Are the intangible elements of leadership, morale, cohesion, and will to fight enough to shake the battlefield of reality?

Until the advent of machines and living weapons that could replace humans on the battlefield and die, the standard answer to this question has always been "yes", "yes", "Oui (yes in French)", "Ja" (yes in German).

After all, no matter whether the guy in his hand is good or bad, it is a human being who operates a weapon with personal will and feelings, not a machine that analyzes the battle situation and shoots targets according to instructions and logic. Usually only the conceptual "will" and "morale" act directly on the person who operates the weapon, and these intangible elements are therefore almost always more important than the material ones. Especially in the special environment of the battlefield, where chance and uncertainty are maximized, mental elements often create unexpected situations. This is also the modern army's efforts to cultivate those intangible qualities -- morale, overall discipline, and troop cohesion -- through queue training (cultivating the spirit of automatic obedience), speeches, military songs and flags (to stimulate a sense of honor), military uniforms and daily operations, and reward and punishment measures.

Having said all this, it seems that there is a suspicion of overemphasizing "spiritual combat power", which is completely questioned by Charlemagne's royal army. It is true that sometimes mental strength can help troops overcome material difficulties, but it would be naïve and naïve to think that morale alone can defeat the enemy and become invincible. But ignoring the impact of the spiritual element on war is equally unrealistic.

The war is won or lost by who can hold out for the last five minutes – a maxim of Napoleon I that works most of the time.

You must know that the US military, which has always appeared as "greedy for life and afraid of death" and "cannot fight a war without high technology," made its European predecessors who had fought for thousands of years marvel at the fact that "Americans can be so cruel in killing each other." In the famous Battle of Midway, American carrier-based pilots continued to fly forward despite the lack of return fuel until they sank the main force of Nagumo's mobile force. At this time, the US military was not superior in terms of technical equipment.

In another case, the Iraqi army, which is also regarded as "cowardly", can fight as brilliant as the Battle of Khafji if it is properly commanded. The Multinational Force Command, which was not optimistic about the effect of the air strikes, even regarded the Iraqi army in Kuwait as a strong enemy after the war, and even prepared as many as 100,000 body bags for this purpose.

Although it is impossible for spiritual combat strength to reach the level of an "invincible spiritual atomic bomb," it is indeed capable of swaying the battlefield and influencing both the enemy and us.

- Especially the special existence called "hero".

(Shotgun salvo)

In the corner of the field of vision, an encrypted command flashed, and the 24 MDSs entrenched in the sky, a total of 2 squadrons, descended a barrage towards the white spirit beasts below.

The difference in height on the battlefield directly determines life and death.

The side that occupies the high ground is more likely to observe the enemy below and have more tactical options. It has a gravitational potential energy bonus when launching a dive attack, and both the dive speed and the kinetic energy of the projectile are more powerful than when they are horizontal. On the other hand, the side that is in the climb will be stumped by gravity, and more power must be lost to get rid of gravity, and the speed and projectile power will be reduced accordingly.

If multiple enemy planes occupy a high altitude and fire at a concentrated fire, even if the target is only the size of a humanoid, the probability of survival can only be summed up as "nine deaths and one life."

If you add anti-aircraft fire from the ground, it can only be called "ten deaths".

An all-round attack without any gaps, let alone a living person, even a fly could not survive through the storm built up by nearly a thousand shells, shrapnel, steel balls, and arrow-shaped projectiles.

It is impossible to survive.

It is even more impossible to pass.

This is an absolute wall based on reason and intellect, built with formulas and rules of thumb, and an obstacle that cannot be overcome by a single passion or three-legged cat technique.

- That's how it should be.

"That guy ......"

The trills ran through the radio, and the thermostat could not stop the cold sweat from pouring out of the body, let alone organize the incredible surprise that slipped down to hysteria.

"What the hell is that white guy?!"

"This is the Viper squadron, call CP, please send brigade level reinforcements immediately. ”

"CP received, the support force has departed, please maintain the defensive line, be sure not to let the enemy plane break through the encirclement network!"

"This is the Pixe brigade, about to enter the battlefield...... What's that?!Monster?"

Confusion and vacillation were spreading among the Shoshi, and the CP (command post) crouching in the rear could also feel the abnormal aura boiling in the air.

Among the many Xiangmen, not all of them were rookies who had only strafed ground targets or slow-swallowing targets such as flying beasts, but many of them were strong men who competed with their brother units in the all-army confrontation exercise and achieved excellent results and rankings. Even if there were three times as many enemy troops flying on the opposite side, they would have the ability and confidence to send the other side to Valhalla in pieces.

This enemy is different.

Speed, defense, firepower - all indicators are above the main standard of the defense force, MDS "Kenpfa", even with an absolute disadvantage of 1:24, the fiery horse can still dance as light as gravity in the fire net. Its sturdy defense ignores the rainstorm of shotguns and stray bullets - even if the shotgun is aimed at surface killing, and the penetration is slightly insufficient, it can still penetrate 12mm armor, and if you change to a bean chariot drenched in this all-metal storm, it can be turned into a sieve on the spot. As for firepower...... Even in front of a particle beam that can be broken on the spot by brushing, there is not much difference between rockets, large-caliber machine guns, machine guns, and burning sticks.

And that's not even the scariest of all.

This guy ...... Is it really human?

Such a thought appeared in the hearts of the Shoshi at the scene.

It's true that the white body moves quickly, but it's not that it can't be captured, and it's not out of reach to shoot with a preset advance. What really ensured that he was safe and sound under the hail of bullets was that the guy had insight into the rhythm and changed the rhythm at the moment when the opponent "overflowed with killing intent" and pulled the trigger, so that he could dodge the attack.

Through the armor, you can feel the "breath" of the enemy, predict the opponent's movements, and evade and counterattack.

This is not something that humans can do, nor is it something that any kind of intelligence can do.

This is the domain of monsters.

"Attention to all planes, attention to all planes! Immediately change the stronghold strategy and use the surgical bullet! Repeat, immediately change the stronghold strategy and use the surgical bullet! Make every effort to eliminate the symbol of the enemy's counterattack! Make every effort to eliminate the symbol of the enemy's counterattack!"

The voice made by the CP no longer hesitated, and there was no room for room before.

For the first time, the defenders, who had always had the upper hand, showed their agitation.
