Looking at the armies of all countries in the world today, the Japanese army's ability and level of night combat are undoubtedly the first-class. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Donghua Empire, which has always regarded Japan as its number one imaginary enemy, has spared no effort in the study of night warfare and night attack tactics.

Technology dominates everything, and it has always been the main army building idea of the royal navy, land and air forces of the Donghua Empire.

Therefore, advanced night vision devices have long become the standard equipment of the three armed forces of the Donghua Empire. This also made the night turn into day in the eyes of the three armed forces of the Donghua Empire. And this daylight is a unilateral daylight of the more technologically advanced side.

Not to mention cutting-edge equipment such as thermal imagers and infrared detectors, even Germany is still in the laboratory research stage for low-light night vision devices alone.

In this operation against the British, Cheng Gong, based on tactical considerations, specially provided a batch of individual night vision equipment to a small number of elite units, such as the German airborne troops, reconnaissance troops, and special operations troops. Thermal imagers and infrared detectors were also deployed to the grassroots level for the German army's armoured combat vehicles and ground and air aviation. Army combat units are only equipped at the company and platoon level. However, the same equipment was equipped in all combat units of the Donghua Empire to the squad combat group.

It can be said that the night of this war was a typical one-way battlefield transparency for the East German coalition forces.

The armies of the Western powers have always been biased towards the pursuit of firepower and technological superiority. Now this advantage has become the greatest feature of the Donghua Empire. Moreover, "The Art of War", which has the most far-reaching impact on the history of world wars, was born in the ancient oriental country of China. In the face of war, the Chinese paid more attention to the word "strategy".

Since the Industrial Revolution, Western society has pursued technology one-sidedly, so it has also been deeply influenced by the practice of warfare. Firepower became the only test of victory in the war. Even at the end of the 19th century, the ancient phalanx-style duel still existed on the battlefield.

The continuous development of smoothbore guns, rifled guns, arquebuses, rifles, front-loading guns, and breech-loading guns is changing the firing power again and again. And the strength of firepower determines the development and change of war.

The East, on the other hand, is developing its own military strategy. It was only after the duel between the East and the West in the middle of the 19th century that the defeat of the corrupt and incompetent Qing Empire made the West's "firepower winning theory" replace the "strategy theory" that the East had always emphasized. Among them, the most typical is that the Japanese, who broke away from Asia and joined Europe, took the lead in abandoning their "strategy" and embarked on the road of winning by firepower.

The First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War caused the fanatical self-lost Japanese to lose their way. Historically, when the Japanese in World War II were beaten all over by the Western countries represented by the United States, which was more concerned about the theory of victory by firepower, the Chinese, who had always been paying attention to the "theory of strategy," once again let the "strategy" of the East defeat the "theory of victory by firepower" of the West through the Korean War.

Today, the Donghua Empire, armed with the two ideas of "strategy theory" and "firepower theory of victory", not only far surpasses the Western countries in terms of "strategy", but also throws the Western countries at least three streets away in the level of "winning by firepower".

It has to be said that this is a typical asymmetric war.

In terms of weaponry, military training, technical and tactical theory, logistics supply, and the overall quality of individual soldiers, the soldiers of the East German Allied Forces surpassed the British soldiers in an all-round way.

Even if the British soldiers were fighting on their own soil, the East German allied forces, which had complete air supremacy, bombed the British army's logistics and transportation lines indiscriminately, so that all British troops fighting on the front line were faced with the dilemma of insufficient ammunition and military supplies.

The night attack of the East German coalition forces caused confusion among the British defensive forces, who did not know what the flash dazzling bombs were.

The panicked shouts of the British soldiers intensified the spread of panic.

The chains of fire spit out by the M2HB heavy machine gun and the MG42 general-purpose machine gun are intertwined into a network of fire symbolizing death, and the short clicking sound of the M249 Minniemi general-purpose machine gun is mixed in, constantly harvesting the lives of the British soldiers scurrying around on the front position.

One by one, the East German soldiers who were bent on their waists and flexibly stepped on the serpentine maneuver tactical steps on the soles of their feet, holding the M16A4 assault rifles and M4 series carbines in their hands, "da-da-da" accurately knocked down and killed the clear green figures in the night vision goggles.

The M203 bullet launcher spilled 40mm high-explosive anti-personnel grenades in an orderly manner, ruthlessly tearing apart the lives of the fleeing crowd with dense fragments of prefabricated grenades.

M998 Humvees roam the battlefield with agility, spraying deadly steel flames with on-board M2HB heavy machine guns and MK-19 grenade launchers.

The British soldiers in the chaos had completely lost their courage to fight, and even the desperate pressure of the high-quality professional army and the large number of sergeant majors who existed at the combat level could not prevent the collapse of the entire defensive line.

The frustrated communications soldiers clinged to the radio and desperately called for air fire support and artillery suppression.

Hoarse and rude scolding was incessant. The sea breeze blowing from the English Channel did not seem to take away the slightest bit of scorching heat, and all the uncontrollable negative psychological factors such as panic, helplessness, despair, and fear gushed out from the depths of their cowardly and powerless hearts.

The British Imperial Army, which was not supported by the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force, was a completely third-rate army.

Even the East German allied assault forces, which did not have the main battle tanks and helicopter gunships to provide fire cover, fought in a clear and orderly manner in the night battle.

On this night, all the people who were bloodied in this land were attracted by the countless meteor showers flying in the sky. Despite the call of death, the long trails of bright orange and yellow ballistics cut through the black velvet night, and the intertwined tracer light did look beautiful.

On the outer defense line of Southampton, the corpses of British officers and soldiers who fell to death in various postures were everywhere.

Some were smashed like sieve ships by airburst shells, some had their heads cut off by high-speed flying fragments, and many more were those who lacked arms and legs.

The internal organs, corpses, and blood had long since been dried in the heat. But in addition to the choking smoke of gunpowder, the salty and wet night wind still diffused a disgusting smell of blood.

Wounded British soldiers struggled on this Shura field. Stumps and broken arms, white bones, flowing blood; Howling, groaning. The sound of groans and cries in between makes this place seem as terrifying as the eighteen layers of hell......

Those British officers and soldiers and wounded who were lucky enough to enter the prisoner of war camp will never forget the longest part of their lives. Night. Perhaps this night will forever be a nightmare that wakes them up from their sleep.
