Lmao human wave attack is the oldest move in the book and it doesn't always work, but when it works it works. The Chinese overwhelmed tanks and surrounded infantry during Korea.
Not a military guy, but I could see how it might be effective if your opponent isnt entrenched and doesn't have access to heavy firepower (artillery, close air support, armored support), it might be an effective tactic.

No, what the Chinese did was sophisticated infiltration tactic where they form their infantry into small highly mobile squads that'll close in into enemy position with stealth, then attack in repeated cycles of alternating squads.
This gives the impression of the Chinese throwing endless horde of soldiers when in reality the Chinese unit is often no bigger than their opponent.

Can I read more about this?
pretty sure china just released a big movie on the korean war lol, sure they have some tactics shown in it
It was something I picked up from military forums but the wikipedia page on human wave actually points this out.
