The huge North Kyushu City, the 50,000 army in this city full of corpses, still seems to be very few people, the place is very large, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen finally understood the biggest problem of the Japanese war in later generations, they can't use their own way, massacre everywhere, because they don't have so many people to farm, to work, can't let a large area of land be barren, right? After thinning out the population density, they will not be able to hold on, in other words, Japan simply cannot eat such a large China, otherwise China will not be able to hold out for so long.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is now facing the same population problem, he does not have so many people to control the territory he has built, so he appreciates Zheng Yuelin's view of fighting Japan in his heart, after occupying Kyushu Island, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen captured Shikoku Island in one day, and the army marched to Edo two days later!

From the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen knocked out all the Japanese warships on the periphery of Busan to the departure for Edo, it was less than half a month, among them, the speed of the Japanese to transmit the news was not as fast as the speed of the Ming Central Naval Division of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, until the huge Ming Central Naval Division fleet arrived at the beach outside the river and carried out a large-scale killing of the fishermen, the entire Edo Castle fell into despair, because at the same time, the news that the Ming army occupied the entire Shikoku Island and Kyushu Island had just arrived.

Blitzkrieg was a tactic often used by the German army during World War II, which made full use of the quick advantage of aircraft and tanks to defeat the enemy by surprise attack. It is often the communication center where aircraft are used to violently bomb the enemy's important strategic facilities. Blow up enemy planes at airfields. Gain air supremacy. and paralyze the enemy's chain of command.

Blitzkrieg is a surprise attack and a quick attack that will hit the enemy like lightning! It can demoralize the enemy under a sudden threat, so that it will collapse immediately at the first huge blow!

The blitzkrieg theory was coined by Guderian and was originally used in Poland. At 4:45 a.m. on September 1, 1939, the German army, with its 6 armored divisions, 4 light armored divisions and 4 motorized divisions as the main assault force, tore through the defense line of about 800,000 people of the six Polish armies in western Poland. The rapid and in-depth advance of the German armored forces and the air force quickly tore apart and closed the old and huge Polish army until October 5. The Polish campaign was over. The Polish army suffered 66,000 killed, 200,000 wounded, and 694,000 captured, while the Germans suffered only more than 30,000 casualties. Thus a successful completely new tactic was inscribed in the military history of the world.

At the beginning of World War II, Nazi German military strategists created a blitzkrieg, which was fierce and seemingly invincible, conquering Poland in 27 days, Denmark in 1 day, Norway in 23 days, and the Netherlands in 5 days. Conquer Belgium in 18 days and France in 39 days...... Blitzkrieg was indeed a glorious moment. It can be called a classic in the history of war. Blitzkrieg warfare has achieved its war objectives suddenly and quickly with minimal losses with the latest high-tech weapons, and its theoretical charm is still undiminished. Studying the possible evolution of "information-based blitzkrieg" into "information-based blitzkrieg" will help us guard against new blitzkrieg warfare in future wars and look for more opportunities to win in warfare.

Peeling off the coat of blitzkrieg aggression and analyzing it, we will find that it contains a wealth of theories and flashes of enlightenment that transcends historical time and space.

"Time is the army" and "time is victory," and winning time and seizing space is an important part of military confrontation. If you are one step ahead of the enemy in time, you can get the advantage of the opportunity. In the "Barbarossa Plan", the German army advanced in depth to 400~600 kilometers in the territory of the Soviet Union in only 3 weeks, and the reasons for its success were: (1) "timely"; (2) the unexpected location of the main attack; (3) deceptive activity; (4) New tank "tactics".

These points, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's troop transportation has all been done.

The German army's blitzkrieg applied new advantages in military science and technology, relying on the rapid assault of tank clusters, as well as the aerial firepower of aircraft and the high-speed coordination of in-depth airborne and parachute landing, to form a powerful modern "ram hammer." Due to the change in the relationship between time and space, a new operational theory was created, which produced combat effectiveness that was unimaginable to people at the time. Get the maximum impact with the fastest possible maneuver.

An important idea of offensive warfare in "The Art of War" is that soldiers are noble and fast. The book reads: "And then the uncontrollable, speed." And made a beautiful analogy with the rapid impact: "The rush of the water, as for the drifter, the momentum; The disease of the bird, as for the destroyer, the festival also. ”

According to the theory of the mechanics of warfare, the combat effectiveness of an army depends on the strength of troops, mobility and impact force, and the magnitude of mobility and impact force are related to speed, and the faster the speed, the greater the impact force. The blitzkrieg at the beginning of World War II relied on the high-speed and large-depth surprise attacks of the armored group, and the impact force produced was unprecedented in military history.

In the theory of blitzkrieg warfare, the spirit plays a crucial role in the victory of the battle. Its role is mainly reflected in the following two aspects. One is to attack its unpreparedness and surprise it. From Clausewitz in the West to Mao Zedong in the East, many outstanding military strategists paid great attention to the suddenness of operations, pointing out that suddenness and surprise can make up for the lack of troops. The second is deterrence. One of the US military's operational plans for the Iraq War was called Operation "Shock and Awe," but in fact, in the design of blitzkrieg, "shock and awe" was exactly the effect pursued by Hitler and Guderian. In World War II, when Germany launched a blitzkrieg, its tanks were far inferior to those of the British and French forces, and it was even called the "war of the poor", but the "poor" defeated the rich. In the blitzkrieg on the Western Front, a large number of French troops were intimidated and lost their will to fight, and as many as 1.5 million people were captured.

