1,000 Philippine Troops vs 40,000 Troops! Battle of Yultong! - Royal Marine Reacts

[@eventfulnonsense]

I had the honour to meet one Yultong Veteran way back in the 80s. His last name is Suzon, and he worked as a security in a hospital.

[@isseyslick1581]

Watch "March of the Valiant" documentary, its a good watch for this specific war 10th BCT perspective. The survivors telling the story, great edit

[@juliusjohnsasing1937]

Luke there's a documentary for this and the title is "The March of Valiant, Philippine Combat Teams off to Korea"

[@ericdanielsias6734]

My father was one of them who defended Korea in the Battle of Yultong wherein he was a light armored tank gunner. This is the only contingent that was left fighting against the chinese. He came home safe and told stories about how chinese soldiers shoot.

[@homunculi0408]

My favourite wartime story from my country is Nieves Fernandez, who was a school teacher befor WW2, but when the Japanese came, she took up arms and become a Guriella leader fighting them. She'd later earn the title of The Silent Killer.

[@timothy-fq9cc]

I was born in Korea. I am also half American. I know about this battle as I'm a history freak with a Sociology degree. I was shocked wen I was at a Philippine's Mall a young Filipino man told me about this battle. I am married to a Filipina and live here. I was at one time, served in the U.S. Army. These are a great fun loving people!!

In 1950, China's GDP was 4% of that of the United States. In the three years of the Korean War, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army entered the Korean War with 1.9 million troops and nearly 500000 additional troops, totaling 2.4 million (only the army, 225 tanks). Check how much military force the United States invested in the Korean War. During the three-year Korean War, the United States entered Korea with 1.796 million participants. The United States has deployed a total of 1153000 Army personnel (1823 tanks), 241000 Air Force personnel (a total of 3000 combat aircraft, with over 1700 deployed on the battlefield), 130000 Marine Corps personnel, and 265000 Navy personnel (210 warships). These combat figures do not include the United Nations forces. The entire Korean War: China sacrificed 183108 people and injured 383218 people. US military: 54246 deaths and 103248 injured. 628833 UN troops died and 1064453 UN troops were injured.

[@crimsonfloof6189]

I know this is a bit late but here what i manged to dig up They faced 40,000 Chinese soldiers with only rifles, machine guns, mortars and howitzers to stop the enemy. They also have 2 light tanks, a few bazookas which didn’t work and not of all them had winter clothing. The communist attack was so overwhelming that the British and the Puerto Ricans retreated but the Filipinos stayed and kept fighting. They were greatly outnumbered 40 to 1 so the clerks, drivers and cooks joined the fight. They held the line, preventing the Chinese to take more land from Korea. The Chinese army lost 7,000 troops while the Filipinos lost 24 with 26 more wounded. When the Americans came there were a lot of littered clothing all over the area. An American officer asked a Filipino machine gunner what those “rags” were. He replied, “Those are dead Reds, sir”.

[@Mariano5301]

The five Battalion Combat Teams (BCT's) numbered 7,420 officers and men in a span of five years from Sep 1950 to 1955. Casualties were 112 KIA's, 299 WIA's and 15 MIA"s. The Filipinos had to be ordered by the AFP to return to the Philippines as they wanted to FINISH the Korean War.

[@conradcg]

My cousin was with the PEFTOK 10th BCT as a machine-gun squad leader and survived the battle of Yultong. He told me the story of his men killed while defending their position with multiple dead Chinese bodies in front of their foxholes. He stayed as he defended a lower hill section with less action. He told me he could hear men screaming and the whistle of the Chinese soldiers during the battle. He was tearing up when he told the story.

[@LA.20]

@17:56 Our Military is basically modeled after the US since we are essentially been under their rule with our defeat on Filipino-American war. We have our Army, Navy and its Marines, Airforce, and Coastguard. And each branches have their SOF teams, Army has the Special Forces - Airborne and Scout Rangers. The Marines and Navy have Force Recon Battalion which is now known as Marine Special Operations Group and Naval Operations Command which has different Navy Seal Teams. Finally the Coast Guard have the Coast Guard Special Operations Forces. As for Militia type forces we have CAFGU or Citizens Armed Forces Geographical Unit. But as of recent they are also integrated to regular Army units or are being supervised by them.

