  1. Over 250,000 losses, thats a quarter of a million losses during the korean war by the PLA and the CCP let that sink in a bit. Edit Apparently the CCP does not like to look bad when it comes to its military strength so there is a disagreement between official CCP records of losses and contemporary 1958 western records of the PLA losses. Officially the CCP says 390,000 that is including all KIA, MIA/POW, WIA and lived, WIA and died, and any that died from sickness disease, and starvation. Now contempary records from that era place the number at 400,000 thats just KIA, an additional figure of 486,000 were said to be wounded. If true and thease statistics were treated like the CCP's accounting all the above criterion as "casualties" then the PLA sufferd a whopping 846,000 losses in the span of 3 years. Now Idk if thats true, idk who is more correct but both sides agree that well over 3 million PLA personnel were deployed to cross the yalu river by the CCP. The stalmate that exists today on the korean mainland was paved for by PLA soliders who employed a tactic of overwhelming sheer numbers to achieve their goal, and boy they achieved it alright. Thank you for reading this all to the end.
