    Gomulists cant afford guns so they wait until their comrades die and pick up their guns then continue the human wave

        I don't see how. It makes them look disorganized, unprepared, and callous. They were desperate, yes, and some units and civilians were indeed unprepared and took extreme measures to ensure combat compliance, but they were not mindlessly throwing people at the enemy as a tactic.
