MacArthur once said to Li Chengwan who accompanied him, "God arranged for Americans to be winners. Asians can't beat Americans. Maybe Asians have short legs. " He forgot that Li Chengwan is also an Asian. Li Chengwan said the two short legs twitched.
He disdains China soldiers: "China people are Asians' thinking, and they are cowards. If they dare to cross the river, I will blow them up by plane. I think they should think that the opponent is the United States and the commander is General MacArthur. "
In MacArthur's eyes, China people are essentially low, servile, timid, cowardly and selfish, in all aspects of intelligence, spirit, physique and mind. When every yellow-faced China person faces westerners, he is burdened with this innate judgment that is branded by the fate of such a nation-state, and all efforts to separate himself from the nation are ridiculous.
For the first time in hundreds of years, the black birthmark was erased for everyone in China. It was those volunteers who despised everything and dared to go forward. It was they who proved that MacArthur, who knew the orientals, did not know the orientals. They used simple weapons, including the cover of the 38th parallel, to drive the victors of World War II and the armed American troops all the way across the 38th parallel.
This is the summary of the volunteers to the American troops under Mai Shuaige afterwards: "When American soldiers are cut off at the back road, they will throw away all heavy weapons, throw them around and pretend to be dead. Their infantry lacks fighting capacity, is timid and afraid of death, and has no courage to attack and defend. If they hear gunshots when they are moving forward, they will shrink back. They can only fight during the day. They are not used to night fighting and hand-to-hand combat. If they are defeated, they will run away. If they have no artillery support, they will be at a loss. As soon as the supply stopped, the infantry completely lost its fighting spirit. "
Li Qiwei, who later succeeded Mai Shuai, who was fired by Truman, admitted: "If we didn't have strong firepower and often got close air support and firmly controlled the sea area, the China people might have defeated us."
Later, in the 1960s, when China and China exchanged fire in the Himalayas, the handsome General MacArthur famously said, "Whoever wants to fight the Indian army is simply sick!" This shows that Mai Shuai's world outlook has changed in practice.
