Chapter 578: Don't Move

"Are you so sure the British don't fight?"

Bai Zhenxi just couldn't see Qin Wei there...... Of course, he couldn't see anyone else getting scared in front of him, including Lao Jiang. But today's words made him sincerely dissatisfied...... This kid will never fight again, and now he is also a first-class "famous general" in China. Although the ordinary class thought that this kid was just an air force general and had led the air force to win several battles, but high-level people like them knew what was going on, and absolutely no one dared to underestimate this kid.

Even Lao Jiang, a guy who doesn't understand anything, but thinks he is a famous general, and always likes to point fingers in various battles, has almost no record of chaos when Qin Wei commanded various battles. For what? Because Lao Jiang knew very well that although Qin Wei was not good at commanding in battle, he could often let his side get the greatest results in the overall strategic planning. This is something that many people can't match. And in addition, there is another very important point, every time this kid starts, he basically does not mobilize too many troops. Qin Wei almost never used the tactics of rushing into a war zone like they did before, and occasionally used it once or twice, and it was also when the battle was almost at the end and began to fully accept the results, just like this time to recover Guangdong...... What really did it was Wang Yaowu's two airborne divisions plus MacArthur's 20,000 American soldiers, which combined to be a little more than a little more strength of an army, and as a result, the Japanese army was directly put in a certain position and had to choose to retreat. In this way, the various units of the Fourth Theater slowly followed behind the Japanese army and gradually recovered the territory.

But the more this is the case, the more dissatisfied Bai Zhengxi is with Qin Wei. After a few victories, do you really think that you can reach the end? Now even the "prophecy" has been made...... It is important to know that the British army in Burma and Malaya had 200,000 troops, while Terauchi Shouichi's southern army was only 300,000. It is also necessary to leave a part to garrison the Philippines and Siam, and the difference in strength between the two sides is not much. Therefore, the Japanese wanted to repeat the war in the Philippines in Burma and Malaya. Percival repeats MacArthur's mistakes, which is simply impossible.

"What's so hard about that?" Qin Wei glanced at Bai Zhenxi: "Don't you all understand it until now?" The British have been the number one in the world for 200 years, but they are very stubborn. ”

"This has nothing to do with being the best in the world, and even if the British are stubborn, it is impossible for them to make nonsense in such an important war." Chen Cheng said, "With MacArthur's experience, they can't underestimate the enemy. ”

"Even if it's not a light enemy. Neither can they. Qin Wei smiled, "And this is not the reason why the enemy is not underestimated." ”

"That's weird." He Yingqin laughed dryly, "There is almost no difference in strength, although the British are not as good as the Japanese in terms of the number of tanks, planes, and warships. But the strength of the troops and the equipment of the soldiers were not much weaker, and Wavell and Arthur. Percival is also a famous player in his country...... Such a force amount. Can't even stop the Japanese for two months? Are they all fools? ”

"That's why I said you still haven't carefully analyzed the specific reasons for MacArthur's failure." Qin Wei shook his head with a wry smile. "Ladies and gentlemen, I am certainly not as good as you in terms of military affairs, this is a fact. But you're really not good at learning and summarizing......"

"Why are you not good at learning to summarize? Don't...... What have we all overlooked? Lao Jiang couldn't help but ask.

"It's really something very important that is overlooked." Qin Wei solemnly tapped his finger at the table in front of him, "Tactics!" ”

"Tactics?" Everyone was stunned.

"Nowadays, the tactics of the East and the West are different, and there are even fundamental differences." Qin Wei said: "And it is precisely because he is not suitable for the Japanese tactics. MacArthur will collapse in the Philippines at the touch of a button. Now, I conclude that the British will inevitably repeat MacArthur's mistakes because the British have not discovered this either...... Their tactics are the same as MacArthur's! While Wavell or that or something Arthur. Percival may not have been weaker than MacArthur in military terms, but the Japanese restrained them precisely in their ranks. So. They don't have a chance to do it at all. It might be better for Wavell to hide in India, Arthur. Percival ...... Hmph, I think he might spend a few years in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. ”

“…… What is the difference between the tactics of the East and the West? Bai Zhenxi asked.

"Yes, we all know the power of the Western powers, why don't I know that the Japanese are just restraining them?" He Yingqin couldn't think of a reason for thinking about it for a long time, and couldn't help asking.

"The industry of the West is strong, and the soldiers are valuable, so their most common method of warfare is to pile up money...... Once a war with the enemy starts, it will definitely be the roar of chariots, the rumble of cannons, and maybe there will be overwhelming planes during the period, which will directly cause a ......hell of war to the enemy," Qin Wei sighed.

