The Terrifying Man Left Behind for China to Face
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- The men of the 7th Infantry Division, known as the Bayonet Division, were on the verge of being overrun by the superior numbers of Chinese Communists.
One of the many GIs caught under the surprise night attack was Private First Class Jack Hanson, a machine gunner with Company F, tasked with defending the two hills at Pachi-dong, Korea.
The intense enemy fire and the roar of explosives deafened Hanson’s buddies, but they kept firing clip after clip. Magazine belt after magazine belt. As the enemy advanced towards his position, Hanson’s men were wounded and required evacuation and treatment.
Instead of running for safety, he covered everyone else’s retreat. Knowing more of his comrades would make it back if they had cover fire. Amidst the chaos, Hanson stood firm, his machine gun’s barrel running hot after nonstop fire.
He stood alone against the tide of enemy forces, a lone sentinel facing adversity. After expending all his ammunition, Hanson took his pistol and a machete, ready to honor the nickname of his division: The Bayonet Division.

Korean War veterans were as equally heroic and likely more so than most, but that war is largely forgotten. True heroes.
Its is known as the forgoten war my grandpa served in korea he was under lewis millet the man that led the last bayonette charges in combat during korea he fought on bayyonette hill. He came back an alchoholic then my grandma found him and brought him to god hes been a deacon of the church ever since. You can tell he did some shit because hes all about history untill i got old ebough to own guns and bought a bunch of milsurp rifles to show him he had this look like not you too. Had to promise id only ever fight if the war was at home . Theres are only two males innthe bloodline that havent gone to war for this country and i think he feels weve spilled enough
@@todydnwell understandable the family has been at war off and on for 80yeats ,that I know of. One Uncle served in the Marines in Korea.
@@todydn Look how our politicians have sold out the sacrifices of the men who died for the wars they voted for. Your grandpa was right not to let you sacrifice yourself for Boeing's stock prices. Trump 2024.
Blessed are the peacemakers.
My great uncle was with 2 battalion 38th infantry and he was my hero as a kid. He had so many ribbons and medals. He had the silver star, the bronze star and the Purple Heart…people have forgotten the Korean War and how horrible and deadly it was. He never told me how he got any of his medals he would always just say “for being a good boy” was always his answer until one day thanks to the great internet I found the citation! He was wounded by mortar fire and and carried wounded men to a helicopter in multiple trips whilst also engaging attacking enemy with a BAR. But the more research I do on Korea the more I realize this war should not have been forgotten…it was a savage blood bath.
@@cuckertarlson3329 agreed also because its forgoten history its as the saying goes doomed to repeat
RIP PFC Hanson... Your story brought tears to my eyes and won't be forgotten.... You are the definition of a Hero....
I have my grandfathers war knife from Korea. He told me if it wasn’t for this knife he wouldn’t be telling me this story. Thanks giving night the Chinese flooded the boarder. He told me there was so many Chinese you couldn’t see the ground and they looked like ants swarming a hill. Out of 647 from his division alone twelve made it out and six were walking. He was one of the six. The maze the Chinese set up for him as the retreated south was insane and known as the Gauntlet. United States Army Second infantry division. Served 1950-1951 Porfirio Felix.
More needs to be told of Korea. My Dad had 2 tours with the 1st calvary division 7th calvary regiment 2nd battalion. I miss him
Oh twice volunteered to kill abroad for money! You must be really proud of your father!
And how many Koreans did he kill in Korea?
And you miss him? Why don't you build an empathy bridge from here to Korea?
Imagine the British occupying the USA as a colony. Then Afghanistan defeats the British and occupies the southern USA, while Canada leads the north to independence.
And now imagine that someone in Afghanistan misses his Taliban father, who previously "bravely" killed US citizens in the USA in order to secure Afghanistan's "influence" there.
Are you even awake?
My uncle Rudy was in the 7th in Korea. 7th Division, 17th Regt. He used to tell my dad stories about the human wave attacks. They would always come at night. He would line up every gun he could find and when they came, he would mow them down like grass and they just kept coming. They got caught with the marines at chosin. He survived all that only to be murdered in the late 70s. My dad passed in my arms 5 months ago. I hope he had a happy reunion with his favorite brother.
When I think of the word HERO, I think of the phrase, "In the face of certain death..."
