At this point, Tian Boguang paused deliberately to look at the reactions of the generals below.
You must know that during the many years of civil war since the founding of the Republic of China, the Chinese army also had many battlefield assault methods similar to the Pig Charge. However, there was no guarantee that it could continue to maintain a complete impact posture without fear of bloodshed and sacrifice even when casualties were excessive.
.Often when fighting with the wind, you can still maintain a certain formation and impact, but once you suffer heavy casualties, you will turn around and retreat or even collapse.
Even if sometimes they were intimidated and driven away by the guns of the rear supervision team, and had to brave the enemy's bullets and charge bravely, but at that time, the soldiers and officers had lost their courage long ago, and they were all frightened and could not maintain that attitude anymore.
With an indomitable momentum and a complete charge formation, all I was thinking about was how to save my life.
This kind of charge can defeat the enemy in one blow when fighting with a tailwind and when the advantage is huge. However, when faced with greater difficulties and crisis on the battlefield, it is also most necessary to be consistent from top to bottom, and to be able to show the momentum and desire to win.
Sometimes, the outcome often ends in failure, and it is basically the officers who take the lead in escaping first. Even if there are a few successful examples, they are mostly luck. This is not only a matter of tactics and training, but more importantly, the firm belief and determination of soldiers and grassroots officers.
Tactical thinking must remain highly consistent.
Just like it is very common for an army to have one or a group of officers and soldiers who are not afraid of death and have strong execution ability, but if you want an army to be composed of this type of people from top to bottom, in the current era of the Republic of China, it is still
It really couldn't be done. Only after the Red Army began to rise, and with the support of firm revolutionary beliefs and extremely loyal beliefs, did the Red Army create miracles one after another in the history of war, being braver than the Japanese army and not afraid of death.
.
The Japanese army was able to achieve this during this period because of years of militaristic education and their loyalty to the Emperor of Japan, which was almost like their faith.
At this time, the generals sitting below, including Zhao Changshu, were secretly comparing their own troops with the Japanese army. In the end, they couldn't help but smile bitterly and came to the same conclusion. The current Jin army really couldn't do it.
Tian Boguang and others had thought about it for a while, and then continued: "The pig attack tactic is an assault tactic that the Japanese army has advocated and used since the cold weapon era, and is still very effective today. This tactic has been experienced by the Japanese army for nearly a hundred years.
It has achieved miraculous results in any war.
The most famous example is that during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, the Japanese army attacked Port Arthur, which was defended by the Russian army. The Russian army's defense was very tight, and the Japanese army failed several attacks. At this time, the Russian reinforcement fleet was on the way. If the war was delayed,
When the Russian army received reinforcements, the situation of the war would quickly reverse. Under such circumstances, Japanese general Nogi Nogi Nogi commanded more than 40,000 Japanese troops to stage a collective charge, which was also known as the pig attack tactic.
At that time, more than 40,000 Japanese soldiers howled like wild boars, with bayonets dazzling and charging regardless of casualties, which played an unexpected role. The Russian army panicked and wavered in an instant. Although they occupied favorable terrain and solid fortifications,
The Japanese army was still attacked one after another, and the group charged without stopping to break through the position. With the victory of this battle, the Japanese army finally occupied Port Arthur and won the Russo-Japanese War."
At this time, Zhou Wen, who was sitting below, was also thinking. The reason why he asked Tian Boguang to explain the Japanese Pig Charge, which from the perspective of later generations was no different from sending someone to death, was because this backward tactic, which looked like a cold weapon era, would be used in the subsequent Anti-Japanese War.
However, it has repeatedly achieved miraculous results against the Chinese army.
Later, an American general made a fair evaluation: "For a person who is caught off guard and is weak, the wild boar rushing towards him is indeed very dangerous; but for a group of hunters with bows and arrows, the wild boar rushing towards them is just the right thing to do."
"Chinese food." This tactic of the Japanese army seemed to be outdated. Later, when faced with the intensive and ferocious firepower of the US military in the Pacific battlefield of World War II, this conclusion was indeed proved. In the end, the Japanese army even boasted about the pig surprise tactic for nearly a century, and it evolved into what we saw before our eyes.
Those Japanese soldiers who failed in the battle and refused to surrender launched a suicidal charge.
However, from now until the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the weapons, equipment and combat effectiveness of the Chinese army were those of "people who were caught off guard, weak and weak", while those American soldiers in the Pacific battlefield who were armed to the teeth by the United States' large-scale advanced industry were "a group of crooks"
The hunter with his bow and arrow."
At this time, Tian Boguang raised a question to the officers below, which was how a regiment of the Chinese army should respond to the Pig Charge of a brigade of the Japanese army. After he finished explaining, he could have an in-depth discussion with everyone.
Then, Tian Boguang said: "The second tactic of the Japanese attack is called roundabout insertion.
The Japanese army's roundabout tactics are divided into three types: strategic level, operational level and tactical level.
The tactical ideas at the strategic level and the operational level are similar, that is, to invest a division in a large offensive direction or to strengthen the division to attack from the flanks or to contain the enemy. This mode is also a commonly used tactic in modern warfare.
What I want to emphasize is the roundabout tactics at the tactical level, that is, battles at the scale of divisions or below. When the frontal battlefield is blocked, the two sides enter a stalemate, and a frontal breakthrough cannot be made in a short period of time, or the frontal enemy firepower and troops occupy
When they have an advantage, the Japanese army will usually form a mixed force with more artillery and even tanks, such as the reinforced brigade or even the reinforced regiment I just mentioned, to bypass the enemy's flanks and find a breakthrough.
This tactical thinking runs from the division level of the Japanese army to the detachment level. In other words, even if it is a small-scale battle of 13 people in a detachment of the Japanese army, when they find that the front is blocked, they will usually separate some of them.
A flanking group dominated by experienced veterans conducts roundabout attacks, and often achieves miraculous results.
Therefore, today I would like to remind all the officers present here that if you encounter any Japanese troops in the future, whether it is the division level or the squadron level, when the two sides start fighting, a certain number of reserves must be left to guard against the Japanese troops.
A roundabout attack from the flank. Even before the two sides start fighting, it is necessary to consider that their flank attack troops may have already set off.
It can be said that the Japanese army's pig charge tactic embodies the Bushido spirit and brave style advocated by the Japanese army, and is the most direct manifestation of the Japanese army's iron-blooded military spirit. The flanking roundabout tactic embodies the tactical thinking and tactical level of Japanese officers at all levels.
It looks like a flanking detour that is very commonly used in the military, but it involves how to choose the detour direction, how to find the enemy's flank weak points, how to cooperate with the frontal battle, the timing of launching the attack, etc. A series of tests for officers and soldiers
