China sent troops to Korea and fought the war against the U.S., out of national interest. After the war, the opponent is also the defeated generals to evaluate China in this way:
1, the U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Bradley commented on the Korean War: "in the wrong time, the wrong place, with the wrong opponent to fight a wrong war."
2. MacArthur, the first commander of the United Nations Army and a five-star general of the United States, commented on the Chinese People's Volunteers, saying: The Chinese army often avoids the main roads and utilizes the mountains and hills as the approach roads, and it always inserts itself into the depth of my attack. They always thrust themselves into my depths to launch attacks. The weapons in the hands of its infantrymen are utilized more skillfully and fully than ours. The enemy troops are accustomed to moving and fighting at night. The enemy infantry is well trained and adequately equipped with small arms and light equipment, but has almost no air force to play a supporting role and is particularly deficient in artillery, anti-aircraft guns, transportation and traffic equipment.
3. The second commander of the United Nations Army, Li Qiwei, commented on the Volunteers: "The Chinese attacked at night in a particularly mysterious and unpredictable manner. The Chinese troops concealed their movements very effectively. Every soldier on the mission was self-sufficient, carrying dry rations of rice, beans and corn, and enough ammunition for light weapons to last four or five days. The enemy, with the characteristic tenacity of the Orient, endeavored to fortify their works in the hills. The Chinese were warriors and often attacked without regard for casualties.
4. Li Qiwei compared the South Korean army with the volunteer army: "The South Korean army lacked competent leadership, they had suffered heavy losses under the blows of the Chinese army, and tended to have a very great fear of the Chinese army, and almost regarded these men as heavenly soldiers. Soldiers with rubber-soled shoes, if they suddenly appeared on the positions of the south Korean army, always scared many south Korean soldiers so much that they fled for their lives as fast as they could without looking back. They were in no order, threw away their weapons, had no leader and were in complete and total defeat. They had only one thought - to flee as far away from the Chinese army as possible."
5. Li Qiwei compared the U.S. Army with the Volunteer Army: the (U.S.) troops were unwilling to give up certain material comforts, were afraid to leave the few highways, were unwilling to carry out their movements without radio and telephone contact, and, in addition, were overly simple-minded in fighting the enemy. This force is so dependent on the highway that it does not attach importance to the capture of high ground along the way, is unfamiliar with the terrain and its rare utilization, is unwilling to leave behind the automobile, which has caused heavy casualties among the troops, and replace it with the foot, and is unwilling to penetrate deep into the mountainous terrain and jungles to fight in the enemy's quarters.
6. Van Fleet, commander of the U.S. Eighth Army, commented on the Volunteers, "Personally, the Chinese soldier is a tenacious foe. They have no bulletproof undershirts, no steel helmets. They wore only uniforms, caps, and stepped into a pair of canvas shoes. They carried rifles, belted on their hips with two-hundred-grain bullets. They carried several poorly made grenades, and food, made from rice and mixed grains ground into powder and packed in a long tubular bag, lasted for ten days if necessary. The Chinese army's medical equipment is rudimentary, and in no way comparable to our medical teams, front-line ambulance stations, and well-established rear hospitals. But they are ever forward fighting and defiant, sometimes even penetrating behind our lines and leaving us helpless."
7. U.S. Secretary of Defense Marshall commented that the Chinese **** Army was a ghost, not even a shadow. The **** Army has no mechanized troops, so it has to skillfully implement foot infiltration and circuitous encirclement operations. The enemy's actions were more insidious than our intentions.
8, the former "United Nations Army" French General Hill said: I think nowadays, some people, including many Chinese, their views on the Korean War (Korean War) is simply nonsense. They simply don't understand who we were up against. "During the winter campaign on the Yalu River, my troops suffered heavy losses in one battle, and what I saw in the eyes of my soldiers was not anger, but fear!"
9, the U.S. "Anskeleton Research Laboratory" chief researcher Royce Frank commented: the North Korean battlefield of the Chinese **** army, in addition to military equipment is inferior to the U.S. coalition forces, and the other regardless of the fighting spirit, courage, are the U.S. inconceivable high ...... At that time, the Chinese **** army can be said to be no matter which of them can be in the A position, solo allied forces all the way. And the Allied forces, except for the U.S. Army, all the other troops were defeated at the touch of a button.
10, a West Point faculty member commented: to realize that the U.S. Army units participating in the Korean War are not idle trip. The U.S. eight army, the first division of the army, riding a division is the U.S. army in the resounding ace army, always winning army. Officers and soldiers have just fought in World War II, rich in combat experience. Equipped with the world's newest tanks, artillery and all kinds of light and heavy weapons. And has absolute air and sea control. In addition to the first battle was caught off guard, there is really no other excuse to find. The U.S. Army repeatedly lost the Korean War, not only in the early part of the campaign when they suffered a surprise attack, but also in the middle and late part of the battle between the two armies in the attack and defense of the fewer wins and more losses. One can only come to the very uncomfortable conclusion that the superiorly equipped U.S. Army did not perform as well as the Chinese Army on the battlefield.
11. Former U.S. Army General Michael Allen said: Only a fool chooses China as a rival.
