This is actually a very simple truth, because if the enemy knows how you will fight, or how you want you to fight, then they will be prepared, and they will even spend several years training to format every step, so
On the battlefield, you can always make the best reaction or choice as quickly as possible.
This is battlefield experience and military quality.
For example, the German army summarized their previous combat experience and passed on these combat experiences to new recruits through veterans or instructors, so that the new recruits have qualities that are not inferior to or even better than those of the enemy's veterans as soon as they enter the battlefield.
In fact, German recruits usually do not go directly to the front line to face the enemy...The German army has a system of recruit camps. New recruits recruited from the rear first enter the recruit camp.
In the recruit camp, veteran officers will tell them what the current battlefield situation is like, and then the recruits will be given necessary pre-war training and perform some less dangerous tasks depending on the situation.
On the one hand, this allows soldiers to learn more about battlefield conditions, and on the other hand, it allows new recruits to have a buffering and adaptation stage.
Therefore, the casualty rate of recruits will naturally be greatly reduced, ultimately achieving the goal of rationally utilizing every human resource.
On the other hand, the Soviet Army had too many soldiers who were sent to the battlefield to face the enemy directly after only receiving basic training. This caused many of the soldiers with fighting or commanding talents to develop before they had time to develop.
Died by the enemy's gun.
This can be said to be a loss.
The advantage is that a short training period can mobilize a large number of troops in a short period of time, and these "large numbers of troops" are directly thrown onto the battlefield. After suffering several battlefield casualties, the remaining soldiers will naturally grow into experienced veterans.
For the Soviet Union, the proportion of veterans who grew up was small but the number was still considerable.
In the middle and later stages of the German army, due to insufficient manpower, this "new barracks" system existed in name only. New recruits were also sent to the front line to fight as soon as they entered the army.
But before that, the German troops had a set of experience and formatted systems for regular combat on the battlefield. The German soldiers did not even need to think or ask for instructions. When the Soviet army launched an attack, they could just follow the system.
Under such circumstances, the Soviet army, which had insufficient training and insufficient quality, would certainly suffer losses in a regular battle with the German army.
But if we change our tactics and fight unconventional warfare, for example, on the night when a large-scale counterattack against the German army was supposed to be launched, Shulka chose to let the Soviet army sneak attack.
"They do not need to occupy any territory!" Shulka said: "At the same time, there is no time limit. They are only required to throw a few grenades or fire a few rockets at the enemy's hiding place, and then return after dawn!"
This time Dimitri had no objection, and he quickly assigned the task.
Perhaps Dimitri also wanted to see what would happen if Shulka fought like this. Anyway, he wouldn't lose much troops.
As a result, groups of soldiers lurked and penetrated the German defense lines in squad units.
This is somewhat like the cave digging that occurred in Laoshan during the Sino-Vietnamese War, except that the terrain is not mountainous but urban ruins.
This kind of infiltration by the Soviet army was not without purpose.
The student troops have undergone relevant training. They guide NKVD soldiers on the front line and conduct on-the-spot command and coordination.
Usually the sniper sets the target first.
This target is relatively important and also very secretive or difficult to suppress with sniper rifles or mortars.
For example, the machine gun position in the middle of the building is built with windows and sandbags... Because it is in the center of the building, mortars and other direct fire cannons are basically incapable of it.
Another example is bunker fortification.
Many of these bunker fortifications were even constructed by the Soviet army and modified by the Germans. They could not be blown up by mortars. At the same time, because the perforations were small and numerous, it was difficult for snipers to pose a threat to targets hiding in them.
Even in previous sniper battles, the German army equipped the bunker fortifications with periscopes. Observers observed the Soviet positions through the periscopes and then reported the position of Soviet snipers to friendly forces.
Against this kind of target, the Soviet sniper troops had no solution at all.
Because these bunker fortifications are low and sturdy in structure, it is difficult for artillery shells to hit them, and even if they hit directly, they may not be able to blow them up.
Of course, only these targets require the Soviet army to use soldiers to infiltrate them and blow them up.
As a result, the situation of the war changed.
This time is a bit slow, because such penetration requires a lot of patience... The Soviet snipers are responsible for suppressing the Germans, and the mortars are responsible for attracting the attention of the Germans and providing cover for the commandos.
Under such circumstances, the commandos crawled forward like snails in the darkness in the corners of the ruins and various dark places. Sometimes they took several minutes to crawl forward, and sometimes they took the risk of leaping forward, and some even used blood to kill them.
Disguise yourself as a corpse, and then move forward using the cover of the corpse.
It should be said that most Soviet soldiers are not good at doing this, because they are not patient people. Compared with this kind of battle, they prefer to rush forward under the cover of artillery fire.
Another reason is that such a battle requires good psychological quality.
If you charge with a gun, there will be a group effect, that is, everyone is charging, and no matter how scared the individual is, he will involuntarily follow the crowd and rush forward, and the group charge can also embolden the individual.
This kind of stealth battle is not like this. You lie down on the ground and slowly move forward. You are the only one in the darkness, with corpses, blood, darkness, and the enemy's gun muzzle not far ahead... Once discovered, it will be a dead end, especially
When you reach the halfway point of the climb, you will feel a sense of collapse, just like a mountain climber who wants to give up halfway but cannot give up. The feeling of helplessness without tears is something that outsiders cannot understand.
These are all psychological tortures and tests, and they are long-term and continuous.
The result of being unable to withstand this kind of test is to go to extremes.
There are two extreme manifestations: one is to simply get up from the ground with grenades and explosive packs in hand and rush forward.
The other is to drop your equipment and run away...
Both situations occurred in the first raid, which left the Germans a little baffled. They didn't understand why someone suddenly ran away in the middle of the defense line. In the dark, they even thought it was their own people who were charging without firing.
But soon they understood.
Because suddenly a smoking grenade flew into their bunker, or a rocket roared straight towards the firing hole.
"Enemy attack!" the German officer shouted: "They are right in front of us, find them and send them to hell!" (To be continued)