God Bless you Big H! You held it down! 🙏
HANSON BARRACKS, On Sand Hill, Fort Benning, Georgia, was named after this brave man!
I read the plaque when I was there 41 years ago. 11B
Same with me almost 44 years ago. 82nd airborne Infantry
A very intense short video. Showing the tenacity that these brave US Soldiers fought with. Ready to do their duty to help save others. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨
The battle at Chosen reservoir was a huge miracle that there weren’t thousands of Americans captured and or killed.
I was about to go to sleep when you uploaded this, had to check it out
being the last man to hold the line so others can live...irl.

@@mayanktripathi8726 I see you're forgetting a couple Bush's there. Not at all bias, are we?
They ought to name a base after him.
Bless Private First Class Hansen.
Korean veterans had Brass Balls!
Served in the 7th with the 1st Bn, 79 Artillery , 1970.
"...40 were KIA, and 102 injured"
- SSgt. Martin from Band of Brothers would say: "It's called "wounded", Peanut. "Injured" is when you fall out of a tree or something."
It was Task Force Smith of the 24th Infantry Division not the 25th Infantry Division.
Hey, remember that time we helped the Chinese fight the Japanese a little over a decade before the Korean war? I guess they forgot too. This is the thanks we usually get.
I love these short videos....
James Woods narration sets the tone perfectly although his fall from grace is quite sad
Wow. What a badass.
Wait, doesn't the 7th calvary date back to General George Armstrong Custer? That's beyond WWI.
5:56 that kid looks either terrified or he's just getting in the zone.
someone explain what clip after clip, and a magazine belt is. got me stuffed.
lol ya pelican 🤣
@@MrLunithy if i was a looney, id identify as a goose, a gander to be precise. but im not into gander politics🤔, so a pelican will suffice🍻
@@MrLunithy fark, just releasised i wrote a poem, of sorts
Ah, well you see....um....clip after clip is when you don't get good target acquisition, and can't place nice center of mass shots, and are only able to 'wing' or 'clip' the baddies. 🤔
....and a magazine belt is....hmmm....either the experimental ultra-high capacity rubber magazine developed by Good👟Year that could be rolled up and stuffed in a pack, or had buckles to enable the soldier to fasten them around his waist, or carry them like a bandolier. 🙄 Alternately, it might also apply to certain machine guns that were belt fed, but the belt was coiled or layered inside a removable drum or box magazine. 🤦🏼♂️....right??🤣
@@TheScoundrel70 ah now i see, much like the m9000 break barrel gattling pistol. cheers
You forgot about the cold weather, many of the units were not prepared for the cold weather from the north.
Make a video about the 8th Infantry Divison.
Like Sammy Hagar sang, "remember the heroes".
Love these videos , keep 'em coming
surprised they were still using water cooled machine guns.
Great video D5 👍👍
Inaccurate description of equipment.
Hammer and anvil?
what does the retreating soldier pick up on the run at 12:25?
I’ve never heard a belt of ammo called a magazine belt. Did the voiceover guy make that up??
yes
51k views and ONLY 2k likes??!!??!??
c'mon people
Hammer and Anvil? Hammer and Sickle maybe?
I contend that the Korean war was waged just to use up some of the equipment and ammo left over from WWII
Magazine belt?
Yeah, the writers messed that one up. They combined two ammo feeding devices into one.
China's vise primier Huang Yanpei changed the name of the PLA to PVA so it wouldn't look like China was sending their actual troops to engage the US in Korea, when they were sending actual troops. According to wiki
It's unusually late for a video.
It is very late to upload a video compared to when he usually does, but maybe he had a busy day. I'd rather have something late then not at all.
😂Annnnnnd?..you arrrrre???his keeper?? 🤣..hope you have a good day tho...hopefully wake up in a more...🤔 positive mood
7th Infantry is legendary.
Does anybody know the story of “Jack Hinson”?
magazine belt? what is that?
i AM THE DIRECT RESULT of my fathers wounded return,from Korea [born july 1952]
Do one Jose lopez....count stopped at 100 they didn't have time to count more
The US soldiers portrayed in the movie, "Pork Chop Hill" were from the 7th Infantry Division.
Wasn't there a movie made that showed that fight from the side of two lovers from China or NK?
