Chapter 760: Change your mind first

"What I said today, you must remember! If you want to survive future wars, you must first change your mindset! Remember! All supplies and weapons in battle are the cheapest consumables, except for experienced veterans! They are the backbone of an army and the soul of an army, without guns, the factory can be replenished through the assembly line, but the veterans and experienced officers are gone, and the replenishment speed can be calculated in years! It's a crime to let an experienced, systematically trained veteran survive on the battlefield for a few minutes! A Chinese officer snapped.

For the tactics of the Russians, the Chinese Army can be described as speechless, there is no shortage of people in the Russian army who command well, and sometimes some elite Russian troops can indeed cause some trouble to the Chinese Army, but in any case, the Russian army in general belongs to a military branch whose tactics are too rigid and rely very much on numerical superiority. They like to use dense forces to break up their opponents, and in their canon, a battalion attack is about 400 paces wide in front, while the distance between soldiers is only about one step, and the Russians overemphasize the intensity of the attack, but ignore the powerful damage of rapid-fire weapons to infantry. In the eyes of the Russians, the infantry is a real "gray cattle" that can be consumed and can be used "instead" of shells in wartime!

The Russian troops were too concerned about the gains and losses of technical equipment, and in order to make up for it, they had to fill it with human lives, which resulted in a continuous decline in the quality of the infantry. Then the Russian soldiers in the Second Sino-Russian War truly interpreted the word "cannon fodder"! They only know how to charge, and then attack each other with rifles at a distance of tens of meters. There was no coordination at all.

"This is our national situation, and our logistical pressure is obviously greater than yours. You have far more artillery and tanks than our army, and in this case, we can only compensate for the inferior firepower with infantry, and this is the result of defending steel with flesh. A Russian officer said unconvinced.

"Fight head-on, but you still have to fight to the death, I don't know if the road retreats and shrinks, such an army deserves to die." The Chinese officer said with a little disdain. "Even your forefathers knew that in the fight against Napoleon's army, he constantly retreated and cleared the ground, and confronted the superior enemy on the inside. And now you yourself are concentrating your troops in the Nebuchu fortress group, is this a matter of fact? During the First Sino-Japanese War, the overall strength of the Beiyang Army was not as good as that of the Japanese Army, and we could completely use the Air Force to exchange time. to slowly drag down the opponent. Who is to blame for your most defeat? โ€

"I can guarantee that in your future battles, you will encounter an enemy with a greater firepower advantage, and the opponent will be better armed. More logistics and more troops. If you continue to nail to the fixed defense line, then you will die even worse, the equipment level of the German Army is higher than that of the Chinese Army at this stage, if you continue to maintain the idea of attrition and positional warfare. I'm afraid that in a few months, there will only be new recruits left in your army, and when the time comes, with the sharp decline in the quality of the soldiers, how will you fight the battle that follows? The instructor asked rhetorically.

Faced with the present situation, the Germans will adopt a strategy of defending the west and advancing eastward. Instead of fighting against the powerful Britain and France, they united with Austria-Hungary and cooperated with the rebels in Russia to overthrow the Tsarist government. In turn, the war dividends were sufficient, but this time there were some changes, and Wilhelm II's chosen partners seemed to be some of the big capitalists and aristocrats in Russia. In Wilhelm II's plan, when the Germans had destroyed the main Russian army, the rebels would overthrow Tsarist rule and negotiate peace with Germany.

Let's not talk about how to deal with these pro-German forces in Russia, purely from a military level, Xu Jie really can't think of a way for the Russian army to confront the German army. The superiority of the German army is too great, and neither the quality of the troops, nor the level of equipment, nor the strategic and tactical aspects can be compared with the current Russia. Even from his plane, to the Second World War, when the Soviet industry had made great progress, the Soviet Union still could not defeat Germany alone. That's not to mention the current 1st battle in this plane!

So it's almost impossible to block it. Xu Jie's purpose is to allow the Russian army to consume the German army as much as possible, so that although Germany can defeat Russia, it cannot safely digest the fruits of victory, of course, more importantly, the new Russian government cannot be pro-German, and to do this, there must be an army that is anti-German and does not hate China. What Xu Jie has to do is to make this army able to consume the German army, and live to the fullest, so that he can continue to carry the anti-German banner when the government changes! Of course, land cessation is indispensable, but Xu Jie hopes that the two countries will die because of the territorial issue in Europe!

So Xu Jie formulated such a combat policy for the Russians in view of the current Russian national conditions and the level of technology and equipment provided by Huaxia, of course, the policy is the policy, as for how much can be implemented depends on the ability of these Russian officers and the British behind them, in fact, the British are not stupid, in many deductions have estimated that the Russian army will be defeated again and again, in order to prevent this ally from being finally defeated or falling to Germany, the British still attach great importance to these Russian army personnel trained in China.

