Chinese People's Volunteer Army

The Chinese People's Volunteer Army was the armed forces deployed by the People's Republic of China during the Korean War. Although all units in the Chinese People's Volunteer Army were actually transferred from the People's Liberation Army (the official name of the Chinese armed forces) under orders of the Chinese Communist Party, the People's Volunteer Army was separately constituted in order to prevent an official war with the United States.

The People's Volunteer Army entered Korea on October 19, 1950(the Chinese assault caught the UN troops by surprise, and employing great skill and remarkable camouflage ability) and completely withdrew by October 1958. During the Korean war, the troops succeeded in striking the UN army and pushed them back to the Southern part of th peninsular. Though suffering the lack of advanced weapons, they'd already proved their toughness through fighting bravely in a few bloody battles such as the Battle of Triangle Hill.

They managed to show their excellent battling skills by slowing down and even pushing back a massive group of troops from the US, the Commonwealth and France that were equipped with modern weapons and advanced air force, straightly commended by Douglas MacArthur. Therefore, they completely changed the impression of Chinese army troops from guerillas lack of practical skills to army of an emerging superpower.
