??????????????????? But this one requirement laid the foundation for China¡¯s army to become a strong country - it saved so many detours and saved so much research funds! For modern people who are familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of various tank operations during World War II, China, a country with a traditional army, is particularly suitable for impact with numbers.
Isn¡¯t the most advanced and awesome German ¡°Tiger¡± tank in history overwhelmed by the backward Soviet tanks all over the mountains and plains? Imagine thousands of tanks roaring forward, flanked by your comrades, and you will know that there is no need or time to "bloom on all sides."
The role of tanks lies in strategic detours. In the middle of the rolling torrent of steel, how many people can be bold or have the opportunity to resist individually? Not to mention the infantry following?
The outstanding performance of the T-20 on the battlefield in Guandong Prefecture strengthened Zhang Hanqing's determination to continue to follow the independent and "advanced" path of tank development, and he also deeply understood the meaning of "knowledge is power".
Although the People's Army's offensive was overwhelming, the Japanese's huddled formation still worked.
Although Zhang Hanqing fully understands the tenacity of Japanese soldiers, it is really unimaginable how tenacious they are. Today's younger generation's understanding of history is, in many ways, influenced by post-liberation movies, dramas, novels and other literary and artistic works.
In it, I especially like to describe how Japanese soldiers are good at hand-to-hand combat and bayonet fighting. It seems that the more powerful the Japanese are, the more they can highlight the bravery and good fighting skills of our army.
As for the performance techniques and bloody scenes that portray the Japanese soldiers as very weak-minded and incompetent, on the surface they seem to be vilifying the Japanese soldiers, but in Zhang Hanqing's view, they are an insult to the Chinese anti-Japanese war soldiers and civilians - even such Isn't it the biggest verification of my own incompetence that I have been fighting against an "incompetent" opponent for eight years?
Writing this way, although the artistic appeal will be stronger, and based on the experience of the People's Army on the battlefield of "Kwantung Prefecture", it is true that the Japanese army's "bushido spirit" is stubborn, but from the perspective of military struggle, this is not really the most important thing. , the most important thing is that the Japanese army is very good at "efficient combat."
After all, the tank offensive was limited. On the vast battlefield, after defeating the main force of the Japanese army and disrupting its organic command system, the Japanese army had to fall into a bitter fight of its own.
The situation is overwhelmingly favorable for the Chinese army. Even a group of senior commanders of the People's Army and senior staff members of the General Staff who participated in, watched, and supervised the war all thought invariably after listening to the continuous battlefield reports: Japan Soldiers are nothing more than this.
But the well-trained Japanese soon taught the People¡¯s Army a vivid lesson, at the cost of their lives.
From the equipment point of view, the firepower of the People's Army is very powerful (the first batch of people to participate in the war are the essence of the People's Army, so the equipment is very good). One of their reinforced battalions can actually be equipped with 6 mountain guns and field guns, 2 heavy machine guns, and each company is equipped with 2 to 3 mortars. Each squad is not only equipped with light machine guns, but also equipped with 2 automatic rifles. It's what we often call a "turntable gun."
A rough estimate shows that an ordinary infantry battalion of the People's Army can fire at least twice the firepower per unit time as an infantry battalion of the Japanese army at that time.
However, if we look at the casualties caused by the same firepower to the enemy, the People's Army is far less than twice that of the Japanese army. Therefore, the People's Army at that time had strong "combat capability" but low "combat efficiency" .
The Japanese army is different. In fact, the Japanese army's equipment is far inferior to that of the People's Army. For example, they have almost no automatic rifles and no company heavy machine guns, so the Japanese army's firearms fire speed is not high.
However, the rough estimates of commanders at all levels on the battlefield (which may of course be very inaccurate) are that if the People's Army may kill and injure 5 enemy soldiers for every 100 bullets fired by the Japanese army, then the Japanese army may kill and injure 10 or even 20 soldiers with 100 bullets. The People's Army, that is to say, the combat efficiency of the Japanese army at that time was more than double that of the People's Army.
The reason why the Japanese army has high "combat efficiency" is due to many factors: the existing soldiers are well trained individually and shoot accurately.
For example, the grenade that the Japanese love to use is actually a simple grenade launcher. There is no need for any shooting settings, but the Japanese soldiers can shoot very accurately. You can't help but admire it.
The People's Army often used battalion-level forces to besiege or attack small Japanese company-level units. The Japanese army could well demonstrate its good qualities before being completely annihilated. Also, as mentioned just now, the Japanese "bushido spirit" made them He is very tenacious on the battlefield and can put a lot of mental pressure on his opponents.
In fact, there is another reason: the People's Army has not yet encountered such a tenacious opponent.
During the civil war, the opponents were all warlords from various places. In terms of equipment or morale, few could surpass the People's Army., and the People's Army also has a huge advantage, that is, Zhang Hanqing has a very strong strategic view and is basically invincible.
In large-scale battles, the opponent basically loses fighting spirit after a stalemate for a period of time because the situation is over. Beating up the lost dog can only boost morale, but will not promote the cultivation of military literacy.
