The story of a marine batallions fight during the Korean War.
Where there was no such thing as retreat, only attacking the enemy on a diffrent front.
Here is where the Heroes died.
(Coming soon. A historical fiction brought to you by Me, from hopefully many diffrent view points. From several marine viewpoints, and possibly one communist soldier on the offensive.)

Since I haven't written it yet...Here is some history about this.
The battle of the Chosin Reservoir took place after MacArthur's landing at Inchon, cutting off the supply lines of the Communist north Korean forces. They pushed up to and past the 38th parallel which was the previous border.
The Chinese threatened to attack unless they stopped at the 28th but that was ignored as an empty threat...
So the Chinese sent 12 divisions of army troops, and I believe that a division is 10,000 troops. They moved under cover of night, and ambushed our advancing forces. The orders to withdraw only came through after the 1st marine company, as well as several small army units were trapped at the Chosin reservoir.
