How did the United States evaluate China during the Korean War?

China sent troops to Korea to start the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, out of consideration of national interests. After the war, the opponent was also defeated by his men, saying this about China:

1. bradley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said this about the Korean War: "Fighting the wrong war with the wrong opponent at the wrong time and place."

2. MacArthur, the first commander of the "United Nations Army", a world war II star and a five-star general of the United States, commented on Chinese people's Volunteer Army: China's troops often avoid the main roads and use mountains and hills as the approach roads, and they always insert themselves into my depth to launch attacks. The weapons in the hands of its infantry are more skilled and sufficient than ours. The enemy is used to moving and fighting at night. The enemy infantry is well trained and equipped with small arms and light equipment, but there is almost no air force to support it, and artillery, anti-aircraft guns, transportation and traffic equipment are particularly lacking.

3. Li Qiwei, the second commander of the "United Nations Army", commented on the volunteers in this way: China's attack at night is particularly mysterious and incredible. China troops effectively concealed their actions. Every soldier can be self-sufficient, carrying dry food made of rice, beans and corn and enough light weapons and ammunition, so he can last for four or five days. The enemy struggled to strengthen their fortifications on the mountain with the tenacious spirit peculiar to the orientals. China people are warriors, and they often attack regardless of casualties.

4. Li Qiwei compared the South Korean army with the Volunteers: "The South Korean army lacks effective leadership, and they suffered heavy losses under the attack of the China army. They often have a great fear of the China army, and almost regard these people as heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals. If soldiers with rubber shoes suddenly appear in the position of the South Korean army, many South Korean soldiers are always scared to run for their lives without looking back. They have no order, no weapons, no leadership, and they are completely defeated. They only have one thought-the farther away from the China army, the better. "

5. Li Qiwei compared the U.S. military with the volunteers: the troops are unwilling to give up some material comforts, afraid to leave a few highways, unwilling to carry out sports without radio and telephone contact, and in addition, they are too simple-minded when fighting the enemy. This unit is so dependent on the highway that it doesn't pay attention to occupying the highlands along the way. It is unfamiliar with the terrain and rarely uses it. It doesn't want to walk instead of cars that cause heavy casualties to the troops, and it doesn't want to go deep into the mountains and jungles to fight in the enemy's quarters.

6. Van Fritt, commander of the Eighth Army of the United States, commented on the volunteers: "Personally, China soldiers are a tenacious enemy. They don't have bulletproof vests or helmets. They only put on military uniforms, caps and sneakers. They were carrying rifles and belts with 2 bullet rounds. They carry several hand grenades with poor quality. The grain is ground into powder from rice and miscellaneous grains and packed in a long tubular cloth bag, which can last for more than ten days if necessary. China's military medical equipment is crude, and it can never be compared with our medical team, front-line ambulance station and perfect rear hospitals. However, they will always fight forward, desperate, and sometimes even penetrate behind our defense lines, leaving us helpless. "

7. US Secretary of Defense Marshall commented that China's army is a ghost, and there is not even a shadow. * * * Army has no mechanized troops, so it has to skillfully implement infiltration on foot and outflank. The enemy's actions are more hidden than our intentions.

8. French General Hill, a former "United Nations Army", said: I think that at present, some people, including many South Koreans, are simply talking nonsense about the Korean War. They had no idea who we were up against. "In the winter battle of Yalu River, my troops suffered heavy losses after one battle. What I saw from the soldiers' eyes was not anger, but fear!"

9. Robus Frank, the chief researcher of Anskaiton Research Laboratory in the United States, commented: Except for the military equipment, the Chinese * * * troops on the battlefield in North Korea were not as good as the American Coalition forces, but the fighting spirit and courage of others were unimaginable in the United States ... At that time, it could be said that any Chinese * * * troops could stand alone in the same position. The allied forces, except the American army, are all on the verge of collapse.

1. A teacher of West Point Military Academy commented: You should know that American troops participating in the Korean War are not idle trips. The US Eighth Army, the First Marine Division and the First Riding Division are all famous ace troops and Chang Shengjun in the US military. The officers and men have just fought World War II and are rich in actual combat experience. Equipped with the world's latest tanks, artillery and various light and heavy weapons. And has absolute air and sea control rights. There is really no other excuse except that the first battle was caught off guard. The U.S. military repeatedly lost in the Korean War, not only in the early stage of the campaign, but also in the attack and defense between the two armies in the middle and late stage. We can only draw a very uncomfortable conclusion: the US military with superior equipment is not as good as China's army on the battlefield.

11. Former US Army General Michael Allen said: Only a fool would choose China as his opponent.
