There are five main summaries of the army in East China:

1. Although the Far East War was divided into two battlefields of sea and land, and the two battlefields were equally important, it was the land war that determined the direction of the war and the final victory, because the three parties involved in the war, Russia, East China, and Japan, two of which were mainland countries, and only Japan was a maritime country, and the focus of the tripartite contention was China's three eastern provinces, and only by occupying these places could it be regarded as victory.

Although the end of the Far East War was the total annihilation of the expeditionary fleet by the navy of East China in the Battle of the Taiwan Strait, this was due to the intervention of the British maritime country, and in addition, the overall situation was already determined on the land battlefield at that time, even if the expeditionary fleet wins, Japan and Russia can only guarantee a decent end to the war without compensation, but it is impossible to turn the tables, and the defeat of the expeditionary fleet means that Japan and Russia have lost the last straw, so they can only admit defeat. Therefore, the army is the leader of the war, and the role of the navy is to assist the army, which has great enlightenment significance for East China.

East China ** is landed on the Chinese mainland by sea, plus the first territory on land Shandong Province is a standard peninsula terrain, so it has always paid more attention to the construction of the navy, before the Far East War, the status of the army is lower than the navy, but China is a typical sea and land complex country, with a vast territory and a long coastline, the navy and army must pay equal attention to development, must not be biased to one side, and at this stage, East China ** The main strategic goal was to overthrow the Qing court and occupy the whole country, and the army was even more important.

2. Wartime system. Among the three warring parties, East China is the weakest party in terms of overall national strength, even if it is a war when Japan and Russia have been exhausted, but after all, it is one enemy and two enemies, and the national strength is still not comparable to Japan and Russia, but East China announced the implementation of the wartime system at the beginning of the war, and implemented a system of distribution of major war resources, and domestic production activities are also given priority to supporting the war, which greatly saves social resources, reduces consumption, supports the war, and ensures the supply of war materials.

3. Trench defense. In this war, because it was in the previous Russo-Japanese War, it showed a clear war pattern of attacking the weak and defending the strong, and although Japan, which was on the attacking side, won most of the local wars, the casualties of the army were not less than those of the defeated Russian army, and there were even cases in which the victorious side suffered more casualties than the defeated side.

One of the most typical battles was the Battle of Arthur, in which the Russian army, with 44,000 troops, relied on a defensive position composed of fortresses, trenches, barbed wire, machine guns and artillery to resist the attack of the Japanese army's total of 130,000 troops for more than 5 months, and caused a total of 56,000 casualties to the Japanese army. And the casualties of the Russian army are only 15,000. This battle also showed that it would be a very difficult battle to break through the well-established defensive positions and fortifications, not only to invest many times the enemy's forces, but also to pay heavy casualties even if it was ultimately won.

Although East China participated in the war, it was mainly offensive, but in many local wars, it also fought defensive battles, which was represented by the second battle of the Yalu River, in which the People's Army successfully held the position on the north bank of the Yalu River with the strength of 3 divisions and 2 regiments, and used the fortifications based on trenches, blocking the attack of more than 10 divisions of the Japanese army, causing heavy casualties to Japan, and finally thwarting the momentum of the Japanese army's attempt to counterattack back to the Chinese battlefield. In addition, after the KPA landed in Japan, it also conducted defensive operations.

Fourth, heavy artillery firepower is the key to breaking the trench defense, and offensive firepower is an important factor in breaking through the trench defense. Although in the Russo-Japanese War, the offensive and defensive battles between the two sides were extremely fierce, but after East China entered the war, it seems that it did not encounter much resistance, and the battle attacked by the People's Army did not appear in the situation of a large number of casualties of the Japanese army. In addition to the fact that the KPA was tactically correct and did not blindly attack regardless of casualties like the Japanese army, the main reason was that the KPA had heavy artillery firepower, which was also the key to breaking the trench defense.

Japan was able to win the Battle of Arthur by capturing the 203 Heights outside Arthur and bombarding the 203 Heights on the 203 Heights with the 280 mm caliber guns transported from China, which opened the fortifications of Arthur. However, although the caliber of Japan's 280 mm siege guns is large, the diameter is only 12, so the firing range is less than 10 kilometers, and the accuracy is not high. However, the 280 mm siege gun was too heavy and extremely difficult to carry, and it was difficult for the Japanese to transport the gun to various battlefields in a timely manner.

