The Korean War has been armistice for 60 years, but what are the casualties in various countries? Let's count the casualty reports of various countries:

Chinese People's Volunteers

From the 1950 war to the armistice on July 27th 1953, more than 383,000 people were killed in Chinese people's Volunteer Army 1 14000, and more than 383,000 people were wounded in combat and non-combat, of which 265,438 died after being rescued.

?

In addition to casualties, more than 29,000 volunteers are missing. Among the missing persons, in addition to 2 1400 in the U.S. prison camp, there are more than 8,000 people whose whereabouts are unknown. It is estimated that most of them have died in the battlefield or been captured.

So what is certain is that, with the disappearance, Chinese people's Volunteer Army lost more than 390,000 people in the whole War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. In addition to combat losses, the hospital also treated more than 450,000 sick and hospitalized soldiers and civilians, among whom13,000 people died. Including those who died in battle, those who died of injuries and those who were estimated to have died after missing, the number of soldiers and civilians who died for various reasons in the whole War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was about1560,000. This is a case.

In the Korean War, there were not many casualties of Korean troops in the early stage, mainly in the middle and late stage. Because the front line drawn by China army on the battlefield is too long in the middle and late period, there is a big problem in logistics supply. Some soldiers wear light clothes to work with Americans. If the logistics had kept up, the United States might have gone to sea. At that time, after China attacked the 38th parallel, he found that his logistics supplies could not keep up, and the troops could not organize the attack, which made the Americans breathe a sigh of relief. Immediately change tactics and launch a counterattack against China's army. The guns of the two sides are also very different. Although the Soviet Union provided weapons and equipment of 10 divisions for free at that time, the overall firepower was too different from that of the US military. The disparity in the number of planes, artillery and tanks has caused a large number of casualties among the soldiers and civilians in China, which is one of the main reasons for the large number of casualties.

Coupled with the casualties and missing persons of the Korean People's Army, the Chinese and Korean armed forces paid the price of more than 628,000 soldiers. During the war, China's army consumed 5.6 million tons of various materials, including 250,000 tons of ammunition and 6.2 billion yuan of war funds. China army * * * damaged 9 tanks, 23 planes1frame, 437 guns1door and 87,559 guns.

Among the hundreds of thousands of martyrs, there are 3 military cadres, 10 cadres above division level and more than 200 regiments. Among the martyrs, there were Yang Gensi who rushed to the enemy line with explosives and died with the enemy, Huang Jiguang who had his chest stuck in the loophole and turned his back and died with the enemy, Wu, a first-class blasting hero who got up and killed the enemy after being injured by his comrades, Xu Jiapeng who died after his legs were injured, Sun Zhanyuan who fired grenades at the enemy, Qiu who was lying in a sea of fire, enduring severe pain and maintaining potential discipline, and Qiu who bravely and persistently repaired the bridge to protect it.

Hundreds of thousands of volunteers who died in North China came from all corners of the Korean people. Among them, Beijing 1 438, Tianjin 977, Hebei 10, 155, Shanxi 5835, Inner Mongolia 1 683, Liaoning13,374 and Jilin 65438+. Shanghai 1 634, Jiangsu 7268, Anhui 4 15 1 person, Zhejiang 3732, Jiangxi 2 162, Fujian 982 and Henan10,673. Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region 29 15, Shaanxi Province 2802, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region 46 1, Gansu Province 1, Qinghai Province 48, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region 6 1, Sichuan Province 30789 and Guizhou Province 2799.

The figures of the United Nations Army are quite different from those of China and North Korea, which are inconsistent:

1953,101On October 23rd, the Associated Press released a figure, saying that the total number of casualties and missing/captured United Nations troops was 1474269, of which the number of casualties and missing American troops was 144360.

1957, General Lyman La Niesel, commander of the 7th Infantry Division of the United States in the Korean War, and later commander of the Far East Theater of the United States, chief of staff of the United States Army and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, agreed with this statement in Seoul. However, South Korea later claimed that this figure included civilian casualties.

Total number of casualties, missing and captured on American Korean War Monument: US Army 172847 United Nations Army 2256523 Total number: 2429370. 54,246 Americans and 628,833 United Nations soldiers were killed. This figure is much larger than that published by the Associated Press 1956. ?

According to the data released by the Associated Press on 1956, the total number of missing and captured American casualties is142000 (142091), and the number of American and United Nations casualties is 1480 (1474269). ?

Total number of casualties, missing and captured shown on the American Korean War Monument: US Army 172847 United Nations Army 2256523 Total: 2429370. ?

Killed: 54,246 Americans and 628,833 United Nations troops, total: 683,079; ?

Missing: US Army 8 177 United Nations Army 470267 Total: 478444; ?

Captured: US Army 7 140 United Nations Army 92970 Total:10010; ?

Injured: US Army 103284 United Nations Army 1064453 Total: 1 16773. ?

During the war, the US military consumed more than 75 million tons of war materials, which was 13 times that of our army, including 330 tons of ammunition, which was 13 times that of our army; The cost of the war is $20 billion, eight times that of China's army. This cost is second only to the consumption of the United States in World War II. He is indeed the richest man in the world, generous, rich and extravagant. It's also wasteful.

The figures of war losses reported by the South Korean army are the most puzzling:

According to figures released by the Associated Press, South Korea lost1312,836 people, including 465,438 killed, 425,868 disabled, 459,428 missing and 65,438 captured.

The Korean War History published by the War History Compilation Committee of the Ministry of National Defense of South Korea 1976 claims that the number of casualties and missing/captured United Nations troops is 1, 168, 160. The South Korean army lost more than 984,400 people, including 227,800 killed, 765,438 injured+076,540 missing.

This figure is not far from the number estimated by China and North Korea to kill Han Jun.. However, another message from South Korea claimed that this included the number of civilian casualties.

Senior Colonel Yan Xu, a professor at the National Defense University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, believes that the minimum number of military casualties admitted by the ROK is about 300,000, and the number of missing people exceeds 654.38+10,000. Of the missing persons, only 7,800 were repatriated as prisoners of war.

During the war, the Korean army fell into overall chaos many times, and the statistics were very watery. Although the number of American troops has also changed, it is still relatively consistent.

According to the statistics of the United States in recent years, during the whole war, 33,629 Americans were killed, more than 20,600 others were killed, 3746 people were repatriated after being captured, and 8 142 people were unaccounted for, so it is estimated that they should be classified as deaths. * * * The total loss exceeds169,300.

Senior Colonel Yan Xu, an expert in war history and a professor at the National Defense University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, believes that this statistic of the US military is more reliable than that of the South Korean military. According to the national system of the United States, it is unlikely that there will be a big error in the death toll. Otherwise, if someone fails to list the names of the dead and carve commemorative cards for American soldiers killed in the Korean War, then the families of the dead will definitely toss and turn, and the uproar caused by the media will make the US government extremely embarrassed.

Summarizing from several aspects, the lowest personnel loss statistics confirmed by the United Nations Army during the whole Korean War were: the loss of United Nations personnel was more than 580,000. In this figure, it is estimated that the losses caused by China's army account for more than two thirds, or more than 380,000 people.

North Korea:

2 15000 was killed

303,000 people were injured

10 1 000 is missing or captured.