First of all, this unit must be a highly mobile unit, and generally do not engage in positional warfare with the German Army, for the simple reason that all field fortifications, except for the fortified areas, are certain to be destroyed under the blows of the overwhelmingly superior large-caliber artillery! Although the Russian Army has now learned to concentrate heavy weapons at the division and corps levels, with Russia's ability in World War I, no matter how concentrated it is, the Russian Army at the division level will not have an advantage in firepower, and the result will be that the Russian army will be inferior in positional warfare, both in terms of equipment and the quality of its troops. Coupled with the high-level who can be called a tragedy, how do you say this battle will be fought?

However, fortunately, Russia still has one of the most advantageous advantages, that is, the internal line of combat supply and logistics will be relatively smooth, although considering Maozi's tragic transportation capacity, but with the support of railways and "requisition", the situation should be better than that of the German army. Xu Jie's policy was to form a rapid mobile force in the Russians of his training office, whose task was not to wear down and delay the opponent head-on. Rather, by constantly striking at the logistics of the German army and consuming vital forces from constant breakthroughs and intersperses.

During World War I, the tank's itinerary was still very limited, so on the vast Eastern Front, it was still a bit difficult to use tanks to form a mobile force and plug leaks everywhere. What is more critical is that there is no strong air force, and even communication is insufficient, in this case, the mobilization of the two sides involved in the war and the perception of the battlefield will be quite slow, especially once the mobilization of heavy artillery units begins, it is very difficult to change the deployment. Even the so-called armored forces, the formation of which is generally only a hundred kilometers to the sky. Considering the large number of logistical baggage troops that accompany it, this itinerary may have to be discounted. I'm afraid it won't work to save people quickly. So this would give the Russians a lot of room to maneuver to concentrate their forces, eat some of the German forces, and strike at logistical supply lines.

The mobility of this force will be mainly mule and horse, supplemented by a certain number of cars and half-tracks. The main force of this army is cavalry, which is to put it bluntly, maneuvering on horseback, but entering the battlefield in the form of infantry when it is put into battle. To improve the mobility of troops, half-tracks are used to facilitate use in more complex terrain, while trucks are used as logistics support vehicles for some important troops.

IN TERMS OF ARTILLERY, THE GUNS OF THIS ARMY WILL NOT WEIGH UP TO 2 TONS, WHICH MEANS THAT THESE GUNS ARE CAPPED AT 75MM CANNONS, 107MM SHORT HOWITZERS AND 150MM HEAVY MATARS. Theoretically, there will be no larger artillery in the troops at the division level. HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THESE MOBILE UNITS CAN OBTAIN SUFFICIENT OFFENSIVE FIREPOWER WHEN NECESSARY, XU JIE WILL PLACE 107MM CANNONS AND 150MM HEAVY HOWITZERS AT THE MILITARY LEVEL. These guns will be placed on truck or half-track chassis to ensure mobility. Of course, there will not be many 107MM cannons, and they may be simplified to a certain extent depending on the vehicle, such as shortening the barrel length or something. The aim was to give Russian artillery an asymmetric advantage in a certain range.

As for the larger-caliber artillery, Xu Jie didn't even think about it, because if the weight is increasing, it will exceed the weight that half-tracks and trucks can carry at this stage, and if you want to do it yourself, don't even think about it. And if they can't maneuver quickly, in the face of Germany's superior firepower, the survival rate of Russian artillery is worrying. In addition, in order to maximize the survival rate of Russian self-propelled guns, the Russian version of self-propelled guns theoretically carried little or no shells, and ammunition was provided by special ammunition supply vehicles. And the remaining weight provides the combat vehicle with light armor so that it can block the attack of shrapnel. As for the power, Xu Jie prefers diesel engines, after all, the east-west shape has a long stroke, and it is not easy to catch fire.

The artillery was only designed to compensate for the lack of firepower of this mobile unit, which was truly capable of fighting from the elite infantry and the weapons in their hands. Leaving the Russians and Germans desperately fighting for heavy artillery and tanks is absolutely unfutureable. In terms of the performance and production capacity of Russian tanks, it is absolutely impossible to compete with its opponents. Fighting a war is about fighting according to one's own ideas, since Xu Jie has decided to let the Russians find trouble with the German infantry and find a weak underbelly to fight. Then it is necessary to have a certain superiority in weapons.

I woke up in the side position today and turned on the computer in a daze. A few minutes later, I was stupefied by a string of shiny numbers. Well, as a newbie, it's been a long time since I've seen so many tips~~. How long has it been? I can't remember the side position, but it's been about 1 year~~~. The excitement in my heart, the gratitude~~\(โ‰งโ–ฝโ‰ฆ)/.

Here, I would like to solemnly thank Milshu Trasser's 10,000 starting coin reward and monthly pass support ~~~. The side position is guaranteed to be at least three days from today~~~. Xie Lu thanks everyone for their support~~~. (To be continued......)
