家园 on 一个兵团给对手国家留下了若干年的心理阴影

First, salute to those chinese soldiers who sacrificed for the independence and territory integrity of China!

But, I am not sure about that statement.

I guess you got this impression from Chinese media--and Chinese media might overstate or exxaggerate for domestic PR purpose.

The 1st Marine Corp. under General Smith withdrew successfully in the end.

Below are the data from wikipedia on the casualties of both sides:

US sides:

US sources:

1,029 killed

4,582 wounded

4,894 missing

7,338 non-battle casualties[7][nb 2]

15 tank losses[8]

Chinese estimation:

13,900[6]

Chinese sources:

19,202 battle casualties

28,954 non-battle casualties[6]

Unofficial estimations: ~60,000[9][nb 3]

It is 30k American soldiers vs. 90-100k Chinese soldiers. The casualties on Chinese side is too heavy. And most of casualities was inflicted by the arrogant army leader who totally ignored the impact of poor weather in the winter of Korea!

兵马未动粮草先行, that's Chinese wisdom for two thousand years. Song Si-lun 轻视 his two enemies in Korea: weather and American marine 1st corp.
