In the course of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, many wounded American soldiers had the same experience. That is, after the defeat of the battle, in the process of escaping wounded by oneself or one or two people, if they encounter our volunteer soldiers, they have obviously been found, but the volunteer soldiers will bypass them and continue to march forward.
So many American wounded soldiers who survived lamented that God blessed themselves, but there is no God in this world, at least not on the Korean battlefield.
The reason why our volunteer soldiers will let go of these lonely American wounded soldiers is actually hidden behind the unknown bitterness.
Under our army's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, we built prisoner-of-war camps for the captured coalition forces, distributed them brand new cotton coats and blankets, and provided them with meat, vegetable bread and fruit. It should be known that at that time, due to the extension of the supply line of our army in foreign combat, coupled with the bombing of our transportation line by the US Air Force, the supply of materials was very scarce, so basically every coalition prisoner enjoyed the treatment of cadres at or above the regimental level.
Originally, in the eyes of these prisoners of war, our army's policy of giving preferential treatment to prisoners of war was only lip service, and it would certainly be extremely torturous to them. But what they never expected was that under such difficult circumstances, our army would do its best to guarantee the basic living conditions of the coalition prisoners and to continuously improve their situation.
There was once an American prisoner of war who had also been in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp and told our army about his experience in the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp. According to him, in Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, American prisoners of war had no food, and if they fell ill and fell to the ground, Japanese soldiers would kick them and make them stand up. If the condition is very serious, they will even be directly executed by Japanese soldiers. The Japanese grouped each of their 10 people into groups, and if one person in the group escaped, the other 9 people would be executed. The Japanese also did not have enough food to provide them, let alone any medical assistance. The captured American soldier later said that he had been a prisoner twice in his life, but there were two very different treatments, one was brutal and insulting, and the other was a truly humanitarian leniency.
Long before the Volunteers entered Korea to fight, four provisions were made for the policy of prisoners of war, first of all to ensure the safety of prisoners of war, secondly to protect their personal property from aggression, and finally not to insult their personality and not to mistreat them. Finally, as our policy of broadband captives became more and more known to the coalition forces, white flags were fired at us on the battlefield, and these captured soldiers were even glad that they did not die in battle, but became prisoners of our army, so that they could return to their hometowns safely.
But if it were the Korean People's Army, the coalition would never surrender, and they would even die on the battlefield. That's because if the Korean People's Army captures coalition soldiers, it will subject them to all kinds of rigorous interrogations, even torture. Whether or not you say battlefield information that is useful to them, they will end up in labor camps for hard labor, and the last people who survive are about the same as the Japanese prisoner of war camps.
However, the supply situation of our army has always been poor, and even the building materials for the construction of the Bitong prisoner of war camp were transported from the northeast by our army under heavy blockade, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources of our army. In order to enrich the spare time of the prisoners of war, a library, a reading room, and a stadium were built for them, so that the prisoners could read books and newspapers, play basketball, and play football.
Even later, the PRISONERs of war in the camp were allowed to communicate with their relatives and friends at home, and this practice of our army set off a huge discussion in international public opinion, and the people of the world began to gradually reflect on whether the Communist Party of China and the Chinese People's Liberation Army, which have such a policy of treating prisoners well, are really people who are completely in two worlds as they are in their public opinion propaganda. Our army has won us praise in the world through its consistent policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, especially the families of those captured coalition troops, who have begun to look at New China with a different perspective.
The successive victories of our army in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea have caused the number of prisoners of war in the camp to rise rapidly, and the burden it has brought has become increasingly serious, and with the continuous deepening of our army's operations, the supply gap of our army has also become larger and larger. After knowing the preferential treatment that these prisoners will enjoy, in order to reduce the logistical burden of our army and reduce the use of medicines, many grass-roots volunteer soldiers have an incredible scene when facing the wounded and single soldiers of the US army, the US soldiers who want to flee back to the barracks for medical treatment and the volunteer soldiers who do not want the troops to continue to increase the burden of material supply, the two sides saw it on the battlefield, but some US soldiers did not wait to clean up the battlefield of their own people, frozen to death on the battlefield, They did not understand to their deaths this kind of action of the volunteers.
