The Korean People's Army once had six divisions from Siye, so why was it that during the Korean War, the combat effectiveness was still not enough?

Before the volunteers entered the Korean War, the Korean People's Army was forced to retreat step by step by the powerful mechanized troops of the US army, and the flames of war fell on the Yalu River. The increasingly tense war situation made China decide to send volunteers to help the Korean People's Army repel U.S. troops in the face of a cold lip service. After the volunteer army entered the DPRK, the war situation was turned around in an instant, and the Chinese and DPRK troops and the United Nations forces led by the United States finally formed a confrontation near the 38th Line, and it was not until the two sides signed a ceasefire agreement that the Korean War was officially over.

Changes in the strength of the Korean People's Army

In the early days of the Korean War, six divisions of the Korean People's Army came from Siye, so why was the combat effectiveness still not good?

Before the outbreak of the Korean War, ethnic Korean soldiers in the Northeast Field Army gradually returned to Korea with equipment and became part of the combat force of the Korean People's Army, with a size of about 6 divisions. Shino's combat strength was superior, and Korean soldiers from Shino also became the main force in the early stage of the Korean War after joining the Korean People's Army. After the outbreak of the war, the fighting strength of the KPA crushed the US-ROK coalition forces and forced the US and ROK coalition forces to retreat into the Busan defense circle all the way south. But after MacArthur landed at Inchon, the KPA's superiority on the battlefield was greatly reversed.

In the face of the mighty US army, the Korean People's Army lost all the achievements of the southward campaign. After the US military won back a round, it even disregarded the thirty-eighth parallel divided with the Soviet Union and violently crossed the 38th parallel to carry out fierce air raids on North Korea. The Korean People's Army was gradually defeated and retreated under the suppression of the US military, from brave and mighty to vulnerable, and it was inconceivable that such a big change occurred just because of the US landing at Inchon. The Korean People's Army obviously had strong combat effectiveness in the early stages, so why did the combat effectiveness collapse so much in the back?

The reason for not keeping the fruits of victory

The strength of six divisions of the Korean People's Army comes from Siye, and according to the reason, the combat effectiveness should not be low, and as to why it will be beaten so badly by the US army, it is mainly a question of combat command. Kim Il Sung, after his brilliant victory in the south, was completely immersed in the joy of victory, believing that he could liberate the entire Korean Peninsula as long as he conquered Busan, but the change in the war situation was not as optimistic as he thought. When China reminded Kim Il-sung that U.S. troops might land at Inchon, Kim Il-sung believed that Incheon was deeply affected by the tides and that U.S. troops would never land from there, so he ignored Inchon's important strategic position.

When MacArthur decided to land at Inchon, he was also strongly opposed by others in the U.S. military, but in MacArthur's view, landing at Inchon could cut off the retreat of the Korean People's Army, and the U.S.-Rok coalition forces in the Pusan defense circle surrounded the Korean People's Army, even if there was a great danger in the Inchon landing. MacArthur was a militarily talented general who successfully commanded the Inchon landings, and when the U.S. troops landed at Inchon, they cut off the Korean People's Army's logistical supply and transportation lines.

The logistics of the Korean People's Army were not adequately supplied, the output of firepower declined rapidly, and the Korean People's Army, which was fighting alone, was eventually defeated step by step in an environment of being attacked by the enemy on its back. However, the us military's supplies were continuously transported from the sea to the front, and it was expected that the Korean People's Army would be suppressed by fierce aerial fire, and finally the fruits of victory would not be able to be defended.
