In the war between 1950 and 1953, the newly founded new China resolutely sent troops into the DPRK with its poor and white national strength, and although we rushed the "United Nations Army" led by the United States back to the "38th Line," the sons and daughters of China also paid a great price, and thousands of young men never crossed the Yalu River to return to the motherland of their dreams. So how do China and the United States evaluate each other in this war? Are Americans really paper tigers?
In strategic contempt for the enemy and tactical attention to the enemy, we can compare the US war motives and conspiracies to "paper tigers", but in the real battlefield, the ADVANCED weapons, sophisticated equipment, logistical superiority, and air strikes of the US military are not "paper tigers".
Even if our volunteer soldiers starved, slept and forgot to eat, and detoured, after forming a siege of the American army, they still could not annihilate them with the support of their artillery and air power, and this end of encirclement but inability to eat exposed the shortcomings of our logistics ability and insufficient artillery.
This is the truth of the Korean battlefield, and this truth makes people speechless...
Evaluation of Americans
Therefore, commander Peng Laozong once said:
"The mechanized troops of the United States and Britain moved rapidly, and the construction of fortifications was also fast, mainly because the tank units had been intertwined into a defensive system, and it was unfavorable to use the current technical equipment of the volunteer army to engage in position warfare against the enemy, and it might even be a defeat."
"Encircling the coalition but not eating the opponent" has also become the norm on the battlefield, often with great sacrifices, the most typical examples being the second battle at the end of 1950 and the battle of the bottom in February 1951.
In this relatively small battle in the bottompage, the 23rd Regiment of the US 2nd Division was like a nail inserted in the rear of the volunteer offensive route, in order to remove this nail, our 8 regiments attacked here in turn, but a regrettable scene appeared, that is, the volunteer army lacking heavy weapons suffered heavy losses in front of the American army with technical superiority, even if the number of people could not take the position defended by 6,000 American troops (including a French battalion), and finally the volunteer army took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield.
The commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 359th Regiment, who was in charge of the attack, could not bear to leave when he was ordered to retreat, and he cried bitterly in the face of the dead soldiers, and such a battlefield was just an ordinary scene on the Korean Peninsula.
Our warriors are really hard, they are fighting with their lives.
When the Americans also expressed their views on the Chinese army after the end of the war, the U.S. military history commented: "Chinese soldiers are extremely weak in firepower, primitive logistics, insufficient air power, and infantry are well-trained, accustomed to combat, and especially good at night combat and close combat." Excellent camouflage technology and outstanding reconnaissance capabilities provide a strong guarantee for drawing and camouflage. He is particularly capable of mountain mobility, skilled in the use of mortars, and tenacious willpower. ”
However, the US military also pointed out that the Chinese volunteer army cannot be called a modern army, and there are many weaknesses that can be exploited.
How would you feel when you saw the mutual evaluation between China and the United States?
While we love to see heroes tell heroic battle stories, the real battlefield is brutal, and the enemy will not turn a blind eye to you because of your weak firepower, nor will you feel pity because of your lack of national strength. To repel the enemy with technological superiority, we can only rely on soldiers to fight, fight, and fight again, in order to obtain hard-won victories. The mutual evaluation of China and the United States is indeed very objective, which is more memorable than the heroic deeds.
It is true that the Americans are not "paper tigers" on the battlefield, but very ferocious, and our soldiers will suffer great losses, which may be the wordless truth on the battlefield!
How good is the real "mountain carving"? The title of "Third Master" says everything, and no one can match it
