This is actually the charm of mechanized troops. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The role of mechanized troops on the battlefield is not as simple as being able to quickly rush to a designated position and enter battle, and its greater role is often to be able to do things that cannot be done by two, three, or even more troops.

To put it simply, if the enemy has 100 men on the east and north sides, and we have only 100 men, it seems that the enemy's strength is twice as large as ours, and if we do not take into account the training factor, then its combat effectiveness should be twice that of ours.

However, if our 100 men are mechanized troops, they can quickly maneuver in the east and north, that is, they can fight in the east and fight in the north, and they will all look at the enemy's weak points and withdraw immediately after a successful blow, then the battlefield situation will be completely different.

First of all, our 100 men can basically be used as 200 people, because the enemies in the east and north have to be on guard against the sneak attack of 100 enemies at all times, that is, the situation is similar to that when they face 100 enemies respectively. In other words, rapid maneuvering is almost an instantaneous exponential increase in the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Secondly, it is the rapid maneuvering that makes it possible to use advanced tactics, such as attacking the enemy's weak points and then repelling them with a single blow.

This is also the main reason why cavalry can become the king in the period of cold weapon combat...... This is not to say that the cavalry will be much better than the infantry, in fact, if you really face the hard cavalry, it is not much better than the infantry...... The infantry can erect a gun array in the position, set up a tripping rope, trap a horse pit, etc., during the Han Dynasty, Li Ling led 5,000 foot soldiers to fight with 80,000 Xiongnu for eight days and eight nights, until the arrows ran out before having to surrender.

The real strength of cavalry is its mobility, which allows it to find the enemy's weak points at will, such as logistics supply lines, rear headquarters, etc., to carry out surprise attacks or intersperse, divide, encircle, and then eat them piece by piece.

At this time, Zhang Chi used this method.

If it was in the past, it was because the Japanese army had a higher degree of mechanization than the national army, that is, the Japanese army's marching speed was generally faster than that of the national army, so it was undoubtedly very dangerous to expose the flanks...... The Japanese interspersed troops could penetrate to the right flank of the Chinese army as they wished, and look for weak points to attack, because of their faster mobility, the Chinese army had to be several times or even dozens of times the strength to defend it...... Any point of the hundreds of kilometers of defense line could be a breakthrough for the Japanese army, so any point needs to be defended.

This is also one of the reasons why Wu Xuexin thought it was impossible to "replace defense with offense...... To defend the right flank of hundreds of kilometers, one more army had to be invested.

But now, because the Chinese army is more mobile, and has the advantage of civilian and aerial reconnaissance, it is almost impossible to save this army and replace it with a regiment of rapid mobile troops...... It is clear where the enemy is interspersed, how many people there are, and where they are located, and then the rapid mobile units of this regiment, under the cover of air power, carry out strikes against the enemy interspersed forces...... This allows for targeted defenses.

"Do you know how the Mongol cavalry dealt with the enemy?" Zhang Chi asked.

"Mongol cavalry?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied: "The Mongolian cavalry often defeats several times or even dozens of times the enemy on the battlefield, they do not rely on the cavalry to slash and kill the enemy, if it is a slash and kill, no matter how powerful a Mongolian cavalry is, it is impossible to beat dozens of infantry." They rely on their mobility to attack the enemy's supply while tracking the enemy, harassing and sneaking up on them from time to time, and when the enemy is tired and loses their fighting spirit, they will win with one blow! ”

"Although the cavalry is about to be eliminated in this era, this does not mean that the tactics of the Mongolian cavalry cannot be used. While the Japanese also have cars, we have airplanes, tanks, half-track armored vehicles...... So, we are the Mongol cavalry, and the Japanese are the infantry that is exhausted by the play and inevitably eaten in the end, understand? ”

Wu Xuexin nodded and said, "Master! I know what to do! ”

"Good!" Zhang Chi read the admiration in Wu Xuexin's eyes, so Zhang Chi knew that Wu Xuexin really understood.

On the plane back to Shenyang, Wu Xuexin still couldn't get out of the battle scene that Zhang Chi had just depicted...... In fact, it surprised and ashamed both him.

I was surprised because Wu Xuexin couldn't believe that these were the thoughts of a young man in his early twenties.

is ashamed because Wu Xuexin didn't find out until now...... I have fought in vain for more than ten years, to be more precise, I have fought in a daze, and I have learned nothing after the battle.

And Zhang Chi's style of play is called fighting...... No, it should be called art.

However, the fact is not exactly as Wu Xuexin thought, the reason is that this kind of mobile defense or active defense tactics has higher requirements for equipment and intelligence, such as the need for air superiority, if there is no air superiority, then the mobile troops will be easily defeated by the enemy's fighters, and the purpose of mobile defense will not be achieved.

In other words, if Zhang Chi is placed in the equipment and environment of the national army, he is afraid that Zhang Chi is the one who is educated.

"Throne!" Seeing that Wu Xuexin was silent, Staff Officer Lin came up again and said, "I think that Zhang Chi also thinks things too simply, and the Japanese are so easy to ......."

"Staff Officer Lin!" Wu Xuexin interrupted Staff Officer Lin's words and said, "I heard that a staff officer of the 116th Division was injured by a mine? ”

"Yes!" Staff Officer Lin replied: "Yesterday's incident! ”

"You go make up for it!" Wu Xuexin said: "I'll report when I get off the plane!" ”

Staff Officer Lin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Zhang Chi on the other side, at this time, finally had some free time, he straightened up outside the car and waved his hands and kicked his legs at will...... After sitting in the car for a long time, I have some backache.

"Master!" At this time, Zhang Qingji served Zhang Chi a bowl of porridge and said, "Let's drink it hot!" ”

"Yo, where did you come from?" Zhang Chi asked curiously.

"Some rice from the fellow for us!" Zhang Qingqi replied: "I just boiled it up when you were discussing things with the army, and it was hot several times!" ”

Because he couldn't stand the temptation of porridge, Zhang Chi took the bowl and chopsticks and drank it "whoosh".

I couldn't help but feel a little sad when I drank and drank it...... Now even drinking a bowl of porridge has become a pleasure, but many warriors do not even have the time for this enjoyment, and they have to buy all the time to attack the enemy as quickly as possible...... So this blitzkrieg is really hard to fight!
