Human wave attack The term "human wave attack" was often misused to describe the Chinese short attack.—a combination of infiltration and the shock tactics employed by the People's Liberation Army during the Korean War (1950–1953).. A typical Chinese short attack was carried out at night by sending a series of small five-man fireteams to attack the weakest point of an enemy's defenses. The Chinese assault team would crawl undetected within grenade range, then launch surprise attacks with fixed bayonets against the defenders in order to breach the defenses by relying on maximum shock and confusion.
