The emergence of new tactics in war is generally accompanied by the use of new weapons, and a large number of new weapons appeared during World War II, so tactics are updated and varied according to the use of weapons.

However, the Japanese army's offensive tactics seem to have always been the same, with aircraft and artillery bombing, armored troops rushing, and infantry going last.

Not once, change positions, and do it again.

Is the Japanese army too reliant on advanced weapons? Or is it the commander's always too strict personality? Qin Guogang: They don't know.

But he and Tan Yizhong, veterans of the Battle of Songhu, knew that the low-level officers and soldiers of the Japanese army were very flexible in the implementation of tactics.

The tactics of the Japanese squad were very slippery, and many small units constantly overtook the attack, flanked the attack, interspersed and divided, and attacked in a combined attack.

The hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops who had retreated from the Battle of Songhu were extremely embarrassed and even suffered heavy losses, and many large troops were beaten to the point of being scattered, collapsed and fled.

Perhaps it is because of the different combat areas, which leads to the different use of combat technology, the Japanese Central China Front mainly fights in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River valley and the national army.

The terrain in this area is relatively complex and changeable, with mountains and hills, river networks, plains and lakes, and mountains and rivers.

The Japanese North China Front, on the other hand, mainly fought on the North China Plain, and most of them were plains except for the mountains, and the terrain was relatively simple, so it was very suitable for the deployment and maneuver of mechanized troops.

Another point is combat experience, the Japanese Central China Front and the Chinese army fought many bloody battles in Songhu and Nanjing, and suffered many blows, so the troops will be more flexible and mobile.

However, the Japanese North China Front suffered almost no major blows, and did not go through any bloody and hard battles, and the entire northeast was fully occupied without firing a few shots.

At the time of the September 18 Incident, the Japanese army had a railway garrison of more than 300 people, and took down Shenyang, an important town in the northeast, and seized the largest arsenal in the country at that time, which contained high-precision weapons such as cannons and automobiles.

More than 260 fighters, all of which became trophies of the Japanese army, you know, in 1931, there were only 330 fighters in Japan.

It is estimated that the bullets that are now hitting the Chinese are still produced by the Shenyang Arsenal in those years.

Several provinces in North China, that is, there have been several fierce battles inside and outside the Great Wall, and most of the others are rabbits.

For example, when the capture of Rehe Province was captured, less than a large group of Japanese troops actually drove away 100,000 troops. In less than a month, the whole province was knocked down.

Think about it from another perspective, the Great Northeast with an area of more than one million square kilometers, which is larger than the four Japans, occupied it within half a year without a few battles, how can it not make the Japanese army excited and proud?

How not to let the Japanese army despise and despise the Chinese army? How not to make Japan's appetite grow?

If the fight continues at this rate, it really won't take three months to destroy China, but fortunately, the Chinese high command avoids the North China Plain and fights with the Japanese mechanized troops, and pours all the strength of the whole country into a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Shanghai.

However, the battle of Songhu is mixed, from a tactical point of view, it really should not be fought, Shanghai is close to the sea, surrounded by water on three sides, and the plain area belongs to the defensive dead place in the war.

In the face of the Japanese army bombed by warships, heavy artillery and aircraft, the Chinese army held the battle of Shanghai very badly, and if the hundreds of thousands of elites in Shanghai were to defend step by step on the three defense lines, they would not have been defeated so badly.

From a strategic point of view, however, Shanghai was the largest city in China at the time, the largest port to the outside world, an important source of government revenue and taxes, and a large number of foreign concessions.

Therefore, this war is not just a simple war, but it is fought for the sake of international influence, for the sake of its own economic resources, and it is still to be fought even though it is known that it will be difficult to win.

Knowing that you can't do it, how helpless and painful it is.

However, although the bloody battle in Shanghai won international sympathy, sympathy has various purposes, Japan is a strong country, and everyone is unwilling to tear their faces to offend Japan, especially for the sake of a weak China, it is not worth offending.

Therefore, the country and the army have paid a lot of elites, in order to win the sympathy of the international community, hoping that they will intervene, which is almost naturally in vain.

At the same time, it failed to keep the port of Shanghai, and the economic resources of the state government were reduced a lot at once, which was indeed a very cost-effective business.

Afterwards, some people attributed it to the fact that the indignant youths at that time kept asking the government to go to war, saying that with the momentum of rapid economic development in the golden decade at that time, it was estimated that Japan would be able to defeat Japan if it dragged on for another five or ten years.

This kind of afterthought remarks is simply standing and talking without backache, if you develop, people will not develop Japan, and if you develop rapidly, it is just that your economic base is poor, so on the surface, the data is very gratifying.

However, Japan's economic base is large, even if the data is average, but in calculation, it is still larger than China, and the longer the time drags on, the greater the gap between China and Japan.

Moreover, Japan has invaded China's rich northeast, used China's resources to fight China, fed the war with war, and siphoned out China's blood to fight China.

At present, the Japanese army in North China still wants to learn from the historical Yuan army and the Qing army, and is planning to go south in one fell swoop, destroy the power and power of the Han people, and become the third alien race to rule China.

In such a crisis of national extinction, we really have to thank the military as the commander-in-chief of the government, which dared to resist and dare to say no to Japan, which was so powerful that it was suffocating and terrifying.

At that time, the literati and high-ranking officials were in mourning, and most of them believed that they should not make a senseless struggle against Japan, and in the end they could not escape the fate of being wiped out. The representative of this is Vice Chairman Wang, who later became the number one traitor in China.

And Lao Jiang, who was born in the military, even though he had many problems and wrongs before, the national spirit he showed at this moment and the hard-headed temperament of a soldier were indeed the fighting spirit that 40,000 compatriots needed.

In the past, so many local warlords and powerful bigwigs have always looked down on the young "little Jiang" who has little qualifications, and they are unwilling to be ruled by him, and they keep opposing Chiang.

After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, almost no one opposed him, everyone put down their bodies and were willing to cooperate with him, or even be ruled by him, precisely because they liked him and dared to argue with the powerful Japanese army.

Therefore, from a positive point of view, although China paid a huge and heavy price for the tragic War of Resistance Against Japan, it also helped the backward Chinese who were scattered at that time to unite together.

At the same time, it has also accelerated the rapid upgrading of China's armed forces, weapons, and even operational thinking, and has become one of the world's military powers. After hundreds of years of oppression, the Chinese nation has returned to the forest of powerful nations in the world.
