Arduous March

The Arduous March refers to a difficult period during the Korean War from late 1950 to early 1951, when North Korean forces, after their initial advance, faced severe setbacks. It involved a long, challenging retreat through harsh winter conditions, with troops suffering from cold, hunger, and exhaustion as they withdrew northward. This retreat was marked by strategic battles, significant hardships, and heavy casualties, reflecting the intense struggles of North Korean and Chinese forces during that phase of the conflict.
