The Ming Empire was too vast, so vast that no one could have imagined, and when the land was vast enough to a certain extent, it would fill people with awe, because enormity could often represent the power contained to a large extent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is also the reason why Western countries are willing to use giants or giant beasts as representatives of power, imagine a three-story python, just one glance to know the infinite power...... Similarly, if you see a dragon as tall as a seventy-story building, the python in front of it is not worth mentioning.

To get back to the point, the territory of the Ming Empire is huge, so when it snows in the north in winter, the weather in the south is still warm as spring. While a large group of herders experienced the vast grassland riding horses, another group of mountain people could only cut off branches with their knives and carefully walk through the jungle.

Within the territory of this country, there are almost any terrain and landforms that can be found in this world, and of course, you can also find aboriginal people who can adapt to these terrains! Therefore, when the Ming Empire decided to start a war on a certain terrain, it could directly select from the troop sequence and find out the soldiers who were suitable for these terrains.

Wang Jue also arrived in the south, only to find that the climatic conditions and terrain here were ten times more exaggerated than the southern situation he had known. Unlike the Ichimahira River in the north, it is full of deep mountains and old forests, and even radio signals can be affected by interference.

What's even more terrifying is the humid air, abundant rain, dreaded mosquitoes and muddy swamps. The armored vehicles and tanks he brought with him, even the lighter No. 1 Initial Model, could hardly find a suitable battlefield for them.

On the southeast peninsula, because of the frequent wars and the frequent tug-of-war between the two sides, long-abandoned trenches and fortifications can be found in any barren mountain and forest, and the trenches dug by these soldiers have now been washed into shallow pits by the rain, overgrown with weeds and inhabited by pythons and poisonous insects.

If it weren't for the broken logs that had been crawling with mushrooms scattered around the edges of these shallow pits, outlining the regular shape of the trenches, it would not even be possible to tell whether this was just a naturally formed pothole or whether it was artificially dug out.

The trenches where the hordes of soldiers were stationed can only be described in two words. Unlike the trench warfare of Europe, everything here is subject to the weather and the natural environment. The soldiers had to endure dampness and mud, and were constantly on the lookout for malaria and other diseases.

The socks on the soldiers' feet were never dry, and most of the time they had to be left wet with a strange smell on their feet. It's not easy to dry clothes here, but you can't put them on without washing them, and it's possible to wear clothes for dozens of days in the desert, and after a few days of wearing them here, they will start to get moldy.

Curling up in a trench doesn't mean you're safe, because from time to time poisonous insects break through the ground, centipedes, scorpions, some unknown spiders, and a wide variety of venomous snakes...... Mosquitoes here can be deadly, and the enemy is not just Ceylonese soldiers in the trenches opposite.

"The results of the exercise were very bad, and the communication system that we rely on to be proud of is very difficult to work here...... "Guo Xing was transferred from the north to the south, and he has been a little unaccustomed to it. His stomach and intestines have been uncomfortable for the past few days, although the military doctor said that he was only slightly unaccustomed, but this unaccustomed to water and soil did torment the commander-in-chief.

In the small-scale adaptive military exercises that had just been secretly carried out, the troops of the Ming Empire who participated in the exercises did not give full play to their advantages, and like the old troops who fought in the ravines and ravines all year round, these soldiers could only rely on the old methods to fight, and their effectiveness was greatly reduced compared to before.

The radio command system, on which the Ming army relied so much, was almost a mess here. Because of the shielding and interference of the mountains and rainforests, the distance that the signal can be transmitted is almost twice as long as in the north, which makes the coordinated combat system of the Ming army not get due play and directly affects the combat effectiveness.

"In the north, the command vehicle I use now can receive radio communications from at least 10 kilometers away...... But now that we're across a mountain, we may only hear the noise of zilazila. Guo Xing looked at the dozens of huge radio antennas set up on the side and said.

Before coming to the south, they had already communicated with the Nanjing Radio Equipment and Instrument Factory about this problem, and the manufacturer also improved their communication antennas according to the geographical environment of the south. The wire antennas on many armored vehicles have been modified into rack-mounted antennas on the top of the hull. Moreover, the antenna as a whole has been thickened and lengthened in order to enhance the transmitting and receiving function of the signal.

However, the actual results obtained are still not very satisfactory, at least not very satisfactory to front-line commanders like Guo Xing. In order to solve the communication problem, the Ming army had to set up antennas on the top of the mountain as a relay, or simply set up the headquarters on the top of the mountain high enough so that the radio signal could cover a wide enough area.

However, this also brought a fatal problem, that is, the command was too easy to expose: no one dared to guarantee how long this method could be concealed, and if the other side discovered this law, it was easy to cause unnecessary losses to the commanders of the Ming army. At present, the solution of the Ming army can only rely on a small range of communication transmission, so that the commander can obtain information from the front line as much as possible.

Another disadvantage that also gave the Ming Empire a headache was that the southeast peninsula was full of mountains and tropical rainforests, and such a topography was indeed not conducive to the Ming Empire's army, which had a higher level of mechanization and was more dependent on logistics and supplies. You must know that it is definitely a very difficult thing to transport artillery shells to the mountainous areas, and the artillery firepower advantage cannot be brought into play, which is also one of the reasons why the Ming Empire cannot be used.

As long as anti-slope fortifications are built and proper tunnels are constructed, the enemy's artillery superiority can be effectively contained. After fighting with the Ming Empire for so long, of course, he knew the strength of the Ming army's artillery, so he naturally summed up a set of effective defensive measures, and it was not an easy thing to take advantage of the artillery battle against the defenders of Ceylon.

In the same way, when the offensive dumps ammunition is restricted by the transportation and supply situation, it is impossible to let go of its hands and feet, and when attacking, the ammunition base and material reserves are constantly calculated, and the commanders will not be able to really arrange tactics as they want, let alone unscrupulously give full play to their own firepower superiority.
