In the past, most of the battles were fought in frontal positional warfare, and the superiority of the South Navy's artillery was all medium- and large-caliber guns of more than 75 mm.

Now, these rapid-fire mortars and 75mm infantry guns are used to provide artillery support in skirmishes, and although it seems that the shelling scene is not large, there are not many enemies.

Dozens of shells were enough to suppress the small enemy forces on the opposite side.

This situation has made the top leaders of the South China Navy see the solution to the problem of insufficient firepower of the front-line infantry.

In the past, the divisional artillery of the South China Navy was mainly 75-mm field guns and 75-mm howitzers, and even if it was a division-affiliated 75-mm howitzer, in fact it was a very heavy thing, and it was not suitable for dispersing to battalion and company-level units to support operations.

But rapid-fire mortars, as well as light seventy-five-mm howitzers, did not have such problems.

Not to mention rapid-fire mortars, this thing has always been the support firepower of the front-line infantry of the Southern Navy, and the scale of equipment is getting larger and larger, and the performance is getting better and better, although the effective range is still less than a kilometer, but this effective range has exceeded the effective range of rifles, and even exceeded the effective range of most field smoothbore guns.

In most cases, it is used to directly attack enemy targets from a distance, and if necessary, it can also attack enemy trenches.

The light 75 mm howitzer, which was specially developed by the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau and provided to the battalion and regimental infantry units as their own support firepower, was aimed at the two-pound and three-pound artillery that accompanied the infantry in the previous line era of the Daheng Army.

Its weight is only more than 200 kilograms, and its effective range is about 1,800.

This range is longer than the effective range of almost all smoothbore guns, and in terms of weight, it can be pulled by any horse, and if necessary, a person can drag it away.

How can I say it, this thing is such a thing made by the Southern Navy when the divisional artillery cannot quickly maneuver and provide direct support along with the infantry action.

It is to be able to have artillery support even when the battalion and regimental level troops, especially the battalion-level troops, are separated from the main force and act independently, without the artillery support of the division.

So this thing is not equipped to the regiment, but directly attached to the infantry battalion.

There are not many, only one battalion, but this light 75-millimeter infantry gun is enough for the battalion-level troops of the Southern Navy to directly receive artillery support.

Just imagine, when the enemy thinks that you only have a few hundred people, or you are still acting alone, there will definitely be no artillery support.

However, at this time, this infantry battalion of the Yugoslav Navy pulled out a serious artillery piece and shelled the enemy at a distance of 1,800 meters, and when the enemy rushed within 1,000 meters, it shelled again with rapid-fire mortars at 7 or 800 meters.

That scene was not much worse than when it was in a large-scale operation, when it was bombarded by the South China Navy several kilometers away.

With the emergency equipment of these light artillery, although it has not been equipped on a large scale for the time being, and only some of the small-scale experimental equipment is used, the actual combat effect is very good, and Lin Ziran has instructed the Ordnance Department to increase the production of this kind of infantry artillery and transfer it to the next door on a large scale as soon as possible.

After all, these light artillery pieces can better reflect the superiority of the command system and new tactics of the South China Navy.

Strictly speaking, the command system of the Yugoslav Navy and the new light infantry tactics and equipment are more suitable for this kind of small- and medium-sized mobile operations with the cooperation of multiple troops.

On the other hand, Yuan Yonghan and Xia Yiming are much worse.

Although they took the initiative to fight small- and medium-scale mobile warfare, it is obvious that their troop system is actually not suitable for dealing with this kind of mobile warfare.

This kind of small- and medium-sized mobile operations have very strict requirements on the command system of the troops, and the three-level command system of divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads, especially the grass-roots units, is not for the sake of viewing, but can play a major role in combat command.

And these troops in Dongdingzhou, the command system and organization of their troops, are still stuck in the era of online operations, and playing queuing and shooting is what they are best at.

Before that, they switched to playing large-scale skirmishers, which was almost their limit.

Now the troops are still scattered to fight, and the battle mode has changed from a large frontal battlefield in the past to a battle line formed by the interweaving of many points, and the battle is often a line, and battles occur at each point in this line, and the scale of these points is often only a few dozen people, or about a hundred people.

This poses a major challenge to their command system and organizational system.

There is no doubt that they are simply not able to cope with their current situation, and they do not even have enough officers, to put it mildly.

In the past, a company of more than 100 people only needed one company commander as an officer, and if it was dead, an adjutant would be added.

However, in the current kind of decentralized mobile operations, a company needs at least three or even four officers to command......

What to do without an officer, you can only replace it with a sergeant.

But a sergeant is never a substitute for an officer.

This is also the reason why the South Navy is currently fighting in the north of Dongdingzhou, and it is not very accustomed to fighting, but it can still achieve frequent victories.

Because the Southern Navy is not very suitable for this kind of battle, but it can still fight, and Xia Yiming and Yuan Yonghan's troops are even more unsuitable and cannot fight.

So while fighting, Yuan Yonghan and the others found out: There is no use for eggs!

The expected small-scale maneuver operations simply failed to achieve the desired combat results, and the casualties of the troops were still heavy due to the continuous loss of territory and territory.

And there are many more serious problems, that is, once many troops are dispersed, they cannot be recovered......

Lacking perfect organizational ability and command system, after scattering dozens or hundreds of troops, many troops were unable to effectively command at all, and they did not know where to run while fighting.

What's more, I went directly to the Southern Navy to surrender!

There are also many who see that there are no friendly troops around, so they just throw away their uniforms and run away.

The number of deserters who surrendered turned out to be several times more than the number of killed.

This battle can't be fought!

It's not as good as the frontal dead quilts before.

Although it is possible to be wiped out by a wave, it is also a decent resistance, at least, Yuan Yonghan and they can still know that the troops are there, even if they surrender.

But now, Yuan Yonghan didn't even know where his troops were now......

After fighting this, Yuan Yonghan found that the troops he could still control and command had changed from nearly 100,000 to tens of thousands, and now, when the First Cavalry Corps of the Southern Navy was only a few kilometers away from him, there were only a few thousand soldiers left under his control......

What about the 100,000 army, all dead?

How is it possible, no matter how powerful the South Korean Navy is, it is impossible to kill and injure so many enemy troops in such a multi-point skirmish in just a few days, and people will be able to run, and they will not be stupid enough to stay far away and let you be shot one by one!

If this is the case, the Southern Navy is estimated to have killed or injured 10,000 or 20,000 enemy troops, including Xia Yiming's department, and Yuan Yonghan's department, which is estimated to be a few thousand, and will definitely not exceed 10,000 people.

All surrendered?

It is even more unlikely, this is not an encirclement and annihilation operation, and it is impossible to have a large-scale centralized surrender.

Deserter?

It's impossible, no matter how bad the troops under his command are, they won't all be deserters.

Even if all the above possibilities are combined, even if there are tens of thousands of people, but there are still tens of thousands of people?

The real answer is: they still exist, there are no casualties, no deserters, no surrenders, and some of them are still fighting!

But Yuan Yonghan didn't know that they were fighting there......

This battle of Dongdingzhou, especially in the following ten days, was mainly concentrated in small and medium-sized mobile battles in the central and northern regions of Dongdingzhou.

The South China Navy fought a war that it was not very good at, but still won a great victory.

And the coalition of Yuan Yonghan and Xia Yiming fought a war that was inexplicable until defeat!

On September 19, the Southern Navy captured Xia Yiming's last stronghold and completely smashed the state-wide organized resistance in Dongdingzhou!

And at this time, it seems that overnight, the eyes of the world are turned to Dongdingzhou!
