In 1953, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea came to an end. This year, experts from all over the world focused on an important issue: how the Chinese volunteers defeated the coalition forces of the United States and other powers on the Korean battlefield. Japan, in particular, a country that harbored a deep hatred for China during World War II, joined the research at this time and issued a shocking commentary. So, what did the Japanese experts say, and how did these words shake people's hearts?
Japan's Perspective During World War II, Japan slaughtered in China, viewing China as a weak adversary. In the eyes of the Japanese, they lost only because they provoked the United States, and they firmly believed that without this interference, Japan would have monopolized the hegemony of Asia. Views on the Korean Battlefield However, when Japanese experts witnessed the victory of the Volunteers on the Korean Battlefield, they could not help but sigh: "Fortunately, the Volunteers appeared late. "Why do you feel this way?The reason is that the Volunteer Army not only single-handedly faced the coalition forces of 17 countries, but also these countries were the world's great powers at that time. Despite the huge gap in equipment, the Volunteers still forced the coalition forces back to the 38th parallel. The Japanese army, as a military power in Asia at that time, could not help but be shocked by this. 
Inferior Equipment The Japanese army underwent a long period of rigorous training before starting a war. In the early days of the war, the volunteers lacked equipment, the quality of the use was low, and the living conditions were far less than those during the Japanese invasion of China. Therefore, Japanese experts were surprised that the volunteers dared to challenge the powerful American army from the beginning, and their evaluation of the final result of the war formed a strong contrast to Japan - how could an army that was inferior in all aspects achieve such a brilliant victory on the battlefield?The Japanese were initially skeptical of the Volunteers' achievements, perhaps because they believed that victory in the first battle might have been just an accident, a "coincidence". However, the Volunteer Army once again demonstrated its extraordinary strength in the ensuing battle, advancing all the way to the position of the 38th parallel. This alarmed both Japan and other countries, and began to reassess the tactics and combat effectiveness of the Volunteer Army. 
It is worth noting that in the Battle of Shangganling, the United Coalition gathered a huge number of troops and advanced equipment, and the density of artillery fire exceeded the highest level of World War II. However, despite the huge technical and numerical disadvantages, the volunteers still resisted bravely. Comparative data shows that the number of artillery shells fired by the US army is five times that of the volunteers, and the number of troops is even more than that. However, with its excellent tactics and tenacious perseverance, the Volunteer Army successfully repelled the attack of the United **, and this result made the world look sideways. Such a victory has greatly increased the global attention to the Volunteer Army, and many countries have begun to study the tactics of the Volunteer Army in an attempt to learn from it. Despite its relative backwardness in equipment and strength, the combat effectiveness of the Volunteer Army is impressive. This series of victories not only changed Japan's view of the Volunteer Army, but also made the world re-understand this seemingly unpromising army. 
Thinking that the soldiers in front of the position were significantly inferior to the United Nations in terms of equipment, firepower, materials, and personnel, the volunteers miraculously won the final victory, which showed the strong combat effectiveness of the volunteers. Such a result is almost unthinkable in any country, because the data in all respects are clearly inferior to the enemy's army. The Volunteers not only ushered in the final victory with a disadvantage, but also shocked the world with their military strength. The miracle of this battle surprised the Japanese side, and even many countries became extremely curious about the way the volunteers fought. Considering that the United Nations had absolute superiority in firepower, manpower, and material, but it ended in failure, one has to think about the question: what is the magic of the Volunteer Army that can defeat the enemy army at such a disadvantage?Such a result was difficult to even guarantee for Japan's own army, because the difference in firepower between the two sides was too great. In the Battle of Shangganling, many heroes showed extraordinary spirit, and this fighting spirit has even surpassed the Japanese bushido. Although Japan has cultivated the spirit of bushido, on the battlefield, this indomitable spirit of the volunteers showed itself even better. 
For the Japanese, fortunately, the Volunteer Army only appeared at the end of World War II, otherwise Japan would have faced great difficulties on the battlefield in China, and could even have caused civil unrest. The achievements of the Volunteer Army not only surprised Japan, but also made the world re-examine this underrated force. The Japanese view the Volunteer Army was much more than that. Although the Japanese army during the war considered itself to be strong, it was very unconvinced when faced with the Volunteer Army, which won every battle in unexpected ways. The Japanese army believed that there was a big gap between the command level of the Volunteer Army and the Japanese army, although the Japanese army had a strong individual ability. The advantage of the Volunteer Army is that they show a high level of military consciousness in every battle. In contrast, Japanese soldiers fought for their own interests to a large extent, and in the absence of any profit-driven situation, the combat effectiveness of Japanese soldiers was difficult to compare with that of the Volunteer Army. The Volunteer Army far surpassed the Japanese army in terms of discipline, which made the Volunteer Army perform even better on the battlefield. 
At the end of the war, the Japanese were surprised that the Volunteer Army was able to achieve victory without air supremacy. Compared with the absolute air superiority of the US military, the volunteers lacked aerial reconnaissance and did not have the convenience of obtaining intelligence as the US military, but they were still able to achieve victory under the nose of the US military. On the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese relied on air and ground firepower superiority, while the American army also had absolute superiority in the Korean theater, but the Volunteer Army was still able to achieve victory under these disadvantages. Japan was skeptical of this, and even began to speculate whether the United States was releasing water or the volunteer army was too strong. All this is due to the heroic performance of the volunteer soldiers on the battlefield, they fought to the death and were not afraid of sacrifice, and it is precisely because of their existence that today's peaceful environment has been exchanged. The presence of the Volunteer Army terrified the enemy army, while also raising its international standing, making it one of the most formidable nations in the world.
