Chapter 954: End 1

The German army, like a gray tide, crushed the resistance of the Japanese army at a rapid speed, and in Europe, which had entered the era of automatic weapons and heavy artillery, the bravery and fearlessness of the Japanese army during ......the Russo-Japanese War had limited significance except for making the other side feel a little uncomfortable psychologically. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info What's more, the Japanese army during the Taisho period was far from being as rigid as it was during the Showa period, and when they found out that they were surrounded by menacing German troops, it was not an unacceptable thing to throw away their weapons and surrender.

In addition to the Germans in front, the Germans who held on to the support points also became a nightmare for the Japanese army, these soldiers took advantage of the advantage of being familiar with the terrain to sneak away, elite special marksmen shot opponents in hidden personal bunkers, and large companies used the terrain and reversed positions to ambush the retreating Japanese troops, and the German defense line that seemed to have been penetrated was reunited at this moment! A huge encirclement encircled most of the Japanese troops in it.

The only regret is that it seems that he did not catch a general ...... the level of a Japanese general.

"The three divisions of the Japanese army suffered about 15,000 to 18,000 casualties and prisoners. More than half of the troops were not withdrawn. As for the artillery pieces destroyed, it was probably around 60 to 70 pieces. "The staff officer sent the collected war report to Hans. Feng. In front of Major General Seckert. And the latter just nodded slightly, signaling that the latter could go down, and now, he was thinking about a question, how to write a summary of the battle this time, .......

Major General Seckert's plan succeeded, and it was definitely a big victory in terms of the annihilated Japanese forces, but the whole process and results were still somewhat lackluster...... To put it bluntly, Major General Seckert felt that he had hit a rotten cabbage with an iron fist, and then the cabbage turned into a puddle of mud, and as a warrior, he naturally would not boast about how ...... he was to beat the cabbage. Well, the Japanese were so weak in combat that they gave Major General Seckert a feeling that they should have won.

"The Japanese are not adapted to the war situation in Europe, both in terms of training and tactical system, and there is a considerable gap between them and us, as well as Britain and France, from the highest level to the grassroots units." Seckert thought for a moment and picked up his pen to write down the first sentence.

"The Japanese lacked an understanding of the war, and they preferred to win by playing a little trickery, which could be useful against the Russians, but on the Western Front, where the forces and firepower were unprecedentedly strong, such an act could only lead to a crushing defeat. Their infantry were full of sacrifice and relatively complete will to fight, but the officers above the middle rank lacked an understanding of the battlefield attempts, and they did not hesitate to get into the whole set of my design, ignoring the experience of the British and French in these months. ”

"It's hard to say what the level of the Japanese military top brass is. After all, we didn't catch any generals, this is the biggest regret of this battle, next time I will pay attention, in my opinion, if the grassroots Japanese army is equipped with British and French commanders, and has enough equipment, then it is still more threatening, but if the Japanese themselves command, it can only be said that in half a year, they will not learn to adapt to the European battlefield! Seckert eventually made an assertion to the Japanese. And then the summary of the Japanese combat effectiveness ended there. With a turn of the pen, he began to say another question.

"In this campaign, fast, the use of wheeled or light turf mobile artillery played an important role, which is very important for the battlefield direct fire supplement and anti-armor warfare, although the Hu Feng assault gun is very useful, but this powerful weapon has a strong offensive and defensive ability and cross-country ability at the same time, it also means that the cost is expensive and the number is scarce. The Kingdom of Bavaria, due to its small army, had enough industry to support these strong hoplites. But the Prussian corps was different, we needed more cheap mobile artillery. Thinking of this, Seckert paused and wrote.

"I PERSONALLY THINK THAT USING A CHEAP CHASSIS, HAVING ARMOR THAT CAN DEFEND AGAINST SHRAPNEL AND MACHINE GUNS, AND A TANK WITH A 77MM GUN IS OF GREAT SIGNIFICANCE FOR OUR FUTURE WAR, THE POWERFUL BAVARIAN ARMORED GROUP HAS REACHED THE EASTERN FRONT, WE ARE FACING THE ANGLO AND FRENCH ARMORED FORCES, WE ARE NUMERICALLY INFERIOR, WE NEED TO USE THIS ARMORED UNIT THAT CAN BE MASS-PRODUCED TO CLOSE THE NUMERICAL GAP BETWEEN THE TWO SIDES."

"It also makes a lot of sense to disperse this cheap equipment among the infantry units, at least they can provide the infantry with timely and effective direct-aim fire, and we have a storm strike team in each division, and these storm commandos are supported by towed artillery, which simply cannot keep up with the pace of the troops, and after breaking through the initial line of defense, the attacking troops slow down their advance due to the lack of fire support."

"As the main offensive direction of the troops, it is natural to be assigned to strong armored units, but the limited breakthrough is not fatal to the opponent, both sides have a depth of dozens of kilometers, the other side has enough time to mobilize troops to block a small number of breakthroughs, if we can increase some direct-aim artillery to make some non-key points have a certain ability to attack, then there will be a very important factor for the improvement of our army's combat effectiveness."

What is unexpected is that the greatest impression that Major General Seckert gained in this battle is not to recognize the weak nature of the current Japanese army, but to have a new feeling after referring to the achievements of "Kruger's Circus"! Originally, the Germans also had some truck guns, but most of these truck guns were defenseless, and most of them were used as curved fire to support firepower, but after months of fighting, more and more German front-line officers found that the problem of accompanying direct fire needed by the attacking troops had not been ......solved.

In other words, this problem has reached the point where it must be kicked open, and at this time, Major General Seckert put forward the idea of a "cheap version of an assault gun". From this point of view, the change it brought to the German Army was even more significant than the discovery that the Japanese army was currently relatively soft!

Isn't that right? NATURALLY, THAT'S RIGHT, BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF COMBAT VEHICLES WITH POOR PROTECTION IN WAR II, SUCH AS THE GERMAN'S RHINOCEROS, AN 88MML71 ANTI-TANK GUN MOUNTED ON THE TURF OF TANK NO. 4. Another example is the Soviet SU-76. In fact, to some extent, the American M10 and M36 should also be regarded as this kind of product, although the latter's protection is better, but it is still worse than the Cheetah, Ferdinand, and the Russians' SU122, SU100 and the like. These vehicles are on the territory of medium tanks, which are relatively inexpensive to build (the Americans' TD is not cheap), but because they have a decent or even anti-natural artillery, they are a great threat to all kinds of targets.
