South Korea's casualty data is the most chaotic. According to a set of figures, South Korea includes 13 12836 military and civilian casualties, including 4 15004 dead, 425868 disabled and 459428 missing.
The History of the Korean War published by the War History Compilation Committee of the Ministry of National Defense of South Korea 1976 claimed that the number of casualties and missing/captured United Nations troops were 1, 168 and 160 respectively. The South Korean army lost more than 984,400 people, including 227,800 killed, 765,438 injured+076,540 missing. This figure is not far from the number estimated by China and North Korea to kill Han Jun.. However, another South Korean source claimed that this included the number of civilian casualties, and now the official figure of South Korea has been revised to 620,000.
China announced the results.
1June 25, 950 to1July 27, 953, the Korean army killed or injured enemy prisoners 1093839 people, including more than 390,000 Americans. Shoot down enemy planes 12224, destroy 3064 enemy tanks and sink 257 enemy ships. In the whole War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Chinese people's Volunteer Army wiped out 7 1.8477 million enemy troops. Together with the number of enemies wiped out by the Korean People's Army from June 25th, 0950 to July 27th, 0953, the Chinese and Korean armies wiped out a total of 1093839 people, including more than 390,000 American soldiers, 660,000 Korean soldiers and 20,000 other servants.
American casualty statistics
Compared with the number of American casualties in the Korean War in Volume II of American Military History [36], the statistical report of American casualties in previous wars and military operations submitted by CRS to Congress on 20 10 should be the most credible (as shown in the following table). Among the death figures, there are about 8,000 people missing from the mission (also known as missing, that is, the body has not been found and has been presumed dead). The above figures are constantly changing, and the remains of American soldiers have been found, identified and buried. As of 20 14, 15, there are still 7896 bodies of American soldiers.
Yan Xu, a professor at the National Defense University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, believes that this statistic of the US military is more reliable than that of the South Korean military. According to the national system of the United States, it is unlikely that there will be a big error in the death toll. Otherwise, if someone fails to list the names of the dead and carve commemorative cards for American soldiers killed in the Korean War, then the families of the dead will definitely toss and turn, and the uproar caused by the media will make the US government extremely embarrassed.