"There's nothing wrong with that. If I had so much money, I would like to do it too......" Zhang Zhizhong smiled, "Didn't we suffer the losses of the Japanese before because of insufficient weapons and equipment?" If we had enough artillery, and we had enough aircraft, and even tanks and combat vehicles, where would we be where we are today? In Shanghai alone, we were able to stop the Japanese and eventually drive them out into the sea. ”

"I remember that during the Battle of Taierzhuang, Sun Lianzhong was in charge of defense, but because of the lack of artillery fire, he had to disperse the troops first, so as not to be killed and injured by the Japanese artillery fire......" Bai Zhenxi also sighed, "In the final analysis, our industry is too poor." Otherwise, how can you be afraid of a little Japan? ”

"Both Britain and the United States are stronger in industry than Japan, but unfortunately, neither of them is an opponent of the Japanese, especially now." Qin Wei shook his head, "Because they just rely too much on equipment, on their cannons and all kinds of mechanized equipment...... In a battle of hand-to-hand combat and bayonet red, they are far behind, too far! ”

"Hand-to-hand? Bayonets red? Lao Jiang was puzzled, "The Japanese are winning in this regard?" ”

"Isn't that enough?" Qin Wei sighed lightly, "Terauchi Shouichi's firepower is not worse than MacArthur before, as well as the current Wavell and Percival, and now it is far more than the number of planes and tanks, and it has surpassed the other party in terms of hard power." And the Japanese soldiers dared to fight hard and dare to take risks, but this is a place where the British army and the American army are far from being compared. Neither soft nor hard power can be compared, no matter how exquisite their strategic and tactical arrangements are. How can they resist the wolf-like Japanese army? ”

"Hand-to-hand ......?"

Everyone was not in a hurry to question Qin Wei's statement, but on the contrary, they all fell into deep thought. And Qin Wei saw their performance, and nodded secretly. The people here are all battle-hardened generals, and even Lao Jiang is so-so, so he is an old soldier, so it is clear at one point. In fact, the British and American armies were inferior in hand-to-hand combat...... They lack a kind of killing energy that is not afraid of death. So, when it comes to coming face to face with a ferocious enemy, they often can't hold out for long. Among them, MacArthur in particular received the most lessons. …… Not to mention the defeat of the Philippines, MacArthur had fewer troops than the Japanese at that time, so he didn't see much of a problem. But what about the Korean War? If it was because the US military was too careless at the beginning. was attacked by the volunteers, so he retreated, but after that, MacArthur should also come to his senses, right? A generation of famous generals, with such strong strength and support, can't even stabilize their positions. In the end, he even asked the US Government to encourage Taiwan to counterattack the mainland and attack the Chinese mainland to share the pressure...... And Ridgway, who succeeded MacArthur. It was also in the U.S. Army that a low-ranking officer discovered that the logistics and transportation of the Volunteer Army were not smooth. After the huge shortcoming that the offensive could only last for about a week, the troops were ordered to hold out for seven days, and then took advantage of the lack of ammunition and food supplies of the volunteers to launch an offensive, and only then did they barely get a chance to hold on to the volunteers. However, if the Volunteer Army at that time could obtain a more timely and sufficient logistical replenishment, its offensive would have lasted not just one week, but two. Or even three weeks? Will Li Qiwei still hold on? …… So, in Qin Wei's view, the end of the Korean War was, to some extent. In fact, it is the result of the soldiers of the Volunteer Army who collided with the powerful industrial strength of the Americans with a ruthlessness that is not afraid of death.

It is undeniable that the Japanese army at this time was also not very afraid of death, and it was more ferocious than the volunteers...... However, the equipment of the Japanese army and the American army in the Far East, as well as the British army, was not too similar, and even had to win, in this case, the American army failed, and the British army could not win the victory, and the speed of their defeat would not be too different. Just like after the volunteers entered Korea, they swept all the way and almost drove the US troops into the sea. Qin Wei even thought that if it weren't for the fact that the Japanese Navy was defeated too quickly, so that MacArthur and Nimitz could use the "island jumping" tactic to easily cross one island after another guarded by the Japanese Army, and finally directly kill in front of the Japanese mainland, but let the US military only fight island by island, in that case, would the United States still be able to win the Pacific War so quickly?

Of course, these are all just Qin Wei's personal "conjectures" at present. However, it is undeniable that the armies of Western countries are indeed somewhat deficient in their tactics and even suffer some "defeats" in the Korean War! Obviously, this phenomenon is not something that the generals of the British and American armies will be aware of and can change for a while.

"I'll admit that you mean a little bit......" After thinking for a long time, Bai Zhenxi finally spoke first. In fact, he still hadn't figured out the meaning of what Qin Wei said...... The main reason is that he has also suffered several times in Qin Wei's hands, and he doesn't dare to fight with Qin Wei: "Now let's not think about whether the British will be defeated quickly, you want to get the Americans to Yunnan first, this should be no problem, but we always have to have someone guarding the China-Myanmar border, ready to fight in Burma at any time, right?" I think Guan Linzheng is good, Chairman, what do you think? ”

"Guan Linzheng can't move." Without waiting for Lao Jiang to speak, Qin Wei spoke first.

"I think so too," Lao Jiang was very happy, Guan Linzheng was used by him to watch Yunnan, of course, he couldn't easily send out to fight the Japanese, "I want to send Lu Han's 60th Army south!" They are troops from Yunnan, and most of the soldiers are Yunnan people, so they are more familiar with the environment. And the soldiers of the Yunnan army are also very capable of fighting! ”

"Chairman, I think...... It is better not to move lightly in the Dian army. Qin Wei smiled bitterly and said again.

"......" (To be continued......)
