introduction
To fight a war, there must be an army. Of course, whether or not you can win a battle depends on the army. But on the battlefield, there is such an army, they are on the battlefield to be funny, they are the Turkish brigade.
The Turkish Brigade was an infantry force sent by the Turkish government to support the United States in the Korean War. This army is relatively powerful in the United Nations army, but on the battlefield, it has repeatedly made jokes.
1. Turkish Brigade
In 1950, the Korean War broke out on the Korean Peninsula. In the early stage, in the face of a strong attack by the United States, the North Korean side was obviously at a disadvantage. So in the later period, North Korea asked the mainland for help. In order to help the Korean people get out of their predicament and to protect the security around the mainland, the mainland sent volunteer troops to resist the United States and aid Korea.
The Turkish Brigade, also during this period, landed on the Korean Peninsula to help the United States fight against the Chinese Volunteers.
This Turkish brigade has a unique weapon, in addition to guns, they also have their own cold weapons - Turkish machetes. Can you imagine how vivid their machetes are to compete with guns and shells as a relatively good army?
In addition, they carry musical instruments with them, and they may improvise a concert at any time when time permits and when they are in a good mood. Originally it was a solemn battlefield, everyone was fighting with their lives, their minds were full of life and death plans, who cares about singing and dancing? But they can take care of it.
I have to say that this army is really very novel. No wonder it became the news selling point at the time, which was really eye-catching.
2. The "Oolong" incident occurred in the Turkish brigade
The purpose of the Turkish brigade was to help the United States fight against the Chinese volunteers and help them win the Korean War. Soon after they arrived on the battlefield of the Korean War, the United States heard the news of their great victory. The U.S. military was overjoyed, but soon couldn't laugh.
It turned out that their so-called "Chinese prisoners" were actually their own friend, the South Koreans. To put it bluntly, one's own people have captured one's own people. This kind of error should be said to be the lowest level of error. What is confusing is why this is happening?
First of all, they are not natives, so it is difficult to distinguish between Chinese and Koreans. Nor do they have time to learn discernment.
Second, they could neither speak English nor Korean, and the intelligence of the U.S. military did not arrive in time, so they mistakenly regarded the South Koreans as Chinese volunteers.
Thinking that it was a joyous victory, who knew that such a big joke was made. This kind of thing can't help but make people sigh: this army is really cute.
epilogue
I thought it was a big victory, but I didn't expect an acute reversal. As a human being, I always have a little curiosity. I wonder what the Turkish Brigade thought when it learned that it had captured its friendly forces.
After all, this was the hundreds of "captives" they had worked so hard to capture!