Before entering the war, East China successfully developed armored trains, using trains as carriers, using railway maneuvers, and successfully moving the navy's large-caliber naval guns to land for use, although not all battlefields are near the railway line, but the speed of building temporary railways is much faster than that of people pulling horses. Armored trains are not only opportunistic, but also have a longer range, among which the 280 mm caliber train guns fire at a 40-degree elevation angle, and the firing range can reach more than 30 kilometers, which is far more powerful than the Japanese 280 mm siege guns. Moreover, the armored train can not only be loaded with the navy's large-caliber naval guns, but also medium and large-caliber naval guns can also be brought ashore for use, so an armored train is equivalent to a mobile battery. It was by relying on the powerful firepower of armored trains that East China broke through the enemy's positions.

In fact, in the Far Eastern War, the KPA's 200-mm vehicle-mounted self-propelled artillery and even the 155-mm towed artillery played a greater role than the armored train, because the self-propelled artillery and towed artillery had a stronger ability and moving speed than the armored train, so they could arrive at the battlefield in time and quickly deploy and launch strikes. However, when it comes to breaking through the enemy's defensive positions, it is still more effective to shoot through the enemy's arranged defensive positions, and the power of Bihao 280mm shells is several times stronger than that of 200mm shells. Moreover, self-propelled artillery and towed artillery are all carriers of modern vehicles, which are secrets that cannot be disclosed, and can only be counted on armored trains.

Of course, in order to break through the trench defense, it is not enough to rely on heavy artillery firepower, after all, although heavy artillery firepower is strong, it is impossible to destroy all defenses, and it is more likely to occupy the formation, so in the end, it is still necessary for the army to launch an offensive in order to completely solve the battle. This requires equipping the attacking forces with powerful firepower.

Although artillery has a history of hundreds of years, because the artillery is too heavy and extremely inconvenient to move, it can generally only be used as fixed firepower in war, and cannot act with the attacking troops, so in this era of land attack, only rifles can be equipped with firepower. The M1897 75mm gun that France painstakingly developed was to solve the problem of accompanying the attacking troops, but although the French engineers made a lot of efforts to reduce the full weight of this type of gun to 1.5 tons, it still required 2 or 30 people to wait, and the uneven ground of the battlefield also brought great difficulties to the movement of this type of artillery; the armored train had a very strong ability to move, but it had to rely on the railway line.

Only the mortar developed by East China, which is a large-caliber mortar, can be regarded as a perfect solution to the problem of insufficient firepower of the offensive, the total weight of a 100 mm mortar does not exceed 100 kg, can be split into 4 parts, the heaviest barrel is only about 60 kg, and the assembly time on the battlefield does not exceed 30 minutes, it can be completely accompanied by the troops and provide fire support. In addition, the mortar's large curve trajectory also has considerable lethality against trenches, so if you want to break through the enemy's trench defense, you must insist on heavy artillery firepower and strengthen the firepower in the offensive, which is also a key training subject for the army in the future.

In fact, if you really want to break through the trench defense, the best weapon is armored vehicles, and with the current level of technology, it is completely possible to create armored vehicles at the level of World War I in the old time and space. However, armored vehicles are a revolutionary weapon that completely changes the tactics of the army, and its subversive effect is more important than that of the battleship Intrepid to the navy.

5. The role of fixed-wing aircraft in aerial reconnaissance and guiding artillery firing. The maximum firing range of the 280 mm caliber train gun is more than 30 kilometers, which is far beyond the visual distance of a person, and even if it can be seen by optical instruments, it is difficult to calculate the accurate distance. At this time, the role of the fixed-wing aircraft is shown, because it is in the air, it can be close to the site of the artillery bombardment to observe, and accurately position, providing corrective parameters for artillery firing.

In addition, fixed-wing aircraft can also play an important role in reconnaissance, and aerial reconnaissance is not limited by geography and terrain, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by enemy scouts or guards, and they can even directly approach the enemy's position for reconnaissance, which is far more efficient than ground reconnaissance. Of course, aerial reconnaissance cannot completely replace ground reconnaissance, after all, the distance in the air is too far, it is difficult to see the details clearly, and it is impossible for aerial reconnaissance to conduct fixed-point reconnaissance for a long time, so aerial reconnaissance and ground reconnaissance should be complementary, but in future wars, the side with aerial reconnaissance capability will undoubtedly have a more powerful reconnaissance capability.

It should be said that East China** Of course, if there are any deficiencies in this summary, it is mainly focused on the tactical level, and not much on the strategic level, and only the first article is regarded as a little bit of a side, and it is not mentioned at all what impact the outcome of the Far Eastern War has on the situation in the Asian region, on the one hand, because this summary and exchange is mainly an analysis of tactics and does not involve strategy; on the other hand, it is also the impact of the results of the Far East War on the Asian region and the world situation, and it will take time to clearly show it, in fact, the war in the Far East had an extremely far-reaching impact on the world situation, which remained until after the First World War.
