Why did the United States lose the Korean War? In fact, in the early 1950s, the U.S. army did not have the strength to defeat the volunteer army here, and although the early weapons of the volunteer army were not good, they had rich combat experience and strong willpower. General Military Staff Officer Peng's memoirs state that from the beginning of 1951, the first batch of 36 Soviet divisions of weapons were delivered.
Beginning in the second half of 1952, the Soviet Union began to assist the second batch of 60 divisions of weapons, the volunteers already had rapid improvement in weapons and combat experience, and even logistics, and had a million troops and large deep mountain tunnel positions. In June 1950, the U.S. Army actually had only 590,000 men, divided into 10 divisions.
Among them, there are 100,000 U.S. Army in the Far East, and after the outbreak of war, the U.S. Army has maintained the size of 7 divisions in Korea for a long time, which is already most of the cost of the U.S. Army. By 1952, U.S. troops here included 110,000 combat troops, as well as 90,000 logistical and non-combat troops.
About 260,000 people are already half of the total U.S. Army, and other U.S. troops are stationed in the United States and Europe. It was impossible to rely on 7 American divisions to break through the large depth of the volunteers' positions and launch a full-scale offensive campaign, but the volunteers still maintained a strong offensive capability.
In the Battle of Jincheng in 1953, the Volunteer Army dispatched 6 field armies at a time, and 1483 artillery pieces carried out annihilating blows against the Korean army on the front. By 1953, the strength of the Volunteer Army had reached 59 infantry divisions, 14 artillery divisions, and 2 tank divisions.
There are 10 railroad divisions, as well as 1.35 million troops such as the MiG fighter unit, and the MiG 15 fighter already controls the air supremacy in the northern part of the peninsula.