They’d have to be trans lovers to get the attraction of Hollywood
At 10:48 the video finally catches up to the introduction.
God’s work
Well it wasn't El Marino Loco.
10:30 Pvt Hansen story starts
The Chinese had only warm weather gear and limited air support. The fought the Americans to a standstill. let's not forget their bravery. and the fact that they were only there because were forced to enter the war (after warrning repeatedly) because psycho Macarthur threatened NE China where much of the industry was
I myself. Fought. All over. The. World. Bob13. Freedom is not. Free
Click Bait Alert! If you want to hear about the machine gunner just go to 10:33. Otherwise you can listen to the history of Korea from before WWI.
Part of me thinks he is a relative. My dad’s uncle, so I guess a great uncle. I remember my grandpa talking about his brother fighting and dying in Korea. I’ll never know I suppose. Thank you for these amazing tales of heroism
stop calling it clips!!
Was 7th infantry ever based at fort ord (planet ord) California?
Dose any on here know Wich devision was based at fort ord ?
And wich helocopter troops was based there ?
McArthur wasn't a hero.

Today Private Hansen I will remember you...RIP.
You left out that he told someone “get going I’ll cover you “ and then got hit between the eyes.
It appears their was colonial rule, imperial rule, or constitutional republic rule. The nations state, and the people’s choice. So theirs democracy. And the ruling elite of the world, of which all flags fall under of which they care not for. Of which they decided to put to the real world test of communism, nationalism, democracy, republicanism, Zionism, nazism, socialism and a cocktail of those. In the financially backed and artificially pushed forward nations who bore such ideas. All funded by the US, European bankers, and men of a destiny through a scope they perceived and wanted to test. Nazism, with its rise proved effective. Socialism under Stalin proved effective. Zionism proved effective, democracy, a constitutional republic proved effective, especially with capitalism to face nationalism, with communism to the east and capitalism to the west. Royal and colonial capitalism rose to face the treat of nationalism. The end of the world wars proved, through sheer might or through Consequential results, what the future might hood for the masses
This is all waffle & filler...story is about 1 minute of info...Poor.
Now I remember why i hate this channel. Then spend 20 minutes talking about not the title, and theee minutes talking about the title.
Come on Hollywood no more weak lame movies. Process movies from stories like these ones of bravery and Valor, no diversity no political correctness inserts no race swapping no empowered feminists . JUST ACCURATE TO THE REAL HISTORY TALES FROM REPORTS AND EYE WITNESSES .

“Clip after clip” and “magazine belt after magazine belt” if you’re going to do these videos to “honor” the war fighter please get the terminology correct.
Damn new war criminal lore drop
These Men need more recognition for their sacrifices My Father received a Purple Heart while serving with the 38th tank company with the 2nd Infantry division on Old Baldy in 1952
It has always bothered be that Vietnam vets demand more recognition while ignoring the crickets that Korean War vets experienced.
Vietnam Veterans haven't
"demanded " anything?
what are you talking about? Yes THE Korean War is much less remembered or recognized as the Vietnam War but that's not the brave men that fought its fault?
@@thomasb1889hhhhhhhh😂
Korean War vets were honored I believe. It was technically a police action not a war on the books. But they were treated honorably by the public.
Vietnam the hippi generation actually turned on the soldiers themselves as if they started the war or caused it when they simply did what was required. Whether it was right or wrong is hard to say. Life is not so simple as right or wrong choices always. Sometimes its, this choice will hurt right away but will allow greater benefits over time, this one will feel good in the immediate but slowly things will rot and get worse. Vietnam was the choice where it hurts right away, but we don't know what the full end result of it is, except the Soviet Union did collapse, and now Russia is collapsing again. Sooooo. we shall see how the rest of the future plays
@@aurorauplinks The Korean Vets were not treated badly like the Nam vets but they were not honored there was an air of indifference like where the hell have you been ? The treatment of the Vietnam Vets by the VFW back in the 60s and 70s was the reason my Dad dropped out and never went back . His younger Brother did 2 tours in Nam on river boats during Op. Game Warden The VFW rejected his application because it was not a declared war but then neither was Korea
Now I remember why i hate this channel. Then spend 20 minutes talking about not the title, and theee minutes talking about the title.
