In the United Nations army led by the United States in 1950, there was a unit that dared to carry out night raids and white-knife warfare with the volunteer army, which began to land in Busan, South Korea in September 1950, which was one of the earliest units in the coalition army to land on the peninsula, and the volunteer army had not yet entered Korea at this time, but the size of this force was not large and only one battalion was strength, and five infantry battalions were sent to Korea in turn for combat and rotation, and fought at different times with the volunteer army. Among them, many of them dared to carry out night raids and white-knife battles against our army, which is really commendable...
Seeing that their troops were so small, they knew that they were not Americans or British, but the Philippines, which was across the sea from our country, the answer was really surprising.
Cold war
Of the five Successive Philippine Battalions, the 10th Battalion had more than 1,300 troops and a tank company, which had been part of the combat sequence of the U.S. 25th Division. This force collapsed during the second campaign of the Allied retreat due to a lack of adequate winter clothing, bearing in mind that these soldiers brought from the heat could not withstand the harsh winter cold of the Korean Peninsula, even if they were in sufficient winter clothes.
The kind that never knows what a storm and snow is! Filipinos who never know what it's like to be in the snow! During the Second Campaign, it was thoroughly understood what it meant to be unbearable cold.
Battle of Ori
Later, the 20th Battalion of the Philippines came to South Korea for rotation, and during the Fifth Campaign, it was a white-knife battle with the volunteer army, and it should be known that our soldiers were very good at white-knife warfare, and during the entire War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, no army dared to take the initiative to engage in close combat with Chinese soldiers.
In a battle called Mount Ori, a certain unit of our 39th Army, the record of this Philippine unit fighting in front of it was that my 2nd platoon repelled the repeated attacks of two enemy companies and launched two counter-charges, of which on the 190 high ground our unit created a squad to repel an enemy battalion, a total of 11 attacks, killing and wounding 160 enemy people, and only 3 wounded themselves.
It was also in this battle that the Philippine troops actually broke out a fierce white-knife war with our army, which was one of the few troops on the battlefield who dared to engage in white-knife warfare with Chinese soldiers, and even the Turks who were good at playing with cold weapons did not have the strength to win the white-knife war, let alone the Philippines, which had little combat experience, and finally they were defeated by the volunteer army.
At the T-Shaped Hill position on June 20, 1952, the Philippine forces had been replaced by the 19th Battalion under the command of the U.S. 45th Division. Supported by 16 allied artillery companies and tanks and aircraft, the Filipinos launched a fierce attack on the Volunteer 117th Division, which not only had fierce firepower but also dared to launch a night attack.
We know that the volunteer army's good at fighting white-knife warfare and night warfare is closely related to its own inferior equipment and insufficient firepower, so only at night can we use night as a cover to narrow the gap in equipment and firepower between our side and the coalition forces.
However, the Filipinos also dared to launch an attack at night, which was equivalent to dancing a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and in the end it was useless. It can be said that in the entire battle sequence of the coalition forces, no soldier of any country can have the will to fight as the volunteer army, the Americans do not, the South Koreans do not, and the Filipinos do not have it.
