In the battle of Kapyong, in the Korean War, Chinese soldiers attacked Australian and Canadian dug-in entrenched location with interlocking fire. The Chinese outnumbered the Australians and Canadians 10:1. Incredibly, the Chinese attacked in waves while not applying freindly fire support from artillery and mortars, when running into the interlocking Australian and Canadian fire. It appears that when invading Korea, the PLA did not include artillery units with their soldiers. Additionally, scything down the Chinese was accurate supporting battery fire to the Australians and Canadians from New Zeland artillery units. In the attack which lasted all night, only one Australian trench was taken, which was later regained when the Chinese retreated, yes retreated. In fighting the Korean War the Chinese did not deploy modern and professional methods in attacking some of the best trained military professionals having extensive World War 2 battlefield experience, and consequently their casualties were very high and the true casualty figures were supressed by the CCP. The modern PLA mentality is the same; stupidity push their poorly trained soldiers into a meat grinder than banally claim martyrs success. I'm amazed that such a base exploitative system has lasted the test of time.