The Filipino said that in the Korean War, the Philippines defeated the Chinese Volunteer Army in a ratio of 1,000 to 40,000. This is absurd and illogical (why Filipinos have this lie, I will analyze it later). During the three years of the Korean War, the Philippines sent a total of 8,000 people to North Korea, only fighting a small-scale battle. During the entire Korean War, 112 Filipinos were killed and 356 were captured. If the Filipinos had such a strong fighting power, they would have been used as cannon fodder by the United States, instead of just participating in one battle. (The United States cherishes the lives of American soldiers very much). Refer to the number of U.S. troops entering the DPRK and the number of casualties.

[@harryordfyeah8622]

For context: The Chinese had several supply problems during this phase of the Korean War. Mao insisted General Peng Dehuai force UN forces out of South Korea a month before Peng was ready. (To kick them out ASAP before talks begin). Many of the more experienced Chinese PLA soldiers had already been killed or rotated out by this time. While most of the supplies had not yet arrived. UN forces also had air superiority, so many Chinese trucks and depots were bombed before they arrived at the front lines. So the average PLA soldier went into battle with less ammo, gear and sometimes not even a gun. These factors contributed to tens of thousands of Chinese killed during the overall Chinese Spring Offensive (which consisted of multiple tense battles including this one). In contrast, the Filipino soldiers were already battle hardened from WW2 and many soldiers received extra training in the USA. So by the time the Korean War started, they were ready. As the Chinese Spring Offensive was expected, they were better supplied per man and constructed defenses. You can read "Honor and Fidelity: The 65th Infantry in Korea, 1950-1953" and Xiaobing Li's "China's Battle for Korea" about the 1951 Chinese Spring Offensive of the Korean War.

As a Filipino, I feel proud of my country for the many brave soldiers it has created over the centuries. From rebellion against oppression, to waging guerrilla warfare against invaders, and even our modern battle against terrorism, we've faced many battles and hardships. If I'm correct, General Macarthur himself said: "Give me 10,000 Filipinos and I shall conquer the world.", a testament to how brave and committed to their cause Filipino soldiers are.

[@celsladroma8048]

It seems perplexing that Filipinos, often perceived as lacking sufficient knowledge, proper training, and a clear understanding of the situations they face, can still rise to the challenges of war. Despite these apparent shortcomings, war is war-inescapable and unforgiving-and death is an inevitable consequence. Yet, against all odds, Filipinos have demonstrated an almost mythical resilience, elevating themselves to an immortal level in the art of war. What’s truly remarkable is that they achieve this without any tangible evidence or detailed explanation of how they do it. Their ingenuity, adaptability, and unyielding spirit defy conventional expectations, making their success in warfare a phenomenon that remains as mysterious as it is awe-inspiring.

[@LA.20]

@11:53 yes, it is snowing and according to March of the Valiant documentary, it is the coldest winter ever recorded for decades back then.

[@justinkenneth]

Yes, and according to the same documentary, the original commander of the 10th BCT was relieved when he held out for winter clothing for his men to fight in, kind of like the same situation as Easy Company in Band of Brothers in the Battle of the Bulge, but men were desperately needed at the front. These were men from the tropics, fighting in the coldest weather in Korea in decades in insufficient/non-existent winter garb.

[@Mariano5301]

Col. Mariano Azurin was pronounced persona non grata at the U.S. Eighth Army for picking a fight on several issues: a) 8th Army wanted to make the 10th BCT soldiers into personneĺ replacements/fillers, meaning to dissolve the unit; b) The tanks of the lone armor company of the 10th BCT were given to front-line units and replaced with lighter versions; c) Many American officers in the 8th Army HQ were derogatory towards the Filipinos. The Filipinos remember COWARDLY behavior of Americans in Bataan and Corregidor and wanted to prove themselves in COMBAT without the hindrance of American soldiers within their unit. A BIG FACTOR is COMBAT INTUITION or SIXTH SENSE which Filipinos possess after acclimatization to deadly combat.

[@itsfreyabruh]

I'm a Filipino and also ashamed to say that I wasn't aware we were part of The Battle of Yultong. I wasn't even aware we were sending out troops to help. None of this was never mentioned in our history textbooks in elementary or in high school. I'm glad to be learning with you. 🖤

[@WallNutBreaker524]

Are you under a rock? PEFTOK wasn't taught in schools? The veteran's cap worn by Fidel Ramos didn't tickle your curiosity? The South Korean banners that mention their gratitude when they send us aid teams during natural disasters went unnoticed? It's a bit hard to believe... Next you're going to say that you didn't know that the Philippines was a founder member of the UN (one of the original 51 countries) or that we haven't had a Filipino UN Secretary General. Or maybe you didn't know that during the 50s-60s, we had the largest Naval force in SE and East Asia... Maybe you didn't know that we dominated Asian basketball through the 40s and 50s, why the sport is so popular today... Or maybe you didn't know that before Messi, a Filipino held the club goal records for Barcelona FC...

