Human wave attack


'''Human wave attack''' is a military term describing a type of assault performed by infantry units in which soldiers attack in successive line formations. Such attacks are common in all poorly equipped armies, or where the objective is of strategic importance. The casualty rate is generally enormous, yet such attacks are often successful and therefore remain an accepted combat technique. When Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union in 1941, the Soviets fought back with human waves of Red Army troops against both advancing and entrenched enemy soldiers. Usually the Red Army soldiers were told to charge directly in a wide berth to strike every possible point in the German lines. In some battles the Soviets defeated the Germans after sustaining battle losses equal or more than the German losses. It also was a tactic that was employed widely and sucesfully by the North Korean and Chinese armies during the Korean War albeit at a very bloody cost. During the 1950's The Viet Minh, under the command of General Giap, successfully used the human wave attack method against the entrenched French garrison at Dien Bien Phu (Vietnam), shocking the French government into seeking an end to the conflict in Indochina. Human waves were also rampant in the Iran-Iraq War. Category:Ground warfare
