During the three-year-long War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, China and the United States obviously became the "protagonists" of the battlefield, which was reflected in the fact that the two sides sent troops to the largest number of countries on the battlefield except for the two countries concerned, and also in the fact that the Chinese and US armed forces played a leading role in both camps.
This has played a key role in understanding and judging the combat capabilities and intentions of the other side on the battlefield, but this does not mean that the South Koreans under the command of the "United Nations Army" do not have a certain objective understanding of our volunteer army, after all, if we look at the number of troops sent, the size of south Korea's troops is much larger than that of the United States, so how does the South Korean army evaluate our volunteer army?
South Korean troops suffered heavy losses
As a member of the battlefield, the ROK army can be described as a huge loss on the battlefield, whether it is the momentum of the Korean People's Army that shocked the Korean People's Army in the early stage, or the fierce offensive of the volunteer army after entering the DPRK, it has made the ROK army miserable, so the Korean people are also quite impressed by the combat quality of the volunteer army.
So in the face of a powerful enemy, the Koreans' understanding and tactical analysis of the volunteer army's tactics was often more detailed than the Analysis of the Americans, which stemmed from the fact that they bore the brunt of the huge losses in this war. So the following points are the Analysis of the Tactics of the Volunteer Army by the Koreans at that time! See if these analyses match your impression of the volunteers?
First: mobile offensive tactics
In the Description of the Koreans, the Volunteers were adept at seizing the enemy's weaknesses and quickly attacking the enemy's weak points. And flexible use of troops, rapid mobility, rapid interspersing. Once the attack is successful, it will take advantage of the victory to pursue, and if it is frustrated, it can also quickly retreat to avoid falling into a stalemate with the enemy.
Second: sharp knife breakthrough tactics
It is a tactic of breaking through narrow fronts, with the attacking forces forming a powerful tip of attack, the front-line troops plunging into each other's defensive positions like a sharp blade, and using hand-to-hand combat to deprive their own artillery and air forces of the ability to provide artillery support.
Third: interspersed with segmentation tactics
This tactic must be very familiar to many people, and this is a combat tactic of interspersing, dividing, and encircling that our army is accustomed to using. Using the strong attack of the attacking force to penetrate into the enemy's position, the large target is divided into a number of small targets, and one by one is annihilated. It can be said that the analysis of this tactic is still to the point.
Fourth: mobile defensive tactics
This tactic is to defend layer by layer, resist one by one, fight while retreating, and delay the enemy's attack. And the use of ambush means to reduce the speed of the enemy's attack, simply put, is to gradually fight ambush. This tactic was used by the Volunteers in the second phase of the Fourth Campaign to delay Ridgway's great counteroffensive and to effectively reduce the speed of the UN offensive.
In addition to these South Korean troops, they also summarized the tactics of "center blossoming", as well as night raids, as well as whistle blowing and military trumpet attacks to disturb the rest of the coalition forces, or use the sound of military trumpets to carry out "psychological tactics", suppress the morale of the "United Nations Army", and so on.
It can be said that the summary of the Koreans is still quite in place, of course, this is the summary of the Koreans, not the summary of the volunteer army. However, as a huge combat team on the battlefield, the ROK army can be said to be a common thing to engage with the volunteer army, and the Koreans still have a deep understanding of the summary of our army's combat tactics.
This must be the Rok army repeatedly encountered these tactics on the battlefield, so the impression after being hurt is often particularly profound, so that there will be such an evaluation and analysis of the volunteer tactics, it should still be more objective, for the Koreans' evaluation, do you think they summed it up correctly? Feel free to leave a message to discuss, like to like the collection, there will be more articles about the Korean War period will continue to update.
