The attack of the 3rd Division was also exposed by mines and flares, and the 2nd Division launched the same pig assault, but the 3rd Division's artillery suppression and infantry artillery coordination was really bad, the artillery cover firing was almost over, and the Japanese troops who attacked were still entangled between the minefield and the barbed wire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Either the Shosha machine gun in his hand and the MG machine gun of the Germans were fired, although the Germans were defenseless, but it was impossible to break through in a short time. This is a physical gap that cannot be changed by will alone.

And Terauchi Shouichi's first division attack speed is decent, although not as fast as Suzuki Takao, but it is also much smoother than the third division's attack, he is the first Japanese officer to integrate the British tank into the attacking force, although the assault ability of the tank at night is very bad, but as a forward direct fire point, it is still quite powerful, after all, the combat effectiveness of the 57MM cannon is much stronger than the infantry artillery, although the speed is not fast, but it is more stable, after removing several support points with flat-fire artillery, On the contrary, the attack surface of the temple division is the widest!

"Okay, don't worry, judging from the current offensive characteristics of the opponent, this should be the Japanese army that has just arrived on the battlefield, not the British and French troops, so let's not worry at all, let's summarize the intelligence, and then analyze the combat methods of these Japanese troops." The commander-in-chief of the German defense forces, Hans. Feng. Major General Seckert lifted his eyes and said unhurriedly. I didn't take the firefight outside into account at all.

"The idea of the Japanese is really unexpected, they chose to launch a sneak attack at night, which caught us a little off guard, which is certain, they can smoothly pass through our cordon and the first line of defense in the middle of the night, but it doesn't matter, our defense system is mainly characterized by greater depth, and the gains and losses of the surface positions are not important."

"The Japanese were very sharp in their central attack (the 2nd Division) and to be honest, I was a little surprised by their artillery preparation, quite a few of the guns fired at very close range, and they were aimed at the artillery, and I would love to know how they did it if I could. However, no matter how light the artillery is, it is still artillery, and the ammunition is also a big burden, and the Japanese should not have too many long-range artillery, so for us, the offensive of the other side will not last. ”

"As for the slowest troops? Well, they don't have to worry, because I don't see any merit in this force, a unit that lacks firepower, starts a sneak attack and does not achieve a breakthrough, is entangled with the opponent's cordon, and can't open the situation for half a day has no future. We can leave it alone for the time being. "For Utsunomiya Taro's Third Division, Major General Seckert didn't mean to pay attention at all. In his opinion, this level is also the level of the Russians. There is no need to worry about what flowers will be turned over.

"What really needs to be concerned is this force, it seems that they acted with the armored forces of the British?" Seckert asked the staff officer next to him.

"Yes, although the British tanks did not try to pass through our trenches and lines during the night, their direct fire caused us a lot of problems, and if nothing else, after daybreak, the Japanese occupied the surface positions, and then the British tanks would have come to kill."

"Compared with the Japanese army in the middle, I feel that the threat of this army is greater!" General Seckert tapped heavily on the map.

Although Seckert's troops were not elite troops, otherwise they would have been pulled to the vicinity of Paris to confront the Anglo-French forces, and his 19th Army was half an additional unit, and the equipment was not too good. But no matter how bad it is, there is still an armored battalion. And Hans. Feng. Seckert used to be the chief of the General Staff of the First Army, and his theoretical and practical tactical literacy was definitely sufficient, at least before he was decentralized, he had experienced all the battles that Kruger had fought. In terms of actual combat level, it is much higher than those Japanese who fought in the Russo-Japanese War, and sometimes the actual combat experience is not based on how long it has been fought, but on who it has fought against!

In fact, in Seckert's view, this was a complete diversionary operation, and perhaps neither the British nor the Germans, with the exception of the Japanese, believed that Japan was capable of erasing the breach. Originally, Seckert's boss, Duke Albrecht of Württemberg, had not prepared a reserve division for him as a reserve, but now, in Seckert's opinion, it seems that if it is purely defensive, it is not necessary.

Because in Hans. Feng. In Seckert's eyes, although the Japanese army's attack has been outstanding in tactics so far, from the perspective of the overall environment, this is already half of the loss! In his view, Japan has overemphasized the importance of sneak attacks, ignoring other important battlefield factors.

Hans. Feng. Seckert once communicated with the Bavarian Legion, and he was very impressed by what the prince said, "The war is won by the right coincidence!" This strange word, Seckert originally thought that it relied on stratagem, but later, the prince's interpretation was that it was a margin, or it could become an ambush and a reserve. The correct understanding of this sentence is that in addition to conventional means on the battlefield, it is necessary to leave a reserve force to withstand the overall situation at a critical moment. Judging from these six words, there is no consideration for too many crooked ways at all. For a battle that can't be done all at once, if you want to rely on some cleverness to win, you can only say that you think too much!

After all, the current war is very mature. If you want to go all out, it is almost impossible to directly kill the opponent with the advantage of a certain aspect! In particular, the Japanese are not very clever in his opinion. Isn't it just a night sneak attack? Do Europeans really not know about poor visibility when it's dark?

Small-scale sneak attacks, Britain and France have done it, taking advantage of the darkness before dawn to launch an attack, Britain and France have also done it, but why not do it in the middle of the night? The reason is very simple, Britain and France both believe that the probability of success is not high! A sneak attack at night, if you are engaged in an encounter, the probability of success is indeed high, but if you attack the long-operating line of a modern army? That's a lot to think about!

Why did the attack on Verdun choose 8 o'clock in the morning in history? Why did the Anglo-French Battle of the Somme also choose early in the morning? The reason is very simple, the attacker is generally very well prepared, at least in terms of technical arms and troops, there must be a local advantage before the attack, in the dark night or bad weather, the defender's firepower is naturally weakened, and the attacker is also weakened, and don't forget, you were originally the dominant side.