Why did Blitzkrieg have such power in the early days of World War II? Why did the blitzkrieg in World War II end in failure?

The apex theory of Clausewitz's "On War" of the Western "Saint of Soldiers" holds that "victory always and in most cases has a vertex". This "apex" mainly refers to the intensity and limits of operations. Due to the apex of the storage zĂ i, the strong one who launched the attack. Once you reach the apex. It will gradually change from strong to weak. If you pay attention to the strength of the weak defenders, you may gradually become stronger. Although the blitzkrieg has an unprecedented impact force due to its suddenness and high speed, after all, this impact has a limit, and it has a peak after all. The ultimate outcome of a war is not determined solely by the force of impact, but also by many other factors. When the German army penetrated deep into the heart of the Soviet Union and approached Stalingrad, due to the injustice of the war, the harsh natural conditions, and the difficulties of logistical supply lines. In particular, the Soviet military and people's high patriotic enthusiasm, strong national strength, correct strategic command, advanced military theory, and modern army, as well as the support of the United States, Britain, and China, enabled the war of aggression against the Soviet Union to reach its "apex" in Stalingrad and began to fail.

At the same time, we should also see two major shortcomings of the blitzkrieg: first, with the rapid assault and advance of the armored mechanized corps, the main task of penetrating and encircling and annihilating the enemy is completed. This inevitably leads to long supply lines and scattered forces. If, at the time of the encirclement, there is an equally powerful armored mechanized corps in the encirclement to carry out a counter-assault operation against you, it will inevitably break through the encirclement. In the later stages of the "Manstein" plan to attack France, the Anglo-French forces were based on the new French commander-in-chief of the Allied forces on the Western Front, Maxim Frank. A counter-assault operation under the command of Wei Gang. Although the result was a failure, Wei Gang caught one of the major flaws of the blitzkrieg. Second. That is, if the opponent has great strategic depth and has enough ability to absorb and digest the offensive momentum of your blitzkrieg, according to the apex theory of "On War", your apex will be reached in advance. In the middle and late stages of the Soviet-German War in World War II, we can see that the vast territory of the Soviet Union still had a good absorption and digestion effect on Germany's blitzkrieg.

After World War II, although there was no large-scale blitzkrieg like World War II, blitzkrieg can actually be seen everywhere in modern local wars. Especially when modern warfare is plugged into the wings of information technology, the sudden blitzkrieg becomes even more terrifying. Armed with computer technology, the mobility, firepower, and protection of air power have far surpassed those of the armored groups on the ground during World War II, and have embodied many new advantages: the speed and mobility are so strong that the ground defense forces are almost powerless to fight back; The perfect combination of long-range precision strikes with fire, force, and rapid maneuver capabilities has achieved the effectiveness of "moving like thunder", "decapitation", and "shock"; Under the influence of command, control, reconnaissance, and other systems, the energy of air forces has made an unprecedented leap, forming an over-the-horizon combat system that integrates attack and defense, and even plays a decisive role in the fate of war.

What needs to be vigilant is that the "apex of war" in modern warfare has become difficult to use under high technology, and the "non-contact," "non-line," and "non-symmetrical" nature of war has made the room for the weaker side to "defeat the superior with inferiority." So where is the way out to prevent blitzkrieg? The only way to speed up the new military reform is to never lose to the opponent in military thinking, and to make every effort to make the country prosperous in terms of the establishment system, weaponry, education, and training, so as to create an advantage in which the opponent does not dare to act rashly and recklessly, so that the enemy will not have a chance to take advantage of it.

When the blitzkrieg is plugged into the wings of information, we need to plug in the wings of information in our military thinking, not only a change in the noun labeled "information," but also a new, keen, and non-conservative philosophical mind, and a sense of crisis in times of peace, so as to prevent trouble before it happens.

Compared with the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has gradually entered the modern army, the defense of the Japanese is not at the same level as the attack power of the Ming Dynasty.

"Two ironclad ships in a group, starting from the opposite direction, blow up all Japanese ships, I will not allow Japan to have any more shipbuilding industry, I want to make this whole country an island!" Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said to the generals of the Central Naval Division around him.

Compared with the Anglo-Portuguese navy of the Netherlands, the Japanese navy is still at the level of a thousand years ago, although it has obtained a lot of Jose's Franco machine guns, but the Japanese have no ability to manufacture them at all, and the obtained artillery is mostly used in the civil war in the feudal town, and there is no way to supplement it, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen really does not understand, how can such a country dare to send troops to Korea? It seems that in the eyes of this neighbor, Daming is the object that can be hit with his eyes closed! There is no prestige at all, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is going to use this battle to completely change the impression of the Japanese, I don't know who the ancestor is and how to do it?

Kyushu Island used 20,000 militiamen, Shikoku Island used 10,000 militiamen, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen only had 5,000 Imperial Forest Army and more than 20,000 militia, a little more than 30,000 men and horses, he knew that the fight against Edo was the key battle of this trip to Japan, although in the face of successive victories, confidence increased a lot, but ......
