Chapter 944: But That's It
Like the Japanese attack, the firepower can be considered equal, although the long-range artillery is inferior, but the number of rapid-fire guns is the majority, and the strength has a huge advantage, so it is understandable to choose to use the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, and launch an attack at night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info This is not to be said for the time being, but since the subsequent partial breakthrough of the Japanese, the entire Japanese army has completely gone the wrong way.
The Japanese are too scattered! And it is too "bullying the soft and afraid of the hard". Germany mentioned in the 1906 military textbooks that the distance between the infantry should be about 2.5 meters, and it can be expanded if necessary, but the maximum cannot exceed 8 meters, otherwise, the commander of the attacking force will not be able to gather the troops, and it will become a herding sheep while fighting!
And what about the situation of the Japanese now? Although they were very tight within the commandos, there was no contact between the various commandos, and 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 people, you are not a superman in underwear, how many weapons you can carry, and how long you can continue to fight are all limited by manpower. Materially it is determined that you can't go far!
Why did the German storm commandos break through in history? Do you really think that you can rely solely on the firepower in the hands of soldiers and simple synthetic troops? That's just a gap, artillery support in the rear and a large number of troops to follow up is indispensable, and a steady stream of reinforcements to tear through the opponent's defense line, expand the breach, and even shake this defense line is the right way to solve the opponent's defense. And how did the Japanese do it?
Maybe they fought too much with the Russians, and the Japanese also thought that the armies of other countries, like the Russians, were sluggish, lacked subjective initiative, and had weak firepower, and that they could be shaken on all fronts once they broke through a little, right? In fact, this is half true, the armies of more than ninety percent of the countries in the world are like this, and it certainly does 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, and in the face of most of the support points, they choose to bypass rather than destroy, according to common sense, there are a few support points that cannot be broken through, that is okay, that is called flexible mobility, but you want to bypass most of the support points, and then crush the opponent's defense? Then there are only two possibilities, one is that the other party is a fool, and the support points will not be arranged, so that most of them will not work. Another possibility is that the attacker is daydreaming. The Germans will obviously not be the first kind, then only the Japanese will be the second!
The war had been going on for several months, and if the Germans had come up with a line of defense that could be penetrated by a reckless wave on the opposite side, the German army would have been defeated long ago, although it was a non-key area, but with the armored forces and the air force playing an increasingly important role, the German defense line was also rising. It doesn't matter if a hole is opened in the defensive line, it's okay for the Japanese to make a few passes. But none of this is deadly!
Akiyama Yoshiko had already discovered some of these problems, for example, the bunker groups that were stuck in very good positions greatly limited the deployment of troops. But why did Akiyama still choose to take a detour? Because they found that after penetrating several lines of defense, the German line was an open area, and the Japanese thought was simple, if they could penetrate the line as soon as possible and then assemble in an open area, then they could continue to tear the line or develop in depth. And the Germans' defense line seems to have a chance to penetrate at once if they use a night attack, so Akiyama Yoshiko, who doesn't trust his own firepower preparation so much, wants to be a little smart.
However, when Akiyama Yoshiko did this, he fell directly into Feng. Major General Seckert's trap, the German defense force is 2 divisions, and there is a reserve division behind, while the Japanese army is 4 divisions, and from the point of view of establishment, a standard Japanese division is larger than a German division. There are about 3,000 more people. If the German army, which is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, is a step-by-step defense and dies on the defensive line, maybe the defensive line can be held, but the results will definitely not be good, after all, the support firepower on both sides is about the same, and the number of people is much larger than yours, and the cost of holding is relatively large.
Hans. Feng. Seckert can become the father of the "100,000 Wehrmacht" in history, and he definitely has some ability, so, combined with the form of the battlefield, he came up with a plan similar to elastic defense. In fact, regardless of which line of defense, the Germans were not very numerous, and the weapons equipped were not very strong. If someone looks at Seckert's defensive setup at this time, they will find that his defensive line is more like a relatively close point of defense rather than a continuous defensive line.
Seckert had no intention of staying out of his position, and he concentrated most of his heavy weapons, mobile forces, and armored battalions assigned to him behind the battle line. The purpose was to wait for the Japanese to cross the defensive line and deliver a heavy blow when the Japanese regrouped their forces. If the Japanese fight steadily and step by step strip away the support points on the defensive line, then Seckert's method will fail, after shaking the defensive line as a whole, the three Japanese armies will advance in unison, and the Germans will not have any chance, then Seckert can only honestly and the opponent die, but now it seems?
It seems that the Japanese wanted to take advantage of it, and only removed a few blockade points, the opening was not large enough, the troops were too scattered, and except for the troops in the temple who had sufficient fire support, the other troops lacked accompanying artillery, if this was the case, it would be in the hands of Seckert! 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, which pursued speed, naturally had problems elsewhere!
"Okay, we've already won half of the way, it's up to us to get the rest!" Seckert said with a shake of spirits. "Leave the slowest army alone and let them move slowly through the trenches. The fastest one can hold off at the last line of defense, and we need to concentrate most of the elite to meet the British tanks and another Japanese army behind them. Soon Seckert ordered.
"Do we need to contact the reserves?" An adjutant next to him asked.
"The reserves are still needed, let them prepare, but they don't need to be on them yet." Seckert thought for a while and said, the current situation is that the German army has a certain advantage at the campaign level, but it is difficult to say how well it fights at the tactical level. He now needs to leave enough reserves to deal with emergencies, after all, if the troops used to contain Takao Suzuki can't stop it, they need this reserve to close the gap.