[@peterlucas3498]

The Philippines sent PhilCag Battalion to Vietnam, and send Peftok to South Korea.

[@FebAlexeisDelasAlas-b5x]

I think most Pinoy soldiers in the 10th BCT are former guerilla forces absorbed into the Philippine army, forming the Philippine Scout Rangers that specialize in guerilla fighting styles and close quarter shootouts. And most of them fought in the South East Asian WWII theatre.

[@ericdanielsias6734]

They are not guerilla forces they are regular forces in the Philippine Army wherein the UN requested them to Korea. My father was one of them, a light armored tank gunner.

[@pacgotrobbed]

There is a video of the most recent war that the Philippines fought. The title is battle of marawi but I guess that video was restricted or removed because it was captured using a gopro during the actual war.

[@Amalgam182]

The Korean War is knowned as the Forgotten War, because it was overshadowed by the much more larger war "Vietnam War". Also it has a limited media coverage

[@_Shadow_1-6]

I just want to give a little bit context here. Filipino soldiers are master of jungle and guerilla warfare but they fought in Korean in winter I think it's -15° with heavy snow if I am correct and 10th bct is supposed to be an armored unit but they turn into heavy weaponry unit because of lack of armored vehicles but they have dozen of trucks and an m24 chaffee I mean if you consider that an armored unit it's fine.

[@richardmiller7018]

The movie Pork Chop Hill is about a battle during the Korean War. Another War movie you might like is Merrill's Marauders witch took place in Burma in 1944.

You should also look in how the Filipino forces under the United Nation in Golan heights did, when their Indian counterpart ans commander order the Filipino to surrender and give their arms to ISIS, they called their commander in the Philippines and was advise to fight on, not surrender and do a temporary withdrawal from their position.

For the recent event in South Korea, the President issued Martial Law there, citing that there were Pro North Korean individuals in their government and actually had the military block off their National Assembly (Equivalent to the House of Commons) building to prevent Representatives from coming in and voting against Martial Law, but surprisingly enough representatives made it to vote against Martial Law, and 6 hours later, he lifted his Martial Law declaration. Some say it's an effort to cement his power because the current president is very unpopular

[@arkandrada3305]

Filipino soldiers almost always never surrender… As UN Peacekeepers in 2014 in the Golan Heights was another example…

[@user-sj1kn8wh6o]

Because Filipinos should never be underestimated. They don’t want war, ever! But you forced them in the battle, they will be victorious.

[@restartersalphafoxtrotecho1806]

Korea news was that Korea declared martial law which means that the military is basically the government(president, vp, secretary and so on) until the actual president/prime Minister dismisses it

[@HakemzOfficial]

And it just makes me sad that *most* (not all) of the S. Koreans ignored the helping hand who sacrificed themselves for their country and even discredited the Philippines off on their history. Not just the Philippines but also other helping hands like Turkey, Australia, Thailand, the UK, etc. who also sacrificed themselves in that battle. Because for me, sacrificing your life for one's blood is not a joke that only deserves a plaque or any medals that will soon be forgotten. But instead, it deserves to be known forever. Also, the main thing that makes me cry is the fact that the Philippines national anthem's last line is- ""Aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi, ang mamatay ng dahil sayo."" *which means* (Our greatest joy, when faced with oppression, is to die for you.) Which is supposed to be for the Filipinos when protecting themselves from aggressors, and yet, they did it for another country..

What happened in Korea was that The South Korean President declare an "unconstitutional" Martial law @ 10 in the EVENING.... maybe he intended it to caught off guard everybody... No body was aware, even his own political party (maybe even his own cabinet members didn't even know). I think the only people know were the Commanders of the Army and Police.... But it was short lived as the National Assembly moved quickly to create a bill to abolish/retract the Martial law declaration. But it was craotic cause just after the declaration Special forces and police were already moving towards the National Assembly building to arrest the Assembly President/Leader... So the citizem gather together to help their Lawmakers enter the building and help stop the soldiers from going inside and arresting the assembly men. It's crazy over there, now the commanders who participated were arrested and they even file a case against their president for Treason.... And Koreans are calling for him to step down or be impeached...

