Captured Chinese Soldiers beg for their lives thinking that they are going to be executed, Korea 1951.
During the Korean war Chinese PLA was morphed into People’s Volunteer Army that was made to be distinctly different than the PLA.
one interesting engagement I read about was the engagement/ Battle of Unsan, this was a unique engagement where US troops came face-to-face with Chinese troops. The Chinese army was weaker, less technology and less weapons. But something strange happened the Chinese came victorious out the battle.
The reason for this was the fact that UN forces(US) highly underrated the Chinese troops with one commander (US) quoting
“The enemy who is delaying you for the moment is nothing more than remnants of Chinese divisions fleeing north. We’re still attacking and we’re going all the way to the Yalu. Don’t let a bunch of Chinese laundrymen stop you.”
The Americans even after being accompanied by tanks and helicopters
I’m no big fan of Chinese and frankly I don’t like their expansionist policies as of late, but they did manage to do well in this battle!
