What was the Watergate Bridge incident?
Watergate Bridge incident was a large-scale retreat of American troops in the battle of Changjin Lake at that time. It was frightened by China Volunteers and had to choose to escape. However, we had to take this weapon and equipment to escape, so the US military began to retreat to Nanxing Port on the east coast of North Korea.

The so-called Watergate Bridge is not a bridge in a strict sense, but a dam of Huangcaoling Hydropower Station built by the Japanese in those years. Highway transportation can be done at the top of the dam, and there are cliffs tens of meters deep below.

Because this bridge is the only way for American troops to leave, if American troops can occupy it, they are likely to escape smoothly. As long as our army blows up this bridge, it will strangle the lifeline of the American army, and the US 1 Marine Division will fall into a desperate situation where there is no way up and no way down.
