Chapter 944
For example, the Japanese attacks can be considered equal in firepower. Although the long-range artillery has a disadvantage, the number of rapid-fire artillery is large and the troops have a huge advantage. If you choose to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, it is understandable to launch an attack at night. Not to mention this, but after the Japanese broke through in the subsequent situation, the entire Japanese army's defeat was completely deviated.
The Japanese fought too scatteredly! And they were too "bullying the weak and afraid of the strong". Germany mentioned in the military textbooks in 1906 that the distance between infantry should be about 2.5 meters, and can be expanded when necessary, but the maximum cannot exceed 8 meters. Otherwise, the commander of the offensive army would not be able to collect the troops, and as they fought, they would become herding sheep!
What about the current situation of the Japanese? Although the commando is very tight, there is no connection between the commando teams. After the troops broke through the surface defense line, they did not consolidate and expand the breakthrough, but chose to continue to go deeper! Well, you go deeper, after all, the Japanese are also human beings. You are not a superman who wears underwear. How many weapons can you carry and how long it can last for you to fight will be limited by human resources. Material means that you won’t be able to fight far!
Why did the German Storm Commando break through in history? I really think it is just a matter of relying on the firepower and simple synthetic troops in the hands of soldiers? That is just a gap. The artillery support in the rear and the follow-up of a large number of troops are essential. The continuous reinforcements tear open the opponent's defense line, expand the break, and even shake the defense line is the right way to solve the opponent's defense. And how did the Japanese do it?
Maybe if the Russians fight too much, the Japanese also believe that the armies of other countries are as slow to react, lack subjective initiative, and weak firepower. Once they break through a little, they can shake the whole line, right? In fact, half of this is true. More than 90% of the armies of the world are like this. It must not include Germany, France and Britain at that time! Otherwise, the war would have ended long ago!
The Japanese pursue the transition of offensive speed. When facing most support points, they choose to bypass rather than destroy. According to common sense, there are several support points that cannot be broken through, which is OK. It is called flexible maneuvering, but if you want to bypass most support points and then smash the opponent's defense line? Then there are only two possibilities. One possibility is that the opponent is a fool, and the support points cannot be arranged, so that most of them cannot play a role. The other possibility is that the attacker daydreaming. The Germans are obviously not the first type of person, so they can only be the Japanese.
The war has been around for several months. If the Germans had created a defense line that could be penetrated with just one wave of recklessness on the other side, then the German team would have been defeated long ago. Although it was a non-key area, as the armored troops and the air force played an increasingly important role, the German defense line was also rising. It doesn't matter if a hole was opened on the defense line, but the Japanese could make several passages. But these were not fatal!
Akiyama Yoko has discovered some of these problems, such as the bunker groups with very good locations, which greatly restricted the deployment of the troops. But why did Akiyama Yoko still choose to detour? Because they found that after penetrating several lines of defense, the German defense line was an open area, and the Japanese thought was very simple. If they could penetrate the defense line as soon as possible and then gather in the open area, then it would be okay to continue to tear the defense line or develop in depth. The German defense line seemed to have the opportunity to penetrate it if it was night attacks, so Akiyama Yoko, who was not so trusting in their own firepower preparations, wanted to make some cleverness.
However, when Akiyama Yogu did this, he fell directly into the trap of Major General Feng Seckert. The German defensive forces had two divisions and a reserve division behind them, while the Japanese army had four divisions. From the perspective of organization, a standard Japanese division was larger than a German division. It was about 3,000 more people. If the German army, which was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, was just step-by-step defense and headed on the defense line, maybe the defense line could be defended, but the results would never be good. After all, the support of both sides was similar, and the number of people was more than you, so the cost of defending was also relatively high.
Hans von Seckert was definitely capable of becoming the father of the "100,000 National Defense Forces" in history, so combined with the form of the battlefield, he came up with a plan similar to elastic defense. In fact, no matter which line of defense, the number of German troops was not large, and the weapons configured were not strong. If someone looked at Seckert's defense line settings at this time, he would find that his defense line was more like a relatively close point, rather than a series of continuous lines of defense.
Seckert had no intention of taking advantage of the enemy's position at all. He concentrated most of the heavy weapons, mobile forces and armored battalions assigned to him in the rear of the front line. The purpose was to wait for the Japanese army to cross the defense line and give a heavy blow when the Japanese army reassembled their troops. If the Japanese fought steadily and stripped away the support points on the defense line step by step, Seckert's method would be lost. After the overall shaking of the defense line, the three Japanese troops advanced together, and the German army had no chance. Then Seckert could only honestly fight with his opponent, but now it seems?
It seemed that the Japanese wanted to take advantage of the situation and only removed a few blockade points. The opening was not big enough and the troops were too scattered. In addition to the troops in the temple, there was enough fire support, other troops lacked accompanying artillery. If this was the case, it was exactly what Seckert wanted! If the Japanese attacked step by step, although it was slow, the artillery and subsequent reinforcements could keep up in time, but now? The Japanese army that pursued speed would naturally have problems in other places!
"Okay, we have won half of it, so it depends on the rest!" Seckert said cheering up. "No need to worry about the slowest army, let them move slowly in the trenches. The fastest one can block the last line of defense. We need to concentrate most of the elites to welcome the British tanks and another Japanese army behind." Seckert soon ordered.
"Do we need to contact the reserve team?" asked an adjutant next to him.
"The reserve team still needs it, let them prepare, but they don't need to go to them now." Seckert thought for a while and said. The current situation is that the German army has certain advantages at the battle level, but it is hard to say how they fight at the tactical level. He now needs to leave enough reserve teams to deal with emergencies. After all, if the troops used to restrain Takao Suzuki's troops could not be stopped, the reserve team would still need to close the gap.