The German advisory group has played a great role in cultivating the combat literacy of the People's Army, but talking about war on paper and real front-line combat are completely different, and many recruits have begun to be completely confused. In this way, when encountering the first generation of well-trained Japanese soldiers, the shortcomings of the People's Army's lack of combat experience were exposed.
The Japanese army fought extremely tenaciously. Not only was the scale of the battle relatively small, but its firearms were often severely damaged before they were annihilated, so very few were captured in each battle.
In addition, Japanese soldiers who believed in the "spirit of Bushido" went to the battlefield as if they had drunk chicken blood and were not afraid of death, and often fought until the last moment. In this way, capturing Japanese soldiers would risk being attacked and injured.
Anyway, there is currently no international convention on the status of prisoners of war, not to mention that although wounded soldiers have partially lost their combat capabilities, they can still cause fatal harm to the People's Army. People are going to fight to the death, so why force it and cause casualties among their own people?
In addition, the opponent's refusal to surrender will also give our own army a strong understanding: once captured unilaterally, there will be no good fruits to eat, and it can stimulate the original bloody nature in the battle, but it will be death anyway.
Therefore, the People's Army Headquarters issued a special order: "There is no need to specifically capture prisoners, so as to allow the Japanese army to die as a manifestation of respecting the opponent's final will!"
Therefore, the number of Japanese prisoners of war on the battlefield in Guandong Prefecture was very small. Post-war statistics showed that all the prisoners were seriously wounded who could not take care of themselves. This is a digression.
Fortunately, at the beginning of the battle, the Japanese heavy weapons battlefield had been "mopped up" by the People's Army Air Force, and the People's Army reduced a lot of losses. Coupled with the "elusive" attack of the tank troops, the large Japanese army was quickly cut into dozens of pieces. Looking at the overall situation, the advantage is already on the side of the People's Army.
Zhang Hanqing¡¯s previous training for the generals of the People¡¯s Army was effective: to fight against the Japanese army, one must try his best to find opportunities to fight against the Japanese army¡¯s isolated and helpless troops. Most people know the common sense of dividing, encircling and annihilating the enemy. In the battle between the Communist Party and the Kuomintang army, this can usually be done relatively easily, even for its main force.
But it¡¯s very difficult to deal with the Japanese army.
As mentioned before, the Japanese army not only has strong individual combat capabilities, but also has good coordination and cooperation between troops. Whether it is infantry and artillery coordination or internal coordination of small-scale groups, squads (cao), and squads, all training Well prepared.
Even on battlefields where the main force has been divided, once the People's Army fights with the Japanese army, it can be seen almost every time: once the opponent's troops are attacked, they can quickly deploy and use the fastest movements to form a cross-fire cover between individual soldiers. , and mutual cover between infantry and artillery.
"Once the Japanese army formed a battlefield coordination, there was basically no blind spot for shooting. It would be very difficult to intersperse and separate them, and sometimes it was even impossible.
Therefore, after the war, it was concluded that to fight against the Japanese army, it was necessary to attack them with great suddenness and then separate them quickly to avoid battlefield coordination.
During the Battle of Guandong Prefecture, the Japanese soldiers fell into a situation that was not conducive to them. There were several main reasons: First, the Japanese army's early operations were relatively smooth. They had never encountered such a main force with extremely strong combat effectiveness in the Northeast Continent, and they were a little careless;
Second, it is because the People¡¯s Army launched its attack very suddenly and moved across the battlefield extremely quickly;
Third, the People's Army's equipment far exceeds that of the Japanese army, so it will soon be divided into isolated units;
Of course there is another most important reason: there are many people¡¯s soldiers. As the saying goes, "It is difficult for a good tiger to fight a pack of wolves." Once the morale of the Chinese army improves, the advantage of large numbers of people will become a factor that cannot be underestimated. Otherwise, how could Mao Zedong say "There is strength in numbers".
The Japanese are still very tenacious. After experiencing the initial confusion, shock, and confusion, batches of middle- and lower-level officers who had lost contact with their superiors automatically replaced their superiors' orders, summoned soldiers scattered everywhere, and quickly carried out on-the-spot operations. Resisting step by step showed excellent battlefield qualities.
The Japanese soldiers also showed great tenacity, and their fearless spirit was no less than that of the best people's officers and soldiers.
But the People's Army on the opposite side is also an excellent soldier who has been trained in bloody storms. They also come with the determination to die and the belief that they must win. The large number of people, coupled with the determination and superior equipment, boosted the momentum of the entire army. Therefore, the Japanese have encountered opponents as tough as them in history.
The Japanese officers and soldiers fought for their lives, and the Chinese soldiers did not hesitate to die. Gradually, the battle entered a fever pitch.
"But everyone has a life. Even if there is a one-on-one loss, China's advantages are becoming more and more obvious. Although the Japanese officers and soldiers in the encirclement were resisting stubbornly, the number of friendly forces was getting smaller and smaller, the enemy's firepower was getting more and more intense, and news of losses in positions came from time to time, which made them feel that this battle was a disaster.
However, they were all the elite of the Japanese army. They were defeated but not in chaos, and they retreated southward step by step. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com), gradually entered a fever pitch.