The parliament got inside, voted 190 to 0 votes against the martial law declaration, and the president got no choice but the lift the martial law 6 hours later. As a Filipino living here in South Korea, I actually got a little bit worried. But, it was a shit-show overall.

Check how much military force the United States invested in the Korean War. During the three-year Korean War, the United States entered Korea with 1.796 million participants. The United States has deployed a total of 1153000 Army personnel (1823 tanks), 241000 Air Force personnel (a total of 3000 combat aircraft, with over 1700 deployed on the battlefield), 130000 Marine Corps personnel, and 265000 Navy personnel (210 warships). These combat figures do not include the United Nations forces. The entire Korean War: China sacrificed 183108 people and injured 383218 people. US military: 54246 deaths and 103248 injured. 628833 UN troops died and 1064453 UN troops were injured.

The Filipino said that in the Korean War, the Philippines defeated the Chinese Volunteer Army in a ratio of 1,000 to 40,000. This is absurd and illogical (why Filipinos have this lie, I will analyze it later). During the three years of the Korean War, the Philippines sent a total of 8,000 people to North Korea, only fighting a small-scale battle. During the entire Korean War, 112 Filipinos were killed and 356 were captured. If the Filipinos had such a strong fighting power, they would have been used as cannon fodder by the United States, instead of just participating in one battle. (The United States cherishes the lives of American soldiers very much). Refer to the number of U.S. troops entering the DPRK and the number of casualties.

[@mingmuyiyang8615]

Why is the Philippines so bizarrely fabricating similar lies? Because the Philippine history is a colony. The sole purpose of the lie is to "maintain" the little dignity that exists in this country.

[@mingmuyiyang8615]

There was no Philippines as a country 500 years ago. Colonized three times in 500 years.

[@mingmuyiyang8615]

Why would such a lie be fabricated so bizarrely?

Try also the UN FORCES OF FILIPINO in the middle east near the boarder of Syria where the Officer in Command was from India tried to persuade to surrender their camp which was almost overun by the Rebels where other UN forces nearby already surrendered yet the Pinoy Soldiers tried to escape thru the mines field at nightime regrouping with the Israeli soldiers who were also harass by said rebel forces.

Its funny you said that you wanted to know more about the Philippines Army, and even if they have special forces,sometimes when doing a video to be shared publicly,it’s wiser for the creator to know about the subject he’s talking about,just saying 😊😊😊

[@walterlotilla6564]

before they were sent to korea, they were already battle hardened due to the local communist insurgency in the Philippines, though they were more needed in the Philippines, yet the president quirino still sent them including his son and son-in-law. thats the big difference between the Philippine troops and other UN troops.

[@jhay-arjohnradones5761]

You may also want to watch "the great escape."

[@skylarmobis4681]

Please react on March of the Valiant documentary..you will see there how deatailed the filipino soldiers in korean war

[@AsyongSalonga]

We Filipinos are not used in snow or cold weather. Imagine that

[@oscarduran3511]

Check the Filipino unit assigned in the UN peacekeeping in Lebanon encircled by terrorist and ordered by UN to surrender to the terrorist but refused and instead manage to escape the encirclement and attach to the Irish unit instead.

[@gregoriolamayo9994]

Try to know a Filipino Sniper during WWII fighting with the German Nazi who killed more than 300 soldiers single handedly.

[@marvinmarcos8424]

You should watch battle of marawi and philippines scout ranger. Batyle of marawi happen a few years back so you can see how philippines military fight of isis.

please watch phelipines march of the valiant. thanks and more power to your chanel

[@ikeestanislao665]

actually you did review some Filipino SF Videos lol 😁✌️

[@armynurseboy]

This battle was in April, so while chilly, unlikely it was snowy. The terrain there is semi-mountainous, so the Filipino troops would have been dug in on the high ground, giving them a defensive advantage. Plus they would have still have been backed up by American artillery and air support. The Filipino military was modeled on the US military. Pre-WW2 Filipino Army officers attended West Point. The Filipino Army tends to use US military style weapons and equipment, mostly because they get lots of it as military aid from the US.

[@dapinoygeek2000]

You'll be amazed of the Filipino soldiers. On a show Manhunt with Joe Lambert, the Scout Rangers of the Philippine Army, was able to track & capture him with the least amount of effort & equipment, compared to the other special forces he went against with. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqvOc2eHg6ylg6s

[@J_CART3R]

other than that, that's the first time filipinos deployed in Korea experience winter.

[@Mariano5301]

They wore all of their clothes at the same time. They were not issued winter clothes!
