrontation between the two armies, the dance of iron and fire, and the battle between life and death, depict the cold appearance of war. Especially with the release of the first human photo "outside the window" in 1826, countless wars were truthfully recorded and spread to the world, constantly changing people's understanding of war. The images of crying mothers, struggling children, and melancholic soldiers, which can directly strike the softest part of the soul, seem to have become the theme and standard of war photos. American soldiers trapped in the quagmire of the Vietnam War. However, some precious images left over from the war over 70 years ago have opened up another perspective for us to understand war. This should be a picture taken by a War correspondent. In the photo, three soldiers are digging trenches with their heads down. In the distance, there is a dense forest, and the thick snow reflects the warm sunshine flowing through the branches, seemingly illuminating the entire picture. The area with the brightest light is a soldier wearing a suede hat on the right side of the picture, who is working with a shovel in his waist. The profile of the warrior's face was perfectly captured by the camera, so young, handsome, and smiling. The cheerful expression was like plowing the land in winter, hoping for the smooth sowing of the next spring. The soldiers of the 42nd Volunteer Army built fortifications in the Huangcaoling area. The photo is taken from the Memorial of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, which is a small silhouette of the first battle of the volunteer army going abroad - the Huangcaoling Interception War. October 1950
