The Volunteer Army: The Strike of the Soldier Film Introduction:
In 1950, a civil war broke out between the two regimes of North and South Korea, and before long, the United States declared its entry into the war and took the opportunity to bombard the northeastern part of the country and sent its fleet to blockade the Taiwan Strait in order to obstruct the completion of the great cause of the unification of the Chinese nation. At the time of the crisis, our top management started a series of careful discussions and projections and sent Premier Zhou to Moscow to ask for Stalin's support. However, Stalin was ambiguous, and we were at the beginning of our nation's construction and in the midst of a difficult period of reconstruction. However, in order to protect the country from the enemy, Chairman Mao decides to send the People's Volunteer Army (PVA), led by Comrade Peng Dehuai (Wang Yanhui), to fight in North Korea.