It's my belief that tactics can be taught,use of weapons can be taught and even discipline can be taught. What cannot be taught is courage. Nobody can be taught to disregard danger... none but the brave can and will do that.
i agree it cant be taught but i think everyone is capable of it given the right motivation parents will often do crazy things to save a child that many times is not even their own also anger and a thirst for revenge is a great at motivating people to push through danger
@@paktahn You make a valid point... I would also add that there are those who conquer the built in instinct of self preservation in order to punch their own ticket. It's tragic, it is not the answer. But there is that disregard for themselves. I wouldn't call that courage though.
@@Joseph-z7s3b It's actually easy. Just accept the fact that you are already dead, and you don't fear anything.
@@Joseph-z7s3b i think i might fall under that category i have never really held much value in my own life the thought of my own death has never really sparked any emotion in me im not religious i think it is a result of my upbringing i have been around a ton of animal death as my father was an avid hunter and loved fishing in the off season so i was taught how to kill and clean game from about 5 years old its not that i dont value life at all i just see people as another animal on this planet and death is part of life and there are things worth sacrificing ones life for if need be
@@paktahn People are at once the best and the worst creatures on the planet. Capable of creating music and capable of creating Auschwitz. I suppose that I'm kind of like you in the sense that I don't lose my breath when I think of my death. A quote for you,a fellow wanderer and a song recommendation if you like. 1st, the quote "You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the all singing all dancing crap of the world..." I listen to METAL. Specifically DEATH METAL. The song that I'd recommend is by the band CARCASS... EMOTIONAL FLATLINE. I would say that it at least covers my bases, perhaps yours as well... Either way, live until you die. Suffer as least is possible. Good luck.
What was titled "The Terrifying Man Left Behind for China to Face" turned out to be 10½ minutes of a rehash of the entire history of the Korean War followed by only 2½ minutes on the titular topic.
Thanks
Don’t forget the history of the 7 th infantry division.
The first time I heard of him and that battle was late 1991 from one who had been there. It was the first time I saw one of my uncles drinking alcohol. It was after I got back to the USA after Desert Storm, my uncle and I went fishing. RIP Uncle Frank.
❤❤❤Hansen,you are remembered.❤❤❤.what a man.
My Dad was there,not that same battle,but on point with a BAR,and also fought hand to hand.
He survived,thank You Lord Jesus!!!
To all of the Korea War vets, thank you for your service.
We are going to need men like this soon I'm afraid .
Don't assume my pronouns
Hard times create strong men, Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men, Weak men create hard times.
No point fighting for a country that has sold out its own people. Americans are waking up.
You won't get them. Nothing worth fighting for.
*always need
The same unit(31st Infantry) would go to destroy the the PLA's 81st Infantry Division and mauled elements of the 94th Infantry Division at the Battle of Chosin. They delayed the PLA's advance by 2 days giving the Marine 1st Division time. Only 1,050 Soldiers survived out of the 2,500 strong Regiment. Only 385 were able to still fight. The rest were wounded. A Navy Chaplain would later call them cowards. Which stuck for decades until China provided details of the battle and losses. The unit would be later awarded the Navy Presidential Unit Citation.

I can't imagine actually caring about my country enough anymore to willingly die for it. Not when politicians leave our borders open and bankrupt our future fighting endless wars for special, foreign interests.
Trump 2024. Take the country back from the swamp.
I served many years ago and ask myself the same question every day.
I served with the 185th within 7th division for a few years. They have crazy history but I’m happy to see this dudes story get told.
Chinese did not enter Korea till the UN pushed NK back.
The thumbnail shows a guy holding a Chinese sword called a dàdāo, probably not the specific implement from this event.
Yes, that’s an infantryman from the dadao division, 29th Army, China. Probably late 1930’s. Respect
Ive seen guys with a pair of these basically windmilling em around like a candy raver with a set of glowsticks. Pretty damn impressive honestly

95% filler and 5% about the clickbait title..... SIGH
You’re not a tree 🌴 move on
Weird it's like its history there's a lot more to history than just 5 minute instances of heroism. It's always good to know what lead up to the specific battle and why they're where there. And he's used the “clickbait” title to grab you're interest. And it's not clickbait it would have been click bait if the video had nothing to do with the title this did so therefore not clickbait.
