In fact, the Japanese have always wanted to learn Hans's "Blitzkrieg", but they have never learned the essence of "Blitzkrieg".
"Blitzkrieg" does not mean how powerful this unit is and how well equipped it is.
In fact, when Hans launched the "Blitzkrieg", he often used extremely backward tanks such as "No. 1" and "No. 2".
Even when attacking Mao Xiong, its few "Type III" tanks were no match for Mao Xiong T34 tanks.
However, even these seemingly backward equipment can divide, surround and capture hundreds of thousands of enemies.
The reason for this is that the key to its success is actually the tactical thought of "offense is greater than defense" that Wang Xuexin has always emphasized before.
"Blitzkrieg" means taking "offense over defense" to its extreme.
The ordinary "offense is greater than defense" is limited to pre-war preparations or the ability to concentrate superior forces to break through at one point.
However, Hans' "blitzkrieg" in which "offense outweighs defense" often made the enemy's troops unable to function.
Just like Wang Xuexin said, if the Eighth Route Army sends troops to garrison high ground on both sides of a certain section of highway to prepare to intercept the enemy.
But what if the enemy gets intelligence in advance and knows that there is an Eighth Route Army ambush in a certain highland, and they use the speed of their engineers and mechanized troops to bypass these highlands?
Since the Eighth Route Army was not a mechanized force and had no speed, it could not catch up with the enemy who was taking a detour.
Another meaning of not being able to catch up is that these troops cannot be put into the battlefield and therefore cannot be effective.
Finally, Wang Xuexin concluded: "My understanding of 'blitzkrieg' is actually two words 'flexible'. The so-called 'flexible' means that they are not limited to a certain combat plan. They may have many sets of combat plans, and some
There may be no battle plan at all, or there may be a battle plan, but once the war starts, it is not implemented at all..."
Li Yunlong then said: "Then there is no need for chaos? How can there be such a war?"
No wonder Li Yunlong said this, this kind of tactic was unimaginable to the Eighth Route Army.
Wang Xuexin explained: "It is definitely not possible for us to fight like this, because our communication equipment is sparse and poor. Once a certain unit does not fight as planned, it is likely to affect the whole body, and it will easily lead to a fight.
A chaotic fight without any structure!"
The leader frowned and nodded slightly: "Hans' communication equipment and communication level are far superior to our army, so they can fight such a battle!"
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin continued: "Their operations are often eclectic, and the superiors do not have exact orders for each unit. For example, to capture a certain city and what route to advance along, they usually give each unit an order.
They have a goal, and as long as they can achieve this goal, no matter what methods or tactics they use, as long as they can achieve it! This gives each combat unit considerable freedom and space to play!"
After a pause, Wang Xuexin continued: "It is precisely because of this degree of freedom that their tactics are often unexpected. The defenders use several times or even dozens of times more troops to intercept, but in the end they return without success."
The enemy quickly penetrates through the weak points."
"The reason is obvious!" the chief analyzed: "The interception force is acting according to the plan. The deployment and location of the army can be predicted or intelligence reconnaissance, and it can be estimated that it will not change for a long time in the future.
Hans's troops, on the other hand, have no plan. They have sufficient information to know when the enemy will arrive, where they are at this time, etc., so they can calmly arrange and act according to the situation! In this way, even if the troops are insufficient, they will be able to do it with ease!"
Wang Xuexin secretly praised in his heart, but the chief saw clearly.
Putting aside the issue of coordination among various arms, the tactical advantages of "blitzkrieg" are indeed as the chief said.
Especially in the early stages of the war, everything in Mao Xiong's army may not change according to regulations, and even the attack time may not change, let alone rigid offensive tactics. How could such an unflexible army be an opponent of Hans's army, which is known for its "flexibility"?
It can even be said that Hans's "Blitzkrieg" is the nemesis of the Bear Army.
In fact, the chief was also shocked by Wang Xuexin's words.
Prior to this, the chief had also studied "Blitzkrieg" and thought he had a thorough study of "Blitzkrieg".
However, after listening to Wang Xuexin's analysis today, I realized that my understanding of "blitzkrieg" was only superficial, such as coordination of various arms, intelligence collection, marching speed, etc.
The real core should be flexible command.
This is inseparable from the high-quality commanders of Hans's troops and the subjective initiative of the troops.
Li Yunlong stopped talking when he heard this, because he already understood that Hans's "blitzkrieg" was not as simple as he imagined.
In fact, Li Yunlong knew that the "blitzkrieg" was not that simple, otherwise he would not have been able to capture hundreds of thousands of Mao Xiong's troops!
Is it that Mao Xiong’s troops don’t know how to fight?
Judging from Androvich's few tank soldiers, this is not the case. At least they are better equipped than the Eighth Route Army and have more experience than the Eighth Route Army.
But they were still defeated across the board under the impact of the "Blitzkrieg", which is enough to illustrate the power of the "Blitzkrieg".
The reason why Li Yunlong refused to admit it was because he had always had a personality that refused to admit defeat.
The equipment may not be as good as others, the experience may not be as rich as others, and the troops may not be as large as others, but the momentum cannot be lost!
After thinking about it, Li Yunlong said: "Xiao Dongbei, Hans's 'Blitzkrieg' has been blown to the sky by you. If you ask me, even if Hans's 'Blitzkrieg' is really that powerful, it's Hans.
By giving him an adviser, he can turn the Japanese troops into a 'blitzkrieg'?"
Li Yunlong's words are on point.
Blitzkrieg requires the cooperation of intelligence, communications, equipment, etc., especially the coordination of various arms.
But the Japs are inferior to Hans in all these aspects, and some are even worse than the same level.
For example, this is the case with the communications of the air force... The Japanese "Zero War" equipped with new radios is pretty good, but the old models, including reconnaissance aircraft, have many problems such as radios being full of noise or no signals.
So much so that the Japanese reconnaissance planes still maintain the primitive method of "message bottle" for communicating with ground troops. That is, when the reconnaissance plane detects information and wants to notify the ground troops, it writes the information on a note and puts it in a bottle, and sweeps it at low altitude and speed.
Throw the "message bottle" to the ground troops when passing over them...
With this level of communication and coordination, especially without paratroopers, how can we take on the important task of "blitzkrieg"?
Wang Xuexin only replied: "Commander, we cannot pin our victory on the enemy's inability. We have to assume that the enemy can do it!"
