This Kind of War by T.R. FehrenbachThe Chinese infiltrators had success, T. R. Fehrenbach explains (in This Kind of War), with some unorthodox tactics:

But after nightfall, flares soared high all around the southern rim of Chipyong-ni, and the brassy noise of bugles beat on the defender’s ears. Chinese began to infiltrate over the low hills, carrying pole and satchel charges. They poured into George Company, killing many men by dropping explosives in the foxholes.

    Some discussion out there that the Chinese are weak in innovating regarding technical matters. But historically, they seem plenty innovative in martial matters.

    Many people are clever at zero sum games such as war. Few are clever at making the world better.

    Does that appear in IQ tests?

    “Some discussion out there that the Chinese are weak in innovating regarding technical matters.”

    I think the most intelligent position is that no one is stupid.
