电影《长津湖》上映了，志愿军第九兵团将美国陆战一师（25000人，相当于我们一个军）分割包围长津湖地区，战斗的惨烈就不用描述了。
那么， 历史的真实镜头尤其是美国人怎样描述长津湖的志愿军呢！老赵将一些美军的资料翻译如下。
the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “Tokyo, Nov. 28 (UP) — A horde of 200,000 Chinese Communists swarmed over North Korea today, threatening to trap desperately fighting Allies in an offensive which Gen. Douglas MacArthur said marked the start of ‘an entirely new war.’ The Chinese, pouring like locusts over the countryside as far as the human eye could see, ripped through a widening hole torn in the right flank of the U.N. line. They could be seen along ‘every road, every gully and every ridgeline,’ a 1st Corps spokesman said. As the Chinese seized the offensive and rocked the Allies back on the defensive, MacArthur issued a bristling statement accusing the Chinese of hurling the major part of their fighting force against the U.N. MacArthur said China’s full-scale intervention in the Korean war posed issues beyond his authority and asked the U.N. what they wanted to do about it. In a special signed communique, he said Red China had shattered his ‘high hopes’ of an early end to the Korean war that could get American troops ‘home by Christmas.”

《布鲁克林日报鹰报》报道：“东京，1950年11月28日——今天一群20万的中国人涌向朝鲜，威胁之大，让绝望中战斗的联合国军盟友陷入被动。道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟将军这标志着“一场全新的战争”的开始。中国人像蝗虫一样，从联合国防线右侧撕开一个越来越大的洞钻了出来。第一军的一位发言人说，他们在每条道路、每条沟壑和每条山脊上都能看到中国志愿军。随着中国发动了攻势，撼动了盟友并让他们处于守势，麦克阿瑟发表尖锐声明指责中国干涉朝鲜战争。并投入重兵对抗联合国军。麦克阿瑟说：中国全面介入朝鲜战争带来的问题已经强迫他作出决定，要求联合国按照麦克阿瑟的意愿想做什么就做什么。在一份特别签署的公报中，他说红色中国粉碎了他对朝鲜战争早日结束、让美国军队在圣诞节前回家的“厚望”。
Veterans of the battle later shared what they could see and hear.
“I heard this racket down the slope,” Pfc. Robert Cameron recalled. “It was like the sound of a Chinese birthday party, wedding, and funeral all rolled into one. People chanting, blowing horns, ringing bells, clashing cymbals, beating drums.”
Some spoke about their combat experiences.
“They came up in front of us and they were throwing grenades,” a Chosin Few veteran told the American Heroes Channel. “The grenade bounced off my helmet, killed the guy on my left, and wounded my buddy. Then things started to get hairy. We turned around and they were right behind us. My sleeping bag was there and we killed eight of them right on top of my sleeping bag.”
参加长津湖战斗的美国老兵在日记中写道。
“我听到斜坡下传来一阵嘈杂声，”陆军一等兵罗伯特·卡梅伦回忆说，“这就像中国人的生日聚会、婚礼和葬礼时经常听到的声音，三者融为一体。志愿军战士喊着歌，吹喇叭，敲钟，敲钹，敲鼓，就冲上来了。”
一些人谈到了他们的战斗经历。
“他们冲到我们前面扔手榴弹，”一名长津湖幸存老兵告诉美国“英雄频道”。“手榴弹从我的头盔上弹开，炸死了我左边的人，炸伤了我的战友。然后事情开始变得棘手起来。我们一转身，他们就在我们后面。我的睡袋在那里，我睡袋右边的八个士兵被志愿军杀了。”
